Silent Hymn

qui bene cantat bis orat : he who sings well praises twice

Prompt
Your frenzies terrify even yourself. Do you learn to control them or instead choose to embrace this horror? Kill a mortal Character if there is one, or create a Mark if not.

I took shelter in a Church -- it was the only building that look strong enough to be trusted. When the worshippers arrived, I was able to disappear into the shadows -- but when they began to sing...
The rage overtook me, a wild frenzy, not so much a person as a cornered beast. I tore through the congregation -- when I finished, they were silent, and I felt sated for the first time in years. But their screams called too much attention, and I nearly burned trying to escape while the sun was still up. Too close. I need to control these frenzies.
I've realized that if I eat more frequently, before the hunger strikes, I maintain more control.
At the same time, I realised I cannot stand the sound of music. As though sensing this, the birds have stopped singing when I am near.
