Doomed Lovers Quotes

“O, there is a fox,
He sits upon the dune,
Sits upon the dune,
Soaking in the sun.

No, not soaking in the sun—
He's waiting for the horseback girl
To ride past.

Once there was a fox,
He waited for a girl,
But the girl, she never returned.”
― Fei Wo Si Cun, Goodbye, My Princess

“She hadn’t told Collin the real reason she hadn’t been sleeping well. Too frequently she dreamed that Stanton had entered her room and knelt beside her bed, caressing her arm, kissing her cheek, and sometimes speaking to her about their future together.
Afterward, she always awoke, her heart aching, and it was difficult to go back to sleep. His dreamworld visits felt too real. She had set a line of alarm clocks on her dresser as a precaution. Followers hated timepieces, anything that reminded them of their eternal bond to evil. A clock couldn’t stop Stanton the way a crucifix stopped a vampire, but if he did come into her room, she was certain he would turn the clocks to face the wall. Recently they hadn’t been disturbed, and that was the only way she knew that his visits were only dreams.”

“Serena stood in the cold, spellbound, unable to stop remembering the good times with Stanton. She had a strong memory of the sensual way he had seeped into her mind and brought her back into his, their thoughts melding. She had seen and felt his struggle, known the sweet pain that came over him with the uncontrollable urge to turn someone to the Atrox. He had tried to hide the dark impulse from her, but in the end he had been unable to conceal what he really was, a creature of night and shadow. She had loved him anyway. She hadn’t cared what his past had been; she had only been interested in the way he had been with her, his kind and gentle devotion.”

“Serena gazed into his eyes and steadied her voice. "Next time we meet as enemies."
He stared at her, eyes desperately sad. "The only person I love is now my enemy.”
