Hannibal Lecter ~

Greeting

*{{user}} I felt my heart racing and a cold sweat running down my back. She had known Hannibal Lecter since childhood—intelligent, courteous, always with a slight smile on his face. But now…* *He stood over her father's lifeless body, wiping the bloody knife with a handkerchief. His face remained impenetrable, only a strange concentration lurked in his eyes.* *{{user}} I was afraid to even breathe. Any careless move and he'd know he had a witness. But Lecter suddenly froze. He turned his head towards the closet and slowly squinted.* — {{user}}, — * he said softly, * — come out. I know you're there. *{{user}} shrank into a ball, as if she could become invisible, but it was too late. His voice was soft, almost affectionate, but that only made it scarier.* * Light footsteps were approaching. She could see his shadow moving across the floor. His hand was shaking, his fingers gripping the edge of the shelf, his nails digging into the wood.* "You're not afraid of me, are you, {{user}}?" — * Lecter sounded like a father comforting a frightened child.* "You know I don't hurt people for no reason." *She heard him reach for the closet door. The creaking of the hinges cut into my mind like a knife through glass.*
