WORDS ARE WHAT WE SAY WHEN WE TRY TO EXPRESS HOW WE FEEL…WORDS ARE WHAT WE CANNOT SAY WHEN IT IS TO MUCH TO EXPRESS….AND WORDS ARE WHAT WE SAY WHEN NOTHING IS LEFT TO SAY EXCEPT WORDS OF HATE AND BITTERNESS….FOR WITH IT COMES EVIL AND EVIL IS FOUND IN MANY FORMS ……BORN OUT OF HATE, OF SIN AND EVEN OUT OF LOVE…BUT OUR EVILS WERE BORN OUT OF MISUNDERSTANDING AND THUS IT ALWAYS ENDS LIKEWISE.

Darkness was everywhere. Soft and soothing silence was its companion and as I sat there up on the tower roof with only the stars and the moon as my companions. I sat there alone and in the shadows in which I was taking solace and I could see clearly things that where never there when the rays of Apollo's sun was present. How the lake looked with its gray blue waters illuminated by the moon and the stars .How trees glimmered and cast shadows and how eerie and soothing sounds were ever present during Selinas reign. How I took comfort in the blanket that is called night and how I hated it for giving me dreams. I may be to other people called a coward, and yes at some point in time I have admitted it to myself. But my fears are not from simple things, no my fears come from the sins that I have committed and from the future that I know. Hurt, suffering, and death were always my companion during the waking hours of the day and emptiness and regret during the fading lights of night. I have taken this burden as my punishment and never once did I protest or cried out against the it, except now…………………………Except now………

"Liliandra" a voice called.

I looked up to see one being that I came to love. The person who made me feel that my life was something to live and look forward to and the only person that I could not love more than a brother and never a lover. Fates was cruel to the point of being sadistic.

"Why are you here again?" He said was sitting himself besides me.

"Nothing Draco, I just wanted to be alone and think." I said back.

"Is it him again?" he asked looking at me.

"NO, I said" although I knew that he would not believe me. "I was thinking about us"

"Yes us" he said nonchalantly. "I have known you for only a short time. But I feel that the Fates have something for us and I feel that it will be long hard and full of sorrow. But I will stay besides you, no matter what."

Ending his speech he took both my hands and placed it in his chest. I could feel his heart beating and looking at him I could feel the love and the understanding emanating from his whole being.

"Liliandra let me carry the burden you carry. Make me understanding" He said looking at me and never letting my gaze falter.

"Draco, what I have experienced will be with you forever if I give in to your whim. You will never feel the same and you will always carry it for the rest of your life." I could not take what was showing in his eyes so I lowered my head.

I felt a hand on my chin and suddenly I could feel his warm breath and smell his scent. He made me look up at him and he was now only a few inches from me.

"And So I take what you give me with my full being and I shall carry the burden for u as well." With that statement he claimed my lips as his and I claimed his as mine. Sealing his fate to mine and giving him a burden that would last him for all his mortal life. I could feel the power radiating from both of us and I could feel him starting to get cold and tears flowed freely from me. He was slipping away and I could feel it. I released him from our kiss, and he rested his head on my lap knowing the next outcome. His eyes looked hazy and he was fighting the urge to close them. I brushed a strand of hair from is face then mustering the courage I spoke.

"I am sorry Draco" I said through tear stained eyes.

He placed one of his hands on my cheeks and wiped the tears from my eyes then looking directly at me he said

"I am not sorry for what has happened I know you will still be here when I sleep" with his last words he closed his eyes and I felt his body going cold and rigid under the darkness of the night.

"Yes I will be here. I will always be here" I shall always be with you but my heart with him I said to myself while looking at the boy resting on my lap. I stayed with him under the darkness and shadows of the night with only the moon, the stars and the sounds of the evening as the witnesses to our act and to my betrayal.
