Okay so this is my first Dark-Hunter fan fiction. Someone lent me the books, and I fell in love with them…and was inspired to write a fan fiction. This is an AU/what if fic, set during Night Embrace. It's my take on what would happen had Eros arrow been able to work on soul-mates. I've only finished reading Dance with the Devil, so this won't mesh too much with the other books. However, I fully intend to bring Zarek into this story a bit...because he's my favorite! Anywhos, feedback Is much appreciated. The chapters are going to switch POVs from Sunshine to Zarek - this prologue is in Sunshine's POV.


Listen to Your Heart

"And there are voices that want to be heard, so much to mention but you can't find the words. The scent of magic, the beauty that's been, when love was wilder than the wind"

If you were to tell me three years ago that I was going to take my own life. I'd probably laugh at you and insist that you do not know me, because I, Sunshine Runningwolf, love life. I am an artist so even the pain of life is beautiful to me and worth experiencing. But of course, that was all before I met Talon. Before he took away the greatest gift anyone could ever have; the ability to love their soul-mate. Ever since then, my life has been so empty and worthless. Losing such a powerful love was like murder to my soul. I had been dying inside for so long, why not put an end to it? So that's what I did -- I walked into the kitchen, grabbed a knife and as calm as you please, I slit my wrist.

So as I lay here, blood escaping my body, I wonder --- will I be reborn again? And if so, will I remember my past lives? Will I remember Talon? Will that empty hole just come back and I wont know what's causing it? Everything is starting to go black, and I feel life escaping me. And then I hear a voice, "Oh, Sunshine, what did you do?" I can't say who it belongs to, but it sounds so familiar. And then another voice says, "It's kind of ironic. What you did to save her from death, has ultimately caused it."

As my life is slipping away, I feel something. Something I haven't felt in so long, and that, that makes it all worth it.
