Mated To Valentine
I stumble, my limbs sluggish, my vision swimming with bright spots.
My senses are sharper than before—heightened to the point of madness.
I can hear the whisper of the wind through the grass, the distant rustle of something moving in the field.
There's something strong that hits my nose almost too instantly.
Blood.
The scent is intoxicating. Sweet. Rich. Alive.
It calls to me, sings to me, drags me forward like a puppet on a string. My legs move before my mind can catch up, my body acting purely on instinct.
