She started giggling. The sound was muffled, what with her face pressed to the wall, but he could feel her shoulder shaking and hear the slightly hysterical sounds of her laughter. He pulled her head back roughly.
"What are you laughing at? Are you so brave you can laugh in the face of death?"
She laughed harder. He could make out words, forced out through the giggles.
He was less than pleased. He felt uncertain and awkward, for the first time ever. He'd never had this reaction before; he was used to stark, helpless terror, and this woman, this girl, this.. animal.. was laughing at him, HIM, the High Street Slasher.
He listened carefully, picking out the disjointed words as she panted them between gales of laughter.
"You... you sound like something out of a B-grade horror film.... watch Hannibal much? Ahahahaha...."
She made no sense. He realised with relief that her terror of him had driven her mad. He hadn't lost his touch. Women in this era must simply have a far weaker psyche than he was used to.
He released his grip on her warily. She was showing no inclination to fight him, and he wanted to fully appreciate the depths of her fear-induced insanity.
She smiled at him, laughter just below the surface. "Well, that was a little unorthodox as a pickup line, but I've always appreciated a man who could make me laugh."
He stared at her. "Do you not understand? I am the terror in the night. I am the One Who Walks on Silent Feet. I have come to rend your soul from your flesh and - "
She burst out laughing again, wiping tears of mirth from her eyes. "You are priceless! Who put you up to this? Was it Dan? It was Dan, right? Damn, this is too fucking much! Sophia is going to love you. She's into that whole crappy horror film thing, too. Do you want to come back to mine for a drink? It's the least I can do after all the effort you put into this."
Whyle was finding himself in an unfamiliar place. He was confused and lost and nothing was making any sense to him.
He followed her as she turned and walked swiftly down the alley. He'd been overwhelmed by the speed of her chatter and was, for the moment, as meek as a lamb.
_________
"Sophia! Come meet my friend Reggie! He's a laugh riot!"
The girl - Meredith, he'd found out - turned to him and smiled. "Can I get you a drink? There's a nice white already open."
Whyle nodded, still finding words difficult. This was unreal, insane. This was not supposed to happen to him. He was used to being feared and reviled, not laughed at and treated like an honoured guest by his victims.
He followed her into the kitchen, more from a need to reassert himself than anything. He watched her bustling around, fetching glasses, and he spoke in that low, silky murmur that never failed to make his prey shiver in combined lust and terror, "When I open you with my teeth, when you bleed like Christ on the cross, will you scream for me?"
He jumped when he heard applause behind him. He turned to see a dark haired girl - Sophia, he assumed - clapping wildly, grinning form ear to ear.
"That was perfect! The tone, the words, everything! What movie is that from?"
He looked at her. He looked at Meredith. He shook his head and walked back to the living room.
He needed to sit down.

I like the premise but I think you failed to make Wyle "over the top" enough to justify that kind of reation initially. Afterward i think it was fine. Over all this is a small complaint about a overal great story.

I love you. I'm going to eat your face.
In a totally sexual, non-cannibalistic fashion, of course.

I heard a chick say 'I think I'll like it here' before. She had my cock in her hand and was guiding it into her ass.
Needless to say, I practically raped her and forgot her name the very next day.

I like the way the track of this has changed from the first episode.
I too wish it was going to last longer, but I am desperate for the final part.

Hey, isn't that the pile of shoes from Mike's madman's house?
On another note. Woo!

Mike - I know. The third part is already written... I'm starting to feel bad that it isn't longer and more detailed. I might, at a later date, pick it back up and expand on it, because it's got me kinda hooked.

This needs to be longer. The potential here is staggering.
I would rather the "victims" really be scared of him. I think I might know where you are going with this though.
Or not. I'm stupid like that sometimes.
I still like the way this is written.

Sorry, Kopesh... just one more of these to go. But I promise to come up with something else, just to keep you occupied over there, far away from everybody and everything you've ever loved.
I am SO GOOD at cheering people up!

Creep, one of the few reasons I keep posting is just to see what you're going to say to me next time.
Thanks. :)
