The world slept as Aria hunted down whatever killed those girls. She wasn't exactly sure it was a monster, too many inconsistencies with rougarou, but it could be something else, something not human. Either way if was human she could always send an anonymous tip to the authorities if it proved mundane. Aria wondered why Dane's doctor had not helped track down such killers. She was surely capable of blocking her abilities, which could really mean only one thing. She was Sentient.
A Sentient sat on the police force just interviewing perps. They could put her to so much better use if they only knew her abilities. Maybe that's why the she'd run across the godling officer. They were putting together a different kind of task force? An interesting concept. If only the Atharim were so progressive. Aria sighed.
The trail was much easier to find as she went through the streets. There were less and less people and soon the houses and buildings were so far apart, Aria wondered if this was still even considered Moscow.
The street lights were no more, Aria walked by the light of the moon alone. Very few cars passed her direction and the only sounds she heard were those of nature. Farther and farther from the city she walked. It was going to be hell getting home.
A house with a single light on drew into view. At the very edge of her senses she could feel the hunger of this creature. Aria pulled out her sword and walked cautiously up to the picket fence. It was dilapidated and the paint looked old and faded, and parts were devoid of any paint at all. There were animals around, they were a presences, but no real emotional output unless they really got excited. Aria opened the gate slowly to avoid creaking. Aria could see a few goats asleep by a lean-to and a dog paced by the door. It looked at her and gave a soft rumble.
Aria moved slowly, and the dog followed her through the yard. When their paths crossed Aria held out her hand and the dog sniffed it. And when it gave no air of commotion Aria scratched the straggly thing behind the ears.
There were two people, the one upstairs was full of evil, there really was no other way to put it. Aria caught a glimpse of him through the kitchen window, he was cooking a meal with a headset on his head.
But it was the one who was farther in the house that drew Aria's attention. The fear, the pain, the worry, it drew her. The man inside was busy. Aria started looking for another way in. Someplace to see what was happening inside. This was not a monster, and she knew she should leave, but the one inside made Aria reckless.
