Do you know how many times a day we pass each other?
To be honest, I've been watching you for a long time. I want you to be my next victim.
You're the prey and I'm the hunter.

I want you! You will be mine! I'll go crazy if I can't catch you now!
I want to see your smile. The smile that I love so much and what makes you so radiant.
The only thing better than that is when you cry. You look so fragile because of it.
You embody perfection. At least to me.

A miracle has happened!
I finally got to talk to you. I asked you out to dinner.
You smiled at me and whispered a soft "I do ".
I almost fainted, because of happiness.
This is the first step in my extremely deadly and bloody romantic plan.

I LOVE YOU! I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU!
I thought you were just going to be another wild one for me. But you are more than this.
I need you. I need you!
Soon I'll have you! My bride, my wife, my darling, my everything.

I've been struggling for almost two months to finally be together.
You should see, I'm perfect for you! You need me!
I can't stand invisibility.
Who was the other one?
It doesn't matter.
That pathetic idiot can't come between us anymore.
I took care of it.

You smiled and laughed at first, but when you realized what I was up to...
I finally got your tears.
I asked for your hand. You nodded, sobbing.
You were wearing an old-fashioned white dress. My grandmother's diamond necklace and earrings looked lovely on you. They matched your snow-white skin perfectly. You looked beautiful in the pale moonlight.
Our ceremony was short. Just we were and the forest dwellers. And of course the priest I kidnapped from the nearby church.
After the happy "I do", I slit the throat of the useless holy pot. I threw his corpse into the garden pond. Of course, you didn't see this.
Because you were waiting for me, in the bed, as a good wife should. You were so willing and soft. You were my treasure, my darling, and I rewarded you for your obedience. I treated you like a queen.

It has finally happened!
I got you! I got you the way I always wanted.
After our passionate lovemaking, I dressed you back in your wedding dress. I saw the confusion in your eyes. You didn't understand why I was doing it. How could you understand? You don't know the beauty in the pain and the blood.
Then I drew my knife and used it as a brush to paint over your linen skin. Your white dress slowly turned ruby. This shade of red suited you so perfectly.
You whimpered softly and shed one last tear.
Your eyes reflected the stars of the dark sky.
But the life had faded from them.
I confess. Maybe I miss the happy glow from them a little.
