“So, who’s going to die today?” I say out loud. It is early in the morning, the sun is out, the birds chirping, and they are roaming the ground. The roof building that I’m on is one of the few that hasn’t been invaded yet and I like to keep it that way.
“It’s way too early for you to be talking babe, go back to sleep.” My boyfriend half yells, half whispers to me. He’s inside our tent, getting...
“So, who’s going to die today?” Zane says walking around a group of sitting civilizans. Twirling the scythe up-and-down…
“Preferably no one!” Detective Connor says bursting through the door and… sliding? “Wow these floors are quite waxed-”
“Focus!” Aaron say coming from behind.
“R-Right! Hands up!”
Zane just sighs then laughs- _almost trips_
“Pfft-” Connor snickers and covers his mouth.

"So, who's going to die today?"
My hand went up almost immediately. When working for the king's secret spy agency, any mission I can get on I want. Seargeant Haku stared me down for a moment before saying, "Ah, whatever, Beckett gets it."

Each competitor stands on the rough sand, a cool, dry desert breeze rifling our scarves.
Flint smiles at the sight of my blackened eye; the result of his foolish fists.
“That eye isn’t looking too good, Sera. Maybe you should leave the competition before it becomes something worse, like a stab wound.” Flint smirks.
“Is that a threat?” I say back, not backing down.
Flint narrows his eyes, but i...
Nova stares at room, people filtering in, making her uneasy.
All of them look so…frilly. Big poofy gowns, shiny jewelry, and elaborate headdresses. Nova feels herself being weighed down just by looking at the heavy dressings.
The only weight she’ll ever want to know is the heft of her blade.
None of them carry weapons, assuming the knights will keep them safe. That makes Nova scoff. You shou...
“So, who’s going to die today?”
The room was dark, almost pitch black. Two men stood staring her in the eye. She had long dark blue hair that was tied up into a ponytail and a black outfit. Her yellow eyes glowed in the dark room. In one hand she held a gun and the other was hanging on her side.
“Well?” She stared them dead in the eyes, “I’m waiting.” She smiled as she pointed the gun at them. O...
“So, who’s gonna die today?” Athena asked her father as she eyed up the suitors. All of them looked pretty strong, but no one could pass her test. They all would die. It was just a matter of time.
