Day 302 - Sophie IV

 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.”
