Goodbye (Bringing her home)

Goodnight

"Come on babe?"

he asked as he held her hands, the beaten up car that he drove now parked in front of the driveway that she had asked him to bring her back to, such a cute girl, all alone at the mall and he had to be the gentleman and step in and offer to take her home.

"Come on?"

She repeated his words, the look on her face showed a little confusion as to what he had meant and she furrowed her brow to further empathise with the lack of understanding that she was trying to convey to him.

"Are you not going to invite me in?"

He asked, his voice lowering a little to try and put this sweet young girl at ease, he could not believe his luck when he pulled into the parking lot of the multiplex and saw her standing by the bus station, a bus station he knew that had seen it's last bus for the night at least 30 minutes earlier.

"invite you in? is that something I should do?"

The words spoken by her like some innocent lamb, if he had not known better, he would have thought she was trying to seduce him and not him try to get into her panties and whatever else was on offer.

"of course, that is something you should do, I mean come on, you would have had to walk home, but I was kind enough to bring you back and gas ain't cheap"

The look of confusion on her face turned to a look of understanding and she touched the small handbag that hung at her side and gripped it tightly with one hand and meekly bit into her bottom lip.

"Well, I could take your details and send you some money to pay for the gas, you have been very nice and all"

Her words were delivered very quietly as she seemed embarrassed by the whole series of events that brought her to this moment and now just seemed to want to get out of the car and flee up the driveway to what he assumed was her home.

"Or you could just invite me in for a drink? you know a little nightcap to, you know, cement our new friendship?"

His body easing closer to her now as he spoke the words, he could see the trepidation in her eyes, it made him think of a rabbit in the headlights of a speeding car and its inevitable fate.

"Oh, yes, yes, I could do that. I think I have some wine from Christmas?"
This made him chuckle at both her words and his sense of victory as she finally understood what he wanted and now he was one step closer to making this an even better night for him.

"That's great"

He suddenly said and leaned away from her as his hand moved to unbuckle the seatbelt that held him in place, the sound of his car door opening a moment later he stepped from the vehicle and watched as she followed suit and got out of the passenger side door.

The ground of her pebbled driveway crunched underfoot as he moved beside her and they made their way up the walkway towards the old-looking house, the door covered in cobwebs that seemed appropriate for this Halloween night.

"I hope, you like red"

She said as they reached the door and she began to fumble in her small bag, the sound of a set of keys being heard as she pulled them free from where they sat inside of the bag.

"What?"

He asked a little confused by her sudden words, the street was very quiet and her words seemed to break the strangeness of that, dark and quiet he thought to himself as he looked back to where his car was sitting at the edge of the curb.

"Wine, I think it is a bottle of red wine"

She said back to him as she slid the keys into the lock of the door and turned them the sound of the bolt could be heard moving into an open position and she pushed the door and it opened up.

"Yeah, Red is great babe, I love red"

He said and began to follow her into the hallway beyond the door, his right hand now sliding behind his back and to the waistband of his jeans and touching something, his foot going back to push the door closed with the flat of his foot.

"Oh good"

She offered in return as the door closed with a slamming sound, his effort to close it was a little too aggressive, but it did the trick and the door locked into place once more as he pulled the knife he had tucked into the back of his jeans out and brought it around to where her back was to him.

"I have something for you"

He said as he gripped the serrated-looking combat knife in his right hand, the blood lust now rising inside of him as he looked at the back of her head and felt his pulse begin to quicken at the rising excitement he now felt.

"Oh, you do?"

She said excitedly as she turned to look at him, he loved this moment, he loved that look of terror in their eyes, the fear that would form just before he struck and then he would have the fun he sought.

"Yes, I do"

He said and brought the knife back and then froze in confusion, the look on the face of this pretty young creature was not one of fear, no not at all, he could see the broad smile on her face and he did not understand why?

"is that for me?"

She asked sweetly as she looked up at the knife he held in his hand then reached up with her left hand and grabbed the wrist of the man before placing her other hand on his chest and pushing him back against the door with a thud.

"What in the hell"

The man yelped in pain as she felt the grip on his wrist begin to tighten, he struggled to push back but the strength of this young girl was not natural, it could not be, the sense of pain forcing him to drop the blade to the ground as she held him in place against the door.

"I thought I had missed dinner tonight?"

She said and her smile broadened to reveal a set of sharp fang-like teeth that made him scream in terror at the image before him.

"Well, goodnight and thank you for bringing me home"

These were the last words he heard before she lunged forward and bit deeply into the side of his neck and the predator became the prey.
