I Was Afraid
I saw them make their entry, and I was afraid.
I saw the glisten of their skin, the beady look in their eyes, and I was afraid.
I saw what they did to that poor child, I heard her screams, and I was afraid.
I saw them turn on me, and I was terribly afraid.
I saw them rush towards me on a wave of power, and I was afraid.
I saw them close the distance between us, and I was afraid.
I saw the distance dissappear, saw the blood, and I was afraid.
Then I saw her, my angel, and I was no longer afraid.

Kinda sounds like a bank robbery or something, where the men have weapons and are a little trigger happy.
I am probably wrong. But hey, I tried.
I agree with wellington...however, let me say that I think it was really good despite being semi-repetitive. I came up with a few different scenerios that flashed through my mind throughout it, too...
Vampire attack (glistening skin, vamps are pale =) )
Randomly kidnapped with a random little girl...and then murdered
Simply murdered with a random little girl
Other mythological creatures besides vampires (if you can't tell, I like fantasy).
Um...I think that's it. good job =) Keep writing!
KAL!
As with everything you write, I love it!
Keep writing til you can't anymore, then pick up your pen and write some more!

Very interesting! As always, not many words but big impact. What comes to mind when reading this is demons and cancer and domestic violence. Yeah I know weird mix. But anyway great job!
Also could you look at some of my work? I have new stuff out and would love your input. Thanks!
