She woke. She hunted. She fed. She slept.
That was it. That was her existence on this world.
It was boring...dull. In the beginning, when she was first turned it was enough. She was so much more than her old self, the possibilities seemed endless. They weren't.
After living as a vampire for a few years and tiring of the same old routine she had discovered the fine art of torturing her victims before she fed.
She was so vicious when it came to inflecting pain on those that she wanted, that she soon was well known among the vampire population, and was often compared to another vampire, although she never learned his name.
Unfortunately though, with recondition came risk. Many vampires tried to kill the great Red, hoping to make a name for themselves by killing her.
They failed.
And Willow took great pleasure in showing those who dared try why she had such a reputation.
But over time even that stopped. Vampires and demons knew better than to cross her. And there was only so many times you could play with your food before eating till that became the nom...boring.
And so she was empty again, left hollow and vacant.
She wished she could find someone...someone like herself who shared the same interests and likes as herself. Unfortunately everyone she had seen nowhere lived up to her standards.
She briefly wondered about the vampire everyone compared her too, but every time she went up to a vampire to find out his name they normally ended up destroying themselves before she even spoke, in fear of what she might do to them.
She knew that the chances of finding this mysterious vampire were slim though, that she would probably never find him.
And so she went back to what she knew best.
She woke. She hunted. She fed. She slept.
But deep down inside she knew she'd find him.
She had a gut feeling.
The End
