The need gnawed at him, chasing all other thoughts from his mind.

Bright light pierced his eyes.

Pain.

Danger.

He had to get away.

Back into the shadows.

Protecting.

Sheltering.

Safe.

He heard a distant voice asking if he needed help.

He smiled, the need would soon be sated.

He bowed his head to hide his bared teeth as a soft moan beckoning the man towards him.

Closer.

Closer.

Now!

He leapt onto his prey. A brief struggle as his teeth bit deep and he tasted blood.

He staggered away. The need fulfilled for the young now had a host.

Eek! Scary.

I'll have a think and then add some tags at the comm for you.

That's brilliant - deeply disturbing!

[lukadreaming.livejournal.com]

Good one -- very creepy!

[lsellersfic.livejournal.com]

Excellent look at that scene!

[fredbassett]

An excellent look into poor Tom's head.

[nietie.livejournal.com]

Poor Tom! That's how it must have felt like. Excellent drabble.

[bella-farfalla.livejournal.com]

Eeep very scary. Poor Tom.

Eek! That was creepy!

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Eeep! Poor Tom!

[eriah211.livejournal.com]

Oh, that was a scary look at Tom's mind!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Glad you liked it. Dodo parasites as the origin of the vampire legend? (hmmm).

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Yay for scary fic.

And thanks for the tagging, I didn't want to tag it incorrectly.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*g* Thanks for the comment.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thankyou, it just demanded to be written.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it (now I'm wondering about the dodo version of it *shakes head*)

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Nice to know you think that and thanks again for the beta.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

It was definitely poor Tom in the ep. Thanks for the comment.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Nice to know it worked. Tom didn't have a very good day.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Good to hear it worked OK.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'm sure he has a nice spot in Sanctuary (nods).

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Glad to know it worked. Thanks for the comment.

xP Well, it made sense to me. Especially upon reading your drabble. (Really reminded me of Scott Westerfeld's PEEP or something).

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Oh it made perfect sense to me. *eyes the dodo-parasite-vampire-bunnies warily*

[canadian-jay.livejournal.com]

Lol! *pokes with a stick* Those look like dangerous little bunnies, they do!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Me or the bunnies? *g*

**sighs* I think they have made themselves at home in the warren, though the werebunnies are growling at them.*

[canadian-jay.livejournal.com]

The bunnies, of course! Although poking you might be less dangerous to my health. xD

*cackles* Excellent! :D

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thought so, and a stick would be a good idea with them. LOL over the last part.

I will have to see what hops out, though I have a vague semi-formed idea ... maybe ... ponders.

[talliw.livejournal.com]

Eeek. Tom as a predatory beast only lead by the instinct of an ancient creature is a horrible image.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

I know, I was mean to Tom. It was a very nasty end for the poor guy. Thanks for reading it.

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

eek! Very scary and primal.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

It was for poor Tom as well, glad you liked it.
