After the lad opened the door, the fiery tiger came out of it. For a second, the lad looked the princess in the eye. His face didn't reflect any regret at all. A faint grin appeared in his face. But before he even uttered a sound, the fangs of the tiger were on him. A second later he was torn apart and nothing but a bloody pulp remained of what once a young man.
The princess felt in her chair, but didn't let even a sigh to be heard. Her father stood proud beside her for a moment and then left. When he disappeared from her sight, the princess burst into tears. She thought for a moment that she had made the wrong decision, but when she saw the eyes of her lover, she knew she made the best decision and that any of them didn't want to be separated nor to escape from their star-crossed love, since they both knew that the princess would follow him to the paths of the dead that very night.

Good, it was tempting to kill the young man, right? Speacially because of the background of the princess.
ResponderEliminarI liked the ending.
Just one note with the use of the verb: feel felt felt (sentir) and fall fell fallen (caer).
