My beloved is a son of the wind, the water, the earth, and the fire, sculpted by divine hands from an ancient magic, and I, alone, am the beating of his heart—for my beloved is mine, and I am his. Written for the Side Character Contest. Beta'ed by Mr. DB. SM owns Twilight.

"Do you know what love is? Love is decimation. Love is knowing someone so well that you know exactly how to cut down to their core, what buttons to push and where to prod to drag up their vulnerability. Knowing just how to thoroughly and completely destroy a person… and then not. Of course I'm scared of love. You'd be a damn fool not to be."
