Redemption

Those who understand me know I belong in the shadows. I never take a backward glance, and my heart is as cold as ice.

That's the way it was and I never questioned any of it...until she appeared.

Raven Hill shouldn't have come within a million miles of someone like me. Shitty fate! To send such a bright, beautiful flower into my bleak and barren landscape where nothing can ever grow.

She alone tempts me towards the light.

Her innocence makes me wonder about the man I am.

She's so damn beautiful she heats the blood in my veins. The temptation is pure torture. I give in and take her. Make her mine.

Unfortunately the rules of the games I play mean I cannot keep her...
