"Once you leave a way of life, it is often hard to get used to your new way of life." Anon
"Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and death is too." Mary Smith, a wandering soul who's past is driving her insane, now she is determined to destroy every last aspect of her past and she is near success, only one aspect remains, but for how long? (KarlxOC) Written for Element Guardian and other Karl Schubaltz fans.
As the smoke drifted up into the air behind her, Mary Smith sighed and continued walking, the penultimate part of her past was going up in smoke and flames, but it was working, she could feel her sanity regaining control. There was only one more thing to do now, kill him. The base exploded in a ball of fire and she turned round, "Sorry Phoebe, sorry Darren, even you Brad, after what you did to me, I'm sorry, but you were holding me down, letting my insanity take over, now I can take my mind back." she walked away from the base and her past, and not a single tear was shed, or a single sob uttered, for Mary Smith had no emotions except anger and hate, and it was all being directed at one man from now on, until he died at her hands.
She pulled a small book out of her bag and opened it to a random page: ""Once you leave a way of life it is often hard to get used to your new way of life." Anon" "Too true," she said, "but I can use that to my advantage, it'll take you time to get used to not being in the army, and now you've gone travelling, I know where you'll be, and when you'll be there, the past is coming to get you Karl, nothing you can do about it."
