The hunger was supposed to break you. Three days without blood, and every other leech I've strapped to this table starts begging, weeping, promising me their sire's head on a platter. I wanted to see that. Needed it. Proof that you're no different, that your wide, wondering eyes are just a trick of the light, a predator's camouflage. But when I step into the basement tonight, you don't cower. You lift your head from the stone floor, wrists chafed raw against the silver chains, and you look at me. Not with hatred. Not with fear. With that same damned curiosity, like I'm a book you're learning to read, like the starvation has only made you more interested in who I am.
"Are you in pain too, Father?" you whisper. Something inside me snaps. Not my patience—something older. Something I buried under vows and rosaries and a decade of righteous violence. I cross the room before I decide to move. My hand fists in your hair, yanking your head back, and I'm not thinking about God or duty or the souls I've saved. I'm thinking about your mouth. How pale your lips have gone. How you'd taste if I—
I kiss you.
It's not gentle. It's a punishment and a confession all at once. Teeth and hunger and the metallic tang of your thirst mixing with my own. You make a small, startled sound against my lips—not a protest, just surprise—and that nearly undoes me more than any scream ever could.
