So with all that hatred and anger, she became who she had always wanted to be but why does she feel like it isn't enough? 
Why does there still seem to be this emptiness in her heart? 

In the course of Maya's journey, will she lose sight of what is important or will she find her true self.

With the appearance of a angel in her life, a young teenager named Skylar soon learns that all those tales from the bible could save her life from its knowledge of the otherworlds.

Before she can object, I carry on. 'Maya you are beautiful beyond perfection. You are strong. You are brave. You are funny. You are sweet. You are incredible. Look at yourself,' I nod down towards the scars on her arm and she slowly glances down at them before meeting my gaze again, 'those scars are beautiful. Do you know why?' I ask her. She wipes a tear from her already tear-stricken face before she shakes her head. 'Because every time you decided to do that to yourself, you didn't go further, you didn't end your life. You decided to carry on living even when you thought you couldn't manage it. Those scars right there,' I gesture to them again, 'show the battles you won against yourself. They are your battle-scars and you shouldn't be ashamed of them. And you know what? I am so proud of you for making it to where you are today because you are a fighter and If I can see that, anyone can.'
