Demetri could follow the woman directly, but chose to go back to the hotel rather than tracking her immediately out of town. He assumed that she may have left clues to who she was, because she seemed to have departed in a hurry. The hotel was a "bargain" meaning it was overpriced for the amenities it offered. The woman on third shift desk duty didn't even blink as Demetri walked through the lobby wearing his cloak. She had seen it all.
Upon reaching his target's room, the first thing he noticed was the scent of blood. It was faint, but still hovered in the air. He noticed a slight staining on the carpet, a few drops, but enough to distract him from the main source of the smell. The woman had left the housekeeper to revive on her bed. Demetri checked the unconscious woman over, seeing the half healed cut on her vein. Demetri was starving, and so before he continued searching the room, he drained the woman. Satisfied he turned to the rest of the room.
She had left her clothing behind, her luggage as well. Yet Demetri was convinced that she wasn't planning to return, there was a small pile of coins on the dresser- a tip for the staff. Leaving her possessions was bizarre, especially since she appeared to be skipping town, but Demetri was curious to see the home-gym equipment in the corner. There were weights that combined were over 200 pounds. Far more than any human woman would be able to lift. He was puzzled, but refused to let his demeanor change. Instead he calmly left the room, touching nothing, and leaving the dead woman laying on the bed.
He knew he shouldn't have killed someone so close to their keep. However Demetri understood that the humans would blame the woman's death on the mysterious being who had purchased the room. His saliva was only venom, but perhaps the other bloodsucker's had more human components. There was no way the woman was vampire, he thought again, she didn't look right, her thoughts didn't feel right. He couldn't read minds, but to track he could sort of feel them. Following her thoughts, he headed north-east.
Pausing on the edge of town, he caught a whiff of her physical scent rather than her mental one. Demetri dug through the dumpster and withdrew a pair of tennis shoes. Why had she taken them off? They were in nice condition there was no reason she would have abandoned them. Enthralled by the new development, Demetri continued his chase.
