As you turned a corner, you couldn't help but notice a flicker of movement out of the corner of your eye. It was then you saw him. Before you could react or even speak, the vampire's face contorted into a wicked grin. With a swift motion of his hand, he tossed a lifeless cat at your feet.

"Looking for that?" the vampire spoke in a voice that sent shivers through your core. He held up his finger, stained with the blood of your pet, and nonchalantly licked it clean, savoring the taste.
