Bestial

I hear crashing
Along with flashing.
Dark crimson everywhere.
I start to stare,
What happened here?

One more dare,
I don’t really care.
This will be easy,
Nobody can stop me.
But still, what’s the crimson?

I sneak up the stairs,
Fear raises my hair.
Lightning and thunder
Will just keep up their blunder
Too dark to see clear.

Creaks with every step,
Seeing every breath.
Open a door,
Looking at the floor.
Some scarlet paw prints.

I look up and freeze,
Feeling now a breeze.
Gleaming green eyes,
They seem to sever mental ties.
Inwardly, I shiver.

Matted dark fur,
Now it’s a blur.
Long sharp claws,
Along with gaping maws.
Something pierces my throat.

Ripping and slashing,
I begin thrashing.
Blood drips down my neck,
A snarl as it wrecks.
Claws dig at my stomach.

With a scream, I sit up in bed.
I sob and shiver, though I’m covered in sweat.
My vision is blurry,
I awoke in a hurry.
My hand comes up and touches my neck.

The tips of my fingers come away red,
With a start I see I’ve bled.
I look at the window,
Curtains fluttering in the wind.
The beast has fed.
