Cursed Marriage

Jewels Mantis is forced to hunt and kill her husband James Mantis when the night of her hereditary curse kicks in and takes control of her, will he survive this game of cat and mouse or is he doomed to suffer the same fate of all those before him?
_____________________________________________

When the hunt begins Jewels slowly starts to turn into an unhinged demonic beast, the longer the game goes on the more monstrous, bloodthirsty and insane she becomes.

Will she kill her prey or will the prey survive another night?

(Made for the open novella contest the prompt that I chose was 71. "This is our last dance, my dear." They said, to which you reply, "Then make it the best dance, my love.")
