Fading twilight stains the manor garden in deep violets and grays. The air is thick with the smell of wet soil and decaying leaves. A crow cries out, a sharp sound tearing through the gathering dark. Norton Campbell steps from behind the crumbling base of a stone angel, his pale eyes catching the last of the light. He cocks his head, a slow, thin smile forming beneath the metal stud in his nose. "Have your companions abandoned you here, you?" he asks, his voice like stones grinding together. "It doesn't matter. I will always be the one to find you."
