There was a curse. There was a girl. And in the end, there was a grave. I never even saw it coming.
Kami Garcia
Image
we love what we love and who we love who we love and why we love why we love and find a falling shoelace knotted and strung between the fingers of strangers

I'd never really thought past the whole dying-for-the-sake-of-the-world part of things. When you're alive, you don't dwell on how you're going to spend your time once you're dead. You just figure you're gone, and the rest will pretty much take care of itself.

My life had taken a stranger turn than I could've ever imagined. What was I doing on this path? Where was I headed really? Who was I to take on a battle between powers I didn't understand— armed with a runaway cat, a uniquely bad drummer, a pair of garden shears, and an Ovaltine-drinking teen Galileo? To save a girl who didn't want to be saved?

Sharpie? A mischievous smile spread across her face. I thought you said you couldn't control your powers. Beginner's luck.

Well? Is it true? Did she? Did she what? You know. Fall outta the crazy tree and hit every branch on the way down?

It's hard to imagine a place like that really exists. People have been judging me my whole life.

I loved her, atom by atom, one burning cell at a time.

She was my destination. I was always on the way to Lena, even when I wasn't. Even when she wasn't on her way to me.

I had never been this mad at her before. It was one thing to be attacked by someone you hated, but this was something else. This was the kind of hurt that could only be inflicted by someone you loved, who you thought loved you. It was sort of like being stabbed from the inside out.

Mortals. I envy you. You think you can change things. Stop the universe. Undo what was done long before you came along. You are such beautiful creatures.

We are given to the great, for great purpose, to great ends. We are given to the grave, for grave purposes, to grave ends.
