Humanity, what makes someone human? Is it empathy, the ability to determine right from wrong, a pulse? I don't remember being human; I left the world of mortals many centuries ago. It's nothing but a distant memory now that I don't waste time remembering.

My theater, Théâtre de la Mort, and my coven are my life now. Here I am the law, the leader...God. For centuries we have lived here, out in the open amongst stupid humans who come weekly for our performances, unaware of the carnage they are watching onstage is real.

You see, it's so convenient when your meal willingly comes to you, seeking their chance to star center stage, basking in the brilliant glow of the stage lights. So out we go every month searching for talent. My coven members bring them back like willing sheep, each unaware of the slaughter to come.

So, tonight is the performance, the house is packed, the show sold out. The audience sits on the edge of their seats, the climax of the play on the verge of erupting. The atmosphere is still, as all is in place. I look around at my fellow vampires and give the cue...anytime now.

I step up beside you, you look so beautiful standing in the warm glow of the overhead lights-almost angelic. I press up against you, my mouth pressed to your ear, my nails digging into your arm. 'Chut petit agneau, le loup a besoin de se nourrir.' I purr into your ear in my velvety French accent. I feel your heartbeat quicken, and my fangs extend as I whisper, 'This is the part where you pray.'
