Prologue
Every story has a beginning. Once upon a time…
Pretty common start, I'd say. Well, anyways, I am here to tell you my story. I must say, it's not the happiest thing in the world. I'll start when I'm 16, living in New York, going to a private school called Duchene, and fighting to keep the heart of the one I love. His name is Benjamin. Benjamin Force, but everyone calls him Jack. To me, his name is Abaddon.
Abaddon is my twin, the one my soul desires. Yep, sounds pretty cool, right? Wrong. He's betrayed me. Again. Sounds kind of weird that I'm used to it, I know. But I am. He's betrayed me hundreds of times and I've forgiven him. But this time is different, I can feel it. He's gone after, and has always gone after, Gabrielle. But this time her name is Schuyler Van Alen. She's her daughter and she's not the prettiest flower in the bouquet. That may be harsh, but true, in my opinion.
Anyways, back to the point, Abaddon has gone behind my back with her, and as much as I hate to admit it… it's killing me. I love him, I really do. Even when nothing else is clear, my love for him is. And he's taken it for granted.
I just realized something. I forgot to tell you who I am. Well, my name is Madeleine Force (Mimi for short). I am the Angel of Death, otherwise known as Azrael. Now that you know who I am and what my situation is, here is my story.
