The world had once been part of a universe in itself. An atmosphere of infatuation and an aura of bliss. Families accompanied one another with love, couples travelled together and discovered what was yet to be discovered. Youngsters simply played, in the midst of all the events, oblivious to anything, alert to everything.
However, what was seen as happiness was much distant to those who currently lurk in the shadows. As far away as they seem, they are always around, watching, preying, arising from their shells. As the humans dwindle into their slumber, the demons arise eminently, a glorious fire to their eyes, a wicked sense to their movement. They hunt for the weak, as they watch those who sleep. My friend, those shadows you think you see in the corner of your room, they're all real. For they are spirits.
Spirits of fire. Spirits of the most afflicting pain. They act as poison, a searing, sizzling venom that burns all affection within, until doleful hatred lingers in the nothing that was once a beating heart.
But, these creatures must belong to someone. Who is it they worship night and day, fulfilling all desires, needs and commands?
The Devil. And the Tainted Angel, who stands by his side
However, unlike these spirits, the Devil does not linger in the shadows. He does not seek multiple humans. For he only desires one.
Scarlett Ambrose.
This, my friend, is when a young girl's life becomes demolished completely, by the two malicious creatures, The Devil and the beautifully darkened angel.
And as bad as you think it is, it is probably worse. Because this is Corruption.
"Do you feel safe with him?" the question seemed silly; in my head I had immediately laughed at it because it was so absurd. How could I not feel safe with Niall? He had turned out to be the only constant in my crazy life so far; he was always there for me through out everything. He did everything that he possibly could to help me to get to the point that I was at then.
Instead of going on a rant about how much I did, in fact, feel safe with Niall, I nodded and said, "I always feel safe with him."

Navaeh is not your average teenager. Sure, she's a few months away from being eighteen, and is having trouble getting a better grade then a C in Biology, but her troubles don't end there.
Niall is one fifth of the popular boy-band One Direction, and seems to be living the dream. A chance meeting brings the two together in a circumstance that leaves Niall afraid for Navaeh's safety. She harbors secrets about herself that only her and one other person know and when Niall becomes determined to break down her walls, things get complicated. A relationship is hard enough to keep as it is but when you add an unmistakably cruel family problem it gets harder.
