CHAPTER NINE
Tiffany stood in the back of the butcherâs shop, rolling her eyes at the pleading man. âLook I have no time for this, I have shit to do. I have territory to expand. Give me the money and the blood. If you canât then I have to do my thing.â She was a tall woman, her long fangs touching the edge of her pointy chin. She moved her mouth a certain way, and the man in front of her saw blood trickle down her chin and onto her black top. Then the cuts slowly began to heal. He was properly terrified now.
âPlease, donât take him. All the blood is packed up and done, I am just a bit short this month.â The butcher was holding the door behind him. If Tiffany wanted she could lift him and rip the door off its hinges but she liked to see him beg.
âBut I need a new toy, and I can get one for free here.â Tiffany mimicked a small child. âWhy exactly are you short anyway? You have a lot of yummy things here.â
âBusiness has been bad, people donât come here anymore. Because of the sign.â
âI would believe you, and just break something in retaliation; you have a lot of breakable things here. But now you donât even have enough blood to tie us over. How do I know youâre not selling to someone outside the territory? I canât have that, you will make us look bad. Weak.â Tiffany walked forward.
âBut you know I havenâtâ been selling to anyone yes? I turned away that Asian chick!â The butcher blurted out.
Tiffany stopped. âWhat Asian chick?â
âThe one that came over looking for blood. She bought a bloody lamb leg instead. I figured she was sent as a scout from another gang. You never send humans for your food.â The butcher straightened up. âI can give you a description if you promise you wonât hurt my boy.â
Tiffany sighed. âOkay, describe the woman.â If someone was trying to take their territory, Mickey might be interested in retaliating. They could find the human and make her tell them who made her go there. And then she could have a snack. The man described a tall woman with brown hair that looked reasonably put together, with odd mannerisms and cattish attitude. She picked the lamb leg with a lot of care and after stayed away from the shop but walked by it a few times.
âNow are you leaving?â The butcher asked when Tiffany took the blood in one hand and weighed the packet. Animal blood was a necessity at times, you couldnât feed on humans a lot without moving a lot. And the humans you could feed on were usually a bit boney.
âSure, I just need to pick up something else.â Tiffany grabbed the butchers head and sank her teeth into his neck. He twitched for a bit, but he fell down soon enough, and she could sit on top of the body as she drained him completely.
