There is no one in the world who could possibly love me, I know it. I've pretty much resigned to crying under my covers at night as my boyfriend who I adore links hands with my bullies at school and beats me down. Pretty cliche. I think. Sometimes, I lie awake at night, just wishing, begging, praying for an angel to fall in my lap and wave their magic wand, take the pain away. Maybe kill me silently in my sleep, take me to a better place... One where I am not alone, suffering, always suffering, and eternally rejected by the world. Still, the angels never respond, never reply, never come to my aid.. Will a DEVIL do? [A/N] Don't read this if you're sensitive to abusive scenes as there is physical and emotional abuse in this story... but have no fear, there are one or two other stories on this site you could read instead. ヽ(〃＾▽＾〃)ﾉ

[COMPLETE] I looked at my mom's blue eyes. They held love. Her kind of love. Empty yet full of all her emotions at the same time. It was hard to explain. While her face remained calm, her eyes screamed of fear, joy, anger, love, sadness, pleasure and hatred. She didn't flinch. The traces of emotion rested within her blue irises and her black pupils. Those were the parts that held her screaming soul. Her raging spirit. Her crying mind. A child who had to grow into a woman she did not want to be. She raised the gun toward me. Warning. This story contains: - Abuse - Drug abuse - Violence - Kidnapping - Rape - Explicit descriptions

There is talk of abuse, self-harm, and rape. Mostly all in first half of story, hopefully updated version with those warnings will be up soon. Thank you all

*This story has some dark themes and may cause triggers. Viewer's discretion is advised* Seventeen-year-old Adrien Horn is a Junior in high school. He loves to study mythical creatures and acts like any normal kid would. There's just one little problem: for three years he's been keeping quiet about a sin his father's been committing. Without saying a word about it, Adrien has managed to keep his sanity in tack with an outer shell he's created to prevent others from seeing what he's hiding inside. But when bullies at school find marks on his back, Adrien's outer shell shatters and sends the boy into a chaotic frenzy of his true self: a boy with a dark mind who lacks feelings for love, is haunted by everything his father has done, and seems to be broken beyond repair. He is even driven to commit murder, several murders. No one thinks he can be helped, except for one man. . . . Sebastian Belmont is a French billionaire with a mysterious past. He is searching for 'The Child'; a boy who's only purpose is to die upon an altar, before a few sworn enemies find him first. But Sebastian doesn't have many years to live and time is running out. Days before a business acquaintance of his is attacked, Sebastian encounters Adrien a few times and notices the sudden change in his attitude. Mr. Belmont knows that there's something wrong and plans to get to the heart of it, but choices have consequences and picking between finding 'The Child' or helping Adrien will surely stir up a few sour patches along the way. Things may get chaotic, but no one said it would be easy.
