Prey for Him

All credits for characters to Stephenie Meyer, of course.

Darksper drabble. Probably should be posting at Halloween. Didn't want to wait that long. Don't know if there will be a happy ending.

Prologue

He stood patiently, waiting on the busy street. He knew his target was inside the building, but he decided to watch the bustle of humans for a few minutes before entering.

His attention was drawn to a young girl across the street. He realized she had frozen at the sight of him as the scent of her fear wafted to him from across the street.

Delicious. He couldn't stop the smile that flitted across his face.

But she had spotted him, so he had to duck out of sight before she could get a good look at him. Fortunately she was momentarily distracted by a passing bus, so he quickly moved around the corner of the building out of her sight.

He leapt on top of a delivery truck on a side street, crouching low to avoid notice, and waited for her reaction to his disappearance. She didn't disappoint, as she looked about wildly for him, then turned and almost ran down the street. He followed her with his eyes until she entered a building, craning his neck around the corner of the building. A small coffee shop. What was it with humans and their love of coffee? These shops were everywhere.

To his surprise, his original quarry, a meddlesome human lawyer, came out of the building just a few minutes later and went in the same direction.

Odd. Once inside her office, this attorney seldom left unless she had a court appearance or some other appointment which she had noted on her calendar. And he had full access to her computerized calendar. Could the two women be connected?

If so, maybe he would take both. He jumped down from his perch, removed his coat and stashed it inside the truck, and followed the attorney to the coffee shop. Standing outside the building, he listened to the two women. They were talking, and as he head suspected, the delicious-smelling brunette had noticed him. But the attorney wasn't giving the girl any information about her own suspicions. He would consult with Carlisle about grabbing both women, but the young one would be for his personal use.

THIS IS A DRABBLE.

Please review. I will send a preview of the next chapter to all reviewers.
