I'll Be Dead By Dawn Novels & Stories

Something dark uncoiled in my chest. “Yes,” I whispered. Adrian nodded. Like I’d just approved a merger. “Good.” He turned the wheel. Pulled into a brightly lit lot. I squinted through the windshield. It was a neon cross. A chapel. “Why are we here?” He parked. Turned to me. His eyes locked on me.“Because,” he said evenly, “there’s no cleaner revenge than replacing him by sunrise.” I smiled, even though I didn't clearly understand him.He stepped out of the car. My drunk brain made a catastrophic executive decision.I followed him. The next hour dissolved into strobe lights and fragmented reality.

Or I finish what I started with her too. Damien read it over my shoulder. He looked at me. We got in the car. He started driving. Neither of us spoke. But as we sped down the road my phone buzzed one more time. This one was simple. You have until dawn. After that she dies. And so do you.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

“And when your screams die, I'll go after Evelyn and end all of it.” Zane’s eyes widened with a final, shattering realization. He was already dead. Jaxon was simply choosing the speed. Zane’s body shook in the chair, every muscle taut with terror, every breath a ragged plea for mercy that would never come. Jaxon’s eyes didn’t waver. They were cold, sharp, and entirely predatory, focused on the slow, inevitable unraveling of the man before him.

It's better that he died, because if he was alive, then he would've made him beg for death. "Yuhan..." She shook his arm slightly and he immediately broke out of his trance. Mo Yuhan sighed, "It was Edward, Mark's roommate. And he is long dead." It didn't take long for Tang Li to catch up to him "So, it was Grandpa who did it, right?"

The blood had nearly stopped flowing. The position of his right hand was strange; his fingers curled as if trying to grasp something. I crouched down. In his open left hand, written crookedly in blood, was a single word: "Run". 02:14. One minute left. 02:15 came. Nothing happened. I was still alive. "Substitute death successful. Eric Dawson was killed at 2:14 in Parking Lot C. Remaining loop time: 48 hours. "Go to Parking Lot C. There’s something for you."

"Don is dead." "I expected that. He was crazy in the head. Stealing Xandros's money and creating a place like Abaddon. Bullsh*t." Diane muttered, her eyes looking worriedly at Anna, "That's not why you are like this, right? You should be glad he is dead." She added. "I watched him die." Anna said, her mouth dry from the words she was saying. "That's sad. But, we've all watched someone die at one point in our life. You watched that crazy man oogling at you get a bullet in his head, didn't you?" Diane nudged at her.

"You can't skip tonight, though. It's Freya's 18th birthday. A huge celebration. If we don't show, it'll look bad." Jayson paused at those words. His cool gaze rested on the files on his desk for a few seconds, as if he were lost in thought. "What time?" "7:00 pm. You should be getting off work now. We can head straight over from here." "Okay." Jayson rose and grabbed his jacket. Matt studied his expression. "Shouldn't you ask Ariel to join us?" Jayson stepped into the elevator with a neutral expression. "She won't come." …

‘But we will be twenty in less than two days. Katniss’s smile completely vanishes. She sits up straight on the bench, her eyes widening as the math clicks in her head. “Wait... less than two days? Kyle, the final match of the Dance of the Dead takes place in exactly two days from now.” I nod, my jaw tightening as I stare into the bubbling water. “Gracious Cessi,” Katniss whispers, her face turning pale. “That means Olivia will be fighting a death battle against the Ripper Ghost on her twentieth birthday. That is brutal.”

"Yes. And I’m still confused how you were able to save me just in time.” ‘Did he plan all of this chaos?’ He then leans in close to her, towering over her. "All right, you will just play your role to the letter. As Damian’s bride. For today.” The thought crawls into her head and sends a run of shivers down into her head. "As ..as Damian’s?" she voices fearfully. "The world doesn’t know he is dead yet. We’ll be announcing it officially later on. And as for rescuing you? I’ll explain it all later.”

But I have to as I represent every victim of the man I share blood to. “I did not expect all of you to come here tonight. I also did not expect he has this much of victims. Innocents who died. Innocents whose life turned upside down because of the madness, the doom he turned us into. Together, we tonight. Tonight, we face all our fears. As the town of Dusk and Dawn rises, this hell-like town will turn Wonderland once again.”
