Executing Malice

A JEFFERSON PITCH BLACK HALLOWEEN ROMANCE

No one ever tells you that safety is an illusion.
For example, Leila thinks she’s safe.
She thinks she left her demons buried in the past.
She thinks she got away. Abandoned me after everything I did, everything I became for her.

Was it the blood on my hands? The monster in my veins?
I would change it if I could. But I can’t. And now I don’t want to.
She’s going to learn that evil doesn’t die.
It waits and plots.

Twelve days until Halloween.
Twelve days to remind her.
Of me. Of us. Of the promises she broke.
By the time I’m done, she’s going to learn what it means to be mine. Even if I have to break her to make it happen. And this time, there is no escape.

Not from our past.
Definitely not from me.
But I’m not the only one looking for her. Not the only one who wants her back. Too bad for them. I don’t share.
And I’ve already killed once to keep her.
