Violets and Ash
I snarled under my breath and ran a hand down my face.
No matter who I tortured, no matter how long, I never got an ounce of their blood on my hands. During the messier sessions I’d end up with a splatter or two on my face, mostly from slit throats, severed limbs, and sliced arteries, but never my hands. Cole had poked fun at my ritual, but I knew without asking that he admired the cleanliness since he himself would descend into madness and find himself coated in blood and gore the moment he made the first cut.
