Lilting Champ Even After Death Novels & Stories

I crumpled in her embrace: "Sing me with the song of days past, Yola - so that we may please the ancestors, whose sacred ground we have raped." Yolanda's brown eyes flashed amber: "Then I shall sing the dead." Her melody poured forth, eviscerating, yet quiet, like a tender morsel of perfumed, candied roses, baked with apple pie: Sanctuary of autumn, a cairn of stones. Death is not proud, Death goes as a beggar dirty for alms outside the county parish, you pass by the sorrel-haired youth, and his laconic eye bespeaks a hunger, a timeless cave of wonders.

Lilac kept her blacked-out eyes trained straight ahead as she stood, right where her father’s body had hit the earth. “Kill them!” She screamed, “KILL THEM ALL.”

He again removed my arm away from him and questioning eyes darted across my face, "You seem to bring the death subject a lot lately." His words somehow let the smile slip off my face. I shrugged nonchalantly as I gazed outside the window, "Well, in the end, we all are going die, aren't we?" Death. That word alone used to scare me. Well, not anymore. Because death, is not the greatest loss in our life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live. ********** Cara's POV My attention drifted from the conversation Katherine and Ashton's sister - Zoe - were having and my gaze fell on Chase and Lilly sitting together at the couch silently playing together. I smiled at how cute they looke

I stare at the lovely city of Manchester as I weigh my options. It’s either bankruptcy and death or marriage and coronation. I guess the latter isn’t much of a bad idea, only it is. Whatever the case, my father’s murders must pay. I have a secret after all, I can hardly die.

But there’s no way in hell I’m leaving now. “Weighing in at 213 pounds, he’s 6’2 of a solid wall you don’t wanna fucking hit. He’s the very male your mama warned you about and all the scary shit that goes bump in the night, let’s hear it for the … MOTHER FUCKING REEEEEEEEVE of the Flying Death!!! Punch Dennnnnissooooooon,” the emcee shouts, as the crowd erupts again. Suddenly there’s a massive surge and everyone moves forward, as if they’re all trying to get a piece of him. Get close to him.

I told him and he shook his head. "Be nice babe," Miguel stated and I told him of course I'd be. I picked up Rai and set him on my lap as he watched me curiously. I felt an interesting feeling of being drained when I held him but, unlike a normal person I could refill whatever life force he took from me being the son of a God. I glanced at Miguel and knew with him being Life he wouldn't have sensed it. "You're not a nice boy," the child stated with accusing eyes. I chuckled and said,"I am Death, little one and am nice to those I chose to be." Rai blinked rapidly and fussed a bit before pulling off the tiara on his head and laying down against my chest.

He cast a brief glance at Mom, then looked back at Patrick. Patrick's body swayed slightly. He forced out the question with difficulty. "Is it Aubree?" The young officer nodded. "It's Aubree." Mom froze mid-motion and turned sharply to glare at the officer. "What the hell are you talking about? How could that wretched girl be dead? "A scourge like her could live a thousand years! Even if she drove me to my grave, she'd still be fine! You people must've screwed up the test. Run it again!"

And it… oh, goddess, it made my grin widen, my lips curling into a sharper, darker smile as I looked down at the mess I had made.

My eyes twinkled with amusement as I asked aloud, “Oh, does this scare you, human?” I nudged the lifeless body with my foot again, my voice low, teasing, “Does even this filth’s death make you sad?”

“What are you doing to Lila?! Even in death, you won’t let her rest in peace!” “The dead deserve respect!
