The fire goes out, and the crystal ball falls onto the table with a loud crack as it hits the wood. Where is Elsie?, is all I'm able to think at the moment. My heart leaping out my chest, I sit still, my breath a little disjointed and uneven. It's absolutely quiet now--now that my thoughts are silenced. The only thing I can hear is the pumping of my heart. And it's loud. I'm filled with panic, and what makes it worse is there's someone next to me. 

It leans closer. 

I can feel its breath on my neck. 

I can't move.

I don't move. I feel its lips against my hair.

"Murderer," it whispers.

In this death-defying, despondent prequel of Death the Kid's True Wife's Story, we follow Malachi Perish as he embarks on a journey that will change his life forever. Forced to flee the kingdom after being so treacherously deceived and framed for his father's death, Malachi must face several obstacles that will test his abilities, morals, and most of all, his own nature when a sudden and unwanted responsibility is placed upon his young shoulders. The childishly sadistic prince will have to make a choice on which his life, and the life of another, depends on. Will the devilishly devious sadist conform to the needs of fate? Or will his sadistic desires consume him and drown his soul completely? Hauntingly suspenseful and dramatically thought-provoking, The Melancholy Life of Malachi Perish will leave you breathless with every chapter.

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.*

I could feel the warmth of his breath, tantalizingly close, as it brushed against my ear, sending a rush of sensations through my body. "W-What?"
