James POV
Ahhh... nothing likethe smell of another lost soul in the morning. That one had been too easy. I smiled to myself as I recalled the look on poor young Jenifers face as she was dragged under water. The girl had had a boating accident when she was young which left her traumitised of water. Too easy.
I pulled my red cloak tighter round myself as I walked out of Jenifers dream, through the dream gate and into the soul room. All the souls I had trapped were in this room, and they liekd to make it really frosty in here as they knew I had to walk this way on my way to my fathers throne room.
"Evn'n ma lord" called out Jerry when I entered the room. He was very black country and always wore a flat cap. "Jerry, who am I terrifying the life out of tonight?" I smiled. Jerry was my father secretary and gave me my assignments. "This here lass" Jerry drawled as he handed me a small file. " Names 'a' Truth Spinner. Age of 'a 15. Liv's on Runner's end wit' her siblin's Lies, short for Lisabell, Harmony an' Justice, nickname for Justin"
I frowned "Jerry, are you sure this is correct, Runner's end is a alleyway in London, there are no houses there"
"Aye" said Jerry winking " that's cus the wee lass an; them liv' behin' the dumpster. Strays right enough. Ur boss-man wants the ens tied up so ta speak"
I nod. This should be easy. I look at the picture clipped to the edge of the file. It's of a tall, lanky girl with soulful grey eyes, a dirt smugged face and a tangle of short brown hair. If she was cleaned up she'd be rather pretty.
Sorry about this Truth Spinner, it's nothing personal.
I head back to the gateway of dreams. Here we go again.
