Five Times Hannibal Killed (and one he didn't)
A/N: These are new killings, not ones that have already occurred. Also, all of these take place BEFORE the season finale. Each drabble will deal with the killings in a different way. I took liberties with the timeline compared to the show, forgive and bear with me. Bon appetit!
3. Harietta Young (February 19th, 2013).
"You know, the pain would be much more bearable if you stopped struggling," he whispered.
"Please, let me go!"
Of course, Harietta would not be 'let go'.
"Don't be stupid. You can't beg your way out of being murdered."
The man put his hand over her mouth and shushed her again. He had already stabbed her once, but she kept wiggling her way free again. "Damn it!" he cursed. If it wasn't for the time of night and the privacy of the alley he was sure someone would have heard her. He smiled at that, silently congratulating himself on his skill.
"Well, that's no way to treat a lady," someone tsked.
Both the woman and the man turned around to see a tall, lean man in formal attire. The man with the knife cursed again. There was no way he could take down thisnew man. Hell, he barely had the woman!
"You shouldn't have come down here."
"You shouldn't have tried to kill this woman." The tall man approached with a confident stride. Without hesitation he grabbed the criminal by his neck, and then he sniffed him. "What the hell are you doing?" Now it was the tall man's turn to hush him. He pushed him into the side of the wall, effectively knocking him out, and helped the woman up. "Thank you," she mumbled, still disorientated.
But the man who had saved her chuckled. "No, you shouldn't thank me."
"What are you talking about? You saved me from that guy!"
"From that guy, I suppose, but not from myself." His arms were now wrapped around her, his hands crawling toward her neck. "He won't remember what happened when he wakes up, but I'm afraid you won't have the luxury of waking up at all."
And, unfortunately, the man was right.
-Hannibal-
Katz, Zeller, Jack, and Will waited while Hannibal finished preparing dinner. They made small talk, jokes, and comments about how good Hannibal was at cooking. Soon enough, Hannibal and three trays full of food came out of the kitchen.
"Thank you all for coming. I do hope we can have many more feasts in the future." Then, with all the food set out, he too say down.
"Dr. Lector, this is delicious," Jack raved.
"Thank you, I practically had to hunt for it. All the other meat…they just weren't as appealing."
"Well, I should have you do my grocery shopping, then!" Zeller laughed.
"Oh, I would enjoy that very much," Hannibal smiled.
