Until the Day I Die

By Stephanie

Rated: PG (maybe PG-13 for violence later on)

The idea was diabolical, the premise even worse. It was simple, his name had seven letters in the first name, and the last name had seven…fourteen letters to play with, he would only need eight to get his point across. He licked the seal on the letter and smiled as he pressed it closed with his gloved hands. An evil smirk slid across his slimy face as he got up from his chair and moved towards the door.

He knew if everything worked out perfectly the man would figured everything out just in time to watch his beautiful and loving wife die right in front of him. With no ability to save her whatsoever. That would be his most joyous moment, watching him suffer the pain he had been suffering for nearly twenty years as he watched them have affairs together, love one another and just be far too friendly for his liking.

She was, after all, a queen, and Queens were supposed to hold a certain height of respect, she had damaged it all the first time she had slept with him all those years ago. Now she was paying him back for his crime. He had caused the damage now he would suffer the consequences. Grinning he didn't have to go far, he dropped the not into the mailbox just outside the castle, he would never be seen, never thought of never noticed. No one would look at him and suspect a thing about him. He was the man who could finally commit the perfect murder. A for once the perfect murder would be just as much fun for him as it would be for those who wanted to see the vengeance brought about.

With a deep breath and another sly grin across his face he slid out of sight, as the unsuspecting occupants of the castle slept on for the night, not worrying about what tomorrow would hold, not understand what tomorrow would bring, and that it was simply the beginning of the end.
