I stood towards the back of the church, just within the frame of the large double doors. It was cold outside, a faint draft seeping in through the cracks in the wood. I could have just gone in and sat down, anywhere among the crowd sitting in the pews, but I didn't want to upset anyone. Besides...who'd really want to see the face of the woman who killed their loved one. In a church of all places.
The ceremony was almost done. If the time on my watch was correct an hour had passed already. Damn, were funerals always this long or had it really been that long since the last time I went to one?
I shifted my position, pulling the collar of my coat a little closer for warmth. If someone had walked in through the doors at that very moment they probably would have thought I was crying or mourning...or something stupid like that. The fact was, I was willing to freeze my butt off just for the sake of making sure this corpse stayed dead. In life, well...not really life, but before I "really" killed it it had been a ravaging vampire, a weaker species of a more deluted blood. Unlike me, a pure immortal, my job was to get rid of them. Well, actually, this asshole tried to kill me and since he was a vampire it ended up being a win win situation. Too bad his folks didn't know what he really was.
The ceremony came to an end all of a sudden. Everyone in the room stood, the sound of bodies moving together in a soft hush. That was my signal. I pushed away from the frame, gently as to not disturb the bandages around my ribs. It still hurt. The vampire asshole tried to rip out my ribs before I shoved a sword through his stomach. It was a close call, but I still won.
I chuckled softly to myself as I turned to leave, but a high pitched scream from behind sent me spinning away from the exit. Down the aisle I could see the lid of the coffin smashed into pieces, the torso of the vampire's body sitting up. It roared wordlessly into the frightened crowd, hoisting itself up and out of the box. The people were running, like animals they scattered in every direction, lost and confused. I sighed and did a final check of the bandages, then began to walk towards the immortal beast. Will this shit ever end? I pulled the .9mm out of the inside of my jacket, not really comfortable with the gun, but yeah.....I left the sword at home. I walked further into the mess and smiled softly to myself. My life at it's best.

Like a breath on winter's wind,
a whisper through the night.
A trembling star on morning's edge,
the faint flutter of wings into flight.

Like a breeze upon the summer sand,
the echo of life within the woods.
A linger of fingertips soft on skin,
the vacant place where I once stood.

A memory is all that stands there now.
Shadows fade into the past.
A swirl of fog hangs heavy and thick.
The silence is all that lasts....

Hey friends!! Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Believe me when I say I am not dead. I am alive and ready to take on the world. LOL! So, anyways....It is my Birthday!! I guess that's one reason to be happy. I got some good gifts and stuff, had no work to hold me down. The weather is even great too. Oh, I've also been working on multiple drawings by the way so there should be a few going up in a week or so. I have been really bad with keeping up with things. Sorry guys. Hopefully they are up to your likings and don't seem too half done. I might even fix some of the ones I have claimed to be done just so they come out extra cool. Alright, I'm off to celebrate being 21!! Wish me luck!!

So, guys.....there is a reason why I have not posted anything in a while even though I said I would. I am such a bad person..... shame on me. Truth is though I have an addiction. Yes! A very intense addiction involving......Ouran High School Host Club!!!!!!! WAAAAHHHHH!!!! I have been spending money like wild fire for the past two weeks buying each manga and reading them like super-duper fast. When I'm not reading I'm thinking about it, dreaming about it, having nightmares over the next volume when I have yet to buy it. I have also been visiting Funimation. com constantly for any info on when the anime is coming to America. All the info I have is that it is and it's gonna be sometime in 2008. Damn it!!! I can't wait that long!!! It needs to come out NOW!!! So, to control myself I am probably going to be posting some fanart from the Host Club in the near future along with the other pieces I have yet to post. Alright....talking about Ouran High has made me feel inspired. Now I am going to go read the next volume....

So, I started thinking. Last night my brother and I had a long chat at dinner about what stories we've been working on and how far we've gotten into them and as he was telling me stuff about his I couldn't help, but start thinking. His story sounded so well thought out and detailed that I began to have some ideas of my own. I am hoping to redo an old story of mine that I began 6 years ago. For all those who've read the outdated version you'll be happy to know that the new version of...."Elf Tales" will be up and ready to read soon. I'm not exactly sure when it'll be up, considering I have to pretty much rewrite the whole thing, but it will be up.....I promise.
