Beautiful by cyanide blue
06/20/2003"Love. A curious word. Affection, caring, desire, lust, sympathy and tenderness. The dictionaries didn't agree, and every entry was hypocritical to the next. Veelas aren't all song and dance and beauty. There is a reason we are considered a curse. In the eyes of men, we are angels, creatures of light. There is a darkness to every light. It's hard to notice, because it happens so rarely. Whenever we get upset, it escapes... Because I bore the blood of the veela, I would never love, and never be loved."

Random Characters by Sorceress
11/30/2001Nothing in real life happens the way it does in fiction. It’s random, unpredictible, untidy. Especially when it comes to romance. You never say the right thing at the right time. Uncomfortable moments occur too often. Fate, I believe, is little more than chance.
