PROLOGUE
There is a world called planet Earth. Trillions of people who live on this planet are individually unique. Some are barely making ends meet, some are just trying to survive, and some are living luxuriously. There are a lot of happenings on this planet, and it is the busiest, most crowded, the most emotional of all the other neighboring worlds, most of all, the most mysterious. Because of this, danger, sinister, and evil are also lurking on this planet, waiting, exploring, evolving, and eventually destroying and conquering the world. Well, that is how they would want it.
Not that I am intentionally categorizing humans on this planet. I am Celeste Akira, twenty years old, who lives in Seattle; although I am barely there, I would still call it home. I am like other people on this planet who would fall under average. I got lucky, I guess. I am fortunate to live my dream career, which provides me with a roof over my head and three meals a day. However, I become lonely at night and sometimes feel empty, as if my life is not complete. Do you know that phrase "curiosity killed the cat"? This curiosity is why I am here, in this place, unknown to the world and the rest of civilization, my current society, that is.
"How in the world did you get yourself there?" One would ask, and I would answer, "because of my curiosity and hair." Yes, indeed, my hair.
When you experience the worst thing you could ever imagine, how do you react?

"The water looked so tempting under me as I stood there in the dark. The splashing sounds as the waves hit the stone calmed me down and I took a deep breath.
Yes. This was it.
I closed my eyes and took one step closer, feeling the curb under the soles of my shoes when I stopped again. Then my heart started pounding when I heard the sound of an angry engine behind me, a screech and a crash.
I turned around, gasping, ready to pick my phone up from the ground to call for help- but what met me was a pair of soul-searching golden eyes. In all his twisted glory, he stood in front of me, his precious motorcycle's engine still going as it laid on the ground behind him. His hand reached out, as if asking me to wait, but neither of us said anything.
We just stood there."

Olivia was a happy, cheerful girl whose life turned upside down one evening, over a phone call. Her mind turned dark, her thoughts became intrusive, and she became... morose.
One night everything seemed to fall apart and she found herself at the river banks when an old friend found her and refused to let her go. That night kickstarted something in her that made her want to change... for him.
Helix was a misunderstood man surrounded by dark rumors. People feared him. Everyone stayed away from him.. Except Olivia.
Olivia's life is in danger; can she fight her way out of the black hole before it's too late?
