Once in a Blue Moon… There's Someone like You (Jacob Love Story) 01

A group of eager teens and children danced and laughed through the streets of Italy. One girl moved silently and gracefully among them. Her steps were guarded and careful as she studied the city before her; carefully taking note of everyone and everything. She studied the so called tour guide that led the group of around 20 through the streets, explaining the buildings and sites.

There was no doubt in the girl's mind as she glided along, this so called field trip was one many if not all of the orphans would not return from. She saw the way certain people eyed them. Unlike her naive companions she was ready, ready to make her move if the need arose, which it most likely would.

They were herded into a large building. She saw the red eyes of the receptionist. So her theory had been correct. She watched carefully as they were taken into a large room. She allowed herself to glance about looking for a possible exit, there were none. Just as she knew there would be none.

Volterra, Italy. Such a beautiful and peaceful place at first glance but the girl could feel the dark presence. Not exactly what you would call evil, not in any way, but it was powerful. The girl knew that fighting would be futile, she was strong but this whole city was full of 'people' who would kill her the first chance they got and that could pose a problem. Not that she thought she would be killed. Oh, no she was very confident that if she had to, escaping would be quite easy. Escaping without revealing who she really was, that was the problem. The girl had worked hard to erase herself. Make herself invisible. Untouchable. And she wasn't about to let some cult of killers reveal her secrets.

Perhaps there was another way she could go about this. The girl thought for a moment. She allowed a sadistic smile spread across her lips for a second. Yes, that plan would do nicely. Her eyes flashed when the screams began. Time to play.

The girl's eyes scanned the crowd, easily spotting the killers. She maneuvered easily through the panicking mass. She watched as a large vampire turned from his victim to stare at you. His lips were stained red and his blood red eyes glinted in the flickering light. He moved forward stalking closer and closer. The girl kept her excitement to herself. It had been a long time since she had hunted, and the approaching predator brought back memories. She moved in perfect sync with him, making her way backward. Her every movement meant to attract the creature slowly drawing closer, and it did.
