A Charmed Life...
By all means Taylpr had what many people called a good life. Sure, there were issues in her life but they were small issues. Like, not being able to do something because her parents said no. She grew up upper middle class with enough money that she was comfortable but not so much that she could have anything her heart desire. Her parents taught her the value of hard work. She was loved and cared for and grew up a happy child.
She was the type of child that was open and honest. She cared about others and dreamed of some day being a journalist and reporting the hard stories. Bringing to light the suffering or those around the world and making a difference. She was a bright girl that enjoyed school and her studies and she even had a great boyfriend. She thought he was great at any rate. Quintin was a more reserved person but she didn't care he was open with her and they wanted nothing more than to build a life together. He asked her to marry him and while many people thought they should wait that they were too young they didn't care. They were happy and they would forge forward with their life together.
A Night to Remember...
It would seem that life couldn't get any better. She got the job she always wanted she was living with her boyfriend and they were planning their wedding. Everything seemed to be heading in the right direction. However, one night just by chance Quin would go to a party with an old friend and stay a bit longer than he should have. She left work and waited outside for him like she always did waiting for him to pick her up and after awhile it became clear that he wasn't going to show.
She was mad at him for not showing up but then she started to worry that something had happened to him. She didn't think he had forgotten her it wasn't like him but all people sometimes forget or make mistakes or get distracted. She decided she would walk home it really wasn't that far and despite it being late at night she didn't feel like anything bad would happen. So, she would go home check to see if there were any messages and go from there.
So, she left her job and headed home. It was going just fine as she heard some guys heckling her as she watched by. They were leaning against a building and she didn't think twice about it. But, when they started to follow her she got concerned as she tried to ignore them. One of them grabbed her arm and she pulled away and ran. However, another was in front of her and she was trapped as they drug her off to a nearby alley where she was violently raped and left there to die or live depending on her own power she supposed.
She remembered laying there wondering if she would die alone in the alley without anyone around and what her family and friends would say when they finally did find her. A couple that happened by found her and called the police and she was rushed to the hospital an she passed out having no idea of the events that would transpire while she was out.
Vanishing Act...
She woke up expecting to find Quin there. However, once again her world would be shattered. She had been worried about him before when he hadn't shown up and even more when she work up to find his sister Jessie sitting there instead of him. However, she explained to her how her brother had lost track of time catching up with an old friend and had forgotten to pick her up while she was upset she was relieved that he was alright.
However, Jessie seemed concerned. She found that that Quin had been upset about what had happened and blamed himself. That he had stayed by her side but he was so sleepy that she had suggested he go home and get some rest offering to stay by her side but that was days ago and he never made it home. She didn't know what had happened that night.
Jessie was concerned and now so was she it wasn't like him. They thought maybe he went looking for those that had hurt her and was now lying dead in a ditch. The truth was one that neither girl would know. That Jessie's friend Heil would offer him a ride. Heil was a strange man who was cruel to most people Jessie the only one he seemed to like. He offered her brother a ride and kidnapped him. He did horrible experiments that caused him to forget his memory of home. Neither girl however, knew this the only thing they knew was he was gone.
They called the police and they tried to find him but to no avail. It was assumed that he ran away in shame of what had happened or he had went after those who did it and met a bad end. Taylor fought there was more to it than that she had no idea why it was just something inside of her that knew this. It was a nagging sense in the back of her head. She could no longer stand it. Using her skills as a reporter she set out to find the truth. The truth would lead her far away from home as she would stop at nothing to find Quin dead of alive she was going to get answers.
A Prisoner, a Madman, a Lover?...
During her search she met a man that told her his name was Hatred's Kiss. She doubted that was his name but he seemed to claim it and found it funny as he giggled at her. She wasn't sure what to make of him and he made her afraid yet she felt a strange connection to him. He drug her off with him to his apartment where he refuses to let her leave. She has no idea why she is drawn to him. A part of her believes he is Quin and that someone did something to him even changed his looks. She thought that perhaps some part of him was drawn to her because deep down he remembers her and his love for her and if she stays maybe she can find out the truth or bring him back to himself.
The truth being that he was also apart of the experiments done by Heil to make the perfect solider. They drove him mad however and he has issues from them. He was around the same time as Quin and he felt his emotions during that time and some of them seemed to have stuck. He wants to see if it is those feelings that drew him to her or something else. She wants to see if he is Quin. But, more than that she thinks they answers are there somewhere.
The real Quin is out there and was found by a woman named Kalia with no memories but she is helping him to find out who he is and where he came from. Jessie followed after her afraid she would disappear also and Heil went with Jessie not wanting her to find out the truth of what he had done to her brother. All the players are gathered and only time will tell who finds out what first and what the end result will be.
