"-Can I know why you called me for?
-to talk…
-About what exactly?
-a lot of things…but let's start how you are a pathetic liar Kieran." She said facing him with a broken bracelet dangling from her hand. Kieran's eyes widened but he didn't utter a word.
Mal raised the bracelet up in front of her face shining at the full moon's light, and she was smirking at his shocked expression.
"-looks familiar doesn't it?
-you brought me her to show me a broken bracelet.
-you mean Rosaline's broken bracelet.
-where did you find it? I gifted this bracelet to her.
-and you took her life in return." Mal said taking few steps but still away from him and her stern gaze never left her.
"-I told you I didn't kill her Mal.
-wow…slowdown my boy…who said anything about killing Rosaline, I didn't say anything." Kieran knew that he messed up and he should have shut up.
"-But I gotta admit, you are an excellent actor, I really believed you that night…no one would think Rosaline's Killer is a good liar who can fool anyone with his tears.
-you have no evidence to prove that I killed her, add to that you weren't with us when all this mess happened."
Mal started laughing at him but shortly before she got back to her serious expression:
"-you mean when she slapped you and then you chocked her to death and how she tried to free herself from you but she couldn't. I know…pretty shocking right." The color drained from Kieran's face, he was caught off guard by her statement but how did she find out? She literally described everything with details! ...when he was lost in his thoughts Mal added:
"-and she torn your sleeve button." She showed him the red glowing button making him swallow his salvia in disbelief.
"-and also her bracelet and put it inside your pocket, but of course you were too dumb to notice. Add to that, you broke the mirror during your unbelievable performance to hide her nail digging trace on your hand. Tell me if I am wrong Kieran" Mal's smirk faded soon when Kieran started clapping then said:
"-that was the best crime analyzing. I am really impressed Mal. But who is the stupid now: you who find out late or me who didn't hide his crime trace well?
-why did you kill her Kieran?
-isn't obvious or do you want me to tell you myself?
-what do you mean?
-I mean that finding out who killed her won't change the fact that she is just a maid who had a pathetic death because of an incubus. And by the way you should have trusted Andrew; he understood the game from the begging.
-Incubus…but …are you…" he didn't let her finish before he started walking toward her, Mal's room wasn't totally surrounded by the moon's light so a big space was covered by darkness, allowing the shadows to move freely.
The girl took steps backward when the boy's silhouette appeared suddenly in front of her, with his arms on the balcony balustrade, more clear; but different.
The white fluffy delicate hair, turned into a black raven hair with a longer mullet, glowing under the moon. His eyes, the eyes she once got lost in and adored, are now a blood red color as if they are two shining gems from the deep hell, glowing in mischief, sending a cold shiver down her spine. His pink lips were curled up in an arrogant smirk.
Their faces were close enough to notice every detail; his sharp and his pointy noise who almost touched hers, his thick eyebrows who were hidden under his messy bang. She felt afraid but nevertheless, she kept her poker face on and pushed him away from her making him smile showing his white fangs.
He looked attractive more than she could imagine, his face was charming, and he was irresistible making her unable to stop staring at his beauty. She shocked her head knowing it was an illusion made by incubus to make humans fall for them. She kept staring not believing her eyes.
"-you were an incubus all this time.
-Cambion…to be specific…if I was a full demon I won't be able to get inside your friend's house or handle the shit that witch burned that day.
-I was protecting a demon all this period and almost my friends got killed because of you. I trusted you Kieran.
- So you knew also that I was the one who sent the incubus to attack your friends in the forest.
-WHAT? It was you! They promised to protect you by their lives and you wanted to kill them! WHY?
-but the most important question is… why you didn't kill me now? I thought you hate incubus more than anything in the world, and you vowed to kill everyone you encounter…that brings the thought: why am I still alive, rooming around?
-who said I won't." he approached her and said with confidence in his deep voice:
"-we both know you won't darling." He is pushing her button and she knew it well but she played it off.
"-don't you think you are too much self-assertive Kieran. Because I assure you, you want live to see the light of another day.
-you mean our marriage will be cancelled…oh wait you said you would rather marry an incubus than marrying me. You can't take back your words.
-you are psychopath!
-oh no…I love to call myself creative. But I can't wait for the day you will be mine.
-In your dreams Nox.
-to your bad luck my lady all my dreams… come true." He said the last part holding her by waist near to him, but she punched him making the corner of his lips bleed; and before he could react she kicked him in the stomach and a sudden pain sting her injured waist but she ignored it.
Kieran stood up from the ground giggling then he wiped the blood his thump, raising his eyebrows and nodding his head in satisfaction.
"-For someone who was stabbed hours ago, and still able to give such a strong kink. Well, that's impressive.
-this marriage won't continue and I will assure that a jerk like you won't be the king.
-stop the marriage… and the little princess with your two annoying friends will be dead." She was shocked at his threatening, how could he kill his best friend who trusts him more than herself.
"-you can't!
-try me then… and you will watch them… leaving this life slowly …in front of your pretty eyes." he said slowly with a stern voice signing to her to mark his words.
She was about to stab him but he swiftly stopped her, holding her wrist inches away from his firm chest and suddenly holding her into his embrace tightly causing a torment pain in her waist.
She dropped the knife breathing heavily to hold her tears back, Kieran whispered in her ear:
"-you'd better watch your actions, or you will end up like that stupid maid…even that I love your aggressive and savage side but don't try to kill me…because you will end up hurting yourself instead." Kieran felt Mal's body getting heavier and a hot liquid covering his hand.
He pulled slowly to find his palm covered in blood….
