Two days had passed since your 19th birthday, which was a huge celebration amongst your friends, family, and hometown. Everything seemed to be falling perfectly into place, your childhood crush began to finally show interest, your father and mother had planned to pass down the family orientated business in your name, and it was the first few days of snowfall. Though, everything would soon come to a crashing end as all of those blissful memories and plans for the future would shatter into pieces. Those few nights later, a group of murderous demons attacked your home village, destroying and killing practically anything in sight. One of your close friends managed to wake you up before it was to late and the both of you escaped into the forest. Though, two demons had caught on and chased the wavering scent within the trees. A collide occurs, and only one makes it out alive. It was you, running farther and as fast as you can into the trees as tears were flooding from your eyes. The duo of fiends still hot on your trail, until you had eventually tripped on a root and fallen into a steep, rocky ditch. Cutting your leg deeply and hurting your ribs badly. Trembling, you awaited the worst, to be eaten alive by the fiends. Though, as your fingers clawed into the dirt, you heard screams and a loud commotion. And then what was seen as a large uproar of flames above the ditch. Your vision was beginning to blur as someone had wrapped their arms around you, picking you up, off the sharp rocks and soil. To which everything around you suddenly went black, passing out due to blood loss and trauma to the head.
Once finally awakening a little over a week later, you are dressed in a fresh clean, lavender gown. Tucked comfortably in a weighted futon that laid in the middle of a bedroom within a shrine-like home. Where am I? Who brought me here? Though, you would find out soon enough.
From unexpected spark to passionate flame, Veronica and Caleb's love story has seemed like a dream come true. But when Veronica's old fears and Caleb's past start to fracture their relationship, will they be able to fight for what truly matters?
