N/A Okay, I have the movies and the books to the Hannibal Lecter series. I love how the

books end, but with that, how am I supposed to make it a story? So, I am using how the

movie ended, and I hope that you readers like it.

Hush little Starling

Prologue

"Did you ever think to say stop, if you loved me you'd stop?"

Clarice had thought about that statement for the past year since Dr. Lecter had

once again gotten away. The ongoing investigation to once again find the doctor was still

in affect, and she was part of the team, but she couldn't help but think. what did he

mean by that, and why didn't he cut her, instead of maiming himself. The last thing he had said to her, she was crying, because of all the blood, it had

startled her for a moment. "Hush little Starling." Then he left.

People wondered what had really happened, and she had been caught up in a lot

of papers and court time once Paul Krendler's body was found, but after a year, it was

finally settled, and she hadn't heard anything from the good doctor.

She went out to get the mail, and stopped dead in her tracks at the box. She

couldn't believe it. There was a heavy envelope in the box. She had received mail like

this before, from Dr. Lecter, and she was almost afraid of it now. With trembling hands

she pulled the letter out and went inside to read it.

Little Starling,

Are the police still searching for me? I assume that they are. Though, I

don't suppose that they shall ever find me, there's no other maimed, as you

would have called Mason Verger, 'victims' around putting out rewards for

my head to feed to the pigs. No, no, no. Now its just the cops and you. Do

you still think about me Clarice? Do you lay awake in the middle of the

night and wonder if I will ever come back and pay you a last visit. Do you

ever wonder, Little Starling, why things happened like they did?

I still have my view, and this time it is closer to home then you would

think, and by the way, I loved that little red dress.

Her eyes widened in shock. She had worn a new red dress to the last convention

with the police. She continued to read, being careful not to get any finger prints on it,

though she doubted that Dr. Lecter would be foolish enough to get any smudges on the

letter, there was still a slight chance.

Yes Clarice, I see you, and I know what you are up to. I smell your

expensive perfume, and I see you walk around everyday in you cheap shoes,

but don't fret Little Starling, I have preparations to make, and then maybe

we can rendezvous again.

Till then, Ta,

Hannibal Lecter

Oh, and P.S.

Your sitting in your nice little home, reading this right now, and

wondering where I am. Don't worry Clarice, I'm watching over you, don't

cry. Hush Little Starling.
H.L.

Clarice finished the letter and carefully folded it and placed it back into the

envelope, then got up, pulled the shutters and locked the doors, then calmly called the

police.

A/N Well, what do you all think? I know, this is just a little but of a prologue, and there

really isnt much Hannibal action. Did I do Lecter okay? Any suggestions? You like it

hate it? What? Please, review.
