Duchess of Death

"I'm afraid I will have to cut this time short.
"By that, I mean... I cannot take my time killing you."
My smile grew wicked, and I gazed up, feeling my pupils slit as my eyes glowed a dark red.
Shadows covered my form, devouring every inch of human skin that I had, blackening every part of me.
I was truly, the angel of darkness.
"Duchess," I said then, smile darkening,
"it's time to start counting."
