Chapter : A Hannibal Chapter
by : girldoctor
Disclaimer : All characters belong to Thomas Harris . Thank you for the very nice reviews :) ! This chapter is a Hannibal Lecter chapter . This whole story starts out with him but somewhere I changed it completely to Clarice . So I thought it was time to change that .
Hannibal , not wishing to return to bed , slept on his couch for the remaining hours of the night . He drifted off to sleep while thinking about Clarice's beautiful auburn hair . He wondered what her hair would smell like in the rain ?
Hannibal awoke in the morning and went to take a shower . He walked quietly not wanting to wake up Miss DuBerry .
He did not understand why he felt the need to be quiet it was his home after all . If he did not wish for her company than he should just tell her to leave . He was only using her anyway .
Hannibal cleared his mind . Then turned his thoughts to yesterday .
He had asked Clarice . " How did you feel when my _ " he paused " lady friend came by today ? "
Clarice looked at him . " I don't know . I wasn't happy . " Clarice answered his question truthfully .
Hannibal smiled at the memory . My o my how the almighty falls down . Clarice's feelings were beginning to show . It wouldn't be long now . Hannibal smiled to himself glad for the pleasant thoughts while he took a warm shower .
Hannibal , his body washed and his hair clean , got out of the shower . He was glad to find Rachel still asleep . He smiled , she must have really been exhausted .
He laughed silently while thinking back to last night .
He wanted Clarice so badly . Every look she threw his way , especially the angry glares , pierced his heart . Pushing him over the edge a little each time . He built rooms in his memory palace specifically for her eyes .
Last night when they both stood together in the dark after their adventures in Crawford's office she had looked so sad to him . He knew at that moment she was hiding something from him . Not something like growing up in an orphanage . It was something else .
He almost felt like she knew something about him but that would have been impossible . Wouldn't it ?His mind try to make a connection , he couldn't find any . He would continued to think about it , or she would come to him first . He knew that she would . He felt sure of it , he could feel her within him . He knew he was within her as well .
While they stood in the dark . He felt somewhat hurt by her sad look . He had broke into Crawford's office for her . She should have been smiling from doing something so wild and against the rules . He knew she had not done much rule breaking in her lifetime .
He had wanted to make her feel better , even if it was just a little bit . He shocked himself by the words that flew out of his mouth before he stoped them he had told her how he had ' borrowed ' the keys from the janitor . His heart thumped within his chest when she lit up a bit .
He wanted to grab her and hold her to him . His feeling were very strong at that moment . Other parts of his body were trying to think for him .
He knew , deep deep down , that he could say the exact words that she wanted to hear . Those words would have made her follow him to his dorm where he would inflame her . Yes , inflame her .
Then again , did he truely know that his words could make her follow him to his dorm ? If it was any other woman he knew the answer would be yes , without a doubt . Clarice , however , was a mystery to him .
He had to leave her now . He had to get away from her presence to stop his thoughts which were turning to a more darker side .
His mind and body was cloudy with an unknown heated passion the like of which he had never experienced before .
He returned to his dorm where he found Rachel DuBerry waiting for him by his door . Her little face brighten up as he walked toward her . He silently grabed her and kissed her brutality . She mistake the brutal kiss for passion .
Rachel , not knowing what she was getting herself into kissed him back just as passionately . While her thoughts were with Hannibal , his thoughts were with an auburn hair Venus that he just couldn't get enough of .
Not breaking the kiss he unlocked his door and pushed her in . Eventually they ended up in his bedroom .
He turned off the rest of the memory , seeing that the end result was right in front of him . Half covered in his bedsheets half uncovered . He sighed and went to the kitchen .
He made plans to go by Crawford's office to see if anyone suspected anything . Their was no reason for anyone to . He and Clarice had put everything back in perfect order .
He fixed himself breakfast , not wishing to go without . Then he went back to his room to wake Rachel DuBerry up . He did not want her to be in his dorm when he returned .
He touch her gently on her arm . He had hoped that he could just wake her up and she would just leave .
" Rachel ? " Did that come out as a hiss ?
" Hannibal mmmm . " She smiled in her sleep .
Hannibal sighed . " Rachel ? " He turned on his charm . " I have some work to do , so if you could wake your lovely body up so we can both be on our way hmmm ? "
" Hannibal can I not take a shower first ? " She asked looking somewhat disheveled . He sighed again .
After she had her shower and ate some breakfast made in courtesy by him . He finally got her out of his dorm .
