A figure stalked through the vacant alleyway of New York City. Shaun Diviney was prowling for his next meal. It was approaching midnight and he knew Andy and Bradie wouldn't wait forever. He kicked an empty beer bottle out of his path. It shattered against a dumpster, the noise resounding through the partial silence. He was behind a bar now, the rowdy drunken chatter from within and the smell of alcohol and sweat permeating the air. He knew from experience how ghastly blood laced with alcohol tasted.
Finally, he came across a young woman sitting in front of a locked back entrance to a pub. She looked lost, obviously not from New York, he realised. She sighed in relief as she saw him. 'Excuse me, perhaps you could tell me where –?' But she didn't get to finish her question as Shaun had pushed her against the wall. 'Get off me!' she shouted at him. He ignored her, moving her black hair away from her neck. She screamed for help but the attempts were futile. He bit into her soft neck, the sweet blood entering his mouth. She screamed again, wordlessly this time. He didn't get to enjoy the taste for long, though.
Weak as he fed, the girl was able to push him off. Her fist collided with his cheek. Where their skin connected, he only felt a slight tickle. Within seconds, she'd run away, her heels clacking against the concrete underfoot in the alley. Shaun growled and then cursed. Andy would not be pleased.
AN:// Hey everyone! So, it's finally here. I'm really excited to know what you think of the story so far, so please leave a comment. I hope to have chapter one up at some point soon. I've only edited up to partway in chapter two, but I'll make some time to edit both this and Done For You. I probably won't update again until after Thursday. I'm going to see the wonderful band this fic is written about and I have to get down to the city early-ish. I'll also most likely be busy all day tomorrow (Wednesday) as I just got back from a week away and I have to unpack and all that lovely stuff. Thanks for reading the prologue and the really long AN. Until next update,
-xo, Emily
