SoulTaker

Azure had been living in the forest alone for a long time. Ever since her rare ability manifested, people had made sure to stay away from her. They feared her powers. They feared her. She was often depicted as a grim-reaper.

=============================================

Azure felt their spirits even before they entered the forest to release her wings. She could not read their minds but she always could feel the emotions that come with them.

She locked eyes with the leader, eyes glowing to an azure colour instead of its normal amethyst ones. She held her arms forward, extending them in the direction of the attackers.

The six assailants stopped dead in their tracks, pain masking their faces before they fell on their knees, all of them clutching their chest. Azure's family looked on, horrified.

Screams filled the air, this time, it's not Azure doing it, but she's causing it.

The bodies dropped on the forest floor at the same time that Azure dropped her hands on her side.

Azure gazed at her family who was cowering with fear, her father had taken out his sword from its sheath as he protected the rest of his family behind him.

"Get away from us!" her father boomed at her, backing away further.

"It's still me, Azure, your daughter!"

"You're no daughter of us. You are a monster!" her mother exclaimed, finger pointed at her.

"A monster, you took their souls!" her younger brother echoed.

"Soultaker!"

*This is going to be the official Second installment of the Destiny Trilogy. (Heaven's Destiny will be revised once again with a new title.)
