Nellie and her younger brother Peter had suffered a great deal of abuse and hardship at the hands of their stepmother, father, birth mother, and even a boy she adored. 

Nellie's greatest wish throughout all of this was to find a place where she could leave happily with her brother without fear of their past following them both. But then another misfortune occurred, leading her to believe that no matter how hard she tried, her dreams would always be out of reach. 

However, things improve when Nellie meets a boy named Delian, who teaches her that life can be both kind and cruel and that it is not always one-sided. 

What happens when Nellie's now peaceful and almost perfect life is upended by an evil from her past life, who now claims to have nothing but good in its guts?

Dark Tunnel

I hesitated in the doorway of my father's room, unsure whether to knock or deal with him later. 


Since I got back home a day before yesterday, Dad has constantly nagged me on who the little girl was and why I brought them home with me? Or if I had kidnapped them? 


Well, technically, my acts couldn't be considered kidnapping, right? I mean, is it still abduction if she was sleeping unprotected on the side of a busy road with no one or anywhere to turn to? For all I know, I actually did her a favour. 


Well, I didn't really care anymore; all I cared about was the fact that I had managed to complicate my life by bringing her home, and worst of all, the girl refused to wake up due to a very high fever that she had undoubtedly picked up from sleeping out in the cold, and I had to stay up all night trying to bring it down, and as if to add to my troubles, her baby kept crying nonstop! 


“Kidnap or not?”
