Ch1: Who?
The sky was crammed with the dark clouds of the storm. The moist cool wind was whacking the trees, the branches of the trees were dancing with the numb wind. A man in a black shirt with jeans was standing at a cliff of a high mountain.
His dark brown silky strands humming with the cold air, his sharp eyes darted on a beautiful woman.
She was hicking in the forest a mile away from there... A smirk was playing on the man's face. It's his favourite weather when the dark rises over the sun. He inhaled the smell of storm, wind, forest and soil.
But the most intoxicating scent for him was the blood of a beautiful woman. The eyes of the man that were dark brown with the gold lines in them slightly changed their colour to the shade of red. His pointed nose, his sharp jaw with a little beard growing, a scar was visible at his left side arched eyebrow. He was so calm standing there just watching the woman hiking up and up. He can hear her beating heart, the blood running in her veins, the smell of her sweat and the light mist she was wearing at this time... A continuous smirk was playing on his full lips, the sun that was playing hide and seek with the dark clouds was a bit annoying. His eyes diverted a bit to his hand.
It felt as the air was moving with his motions. His eyes remedied on a ring in one of his fingers, the golden ring has a green stone carved in it.
His eyes remained on his hand for a second then he diverted his attention on the woman.
He is wearing his favourite colour, two buttons of his shirt were open, he gulped... His Adam apple bobbed in his throat, he smiled when the woman took a deep breath.
It's the weather for his hunt, tonight someone will fall in his charms, it's time for his charisma to work on someone... The one who will give him the feed of life, the sweet smell of blood was so intoxicating for him.
He started moving from the cliff at a speed that was not possible for a normal human. In a second he was standing with one of the tree trunks in the forest, the woman was not reached yet there. He waiting there for her, he was standing with a tree whistling.
The woman reached closer when she heard the sound of the whistle, the woman came ahead.
She saw a very handsome and hot man standing in the middle of the forest by side of a tree. He was whistling but it abruptly stopped when his eyes landed on the woman.
"Hello, there..." The woman said with a beautiful smile. That's it, his trick worked. He greeted her with a beautiful smile.
"Hello, beautiful!" He said. He was watching her very carefully, she was wearing a tracksuit.
Due to the continued climbing... She was breathing heavily. His eyes wander on her face, he gasped smelling the fresh blood running in her veins.
His eyes stopped on the woman eyes.
The woman is in her thirties, she is very beautiful! Her blonde hair, milk-like skin, her full pink lips with a round beautiful face. He likes the effect of climbing on her, her cheeks were plumping red.
The woman was watching the man with l**t in her eyes. He was also checking her out like she is so important to him.
"Ahm, Done checking me out?" She said then giggled.
He bit his bottom lip, the usual smirk playing on his lips, it suits him so well, he turned his hand on one side.
"It is a very dangerous area with so many wild animals. I also heard that monsters lurk here... What are you doing here on this track at this time?" He asked the woman.
The woman standing in front of him went blank as she didn't know, what she is doing here! A look of worry came upon the woman's face.
"I... I don't know. I usually don't go hiking like this at this hour, I..." The woman was so confused. What she is doing here? He smirked again looking at her co fused expressions.
"I think this is not our first meeting, We meet earlier some time ago at your house. Don't you remember?" He said in his deep voice. The shade of red again glint in his eyes then went away like a breaking star.
"I don't know, I don't think so, I want to go back home. As you said, it's not safe here at this hour." She said. The woman gulped, she was looking so scared.
A few drops of sweat appeared on her forehead.
"Ah, I don't think you can go back from here, people came here with their wish, but they can not go back from this place without my permission." He was now watching the woman directly in her eyes. A little sensation run in her body.
A splash of memories came back for the woman when he said some unhearable words in his mouth. His eyes entirely turned red with the golden lines in them.
The woman now gawking at the man, she was shaking like a leaf on the mercy of the wind. The sweat formed on her forehead like beads.
"Please as e, let mee go. I. . . have to g...go my dauggg... .ter will be waiting for me at home. You can not do this to me." She stuttered.
She begged him. The tears forming in her eyes, her voice trembling with fear, her words come out like a dilemma.
He smirked, A devilish smile appeared on his face. He loves this feeling when someone begs him for their life and his fear covers his victim's body.
It's the best emotion, he saw the woman's tracksuit zip covered her neck, he moved his hand.
He slipped his fingers on the neck of the woman then start unzipping the zipper of her tracksuit. The woman was at his mercy, she remembered that the devil summons her for his feed, she remembered him possessing her when he first bit her to drink from her body.
Now, she is here in this forest, she is a human. But she can feel his powerful aura surrounding her, she is unable to move from there, it felt like an unseen power was stopping her from running, her heartbeat went faster when his fingers traced on her neck.
His eyes stopped on her bare skin, there was a mark of two canines. It's his mark, she is his prey. He can not let his scapegoat go away like that, till he completes his thirst. Till he drinks the last drop of blood from her body. He moved closer to her neck, he whispered in her ear.
"Don't worry, I will be very gentle, It will not hurt you, you will not feel any pain." He said. The words struck the woman like thunder. In an instant he ripped the skin of her neck with his elongated canines, the woman was sobbing and shaking. She struggled to move away from him but of no use, he gripped her neck from the back, his thirst was going away slowly as the blood of her body freshened him up. His eyes were pure red, the monster inside him was soliciting him to rip the head of the woman.
But, the human part of him was controlling him not to do it, but as always... The battle was won by his monster side, he finished his work. The dead body of the woman was lying on the floor, he cleared the drops of blood from his lips with his shirt sleeve.
He glared at the dead body near his feet. He moved his hand in his pocket then took out a cigar and a lighter. He lit the cigar and start smoking it. The smoke of the cigar was rendering the haze near him, he then whistled loud.
In a matter of a second, a man was standing beside him.
"Clear the trails from here, I don't want any proof. Also, send a handful of money and a note to the family. You know, what to write in the note." He ordered the man. In the blink of an eye, he vanished from there, it felt like he was never there before.
(In the village)
The same man came to a village-like area, his long strides were proof that he was in a hurry. It was a very old village in the heart of the forest. The strange thing was that there were only women in that village. There were so many women there, some old, some very old, some in their sixties and seventies, they were going around here and there. Some women chanting spells, the smell of the herbs, and so many cauldrons hanging on the trees. The candles lighting all over the place, the sound of continuous chanting was strangely odd. There were not any other men present in there.
He starts walking towards an old house, his every step firm. He was moving very deep in the village finding an old hut, he stopped.
"You may come in," A voice came from inside. He stepped inside the hut. A very old woman was in there, all her hairs were white, with so many wrinkles on her face, her hands were shaking. She looks towards the figure standing in front of her...
"What do you want? Why are you here at this hour?" The woman asked him? As she knew he never came at the wrong time.
"Old woman, I think your charms and stones are not working for me. Your spells are now old like you. Old and expired, the sun rays were very annoying. Do something and make this ring work, I don't have much time." He said in a very annoyed tone to the lady sitting in her seat. He took off the ring from his hand dropped it in front of the old witch.
"I will fix your ring till dawn, son. You can go now..." The woman said to the man. He moved out of the hut then disappeared into the shadows of the deep forest.
