Chapter 1: New Encounters
I stood on the top of the old clock tower, which was crumbling away due to its age. Just as it was falling apart, so was my life. The chilly air nipped my skin and burned my lungs with every breath I took. I had nothing, I am no one. A void was where my heart should have been, but what is the point of feeling or living when you have nothing? Tears started streaming down my face, I stifled a sob. I walked to the edge of the ledge. I closed my eyes, leaned forward, and braced my body for death's clutches; except it never came.
I opened my eyes and I was surrounded by spiderwebs. Not the disgusting spiderwebs but the neatly developed ones that seem to glow white-blue against the pitch black landscape, like a void. I felt something light drop onto my shoulder. I look down to the left and saw a black spider with yellow markings looking up at me with cold, dead black eyes. I saw my eyes reflect in the spider's eyes, one hazel and the other was an electric yellow color.
"You are here, in my void. You have summoned a demon, therefore you ended up here, a place in between time and space. I can grant you a wish, but this wish comes with the price. The price is your soul." a voice said in my head. I looked down the spider, which nodded. I understood that he was the demon and the voice.
"Anything, huh?" I pondered for a minute, " Alright, I accept. My wish is that I want my family avenged no matter the cost and I want my mother."
"Very well, milady." As soon as he said those words, the air picked up and my surroundings turn to where I was falling. I shrieked as I prepared for impact with the cement. I was caught by a pair of strong arms, that pulled me into a broad chest. My eyes opened and I locked eyes with someone I have never seen before. The only thing that was familiar where the cold, dead eyes, except this time they were the same color as my right eye. He had raven black hair, but with a bluish hue and he wore a tailcoat, that was a Butler's.
"My name is Claude."
