"TH&TH chapter 41 teaser!"

That unfamiliar-but vastly becoming familiar-sense of fear creeps up my spine at hearing that particular threat.

Please, God. Anything but that.


“You cannot be that cruel.”

“Once again you underestimate me, Mr. Cullen.”

“B-but...it is horrid.” I stammer, taken aback by how My Obsession can be just as horribly ruthless as me. “It is almost demonic, maîtresse. Please no.”


“It’s reality.” She sighs. She is feigning regret, acting as if this is not beyond sadistic as she pressing the button and proceeds to make my ears bleed.



Every night in my dreams
I see you. I feel you.
That is how I know you go on.

Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on.



It practically physically burns my ears to hear this woman sing. It is a musical monstrosity, holds more evil in it with every passing note.




Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart, and
My heart will go on and on.

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're gone.




“FOR THE LOVE OF THE ANTI-CHRIST MAKE IT STOP!” I cry, grabbing two fistfuls of my own hair in my palms. “I will take you to bloody Pluto if you wish, just turn it off!”


“Okay.” She smiles Impishly, shutting off that vial song at last. “So tomorrow night?”

What she just did was so vindictive, so cunningly cruel, with such absolute disregard for me and my wishes.


There is no other individual on the planet better suited for me than she.
