The sky was grey as the coffin shook and rattled until it tumbled down the pedestal to the ground toppling over and breaking the resident free. He tore through the old linen and squeezed himself out of it. Resin and blood co...
"No second chances," I smile and bring the knife closer to her, "You're going to enjoy this."
I dig into her scalp as she screams. I make sure it doesn't dig far enough to kill her.
"Feels so good, doesn't it?" I slowly drag the knife from her scalp to her forehead, "I love my dear so much you know? She's not just a kid who I'm raising. She's my future queen."
"Please stop!" She screams.
I dig the knife into her forehead as blood trickles down her face, "Can you feel your blood trickling down? Just like how your drink trickled down Yuna's head?"
I drag the knife over her eye and she screams fisting her hands. I drag it to her neck and stop.
"My soldier shall be doing the rest," I grin and hand the knife over to him.
I watch as he cuts through her skin and I enjoy her screams.
"Now," I pause, "What should I do with you?"
She was almost passed out from the loss of blood.
"Shall I throw you to the wolves?" I laugh, "Yes, I'll throw you to the wolves!"
I hold her by her hair and drag her to the wolf chamber, "I'll make everyone who hurts my dear suffer and die like how she did in her previous life."
I throw her in and the wolves pounce on her tearing her into pieces.

"Prepare a bath for me," I smile, "I can't have my dear see me drenched in blood."
"Yes, sir," the soldier says and leaves.
"Sir," my minister calls me, "This isn't right sir."
"What?" I turn around.
"You can't go around killing people for minor things," he looks down.
"It was not a minor thing," I clench my jaws, "My dear shed so many tears and for each tear she shed, it will be double the blood that's shed."
"Sir-"
"No," I stop him, "I won't let anyone hurt my dear and get away with it."

I walk back into her room to her peacefully sleeping. I walk closer and kneel beside her. Her breath fanning my face I inhaled the smell of salt — her tears.
"I won't let anyone make you cry," I say as tears roll down my cheeks, "I'm sorry I let you die a brutal death."
I smile through my tears as I see her chest rise and fall. Would our child have looked like her? Oh, how I wish I was there for you and our child. I'm sorry.
I stand up and make my way into my room. I plop onto my bed. What do I do about her questions about who I am to her? I can't lie, I can't say the truth, I am stuck.
I slowly close my eyes as I let the darkness consume me and my thoughts.

"Tae!" Yuna runs to me, "Tae! I made a friend!"
"What?" I ask.
"Yes! The teachers put us in pairs for a project and I got paired with Jungkook!" She turns around, "Say hi to Jungkook, Tae."
"Uh, hi," I look at the tiny boy.
"Hello, uncle," he greets me.
"Uncle?" I ask.
"Uh," he looks at Yuna, "Is he your brother? I'm sorry, Hyung."
"I'm not her brother," I state.
"Oh, then?" He asks.
"No more questions. Let's go, my dear," I take my dear's hand.
"No, Tae!" She stops me, "He's coming over for the project."
"What!?" I ask in disbelief.
