AN: A dribble
The Throne Of Pink Oleander
A One Shot
I think it was because she was beautiful that they called her that
Not the beauty that one finds on the cover of a glamour magazine
Or in the well-coiffed model
No
It was that beauty that is found in the grace,
The slink that one acquires when they become a thief
Her beauty was in the fact that a creature whom one would normally gaze upon for hours
Was able to make her self overlookable, unnoticeable
And everywhere she pulled a heist
She would leave a single, perfect light pink oleander blossom
Even though they only bloomed during the summer
She would leave that one reminent of the beauty with which she had pulled off her latest job
Leaving behind a knowledge that someone deadly and beautiful had once stood on the same spot that blossom lay
There is beauty within death,
And in her case death within beauty
Now that I had caught her, after having chased her trail for so long
I felt a chapter of my life close
She walked up that hall with the air of a Queen
And the electric chair…
Was her throne
