Like I said....a true work in progress here, but one I'm excited about!
Another night. Another soul.
Chugging back the last of my
ale, I scanned the dilapidated tavern for my next victim. Or maybe I should call them
my prey, since that’s what I was. A hunter of souls. A destroyer of innocents.
For the millionth time in my long existence, I cursed my demon father.
“That’s no way to speak to a
lady.”
Through my hazy stupor and
incessant self-loathing, I managed to turn my head toward the woman now
standing next to me. Her blazing red hair and dark black eyes locked onto my
gaze with a ferocity matched only by my own. Something dangerous, yet familiar,
trickled off her like an electrical charge ready to ignite. Had I not had so
much to drink, she would have scorched me with one look.
She leaned in close enough to
rub her ample breasts against my shoulder. I couldn’t help but stare. “You
might want to tone down the eyes,” she said and then winked. “You’re going to
scare them away before you have a chance to pounce.”
