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.

A monster nightmare

Delaney lay curled up in bed, her eyes wide open and her mind restless. She couldn't tell if it was the effect of the book she just finished reading, or the cold weather that made her shiver every now and then.

It was pouring hard outside, and every time thunder rumbled in the sky she would flinch, then look out the window subconsciously. Her heart felt heavy for some reason and her chest felt stuffed. The food that had been on the bedside table for a while now was turning cold but she couldn't bring herself to stomach anything, and she just stared into the darkness dazedly.

The weather had been gloomy all day, giving her the perfect excuse to avoid leaving her room. She didn't even take a bath and immediately jumped in bed as soon as she finished reading about Merikh's family. All she could think of was how could someone like that exist? If she didn't know better, she would have thought that the story was just a fiction.
