Chapter 2 Nightfall arrived once again and Darius was on the prowl for more blood. This time he devised a plan to watch and wait in a place where lonely strangers walk during the night hours. The park. The most convenient place to find an unaware victim. He waited until midnight to find that unaware victim and snatch them up at the right time. From a tall oak tree he hung upside down like a bat observing everything. He made sure that he was hidden, or camouflaged well with the tree. The only lights that were lit were the dim street lights it had been dark, but no matter Darius saw and heard everything. The smell of exhaust from a car aroused his senses, and in the distance he could hear a car approaching. The car came to a stop right in front of the park. The windows of the black car were tinted, and now he heard voices as the windows were slowly being rolled down. He heard two male voices and one female voice. gFine be that way I can walk home stupid prick!h A medium framed brunette with fair skinned wearing tight jeans and a red blouse slammed the car doors. From the looks of it, she appeared to be angry with the two men. The car sped off into the distance leaving her behind in the dust. Darius heard her gripe and moan but he didnft particularly care to know what she was angry about. At the moment it was the right time for a kill. Her high heels tapped against the concrete as she started to walk wherever she was headed. Darius vanished from the spot where he waited at the tree. With precise stealth he moved like a snake ready to bite ites prey. The closer he moved in, he could smell the faintness of her perfume. Thatfs how he knew when to strike at the right moment. Darius, had been too focus on his prey and not the objects ahead of him. A small rock on the sidewalk back-fired his silent kill. He had to be clever to pull it off this time. The young brunette turned to see where the source of the noise came from. Thatfs when she saw him, all dressed in black standing towering feet high. gHey buddy you want trouble? You fucking want some trouble?h Darius, was already enjoying this kill. <I>eFeistyf</I> He thought to himself with a naughty grin set on his face. gNo milady but, there is no need for such a beautiful being to walk home by herself. Am I correct?h Darius raised an eyebrow staring into the dark brunettefs brown eyes. The two of them stood still, as she stared into his dark emerald green eyes. She felt herself stiffen up under his captivating stare. Darius knew his dark charm was actually working. Stepping forward cautiously he took hold of her hand, as if he were guiding her on the right direction. gPlease I am not a threat, I would gladly just walk you at the end of the street to make sure you are alright.h The young brunette gave him a nod of agreement, then they continued walking. gSo who are you? You got a name?h She curiously inquired, even though he was a stranger. gDarius.h His response was seductive in tone, and he gave her a toothy smile. gMy name is Rosa.h Without him asking, she introduced her name to him. gVery pretty name. Why did they dump you out here.h Closer Darius moved closing the walking space in between them. Rosa was too focused on his eyes, and mannerism rather than her personal space. gI told them I needed a ride, so they wanted exchange for some services. I told them I wasnft like that those jerks!h Rosa stop talking seeing that they were at the end of the street. She turned to thank him, but Darius had vanished. =============================================================== The warm water, from the shower sprayed against her smooth bare skin. She felt good being home, and being able to relax and take time out from all the stress. A hot shower is all she needed to feel good. She closed her eyes enjoying the hot water beat against her skin. Her hair was drenched soaking wet, and hung low down her back. She let out a deep sigh of relief, then proceeded to lather herself up with soap. She reached over to the soap dish, and to her surprise it wasnft there. Rosa knew she wasnft insane she just bought a new bar of soap, and put it there this morning. Turning off the water she stepped from the steaming shower to retrieve soap from the bathroom cabinet. She stood over the sink opening the mirrored cabinet door and getting a fresh bar of soap. The wet brunette shivered, as a deep chill passed through her skin. Tiny goose bumps were rising up and down her arms. Frantically she looked around when she saw a shadowy figure from the corner of her eye. Nothing. Nobody was there. She returned back to the shower closing the shower doors. Once again she turned on the shower, and rubbed the soap in her hands. Her hands were lathered up with creamy soap she smeared all over her face washing off the make-up. The water suddenly stopped it slowly dripped from the shower head. <I>eWhat the hell is wrong with the water around here?f</I> Blinded by soap, and having to panic she reached over feeling her way around to turn it back on. Before her hand could reach for it, the water suddenly showered her as if someone turned it on for her. The water felt below freezing, chilling her skin causing her nipples to grow hard. The soap had been rinsed from her face, and her vision was back to normal. Rosa faced the shower doors, to exit them but she couldnft. Her heart stopped in her chest and she stiffened in fear seeing the tall dark figure in front of her. His grip tightened around her arm, and she let out an ear ringing scream. Darius cupped her mouth with one hand and held onto to her dragging her from the shower. She flailed, kicked, screamed, and struggled under his powerful forceful hands. He held on tighter to her naked wet body because she was slipping from his grip. With a forceful push she landed onto the carpeted floor of her bedroom. Nude, frightened, and hurt Rosa was on the floor scooting backwards trying to stand up to escape him. His eyes grew furiously red, and his sharp fangs protruded from the top of his gums. They were getting longer, hungry for penetration. Rosa whimpered backing herself into a corner closing her eyes wishing him away. Everytime she would open them he would still be there advancing towards her. Darius violently targeted his fangs for her soft exposed neck. He held onto her to keep her calm and still. She gasped feeling the sharp pain hit every nerve in her skin. Blood trickled down onto her shoulders and chest. Darius slurped drinking every drop of her sweet blood that ran through her veins. She stopped squirming after his last sip. Satisfying his blood lust, he wipe the corners of his mouth where her blood left a mess. Rosafs body went limp falling over in the corner. gToo bad, if you would have calmed down I would have made love to you.h Darius whispered to himself. He looked around for an escape, to leave her home. There was a window draped in dark brown curtains. Darius opened it quickly, and leaped from it soaring into the night sky. This time he searched for more willing, wanting prey.
