Wandering Hearts

It is said that one can never defy fate. This notion proves its authenticity as Delaney finds herself caught up in the whims of her decided fate. Robbed of control over her own life, Delaney finds herself torm between feuds between mythical beings, creatures that have little or no regards to her emotions. As an abused child, Delaney grew up mostly detached from the world around her and when she decides to take control of her life, she chooses to be a bounty hunter to make a living and makes her own rules, living her life away from anything that causes her distress. But her world turns upside down as she becomes burdened by a murder accusation which almost causes her her life. At the day of her execution, she's saved by a dragon, to everyone's dismay, and is forced to live her life like a captive as she's yet again robbed of her own life. **** Broken hearts, misplaced souls and twisted minds. Even though our pasts may not predict our future, it will always be part of our future and present. Past mistakes, past heartbreaks, past miseries. They ruin us in a way that we are so scared of endings, that we always end up not beginning. And maybe all we need is a little sunshine. A little flower, and most of all... to forgive ourselves for things that we could and couldn't control.

It was Delaney's turn to be surprised now and her eyes narrowed suspiciously. Keir walked in just in time to hear Xander yelling incredulously. He slowly but steadily walked to the dining table and took a seat beside Delaney.

"You know my mother?" Delaney asked cautiously and Xander schooled his expression before answering with another question.

"Just to be sure," he paused, shifting his gaze to Keir, "is it THE Anastasia?" Delaney's eyebrows furrowed in confusion when Keir nodded his head. Shifting his eyes back to Delaney, Xander still had a surprised look on his face, finding it hard to believe and asked again, "she's your mother?" 

"Why? What's wrong with her? And how come you know my mother?" Delaney inquired. She didn't know if THE Anastasia was her mother but it did make her suspicious of Xander's behaviour. And the witch again?
