*DASHIEL POV*

My hands were painted crimson and my heart was racing. I didn't think that karma would catch up to me so soon.
All my life I've worked as a bounty hunter for organization called the dark tide.
They took me in when I was a kid and trained me to become a killing machine.
My dealings came to light and the moon goddess took the liberty of capturing me.
The guards forced me to get on my knees and my hands were bound behind my back.

The moon goddess stared at me with pity because I was a lost cause.

"Dashiel priest you have murdered thousands of innocent people without any remorse."

I rolled my eyes at her.

"Can we just get to the part where I make a dramatic escape? This is getting a little boring."

She sighed softly while the members of the council cussed at me for disrespecting my creator.

"Dashiel priest as your punishment I bound you to the cloak of darkness and you will become the angel of death."

"The souls of those innocent people will continue to haunt you for life."

My eyes widened in horror.

Fierce massive black wings sprang out of my back and I screamed in agony.
A dark cloak engulfed me and I felt the weight of my sins.

Ever since that awful day I've been collecting souls but that was all about to change because I found a way out.

Demetria Rhodes.

A human girl who looks harmless at first glance but she moves around with a halo that protects her.

I want it at all costs even if it means ending her life in order to save my own.

*DEMETRIA POV*

I stared at my trembling hands in contempt. I didn't want the power the halo granted me because it only brought misfortune to me and I lost my family in the process.

The only way to destroy the halo was by ending my miserable life.

I closed my eyes tightly and let go of all the pain and suffering.

I jumped off the building and felt my body falling into nothing but thin air.

A gasp escaped my lips when I felt someone's arms around me.
I peered my eyes open to find a man with black wings holding me.

His red eyes met mine intensely.

"A-angel?"
