The Van Helsing Conjecture – Excerpt No. 52

She could afford a suite at the most expensive hotel in the city, but Clara preferred to be practical. Women who walked in from off the street and asked for their best room got noticed… I don’t need the Valkyrie to make an appearance

The Valkyrie was the name the authorities and media used for her. She had been caught on camera several times with her black wings in plain sight. The first time she was stark naked and unsurprisingly that video went viral… and a legend was born

She closed the window, took a deep breath and smiled. There was no scent of smoke, and she was thankful that all the rooms in this hotel were non-smoking. 

“At least the sheets were just changed.” 

Photograph of a woman with brown hair, large black feathered wings, in her underwear out in the wintry streets. There is rubble nearby from a wall collapsing. Woman is facing off a large creature that resembles a werewolf as though they are about to fight. Passers-by are taking pictures and video of the event.
