"Then how should I know that you will do it right?" she asks, raising her eyebrows and then cringing in pain. I pause. She's right. All we do is fight. Why should she trust me? Especially for something like this. Still, I can't leave her here, cringing in pain and trying to sew her skin together. "You'll just have to trust me on this one, princess," I say at last. ---------- In a world not their own, two souls take comfort in each other. When the rain comes on earth, it storms. But when it storms, they take comfort in each other.

No emotions. No fears. Fulfill the mission. That is the code Annabelle lives by. She has no life, no friends, no family. What she does have is the ability to defuse a bomb in under a minute, to hit a target moving over 100 miles per hour, to take out her opponent using martial arts skills. She is a weapon of mass destruction and she is about embark on her most dangerous mission yet. The NPA tasked her with protecting the son of the French Prime minister, a carefree boy whose only wish is to become a spy. She soon finds out however that this mission holds more secrets than she cared to know, secrets that will change her life forever.

A cold stone settled on her already dying heart. She was going to die here and no one would save her, no one would come offering freedom, just as Chaol and Dorian had, no one would tell her to shut up when she made one of her witty comments, just like Aedion and Rowan had. She was going to die and then be damned to a pit of hell for the rest of eternity.
