…the deafening screams echoed through the cold night…

 

I sprang to the surface of the freezing water as quickly as I possibly could. Gasping for air I tread the deep water, my head spinning faster than a fairground ride. 

Every direction I look I see another body collapse either on the ground or into the black water. 

The deafening screams echoed through the cold night, followed by wicked laughs from vile demons. 

Suddenly a pair of devilish, red eyes meet mine. I watch cautiously as he drops his trembling victim. I notice the blood dripping from his fangs as he gets closer.

They did exist, vampires, were real.
