Just as she turned, she was lifted up by the front of her dress. She was pressed firmly against the wall of the restaurant. The pressure on her chest was hard, suffocating. Her voice was choked by fear, all she could do was whimper. "Such a delectable morsel, with no one to protect her." His voice was a dangerous caress.

She could not see who held her clearly. He was tall, broad. An expressionless white mask covered the top half of his face. Bright red eyes looked at her hungrily from that mask. He was covered in something long and pitch black, blending into the shadows behind the restaurant. He leaned close to her, she could feel his breath on her neck. "Such a pleasant fragrance... fear." He inhaled deeply. She squeaked in terror. Her entire body began to shake.

Claire struggled, both of her hands pulling at the arm holding her up, but his grip was vice-like. Her feet dangled in the air uselessly. She kicked out frantically, but did not hit anything solid. He trailed one finger down her cheek. She winced in pain. It was sharp, like a claw, but it did not cut her skin.

"Does little Red want to get eaten by the Big Bad Wolf?" His lips pulled back over his white teeth in a malicious grin. Claire's eyes widened. Sharp fangs glistened in the light. If they were fakes, they were well made. They matched perfectly with those bright white teeth. Claire had a terrible feeling that they were real.

Her heart thudded against her ribcage, panic and desperation rising inside of her, she began struggling wildly. He grabbed her chin in his hand, holding her head still. Claire scrunched her eyes tightly closed, terrified of what was coming next. She could feel the barest whisper of breath on her lips. "Scream." He whispered to her.

Her chest was tight, with fear and the pressure from his hand. She whimpered weakly. She breathed in short, frightened gasps. He released her chin. She felt those awful claws run over her neck and collarbone. "I want to hear you scream..." He hissed at her softly. There was a sudden tearing sound and she felt cool air on her chest. Her white training bra stood out against her bright red dress.

"I'll bet it sounds beautiful, enticing. I want to hear your terror." He attacked her then, sinking those bright fangs into the bare flesh above her bra, on the left side.

*** Beast had lost the shadow. He searched carefully for the last five minutes but could not find it. He could only think that it had somehow double-backed on him, going into one of the buildings perhaps.

It was done on purpose, something had led him away from the restaurant. Why?

A shrill shriek pierced the cold night air. He turned to it immediately, running swiftly over the rooftops.

*** The shadow was up on the roof of the restaurant. Below, people flooded the small area in the back. But Beast's eyes were on the dark form.
