Graceful Movements – First Meeting
This is my first story I've written in a very long time and I already know there will be many things wrong with it so feel free to point out any mistakes and let me know what you think.
I only own any original characters. Anyone else belong to their creators and not me.
It is safe to say that Tsukiyama shuu was most certainly captivated. The flowing graceful movements of the human woman dancing in front of him took his breath away. He was no stranger to infatuation but this was something new, something deeper and if he hadn't known better he could have mistaken it as adoration. He knew better though. He was a ghoul and her a human. It was nothing more than his natural hunting instincts selecting who his next meal would be.
The music slowly died out as the slender womans dance came to an end. Even though she had been the only person on the ice she had managed to fill the entire rink with her presence effortlessly. Tsukiyama watched as she slowly skated over the gate and took a careful step off the ice. Seeing his chance to see the human up close he moved away from his seat at the edge of the ice and briskly made his way over to her. He watched while she removed her skates and put on her own shoes. She was so caught up in what she was doing she didn't even notice that he had walked right up to her and was now standing very close to her.
"Bonjour ma chère" His words must have taken the young lady by surprise as she jumped and turned to face him her eyes wide, like a deer in the headlights. Tsukiyama felt his mouth water as her scent fogged his senses. It took all of his inner strength to stop his ghoul instincts from taking over. All he could think of was how delicious she smelt and how much he wanted to sink his teeth into the soft warm flesh of her neck. Snapping himself out of his predatory thoughts he flashed her a toothy grin and held out a hand for her to shake.
"I watched the way you danced out there. Quite beautiful if I may say so." He shot her his most charming grin and felt the satisfaction build within him as her face flushed red.
"Thank you very much, I had no idea anyone was still here" She responded shyly unable to look at him for very long without looking away in embarrassment. "I'm Evangeline, what is your name? If you don't mind me asking" she enquired still unable to look him in the eye.
She shook his outstretched hand letting Tsukiyama feel how soft and warm her hands were. His hands dwarfed her own with ease. She was clearly rather strong for someone with such a petite frame, most likely because of her ice skating hobbies but she was still so small and fragile compared to him. He knew that just one wrong movement and he could brake her without any effort. This thought just fuelled his hunger for her.
"My name is Tsukiyama Shuu." He brought the back of her hand up to his lips and placed a small kiss on the smooth skin. His enhanced hearing made it possible to hear her heartbeat race in response to his actions. "It is a pleasure to meet you" He let go of her hand and smirked down at her. He opened his mouth to speak again but was cut off.
"Eve, Come on, I want to go" A shout came from the front doors of the ice rink. A young man waved over at them and Tsukiyama could feel his blood boil as Evangeline moved away from him quickly. She waved back at the new stranger before looking at Tsukiyama and smiling sweetly.
"Sorry, That's my boyfriend, I guess I have to go. I'm sure I'll see you around." She apologized before turning and jogging over to the man who Tsukiyama now knew to be her boyfriend leaving Tsukiyama standing staring after her her scent the overwhelming him.
Her sing song voice and gentle movements had somehow stirred up many unknown feelings in the now furious ghoul. He didn't like the idea of his next meal leaving with someone else. This was not how his plan was meant to go. He had chosen her as his next meal and nothing was going to get in the way. Especially not a human man. He needed her to trust him, He needed to be the only one she needed so in those painful final moments he could relish in the heartbreak and horror. It would enhance her flavour and make the kill so much more satisfying.
He watched the two leave before laughing to himself and smirking. This wasn't going to be as easy as he had thought but it had been a while since he had to truly work for his food and in the end he was sure it would only make it so much more enjoyable.
Little Evangeline would be his by the end of the month. He was going to make sure of that.
