These four had also been hired, though they claimed ignorance of their employer. "The bald one for questioning," I decided after conferring silently with Amelia. "The rest die now." This time I handled all three executions, methodically tearing out hearts and dropping them onto the growing pool of blood at the foot of the dais.

The people I have helped in one way or the other to get out of trouble. Then there was my mate and Anna kissing each other's sweetly as the executioner raised the blade up and in slow motion began to bring it down aiming for my long white neck

Lucien waits with absolute, icy discipline until her breathing stabilizes before probing softly, "Identify the monster who wants to harm your child." With a shaking, bone-white finger, she points directly at the screen where Helena's face is still visible. A look of agonizing betrayal twists her features, her mind fighting against the return of a brutal memory. With a heavy sigh, she closes her eyes tight and whispers, "Executioner. That woman is a cold-blooded murderer. She slaughtered my beautiful boy."

(Old Lady Costa) That were her last word, before she died in the hospital with no one by her side but me. True to her request, I keep my words to her.

In the silence following the execution, in the middle of this gilded room that now smells of death, a new creature is born. She is no longer of ice and ashes. She is of blood and vengeance.

He looked around and saw their thirst for blood—beasts devoid of feelings of kindness and pity, machines made to kill without mercy. He decided that day to be the executioner instead of the one who was lashed, and since that day killing became his hobby, a hobby he took that taught him the laws of survival, either to be the murdered or the killer, the prey or the hunter, the oppressed or the oppressor, and he decided that everything after the ...............

The firelight was dying, the torches sputtering and fading one by one, and the open space where the executions had taken place was empty now except for the dark stains on the ground and the men who were already hosing the blood away like it was nothing more than mud that needed washing off.
