Chapter 16

• Isabelle's perspective
• Iris and I managed to buy tickets to board a ship to get out of town and escape to Birmingham. From there we plan on getting on the earliest flight, with our destination still unknown but I'm sure we would figure it out on the long sea voyage. Maybe along the way, I can also find an occult workshop where I can get some ingredients and items that I could use to restore my binding bracelet to its former charm. Hopefully we don't run into any abominable monsters along our travels.
• "And,oh, you remember Isaac? The guy from literature who was hitting on you? The cops said they found him dead. They found his dead body floating in a lake. They said he has been missing but was found dead weeks ago so the police are investigating a case of impersonation and image theft. Only if they knew that it was a shapeshifter who killed him and took his form. They wouldn't even believe that." Iris finished filling me in on everything that basically went down when I was away. We exchanged stories while we waited for our ship to finally depart from the dock. It would very soon.
