Chapter 12: Animals

They lay in his bed at the hotel, Hannibal had been kissing every inch of her bare flesh for an hour, he never seemed to tire of it. They had fucked like animals for hours since her revelation in the woods and she was sore, that's what they were to her though, a pair of animals who had ruthlessly killed. Hannibal bit and sucked roughly at her nipples as she ran her hands over his back, he wanted her again she could tell,

' We have to go back' she murmured as his teeth released her pink nipple once again,

' I suppose we must' he said wearily, he had filled in all the gaps in the story of his life for her and though she thought she was slightly monstrous for thinking it, she sympathized with him,

' But first, let me have you once more before society's rules restrict us back in London' she smiled as he pressed his lips against hers,

' Aren't you sick of me yet?' he looked at her as if she had said the stupidest statement ever uttered,

' Never' he muttered huskily as his hands parted her legs, he trailed kisses down the centre of her body and stopped once his face was between her legs, she moaned as his warm tongue teased her and his teeth nibbled on her clit.

They parted at the train station and she made her way back to her room at the college, she was surprised to see a large crowd of people gathered outside trying to peer through the doors,

' What's going on?' she asked one of the girls on her course who also lived there

' Oh my god Evelyn you haven't heard?'

' No I've been on holiday what is it?'

' It's… Diana'.

Evelyn sat in professor burtons office, she couldn't stop shaking as he handed her a large whiskey to calm her down. He sat opposite her and gripped her hand,

' Evelyn there's an inspector Murphy here to see you, he just wants to ask you a couple of things' she nodded and he stood up,

' Hello Evelyn I know you're in shock but I only need to ask you a couple of questions is that alright?' she nodded again

' Ok, when did you last see your friend?'

' Erm…months ago actually the last I heard from her was that she'd run off and married this guy she'd been seeing, that she wouldn't be coming back to college and she wanted me to meet him'

' Did you respond?'

' No I thought it was strange, she left so many things behind and Diana loved her things it was all her jewellery and clothes, she'd never leave without them but I… I guess I just put it to the back of my mind'

' You say she was married?'

' So the letter says'

' But you never met him?'

' No she was quite secretive about him… do you think it was him the whole time?'

' Perhaps… Dr Lecter has had some excellent theories that we hadn't thought of, perhaps this man Diana met is working with our killer, he entraps them and seduces them and the other man kills them, but to be honest Evelyn we just don't know' she looked up at him, he was strikingly good looking and quite young to be an inspector. He smiled at her and held her hand; she couldn't help feeling a little twinge of excitement at his touch,

' Evelyn I'm afraid I have to tell you more' she nodded inviting him to go on,

' It would appear that whoever killed Diana and brought her body back here also went into your room' she gaped in shock

' I'm so sorry to ask this…we…we need a formal identification on Diana's body and you knew her well and…well… I'm not sure how to put this, were you and Diana very close?'

' Yes why?'

' Well the thing is…' he rubbed the back of his neck and she felt his grip on her hand tighten,

' … Well there's not much left of Diana to identify'.

Sorry it's taken so long to update, review so I know you're still with me x
