User:Life's POV

I watch from the shadows as I stalk my prey, in the wild, feral, life that I choose. The girl's frantic now, eyes searching, ever searching, for a way out of the haunted nightmare she chooses to endure. I laugh, is she seriously trying to escape the huntress! No one can escape being mine.

I watch for the eyes, the glowing green eyes, as I let my own roam, searching for a way out of this desperate nightmare. I don't know why I come each night, let myself come to be hunted anymore. But I do, chasing the half truths she dangles in front of me, struggling to reach the end of this promised terror. I spot the eyes appear and run. I'm not sure I want the gift tonight.

I watch her run, she's spotted me. The beacon of my glowing green eyes is hard to ignore, and it's all she can see anymore. For I'm one with the shadows of the night, and I revel the darkness within. They are my new domain, they protect everything but my eyes. The eyes that spot my fleeing prey.

I watch the eyes as I run, ever fleeing, in this endless game of cat and mouse. I'm the mouse it seems. The sun will be rising soon, ending her fun, ending her game. She never lets it go further than the night lasts. Always landing her swift blow as the sun begins to rise. Always, giving me the gift in return. The gift, that I play for.

I watch, waiting, she knows it's coming soon. I run too, singing the song that would haunt her till the next morning. "I am always watching, waiting, singing my song. You have no choice, but to play along. With that promise, I'll give my next gift. Though in more ways than one they, cause rifts." With that I leaped down in front of her, let her see my piercing white grin, glowing white fangs, biting down on her arm. Taking my due.

I watched the hunter run away as I collapsed, her words echoing in my mind. The arm hurt, yes, but it always did. That was how her power worked. She was a black cat in human form, and she needed to drain my luck away, if only for a second, in order for her luck, her truth, to take hold. I sighed, and let her eyes drain my world away.

I watched the girl, she collapsed, as always, accepting fate. It was curious, how she came every night, to my domain, knowing that she would get her due, yes. But would have to be hurt in order to receive it, play my game all night long, to receive the next piece in her puzzle. She was fine by the time she woke of course, the injury disappeared, like tonight never happened, I would never do something that would leave long withstanding damage. But she got her gift for a price. Sometimes the gift wasn't even given to her! It was given to her family, her friends. She never seemed to mind.

I watched through blurry eyes as the sun began to rise, I wasn't all the way asleep yet. I watched as the hunter leaned down and picked me up, slowly making her way to the school at the edge of the woods. The school of which my dorm resided. I watched her black cat ears disappear in morning light, her wild black hair turn into a straight, soft hazelnut brown, and her eyes turn from green to blue, her black cat tail disappearing completely as she left the shadows. As my mind slipped away, my thoughts dissolving into dreams there was only my thought in my mind, 'Dawn'.
