She stood surrounded by darkness shivering. She tapped her foot impatiently the sender of the letter she held tightly in her hand was already 20 minutes late. She was not the type to fool with, especially when it came to being on time. Subtle footsteps could be heard from not far off, she ignored them believing it was only in her mind. She glanced at the letter once more
Dearest Evelynn, Meet me in Melladin, on the bridge at 10 PM sharp, do not be late. Sincerely An Unknown Friend.
She rolled her eyes. "don't be late my a**" she mumbled to herself as she was about to walk off. She turned to find a man was standing there a wide smirk on his face.
"Good to see you've decided to come. Terribly sorry for being so horribly late. I was er.. tied up in a different matter" He said, his voice was cool and calm. The mystery that lined it made shiver run down Evelynn's spine. She Shivered once more. "M'dear, you should have worn a jacket, it tends to get quite cold at this time" he said a smile still on his face. He was obviously just pleased that she had arrived.
"so, what exactly is it that you want?" Evelynn asked bewildered, she continued to shiver and refused to take the man's coat when he gestured to it.
"I want you to come with me.. I've heard you are by far the most talented when it comes to the capture of demonic spirits. And boy do I have a doosy for you." The man took a step closer as he said this. His face became more illuminated by the dim lighting of the bridge. He had fairly even features, though his nose was slightly crooked. He also had a large gash along his left cheek, it was lined with dried blood. It seemed as though he had been in a fight recently. "so..?" he concluded.
"so.. you've sent me a letter telling me to meet you here.. why couldn't you have just called. It would have saved time.. You do.. realize that right?" she said arching an eyebrow.
"you don't understand, where we're going there is not a single telephone anywhere. Hell, there's barely paper and a pen. I was lucky to have been able to send that letter." He said, his smile fading.
"oh..well..Exactly who are you?" Evelynn said, her tone of voice was somewhat rude, however that was her usual tone.
"Oh dear, how rude of me.. I am William Malcom Hindes.. though please call me Will." he said holding a hand out for Evelynn to shake.
Evelynn hesitated for half a second then shook the mans hand. "so, what are we dealing with here?" She said
