requital: a justly deserved penalty or revenge

Anger. Guilt. Vengeance.

Those are the only emotions I have felt all these years.

Everyday is a battle to keep myself from losing a piece of me...what's left of me, anyway.

One moment, eleven years ago, is all it took.

They should have killed me when they had the chance. Sucks for them that I survived.

The thirst for revenge is stronger than anything I have ever felt.

I plan to be a living nightmare for the people who ruined my life. To carve them into pieces. To watch them go down in flames.

That is until he comes along and evokes something in me I thought I had lost forever.

His love burns me from within.

I shouldn't be with him. I should stay far away from him, but how can I when he has made me feel more alive than I have ever felt? I can protect him from everything but I am scared that I will be the one to destroy him.

Somehow having him to myself strengthens me, yet his love consuming me makes me feel anything but.

It wasn't supposed to be like this.

The lines for revenge and forgiveness have never blurred yet now I can see them disappearing.

It's up to me. I could let go of the one person who made me feel human again or I could die myself.

Neither are viable options.

All I know, no matter what I choose, I am going to end up dead.

Dead inside or six feet under?

Only time will tell.

Hello, and welcome to all the lovely people who decided to give my story a try. It's my first attempt at writing an entire book and it's been crazy, but I am loving it. Anyways, before you proceed there are some things I would like you all to know.

1) Please NO plagiarism. I think that goes without saying, right? 

2) Readers discretion is advised. It's marked mature for a reason y'all.  

2) Every character, action, place, dialogue and word is important. Nothing in this book appears out of nowhere and disappears into thin air. I would know because I have spent hours writing it, so all I ask is to be patient. 

3) I am a very indifferent person, so people hating doesn't bother me at all. Of course, constructive criticism is always welcomed with open arms. But, unnecessary hate towards any of the readers or anything and I'll really fight you. 

4) And last but not least, I really hope you enjoy it and I love each and every one of you who decided to give my book a chance! 

Without further ado, let's begin!
