Excerpt
Tasha wasn’t there. That’s
when I began to panic. What if something had happened to her? As the terror
crept over me, I heard her; at least I thought I did. My friend sounded
confused or drunk. I turned to see the alley; the entrance to it was at the
back of the line. I poked my head around the corner and I saw him. For a second
I froze because I recognized him. Yeah, he was a bit cleaner, less grungy
looking, but it was really him. Number three in my sketches. He was there that
night, when I was taken. I remembered him instantly, even though I only saw the
side of his face. He had a scar right below his eye and his skin had that same
odd tint of grey, the shade of the sick and dying.
Then I noticed he was
hovering over something, no someone. I see her legs and then he shifted to the
side and I see my friend, Latasha, lying on the ground. She looked scared, but
mostly because she was too drunk to understand what was happening to her. He
reached for her and I felt my blood boil.
“Hey!” I called out to
him and he turned to me. “Get away from her.”
“And what are you
going to do if I don’t?” He stepped towards me then stopped. “Oh, I remember
you, the pretty one that got away.” He laughed.
“Leave her alone.”
“Or what? You haven’t
told me. By the way, how the hell did you get away? What happened to Rodney?”
“Would you like to
find out?” I ask, and I cannot understand why my question sounds more like a
threat.
“Oh please baby, show
me.” He grins and I see his teeth, they are yellow and decaying. His breath is
strong enough to overtake the stench of mildew and garbage that lingers in the
alley.
“I’ll show you.” The
confidence in my strut as I walk over to him isn’t one that I recognize. It’s
as if my body is acting separately from my mind.
I approached him
slowly and he bucked out his chest. He was obviously proud and cocky; he
actually thought that he was appealing. It was a sad display and I felt my
stomach turn. Somehow I was able to stomach his stench long enough to get
close. I touched his face and brought him closer to me.
“Oh yeah baby.” He
groans.
I find it pathetic
that just a touch got him so excited and that he actually thought that I would
allow him to touch me. At least he preferred a willing victim to an unconscious
one. I smiled at him, and I could actually taste his pleasure in the air. All
that from a smile? I didn’t question the fact that I was tasting pleasure or
that I could almost see it coming from him. The heat rose, waves of it, as his
body temperature rose. Suddenly I was hungry, but not for food, for his lust, and
his pleasure. Before I could stop myself, my lips were on his and I was kissing
him hungrily. He was into it of course; he grabbed at me and pulled at my
clothing. He grinded his body up against my own, and then he changed. He began to
struggle, trying to pull away and yet pushing himself further into me. He wants
me, and he wants to get away at the same time,
“Sy stop!” I heard
him, behind me, Malachi. I released the man and it was a moment before I realized
that he actually dropped to the ground when I let him go.
“What?” I screeched at
Malachi. I was angry, and he had interrupted my pleasure.
“Look at what you are
doing.” He said calmly. His hands were up to show he meant no harm.
I turned to the man;
he looked different as he lay on the ground in front of me. His body was
withered and old.
“What the hell?!”
“I will explain it to
you, later. Now, we have to get the hell out of here.”
