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.

Party cut short

Freedom isn't enough, what I want doesn't have a name yet.- Clarice Lispector 

Reuben had been engaging Delaney in conversations from this topic to the other, his curiousity about her only growing the more they talked. After her second glass, Delaney had started to loosen up and she could already feel her mind becoming muddled. 

A server walked by and Reuben stopped him to get a glass for himself and another for Delaney. She didn't know what this one was made of but she drank it anyway. 

"So you live with Keir?" Reuben asked as he tipped her chin to stare into her eyes. Delaney slapped his hand away and answered in a slur, "yes, and Xander. Oh, and Alex. But just for now."

"What do you mean just for now?"
