Pristine fear bloomed in Richard's eyes. The look was a lovely one, because it wasn't just the fear that captured those dark eyes; it was a clear message of who stood before him, looking down at him with glowing red eyes… his god.
His mouth moved, but his voice was trivial to me, and I silenced whatever word he tried to utter. I have had enough of hearing him speak.
"I have always wondered how a person will react when karma comes to take. I have imagined a shuddering fool, a begging pest, or even a fool being a fool; the thoughts were endless, but this is new. You're paralyzed to the point you cannot move and remain where you are, like a hollow being of emptiness."
I crouched to him and grasped his hair to keep my gaze tethered to his. "I had no intention of letting you walk out of here alive."
His eyes shook horrified, but then it dimmed as if he had resigned to his fate.
