It was an odd feeling to watch your own death over and over. It was even odder to watch the red that spilled from my gut as my very own son struck me. He had buried the sword up to the hilt into my chest. It's slim silver blade was dipped with a deep rustic red that oozed over his slim fingers. My knees would buckle and I'd fall to the ground. My son would turn me around and hold my face in his hands. Hatred was far beyond him, which surprised me the first time I saw this happen. One would expect his features to be shook with such wrath but instead his young face held sorrow. "I am so sorry father, I've been given no choice but to do this. I swear to you I will find a way to bring you back. Just you wait father. I won't let your death be a stud in our family's history." His well toned skin was streaked with tears. "I trust in your decision Hanson. I trust in you." My dying words. I do wish I could've said more. Soon after he would be placed as king. I had never gotten to see him be crowned, I only wish that this memory of my death would stop playing over and over. It's enough to make a man go mad. Who's to say I haven't already? I float in a small space of existence here by my bones. It feels as if I have been here for centuries. Only my memories aid my sanity in this small space. How do I know I'm not imagining this after life? I'd sigh about these facts if only I could. For now I waste away here in my crypt. It's dusty grey bricks crumble and smother some of the bones sleeping in their tombs. Shortly my own bones will become nothing more than dust. Oh how long have I waited here?

He smiled. The devil himself couldn't have crafted a more wicked grin. "What do you say we play a game, little Reaper?" I narrowed my eyes, trying to decipher his intentions. "What kind of game?" His grin widened, showing the tips of his fangs. I watched the prince curiously as he strode over to his bag. With a swift motion, he withdrew a bow and a quiver of arrows, flinging them at my feet without so much as a second glance. I furrowed my eyebrows, casting him a look of uncertainty. That sinister grin stayed plastered upon his lips as he said, "Run." *** I, Skyla Ashforth, am what some might call a "sociopath." It was a title that fit. Why shouldn't I embrace it? I am a vampire slayer, a Reaper of bloodsuckers, and an exceptionally good one, if I do say so myself. Yes, being a sociopath has its perks; I could manipulate and deceive with the best of them. So, when captured by the notorious Red Prince, I embraced the challenge of manipulating my freedom. Pierce Darcee, was a sadistic vampire with a God complex. The fool actually believed he could break me. Little did he know, I was the kind of Reaper who would dance through a battlefield, whistling a merry tune as I twirled my braids. I relished the challenge of manipulating his oversized ego, planning to stab that rotting, blackened heart of his with a venom-laced dagger. I crafted a scheme so delightful, so intricate, that I couldn't help but salivate at the prospect of victory. It was foolproof, or so my mind believed. But then... then there was that pull. That unexpected, unwelcome spark that ignited something within me. Feelings, of all things! Now, that was a complication. Disgusting, messy feelings that could very well lead to my destruction. Or his. It was a dangerous game we played, but then again, the most thrilling ones usually are. *Rated M for Murder, Mayhem, and some profanity. Sorry but no smutty interludes. You've stumbled into a blood bath, not a bodice ripper.*
