The Love Charm

Prologue: Mysteries of the Past

"Goodbye Aya. May you be smiled upon…"

"Wait, don't go! Please..." She woke up in a cold sweat as flashbacks of the tragic incident kept haunting this girl, Aya Drevis, who is now eighteen. She can't escape from the cruel memories brought by her encounters with the 'undead', as well as the spirits of the people that her father experimented upon. It disturbed her conscience knowing that she had once pretended not to hear the pleas and cries of the vulnerable people inside her father's laboratory. What else could she do to change the past? It was feeble to think that a mere eleven-year-old girl can stop her "Mad Father" from turning humans into dolls. In fact, she was only kept alive by Alfred, her father, due to his sick obsession and Aya only managed to escape because of the blond boy who protected her until the end.

This boy with the hazel eyes seemed frail from Aya's memories, as she recalled how he tried to protect her with all his might from the persistent dolls that wanted her dead. Even after knowing that he is also part of the 'undead'-which are lost souls trapped within their own distorted bodies-Aya didn't seem to be afraid of him. Sure, their first encounter scared her because of how he suddenly talked to Aya with only one eye visible and the other was only the hollow eye socket burned by Alfred. As Aya uncovered the dark mysteries about her father, the boy was quietly following her, guiding her to the safest path possible. Little does she know that the boy becomes her greatest ally and he would be an irreplaceable man in her life…
