Just have each other’s best interest at heart. That, in itself, makes for a very good start.

She walked into your life like a hurricane, beautiful and destructive and gone before you even had enough time to say her name.

Character idea? I don’t know.

I hung onto the ghost of you the way a cat would hang onto a long dead mouse, not willing to drop it or acknowledge it’s death.

I don’t even know. Use it!

“Do I frighten you?” She sounded interested, more than anything, and not entirely like she meant it as a question as the protagonist’s heart rabbited under her hand. “I never used to frighten people. I was too pretty. Even when pretty is threatening, it’s never quite frightening, is it? People know that pretty doesn’t last. They know what to do with it.” 

“I think you’re frightened that I pity you.” 

“Oh pretty thing,” she smiled. “You’re not soft enough for that.”

character inspirations | the villain

She had always found villains more exciting than heroes. They had ambition, passion. They made the stories happen. Villains didn’t fear death. No, they wrapped themselves in death like suits of armor! As she inhaled the school’s graveyard smell, Agatha felt her blood rush. For like all villains, death didn’t scare her. It made her feel alive.

She was a siren song of a woman, beautiful and cold and trapping you before you even noticed.

Sirens.

You made me so hungry that I ate all that I was given, and in my sorry case it happened to be lies.

Story inspiration! Use it in whichever way you like.

“You have no idea what I’ve done for you!”

“Because you never tell me!” They had to laugh, mirthless. “You downplay everything, constantly. You literally go out of your way to make sure everyone thinks you’re fine. Don’t keep secrets if you’re going to get pissed off that nobody knows them.”

She always said that Hope was rather a nice colour on her, but I had always found that darkness suited her just as well.

Ooh, guess who isn’t studying. Anyways, quote inspiration! Feel free to use however you’d like. (Of course, please source or tag me if you do.)

Chaos may have killed the dinosaurs, darling; but it was you and your goddamn normalcy that killed me.

Excerpt from a book I shall never ever write. First-person has always given that extra PUNCH in my opinion. Use it!
