She was perfect but it was never meant to be. Like many things in life it was temporary. When it comes to the heart we often think we know what is best for us. So instead we hurt ourselves the very thing that was never meant for us, by doing that I almost lost everything. "Goodbye Mr. Cirillo." Those words set heart alight and melted into stomach. My name spewed from her lips slashed at my soul like eternal hellfire. After months of telling her that was how I wanted to be addressed that it now felt formal and cold. Instead of feeling elated all I felt was crippling agony. The defeat in her eyes when she looked up at me left me gasping for air.

''Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire, I hold with those who favor fire. But if I had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.'' -Robert Frost. -- ''It st-started with a-a burn; wi-with a fire that erupted m-me to life,'' I answered as I stared at my trembling hands. His eyes that resembled orbs of liquid gold, bore into me as he asked the next question, ''And how will it end?'' ''I-I...I don't know,'' I stammered as tears blossomed from my tear glands, ''H-how am I su-supposed to decide th-that?! I can't do it!'' I had never felt so helpless before. ''I have lived for a thousands of years, my dear, and never have I heard such a poor lie,'' he commented as his lips twisted into a smirk, ''So, tell me, Delilah, what will you choose? The frost of fire, or the inferno of ice?'' -- My name is Delilah Storme. There was a time when I refused to believe in love and magic. There was a time when my largest concerns were: to get good grades and flee far away from my foul father; keep myself from breaking a promise I made to my mother, who slept six feet underground; try to forget the bitter aftertaste of a mistake woven into a boy, who hid his secrets behind a philanderous lifestyle. But then I met him. A man who I had thought merely existed in the pages of stories written millenniums ago, and the fibers of mythology. A man, who seemed to have subconsciously sworn to change my beliefs regarding love, and magic. A man like no other. And then, nothing was the same. Note: There are going to be some spelling errors and grammatical errors in this book, due to my lack of time to edit the chapters once I'm done with them. However, I can promise you that the errors aren't bad enough to have you turn away from this story, and that it's worth the read (hopefully :) ). Please do read on, and I hope you enjoy the story :D
