WIP INTRODUCTION: BEAST BEHIND A ROSE

genre: fiction/semi historical

narration: pov switch

Lethal. That was all Remy would ever be, an uncontrollable monster.

His breathing remained ragged, his reflection multiplied in the shattered glass. What else was he to see? Where a man should of once stood was the blood of an innocent slain, the eyes of a beast, the hands of hungry vengance. Where was the humanity? The love? Anything that remained sane was in the hands of his partner Ezekiel. How innocent, how sweet was the man holding a poison apple. A gentle dove encased in a sea of lies, soon to be engulfed in a pain he would never escape. He was a rose, the light in which Remy would forever pray for. A detective on a case of a murder for a killer he loved. How bittersweet, the taste always in the back of his mouth. Honey and blood intertwining to create the harmony that Remy wanted to inject into his veins, this feeling, this rush...he didn't want to lose Ezekiel. For Ezekiel was his liquor and Remy found himself to be the addict.
