When a mage has to do what a mage has to do ...

Something has changed within me, something is not the same
I’m through with playing by the rules of someone else’s game
Too late for second-guessing, too late to go back to sleep
Its time to trust my instincts, close my eyes and leap!

Judas inspected her arms in the shower. The cuts had pretty much faded; no longer reminding her on a daily basis of how stupid she’d been.

The radio DJ announced a new song and she sang along; not quite hitting the high notes as she rinsed her hair.

It’s time to try defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye I'm defying gravity
And you won't bring me down

She looked at herself in the mirror as she looped a silver chain around her neck and closed the padlock that acted as both pendant and clasp. She sighed and added a second; a small green stone carved in a spiral. She smiled at the reflection and nodded with determination.

I'm through accepting limits cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change but til I try I'll never know
Too long I've been afraid of losing love I guess I've lost
Well if that's love, it comes at much too high a cost

Scooby grinned as she fussed over Robin, making sure he had enough nappies for the duration. She adjusted the Disney watch pinned to his dungarees and smiled as Scooby shooed her towards the train. She hung out of the window waving and then sat down to watch the scenery flash by.

I'd sooner buy defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
And you won't bring me down

The train came into the station a little later than advertised; but still giving her enough time to get to his flat before he got home. She arrived at his front door; pulled a book out of her bag and settled down to wait.

I'd sooner buy defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
And you won't bring me down
Bring me down

Free, finally, of the need. Left with the desire, but different now. Softer. I like it, even if I don't know how long I'll stay this way.

Quick kisses. Laughter. See, love is more than addiction. Fuck you, cynics.

Then the moment we've all been waiting for. Fangs in, toe-curling pleasure. Speechless from it all. Missed this the most. Thought flies from me.

...And is back again suddenly. What? My thoughts are slow, sluggish, as if I'm waking from a dream. Can't get my arm to move. Why is he shouting? How ridiculous. Why would I be dying? I've just been improved. What- Don't hurt yourself for this. Oh no. No you don't. Don't you dare.

Too late. I'm dead.
