These would look perfect on his trophy wall, and of course he could sell the horns. Ivory was worth a bundle especially these days. A few days later, he walked through the filthy alley. It stank of a mixture of cigarettes, vomit, and dirt, and the air smelled like alcohol. Kraven observed this, stomping on an empty beer can laying in the alley. Garbage dumps lined the graffiti covered brick wall.
The sky turned a depressing grey, as if the Almighty himself was painting the sky from a baby blue to a dark haze. Kraven saw something up ahead. It was a sign, with an arrow pointing in a particular direction. Deciding he was going to check it out, Kraven jumped over a fence, finding a path that led to a secret entrance into a nightclub.
He knocked on the door.A pair of menacing brown eyes appeared from behind a peek-hole slot. "What's the password?" The guard asked in a harsh tone of voice."Screw you." Kraven eloquently replied."Fair enough. Get in," The guard said letting him in.
Once Kraven was inside, he heard loud music blaring loudly. Kraven saw the bodies of males and females dancing hypnotically at the sound of the music. Simply put, the place was packed. Walking by a couple who were either drunk, or dancing, Kraven couldn't tell.
He didn't care. All he wanted was a drink, anything to calm his nerves at the bar, he ordered a mug of beer. He wasn't in the mood for talking to anyone today. After thinking for a moment, Kraven felt like he was repeating the same boring things of life every day. Just once, he wished something interesting would happen. Downing his drink like it was water, he didn't notice the stool beside him move.
A beautiful stranger sat beside him. She wore a sexy dress that revealed her breasts, and while Kraven knew it was impolite to stare, his eyes and brain had other plans he ogled the woman beside him, and he had to admit she was absolutely gorgeous.
She had long, beautiful legs, tanned skin, and just enough cleavage to lead any man's imagination to some deep, not-kid-friendly places."Is this seat taken?" she asked in a Russian accent, interrupting his train of thought it took him a while to process what she was saying.
"Um, no. No, it isn't," he replied, trying not to stutter. The woman smiled. Well, he really couldn't see it because she wore a red silk mask over her mouth. Kraven thought it was mysterious and sexy, but then again, he found it strange that she would want to hide her beauty. Who knows? "My name is Clementine." she said with a smile. "You have very beautiful name." He said. Clementine thanked him. They talked for a while, which led to dancing.
For the first time in his life, he was actually having a blast. Later on that night, Kraven went with Clementine to her house. The night ended in heated passion and pleasure. Kraven normally didn't go home with women he just met, but he let lust take the best of him. Clementine gladly let him have her body. They made love until dawn, and they fell asleep afterwards.
Kraven's p.o.v
I awoke slowly in a slightly dark room. The sun tried desperately to peak through the curtains. I could make out a woman's vanity dresser and a mirror. I winced. I had a headache from drinking too much last night. I groaned, and suddenly realization struck me like a ton of bricks.
Looking over beside me, I saw the woman I had met last night from the club was sleeping soundly.I turned her over, and fell out of bed in fear. I backed up against the wall, thinking, (What the...) She had a human body, but her mouth looked like a cross between a T-Rex and Mileena from Mortal Kombat. Her jagged, sharp teeth dripped with saliva on the worn light fuchsia pillow she was sleeping on.
This has got to be the dumbest thing I have ever done. Trying not to wake her up, I quickly put on my clothes fiddling around for my shirt. I grabbed it and ran out, promising myself never to drink and go home with strange women again. What was I thinking? To calm myself down, I went home, took a shower, and went back to sleep, hoping to never see Clementine again. Unfortunately, life took a turn for the worst.
*A Month later*
I was enjoying a meal with my mother and three brothers. I was happy that Ross, my older brother, wasn't here. Ross was a trouble maker from the start. He was a liar, a back-stabber, and an all-time thief. The man would steal a necklace off his own mother's neck, which he'd actually done before.
He wouldn't even mind doing it again. The man treated his ma like scum between his toes."Sergei, these scallops are delicious. Where did you come up with this recipe?" Mother asked. "Well ma, it came off the top of my head." I said. Mother laughed. "Sergei, you've grown up to be a fine man. I'm so proud, son," She said. "Thanks ma," I replied, poking at my food with my fork the doorbell rang.
My twin brothers Gordon and Galvan were shoving each other in their seats, eating like pigs mama signed shaking her head.
"Now, don't you two get up at once!" I said sarcastically. The twins ignored me, and kept eating. Getting up, I opened the door. My skin paled, seeing Clementine standing there on my porch, rubbing her swollen pregnant belly. Clementine looked at me."There you are I've been searching for you I'm pregnant it's yours." She said. My mother's ears perked up.
My youngest brother, Steven, came downstairs from his shower. He got off work an hour ago. The man was a doctor and was obviously doing better in life right now than me."Son, who is this woman?" my mother asked.
Before I could respond Clementine piped up. "My name is Clementine your son met me in a bar," she choked on her drink. "A-a-are you two even married?!" She asked. "No we just sleep together," Clementine said. Mother was disappointed, and the whole room got silent."Come on, boys. We're going home!" Mama yelled.
"Ma, wait. Please!" I said. Mother didn't want to hear it. "Sergei, I'm disappointed in you!" She said starting to cry."Mom, I-""Sergei marry this woman. No son of mine will be some no-good rolling stone," she said. "I promise, mom," I said. Hearing that, Clementine smirked behind her mask."Okay, I believe you," My Mother replied that day forth, I regretted my entire life.
