Hannibal was getting ready to go and try to find some other alley to lurk in (this one was distressingly vampire free – no he wasn’t going to think about what it said about his life that he thought distressingly vampire free about some place) when things took a turn. Some vamp came out of nowhere and tackled some blonde chick.
“Out of all the alleys, in all the city, you had to try and make a meal out of someone in front of mine.” That sounded more suave in his head- because in his head he said it as he stood in one smooth movement. In reality he struggled a bit to his feet because it was a bit chilly out, and his muscles were cramping a bit.
He got his stake ready. “Someone wants some coal for the holidays.” Hannibal lunged towards the woman and the vampire. But the vampire wasn’t alone, it had brought a friend – who tackled Hannibal from the side knocking him down to the ground.
