Blood Feud: Heart of Flames
Pain! Pain! Excruciating pain! And the agony of betrayal! That's all she felt, that's all she could think of. Her once beautiful and soulful eyes now dead, replaced with tears of blood. Her heart-once warm and beating-cut open, now turned to stone. Her mind, body, and soul had died in the fire which consumed and reshaped her. Her heart bled, her eyes bled, her mouth bled-they all bled blood. Her heart, once betrayed by love, closed off to love with only one feeling keeping it alive: hatred-extreme hatred. Never to love again. Betrayed, stabbed, injured, torn apart-she experienced it all. But... now given a second chance to change everything, she swore to make those who caused her to lose everything burn down with her in her heart of flames. And then he said to her, "You want to burn them all? I'll be the spark to your flames. We will burn them all together in your heart of flames."
