A woman stands alone on the street; she knows He is out there. Waiting for her, watching her. She shivers with fear and excitement, knowing He will strike soon. She hurries her pace, trying to get away but not wanting too.
Suddenly a noise in the shadows distracts her. It's only a cat, as she turns He stands before her. Quickly He has her by the throat, turning her before Him. "you are Mine," she almost hears in her mind.
She is lifted into the air, landing hard upon his shoulder. They are moving faster than she thought possible; she knows it must be His madness driving him to such risks. To actually appear in the open even at night, He must want her.
Now in darkness she feels herself tied, though not unpleasant to her, she knows she will not escape this time. Rope bites into her skin at ankle and wrist, but now it is around her throat also. "No escape for you this time." Hisses between his teeth. Suddenly a knife seems to appear from nowhere, to bite the skin of her throat.
She realizes now that this is no game; He will have her even if it means her death. She feels the ropes tighten, and the warm trickle of her own blood on her naked skin as she is lifted into the air. Now she realizes why the rope is around her throat, as it tightens little by little slowly cutting off the air from her lungs. Bright lights come on and she sees Him standing before her, a faint maniac smile crosses his lips.
She sees she is a position she can never escape, her fear rises clouding her already darkening thoughts. She looks around from her hanging position seeing the others hung in much the same way she is, some already dead, others looking as if they are about to die.
Wondering why He hunts them, but she already knows it is the Law. Over the centuries, He and his kind have always hunted her kind. Taken then to the House, hung them from the rafters to die a bloody painful death. It is the way of this world. She smiles at what is to come.
Staring from across the room, He sees her smile. His own faltering for but a moment, then he springs to the ropes above her. It is time. Slowly He pulls her up into the loft; every thing has been made ready. She will not escape Him this time; this one is fast, and slippery.
Laying her out on the floor, He cuts her loose from the ropes. Holding her tightly by the throat He brings her to the table. Still covered with the remains of the last to lay there. With the sweep of a powerful arm the remains are swept away onto the floor.
Binding her hand and foot with fast easy movements, He knows she will not escape as she did before. Now she is almost ready.
She knows what will happen now. She is prepared for it. No escape this time. She relaxes and awaits her fate at His hand. He is coming back so she plays to be unconscious for she will not be able to later.
