"For the whole night, I wouldn't protect you. If you're able to protect yourself from the numerous entities lurking in every corner of the town, ready to pounce on you any moment, I'll leave you alone. But, if you fail in doing so, you'll have to pay for it with your life," The serious air surrounding him abruptly disappeared as he gave me a big grin, showing me a set of perfectly aligned pearly white teeth, "Unless, of course, you ask for my help. Three helplines you have. If you ask me to help you for the third time," He paused for a mere moment, reducing the grin to a small tilted smirk as he stared at me with a set of glimmering amber eyes, "You'll be mine." With that, his body turned into a big cluster of several black butterflies, causing me to let out a loud scream from the sudden shock, "Run, darling. Run." He had disappeared from my sight yet his booming voice continued echoing around the deathly still surroundings, making my blood turn cold. ~I don't own the picture used in the cover.~

Fundamentals: individuals who can control one of the physical elements; fire, water, air, earth. Elementals: individuals who can control all four physical elements. They are unstable and at risk of becoming Voids. The risk grows as they age, needing a Null to stop that from occurring. Nulls: Spirt elementals; individuals who have no control over the physical elements. Can use the spirit element to temporarily stabilize Elementals at risk of imploding into Voids and can permanently stabilize and strengthen an Elemental when they form an Intrinsic Bond with one. * * * Rae is an orphan that has struggled to build a measly life for herself while hiding a secret, she hadn't manifested an affinity for any of the elements yet, nor has she received the mark that marked an individual with what she considered the worst fate possible, a Null. She's able to keep her lack of elemental control hidden at her job at a cornerstore where as a cashier who's barely able to make ends meet, she doesn't need to manipulate the elements. All she knew was that if word got out the Null Center would come for her. With fewer Nulls being manifesting and more Elementals imploding into Voids each year, they were desperate to find more Nulls. If they had even the slighted suspicion that she could be one, they would drag her off to the Center where she would be forced to interact with those she feared the most. Elementals. So she kept her secret hidden. After witnessing the death of her parent at the young age of nine due to an unstable Elemental imploding into a void, Rae feared Elementals. Just the thought of being near one made her hands tremble. She thought she had nothing to fear since Nulls presented by the age of 16, she definitely didn't expect the surprise that her 27th birthday brought. Nor did she expect the bully who loved to torment her at the orphanage they grew up in to make a reappearance in her life. Also on Inkitt
