Page 37 of Blood Lust

The person I am slams back into me harder than the car hit the rocks.

Spencer Brown.

My ex.

The reason I was so upset that night.

I don’t know how he is here. All I know is that the pure rage and despair that had filled me twelve days ago creeps into my heart again.

White hot and seething, the desire to annihilate him enters me. The blood lust screams to be satisfied. I can hear the other Wren, and she is pacing inside of me, wild and completely feral. She wants to rip him. Tear him. She wants to consume his life as her prize. He is so vulnerable.

Spencer’s frustration that my pants are too tight to pull down easily grows, and he looks into my eyes with that same look he used to have. He despises me. He will tell me if given half a chance, and it will be my fault again.

I hate him.

“Let me destroy him.” The blood lust is whispering to me.

No.

I try to fight her.

But she is much too strong, and she takes control anyway.

Snarls and growls escape me as I launch my mouth back onto Spencer’s neck. I use my strength to change our positions, pinning him onto the couch. My teeth clack together as I unskillfully devour him.

I am ripping, and tearing. His flesh mangles in my mouth. Spencer is screaming. His hands are clutching me to him instead of pushing me away, his brain has not caught up with what is happening. I hear banging on the door, but it does nothing to deter me.

MINE.

I drink his blood and continue tearing at his throat, the pounding grows louder, and the door is kicked in a moment later. Charlee stands there in shock.

An inhuman screech tears through my throat as I ravage him

There is nothing except me and Spencer.

The only things that exist are my hunger and my prey.

Arteries tear open, and his blood pours into my mouth, onto my shirt, his shirt, and the couch where I feed. His heart gives a lopsided pitiful beat and then stops. I pull my mouth away and lick his blood from my fingers. I suck on them to get every last morsel I can.

I feel hands pull me off of him.

Satisfied, my feral self settles and purrs itself back into a slumber in my mind.

It is done. Our enemy is destroyed.

The blood lust fades.

I freeze in place, staring at nothing. My mind is reeling.

Charlee shuts the door quickly and pulls her phone out of her pocket. She is speaking, but I can’t make out the words.

I am too lost in what has happened.

My memories are mine again. I remember my mother, my father, and the family dog. I remember working at my dream job. I remember the first time I met Spence at a college party. Our first date. The first time we made love. The first time he told me he loved me. I remember how he started pulling away, so I held on tighter, all of our plans together, and how I cried myself to sleep so many times. How I nursed bruises and pretended they were nothing.

I remember going to the store and seeing Oz. I remember fighting with Spencer about the insane draw I felt to the stranger. I remember going down the mountain much too fast.

He wouldn’t slow down.
