How Liam And Darla Met -

It was a rainy afternoon that day in Galway, Ireland . In fact it had rained for the past four days, but still the rain never stopped Liam O'Connor from going down to the village pub and from getting a large pint of ale. Liam could never do anything right in his father Ciaran O'Connor's eyes. Always doing it wrong or in the wrong way… never right. When Liam finally realised that he could never win over his fathers affections he rebelled. He would be noticed one way or another. Liam downed coin after coin on Ale and slept with all the whores and maids in the village. Liam had given himself a reputation, but not a very good one at that. Whenever Liam would go home drunk Ciaran would be waiting. An argument or two would take place, but they all ended the same with Liam passing out.

Today though… Today on this rainy afternoon would be different. It would be memorable, the birth of a monster. Liam staggered into a pub wet as a rat and ordered for a pint of Ale be brought to him immediately. He joined a group of men surrounded by prostitutes. When he sat down there eyes were on him, he was the richest of the men so he would pay more. There was one however who kept her eyes plastered on him the whole night. Liam gave her flirtatious smiles and glances. He was infatuated with this woman and her beauty. Her long golden curled tresses, and deep blue eyes that made him melt if he stared at them for long enough, she was an angel.

By the end of the night Liam could barely remember his own name. As he walked out onto the wet cobble stoned street he felt her gaze. He turned sharply to his left and saw her standing under arch of a closed of alley. As if under a thrall he made his way towards her stumbling once or twice. When he reached her she looked up and smiled at him. "Me lady why ye out at this time of the night? It's not safe, strange men could be lurking around." he slurred. "I assure you kind sir , I can look after myself." the women said. "So what be ye lady name?" Liam asked. "Darla" she replied with a mischievous smile.
