If it was to burst, Jefferson Hope would die. He wanted to make the most of his life with the time he had left, which apparently to him, was to kill people (which is discovered later on in the book).…

I leap away from cold, fierce eyes set in a stony face. But for the blood drawing down dour lips, its’ chiseled features are indifferent to the hot rage in its’ eyes. I recoil, but my back slams hard against the dank crypt wall. I would rip my terrified stare from the creature, if I could and I know not to turn my back to the beast.
