OBSESSION

I can still see her.
Ivory skin stained bright scarlet;
Dramatic shadows dancing about her small features, cast by the fire consuming burnt homes all around her.
Her chest, her breathing, all I can hear with their gasping and forced pace.
Dead bodies lay about her feet. Men, women and children alike.
The smell of burning flesh consumes the air,
Yet all I can scent is her.
Her sadness.
Her desperation.
Her ultimate anger.
Rage.

All for me.

I thrive in it.

Breathe it in.

Already my power has reached its ultimate high,
All given to me by her.

But thats not all I want.

It takes every ounce of self restraint I boast to keep me from her.
Yet it will take no less than one word,
And I will be lost.

To Her.

How?
How can one being have such power over me?
A human, no less?

I want it.
More Power.
That power.
Her power.

Her.

Yet I have been forbidden.

Forbidden to rid myself of that which has come to plague my mind.
Eat away at my every thought.
My every move.

Yet I must.

I must take it.
Have it.
Give it to myself till I am filled.
Then rid myself of this infernal torment which threatens to overpower me.

It is leeching out of me every drop of self control I have to stare at her this way and not do anything.
Her rage tangible in the air.
Her blood on her face, others blood staining her hands.
. Her anger so powerful it manifests itself around her in pure, crackling power.
Her never ceasing loathe for what I have done calling to me, beckoning me.
My power calls in response, feeding off that delicious pain.
Yet I do nothing.

But then, it breaks.

My self control ends.
And all it takes is one word.
But a whisper from her lips in the climax of rage
She looks at me, red eyes aflame.
Her lips part, and suddenly that is all I can her.

"Xellos."

Neither of which were ever finished! whails TT Stupid dead fandom..Why didnt I listen to CFB when I was twelve and watch the series besides obsessing over cardcaptor Sakura? WHY? Thats it. Im mailing cartoon network >>;; I dont care if the dubbing needs to be shot three ways and out, I NEED FANFICTION DANGNABIT > (Oh...and I am too writing this as a lina/ Xel fic..In a waaaaay. Im obsessive with Xellos remianing in character so it was a tad difficult, but I have found a way! >D Though Lina is genuinely hahems Pimping in this. No! I sware! It starts out Lina/ Gourry, goes to Lina/ Zel for a very nice long time, then breaks off with Lina/ Xel. XD
