How do you tell the difference between adventurous and life-threatening if you are impervious to fear? You could ask Edana Keelia Greenwood, a 17 year old girl that most would refer to as ‘delinquent’, but considering the mess she got herself into, she obviously doesn’t even know herself. Her dad left when she was a child and Edana supports her mother, by way of numerous criminal activities, and she always has to keep her friends at arm’s length. They suspect Edana has a big secret, but no-one knows what it is. Enter Darren Silex, a man with secrets of his own. In a moment of rash intrigue, Edana reveals her secret. Her worst mistake ever, and unfortunately, only her first. Darren becomes paranoid: fearful that her secret will consequently reveal his. Plans of kidnap are born from his paranoia, but Edana is not the easiest girl to get to. Thankfully, for Darren at least, his stooge catches her at exactly the right moment. She’s bored, got nothing to do, all her friends are busy… Hey, why not allow yourself to be kidnapped? That was her second mistake. Thankfully, her kidnappers are completely unprepared for the whirlwind that is Edana. They reach a stalemate. Their secret must be protected, but they just don’t have the heart to hurt her, especially since most have somehow come to care for the crazy girl. They don’t know what to do with her, so they take her to the one man who does, Gabriel Potens. There, she discovers a prophecy - a prophecy that Gabriel is convinced is about her. He makes her an offer she can’t refuse, but accepting the offer was her third and final mistake. Gabriel begins to lead her down a path she'd rather avoid. Forcing her into a world she never knew existed and she isn't sure she'll escape alive. Good thing she's impervious to fear.

In the end, the journeys we take comprises of several things; a beginning, a middle, and an end. Sometimes we cannot even tell where one ends, and another begins... Kathryne Taylor is a senior in high school, just an ordinary girl who, in the eyes of her peers, is really quite the unfavorable character. But that's through no fault of her own. You see, Kathryne has issues; most of them stemming from her adamant desire to avoid what she believes is total bull. Adrian Black doesn't want to give two cents about what other people think, but he has to. After all, if he didn't, they might find out what he's hiding from everyone else, and that could be very bad for him indeed. It's not healthy to know a vampire after all. Even less so to be acquainted with a vampire noble, but they don't need to know that. What do these two have to do with each other? “Oi! Adrian, you done yet?” Kathryne yelled, banging her hand on the door. “You have muscles, don’t you?” ... “You stare at them all the time, don’t you?” I’d never understand why she was bothered when I caught her staring, but completely fine with me seeing her naked. Someone needed to get their priorities straight. When she didn’t reply to my comment, I gathered that she’d probably walked away from the door. So I flung the door open, not anticipating that she might still be standing there, fuming. The door rebounded back slamming shut with a loud thunk. Though the noise might have been more Kathryne falling to the ground than the door. “Kathryne, are you all right?!” Immediately rushing out of the toilet to make sure I hadn’t done any serious damage. “Dumbass!” She snarled, glaring at me. “Do I look O.K.?!” (Note: The Story is in Kathryne's Point of View at first)
