She gave up everything she knew... Living a solitary life had always worked for Flame. She was comfortable in the Forest of Fire, with no one but herself and her familiar, Raj. She didn't know what she was truly missing until one faithful night when she found herself dropped at the feet of the Blood Warriors. They were giving her the chance of a lifetime, handing her the opportunity to join them. But she would have to give up everything she knew. Her home, her comfort and enter a world she knew nothing of. They offered her a new home, new hope and a chance at love, but she had a secret. A dark deadly secret. Would the warriors accept her if they knew the truth or would she lose everything she'd just found? would he be able to... Life for Xander had always been filled with pain and loneliness. There was nothing soft or gentle in his life and he swore there never would be, there never could be. Because of his curse he knew he was doomed to live out his immortal life alone. That all changed when a fiery red-head was thrust through their front door. There was something soft about the spitfire that touched the deepest, coldest parts of him. Slowly she began weaving herself under the defenses he'd build around his heart, thawing him. She slowly made him think of love. But he had his own demons to face and knew just how dangerous he could be. Could he let go of his fears and his past and accept what she offered before it was too late? accept the chance at love?
