A knot of ice formed in Jack's gut. He heard Ghost grunt and glanced over to see that the huge pirate had become more alert, head slightly cocked, eyes peering incisively at Kikono.

"The Wendigo," Ghost said. "You're talking about the Wendigo. It kept them away from this area?"

Jack held his breath.

"Yes," the old Tlingit said, dark wisdom and sadness in his eyes. "The Wendigo. The cursed man. It killed many men and women and children itself, of course. It kept mostly to its own territory, but now it is gone. The blood spirits — what you call vampires — they know only hunger. Now they have the freedom to kill as many as they can, feeding on the blood of some and tearing out the spirits of others to make them hollow . . . to make room for more of their kind to come into our world."

A terrible weight rested on Jack's shoulders. His stomach twisted in revulsion. He had killed the Wendigo himself, destroying a monster . . . only to make way for an even greater evil to spread its wings.

Ghost must have read his mind. The former pirate captain clapped him on the shoulder. "You know what they say, Mr. London. Nature abhors a vacuum."

If he'd had one of Callie's guns in that moment, loaded with silver bullets, Jack might happily have shot Ghost Nilsson dead. Instead, all he could do was turn away from the grinning pirate and stride from the cell, and then from the jail.

It seemed there were always more monsters to kill.
