See first installation for explainations, disclaimers, warnings, etc. But, then, of course... I dunno what the heck you think you're doing here if you haven't read the first chapter, and if you have, then why do you care about reading explainations, disclaimers and warnings, because you've already read them, right?
Last installation, cats! I hope you enjoyed it! If you did, I *cherish* replies, which boost my ego as an author, and I have this odd, unexplainable tendency to write more... *coughhintcough*
Das!! Enjoy!

"In the Eye of the Beholder"
-Bradley Crawford-
---
I'm not sure why everyone loves him. Maybe it's just in the eye of the beholder. Anyone can fall in love with a pretty face or a cheerful laugh, even someone who's never loved before.
My life has been pre-planned. Some Fate decided that my life would never be subject to the woven pattern of time, so my thread was pulled out, burned... I stand on the outside, watching the tapestry as it is made. My retaliation... is to change the design.
But have you ever noticed... that sometimes small things are out of your grasp? You can plan to take care of them, plan to get rid of them, plan, plan, and plan... but it can never happen. And you don't know why.
I do know why.
It's him. He is a thread that refuses to lie flat in the tapestry. He prefers to unravel, and gather again around his friends and his family, doing *exactly* what he chooses... and I can't stop him.
No matter what I do, he has a happy ending. It scares me, frightens me, even... that there is no future I can make for him. I did not even cause him pain by killing his sister... I was not involved in that decision. Nothing I, myself, can do or influence will ultimately bring complete misery to him.
He escapes me. He smiles, laughs, and is happy, and I can't stop it. I cannot force him into the mold I came from, the one where you come out cold, heartless... uncaring. All are words commonly used to describe me, and I wouldn't deny it if the question were put to me. He is beyond my evil.
And that's why I love him.
There's no way I can make him sad.
