Chapter 6

Two days before Christmas, and the druids just kept handing out mission after mission while everyone else prepared for the holiday season. Callaghan had yet to regenerate, which was a testament to my magical skills. He may have been one of the strongest Knights ever born into the Order, but even he had to regrow from injuries.

I watched the Fae coming and going from their notorious nightclub that seemed to draw the dangerous and unwanted creatures of nightmares into their doors. Vlad was known for enforcing laws and rules by wards, and my prey was about to enter his domain. That meant I was about to walk inside and break his laws, but hey, a girl had to eat, right?

Druids only paid when you finished a mission, and I’d been hunting these creatures down for weeks. They fed on children or innocent women and were notorious for leaving them in disarray, or on display with pieces cut off of them. The last one I’d found had her tongue removed, and branches in her arm sockets. They’d used a rope to string her up by her neck, leaving her to stand on her tiptoes or hang to death. They’d known she’d die, she’d have had a fighting chance with arms, but without, she faced certain death.

That had been two days ago and since then; I’d not slept or eaten while I hunted them down. I stared at the doors of the club as I studied the wards, biding my time as I waited for the creature and his cronies to show. This was where they’d picked the last three victims up, and since they were Fae, it only made sense that they were creatures of habit.

The issue with it being at this club was the Guild castaways were inside of it. They were oblivious to what those inside did while they pretended the world was right when everything was wrong. I got it; they had been through hell, and no matter what anyone did, you couldn’t close the holes that stretched daily, letting everything imaginable slither through.

Well, they couldn’t, but I could. Not that I wanted to, not with enjoying killing those who prayed on weaker species. I reveled in it. It let me test my boundaries without harming innocents. The druids had rules which I was forced to follow, and the Order had even more rules than they did. I had no limits other than being able to be killed, which sucked, but I only ended up dead if I failed. I wasn’t about to fail and end up pushing up daisies.

My prey strode up to the doors of the club, hooting and hollering as they strutted with the joy of hunting their victims. Remaining in the shadows, I lingered as the doors opened, revealing some of what was inside. It included Callaghan, who sat at the bar talking to Vlad, King of Vampires. Great!

I swallowed hard, considering my next move. To get to my prey, I had to drop my glamour to hold focus while fighting the wards and them.
