Elle he name just before her personality seemed to blend with the one of her Shadewraith and all the pain stopped.

  -Fate has made me fade away. Sorry Angelie…my..-

  Slipping pletely into Elle’s body, the Shadewraith made her new body smile. “That is so fun. Yes, you keep struggling.” It tapped its lip real fast. “There is a little more to do before The Cross-Killer is killed by the hero.”

  Leaning over to pick up the rifle, the Shadewraith picked up the bandaged remains of the professor and grabbed a ade of bone. “Anthropologist.” It ughed and used the bao tie the body to the cross. Hefting it over her shoulder, the imposter toted the rge cross outside and to the designated pce that had been dug out hours before. “Look at that. Your kind is too stupid to see you pg the cross, Barbie.” The Shadewraith ughed and affixed the crucifix acc to its prior pn and headed back to the factory.

  “Now your turn, Noah.” The creature emuting Elle opehe door and walked to the captive and pulled the tape off his mouth. “Time for you to experience what I worked hard for you to remember st.” The Shadewraith raised one of her thin eyebrows. “Yes, Thank you.” She poked Noah’s belly. “You were instrumental in giving me a new body. Your reward is ing.”

  The shade picked up Noah and used the rings embedded in the man’s flesh and hung him on four hooks on the wooden crucifix and desigo pull on the rings. She dragged the st of her sacrifices to its location and made it face where the rescue crews were still w diligently to up the mess from earlier. When the cross was in poah howled in paiing the folks close by. “Perfect timing, fresh meat. You scream. You’ll still be dead before they free you.” Elle-wraith made her way back to the rooftop of the processing pnt and watched as paramedics attempted to save Noah. Using The Cross-Killer’s sniper rifle, Elle pnted a bullet between Noah’s eyes and ughed as the others ran for coodbye Noah.”

  Running downstairs to set up the se, the pretend Agent Miller pced the sniper rifle on the wooden dod wiped the on of fingerprints. Noting that she heard a bunch of footsteps ing from the woodline behihe Shadewraith took the time to py out a verbal se that they could all hear.

  “Patricia Heartwell, I am Special Agent Miller and I am pg you under arrest for the murder of at least sixteen people.”

  Throwing her voice like a ventriloquist, the emuted voice of Patricia came out perfectly. “I am not going anywhere with you agent.”

  -Bang! Crack!-

  Elle-wraith fired off a round from her assault rifle and tossed a big derbloto the water, making it sound like a body had fallen into the devilish water. Moments ter the police arrived on the se and Elle held up her rifle and badge. “Agent Elle Miller, I just killed The Cross-Killer. She was about to shoot me with that rifle. I had no choice.”

  “Perfect work Elle.” Deputy Director Powell responded. “The Killer was wanted dead or alive.” Sarah put away her service pistol and walked to Elle, and shook her hand. “Good work. Now let’s get you home a me talk to the press.” Sarah shook her head with a smile on her face, “I knew I was right by taking a you, Miller.”

  -Now the real work begins. I have a few days left in the month to finish what was started. Get the others to assist and we will have our vengeance.-

  The Shadewraith smiled and headed to her police cruiser. “Boss, if you don’t mind..” the beast paused and plopped in the car seat. “I have no i in the reporters, I would prefer to get this stench off of me.”

  Sarah giggled a bit and nodded, “Very well. I will see you in a few days. Take some time off a. Good work, Agent Miller.”

  Drawing on Elle’s memory about the vehicle, the shade went through the motions of turning off the emergency lights and shutting down all of the FBI equipment, before driving back towards its new home.

  -Don’t fet to take care of this shell. It needs food, water and exercise. Use Elle’s menus for takeout once back at her home.-

  The Shadewraith drove silently back to Elle’s apartment, all the while watg the moon rise in the distance. “It seems you were obsessed with a girl named Casey Rivers. This body needs rest, then we will follow up on that issue.”
