Chapter 14: The Angel of Death and a World of Shadows

Alix and Keep tracked Este’s scent to a quaint little house in the French Quarter right around the witching hour, something Alix found mildly amusing all things considered. She left Keep to watch for any unexpected company while she broke the lock and let herself inside. Este wasn’t home; Alix would’ve been able to sense the souls of anyone inside, but she was alone. The house was surprisingly cozy, but then Alix didn't spend a lot of time in the homes of serial killers so she wasn't sure what to expect to begin with. There were small shrines for certain Greek gods, including one with statues representing each of the pantheon gods, though Artemis was curiously missing, likely removed after their first meeting.

They say not to meet your heroes after all.

The thought earned a quiet laugh before Alix moved further inside.

She smiled: this time, she would be the one laying a trap.
