Instinct
Instincts are immortal protectors of those who fight to survive. They can not save all, but they try. Their numbers are few and they can only hear one person at a time. It may not seem like much but it matters to the one person.
Sandra Clarke is one of those people. After a life of Death coming for her loved ones, it finally comes for her. However, Death is stopped by The Innocent, an Instinct named Red. Knowing he has failed to saved Sandra's loved ones, he offers her the permanent protection of himself and his kin.
Being the ward of an Instinct seems like a big change to her life. However, Sandra and her Instinct protectors will soon find out that she will have a big impact upon them and all Instincts as well.
