Adrienne: There was only so much a human being could take before they snapped and I was at my limit. I wanted to lead a normal life, free from the grasp of the darkness that consumed me, but someone else had other ideas. As much as it thought to wreck me, it didn't count on the anger I had stored away. I would use the broken glass slipper, discarded at midnight, and fashion it into a weapon. Because the very monster that was after me was after one thing. My heart. Zayne: The monster clawed for freedom. She thought she could escape. She thought she could wipe away my very existence. Her mistake was thinking that she could release me from my cage and not endure the consequences. You don't feed a monster and then take away its source of life. Now I was after her, calling for retribution. I would get what was owed to me. And that was her absolute submission. ~~~~~ After her mother's death, Adrienne Vitelli contended with a childhood that no other child should have to endure. Her only solace was her childhood friend Zayne Novak, who had his own share of hardships, growing up with a drunk, abusive father. The two shared a strong bond, as Adrienne grew to understand Zayne a little more each day. It wasn't long before Zayne and Adrienne became good friends, but things shifted as soon as her stepmother and her two stepsisters entered her life. Now, Adrienne found herself falling into a pit of darkness, as she suffered with the dark changes in her life, pushing those around her away, much to Zayne's displeasure. Soon what was once a solid friendship had devolved into enemies. As years passed, Zayne's determined to seek revenge. He wants nothing more than to drag Adrienne back to him, tie him to her irrevocably, but Adrienne has other ideas. She wasn't going to come back so easily, as she held steadfast to her determination to remain free of the darkness that Zayne possessed. So what is Adrienne to do when Zayne finds her?
