Character: Ariana Dumbledore
you can feel it p u l l i n g at you,
tugging at your wrists, ankles, at your very

it scares you, scares you.
but you don't know how to stop it.

you are just a puppet,
your flickering shadow dancing on the wall
as this thing inside you pulls the strings.
-xXx-
and there is nothing you can do.
