Waltz with Death

"So this is what they mean when they say your life flashes before your eyes when you die." Betrayed. Battered. Broken. Evangeline Vermillion has had enough of her pathetic life. She was young—only in her early 20s—and she had planned to end it all by setting herself on fire. That was how she met Death—cold, dark, tall, and...handsome? Huh. Who knew the Grim Reaper could look like that? He takes her hand and guides her through the In-Between, the sacred realm between the Land of the Living and the Afterlife. Together, they revisit her most important memories. From the misfortunes of her childhood, to the chaos and bloodshed of the wrong kinds of love, Evangeline must confront the demons of her past to get to The Other Side. Through all of the pain and anguish, Death stands with her, an enigmatic companion and unlikely confidant. And in their brief waltz between realms, Evangeline finally finds what she always wanted but never had: to belong and to be loved.

The Police

I felt blood draining from my face, and my fingers wrapped around the coffee cup grew weak from terror. Slowly, I placed the cup down to prevent it from spilling all over me in case I accidentally dropped it.

I then met his gaze and saw a weird glint in his eyes. I wasn't sure if this was the first time I had seen it or if it had been there the whole time. All I knew was that I was feeling chills running down my spine at how intensely he was looking at me.

I could faintly hear a song playing in the background from inside the coffee shop.

Every breath you take... Every move you make...

"I'm always watching you, Evangeline," Klaus smiled, and I finally understood the emotion misted all over his eyes.

Obsession.

"Oh, so this was why your Death hated him so much," Fake Death remarked dryly. "He's a fucking psycho."
