PROLOGUE
To anyone who knew her, they knew she was just a confident person. Anyone could take one look at her and know that she wasn't afraid. To most that's what drew her to them, the air of pride that surrounded her. Many hoping that if they knew her, talked to her, even touched her that maybe, just maybe they would be able to brave the world the way she did. But it wasn't her self-confidence that drew me in, or the way she once looked at life, that each day was an experience to look forward to, I hadn't seen her look that way in months.
Many people thought it was her looks that drew me to her. Yet it wasn't how soft and sweet her lips looked, or the light flush on her cheeks. Nor was it the beautiful sway of her hips as she walked or the luscious curves her body made. Though those things made her who she was and I loved each one, they weren't what made me crave for her….lust for her, even kill for her. No. It was the cold, dead look in those beautiful emerald eyes that once sparkles with life. Those eyes that once held so much happiness and ambition, that once told you every thought and emotion she was feeling in an entire moment. It was the way her body, pressed against mine, so frail and innocent, could feel so rigid and still, but still make me feel so alive. The way her hand on my cheek, so ghostly and cold could make me shutter at her touch and yet make me want her even more. And the slow creeping smile that spread across her face that made her eyes look even more beautiful. That smile that told me she was no longer hiding, there were no more secrets between us. That deadly smile, with her beautiful white teeth. This is what drew me to her.
As I stood there holding her body in my arms I could smell her strawberry shampoo, I could feel her pink her in my fingers as it cascaded down her back. I knew in this moment what I had just agreed to, yet I was willing to do it all, if it meant no more secrets between us. It meant a new beginning for her, and oh how I wanted her to be happy again. How I longed for the lovely sparkle in her eyes to return. It was only a matter of time before I made that happen for her. I made a promise long ago to protect her and I will never break that promise. She was falling apart at the seams and I was there to sew her back together. I would do whatever it takes. I would help her fulfill her revenge. She would never be alone.
