NOT REPLACING CURRENT PARTNERS!

(TRIGGER WARNINGS: Death, Murder//Manipulation)

——

Joseph Townsend only saw one thing as he looked amongst the sea of bodies that littered his floor: Ideas. Living ones, at that. They were drunk, high ideas… but having fun with their drinks and mingling none the less. Nothing new for Joseph, of course.

He kept an eye on his silver watch, hands ticking down second by second. 11:12 PM. So much for making a wish, he supposed. Quietly, he slipped away from his party guests to prepare for…well. There was no need to make a spectacle of it.

…..

The chime of a clock somewhere in the mansion signaled 12 am. There was no announcement when lights in the mansion dimmed. No warnings when the windows were shut tight and the doors locked. Only hushed murmurs and awkward laughter.

He stalked through the nervous crowd, axe in hand for the first victim of the night: a young woman. Couldn't have been older than twenty-three. Before she could protest, she was in pieces on the floor.

One scream set off another. And another. Until each idea of his was stumbling around in the dark, screaming like banshees and toppling over each other. Glasses broke. Phones were dropped. Joseph simply continued with his work.

One particularly stubborn fellow refused to go down the first time, so Joseph spent extra time with him. He cut into his neck like a butcher would slaughter a pig, spraying his face with crimson the minute his blade hit an artery. He kicked in his own guest room doors, dragging people from under his mattress frame. His expression was beady. Disassociated.

Y/C hid in a linen closet, their only company being freshly washed sheets. Pure and untarnished, a mirror for the violence outside. They were a plus one, dragged here by a partner that had more money than they knew what to do with.

Slowly, the man crept up the stairs, grip tightening on the axe handle. He had checked everywhere. But one breath was all it took before he stalked towards the source of noise.

Soon, Y/C found themselves face to face with the author. Covered in blood, yet smiling. All he could offer them was a single phrase:

“Congratulations.”

——— Hello! Today I'm looking for a darker romance! My character, Joseph Townsend, is an accomplished author with a “strange” method of getting inspiration! Y/C, luckily or unluckily, has become his final lead. Seeing them as worthy, he makes them his successor to his wealth, stories, and murders. That is, until his children and ex-wife come back into the picture.

Seeking what they believe to be theirs, the rest of the family fights for his money..even if their father and Y/C go down with it! If, of course, Y/C doesn't side with them first...
