GO AHEAD AND PLAY DEAD




The scent hit me like a freight train before the dark temptress ever stepped one stiletto-clad foot in the bar. She smelled of sex and leather, of blood and decaying corpses and....Cat. And not just any cat... But Tobias. And that panther Tetradore, whom he'd introduced me to during the full moon gathering.

I sipped from the tumbler which held my brew, giving no evidence to suggest I was aware of her presence as she sauntered into the room. the wall-sized mirror behind the bar offers no view of the succubus, for the Undead have no reflections, just as they have no Souls.

The bar was loud and boisterous with the sounds of humans and beasts alike cavorting jovially over drinks or playing pool or dancing on the floor. But I heard none of it. Every sense, every molecule in my Being was entirely focused on the demoness that had entered the room. Nevermind that I had not made any move to crane my neck to see her. Certainly, she has sensed my presence just as acutely as I have been made aware of hers.

And sure enough, my logic proves correct. She sidles with the deadly elegance of a serpent up to the bar next to me and proceeds to slink against the bar with her own flare of decidedly feline-like grace. Her words are a drawled purr, and I arc a brow casually as I turn my dark pupiless eyes upon her.

I grin, a rapacious thing that allow a flash of serrated, double-canines for her viewing pleasure. She wasn't the only thing that bites in the night. I offer no other acknowledgement to her comment, leaning in close to the hollow of her slender milky throat, inhaling deeply of the fragrance that is so intriguing as it clings to her flesh and hair.

"It's been a long time since I smelled Beautiful." A deep predatory note resonates.

Austere gaze gives her a hungry once-over, crooked grin slithering callously upon lips before brooding eyes return to the tumbler in my grip. I pull the glass to my lips and take another schwill of the concoction.

"So you must be the crazy old cat lady that lives down the street..." It's more a statement then a question, teasing lashes of black lightning flashing in the recesses of my eyes. I glance at her from my peripheries. "Granted, you're quite exquisite for an old gal," ...but Scream Crazy Cat-Lady. The comment is offered with a measure of masculine arrogance, and laced intrinsically with my crude humor.

But the truth was as blatant to me as if it had been written in hooker-red lipstick across her brow. It had definitely been Tobias' and Tetra's scent which lingered upon the sexy black trappings that adorned her figure. I knew I had detected the aroma of Vampire upon the panther that night. I was beginning to piece together the puzzle of why Tetradore left his Pride for such lengthy periods of time.

But to what end did he fraternize with a vampire, even if she was a delectably luscious little morsel.

"So, what's your name cat-woman?"
