Killer Betrayals chapter 22

^^^^Because his poetry is absolutely amazing and he’s just as amazing if not more so! Check out his work, and I can pretty much guarantee you’ll love it as much as I do! :D

Music Video on side is Flyleaf “All Around Me,” cause I think it goes well and I <3 it! Plus it makes me think of @KeepTheRhythms poem “Umbrella” with all the colors running down in the background. xD

Anna’a POV

I sat there frozen in place while my mind scrambled to think of a way to explain the picture Reece was currently gripping like he wanted to choke the life out of it…if there was a life to choke that is…
