Sick Bargain (Vile House #1)

by Nordika Night

Remiel Sauder has become everything to me. My property. My obsession. My fixation. My dream. I’ve never dreamed before.

got attached. I don’t know what love is, but I know what obsession is, and Remiel is the focus of my life. I’ve never had an obsession quite like him, and the loss of it feels too much. It’s impossible. It’s wrong. There’s no longer a Krypt if there isn’t a hero.

Am I important to you? I should have said yes. I should have admitted it. I should have told him that he’s everything to me, even though I don’t know what it means. I’ve never regretted anything, but I regret this. I regret my bargain and my obsession. Because it fucking hurts!

“I told you that love feels like obsession to me, and then in the next breath, I told you I’m obsessed with you. I admitted I shattered when you tried to fucking die on me because it goddamn broke me, Remiel. I put my marks everywhere on your body so you hopefully never do it again, which means that I give a shit about you. I got locked up in a cell while you were dying because I thought you were dead, and since I no longer had you, I no longer had any fucking reason to keep going. I spent the whole time being electrocuted and broken because… because I broke you. What else do you want from me? Jesus.”

Open your eyes and see me, Krypt. Look at me as yours and remember all the ways we fester together to create something poetically eternal. See my sickness and let it match yours, and when we’re combined as one, love me as an obsession.
