.::Ethan::.
To human ears the silence of night was almost defening. The frightened red hed sat slumped quietly next to a dupmster, shaking violently and trying hard not to breathe. No matter, he could smell her fear. Ethan slunk through the shadows of the dark alley, walking with an arogance Narcisis himself couldn't have duplicated. His lips turned a bit at one side, his cocky grin visable as he broke into the illumination of a nearby streetlight.
He strolled past the dumpster nonchalantly, pay no attention to his prey who had to try with all of her might not to scream. She clenched her knees tightly to her chest, making the buckle on her stiletto heels send out one small clicking sound.
Ethan turned slowly, facing her and smiling a light warm hearted smile. The girl buried her face in her knees, but looked up once more as he came closer. His eyes locked with her and he began speaking in a calm, almost seductive tone. "Arise, I won't hurt you. You are safe with me." she made the mistake of meeting his eyes and was instantly secured by his trance. She slowly made her way to her feet and shyly crossed her arms over her chest.
"See? Everything will be okay. You're safe with me." he echoed, closing the gap between the two of them. He stood only a foot away, close enough for him to hear her blood flowing quickly through her veins.
"Now come to me." he added in a sing songy voice, holding his arms out wide and taking her into a cool, gentle embrace. "See? Everything's fine." she nodded in response and put her head on his chest. At that moment he leaned in, began kissing her neck, then began his nightly feast.
He let out a quiet moan and went limp in his arms, but he caught her and held her firmly. When he was done he let her lifeless body crumple to the ground and wiped his mouth of any excess blood. He grinned a bit and stepped over her, leaving her lifeless body alone in the alley.
