A beautifully broken girl who is tired of hurting. Gray has been on the run for years and has suffered abuse at the hands of a monster, her father. She is ready to accept her fate and let Death end her life. Death fights his inner demons and offers Gray a life she never thought she could have. But everything is not rainbows and butterflies. Death is a man who buried his past along with his emotions. His black eyes are soulless. "Death?" "Yes Ms. Perrin, it is me." "You're so handsome..." "Evil can hide behind any pretty face. The mask of Death is his greatest deception." "I know of monsters...Death. I know a monster who wears a mask..." "Would you take the monster's place Ms. Perrin and give your life so this monster could live?" "I hide behind a fake name and a painful smile...I am already dead. But killing me wont stop him."

Axa Ladion has been hunted viciously by the world's most powerful elemental user for as long he remembers. Years of running from everyone he knows, or used to know. Destruction of buildings, deaths, and darkness forced onto him the title of world's most hated serial killer ever. Salera Duevel has been chasing the villain of her life for seven years, as long as she can remember. It starts when she watches her best friend murder her sister, her only living family member left in a explosion of fiery bricks and sparking electricity. From then on, she vows to make him pay with his life, letting the want, the need of revenge take over her life. Their lives intertwine in ways they couldn't rip apart if they wanted to, spiraling from that one day, that one time. And neither of them really know what happened, what they're doing, or what's going to happen. Distinctive lines blur in thoughts, memories fading and glitching. One thing's for sure, though. Salera is the good guy, the hero, and the savior. And Axa is the bad guy, the villain, and the condemned evil. Or not.
