"What was I thinking? What was I doing? I knew what my next course of action would be, what it had to be, and it was horrifying. A tiny portion of sanity fought to stop me. But the rest of my mind was no longer in my control. A few more moments and I came upon a small tent with a smoldering fire out front, two adults sleeping inside. Nobody else was in sight or hearing.

It all happened very quickly. In less than a second I was the only one in the tent breathing. The tiny portion of sanity in the corner of my mind was nowhere near strong enough to stop me from quenching my thirst.

It wasn't until after I was finished – my scorching need faded but not completely satisfied – that I fully comprehended what I had done. Though I still didn't know who I was, I now knew what I was.

I felt sick at the thought."
