Into the<Open>Night

[katherinevans]

It was a nice night in Port Angeles. The stars were glittering in the sky and the moon threw its pale light down on the streets. Not many people were out on the streets, in all the houses were the lights on and nearly everyone was hiding inside. On the streets there were laying a few newspapers, which reported about some missing people. To every human the night would have seemed completely quiet. But Katherine knew it better as she moved through small side streets of Port Angeles. Her senses worked a lot better then any humans. She she saw things even if they were far away and could hear the cars driving through the streets in the center of town. She was even able to smell the scent of human blood inside the houses. When she thought about the human blood her throat started to burn, what was a sign that she needed to hunt now. Living as a vampire had it's good sites, but the burning in her throat as soon as she needed blood again was no good thing about it. This burning always made her have a bad mood and she was not in control of herself if she was thirsty. So being thirsty was sometimes really dangerous to everyone around her.

Fast, nearly like a shadow, Katherine moved over the roofs. As she reached the city outskirts, she felt better. The scent of blood was not so strong here. Sure still her throat was on fire, but she was not so afraid to loose control out here. Katherine had only shortly moved to the small town of Forks, near Port Angeles. But like all small towns, it was boring there and people noticed fast if someone was missing. So Katherine went for her hunt most of the time out in the forest to hunt some hikers or she came here to Port Angeles and hunt people that no one would be missing. She had to hunt modestly, so that the humans didn't knew what was going on, she knew. Back in the time when she had been human, people for sure had much faster burned people, that were accused to be vampires. But still the people today weren't stupid. Also if she would cause to much attention the Volturi would come and kill her Katherine knew. A moment later she was torn out of her thoughts, when she sensed a possible prey nearby and the burning inside her throat got worse. Slowly she moved to the edge of the roof and looked down. There Katherine saw a young woman walking through the dirty streets. For a short moment she looked up and down the street, to check that there was no one close to the young woman. Satisfied she noticed that the young woman was alone.

So Katherine closed her eyes, took a deep breath, the scent of blood now filled her senses. As she opened her eyes again, she let her instincts take over. Katherine slowly moved over the roof and then dropped down from it, behind the young woman. Silently without making a sound she landed on the ground. Her next movements were as silent as her first, but much faster. Just a second later, Katherine grabbed the young womans hair from behind and pulled her head back. Before the woman could even scream, Katherine bite. Then she tasted the lightly bitter blood, what came from drugs she knew. Soon the woman was sucked out completely. The burning in throat got weaker, but Katherine knew she still would have to hunt again tonight. So that her thirst would not come back in just a few hours. She needed to be completely fed to be able to stand the burning for a week or more. Sighing she grabbed the dead body and moved it over to a trash bin and put the body into it. Suddenly she smelled someone nearby, for a moment she hesitated. If it was another human great, but another vampire wouldn't be so great, she told herself. But then she decided to wait till the other person appeared in front of her.
