Jared shrugged and turned back to his quarry. After all, if his desires over came his common sense he could always find her again. He leaped from the building with the grace of a wild cat and landed silently in the alley that the slayer had left minutes before. The mixed sent of her sent was still there if only barley but he was a good enough stalker to find her though it would be a long process finding her trail in this crowd.
Alice walked into her empty apartment checked her messages and flopped down onto the couch. She was dead tired, not so much because of any physical reason but because of the strain on her nerves from tracking a vampire. She only had two massages, one from her some times associate mat and the other was from her ex boy friend. Though she was attractive and smart she could never hold a relationship together for long due to her work. She turned the T.V on and got up to defrost a microwave dinner. As she entered the kitchen though she thought she saw a shadow. Opening a window she peered out but saw nothing. She wasn’t too worried because there was only an hour left of darkness at the most and any vampire with a brain would be finding their burrows right now.
If Jared still breathed he would have let out a sigh. He had almost let his confidence get him caught and if she were suspicious he wouldn’t be able to lay a mind web on her. Though most vampires could create mind webs few could do it with Jared’s skill. Mind webs couldn’t control some one but they could lull some one into a false sense of security or influence their judgment, which was just what he planed on doing to dear Alice. Jared moved across the wall of the flat like a giant spider until he could see Alice though the window. As she sat watching TV he couldn’t help but once again take note of her beauty. She was tall brown haired and with a frame that he could only describe as perfect. She was muscular but not so much that it took away from her feminine beauty and she had (though Jared tried not to dwell on such things too much) a pair of breasts that would have made any mortal mans heart flutter. Her face was delicate with a slightly pointed nose that made her face unique and even more amazing for the imperfection. He had met and seduced many beautiful women but there was some thing about Alice that made him yearn to touch her skin and run his hands all over her body. Well, if all went to plan that would be exactly what he would be doing tomorrow night. First though he had to find a place away from the light and Jared thought he new the perfect place.
