Bloody Regrets (Hannibal Fan Fiction)

Ring Ring

Eila fell back her hands shaking, heart pounding, and her mind in a full panic. The crimson liquid dripped from her fingers and onto the ground. She whimpered and looked over to the body laying beside her. Limp and lifeless. Tears slid down her cheeks as she bit her bloodied lip. She didn't intend for things to go like this. She needed to find a way out of this. The girl suddenly began to dig around in the dead teen's pockets until she pulled out some change. 

There was a payphone just slightly down the street. She then pulled off his jacket and placed it over herself to hide all the blood. Her finger shook as she placed the money into the slot. Slowly recalling the random collection of numbers to summon him.

It rang.....and rang.....then

"This is Dr.Hannibal Lecter, how may I help you?" the heavy accented voice on the other end of the line made her words fall from her lips. "Hello?" he was about to hang up when Elia began to cry.

"You were wrong...."

"Ellie?"

"I.....I don't know what happened I just couldn't control myself."

"Where are you?"

"I don't know." she whimpered looking around for street signs. "18th"

"I'll be there in a bit don't do anything, understood?"

Lecter arrived to see Elia in the alley pacing around still in full tears. Blood had stained her shirt and the front of her pants. It was smeared around her mouth where she had tried to wipe it off. The Good Doctor walked up to Elia taking her into his arms tightly. She cried deeply when he did so, but his eyes were upon the dead teen. 

He was a sophomore at her school. He had been bitten multiple times in the neck with bits ripped out. Also there were a few claw marks on his arms. The one thing that stirred his interest was that the chunks that had been removed from his throat were not present meaning Elia had either spit them out some place else which was unlikely or had swallowed them herself. 

Hannibal put his head atop of hers and gently brushed her hair whispering calmly to her.

"Everything will be alright Ellie. I will take care of this." she nodded slightly closing her eyes. "Go wait in the car."

The scene had been scrubbed of all evidence of the horrific event. Lecter had taken Elia back home and was burning her outfit while she sat in the shower watching the boy's blood wash away down the drain, but back in the alley someone stood with a grin upon their face.

He laughed and began to clap a bit. "Oh deary, it seems my little angel needs me more than ever." Elia's Uncle said taking out a cigarette. "Perhaps I should pay her a visit." The Monster had found her.
