Revenge
Countless souls have fallen prey to its grasp, their lives shattered as deeply as those they sought to harm, if not more so.
For most, mere death isn't the end
It's not enough to satiate their thirst
They crave retribution, wish for something beyond the grave. They want misery upon those who've wronged them. Long for the torment of those who've wounded them
But at the end of the day, it's merely a wish,
A burning desire for- well, nothing realistic, really
For they are weak. Powerless
Some may even deem them useless
But then, there exist the select few- those who refuse to settle for anything less than the worst, denying death's grasp to unleash a living hell upon their enemies,
Those who take matters into their own hands, seizing control & becoming the architects of their own vengeance,
Now those, those are dangerous.
For in their eyes, the concept of contentment is a foreign notion, replaced by a searing ache for more-
More agony, despair.
More misery, more wails.
More destruction, chaos.
People like him, they feed off of fear, thrive in causing pain. They're cunning, calculating, heartless
But frankly, even the most twisted of them seem like harmless amateurs in comparison to him.
He reeks of death
Exudes darkness, sorrow
Death is all that shadows his steps, making his existence a reminder of the inevitable fate that awaits his victims.
And whispers in the Russian underworld speak of him as Mors- The god of death
So, what happens when a girl, who abandoned her family, her life & the very empire bestowed upon her- just to escape the sight of death, catches the eyes of the reaper?
What happens when he pulls her into the abyss of his world, intent on destroying all she has fought to be in pursuit of vengeance?
And what happens when, as the day wanes, the embodiment of her deepest fear captures her eyes as well?
"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes.
"I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do.
Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek.
"Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip.
He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady.
"I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist
"Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch.
How can someone so beautiful be so heartless?
