My cold stare seared through the people that passed me on the street. They were so clueless, so in the dark about what I was. They walked around aimlessly, unknowing of the predator in their midst.

A smirk pulled at my lips as I tucked my hands in the pockets of my jacket. I got what I wanted, when I wanted it and there was no acception. 

I snapped out of my thoughts as another body crashed into mine. The woman hit the ground with a slight thud. She sat there, staring up at me with wide brown eyes. Her hair matched her eyes, long and curly but still looking like silk. 

She was beautiful and I was hungry. 

I offered her my hand, my eyes following her timid movements. The woman took it, her warm hand fitting into my colder one.

I brushed her chocolate hair from her eyes and she slowly opened them to look directly into mine. Her expression was emotionless as she stared into my deep crimson depths. She knew what was going to happen to her.

"What is your name?" I suddenly asked on a whim, even I was slightly surprised with the light question.
