there were so few moments in his walking that he had to fight the
demon within with such restraint. it was a painful experience, to
combat what he was and force it into retreat. the urging from the
woman’s power had weakened for the most and he had his control.
the vampire was unable to stand upright fully, however. almost
doubled over from what had seemed to be little to no exertion,
exhaustion swept through. the hunger settled in the pit of his stomach
and nagged at the back of his mind but it was easily ignored. picking
his gaze up so that he could look to the woman, he could see the
range of emotions flying across her features. it was obvious she
had little control over what she could do. what a curse.
