“Okay.” She moves her hair back. She stands up. She helps me stand up. I try to run but I can’t. I walk slowly to find an animal. I don’t get far before I collapse again. Harper gets in front of me again.

“N…no.” I stand up and limp farther. “I can do this. I will find an animal.” I see a bunny and I lung at it. I completely miss it because I’m too slow. I growl. I stand up and hobble some more. I find a deer. I hide behind a tree. I wait till it’s not looking. I pounce and it too moves to quickly. I hear someone walk in the snow behind me. I stand up and turn toward them. I see Harper looking at me with sad eyes. I start to hobble some more.

“Please stop. It’s no use.” I fall to the ground. I grab my own wrist and dig my fangs into it. I suck. “Stop!” Harper runs to me and falls to her knees next to me. Harper pulls at my arm. I keep my fangs in my wrist. “You’re not doing anything. You’re just making it worse! Stop!!” She keeps pulling at my arm. I snap and lung at her. I dig my blood covered fangs into her juicy neck. I suck hard. I just keep sucking and sucking. I lose control of myself. She starts to cry. “Stop.” She gasps. “Stop. It’s too much! It hurts!” I pull them out. I take off running.
