A silence that first became broken by his own, insensitive remark, soaked still in the memory of the war waged on this battered rock. And how he, along with a few others, tried their best to prevent one terrifying species from completely annihilating another.

"Hard to forget it." Tone acquiring a sombre lean, he learns quickly about what his fanged associate intends, encouraging the casting of garnet hues upon what resides in the pockets of deep shadow, where no ray of red sunlight dared to reach. Though reluctant, enhanced vision picks out the shapes of exsanguined, multi-limbed corpses, piled upon one another, lying alongside what remains of smaller forms, armaments lying where their owners fell for the final time.

never when the screaming & wailings of terror filled the midnight sky, drowning those who pleaded to the powered ones to assist with every sickening slash & crack. oh, but they moved ever so swift when war was quick to announce towards the oppressors! a low, dangerous deep rumble emits from the core as gaze was met from below, rising & fluctuating as visionless sockets move away to set on the fallen ones that rest in their place.

nothing. he knows nothing, not when the great source for this shameful, pride-induced show comes from elder thyself. the first-born, the begotten one of her shamed kindred— wielded like a mere weapon in a child-like grasp. he doesn’t know her sentience, her full obedience to one that brought them into the light-stricken world. she may have granted him a mere fraction of their power, but she can taketh away in her sealed form below. perhaps, it’s time to re-teach the wounded animal a familiar lesson that they only know. yes, it seems wickedly so.

That’s the voice of Dr. Fareed Bhansali. He’s the personal physician to the deputy prime minister and… 

"You falter from your territory, brother?" rumbled the question from the darkness. Though, Orlok was under no misunderstanding that the other would not notice him within the shadows. The ancient vampire shifted forward from the darkness, claws dragging along the walls as his hulking form emerged like from ink. The light barely reflecting in his dead eyes, he would appear a nightmare to anyone who might not understand exactly what he was.

call me when they bury bodies underwater.

it's easier to try not to eat.

anything to get me to sleep.

i woke up surrounded.

they know, they don't understand.

i'm trying not to crush into sand.

wash away the blood on my hands.

don't wake me up.

lift me out.

leave nothing left.

take everything.

make me bleed.

give me all that i want.

you know you hypnotize me aways.

i have waited.

i know that you can see that you will be mine.

did you not say we were made for each other?

there is a new intention.

do you like that?

i stumbled into your trap.

i fall into your eyes like a grave.

keep the freak show talk to a careful minimum.

i'll find a different harbor to lay my anchor in.

i'm still full of the love you want.

i reach for you on faith alone.

seems your heart is locked up and i still get the combination wrong.

are you simply waiting to save your love for someone i am not?

maybe you believe that in the end, you will be better off that way.

won't you fall for me?

my insecurities surround me like lions in the den.

i feel like i'm losing touch with what i am again.

i remember why i cannot pretend.

i never think of you and all this screaming silence.

oh god, i wish you were here.

i am yours to the end.

every once in a while something changes.

you're changing me.

it's too late for me, i am altered.

i'm caught up in your design.

i see a different light.

let's talk about chemistry.

i'm dying to melt through to the heart of your molecules.

either way, i'm into it.

i can tell i'm falling further again.

i won't turn away. it's far too late for me.

i am broken into fractions.

it's too late for me.

just take it all.

you just don't feel the same.

you can't recall my name.

i've been left no choice.

don't you see that?

you come crawling back to me, but i'm already on the ground.

we all know the talk is cheap.

you don't wanna be around.

what would you do for me?

i won't repeat what i have said beforehand.

why don't you just say what you wanted to say for once?

you guide me in to safety and silence.

this is the start of something new.

your eyes and your limbs are instruments to pick apart.

let the tides carry you back to me.

my arms are open.

for the time being, i will still avoid my own questions.

you know, i can hold my breath forever.

you are still a perfect reminder of what all of these scars on my arms are for.

if i can hold myself together...

it seems my hell is your high water.

i'll smile through the agony for you.

i will admit my defeat again.

i will accept that i can't pretend we will ever be together.

i can't hold myself together.

i'd give anything to borrow your indifference.

it still makes my blood run cold to remember what they did before.

worry not.

my polite advances won't last for long.
