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.

In the dungeon (part 2)

Delaney spent the night in the cell sitting on the floor. She was dozing off every now and then but she didn't want to lie down because she was wearing only a thin-strapped dress and the floor was very cold. She tried very hard not to fall asleep but her body eventually gave in and she lay down near the door. She would be awoken every now and then by the cold or noise from the other prisoners so when morning came, she had barely got any sleep and her eyes had dark circles.

The man she had seen cleaning the floor when she was brought to the cell by Keir's butler returned with cleaning materials and started with the first cell. The prisoner had to get out first but he had to be watched by the two guards. 

When he was cleaning the second cell, the prisoner got out and went to stand outside Delaney's cell. The guards didn't stop him and it was like he knew they wouldn't because he didn't ask for consent.
