Synopsis
"I'll burn down the world for you... because not even hell can take you away from me..." ______________ She was once free but now she's bound to him. By what means? Raine Olvera, as charming and docile as a spring day flower with the looks of a barbie doll would never ask for more other than living a simple and peaceful life. Everything about her felt peaceful, from helping her mother during the weekday to spending time with her best friend during the weekend. Who would have thought that everything would take a sudden u-turn after a certain encounter... Just a night... a night which she had no memory of but yet had turned her once peaceful life into a chaotic one. She found herself stumbling into an unknown world. A world where she didn't know the way back or is it that she didn't want to go back after meeting him? She met him in the weirdest way possible. Watching her sleep at night was all he ever did. Who was he? A freak? he definitely didn't look like one, not in the way his beauty felt so ethereal and out of this world. She was drawn to him by his presence alone. Unknowingly, he had a hidden intent behind his actions every night. "Kill her... She's a threat to our existence," his people would always tell him. But what could he do when a certain frail looking doll chained him from every actions. He felt helpless in front of weak-looking girl. Once mighty and powerful and yet he couldn't conquer a doll? This girl... she didn't even spare his heart and now he found it bound in chains. Chains that he could never break. But how long could it all last when the strange forces awakening in her was the greatest weakness of his people. Would he choose to eliminate her to save his people or would he burn the world just for her?

Chapter 1 - DON'T LEAVE ME... PLEASE

It was past midnight in X city. The shimmering lights flicker in the distance as the starry night sky sweeps over the city that never seemed to have a dull moment.

The big claws of the silvery moon shone diligently through the open balcony of Raine's room. It cast a perfect shadow of her in a lacy pink nightdress sitting on the bed with a crestfallen expression.

She looked up to glance at the man in front of her for a long time as if trying to memorize his perfect features. With teary eyes and a raspy voice she finally found her tongue.

"Do you have to go?" she whispered and her voice was as silent as the midnight sky. The figure looked down at her with a slight gleam in his misty grey eyes, his long lashes almost made it impossible to see his eyeballs.

He raised his hands and caressed Raine's cheeks slightly and she flinched at the touch of his hands. His hands were cold, too cold to be a human's but somehow that icy cold hands touched the softest spot her heart.

She didn't know when she let out a tear until the salty liquid hit her lips slightly and she shuddered.

Raising her voice a little, she asked again, "Why do you have to leave me?"

This time, the figure crouched down to her height, still caressing her cheeks as he placed a soft kiss on her forehead. He wanted to stay longer but he knew that if he did, everything he had ever worked for will go downhill.

Raine clutched both sides of his arms with her tiny hands tightly and more tears flowed down her eyes.

Looking at the scene, he felt that his heart was being stabbed by thousands of tiny needles. He knew if he stayed longer, his last resolve will be broken so he immediately blew softly into her ear and whispered, "Go to sleep, my love."

As if driven by a spell, Raine immediately shut her eyes tightly and drifted off the sleep. The man placed her carefully on the bed and stared at her for what seemed like forever.

He finally planted soft kisses on her forehead, eyes, nose, and cheeks and when he got to her lips, he stared at them for a long time before quickly averting his gaze back to her face. Kissing her on the lips would be like digging his own grave so he caressed her silky auburn hair softly before finally whispering into the vast and silent night.

"I have to go Raine, but I'll be back soon..." With that said, he immediately disappeared into the dark night.

As Raine slept, she had a terrible dream and kept muttering softly, "Jedrek please don't go, please don't, you promised me....."

She had beads of sweat on her forehead and her long lashes quivered softly. Her soft pink lips continued moving incoherently, making silent sounds and that night turned out to be the most terrible night of her life.

The next morning she woke up with a brain-splitting headache as the dappled sun shone through her light linen curtain, bringing with it a flurry of the early morning activity.

Quickly, she jumped out of bed with the expectation to see him standing by the window but he wasn't there. She checked everywhere, her closet, the bathroom before finally settling in on the balcony but still there was no trace of him anywhere as if he never existed.

So it wasn't just a dream...

Thump!!!

She fell to her knees with a choking sensation on her chest and she clutched her chest tightly as if trying to numb the pain in her heart. Who knew that she would ever grow so attached to a creature of the night and now she had to bear the consequences.

Tears brimmed down her eyes softly and she broke into choking sobs immediately, "You promised me, you did...Please come back.." She whispered but only got a response from the soft early morning breeze indicating that no one was hearing her.

He left...

He really left...
