Bert’s P.O.V

Back in the privacy of my own home I let the hot tears that has been prickling on the corner of my eyes for quite a while to spill down my cheeks and on to the bare floorboards of my beaten down flat , too poor to buy any real furniture or clothes I had a small crate as a stool and an old, stained mattress I had found dumped behind a building in the corner , even my clothes ad been stolen from a local charity shop, I looked across at Lottie , she was tied to a chair and was glaring at me , she showed no fear in her eyes and wasn’t even struggling. In the corner of the room there was a small carrier bag with my few treasures and possessions, I reached inside and pulled out a small dusty frame, I held it up to the window a blew the dust away inside it there was an old yellowing picture of two young boys, Me And Gerard, Gerard was holding an old guitar and I was standing behind a mic we were both smiling and hugging each other, I smiled , it was from mine and Gerard’s band, we both sucked at making music but we were doing it together, that was all that mattered I felt my eyes stinging again and threw the picture against the wall, as the shards of glass fell at my feet I slowly stood up and picked the sharpest one I could find , I picked it up and pushed my sleeve up my arm, and dug the glass into my bare flesh , I turned my arm over and slashed at my wrists , leaving neat cuts that were gushing blood, I then lifted a loose floorboard and pulled out a small white box containing sleeping pills, I snapped off the child safety lid and tipped a whole load into my sweaty palms, I dry swallowed them and winced as I forced them down my throat
Again I looked over at Lottie, she was crying now , I walked over , cutting my feet on the sharp glass that was now littering the floor , I knelt down , so as to be eye level with her, I leant forward and gently kissed her , just to see what it was like before I died, id never had a girlfriend before, I thought she would have pulled away but she didn’t , she kissed back ,I was kissing the girl had just kidnapped and she was kissing me back! The sleeping pills were aready making me drowsy so I knew I had to be quick before I passed out. I broke away from the kiss, still reeling from the shock of her kissing me back I walked around so she was facing away from me and bit down on her neck , gently at first then as soon as I broke flesh I forcefully tore at her throat, ripping away , as blood ran down my mouth , that sweet taste, how i had missed that, i was half vampire after all her blood curdling screams tore through my flat , I pressed my hand down against her mouth and waited until her head went limp and fell onto her chest , she wasn’t dead yet , but she would be soon , as her life slowly ebbed away I managed to barely whisper:

“ I Just Killed The only woman I ever loved”
As I collapsed, hopefully for the last time
