Moonlight glinted off of the sharp tip of the knife. It was clothed in the blackness of her dried blood. The cloaked figure curled his lips as he wiped the knife off using his jacket. Tonight he would be praised. Tonight he would be honored for his kill. She was on the top of the society's list. He didn't know why and frankly he didn't care as long as he got his pay. He sheathed his knife and took the girls' bloodied wrists in his hands. He dragged her into the open casket and locked it shut. As the midnight clouds began to cry tears, he shoveled dirt into the small hole where the casket lay. He threw the shovel and his blood covered gloves in the muddy duffel bag. Walking over the bridge he found various large rocks and shoved them in the bag, making it almost too heavy for him to carry. His dark, dangerous eyes gleamed as he threw the bag into the river and watched it sink into darkness.

A slow breath left her lips. "And you're still here." "I always will be." Something twisted inside her. Something she had long since stopped trying to name. He had always seen her for what she was-long before she ever admitted it herself. And still, he stayed. The rain had washed away the blood, but she could still feel it, thick and warm between her fingers. The night reeked of loss, but not hers. She had nothing left to lose. Not lost. Erased. She stepped closer, lowering her voice. "Then let's finish this." No hesitation. No mercy. "Always."
