A woman’s scream shatters the night and I take off running.
Not away from the sound. Towards it. All I can hope is that something
startled her, but the knot in my stomach tells me that’s not it.
There’s a difference between screaming at a quick scare and screaming
because you’re terrified for your life.
As I run, I shake my backpack off one shoulder and swing it around so I
can tug at the zips. The woman screams again. This time, the sound is
tinged with a sob, and I speed up.
If I’m lucky, it’ll be nothing. Not nothing to her, of course, but maybe
some drunk guy who thinks if he harasses her, she’ll follow him home.
I’m never that lucky.
I skid to a halt at the corner and make out the shape of two figures under
a railway bridge. My fingers finally land on what I’m seeking, and I hiss in
triumph through my teeth.
She’s still on her feet, thank fuck, though wobbling precariously in a pair
of high heels. It’s Saturday night, a cold one for October, which I guess is
why she decided to chance a shortcut instead of sticking to the better-lit
streets. I don’t know if that would have helped, anyway.
The vampire’s stalking her.
I pull the stake out and slip the backpack back onto my shoulders silently.
My upper lip curls in a snarl as I edge closer, keeping to the shadows. It’s
easy to stay hidden when a vampire is so fixated on its prey.
And a vampire he certainly is. I can tell from here. Freshly turned, like
every single one I’ve stumbled upon over the last few weeks. He’s moving
slower than me, sure that she won’t escape. Even if she could sprint away
without injuring herself—and who knows, maybe she could—she still can’t
outrun a vampire.
They’re inhumanly fast. Faster than just about anything else that exists.
The vampire cocks his head to one side. Lank hair falls across his eyes
and he doesn’t push it away. In the dark, his eyes glow, the anticipation of
gorging getting the better of him.
“Please,” she says, and the word only trembles a little. “Please, I don’t
even know you…”
The vampire snorts. He takes a slow, deliberate step forward and never
looks away from her face. “You don’t need to know me,” he retorts.
He slurs his words, either because of bloodlust or the brand-new fangs in
his mouth. I don’t really care which. I weigh the stake in my hand. It feels
disturbingly right, and I push the thought aside as I move a little closer.
Ducked behind a fence, I think I should be able to get between her and
the vampire. He’s got no idea I’m here, too focused on how she’s stumbling
back, eyes flicking between his intense stare and the empty road ahead of
her.
