"If you let it in, it will suck you up until there is nothing left of you"
Soft voice knocking at my door. I smile and look through the window,
a strange figure dressed in a very appealing way smiles and ask me for
an invitation to enter my house. My inside yells No,
but something never felt before, calls me to open.
They are mythological or folkloric beings who subsist by feeding on the life essence (generally in the form of blood) of living creatures, regardless of whether they are undead or a living person.
I turn around and start walking towards my room to clean the mess of my last visitor, who had left me heart broken, as usual. Nude from my toes to my soul, I search for clean clothes to dress with. While the strange figure awaits at my door, music from the radio blast my soul, and
I start to smile at the thought of having someone to
love.
"He/she may not enter anywhere at first, unless there be some member of the household to bid him/her to come; though afterward he/she can come as he/she pleases.
Confused and desperate, in need of an exit of all this mess, I wonder through my mind if the person at my door would mind the disaster surrounding me. I rush to the mirror and comb my dark hair. Through the reflection of the mirror that points the window of my room, I see the eyes of an owl observing my moves, I turn. His eyes look straight at me, as if could answer any question...
-I'm scared. I mumble,
-everything will be fine. Trust me.
-But I'm loosing me.
-I will help you find you. Just open the door.
I take a look outside the window, surprised.
I didn't notice how fast the night has fallen.
They have control over the animal world and can turn into a bat, rat, owl, moth, fox, or wolf.
May this stranger be my hope, shaped in a different form? Trembled, fear, curiosity.
Never took this long for me to invite or revoke someones invitation to my home.
There is something inside me that pulls beneath the surface, yelling to avoid this guest,
Consuming, confusing me. This lack of self-control, I fear is never ending.
Nude to my soul, can't find the appropriate clothing to dress myself with.
The visitor awaits, while its voice asks one more time,
"let me in".
"It initially emerges as a soft blurry shape with no bones. “bags of blood” with red, glowing eyes. If he/she could survive for 40 days, he/she would then develop bones and a body and become much more dangerous and difficult to kill"
The pressure of the guest starts to make me nervous.
Am I loosing my only chance?
I don't wanna say no, but something in me fears that opening this door
could lead to something different of what I expect. As I put on my purple dress,
I walk towards the door, decided to open and let my guest in.
"There is nothing to fear" I tell myself.
I lied.
They are just like fleas - They cheat a little.
As I unlock the door, I see the sun rise and stare with amusement for couple of minutes. "OPEN THE DOOR" he yells, but its figure its that of a woman's flesh. Confused to the light that reflects a horrified image.
she grabs my hands and asks me one more time,
-do you trust me?
-I don't know you
-Just let me in, invite me in. NOW!
-Come i...
without finishing my words, the figure smiles and grabs my neck. I fear for my life.but there is no time to think, or fear, or ask. I feel something burn my insides. Pleasure and Pain in a merely second.
-Let go. I cried.
-Please, let me go
As I start to loose conscious I go back to the memory of my father's last words.
"If you let the vampire in, they will suck your blood until there is nothing left of you".
I thought he was crazy but as I smile, I grabbed the silver knife he was given me to protect myself.
I come back to my reality and reach the left pocket of my purple dress.
I had no idea what I was about to do, with the last strength left in my body,
I stab its left back side, penetrating his/her heart and accidentally penetrating my chest.
We both lay unconscious on the floor.
I taste blood on my lips, but was not sure of whether was my own,
or the creature I had just assassinated. I had saved my life but had destroy my soul.
As I recover my consciousness I reach for the wound but find no hole,
just a broken cross covered in blood. Where did it come from?
Could it be possible? Was I saved?
With blood running through my fingers, I grab the cross from under the dress
to find myself holding the rest of a rosary.
