She walks alone through the dark streets.
The nervous pattering of her feet quickens almost to a run, matching what will be the final beats of her fluttering heart.
A shadow cannot chase you, surely.
A shadow is simply the absence of light.
She knows her fear was irrational. That it is childish, foolish, to let the dark strike such a fear with her.
She's wrong.
A shadow is just a shadow, yes.
And it's true there was no shadow chasing her, there's something far, far worse.
As her footsteps quicken, the pursuer ups his pace and grew closer. She catches a scent of some rich, enticing fragrance and lets herself rest for a second.
A second is all it takes for a hand to wrap around her throat. A pair of soft and dominating lips to silence a scream, to surprise and distract her.
A distraction gives enough time for a pair of razor sharp fangs to slice open a full, red lip. To travel over to a pale, innocent white neck.
A second and a distraction is all it takes to kill.
