![]() Wickedly It Begins
-- EXCERPT: It was too beautiful of a day to die. Nevertheless, as daylight eclipsed into an evening of skulking creatures, Seeley fortified her resolve. Her outlook hadn’t changed, it was simply another night of abolishing inhuman cretins. Assessing the disfigured human, ice moved in her veins.

Refusing to let her insecurities get the best of her, she hardened her stance because this one looked despicable. In distorted motion the humanlike creature came at her. It lunged, targeting her slender throat with its slobbering maw and sharp teeth. Seeley should’ve spun and feinted. Instead she stood her ground, feet planted.

Pulling back her arm, she jammed the dagger into its chest. Not relinquishing the blade, she thrust deeper until her hand was painted in blood. ![]()
