Editing Belle E. Thorne (section)

== Before Kindred Life ==
Belle was born and raised in Massachusetts for most of her mortal life. She, however, moved away from her hometown with her boyfriend to persue her education at Salem University to study Psychology in hopes of becoming a PsyD. During her time as a Psychology major at the university, her psychology professor was the person she interacted with the most. Her professor, Dr. Darian Lee, was the only professor who did night classes for her Abnormal Psychology class. He often asked her about the typical things a professor would ask a college student... other things not so much. Dr. Lee would ask her about what she knows about the "occult". It wasn't uncommon that Belle and her partner often consumed media from serial killers to the occult, it was something they enjoyed. Half the reason why they decided to start a life here was their fondness for the supernatural. "But that's all fucked up stories parents would tell their kids" Belle would say in jest.

One night, Belle was doing her research on some topic she heard about online. While scrolling through, she stumbled upon a post about a book. There wasn't much about the book that looked out of the ordinary, a simple black leather book only 2.5 inches thick. Despite how ordinary the book looked, Belle was... affixed to it. She's seen that book before and something compelled her to go find it. Belle snuck into the university, snuck up to the library, the door was suspiciously unlocked but she continued to press on. As she looked through almost every shelf trying to find the book, she felt someone's presence behind her.

Belle doesn't remember anything else after the embrace by her own professor.
