His hands and ankles were hancuffed. Sitting cross-legged on the queen bed, was her. She lifted her eyes slowly, staring at Aden with a strangely distrustful expression. She sighed heavily, wiping at her eyes. Aden stared back at her, glowering. "This is kidnap." He spat. "What's your real name?" "Rebecca Chance." "What's your name?" He asked again. She turned to him with a wry grin. "Chloe Lew." Aden grit his teeth. "Do you have parents?" "No. They both died on my tenth birthday, as I blew out my candles, they both choked to death. I remember the look on their faces~ may they both rest in peace, Amen." "Tell me the fucking truth!" "Fine, fine, I was deserted in the middle of an amusement park~" "The truth!!" "Look Aden," She laughed. "I'm just trying to get you something for your hungry soul! Why don't you just believe one, I'll play along, and you'll never know the difference!" "Oh I'm sorry--was I supposed to muster up a whole fake life as well!?" "Just fucking decide what you want from me already Aden, won't you?" She groaned, rolling her eyes. Aden tensed in anger. He stepped before her, pushing her onto the bed. "Anything?" He asked. She slightly frowned, turning away. "Anything that'll shut you up." "Here's what I want--be my girlfriend for three years." Her round brown-orange eyes searched his. They stared and stared, as blank and pale as a sheet of paper. "Why the hell do you want me around for three years!?" "Two years is what I want, the third was just a buffer in case I couldn't get enough of you in two." "'Get enough of me'!?" She screamed in terror. "Just fuck me now!" "No. Two years." She threw a nasty glance up at him. "A year, ever since October 27, at about six p.m. Now get the hell out of my house." She spat. "You'll see Aden, I'll make you break up with me before a month passes." "Yeah, yeah~" Aden grinned. The Agreement was set.

"Please help me." At the echo of her words, the portal shot open. Cyan felt the cold shock hit her wet face and blow her hair to the wall behind her, inching back as a strong stormy wind blew from the strange portal. She could feel rain droplets hit her face, and tiny, amazingly saturated green leaves shot through the water and into her room. Then something poked through the center. She jumped back, pinning herself to the wall behind her bed, and stared, dumbfounded at the hand, obviously a man's hand. The hands cupped her cheeks, stopping as they brushed by Cyan's tears. Cyan blushed, and tried to pull away. They gripped her face, and Cyan froze as they wiped away the wet trails. Flustered at all the attention, even if it was just a dream, she cried harder. The hands had stopped. Suddenly, the left hand gripped hers, squeezing so hard Cyan flinched. Both grasped, Cyan being jerked to the portal. She twisted around frantically, clutching her bed as the arms released her arm and grasped her legs. She whimpered in fear as her legs were pulled through the portal. And with one more tug, Cyan's hands slipped and she was dragged away into what she would find was: Avalon. * She cried and cried, smacking her hand against her burning forehead, causing the heat to grow hotter. Cyan grew angry at the thoughts that crossed her mind for she knew they spouted lies. Poor thing, thought Zethan, watching her cry. It gave him glee. "Have you had enough, black rabbit?" He sneered. "Poor black rabbit...." He chuckled. "...she's blocked from remembering what would destroy her. Not even I could save you after that." He smiled. "Yes, poor black rabbit. If you can't handle this, I suppose I'll have to drag you through the rest. Because there is no way, no goddamn way that I'll rest until you've seen every terror, curse, and tragedy you've inflicted upon this beautiful world I call home."

"Things hadn't always been this way. Humans had once been living in astounding numbers. They used to rule the world. That is, until demons rose up." Mina knows very well her place. The strange child, the outcast, the feared... The one who was supposed to have died. And Fate isn't very happy about her living. As the little glitch grows, she learns that there is a War of Blood being fought. The Humans, who rule The Three Kingdoms and abuse of those with Demon blood, are threatening to conquer the last of the Demon lands. Then there is the opposite kingdom of Demons, who will stop at nothing to regain power and murder humanity. Mina grows as a girl who is a human, and a demon, while at the same time neither. And now that she is forcing Fate down another road, there will be those who protect her, those who threaten her, those who loathe her, and those who love her. She must fight her own hatred for herself to be able to decide... ...just who's side she's on.
