The cigarette burned my fingers, damn it, how long had I been holding it without taking a drag. The tiny filter slipped from my fingers and sparked briefly as it came to rest on the ground, on the hard pavement outside the apartment complex.
I had been watching the complex for what, two hours now? What did it matter, I filled my lungs with the midnight air and felt enriched by its scent. My prey was close, I could feel it. At the moment the two story apartment was filled with a few lights, reading lights most likely. I closed my eyes and imagined what was going on inside.
She had pulled out a book, and after her evening shower was laying on the bed naked, except for a long flowing terry cloth robe. The book in her hand would be something thick, but popular, something that she had pulled off of the best seller list. Despite what she thought about herself, she was the ideal of a yuppy business woman. Intelligent, independant, lived alone with all of her money.
Maybe, just maybe, as she lay there reading about spies and espionage she would let the book fall to her side, and her eyes would close, the mental images of those tall, dark and handsom spies burning in her mind. She would slowly sink down into the covers, and with one hand she would flip off the bedside lamp, but with the other she had business left to attend. The covers would be warm, the fresh scent of her showered body would dampened them slightly and make them aromatic, filling the room with her musk. With that other hand she would slowly, at first, begin to pleasure herself. It would begin with rubbing, just slightly, as though she were relieveing an itch, but the itch would need to be more than just scratched. Then her body would tense and...
I saw it, the last light flipped off. A quick glance at my watch showed that it was quarter to midnight still, she had stayed up late tonight, probably because it was thursday and she could feel the weekend coming.
Some people have told me that I am psychic, at least slightly, because I can read into the actions of what others do, and often can guess their next move. I was always told as a youth that I should go into business, make lots of money, rub elbows with people like the woman I was about to rape. But that wasn't for me. I was a creature of the night, I was a predator of the innocent, and I could not come out in the daylight.
I have always had an aversion to the day, I could never explain it, but now I can see why. It is my destiny to become like this, I am one of God's predators, preying on the weak and the helpless, one of the shadows in the night that people lock their doors to keep out. Yes, I was in touch with God, at least on some level, I could feel his presence within me, and I could feel how powerful I was at that moment, just before I took their innocence from them.
I grabbed my crowbar and my bag of stuff, and began walking to the darkened apartment. It was a very nice apartment, at the end of a row in the complex, and the nicest model that was offered. It was also secluded, surrounded on three sides by forest, and only sharing one wall with another apartment. Of course, the woman's bedroom was on the opposite side, so that she wouldn't have to deal with the noise of the neighbors.
The apartment also had glass doors which opened onto a patio in the rear, and he had seen that she only locks the hand lock, and does not put in the pin which would make opening the door a lot tougher. I was correct, and only a quick yank with the crowbar and it opened. She also never set the alarm, living in a world that she felt was safe for her to not have to set the alarm. But just in case, as I went through the now opened house I went straight to the luandry area where the circuit breakers were, and flipped them all down. That way there would be no hideous lights to interupt me, and the alarm would not be able to be activiated, since it did not have its own power supply. Now if I guessed it correctly, the alarm company would call within an hour to check on her and make sure that everything was okay, since they actively ping the boxes to see if they are functioning properly. But I knew that they did that for this area only at quarter 'till, and that just came and went. I had an hour to do my work with the prey.
Upstairs a crept, smelling the air become thick with her scent, it filled my lungs and made be become aroused. She wore some sort of expensive perfume, like Chanel 5, or something very sweet and elegant. I took out of the bag a mask, and while standing just outside her door I donned the mask and looked at myself in a hallway mirror.
I am powerful, I am beautiful, I am a GOD. I stand about six and a half feet tall, and have always been blessed with a chiseled body. Lets just say that I am not the person you would want to meet in a dark alleyway. I was wearing a black jumpsuit with combat boots and a black skimask, I looked the part. I am the angel of darkness, swooping down from heaven to take the innocence from society. I rubbed the bulge in my jumpsuit, and felt that it was time.
