Basically a Draco and Hermione story, with a plot.
Dark Existence
Man or beast, I'm neither
Yet of both I am a part
The beast dwells within my soul
The man, amongst the ruins of my heart...
The beast so hideous a thing
The man but an empty shell
Awaiting salvation that never comes
Existing in eternal hell...
I long to see the sun again
As I long for love's embrace
But just as love can never be mine
The sun will never warm my face...
Lonely is my dark existence
I am cursed to roam the night
Though I feed to quell the hunger
I am starving for love and light...
by Elizabeth Camp
( Draco)
Preface
I'd never given much thought about how I would die. It had never even crossed my mine, though I'd had reason enough in the last few months, but even if I had, I would never have imagined it like this. Staring, without breathing, into the eyes of the devil himself, as he looked cheerfully back at me.
Surely this must be a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone that I loved. Noble, even. I mean that ought to count for something.
I know that if I had rejected love I wouldn't be facing death now. But as terrified as I am, I can't bring myself to regret that decision. When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your wildest expectations, it's not reasonable to grieve, even when it comes to an end.
And with that, He smiled in an almost kind way as he sauntered forward to kill me.
