Vampire - 1, Invisible Man - 0 (ShoMeTeeth scene)
I think I dozed off I'm not sure for how long but the sound of the cell door opening wakes me instantly. The guards come inside with their stupid taser guns pointed at me, tossing me a set of cuffs. I put them on and they come up to check that they aren't loose then nudge me down the hall. I don't fight or say a single word of protest, hoping any kind of good behavior gets me Gabriel sooner.
They push me into a larger room, giving me the key to unlock my own cuffs and backing out. At first I believe I'm alone in the large room and then I hear it. A faint wheeze of breath and the increasingly louder pound of a human heart. There was someone in here with me and he was nervous. I could smell it now that I knew what to look for. They wanted me to catch the invisible man.
He rushes me before I'm done figuring everything out, knocking me down to the floor and using his weight to hold me down. Because of my size it's a good tactic except he made one mistake. He pinned me on my back which meant they must not have told him what I am. Instead of fighting to get away I wrap my legs tight around him, raising my head up to snap at his shoulder. My fangs sink in deep before he can struggle and suddenly he's not in control any longer, his ability disappearing with his preoccupation.
The muscle tears in my mouth as he tries to shove me away, pouring the blood in almost too quickly to swallow, much of it spilling out of the sides of my mouth. I drink deeply though and the man weakens on top of me. I can hear the guards outside becoming restless, the loud pulse in my ears stuttering just once and then I let go, shoving him off of me.
I get to my feet without saying a single word, putting my cuffs back on with an expression that would be perfectly benign and placid if not for the blood coating my neck and chin. I'm led back to my cell and that's when I decide to speak. "When do I get to see Gabriel?"
One of the guards uncuffs me with a disgusted look in his eyes. "Clean that shit off of your face and maybe we'll take you in an hour or two."
I manage to keep the anger in check, going to wash up in the small sink without any more of a reaction then gritted teeth. I won't give them any reasons to deny me my promised visit. For now.
