Thread: the pain of bloodlust

It was a Wednesday, and it had been a relatively long day for Dante, and he was glad when he was finally able to clock off from work. By the time he had finished work, the time was around 4am. He worked in a large warehouse, and not only had it been a long day for Dante, but it had also been a rather busy day too. The twenty year old had something of a small smile on his face as it finally came time for him to head off home. Dante stood at a height of 6ft2, and he had icy blue eyes and short and wavy jet black hair. His skin was tanned, and he had a slim, yet fairly muscular build due to the fact he liked to keep himself in shape. He wasnt actually sure what he was going to do when he got home though, but he figured that he would think of something. All he really wanted to do for the time being was to get home, and just relax. He had been at work for a little over twelve hours, and he was feeling rather tired now. Dante said his goodbyes to his workmates, and then after doing so, he proceeded to leave his work. After leaving his work, he made his way out into the parking lot and once out in the parking lot, he walked over to the parking spot where he had left his red and black mustang . He found it hard not to smile as he had walked over to his car. After all, it was his pride and joy. It was something he had saved up a long time to buy, and something he had his eye on for just as long. He felt over the moon when he had first brought it, and he took the best of care of it too. Pulling out the keys from his jacket pocket, Dante unlocked his car, opened the driver side door and climbed inside. After climbing inside, he closed the door and placed the keys in the ignition. Turning the keys in the ignition, the engine roared into life as he started up the car. Just like he normally would though, Dante sat and listened to the sound of the engine for a few minutes. He sat listening to the engine for a little while longer, but then decided that it was about time that he headed home. Turning on the CD player in his car, Dante shifted his car into gear and finally pulled out of his parking spot, and the parking lot soon afterwards. He had been glad to leave work, mainly because it had been such a long day, and Dante knew that he would be just as glad when he was finally able to make it home. However, he knew that the drive back home was going to be a long one, so he figured he would just enjoy the drive whist it lasted. As he was driving along the relatively empty roads, Dante started to feel hungry. He was going to ignore this feeling, but then he suddenly heard his stomach rumbling. Oh great. He muttered to himself. Maybe I should have got something to eat before I left work. He placed a hand over his stomach as it rumbled once more, keeping his other hand on the wheel as he continued driving towards his home. Oh well, its lucky theres a small town up ahead. I will just get something to eat there. He shrugged his shoulders a little bit before he pressed his foot down on the gas pedal just a fraction. His lips curled up into more of a smile as he felt the increase in speed, and Dante drove towards the small town he would normally have to pass through in order to get to his work. Of course, it wasnt the town that he lived in. Dante lived in the next town over, which was why the drive to his work was so long. Around twenty minutes later, Dante pulled into town so he could at least attempt to get himself something to eat. With how early it was in the morning, he knew that there wasnt going to be many places that were open. There was only one place he knew he would be able to get something to eat so early in the morning, and that was a hot dog cart that was usually around in the early morning. Dante stopped his car just by the hot dog cart and its owner, and he got out of his car. He walked over to the cart and looked to the owner with a small smile. Ill have the usual Carl. He pulled his wallet out of his pocket as the cart owner set about getting Dante his hot dog. Okay Dante, hot dog with onions and relish coming up. He finished making up Dantes hot dog and handed it to him just as Dante handed Carl the money for the hot dog. Thanks Carl, I will probably see you again the same time tomorrow morning. He put his wallet in his pocket as he took the hot dog from Carl. After doing so, he took a bite out of the hot dog as he walked back to his car and climbed inside once more. Pulling away from the hot dog cart, Dante started on his way out of the town, driving down the empty streets once again. Just as he had made it to the outskirts of the town, he saw something just up in the distance. From what he could tell, it looked to be another person, so Dante slowed his car down just a little bit as he drew closer to the person. However, as his car got closer to the person, it allowed him to see what kind of a state the person was really in. Dantes eyes widened when he saw the strange woman covered in what looked like dried blood. He bought his car to a stop and quickly flung open the door. Dante got out of his car and rushed around to the female who was a few feet in front of him. He had no idea what had happened to her, but it certainly didnt look good either way. There was a concerned look upon his face as he reached the woman a second or so later. Hey Miss, are you okay? You look like youve just come out of a warzone. I think we should get you checked out. He spoke in a serious, yet slightly concerned tone. There should be a hospital close by, or if you would prefer, I could take you to the police station. He paused for a moment to think this over, and then he nodded his head. Actually, I think that might be a better idea. Yes, Im going to take you to the police station. That way, you can tell them who may have done this to you. With that said, he gently wrapped his hand around her wrist and he started to lead her towards his car. As soon as he reached his car, he opened up the passenger side door and allowed her to get in, and then after closing the door, he walked around the front of his car and climbed in. He closed his door and shifted his car into gear before pressing his foot down on the gas pedal once more.
