The Validestine Fortress

From John's stance on the slippery cobblestone walkway, he could just make out a young girl peeking out of the highest window of the ghost castle. Right when he took a step forward, a figure obscured by the shadows clamped a pale looking hand around the young girl's mouth. Immediately, John reached into his pocket to phone Sherlock. When he did, a bloodied spear was protruding from the girl's torso. Blood rushed from her mouth, as she collapsed. The next instant, the shadow man had vanished just like that. John stood on the wet cobblestone path in complete, utter shock, and many unanswered questions.
