You tread carefully through the great hall,
Footsteps…echoing, silhouettes dance in the shadows,
A wolf howls, calling, mesmerised in the moonlight,
You emerge once again into the outside world,
Safe now……or so you think,
The game has just begun.
He can smell your fear, feel your heart beating,
Beating, beating, almost bursting out of your chest,
You convulse as a tingle journeys down you spine,
Sensing eyes burning into your soul
You know he’s out there……..but where!
The hunt is on.
He’s waiting…..Waiting for you!
Can already taste your sweet blood, your nectar,
You hear a rustle above, like the wings of a great bat,
Stupidly you look up and know it’s too late,
Trapped …..like a fly in the web of death,
As you life drains away.
