For She Is Wrath

Aimee :)

And he lit it on fire and smiled as I burned with it.

My heart splintered, knowing that she had no one left, that she was alone now, and I still had people who loved me.

I clasped her hands in the boat, and it rocked with the force of my movement. "You're my family now too."

This time, I would be the one in control, I would be the one to watch as his entire life crumbled. I took a moment to center myself before walking off the edge of the cliff, letting a slow breath run through me. Then, I made my expression a pleasant mask.

This was who I would become in front of him. A sweet, beautiful confection.

And when he bit into the honeyed sugar, it would be poison filling his mouth.

He seemed ro take my silence as assent, and he continued. "Ta read you like scripture, a prayer: And all the worship I felt, I'd heap at your feet." His words were low, like he was actually praying, or reciting an incantation of the djinn, words for whispering magic and power.
