Both I and Alicia were silent. I did not continue my sentence after saying something unexpected to her and she seemed to still digest what really just happened. Silent created between us. Added a more dramatic atmosphere.
My head looked down while staring at her. I crouched down and grabbed the dagger lying on the floor. There were still bloodstains around the surface of the dagger. My eyes turned to Alicia let her felt silent with lots of questions popped up in her head
I crouched beside her, played the dagger in my hand. Twirled that object. Alicia froze up with her blank gaze. Suddenly her eyes shimmered with tears and slowly the emptiness in her eyes was replaced with tears slowly dripped into her cheeks.
"I'm not lying," I continued after a while ago had been quiet. "I can have you forever. Then we live happily." I smiled at her. There was a deep meaning that common people will not understand. Only me and my thoughts that can be in harmony with the actions I will take.
"You're insane!" Alicia rebuked. No mercy, I angrily stared at her. Seriously. I was tired of those words. Not anymore!
"Stop calling me crazy!" I shouted back and rebuked at her. My anger immediately overflowed. My head felt heavier.
My hands suddenly trembled. My desire to skin her grew so vigorous.
"Aaakhh !!" Alicia screamed in pain.
Turned out without I realized, my hands had slit the skin of her neck many times until the wound on her neck skin gaped. Fresh blood flowed from that gaping wound.

"You know, you should thank me. I soon will end your suffering Alicia."
The dagger in my hand pressed against her neck skin. She grimaced and sobbed. Nor could fight back. Her blood dripped and mixed with water and rose petals.
Flawless.
"With love."
I pulled the dagger out from her neck. Alicia was still sobbing. Then the room filled with the sound of her sobs.
"Wh-what's inside your brain Vary?!" Apparently, that girl still wanted to play with me. Maybe she was not ready to meet her death. It is natural. Just who is ready to meet death at a young age like her?
"You."
One word followed by a warm kiss touched her cheek. Alicia was silent, but she was really scared.
My desire grew even more fierce to do 'many things' to Alicia who could not revolt. I wanted her.
Soon.
My kiss moved to her neck, tasted the blood flowing there. I did not know, I cannot describe how happy I was at that time. Could feel how the taste like of the blood of a girl who is my first love.
My face turned red. Felt like my heart wanted to jump out. It felt so sweet and there was a flavour of death mixed when my tongue tasted that thick red liquid.
Her wound gaped more and more continued bleeding. I can not forget it. What a very exciting sight it was.
I moved towards the table where I put my stuff. Put back the latex gloves on and the mask that I had previously removed. Then took a handkerchief that had been covered by novichok poison.
That is the first time I have used that poison. I was very curious about how the poison invited its victim to death.
To shorten the time I rushed to Alicia again. This time I definitely stopped playing.
"Alicia, the thing that you need to know is ..."
I was silent for a split second.
"I love you."
I could hear Alicia screeching in fear before I pressed the handkerchief to her nose.
She struggled with all of the remaining strength she had. Then she realized that the pain in her neck was spreading, felt burning as if it wanted to detach. Just by thought more about the pain she felt really did put a smile on my face.
My hands held back her nape so she could not escape from my handkerchief.
"Good Alicia, breathe in." I kept stuffing Alicia's head with a handkerchief to make sure that she actually inhaled novichok's poison entirely. Until that girl was almost out of breath. I took the handkerchief off her face.
"Cough cough!" She coughed and her body sank into the bathtub. Alicia made every effort to return to the surface. Her efforts were not in vain, at least her head poked slightly so she could still breathe the oxygen and not the water.
It looked like the poison was still working and needed time to take the effect. So I walked towards the table where I put the book. I threw the poisonous handkerchief into the trash box. Pulled the two gloves that protect my hands and removed the mask on my face. Then I threw that objects into the trash box too. No one needed it anymore.
You must be wondering, why was there a table in the bathroom? Oh, of course, I had planned everything I would do to Alicia a long time ago. I am a perfectionist grim reaper.
I sat on the chair and began to open the book right from the bookmark that became the marker for the last time I had read that thing. To kill the time while waiting for novichok poison to react on Alicia. It seemed like she started to feel mild asphyxia. I could hear the breath sound from her started to get heavy.
"Var ... ian ..." Her voice sounded so heavy and accompanied by her gasp for breath. I looked briefly, then turned my eyes back to the book that I had read two paragraphs before. The girl looked convulsed when my eyes caught her figure.
"Enjoy it, Alicia," I said to her instead of myself.
Her body had paralyzed after severe seizures. After glanced at her for a moment I read the book until the silence hanged out with me one more time.
There was no more Alicia's crying sound. There was no more screaming. There was no more sound of her gasped for breath. Neither the sound of splashing water nor the sound of the body that hit the side of the bathtub. There was only silence.
I put the bookmark on the last page I had read then closed the book. I stood up and my eyes were now staring at Alicia who had sunk in the bathtub. There are plenty of flower petals flowed along with water on the bathroom floor. The colour of the water went red because of the blood was coming out of Alicia's torn neck. The girl was not moving at all, she swallowed by the water.
