Epilouge 2

New Orleans
Halloween
15 years later

Bourbon Street was abuzz with chatter and music you'd believe the street itself was alive. The talks of parades,ghost tours, haunted houses and the next bar to hop were many happy conversations you would hear. Yet away from the lively festivities down one of the many dark alley ways you should never venture down on the best of days,more sinister things were occurring.
A young woman lay crying beaten her once white nurse costume torn and dirty from the filth of the ground. A man leered over her swaying slightly as he laughed at his own handy work, unsteady hands fumbling to unlatch his belt to finish what he had started. Neither heard the sound of boots or the soft rattle of chains echoing off the walls. You see in New Orleans there is always something or someone watching waiting for their next prey.

"Run rabbit, run rabbit, run run run."

The man paused as the new voice reached him, something in the tone caused a chill down his spine despite it still being warm. He turned his head slightly to the new comer only able to see a silhouette coming closer.

"You best be on ya way and minding ya own. Unless you wanna watch,"The man half growled half laugh. The person stopped which caused him to smile thinking he had them scared. A wave of heat rushed over him as the silhouette began coming close quicker this time.

"Run rabbit, run rabbit, run run run"

It was then he realized that this person wasn't going to leave anger began replacing what lustfilled desires he had. As he turned around completely to face the unwelcome guest he was met with a pair of burning red eyes. The strangers hand glowed as if it was melted steal illuminating their face to show a woman not much older than his captive on the floor. Fear and the lingering effects of the alcohol locked him in place. The pungent smell of urine began to fill the alleyway as he stained his pants. "Vvvv vampire," was the only words he could muster out. The once big bad predator had turned into a rabbit just like the one he had stalked and hunted all night.

"No vampire darling just a bigger, meaner predator." With that the woman sprinted towards him closing the gap. She grabbed his arm searing through cloth and flesh. The pervert screamed wilding swinging his free arm landing a few blows to the woman's face before losing balance. He continue to howl in pain noticing through glossy eyes she was holding his severed arm. He looked to his missing appendage before collapsing to his knees. There was no blood it had been completely cauterized. He looked into her blazing eyes as his vision slowly gave out.

"Please."

"Save your pleases, for we're your going for they will fall on deaf ears here as hers went on yours." In a final swinging motion of her hand his head fell from his shoulders as his body fell with a thump.

The alleyway fell silent for a moment before mumbled prayers could be heard between sobs from the battered woman.

"I won't come any closer, but if you can stand and walk you need to get out of here now. Go find a place to use a phone on Bourbon Street. Find yours friends you came with I'm sure they are worried about you. I'm gonna stand at the end over there and wait for you to leave you don't need to see anything else." The woman turned around and did exactly that waiting a distance from the alleyway entrance until finally the terrified nurse emerged. She looked at her dirty and a bit worse for wear but in one piece ,better shape then what could have happened.

"Iiiii don't know what what you are aaangel? Demon vamvampire.... But god Thankyou."

"Don't thank me.....Do as I said  get to one of those bars and get some help..... take care of yourself."
