The Taste of Blood

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

I woke up to a ferocious hunger, a hunger I have never felt before. It was painful I could hardly bare it. I clasped my stomach to try and make the pain go away, it didn't. I curled up on the cave floor trying not to wine in pain.

"Cave floor?" My eyes shot open and I looked around. This was the cave I had hid in during that dream. Well what I thought was a dream. I looked at my still bloody hands as memory's of the mare I had beaten to a pulp flashed through my mine.

I wasn't sure what I was feeling confusion, fear, anger? It was hard to pin down. It was at that moment my stomach began to throb again reminding me of my hunger.
I was unsure on what I would eat as I had no experience on hunting or knowing what plants were edible. I looked at my bloodyed hands again and an awful thought crossed my mind.

"No I couldn't. But what options do I have." I brought my fingers close to my lips and began to lick the blood off of them. It tasted sweet like an apple. I couldn't help but continue licking my hand clean of the blood until not a drop was left.

I was ever so slightly sad it was all gone but at least my hunger died down quite a bit. I didn't want to enjoy the taste of another creatures blood but I did and I craved more of it.

I stood up and made my way towards the cave entrance. The sun burned my eyes as I looked at the extremely blue sky. It was beautiful the sky of this new land almost no clouds.

I began to make my way through the forest until a heard what sounded like water flowing. I followed the sound until I made it to a small river. "Finally water." I thought to my self as I kneeled down and scooped up the water in my hands before drinking it.

It tasted wonderful, it was probably the cleanest water I have ever tasted. I then relisted how pale my hand looked. I don't remember it ever looking like that. I checked my other hand and yes that one was extremely pale too. I looked up from my hands across the river and saw... oh god it's the person that I saw from my window the night before.

They were just standing there staring at me with hollow eyes that I could not read. Their hands resembled my own. I looked down at my reflection in the water and saw the person I had just been looking at across the river in the water looking back up at me.

My head shot up to look across the river but they were gone. Was I going crazy, then again I did scare a bunch of small ponies in a tree house is that is no shocker.

Something caught my ear, something crunched behind me then a gasp. I spun my head around to see two mares one was a turquoise with a mane of the same color with white streaked through it. The other a yellowish mare with a mane that was pink on one side and blue on the other.

They looked at me in horror. As I began to stand up straight all the while staring at them. They began to walk slowly backwards before Turing 180 degrees and running in a full sprint.

That is when I changed completely my mind was gone and all I could think was hunt, kill and consume.

It all went a blur, it happened so fast. I chased the mares through the forest . They cried for help but none came. The yellow one was falling behind and that is when I saw my chance. I grabbed one of her hind legs and dragged her she let out a defining scream, she kicked and thrashed about. But compared to me she was out matched.

"Pleas let me go, I just want to go home!" She cried but I didn't listen. I opened my mouth saliva creeping from it. "Pleas let me go I just want to be with Lyra! I want to tell her how I feel about her pleas!" She continued to cry.

I cut off the pleads with a sudden bite to her neck instantly blood ran from the wound filling my mouth with it's sweat flavor. The mare gurgled and gasped at the injury, I must have bitten through her wind pipe.

I withdrew my mouth and licked the blood off my lips before drawing my attention to the mares belly. I ran my hand over it until I thrusted my fingers through it tearing in to her stomach to find my target.

The mares pained screams were drowned out by the blood she was gagging on. I peeled her belly open and reached in pulling out what ever I could get a grip on, mainly intestines. I ripped them out of her twitching body and bit in to them. It tasted extraordinary I took bite after bite. I couldn't stop.

The mare by this point stopped making sounds and had stopped moving. I continued to eat what I found appetizing out of the mares body. My hands and the grass had been stained red.

I heard gentle crying from in front of me, I looked up from my meal to see the turquoise mare staring at me her eyes wide with tears rolling down her cheeks I paused for a moment before looking down at the broken mare beneath me.

Then time went back to normal. I reeled back from the dead mare. "What did I do, what is wrong with me!?" All these thought flooded my brain as I looked back at the still crying mare.

"Bonnie I'm sorry, I'm so sorry we should never have come on this walk." She blurted out. She barely noticed me, she was totally fixated on the butchered mare in front of her.

I took this moment to slip away back in to the deeper parts of the forest. Her cries echoed through the forest as the mare I killed pleads echoed in my head. She loved her and I took that away like a monster. Maybe that is what I am a monster.

Even though I had eaten that mares insides a hunger still called out, still waiting to be quenched.
