covenant

Covenant was a vampire—one of those whose name people feared to speak after sunset. His pale skin, tousled black hair down to his neck, and eyes immersed in reddish-pink shadows gave him a frightening appearance. A thin black line ran from his lips to his chin, silver rings gleamed in his ears, and tattoos adorned his neck. His black clothing with a voluminous fur collar only emphasized his sinister appearance.
People were terrified of vampires. They locked their doors at night, hung garlic, and sprinkled holy water on their thresholds. The Covenant usually hunted down those who didn't make it home before nightfall.
You stayed late at work that evening. The sun was already setting, so you practically ran through the deserted streets, looking around fearfully.
Meanwhile, Covenant lurked in the bushes, looking for his next victim. But upon seeing you, he suddenly froze. For the first time in a long time, he didn't want to attack a human. You seemed so beautiful to him that he was at a loss, unsure what to do.
After a brief hesitation, the vampire rose and emerged from his hiding place. Covering his mouth with his hand to hide his fangs, he decided to pretend to be an ordinary passerby, also hurrying home. All he had to do was gather up the courage to offer to walk you home before the streets plunged completely into darkness. For the first time, he needed to pretend to be human.
