Product of a Murder

Devil in Disguise

 "Hey" She could hear him on the other end of the line, his voice sounded exhausted and fragile.

"Hey?" She said against the phone her voice sounding tired as well, but truly she was nervous. Why was she nervous? Wouldn't you be if you had a date with the devil? Of course she didn't know he was the devil, of course she just looked at him as if he were a rarity. She felt special but couldn't let her mind wander to far, she knew it was probably just a kind gesture.

"What are you up too? I need to talk to you." Will said over the phone, it was a desperate attempt and sent her heart into a million pieces. It not only done that, it made her feel as if she were doing something wrong with going to Hannibal's. Was it wrong? She couldn't see how it could've been.

"I'm actually kind of busy Will.." There was a soft pause and a sigh.

"Okay just..whenever youre finished stop by, anytime tonight I don't care how late" He sounded more desperate, was he crying? She sighed and went to say something but was lost for words. 

"Of course, ill be over as soon as I can." was all she could say before she ended the call..What was she doing wrong? Why did she always feel like everything she did was wrong? She grabbed the corner of her dresser and looked ahead at her mirror, for the first time in what seemed like forever. She never seemed to care for her reflection but she was obviously trying her hardest. She had a beautiful black dress that clung to her body in a hypnotizing way, and her medium brown hair was put up in a elegant bun with a few curly strands that hung by her face. She couldn't believe that she could actually look slightly beautiful for once in her life, she felt beautiful...but she couldn't really believe it. Her red eyes scanned over her face which had barely makeup painted on, and she decided it was time to go... She had to do this...no no she didn't, she wanted to.

 Will sat down on the couch his breath stabilizing his heart beat as he closed his eyes, what was he even thinking? He NEEDED to see her, he needed too right then and there and he had to let her know that she was in danger. He knew she was in danger as soon as he woke up and the feeling that clung against the air around him gave his spine a slight chill that would often upset anyone who felt it. His fingers dug into his arm chair as he blocked the thoughts and visions that kept attacking him. He shook them free with a soft whimper and began to rock back and forth softly, he needed to get out..get away. He had to see her, the urge was so strong that his body began to ache once more and he snatched the phone from the stand.

"Please answer please" He seemed to beg under his breath as he stood up and began to dial in her number.

Silence.

Ringing skipped into his ears as he listened, his jaw clenched so hard it felt as if his teeth where ready to fall out. One ring, two.....three...

"Will...?" Her melodic voice caressed his thoughts, automatically calming him down. He loved that about this woman, she calmed him...She was everything that he ever asked for and now he felt she was in danger. "Will, you just called... Is everything okay?"

"No-" He said abruptly "I woke up and and."

"Look Will, I really need to go..im busy" She said softly her voice hinting the sadness that probably crossed her face. He could tell she didn't want to let him go but something was making her leave. He Knew something had to be forcing her to leave...

"Okay...okay sorry for calling again.." he whispered and hung up without even bothering to hear her say bye..He was going to go get her, whether she liked it or not he had to get her and keep her away from this..this...whatever it was.  He felt the world around him change and move, he felt it's dark whispers eating at the back of his mind.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hello?" he answered as he finished the last of his cooking and began to set up the table.

"Hannibal., I don't know if I can...come." Her voice was tired sounding, like she was worried. His eyebrows raised as his maroon eyes closed and focused on her breathing on the other end. "Something happened to William, hes been calling non stop."

"Leave him alone Mitka." He said in the sweetest of tones, "Tonight is for you, don't let him stop you from doing what you want. I know he is your friend but he doesn't understand you need time away from him." did he really say that? He didn't give a damn in all honesty. "William can take care of himself."

"I know...I know...Ill still come.." She answered back, "I'm just worried."

"Don't be. Everything will be okay." He smiled to himself.

After they had gotten off the phone he stood there in the silence of the room, his eyes still closed and the phone still in his hand. Everything was racing within his mind, their whispers suckling their way through the air and to his ears. The demons in the room, his demons in which hung around like a beautiful fragrance. They told him many things, even though he knew they weren't there, they were just dark thoughts that possessed him many times within the day. They spoke of Will...and that's whenever he made the phone call. 

"William." He spoke his voice was worried. "Mitka called me, she is worried about you. I went and picked her up for dinner so no need to worry about her okay?"

"What? She is over there right now?" Will's voice was so worried and Hannibal fed off of it with a smile and glanced up as to act as if she were. 

"She is sitting on the couch."

"Ill be on my way, I need to speak to her about something." His voice sounded unsure...like a secret. Every red flag went up within Hannibal's mind even though he knew nobody knew about his secret...no one would ever find out he was to smart to fall under the bus. 

"She doesn't want to see you right now William, she is stressed."

"Please have her come over here as soon as she can, please?" The begging made Hannibal's eyes close, he felt the sorrow within the man's words. This woman meant so much to him, and Hannibal was going to make sure to break that..She wouldn't be thinking about anything except for him. He'd make sure she would forget Will Graham.

"As soon as she can. Of course." The smile on Hannibal's face would've killed a room full of nuns.  

"Thank you so much..." Will said through the phone and there was an instant click. 

As if she were right on time, knocking ruined the silence within the house and seemed to awaken him from his thoughts.  A smile spread across his lips and his eyes seemed to glow red within the dim lighting of the room as he made his way to the door.
She is going to forget all about you William. he thought and couldn't help but to smile to himself.
