Author Introduction: Here's a bunch of small drabbles, based upon songs from my MP3 player. I guess it's an iPod challenge type fic, but not quite, as I've bent the rules considerably. For starters, I just wrote what the hell I liked, and took as long as I wanted to write them. I didn't time myself to write at the same length of the song I was writing a drabble for. I don't work like that; poor concentration is my greatest enemy where it concerns writing, and trying to write whilst listening to a song at the same time is going to be hard for me. Never mind. It turned out well, I guess, and I had a lot of fun writing these. Some of them I feel could have been better and I struggled to get right, but I'll leave it for you to judge. Hope you enjoy! And please don't forget to leave some feedback, hmm? Cheers. - Laura
Always - Saliva
She hated him, or at least...she always thought she did. She believed him to be the root of all her problems.
Just one look at the Prince of Pain was enough to send Kirsty's blood boiling to the brim. Her nostrils would flare in defiance with every encounter, her skin would tighten and erupt in goose-pimples, her tear ridden eyes flashed with indignation, and her heart would race to the rhythm of the chains swinging freely around her as she stared him dead on, fiercely determined brown eyes meeting calm coal eyes.
The truth was, what she felt for him was far beyond hatred. It was an obsession. The two had shared this obsession from the moment their contrasting eyes had met across the hospital room over a decade before. Her obsession for him was far too powerful to comprehend or deal with, hence her misinterpreting it as hatred.
Now blood was on her hands...she'd killed for him. Killed because her own obsession of him overwhelmed her, because she ultimately feared her destiny with him and wished to avoid it.
The truth was...she loved him, even if she thought she also hated him, and she couldn't live without him.
