-Nine years ago-
Arriving in Denmark so her mother could look after Zoey's ballerina skills and preparing her to become the next Prima; Adele was completely alone. From her tall stalky form, to her less than decent ballet skills, Adele had been fed every day that she was never good enough. "You're not like Zoey" to "How can you call yourself a ballerina when Zoey is the perfect example of one!" Every day the taunting voice of her mother from the studio was swarming her with false hope that one day, her mother would say, "What a ballerina, my very own daughter." But those words never touched her heart.
Adele slept in the attic while Zoey had the beautiful guest room. Every morning, Adele would wake up and tell herself, "Today is a new day," When really it was the same as always. Her clothes unfolded in the drawer as her flaming red hair gathered negative attention all around her to the point the maid suggested she dye her hair blond. "Today is a new day," she smiled for her heart. But it was never a new day. Just the same rainy day breaking her down....
-A New Day-
To entertain herself while her mother was out training her best friend Zoey to be a Prima ballerina under close and secret watch from the Russian balle troupe, Adele would talk to her nanny about the stories around the small village in Denmark.
"Every seven months a shinigami will appear to cure a girl's broken heart or a man's sweet revenge by killing anything without a second thought. People were outraged by this, so for years, the Asher family began to rise powerfully in the village and would send out one of their sons to defend the citizens against the shinigami. The Asher's were the last of a long line of elves that left this world for another. So, if you every see one Adele, don't ever let him go.." the old woman smiled.

So days later, Adele would always try and look for the Asher family. There wasn't any luck, the library was closed off to them, and the people of the village would ignore her every time! Till one afternoon her mother told her the news that Zoey had become a Prima Ballerina, "She was so wonderful, Adele, I'm so proud of her, why can't you be anything like Zoey, Adele? She's so sweet and kind and talented, yet you're tall, lanky, and have the worst posture, I don't know why you haven't tried to be a Prima. I wish I had given birth to Zoey rather than you..." her mother stated.
That was the clincher, Adele ran up to her room in tears, angry and hateful for what her mother just said, that she looked out her window and began to feel that hatred call out for a shinigami to kill her mother. She no longer cared for her mother's life anymore. "I just want that horrible woman gone..." she breathed into the empty air. But suddenly before the thoughts dug deeper, a glowing haze of white hair and silver eyes stood before her. "Are you a shinigami?" she whimpered. He lifted his hand in the air and breathed a spell that surrounded her. The glowing of white and purple dust flicked and pulled at her skin. Just from breathing, the dust had entered her lungs and she instantly fell deep into a haze. Her mind was loosing the thoughts of hate and broken dreams, that when he stepped closer...her heart skipped a beat. He wrapped his arms around her and began chanting into her body,"I repel thee". Soon enough a dark smoke lifted from her heart and disappeared into the empty room. But she was now empty..."Don't leave me..." she gasped, clutching for hope, for security, for love, for anything to lift this empty feeling from her heart. When he began to let go. "I need to---" he was cut off by a strange feeling overwhelming his every thought.

She....she was his soul mate....he had finally found her soul....
"Who are you?" he asked. She felt the trance he created begin to intensify, "I'm....I'm Adelevice......Adelevice Lestat....I'm nobody"she choked. The elf shook his head, "No...you, Adelevice, are something wonderful to me." he breathed. Instantly Adele fell to the ground whimpering from the cold emptiness inside, "Then give me a reason to hope...everyday she says things about how wonderful Zoey is...but not once...not once does she notice me...." She began to crawl towards his feet, whimpering, "Give me a reason to hope..." The elf kneeled down and held her hands in his, "My name is Rayden Asher, the last son of the Asher family. You....you're the first human who's ever met and remembered an Asher in 200 years..."he stated. Adele shook her head, it wasn't enough to keep going on, noticing this, Rayden pressed his lips against her fingers, staring straight into her green eyes, "After 500 years, I found you...my eternal mate....my soul mate..." he breathed. Just hearing those words lifted her limbs, her soul, her happiness her everything, she was uncontrollably happy for the first time in her life. "Thank you...." she smiled...
