She puts her hand to my face and brings the talisman towards my cheek. "Stop it!" the guy yells. The talisman hits my skin, and it's so painful I can't even scream. My vision blurs and everything goes dark for a moment. Then Heather is gone. Yanked off of me. I hear her fall against the ground, her cry more from anger than pain. "I'll give you one chance," the guy says. "Leave now. In two seconds I won't be so merciful." His voice sounds so familiar, like it's always been with me. Like it's, oddly, a part of me.

Been in my share of slaughterhouses.” He turned back toward the corpse. “Blood don’t pump once a body’s dead. Gotta hang it upside down to get it to drain like that.”

he places his hand on his chest, feigning confidence. "Conceded much?" I ask him boldly, cutting his sentence off and leaving my fear in the dust. He chuckles deeply causing my heart to clench, uncomfortably. My father is dead in front of me, a bullet wound to his head and here I am, laughing with a strange, 7-foot man who shouldn't be in my house. "Well baby, I'm death, nice to meet you," I know it was dumb, but I broke into laughter. "Yeah, and I'm Demeter now get out before I call the cops," I glance back over at my father as he lies in a pool of his blood.

He knew the stars would be the last sight he would ever see. Bryan kept trying to think about his wife and son and not about being killed. He could still taste the blood in his mouth from being punched and then kicked in his face by a prison guard. The blood in Bryan’s mouth was now becoming intermingled with his tears. He couldn’t stop thinking about what his cellmate told him. Denise told him about how a Boneseeker Man killed her husband. She told him that a woman she worked for, who called herself Princess Death Row, killed her husband by feeding him to the Boneseeker Man, which was an extraterrestrial predator.

The lifeless man on the floor stayed still as his own pool of roses started to bathe him with sweet cherry red wine. Mayari then raise his shoe and mercilessly step on the man's swollen head with her heels. Then she looked at Jim with cold dead eyes. "Now, whose next?" Mayari asked, sending chills to Jim's spine. The demon in her tone is speaking, and fear immediately struck Jim like lightning. Right here and now, he knew... he has witness death.

"As long as you return, Mom, Dad, and Luke will stop hitting me. They blame me every day, saying that it's my fault that you died and that I have to pay back what I owe you…" I couldn't believe they treated Yvonne so harshly because of me. My cold gaze fell on her, who had once been so glamorous. "Miss, you've got the wrong person." Why was this happening now? In my past life, I kept tolerating them until they drove me to my grave—yet they dismissed it without a second thought. So this time, I orchestrated my death and left of my own accord. But now, they were scrambling to find me. How ironic.

Pieces of its brain sprang to the floor. This man is Azrael Cross. A legendary assassin under The Association, he has completed several high-level assassinations including big mafia bosses and drug cartel bosses. These high-level assassinations were attempted by many but only Azrael was able to do so, the member of The association had great respect for him. Click! Click! Azrael's camera sounds.

Daniel stood frozen for a moment before icily saying, "Ed, how could you be tricked by Helen too? I've really underestimated her. Even a cop like you got played like a fool!" Uncle Ed was caught off guard by his tone. "Daniel, what's going on with you? Didn't you usually adore Helen the most?" He paused momentarily before continuing, "We received a report today.
