The night was cold, a storm was rolling in, the stereotypical setting for your average horror movie. Bri was 14, the boy she was "in love" with was moving away for what she thought was forever. Tying the belt to the closet door she slid her head into the slipknot she made, tears streaming down her face. This was the night the stupidest decision she had ever made, would be the beginning of something the universe was putting together to end something catastrophic.

Flash back a few billion years. Without life, Death could not be, this was the fact that basically created everything. While no one knows where these being came from, as energy can not be created nor destroyed, all we know is they were created somehow. These beings were referred to us as the Life gods, who, while all equal in energy and power, had weak mindsets when it came to who was in the lead. They all answered to one who the humans would later refer to as God. God wanted all the control so he began, one by one, destroying them. little did he know energy could not be destroyed therefore their energy was dispersed among the universes to create other gods, stars, galaxies, and other beautiful things. However he left three, two of whom he tried combining to create one being. This resulted in making two, one of immense power, and one of lesser power. The stronger of the two was Death, the weaker was named Blake. The remaining Life god transformed into a goddess of darkness, thus creating a balance. God locked her away so she could not destroy the things he wanted to create, but that's a story for later. Death was given the ability to create things for a short amount of time. As God created the Arch Angels, Death created Death Angels. As God created angels, Death created reapers. Eventually humans and animals were developed, after Adam and Eve God allowed Death to begin reaping souls. Death created a ring of beings that held every record of every soul collected, these beings were responsible for keeping the system in order, like a judicial system they enforces rules if a reaper ever went rouge. They were called the Council. Then Lucifer was cast down and Hell was created. Death began sorting the souls where they needed to go and, long story short, the angels became jealous of Death's perfect system, so they raged a war. Blake was appointed queen and she led her troops with the Death Angels behind her. However, sadly the war was lost. All Death Angels, and most reapers were killed, their souls shattered and sent to earth, making their way into humans and creating amazing people who could see and talk to the lost souls wandering the earth now that there weren't enough reapers to reap everyone. Death created stronger reapers, ones who could only be killed by their own scythes, like him. They rebuilt, made everything stronger.

Skip to about the time America was founded. Still in the death realm, the kingdom was flourishing. The queen set out to find a reaper who could help create the "Protector". Blake possessed a gene for a power that would allow a being to take control of another's soul, no matter how strong. She was married to Grim, however their child did not posses this power, she was named Rose. Later Blake met Lucian, whom she had an affair with and later had another girl. This girl possessed the power, thus earning the name Protection. That's me. However a simple translation mistake on my part earned my lovely name Blue and that's what I go by.

Over the next 155 years we had alright lives, for the most part. Grim was always an abusive asshole to my mother and I. When I was around 145 my sister took me to a party and I was drugged and raped. A few months later I had Bladella but Grim made a deal with an Arch angel and had my baby killed after I was told to steal a tablet from heaven. That was one of the worst days of my life, but shit didn't hit the fan until my 155th birthday. Now, Reapers don't age like humans, so this was basically my 11th birthday as that's how old I looked. Grim found out about the affair and a fight ensued. It wasn't until later at my birthday ball I knew something was wrong. My mother disappeared, but Grim told me she was called to the council for a case revision. I later found out she was taken to the dungeon by Grim and chained up. Three days later when I found her, she pled for me to run but it was too late. He had access to her scythe because of their marriage vows and he killed her slowly, forcing me to watch. I refused to give him access to my scythe so I was tied up and raped every day for weeks. Rose fed me poison to please him, she always hated me. On the down time when I was left alone I could practice what I called soul bending, however the real name for it is the protectors power or soul strings. Eventually I was able to kill him and my sister, however when I reported to my uncle and told him what happened, I was forced to face the Council. My uncle begged them to not banish me but I killed the last of the royal family, and there was no evidence I hadn't killed my mother as well. My soul was banished to wander the different realities.

For three years I spent as a soul in a reality where I met Kadel and Jensen Woods. I fell in love with Kadel however Jensen hated me. After three years of being with the love of my life Jensen tried to kill me, however Kadel jumped in the way and died in my arms. As he took his last breath I promised I would never love anyone like I loved him. Soon after I heard this strange bell sound, a soul calling out in pain. Here I found Bri, our soul waves matched well enough to fuse and I entered her body. Little did I know, the insanity I built up over the past three years wouldn't mix with hers well.
