Huntress - A Night World Novel - Book One

“Oh trust me Dan, it’s possible.” I close my eyes and all my other senses are getting more acute. “How about this? If you can get out of this alley without me catching you you’re free to go but if I catch you,” I smile and lick my lips, “then you’re supper. I’ll give you a three second head start.”
I sense him shaking and shake my head as I listen to his shoes slapping against the pavement. Some people don’t respect the rules.
I open my eyes and grin as I see him running as hard as he can and I just continue to stand there, wanting him to think he actually has a chance. When he’s about ten steps away from the end of the alley I run after him and in less than a second I have him in my arms. He screams and I slam him against the wall. His head hits and his eyes look dazed.
