You’ll Fall Like A Guillotine
I love combining music and writing. Making playlists for WIPs really helps me get in the mood and prepare for starting a piece. And sometimes songs just inspire one completely.
For the past two days I have been listening to Guillotine by YADI and after listening to it once or twice a story started bursting from my head like Athena. It’s a glimpse into the background of a minor character from another work.
I’m still working on the first draft but here’s the beginning of the story. Please excuse the draftiness.
She had not killed in some time.
Why should she have to when she had plenty of humans willing to kneel before their queen and offer their blood, humans who proudly displayed the scars on their wrists from her delicate nibbles as proof of royal favour?
She did not have to kill now, either. At least not personally.
She could have sent in a small army of humans armed with their barbaric guns. They were more than willing to sacrifice themselves for their queen and her consort.
Or she could send in her people to complete this task. They were stronger than humans and could easily overpower those monsters in the traditional way.
But she did not. Even with her rusty killing skills, even if she had to do it alone, it was her consort they had taken. Thus it was going to be by her hands, her fangs that he was going to be avenged.
