Chapter 11

Alex's POV
My eyes shot open. Where am I? I sat up slowly, I was laying on an uncomfortably soft canopy bed, said canopy was a see through green fabric. There were three blankets, one was blue, one was green, and the comforter was also green. Each blanket softer than the last. Now you'd think this would be nice, but it was t o o soft, so soft that it was unnerving. I looked around the room, it was nice enough, walls with a floral wall paper, nice wooden bookshelves and a dresser, plush dark green rug. Discomforting things like the fact that there were no windows took center stage in my mind though. There were two doors, one must be the exit. I tried the door farthest from the bed, locked. That's probably the way out then. I should check the other door though. I tried the other door and low and behold it opened, behind the door appeared to be a walk in closet. Clothes were hanging up but all of them looked like classic 18th century noblewoman's gowns. Small at the waist and large at the hips, the dresses had different floral patterns and lace detailing. That's an odd choice. I left the closest and continued to look around, that's when a loud crackling noise echoed through the room.
"Good morning dearest, Alexander, enjoying your stay?" A distorted voice spoke through what I assume to be speakers hidden somewhere in the room.
"F*ck off." I huffed, what? It's not like it can hear me.
"Ha! You know I can hear you correct?" Oh... I stand corrected. I flipped the air off as well.
"And see you." God damnit.
"I would reveal myself after all it's rude to not greet a guest. But alas I do not know if you will be staying with me or not." Well that's just great.
"Do not worry though, your needs will be taken care of for the duration of your stay. Though I do understand your fear but you have no reason to, I only target people who do evil things, breaks our holy father's commandments. My job is to purify this accursed world."
"Isn't killing like one of the big ten things you shouldn't do?" I ask sarcastically. There was a long silence.
"For a mortal human yes. But a reincarnation of the Holy Spirit must do their job."
"Wait wait wait, let me get this straight you genuinely believe you are some all powerful god of death or some sh*t?"
"I wouldn't expect you to understand, not many do. I wouldn't want you to understand either, there is darkness in this world and it needs to be corrected, but sweet pure things like yourself should not have to worry about such disgusting creatures of sin."
"Well, if that's so then why did you think that photographing me naked and sharing them with my entire school was in anyway keeping me away from 'disgusting creatures of sin' as you call it?" I glared at a wall, I wish I knew where the camera was.
"I do apologize greatly for any pain I might have caused you, it was no ill will towards you. I needed your father to give up his search for me, but alas he only seemed to respond to threats towards his family. I hope this explains the situation to you. Your dinner will arrive soon." Another loud crackling noise. God f*cking damnit.

George's POV
I stared at Alexander's friends, I had to bring them in for questioning about Alexander's kidnapping. They were... an odd bunch to put simply.
"Why the f*ck are you interrogating us! Do you really think one of us is that f*cking psychopathic serial killer?" Alexander's boyfriend, John Laurens, snarled. Martha may say he is polite but out of all of them he has been the most aggressive towards me and the other officers. Granted though, his boyfriend has been kidnapped by a serial killer and he's being 'accused' of it. I suppose that would make anyone irritable. This is my first time actually meeting Alexander's friends, you can imagine my surprise at finding them all already in the system.

Margarita Schuyler: arrested for trespassing, vandalism and public indecency

"John mon ami please calm down, I'm sure they'll find Alexander." Lafayette assured John, they looked nervous, like they were scared of something.
"I hope Alex is okay." Elizabeth worried at her skirt.
"I'm sure he's fine, Alex is feisty!" Margarita smiled, they seemed unphased by the kidnapping.
"That's what I'm worried about." Angelica hummed staring intently at a wall. Hercules sighed heavily,
"We can only hope that this freak just wants to use Alex for ransom." I can't help but agree with him.

A/N: coming up with The Angel of Death's motive was really fun by the way, I did so much research on serial killers for this book and fun fact there's a specific type of serial killer that thinks they are sent by a higher being to kill people, which I chose for my serial killers motive obviously
