"When you've found love, then you have to choose..." ~ Don't Close Your Eyes
"When you're not alone... something or someone is right there with you, in the dark." ~ The Cuttist
***
A spine-tingling romance inspired by the Wattpad October 2019 Short Story Contest.
***
Kiki, code-named "The Cuttist", is a member of an organization of assassins called the Mirror People.
Kiki has never failed a mission, but when her next target happens to be the man of her dreams, she must decide to either keep or kill him.
Any choice she makes comes with a consequence.
***
I have given myself a personal challenge to develop my October contest entries (which were originally standalones) into a short story with 24 parts.
Each part will be either 400 or 100 words on the dot, and will borrow a title from the Wattpad Short Story reading lists "Spine Tinglers" and "Love Dairies." Both lists have 12 titles each, and I will only use each title once.
I hope to finish the story before the next (November) contest.
Wish me luck!
UPDATE: I finished well in advance and in time for Nanowrimo 2019
UPDATE 2: The story has been developed into three volumes under The Nigerian Assassin Series.

Release Me
Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.Complete

# I will stop publishing my story on wattpad because I'm worried about plagiarism. The world has been destroyed. All that remains is the Ark, and inside it, humans are oppressed by the Eldritch. On the outside, only death awaits thanks to heat so scorching it burns you alive, and cold so chilling, it freezes your retinas in under half a minute. Erin Watts is a 15-year-old human living in the slums of Designated Area No.6. He attends the prestigious Arlington School of Servitude and wants nothing more than having a bright future. Unfortunately, things aren't going his way as of late. His mother, a syred human, is sick and about to die. When she bites the dust, her protection from being syred to an Eldritch master will die with her, leaving Erin unprotected. His school is also starting to suspect he might not come from a wealthy background. And, to top it all off, his Eldritch neighbor wants to rape him and torture him to death. Could it get any worse for him? What can Erin do? How far will he go before he breaks down? Can he beat the system? Find out in this story about oppression, desperation, violence, and a pair of crazy girls. Disclaimer: The girls in this story are not the cliche mindless and submissive Daisies you find around Wattpad. If you are into that, then don't let the door hit you and leave. It also won't have your cliche yanderes.Complete
The Clockwork Killer ✓
Highest ranking: #404 in Mystery/Thriller ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ "Choose." I heard the gun cock against Georgie's head. She suddenly screamed, "No! Luna! You can't choose me over you! Save yourself!" The killer said, "Silence," and Georgie obeyed, but I had heard her. "Choose, or I'll choose for you." The murderer made a point of pressing the muzzle harder into Georgie's temple. I looked into my best friend's deep brown eyes. I knew what I had to do. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ NOTE: This was my first book on Wattpad, so it's not great. The plot is unoriginal and it starts out boring but I somehow managed to save it in the last 3 or so chapters. Read at your own risk of cringing so hard your head will fall off.

"Please take me home" I no longer felt like going to work I didn't want my patient to see me devastated and terrified. After a few minutes we reached my apartment as I was about to get out he locked the doors I shivered feeling him turn towards me by now my eyes were glossy. I slowly turned to look at him the smell of blood was painted on him the tears rolled down my cheeks his thick thumb wiped them away my body was shaking I was terrified of this man when his skin made contact with mine my body tingled with a foreign emotion, I looked up at his eyes letting him touch me afraid he would kill me if I moved. "Goodnight my Queen" I shivered at the title he had given me, I was scared to the bone and I was not about to argue with him while he had a taste for blood the look in his eyes told me he still wanted more when he entered the car earlier on. He tenderly kissed my forehead lingering as my heart exploded I waited patiently and shut my eyes praying for him to remove his lips from my skin so I could go home. He finally did and when he unlocked the car doors I jumped out and hurried to my apartment not looking back at the devil in the car. I finally reached my apartment panting and shut the door sliding down my door crying hysterically, I could still feel his cold lips on me. What did I just witness tonight. What did I get myself into. I was scared of the future because I knew surely he would be back to check on his Queen.
