Author's Note:
As you can see I have completely changed the beginning of the story. Some of you ma like this, and some of you may be completely pissed at me for this. I am strangely okay with that. I have made big changes with the story, and have started to get it really written down, instead of the head case story it was before. I do plan on continuing this further than it was before. A warning to you before reading, I am largely writing this as I go, whenever the muse hits me, so updating may be few and sporadic. But do not fear for I have a determination to finish this monster, for I am not dead yet. You may celebrate.
If you think you can handle slow updates, then go ahead and read. Enjoy and criticize to your hearts content. I mean it, rip the ever loving Hell out of it, I laugh at flames, but I am a shameless complement fisher, so keep those rolling too. All editing marks will be taken with the utmost seriousness; if I'm not laughing, that is.
Have Fun!

So clever, whatever, I'm done with these endeavors
Alone I'll walk the winding way (here I stay)
It's over, no longer, I feel it growing stronger
I live to die another day, until I fade away
Why give up? Why give in?
It's not enough, it never is
So I will go on until the end
We've become, desolate
It's not enough, it never is
But I will go on until the end

Prologue
I live to die another day, until I fade away
I never looked too deeply back on my life. First of all there wasn't really anything there to remember, and what I did remember was much too dark and depressing to even be worth contemplating. My life just had a bad habit of sucking like that.
Rushing through the crowds towards the crew that I had come to accept as my family and the man that had stolen my heart, I was sure that my life might not be as bad as I first thought. Ducking under a blade and dodging the discharge of a gun, I ran.
I ran pushing my body towards its limits, I ran towards those that I had betrayed, I ran in hopes of fixing it all, I ran to escape, I ran in fear, I ran towards my past, I ran to my future, more importantly I ran to him. I had spent the last couple of years running; never staying in one place long, for my fear drove me to run.
But then I met them.
Skidding I swung around a corner, punching one man in the face while dodging another mans sword. The fight was getting brutal. Blood was spattered on the street and corpses lay haphazardly on the ground. It made for a gruesome sight. Had it been any other situation I would have been long gone by now, taking what I needed and slipping away like water on river rocks, avoiding the fight before it got too bloody.
It was for them now that I stayed.
They who held the keys to past and future, it was them who had finally given me a reason to stop running. I was done running from my past, done avoiding the world around me; I was ready to face my future now. In the distance I could see the clock tower; they would need my help if they were going to save the people in square in time. Even if they didn't trust me anymore.
Despite my betrayal I would save them. It was a noble thing to do, was it not? To save those you loved, even if they did not love you?
With sweat beading across my temples, my heart pounding in my ears and my breath coming out in pants, I dashed through the chaotic square. Praying above all that I was not too late.
"THE CLOCK-TOWER! IT'S IN THE CLOCK-TOWER!"
For they had made my life worth watching.
Surround me, it's easy, to fall apart completely
I feel you creeping up again (In my Head)
It's over, no longer, I feel it growing colder
I knew this day would come to end, so let this life begin
Why give up? Why give in?
It's not enough, it never is
So I will go on until the end
We've become, desolate
It's not enough, it never is
But I will go on until the end
