"Bird and I really were a close binary system. He's a part of me. And Bird flew away." 
- Jewel, 'Bird' by Crystal Chan

"Isn't it funny? I'm named the Cuckoo, but I'm caged inside." 

She fiddled with his keyboard. The letter 'J' popped up, forming an orderly line of his name, but he remained silent. "I'm his little decoration in his great big machine."

***********

Cuckoo was a fantasy. Out of reach, free from grasp and an alluring mystery. 

However, in truth, rather than a fantasy, she endured more authenticity; rather than free, she was imprisoned and restrained; rather than a mystery, she was hidden from prying eyes. 

She couldn't continue to live like that. 

And so she decided she wouldn't.All Rights Reserved

Without You by NxnsxgnorsDxmon

"R-Rare bird?" Dew of bittersweet, desperate moistness immersed his fragile eyelids as tears verged to spring up like toy-out-of-the-box into his eyes, tinting ruddily its lily-white eyeballs. "P-Please don't leave me!" His heart ached over her absence by being relentlessly cracked on thousands of pieces with the hammer of justice, scattered on the vacuum floor as he felt his knees weak, kneeling on the ground. In the meanwhile, a crystal, salty tear dripped as a bleeding scar from his eye, sniffling quietly to himself. "Without you, I'm nothing even if I'm the Pope in Rome or the Cardinal in New York!" Tearful, balefully rueful mutter jingled into his ears, shutting his eyes without blinking for a single second, allowing the heavy rain of tears to gush down, staining his face with dampness. Jude and Timothy are having a coq-au-vin dinner, where it's becoming a battlefield not only of disagreements and slurps, but also of compliments and kind words which the nun has never heard about self especially coming from a man. One in a million and the only man, who's the courage to expose her true face into his eyes. But on the morning after the sudden disappearance of the nun shocks him. What Jude leaves behind her disappearance? Will they reunite somehow or on the contrary never see each other ever again? Is the love through the years more powerful than anything? {Short Nunsignor Book}

Evil by Euphonics

I go by Artemis Blythe. I'm an ex-soldier turned murderer. I was charged with thirty murders and was subsequently sentenced to death. Preceding my execution, in a twist of fate, I was reborn in a child's body in a dog eat dog world ruled by two factions: Righteous and Demonic. I had two abilities in my arsenal: One let me cheat death, the other strengthened me the more I killed. I had two goals: One was to destroy the Righteous faction in its entirety, the second was to enjoy the hunt. I was named after the Goddess of the Hunt after all. Now that I was in a world where murder was validated and not outlawed, it would surely be nothing less than good time. No kindness. No selflessness. No altruism. Just acting on self-interest. There wasn't a single good bone in my body. Only pure, condensed, unadulterated evil.

Trapped, she was forced into waiting out her time thinking of the world, her mom, and her life. She had to do something hard, she had to make a choice. She could stay and be hurt and trapped, but fed and warm, or leave and be cold and hungry, but free...
