After an abusive relationship, college sophomore Ava Winters begins a spree of vigilante killing against the men she deems evil at her university. You can't trust just anyone with a pretty face. Case in point: College sophomore Ava Winters doesn't look like your typical serial killer, but her body count is rising. Like too many other girls, Ava falls for brilliant, broken Ethan Parke, a fellow college student with a dark past. She believes she can help him, that she can change him. But instead, his emotional abuse and cruelty towards her unlock something inside of Ava, something dark. In a series of misguided, traumatic attempts to find love after Ethan, Ava finds herself heartbroken and taken advantage of time and time again. From this, Ava's darkness proves fatal: she drugs and murders three college boys, including her rapist. For Ava, the kills are just. She is merely holding the boys accountable and making sure they will never hurt anyone else again. But as the police begin to unravel the drug overdoses and their connection to Ava, she knows only one thing. Ethan Parke must finally die. It's the only way she'll be free of him forever. Content Warning: This story includes depictions of sexual assault.

It's the second time when she has to solve the riddle to save someone's life. Jake has been waiting for her for three months but... What if it's too late? _____________________________________________ [MARCH 2023: THE STORY WAS CORRECTED] This fanfic takes place after episode 9 in the mobile game DUSKWOOD. I was waiting for episode 10 so I decided to create my own story. The story contains violent scenes, sexual content, strong language and adult content. This story contains graphics and photos from public resources so I don't have copyright to them. I use them in a creative way - I diversify them and add my personal artistic vision. I have copyright to my personal artwork. The story focuses on the story of Elena and Jake in the DIC which is my created universe, but the story still contains the themes of the game "Duskwood".
