“Killing rips the soul apart.” - to Scarlett O'Hara!
sentence meme: harry potter ( book ) edition
❛ killing – what?!❜ for one BRIEF, fleeting moment, scarlett’s heart raced. she could feel a sickening pulse on her tongue, as the taste of bile trickled it’s way up her throat and into her mouth. NO. there’s no way this woman standing before her could possibly know about the yankee soldier. it was an act of self-defense - something she did to save not only herself, but her FAMILY. the lives of t e n others were on her hands, and she was not about to let one nasty man put their lives in jepordy.
but there was no POSSIBLE way marjorie could know. she wasn’t there. the only other person who knew about it was melanie, and melanie had stayed just as SILENT. as quickly as it had come on, scarlett’s sick feeling had left her, and in return came a slight feeling of anger, followed by swift annoyance. it was a look that graced scarlett’s face often - in fact, it was a surprise that HARD lines weren’t set deep within her face to show for it - a deep, hard look that showed deep disapproval and anger.
❛ miss finn, honestly, you don’t expect me to believe this beliggerence coming from your mouth, do you? i hardly see how you would be knowledged where the soul is concerned.❜ as if automatically, scarlett’s hands CURLED into a ball - deeply wishing they had her old rosary beeds to clutch. many times, scarlett had secretly prayed - wished, even, - that her act of killing would not leave her with bad karma or bad faith. but more often than not, scarlett pushed the thought so FAR into the back recesses of her mind that it was all but FORGOTTEN.
there was NOTHING to be done about it now.
there was no reason for it to concern her now.
so why should she BURDEN herself with the thoughts.
❛ and i, for one, do not believe that statement at all. and i wish to no longer be burdened on the subject, as it has no concern to me.❜
