He crouched in the darkness on a nearby roof. In only a matter of minutes his prey would be in his sites. The night air was cool despite it was a warm spring evening. It only added to his enjoyment. Vega felt exhilarated and could barely contain his anticipation. He looked through his binoculars observing the furniture inside the apartment across from him.
A soft wind brushed his long hair; it made him think of her touch. He took the binoculars from his eyes and looked at his watch. "She will be home any minute now," he sighed to himself. Then as if on cue the lights in the apartment were switched on. "At last!" He watched as she put her keys on the table and let her long silky hair down. The show was beginning; he sat back and watched. She took off her shoes and blazer; then she went into her bedroom. The woman did not know someone was watching her every move in her apartment. He watched as her hands ran all over her body. She unbuttoned her blouse, then slipped out of her skirt and stockings. It was only a matter of time when the show will be over, he thought. By now the woman was only wearing lacy black underware. She then threw her hair over one shoulder and turned to face the window. The curtain closed leaving only her silhouette. "You are simply beautiful, Miss Xiang," Vega licked his lips.
The game was afoot; all he had to do was watch for his opportunity. Finally she walked out of her bedroom wearing a pair of deep purple silk pajamas and her hair was tied back in a ponytail. Vega was please with her clothing selection. The telephone rang; she hesitated to answer, but she picked it up. Vega could not hear the conversation, but he knew it was from someone she had an intimate relationship with. She smiled and twisted a loose strand of hair between her fingertips. Her free hand reached for the remote and turned on the television. She turned off the lights and sat on the sofa. It because obvious to Vega that she was not going to end her conversation anytime soon.

She hung up the telephone and walked over to the refrigerator. Vega hoped she was going to select the drink he had laced with tranquilizers. She had. He knew all of Chun Li's habits after watching her for a month. Her biggest habit was that she would always relax with a cup of herbal tea after she came home from work. Vega had deduced that she would select a pitch of herbal ice tea since it was a warm evening. She poured a tall glass of the tea. "Soon, very soon my lovely," he whispered to her from afar."

An old B&W movie came on television. Chun Li loved B&W movies; she adored the classics the most, but no movie could phase her tonight. She was stressed out from work and most of all she missed Ryu. He left her a month ago to enter a tournament away in Japan, but took time to call her every now and then. Fighting was his life, but she really wondered what part she played in his life. Her questions were only answered with more questions when she tried to answer them herself. Chun Li knew that she did not fully understand him, but she loved him with all of her heart. She always believed that love was the most important thing in life, like the love of a parent and child, brother and sister, and between man and woman. A tear almost streamed down her face; both her parents were dead; she was an only child and Ryu treated her second to everything in his life.
The movie's dramatic music brought her out of her thoughts. Her drink was getting warm. She took a sip. It was a bit watery since the ice was melting, but there was nothing out of the ordinary about it. She then found the remote and turned off the television; the movie was not interesting her. By the door she retrieved her briefcase and poured over her files. She figured if she threw herself in her work she would not feel as lonely.
She was still stressed so she put on soothing music. Chun Li selected an imported Madonna CD from her Drowned World Tour. She then powered up her laptop then continued to read her files. After a half hour she was starting to feel tired. Her vision began to blur. The words in front of her started to jumble up and fly off the ends of the paper. Chun Li sat down the empty glass on her coffee table, without a coaster, something she rarely ever did. She fell back on the sofa; everything around her started to close in and fade to black.

The game has ended. He climbed off the roof and leaped onto the nearby fire escape of her apartment. Quickly he opened her balcony door, which she had unlocked to get air. The room smelled of lilacs. Vega had not noticed a bouquet of lilacs she had sitting on the table by the door. It was obvious that she tossed them aside as if they were nothing at all. "They are not worthy of you," he whispered over her. "You deserve only red roses because red is the color of passion. Lilacs are merely just pretty with no real purpose about them." Just then she started to stir; Vega did not know what to do. Gently he brushed her bangs out of her eyes. She then relaxed as if she yielded to his touch. Vega smiled; before him was his predator which became his prey. As she slept; she looked so innocent and angelic. Her beauty had impressed him for a little while. Now that the game was over, it was time for him to claim his prize.
He picked her up and flung her over his shoulder. Then he closed the balcony door and went down the fire escape to his car.

Author's note: I'm a dark writer, always has and always will be. Chapter 1 is short, but I promise the following chapters will not be. Oh yeah, as always give plenty of feedback. I'm a bit confused about the rating of this story; I have seen rated R movies with this kind of stuff in it, but it can also be NC17 since I do know what happens in chpts 2 & 3.
