A girl scavenges in the woods. Her blight has gifted her with heightened senses and an adept hunting ability, but constricted her to remain on the very outskirts of human civilization. She may never know what it is like to have a family again, or friends, or to have a normal life. Feared by herself and others of mankind, she is damned to walk alone no matter how much she seeks companionship, and no matter how much she pleads for help.
Another girl sits alone in her vast library, save for her caretaker and servant. She spends day after day reading her grimnoirs and researching the dark arts. There is no normal heartbeat within her, but rather the sounds of tiny metal machinery. Every time she feels it pump in her, she is reminded of the atrocity power can be when you are not the one with it. With time and practice, she plans to become the puppet master with all of the strings in her grasp.
A boy walks to a meeting point in a junk yard. He carries with him a backpack of supplies and whatever courage he could find. Looking for something to do he took the first club he saw, thinking it wouldn't be so serious until now. It will be proven tonight if he can handle the task he has committed himself. Thinking about it again his palms sweat and his muscles tense up, and remembers that he wanted to find a fun adventure, but now fears for his safety.
Another boy procrastinates on his homework, instead filling his mind with the inked pictures of a comic book. He only has his mother with him since the divorce, but working two jobs she can barely see him. On top of that, his grades have not been satisfactory and he is at a loss. As he sits there reading and stressing over his life, he wishes his life was more interesting or easy.
What they won't know is that soon their fates will intertwine.
