Prologue

On a foggy morning, it was approaching dawn. One lonely girl walks down an abandoned dirt road. Grey villages are shrouded in the mists and the sharp stones she trods on scratch her feet leaving trails of blood behind her.  She is on her way to make a deal with the devil.

Somewhere deep in the woods, a being was watching this miserable spectacle.  Wrapped in crimson robes, Fatina peered into the mists in front of her that formed a shiny screen. She watched the miserable girl stumble through the brambles and cross the bridge over the treacherous dark waters. Her face pale as the midwinter snow.

 "Ahh..." Fatina breathed out. "What a lovely little soul. How interesting." She watched as the rags draped flimsily across the girls thin shoulders flapped and billowed with the harsh wind. Fatina smiled cruelly, then, with a puff of cool dank air, she disappeared.

Fatina reappeared behind the girl just as she was about to reach the beginning of the forest. Here, the trees, the land, and the water formed a devil's triangle. Whatever happened would be bound by blood and sealed with a fragment of the soul.

  Fatina lightly blew on the girl's neck stirring the strands of hair gathered there. The girl shrieked and spun around quickly facing Fatina but then falling backwards onto the cold dirt. Fatina just waited and stood there floating in the air, her robes whipping about her.

"I believe you were seeking me young child?"

 The girl picked herself up and whispered "yy-y yes"

 Fatina groped into her mind and murmured, "So you want to be beautiful and admired." 

 "Yes" the girl said this time more sure of herself.

 "That can be arranged."

 Fatina was beside herself with delight. Dreaming of all the possibilities, all the potential entertainment she could have with this child.

She opened her mouth and said, "I will make you stunning, with the love and admiration of every man, child, and woman on this planet.  But the question is child, what will you give me?"

The girl stuttered and panicked, she hadn't thought that the enchantress would want something in return.

 So she said, "I have nothing to offer.  My parents are dead and my village was burned down.  I am alone in this world and only have the clothes on my body and my hatred for the rogues who slaughtered my family and destroyed everything I ever had."

 If Fatina was happy then, she was ecstatic now. A child filled with hate. Oh! The Best type of child. She decided to make this child her best creation.

 "You have pleased me child, Besides making you the most wanted woman in the world, I will make you immortal and forever young. But one catch, every century, there will be one man you fall desperately in love with but they will always be taken from you. Every love you ever have will slip through your fingers and leave you alone in this world. Deal?"

The girl considered this offer and whispered, "Deal"

Ch. 1

But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?

It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.

Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,

Who is already sick and pale with grief,

That thou her maid art far more fair than she:

Be not her maid, since she is envious.......

He is here, the one she have been waiting for, the one who will make her whole again, then leave her in pieces.  She am determined this time. She am going to die with him.
