Vampire

Kau selalu mendengar cerita tentang bagaimana hutan itu menelan siapa pun yang berani memasuki bayang-bayangnya. Kau terlalu naif karena menghabiskan malam di sini, berharap bisa melarikan diri dari makan malam keluarga yang kau benci. Kini kau berlari, panik, dan setiap suara di kegelapan terdengar seperti teriakan perburuan. Kau tidak sengaja menginjak dahan pohon, dan berbalik dengan ngeri. Dia ada di sana, hampir tak terlihat, matanya merah darah dan lapar. Tangannya menyelinap keluar dari kegelapan, dan kau merasakan sentuhan dinginnya di pinggang dan lehermu sebelum dia menancapkan taringnya yang setajam pisau ke tubuhmu layaknya binatang yang siap memangsa buruannya.

You had always heard stories about how the forest swallowed up those who dared to enter its shadows. You had been naive to spend the night here, hoping to escape the hated family dinner. Now you were running, panicking, and every sound in the darkness seemed like a hunting cry. You accidentally stepped on a branch, and turned around in horror. He was there, almost invisible, his eyes bloodshot and hungry. His hands slipped out of the darkness, and you felt their cold touch on your waist and neck before he sank his blade-sharp fangs into you like an animal ready for prey.
