In the dead of night, on a road empty save for the occasional car, a predator is stalking its prey.
He looks at the young brown haired girl, walking alone. She looks so much like his own. But she isn't. He watches as she walks through the streets not seeming to notice the man behind her. So naïve. She pauses in the street and the hunter chooses this moment to attack. She tries to scream but he presses his hand against her mouth. He forces her to the ground and strips her of her clothes. He seems to revel in the fear in her brown eyes that look like hers. But they aren't. She bites his hand, struggling. He only laughs coldly. He unzips his pants with his free hand and begins to degrade this poor girl who had done nothing wrong except look like the one whom he wishes to be his own. He roars and begins to strangling her. She chokes, pained whimpers coming from her mouth. He presses harder, enjoying the power that comes with seeing the life drain out of her eyes. Her brown eyes. Just like his own. He wants his own! Not this stupid girl lying dead in the street. Enraged, he pull a knife from his back pocket and stabs her viciously and repeatedly in the chest and watches as blood seeps through her clothing. He gets the note he has written for his own and leaves it on the girl he has killed for her.
Creeping into her silent dormitory on the Dartmouth campus, he watches as angel sleeps. So beautiful. And all his. He kisses her forehead gently. He looks at the sleeping form of her blonde roommate, studies her for a minute then leaves the way he came.
He thinks about the note he left on the gift.
'My dearest Isabella,
Here is a present for you, or a reminder. A reminder that you are mine, and that you will always be. The longer you take to realise this, the more people will be sacrificed because of you. Hurry, my darling. I do not wish to live another minute without you.'
Yes. She would be his. So, so soon.
Police sirens wail faintly in the distance.
A/N: Yes I know I have another story going but this idea came to me and I couldn't let it go. I really need your input on this because I wasn't sure about it at first.
