He was every girl's day dream.
He was also every child's worst nightmare.

Arian Ice, a King during the day and a serial killer...

I couldn't sleep the entire night after I was told that I had died and was resurrected by a supernatural to whom I owe a blood debt. It was a good thing that Adrian had texted me early morning telling me to meet the three of them in an hour. I'd changed into something decent and grabbed my phone before leaving.
Life is so unpredictable.
Just a week ago I'd been daydreaming about what my kids would look like. How Arian would be the super cool dad and Adrian would be the uncle that thought my son or daughter to hunt for the first time. It sucks how everything can come crashing down in just a few minutes.
I passed Noah's house on my way to our meeting spot. I smiled remembing the two of us running around the house as kids. So much has changed. Whom have I become? I passed by the exact spot I'd stopped by when I heard screaming and rushed into the forest- the first time I met Arian.
I heard a scream.
I chuckled as I tsked my brain for playing games with me. My feet stopped moving when the sound came again; this time it was louder. I took in a deep breath. Déja vu indeed. I pulled out my phone and dialled a number.
"911. What's your emergency?"
I have to do this. "I heard a man scream. It came from the Blackwater Forest. Opposite the Waters' house."
"We'll send help immediately. Are You hurt?"
"No," I replied.
As soon as the call ended, I made my way into the forest. Arian was smart enough to disappear before the police came but I had just saved a poor man's life. I made my way to the pond. That's where he would be.
It was a sunny day. My eyes burned as my sweat dropped into them. It took me nearly three minutes to reach the pond but I stopped when I realised that was another person with Arian.
It's a girl.
Really, Ally? A poor man is lying dead over there and the girl with your mate is your biggest issue?
I watched as Arian dumped the head into the water. There was a big splash, a few ripples and then nothing. No sign of any blunder being committed. "I see you haven't stopped playing serial killer," I called out loudly as I stepped out of my hiding place.
Arian turned behind and smiled.
He was still sexy as sin.
His black hair shone in the sunlight and some of it hid his blue irises from view. His pink lips were curled up into an amused smile. I remember kissing those lips. "Chelsea," he acknowledged, "I see you haven't stopped poking your nose in other people's business."
"Why did you kill him, Arian?" I asked calmly.
"The King doesn't answer to you, bitch," the girl with him sneered. That's when I saw the M pendant hanging around her neck and remembered her. She was the one who took the same book on possession from the library as I did.
