Ending the Shadow Curse

third part to My Shadows

The blood of a boy

Laying so close

Begs for my attention.

I look down at him.

He lies still and cold,

His breathing shallow.

He knows not of us

Of me and my Shadows.

I can't do it.

I've never had this trouble before.

I crave his blood

More than any other.

I can't hurt him.

I refuse.

I'll fight my Shadow friends away

Just to save this human boy.

He cannot be harmed.

I must protect him.

He opens his eyes.

He stares into mine.

A blast of light blinds me

And burns me.

My death must be ending

But it is not possible.

Of course, I am in love

And I must be loved.

If not, there would be no end

To my Shadow curse.
