"I can't do it Mom. I can't let them change me into something I'm not. Please forgive me, but I can't go with you. I'm going to join the rebellion. I want you to go on without me. You'll be safe there." With a sad look in her eyes, my mom nodded once and said: "I know dear. I love you. Go now before it's too late." I turned to leave out our front door, when Mom's last words rang clear in my head. "Look for your father out there sweetheart." "You mean... He's out there... In the rebellion?" "Yes dear. That was one of the reasons he left so long ago. Find him, and please just stay safe dear." I ran up to her and hugged her. "I love you, Mom." "I love you too, Ebony." After that, I simply walked out the front door. We both had tears trickling down our cheeks, and we knew that we would probably never see each other again. But I had hope, hope in finding my father, after all these long years apart.
Ebony Hayes was always considered a freak. She wore black clothing, has lip piercings, and listened to My Chemical Romance. That all changed after the Helium Wars. On a search for a long lost father and freedom from BLI/nd, Ebony takes up her raygun and the name Blind Reaper. She and her friends Static Monster, Insanity Flame, and Atomic Devil will fight for their lives, lose hope, and find exactly what they needed in a place where the next day isn't certain. And along the way, they might just take down BLI/nd. It's all in a days work for these Killjoys.
*His eyes were the first thing I noticed as he looked up at me. Such a dark blue they reminded me of sapphires. My heart jumped at the feel of them as he held my gaze. I was in a trance unable to look away and it was as if he could see into the very soul that gave my body life. My skin crawled with goosebumps as his eyes changed from curious to predatory in a matter of moments. A shudder passing through me as my heart beat faster. He could see me. Like really see me and I cringed at the gut wrenching fear that ran through me, watching as his tongue ran smoothly over his lips. He looked like a predator about to hunt his prey. Me being that prey. His grin was intimidating as he spoke to the boy next to him and began to come my way.*
