IC: Donovan Durand
Donovan was a tall blond man with acquiline nose, sharp peircing blue eyes, and an animal intensity over him barely leashed by the exertion of his will alone. Yet now he was keeping that subdued, hidden underneath the farce of the disguise he wore. He was dressed in a grey Armani suit, a rolex watch, finely crafted glasses, all worth exorbitant sums of money. His attire, his manner all screamed rich wallstreet banker and someone completely out of place in the Manhattan neighborhood slum he trolled for his next meal. Here and there he looked back nervously as if fearful of someone following him. In truth he knew exactly where everyone was.
He could smell them, the had a man casually leaning against a streetlight tracking him, The alley his prey called home was just up ahead. He knew for he had stalked them last night.
It was late at night in New York, the city that never slept. People were up and keeping the streets alive with pedestrians and traffic, but not in this neighborhood, this was deserted, dark, silent like the black forests of his homeland so very long ago. This city was a jungle indeed with building instead of trees, and complete with pack hunters like the wolves that had haunted the wilderness of his youth.
The alley was down the street near the intersection marking the border of another gang's territory. Once he reached the alley he'd stumble and "accidentally" drop his wallet casting his lure for his prey to come to him.
He sought out scum like drug dealers, gang bangers, and gun runners. Not for any altruistic motivation, but for purely pragmatic reasons. Donovan had found that if he preyed upon these criminals few of the human authorities cared to pose a manhunt for a blood drinking monster like him. It would have been a different story if he seduced virgins, or upstanding members of their society. Drinking their more unsavory elements of their population invited them to just look the other way. Pragmatism. The human police would probably suspect the neighboring gang.
He headed for the alley maintaining his facade of the lost yuppie. Then someone walked around the curb of the street and stopped in front of the alley looking this way and that, as if she was the one truly lost.
Donovan gritted his teeth as the gang emerged in the darkness drawn by more enticing prey presenting itself to them than Donovan could compete with. soon they had her surrounded eyeing her up and down like hungry animals. He moved cautiously behind a nearby parked car waiting to see if he could find some way to take advantage of this woman's presence.
