In Two Minds

Stoker Hunt

"Quinn!"

Through the foggy haze of determination she heard Sara's angry shout, she ignored it he was still here she could sense him.

Clenching her fist tightly, her ring cutting into her hand she clenched it so tightly.

She ran after Savage, through the curtain, and down the back hallway to a door.

"Quinn get back here now!"

Sorry, Sara.

She burst through the door, the alleyway was dark and wet, the sound of mice or rats scurrying around made her shiver.

Still, she sensed him.

He was close.

"Quinn stop now!"

" Savage I know you're there, come out you pile of festering shit! "

An evil laugh sounded around her.

Quinn fought her anger.

"You are not like your mother."

" You cannot speak of her! " Quinn hissed, her mother's dying form flashed before my eyes.

"I've been with you longer than you know Quinn."

" I would have smelled you. " She answered her face screwed up in disgust.

"You seek revenge it burns inside you, consumes you until your twisted and diseased, we are more alike than you will ever know."

" I'm nothing like you. "

"The darkness draws you like a moth to a flame, you just don't know why."

" I prefer sunny beach paradises. "

"You feel it, inside you pulling you towards the dark, towards your own fate."

Quinn laughed.

"I don't believe in fate Savage, I believe in justice."

" No you don't it's why you create your own loopholes, I know more than you know about you. "

"I make no loopholes." Quinn spat out, looking around her for a sign of where he was.

Damn Bastard is always hiding from me!

"Let's talk about how no one knows who Jack the Ripper was."

Quinn remained silent hearing footsteps coming towards her.

"He deserved what he got!"

He laughed again a big booming bellowing laugh that vibrated on the walls around them.

" That was revenge Quinn, not justice. "

"It was a poetic justice." Quinn shrugged.

"You murdered a man in cold blood, you are just like me." He said proudly, Quinn felt her stomach turn.
