Sophie IV
Matthew Ryan Fischer
Sophie found her at the altar, drawing a circle of blood on the
floor. She looked like a servant woman, but it was obvious the spirit was in
charge. Captain Hawkins, or what was left of him, stood nearby, waiting.
Ariadne and Darius were near but searching other buildings. They might
be close, but they were too far to go and find. There was no time. The Spectre
needed to be stopped before she had time to complete whatever spell she was
working on.
She had no supplies to cast a spell. All Sophie had was her dagger.
She would have to get close to use it.
The Spectre began chanting. Captain Hawkins seemed affected.
Sophie approached.
When she stabbed the Spectre, a green energy was released. The
working woman was dead. Captain Hawkins collapsed to the floor. The green
energy dissipated, but Sophie wasn’t sure if she was truly gone.
“What…? What happened?” asked Captain Hawkins.
“You’ll okay. Everything is right now.”
“And Lady Handbrook?”
Sophie didn’t have an answer.
“We shall go look for the others. Hopefully the darkness has
passed and this night will finally be over.”
