Rose from the Darkness — Kate Finch

Rosemary dropped the boy as she felt him go faint. She wiped the blood from her lips, disgusted with herself, with her hunger. His blood ran through her veins giving her life, warming her frozen body. The burning eased. Her demon sighed satisfied. A soft breeze ran through the hot night and she knew Drake was nearby, she could smell him. He stepped out of the darkness and looked down at the boy sleeping peacefully on the cold concrete floor."He's going to suffer in the morning," he chuckled and wiped a few drops of blood from his chin. His mood had clearly lightened once more. Where was his catch? Lucinda had said that males struggled more to feed but she wasn't so sure she believed it with Drake. He seemed to handle it just fine on his own. Rosemary frowned at him."How can you be so cruel, like they're just food?" she asked coldly still angry with him. Drake glanced at her and she saw the animosity flash through those secretive silver eyes."They are just food, are you forgetting your night with that monster? What could've happened to you? What would've happened to you if you were still one of them?" Drake growled. Rosemary shuddered."Not everyone is like that though," she argued defensively. Drake laughed humourlessly."Of course they are. They are all selfish. They are all manipulative, they are all destructive. They are all animals th..." "If they are animals then what the hell are we?" she snapped interrupting him. Drake looked at her with menacing silver eyes.
