I wanted him to
follow. At this point I knew he wanted a victim for tonight. If it wouldn’t be
me, it would be some poor woman. I couldn’t let that happen. Once in the
elevator I pushed for my suite’s floor. My pulse skipped. I’d wait for him
there.
As the doors
opened I stepped out of the elevator and inhaled deeply. He’d be up in about a
minute. The hall was empty. I allowed myself a quick peak into the following
minutes to make sure no one would show up beside the two of us. Allison would
take about 45 minutes to come up. I had enough time.
I stood there,
facing the elevator doors, and began the invocations. I had quite a few options
as far as spirits went, but I rarely used them. Tonight, I called for the soul
nippers. They were tiny, vicious things that hungered for soul energy. The most
efficient way to make a living creature disappear. The nippers materialized out
of the floor, screeching and moaning.
Now all I needed
was a target to mark. And he’d arrive right…now. The doors binged open. He
walked out, grinning at me.
“I knew you were
sweet on me, honey,” he crooned.
I smiled and
mentally drew the target symbol on his chest. The nippers launched at him. He
opened his mouth, wanting to scream, but one of the nippers slid down his
throat and blocked his vocal chords. They shot through him, screeching with
glee. Each time they went through, a bit of his soul was consumed. In a minute
or so he fell to the floor, eyes wide and face contorted in pain. I didn’t feel
much pity. He’d put his victims though a lot worse.
Autopsy would
show he’d died of a stroke. I took the phone out of my purse and hit speed
dial.
“911, what’s your
emergency?”
“I think someone’s
having a seizure or something. Hotel…”
