[Honor]

Luca felt himself drift seamlessly through the now thinning number of people on the streets. These people were the true prey of the city, scattering like mice the moment their environment changed. There was more fear in them than those who lived in the more upscale part of the city, but they also had more fire. These people wanted to live more than anything else. They would fight, do anything to see themselves saved. They made for much more amusing hunts.

What made him smile the most was how easily they counted him among the scared defenseless people of the city. In truth, he was the only threat they had no power against. Luca might find that pathetic if he didn't find it so hilarious.

Breathing in he let his sense wander. He felt like being picky tonight and would weight till he found the best smelling blood to hunt. He was deciding between a rather shifty 'business man' and a hot dog vendor when a new scent caught him.

It was unfamiliar. Someone new to this city. Luca grinned. He had better go give her a proper welcome. Following the scent he saw a girl walking through a narrow alleyway. She must have been taking a short cut to the nearby apartments. Idiot girl. She definitely had to be new to the city to walk home alone at night on this side of town.

Blending through the crowd Luca went down the same alley, following her. He waited for her to notice him walking behind her, for her to begin to fear.
