Death's Bitter Embrace (#Wattys2015)

Teaser Chapter for Act II

The Boss named the forest after me; Dante's Inferno, the name carved in wood, flames surround the sign, letting all who dare to enter know, they won't be leaving.

I am sitting here, enveloped in a lake of blood, my smile, my creepy smile turns from a criminal grin, to a frown, filled with sadness and sorrow, I had killed her, I killed the only one who had loved me dearly. I killed her.

I leap out of the pool of blood as it was her's and I did not want to taint her pure blood with mine, with my filthy blood filled with regret, filled with remorse. She is gone, the only person to love me was gone forever taken away in confusion, I wish I could take it back, take her back, I wish. But wishes never come true.

I look at her remains; her blood, her pure blood, her body, her soft skin and warm smile. How I miss her, her touch, her laugh. All that remained was a face I once knew now struck with terror and fear.

The once bright woman that she was had vanished into the night sky, replaced with a cold and broken woman, in the events leading up to her death, her face always struck with fear, with horror and shock, I killed her, I killed the only one who loved me. He isn't going to be happy.
