Disclaimer: I do not own the Inheritance Cycle, or Skillet.

Ramblings with Ranger: This is a tag to my story Overcome, but you don't have to have read Overcome to understand this drabble. It was based off of the Skillet song Dead Inside. Good song. This is from Murtagh's POV, but you could probably figure that out on your own...

Dead Inside

I would do anything for her.

I would walk through fire and rain.

I would do anything for my love.

Forever and always.

I loved her. I had always loved her. I have never told her.

I would feel dead inside.

She would bring me back.

Only she.

She saved me from the monster, from the death, inside of me.

I had tried to fight my love.

But I couldn't escape.

I found I wanted it just the way it was.

I thought she would leave me if she knew what I am.

She never left me.

She never left me alone.

She was always there.

Always at my side.

Always ready with a hug.

Always ready with a smile.

Always ready with a shoulder to cry on.

Always ready with a comforting word.

She was always there.

Forever and always.
