Ravenna nodded at the bouncers and then opened the doors. The loud thumping of the bass from the music inside made Ravenna’s insides hum, she barely heard the complaints of the people in line waiting for their turn to enter the club. Straight away she headed for the bar, a familiar blonde head could be seen over the crowded venue and she grinned. “Well, I’ll be damned! Rave! Where the hell have you been? What’s it been, five- no six years?” Ravenna clapped hands with the blonde and nodded. “Emil; had to do another stint for that little incident back then.” Ravenna of course, was referring to the man she had kept captive for six days and tortured in her mother’s basement, drinking his blood until he was almost dry. The thing was she didn’t feel pain no matter how hard he tried and over time it bothered her to the point where she began to relish in the pain of others. Normally she didn’t keep her prey that long but there was something about this guy that made her feel immense pleasure watching him writhe with pain. “Damn bro, Mammon didn’t help you get out?” Ravenna gave a non-committal answer. “Just because he is the demon my ancestors made a deal with doesn’t mean he gives a shit.” The blonde nodded in understanding. “Point taken. Want a drink?” Ravenna nodded, “The usual.” She turned leaning against the bar, her elbows propping her up as she scanned the crowd.
There were a couple of men that piqued her interest. Now the problem was to figure out which one was worthy of her attention. Emil slid her a glass filled with liquor mixed with a thick red substance, having a soup-like consistency. “Thanks E, if you see your father don’t tell ‘em you saw me.” Ravenna finished her drink in one swallow, the familiar metallic taste was euphoric for her. She slammed the glass down, winked at Emil then stalked the dance floor. If luck had it, one of her targets would initiate the dance of the hunt and whichever of the two, would be the one fate wanted Ravenna to take.