All the annoyance that had grew in his mind from the short time he spend with Rachel this morning disappeared completely as he greeted the sun when he finally made it outside .
He picked up a news paper , while he was out . He ignore the front page . " Man found organs missing . "
Hannibal would look at the paper later right now he drove to the school . He entered through the doors that were the farthest from Crawford's office .
He began his short walk enjoying the quiet of the schools hall . He wondered briefly what Clarice was doing at this moment . Then he quickly closed that thought off , not wishing to think about her yet .
Hannibal passed Crawfords mildly attractive secretary . He ignored her glances while he slowly walked by Crawford's office taking a glance through the door window .
Crawford wasn't their but their was no scurry movement around his office or anything that would suggest anyone knew anything . Hannibal felt eyes staring at him .
He turned to find Crawford's secretary staring at him . He gave her his charming smile . She got choked on her coffee . Hannibal hid a laugh as he turned a corner . He found the effect he had on woman comical .
Hannibal got in his car and drove it to Clarice dorm buildings parking lot just to be closer to her .
Then he turned his car off and pick up the news paper to look at the front page .
" Man who was found with organs missing has a name . Greggory Hartman . "
Hannibal put the news paper down . Greggory Hartman . . . . . . . . . . . . .
As Hannibal's superior walked by him in the halls of the hospital he called over his shoulder " Hannibal check on patient 372 . "
Hannibal nodded taking the patients chart .
Hannibal entered room 372 . " Mr Greggory Hartman . " Hannibal acknowledged him by name it was only polite .
" I am going to check your vital signs . " The patient did not acknowledge him that made Hannibal frown slightly . No matter , Hannibal had thought as he checked the patients vital signs .
As Hannibal started his work he noticed a small child sitting in the chair in the corner .
The small child was a little boy . The little boy had tears in his eyes . Hannibal wondered briefly why the child looked so hurt . Hannbal also wondered why he cared . It was a hospital after all and it was not the first time he had seen a sad child .
The thoughts of the little boy did not bother Hannibal for the rest of his work hours . Hannibal finished his work and began his walk to the parking lot to leave when he saw Greggory Hartman and the same little boy again . Hannibal walked passed them , finding it easy to ignore the man and child .
Hannibal could tell that the man was yelling at the kid . But , it did not catch his attention until the man started calling the boy names . Hannibal found himself turning around slowly to look back at them .
Lecter found himself getting angry . He did not understand why but being who he was he hid the anger quite well . He locked the anger away then he found himself wondering what this mans liver would taste like with the wine he had waiting on him at his dorm .
It had been a while since Lecter had let his appetite for the more unique tastes out . After those thoughts he just simply could not refuse but what of the child ? Did he care ? Yes , he did for some reason .
Dropping his plans for the evening he followed the man and child home . The man and child was part of a family that included an older woman the wife / mother and a little girl .
It was not hard after observing the family to come up with a conclusion .
The father was a drunk who had a out of range temper . He took his temper out on the children's mother mostly . But he would take it out on the children when she was not around . He was verbally and physically abusive .
Hannibal made his decision without really even thinking about it . While watching the family he had unconsciously got his favorite chemical out and had pour a bit on a piece of cloth he told himself to proceed carefully .
Getting Greggory Hartman on his way to work was the best option . It was all done in perfect timing with none the wiser . Hannibal had a perfect meal and the law hadn't found the body . Until now .
Hannibal sighed . He was not that surprise the cops found the body . He had wondered why it took them so long .
Hannibal was not worried about it . He was more careful now . He had learn from his past mistakes . If he was going to continue with his special appetite he would aways proceed carefully .
He wondered if Clarice had watched the news lately . His smiled turn dark along with his thoughts .

Clarice , in her dorm , paced her room . Walking back and forth , left and right .
She glanced at the file that said Hannibal Lecter . It was lying comfortably on her bed propped up against her pillows . She paused for only a second than began pacing again .
Last night after Hannibal left her outside , she slowly walked back to her dorm . She had placed the file on her bed and decided to read the file in the morning . She felled asleep with the file protectively under her arm . When she had first awoke she tried to avoid the file by doing chores , fixing breakfast , etc . With no other distractions keeping her from the file she had started pacing .
She did not know if she was waiting for the file to just disappear like a dream or for it to open itself .
As Clarice paced she started to make an internal pros and cons list .
Finally the reason to open the file out beat the reasons to not open the file .
Clarice sat on her bed , and open the file slowly not knowing that the person of which the file was about sat in the very parking lot in his car entertaining himself with thoughts of her .
