MIST CLUNG TO THE ICY WATER, THICK WISPS CURLING AND ARCHING INTO THE NIGHT SKY. The sky began to grow darker, causing thousands of crystals in the sky to shine brighter. The moon began to rise higher and higher into the sky, floating by the stars.



❝Please.❞



her voice was hoarse and weak, tired of screaming. Tears were streaming down her face, her body was shaking uncontrollably. Her long, blonde hair which was once beautifully knotted were now dull, tangled and scattered around her face. Her face; tiredness was shown all throughout her face. From all the crying her eyeliner and lipstick was a mess now. Her bright green eyes were hidden behind her eyelids.



She gave up on thought of freeing herself because all her attempts were in vain.



❝Fear,❞ the sound of his dark voice chilled her, sending shivers down her spine. ❝I can smell your fear, oozing out of every pore. Your quivering heart of fear relieves me.❞ his eyes glistened with satisfaction as he inhaled deeply. ❝Pure fear; it's dreadful sweetness is driving me to insanity, the intoxicating-addicting aroma arousing me, feeding the beast within me.❞ he said darkly.



Sweat beads were visible on her forehead, her body was shaking uncontrollably. Her breathing coming heavy and her heart pounding in her chest. Her heart pattered against her chest like a machine gun. Fear was the only emotion that she could feel within her.



He slowly stalked around her like a predator to it's pray, preparing to strike. She remained silent as his calculating eyes were on her; the prey.



They say the eyes are the mirrors to the soul.



His soul were dead and demonic.


A violent shiver ran down her spine, terrifying assumptions penetrating through her brain as he wrapped his large hands around her throat aggressively, causing her to gasp and struggle to breath. Immense fear and dread filled her. Her heart was beating desperately in her chest, pounding, banging, trying to get out. She tried to remove his hands off of her, thought his strength was inhuman, she couldn't move it, not even an inch. The fear still tortured her gut. His grip on her neck was excruciating and she could barely breath. He let out a menacing laugh before he loosened his grip around her neck so she could breath but still held his firm grip.



❝I can't help it, your heart pounding against your rib cage; trapped and helpless. Why don't we take it out?❞ dark expression etched on his face. The hairs on her back stood as be dragged the razor, cold, sharp merciless blade against her chest. He pushed the sharp blade into her chest and she gasped, the excruciating-intensified pain was suffocating her.



Her screams were drowning out his laughter. A gust of blood came out of her mouth. She was choking on her own blood.



❝Sweet dreams.❞ he whispered before disappearing into the night, leaving the dead girl behind.
