"Honey," The angelic voice washed over me, bathing my senses with warmth I foolishly clung to.
Sighing softly, my amber gaze drifted down to my calloused hands that were stained with a coppered substance, its aroma strangling me. I closed my eyes, trying to shield the painful reality, wishing that my thoughts, my actions were all but a sick and twisted nightmare.
"I'll be right there sweetie." When my voice cracked, I cleared my throat, stumbling down the basement, her impatience tugging at me.
The stench reached out the closer I got, grasping at my body as it drew me deeper into the tragic mess I was sure to encounter. I knew I had no right to be shocked, afterall –I was the one who lured her task down here.I was that partner who went out and got the raw materials, dragging it back to our lair for her to do as she may with it.
She looked up upon my arrival, her smile sickeningly sweet under the dimmed lightly.
"You're here," She breathed, wiping the sweat from her brow.
I cringed when I noticed the crimson trail she left, the knife in her hand barely grazing her. Looking beside her, I noticed the dead body, marred beyond recognition.
My inside twisted.
"I finally killed you," She grinned, looking from the corpse to me – her vacant eyes shining.
I recoiled shamefully.
How tragic was it to love a woman who repeatedly killed with me in mind as her victim?
