Angeline's POV

"That is just messed up!" Sophie exclaimed as I heard something from the ceiling.

Looking up I saw something crouched in a crawling position.

"Sophie get behind me." I said pulling my daggers out.

I didn't get a chance to hear what she was saying since the thing on the ceiling fell right in front of us and gave me a full view to see a man entirely made of shadows wearing a black suit.

"What the Hell is that!?" Sophie asked summoning her scythe from the shadows.

"I don't know!" I exclaimed pointing my daggers at it, "What are you?"

The figure didn't answer but did lunged at me but I quickly avoided it by going back into the shadows.

'That was close.' I thought in relief before I saw the thing right in front of me.

"H-how did y-you d-do that?" It asked.

"I was born like this." I said surprised it could actually talk, "How'd you do it?"

"Made a deal with the devil." The thing said as I circled him, "What are you?"

"I'm a hybrid.....of a lot of things." I said smirking a little, "So what exactly are you. I've seen some pretty weird and disorienting things in my life but I've never seen something like you."

"I was once a human but ever since that deal I don't know anymore." He said as we returned to the bedroom with Sophie.

"Heard all that?" I asked her.

"Wasn't hard to miss." She replied smiling a little before turning to the man, "How old exactly are you?'

"Its been a while, I haven't really been keeping track." The man said thinking, "But if I had to guess I'd probably be 137 today."

"137!" Sophie exclaimed.

"Your probably from the very first World War." I said looking at him before giving a real smile, "I'm Angeline and this is my friend Sophie."

"Shane at your service my ladies." Shane said before bowing, "But around these parts call me The Shadow Walker."

"You wouldn't happen to know where this guy's eyes went, do you?" Sophie asked nodding to the now dead man.

Shane gave us a little laugh before patting his stomach.

"Your a cannibal?" I asked.

Shane nodded at me before both of us saw Sophie walk to the man and pull out her knife.

"What are you doing?" Shane asked as we saw Sophie cutting off the man's flesh.

"You got your dinner, now its time for me to get mine." Sophie said dropping some of the man's flesh in her mouth.

"I'll help." Shane and I said in unison before getting some knives from the kitchen.

Once we got back we saw Sophie holding the man's heart.

"I'll be taking that." I said grabbing the heart from her and taking a bite from it.

"Looks like all of us are gonna get along just fine." Shane said slightly laughing as he joined us on the blood soaked bed.

"To new friends and more deaths in the future." Sophie said raising her knife in the air.

"Cheers to that." Shane said following her action, "Angeline?"

"You better like having me around." I said before following their action, "The Killers of the Night!"

"The Killers of the Night!" The other two repeated before we got back to cutting off the man's flesh.
