Prey
He observed the young girl from the shadows as she swung back and forth on the swing without a care in the world, completely oblivious to the fact that these would be the last few moments of her life.
She was wearing a sunflower yellow dress and a matching ribbon in her platinum blonde hair.
It struck him as odd that a child so young would be allowed to stay out so late, and it almost made what he was planning to do far too easy.
He inhaled deeply and sighed. The scent of her sweet blood called to him like a siren song called men to their slaughter. He knew without a doubt that she would taste absolutely delectable.
The light breeze blew the little girl's hair behind her, revealing her soft, creamy white, youthful neck. He could see the pulse beating calmly beneath her skin and he couldn't wait to sink his teeth into it.
He could feel his mouth begin to water at the thought as his fangs slipped out of his gums. It would only be a matter of time before he made his move.
Sanguini laid his hands against the tree trunk and snarled quietly. His eyes turned a dark shade of red as he manoeuvred around the trees that lined the outskirts of the park, moving closer and closer to his next victim.
He paused when he reached the tree that was directly in line with the little girl and pried back the branch to get a better view of her.
She looked so beautiful, innocent and pure; she would be a most appetising treat after feeding on old age pensioners for the last few nights.
The sound of a car door slamming loudly in the distance caused the little girl to whip round quickly and captured her full attention. Sanguini gratefully took her momentary distraction and leapt out from the trees and sunk his fangs deep into her neck.
There was no chance for the child's screams and cries for help to leave her mouth.
As the blood trickled down Sanguini's throat, the little girl's body became limp in his arms and the vampire let out a low groan of approval.
The vampire could safely say that the girl in yellow had been the best meal he had had in a long time, and he hoped to find another treat like her very soon.
