Fifteen - A Ripper on the Inside

Kayla was never in love with Radu, but she did like him. When she spurned his attempts to get her in the sack, he wasn’t the least put off, like Canadian men, many of whom seemed to think they were God’s gift to women. She never had to suggest that they “just be friends,” because after she said no to his shameless advance, he became a friend as naturally as if they were kids or seniors, and sex wasn’t an issue.

Sure, he always made it obvious that if she changed her mind he was willing, and he never failed to miss an opportunity to let her know how attracted he was to her, but somehow there was no pressure, no sense that he was expecting her to cave. He talked about other women freely, asked her advice, and even followed it, like when she said he should stay away from Rachel because she had her eye on a different man, the man she would later marry.

Now, Kayla stood before Radu’s bound and naked body and had to judge his fate. The room stank of blood and excrement, and a subtle scent of rot promised a lot more to come if they didn’t bury the corpses today.

“We’ve got to kill him,” she said. “What choice have we got? You can’t let a ripper live.”

Mabruke had come when summoned, and Tevy and Elliot and some other woman were there, but the rest of the troops were using the dynamite to blow out the concrete blocks sealing the ground-floor windows. Occasionally, the ground under Kayla’s feet trembled, but the school was old and built on strong foundations during the beginning of the twentieth century. There was no fear that it would collapse as long as only the ripper fortifications were destroyed.

Tevy stared at one of the swinging corpses. He reached up and tore off the victim’s shirt, then carried it over to drape Radu’s lap, hiding his genitals and giving him a modicum of privacy.

“Can’t we let him go if he promises not to feed on humans?” asked Tevy.

Kayla wished it could be so, and she understood Tevy’s need. He must feel responsible for not shooting the human traitors and saving Radu when he had a chance. But this was no time to be soft.

“And what the hell would he feed on then?” she asked, trying not to sound angry and failing.

Tevy met her eyes and she read an accusation in his expression. “Maybe you should ask Joyce,” he said. “Maybe she or her friend up at St. John’s knows the answer to that.”

Kayla swore that her heart skipped a beat. Did he know about Bertrand Allan? Had he seen him that night in the woods?

“Stop,” she said, before he could reveal the secret in front of everyone. She pleaded with her eyes, and Tevy gave a short nod. He would keep it secret, but Kayla sensed that he would be expecting explanations later.

“She’s right.” Radu’s voice had strengthened, and that wasn’t a good sign.
