This was written for Mystii's Freeverse competition. It's my very first attempt to freeverse and my very first attempt to all ThOSe bizZarE lay-outs.

My prompt was "Lighthouse" with Fred and Katie as characters. Enjoy and Review :) Please read with the 1/2 or 3/4 format.

It's only now that she realises he was her light,
