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.

Flying in the night

"What do you think you're doing?" Merikh glowered at Delaney angrily, forcing the words between gritted teeth.

Delaney was still reeling from the shock of almost falling off a cliff, and her heart beat so loudly that it was the only sound in their ears. Her eyes were wide with panic and she stared into Merikh's which were ablaze with anger. He was lying on top of her, shirtless as usual, and her hands were the only thing between their bodies.

Her lips parted to take in some air and Merikh released her, standing on his feet and stretching his hand to help her up. Delaney grabbed his hand and pushed herself from the ground. Her chest heaved up and down and it took her a moment to calm down.

"I wasn't trying to jump," she mumbled as she dusted off her clothes.

Merikh stared at her with displeasure in his eyes and Delaney almost rolled her eyes at him.
