I was leaning against a tree in the forest not far from the little used walking trail that I had decided to stalk out today, who knew what or who would come walking down it. I had slipped into a lite doze as the sunlight dappled my skin when my senses came to life. There was an enticing scent that wafted in on the easy breeze, and it carried an exciting aroma to me. Getting up I walk towards the beautiful smell, my foot falls making little noise on the carpet of leaves and twigs. The smell became stronger, and I now could discern that there was 2 of them, both were sweet and fresh.
'Yessss!' I hissed to myself. 'Fresh, young, meat.' I morphed into a younger man dressed in comfy but trendy looking clothes and stepped onto the trail. Withing 5 minutes I could hear them and then see my prey. 1 was a tall blonde the other was short and Asian, it had been many years sense I'd had any pure Asian. They just had an entirely different flavor about them.
I listened and they were talking about some guys in their classes which told me they were from the local collage and were probably members of a sorority. Jack Pot, loads and loads of fresh meat and young energy for me, I really did need this after nearly 1500 years on your planet.
My name is unpronounceable by the human mouth and in reality, I'd kind of forgotten it. I just called myself John now and let it go at that. It used to be so much easier for me to move around, but with the modern digital age it was definitely becoming harder and harder. Then there were the hunters, a bunch of do-good humans who thought that those like me were monsters and had to be destroyed. For over 1200 years I have evaded them and taken only those I needed to survive.
There is something about you humans that allows those of my race to live longer lives. I really didn't know what it was as all my scientific equipment had been destroyed long ago during one of your many wars. I've acquired some equipment here lately and started to look into this yet again. I've also just finished setting up the communications gear that I need in order to contact the carrier ship that lays outside your Oort cloud on a specific frequency. You humans have just recently gotten around to making transmitters capable of hitting them.
I walked up behind then and heard the Asian gal call the blonde Becky and I smiled at that kind of information. Not that it doesn't take me long once I take them to find out anything I want. The smells coming off them was divine and I just couldn't wait to taste them both, I walked just a touch faster and quickly caught up to them, the closer I got the stronger and more enticing their aroma became.
