I had never really thought about fate before.
Why things happen.
And why things don't.
I always thought the events in my life were optional.
Never an already plotted life.
Not predetermined.
Destiny was a word I laughed at.
There was no such thing.
At least, that is what I thought.
Before everything changed and things started to make sense.

Prologue
I knew that this would eventually happen.
I mean, come on. It is not like my existence wasn't plagued by problems, misfortunes and down and out bad luck. Everything about me screamed danger, but my mystery caused people to come to me. It was nothing to do with the way I am. I deter people from coming close to me. It will only put their lives at risk.
But I didn't want to be a monster. Not anymore.
It never used to bother me; the way I am. But now I despise it. My very being revolts me.
I don't want it; any of it. And the reason?
I don't want to put him in danger.
But as usual, I can't do anything right.
And now he is going to die.
All because of me.
