Her screams filled the entire room, letting out a sound of agony and resentment. She wanted the whole world to know how angry she was at it. She wanted heaven to pay attention to its failure. She wanted hell to see that it had finally won.

All she had wanted to do was save a life. A life that mattered to her most. A life that had protected her but she had failed to do the same. So, when she found herself at the brink of a cliff, she knew that the living were no longer her friends but her enemies.

Yet just when she was about to leave the world of the living behind, the sound of the leaves crunching was quick to gain her attention. Giving birth to a stranger with no identity. The cloak hid the stranger's image and the fact that darkness had eliminated the light made it even harder when she squinted.

"Such a pity, that a beautiful woman like you has to suffer…" the stranger said, his voice dark and husky. "Let me take the pain away from you and give you all that you desire".

"Wh-o, who are you?" she croaked, quickly wiping away the tears that had begun to to blind her again. She didn't want to miss catching a glimpse of the man's image.

"Call me The Forbidden" he teased, causing chills to go through her body as she felt the dark aura around the man shift as if surrounding her.

"How can the forbidden help me?"

"Easily Aria, just make a deal with me and I will take all your pain away. Giving you exactly what you want and what you need but at a price of course."

"What deal would this be? And why should I trust you?" she croaked, afraid to be tricked out of one mess and into another.

"You give a life for a life. What would you do to save the person you loved, to save them from a dark fate you put them in."

"I didn't!" she snapped

"Oh, but you did. Now that very life lays in hospital and those very people that are paid to save her life, are about to take it away by simply flicking a switch."

"What do I have to do?" she asked, feeling her emotions begin to grow out of control.

"Give your life to me and her life will be restored as easy as a snap of a finger."

Slowly she watched him draw closer as if waiting for her to pick between life and death. He stopped before her, his hand stretched out, waiting for her to accept a fate she had no full understanding of.

Suddenly the thunder filled the skies as she grabbed his hand to avoid changing her mind. She felt as though the heavens were crying because she had just made a deal with the devil.

Her fate sealed.
