A suldru is a being of my own imagination. NO STEALING

"Her name is Megan Nora Rilmel. Sings soprano, born in 1990, Florida, works at the Vista Diner as a waitress." Liz said, looking at a file folder of the next victim of the singer killer before passing it to Abe, rejecting Hellboy's outstretched hand.

"Lives alone in an apartment on Vineland street in Delaware, was eliminated from American Idol when she ran off the stage crying after Simon made a terrible comment about her hair." Abe read

"What? Let me see." Red said, grabbing the folder. Seeing a picture of Megan next to the information Abe and Liz read off, he saw what Simon meant.

"Some hair on this one." he said, lifting his cigar to his mouth. "Probably the best way to look for her. Can't miss it."

"Abe, any idea what might be killing the singers?"

"I'm trying to find something, but there are quite a few creatures that may want to steal a person's voice." Abe said, flipping through the pages of his book.

"Look, I don't know, who you are, but I-I'm feeling... kinda uncomfortable around you S-so, I'm just going to--" Megan cut herself off as she ran out of the alley and down the sidewalk. The being who came up to her only laughed.

"And they're off." he chuckled

"How long till we get there Manning? This is taking forever." Hellboy said, sounding like a kid.

"We'll get there, when we get there! We're coming into Delaware, right now."

Oh God Oh God Oh God Oh God! Megan thought as she got the lead out and ran. She kept running down the street without looking back. When she was out of breath she looked around, leaning on a lamp pole.

"He's... gone..." she panted. She let out a sigh of relief and put her head against the cool metal of the pole.

"I will have you." came the creature's voice. Megan looked around her once again before looking up. There perched on the lamp post like a vulture was the creature man.

"Oh for crying out loud." Megan said before taking off in a sprint.

"Hmmm, I might have found something..." Abe said, Studying a page in his book.

"What is it?" Hellboy said before the ruck went over a large bump that made him crash his head in the roof. "OW!! Manning! Where'd you get your license?!"

"A suldru." Abe said. "A being that served the sirens. He loved their songs that he wished to have one of them leave her clan to be his, and only his. The other sirens took him and tortured him, body and soul, turning him into the monster that it is today. But he still wanted the beautiful songs the sirens sang, and even when they have all disappeared or died, he must still hear them in the American Idol people."

"So, what'll it take to kill it?" Hellboy asked

"It doesn't say. I need to research more." Abe said, lifting his hand. He looked up from his book, tilted his head, and removed his glove.

"Take a right and keep going straight!" he said

"Found her?" Liz asked

"Most likely." Abe said

Megan stopped once again, too tired to keep going. She fell to her knees in the middle of a crosswalk of a clear street. Her head jerked up when the creature started laughing and walking towards her.

"Wh-... what... What are... you?" Megan asked, moving back. The creature kneeled down and put a cold hand on her cheek.

"I am what owns you, who you will only sing for." he said Megan pulled away and wobbly stood and ran across the street before collapsing once again.

"No! I'm owned... by nobody!" She said. He stood up and shook his hand before walking towards Megan slowly. He looked to his right where the lights of an oncoming car shined brighter and brighter until... Crash!

"That... that really, really... had to hurt." Megan said to creature was sent sprawling a few feet away from the front of a large garbage truck. Megan stood to her trembling feet using the pole for balance as the window rolled down.

"Would you happen to be..." the bald man said before shuffling through papers. "Megan Rilmel?"

"Y-... Y-- Yeah..." Megan said. The man nodded before looking back into the truck.

"Found her." he said
