Brillant...
That was what they she had always been called. From as long as she could remember she was always above her peers. Above her own brother whom she wanted nothing more than to like her. She excelled at just about everything she ever set out to do. And the one thing she wanted to do more than anything else was learn. She gathered knowledge like most people collected stamps or books. She soaked it up and flew through school.
She was even able to be in the same grade as her brother who was two years older than her much to his annoyance. They loved each other but it wore on him to have the sister that everyone raved about. Despite this fact the two of them were close and despite the issues any brother and sister might have in these situations they loved and looked out for each other.
She continued through school graduating at the age of 16 as she went on to college top of her class and ready to take on a new challenge. Choosing the field of psychology she had a bright future ahead of her. She adjusted well enough to college life despite her age. Nilyne was a personable person who gathered people around her like a moth to the flame.
She made friends easily despite the fact that so was a bit younger than her peers. She was fun loving and cared deeply about others and enjoyed adventures. Just as she loved to learn new information she loved learning about people. Why they acted the way they did and picked the choices that they made.
The Path of Fate...
She got her associates degree and moved on towards her next degree. By the age of 18 she almost had her BA and was close to beginning her graduate work. It was here that her life would change forever. It was all over the news the serial killer, who later came known as 'The God Killer,' came into the scene.
He baffled the experts who were unable to figure out his pattern. A ingenious mind, that almost seemed to be taunting them. A true mad man they said. He seemed to pick his targets at random with no rhyme or reason. Nothing seemed to tie his targets together. They came from all walks of life, both sexes, all different ages, and picked up at random places. He might killed three a day, or none for weeks and weeks, or he might keep them for awhile before killing or kill them in a moment.
It was this that caused her teacher who was helping with the case to take a chance and pose as a hypothetical question to his case some of the details of the case hoping someone might spark an idea within his head. Nilyne did more than that she figured the man out. Not completely but she found the missing link. He thought himself a god. And like God his acts were suppose to be random. His pattern was in that act alone. He was trying to perfect a world and create it in the image he wanted.
The people he picked had some sort of imperfection as he might put it and he had to correct it. But, his method of doing this was his own at his own time and in his own way. The teacher was amazed by her assessment as it seemed to be true. And more so she was able to guess his next move. They almost caught him with the information she provided. Closer than they had ever been. He approached her with the truth and asked if she would like to come on board to assist the team.
A Roll of the Dice...
It was the chance that people her age don't normally get. The kind of exposure that could launch her career before it had even got started. She jumped at the chance if for no other reason than to catch a killer. Despite her ability to gauge the man they seemed no closer to catching him.
If anything he started to get cleverer. With each move she matched him with her own. The two of them began to play a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the lives of others hanging in the balance. It came that he stopped addressing anyone but her. He would only address her. She was the only one as he put it close enough to himself to engage.
She had drawn the attention of a mad man. He spoke of her as a equal, the only person to match his own protection. Her friends begged her to leave the case before the man came for her. She refused at first not wanting to let people die if she could help it. But, in time she would come to change her mind. Her best friend was the most vocal, a guy who most seemed to think had a crush on her. Whether or not he did who was to say she certainly didn't know his thoughts. But, he fought with her to pull out of the case time and time again.
A Change of Heart...
She had no intention of leaving the case till one day she found the body of a dog that had bite her when she was walking hung up from her door. The phone calls started around that time. Instead of notes to her for the first time she was actually speaking to the killer. Being freaked out by the events and no longer believing she was safe she pulled out of the case with prompting from her friend.
The killer told her that she needed to return or he would take measures to punish her. She didn't return how could she. It was then that her best friend was found dead. They could barely identify the body and she was pulled back in to the case. This time determined to end the game once and for all. He had taken it to a person level.
Filled with guilt for those she couldn't save, her own friend included. She was going to end him one way or another. That was when a plan began to develop. She had the perfect bait. She had herself. So, she set out to make a trap for the so called 'God Killer' as the press had started to call him. She would lure him out and set up for him to be arrested.
The Best Laid Plans...
It all went as planned. She had her back up to very capable officers, she hadn't wanted to much he would notice. She had to be careful about the whole thing. It would have went fine if it wasn't for the fact she was betrayed. One of the two officers she had picked betrayed her. He killed his partner while they were waiting for her signal and she was left alone to face a killer.
However, the killer hadn't wanted to hurt her. Not in the way that one might think. He wanted to capture her and take her with him. Unable to stop him she found herself knocked out and woke in a new place. The truth of what had happened was revealed to her. He had paid the man to betray her. The officer that betrayed her went back claiming that his partner had been the traitor and they had fought. He killed him in defense of himself but by the time he was able to do so, Nilyne and the killer were gone.
Nilyne's brother began to work with the police in hopes to find his sister. But, he quickly was unsure who he could trust. So, he enlisted the help of an old friend. A man who had connections in the under world among the more undesirables. He would do anything to bring his sister home again.
Nilyne found herself in another place with a mad man. A man determined to break her mind. He believed that if he could drive her mad she would stay with him. Or at the very least that she would learn to fear him and obey him. So, he locked her up and tortured people in front of her. Making her responsible for their deaths. If she didn't do as he wanted or said. She was subjected to all sorts of degradation at his hands. She was unable to help them as he craved them apart piece by piece and with each death she slipped further into madness.
She began to see things from his view point. Sometimes, fearing she would become like him. Other times fearing she would become nothing but a shell who would do anything not to suffer. She held on by the tiniest of threads for six months. It was then that the reign of the 'God Killer' would end.
Her brother had looked for her for all this time and he and his friend discovered her location. They came for her recruiting those that they could trust. They broke in and freed her after doing battle with a mad man. He was then took away and locked up for his crimes and Nilyne was free to pick up the pieces of a broken life. She revealed the truth of that night and the officer that had helped him was also arrested. It appeared with time she might be able to move on.

Rescued...

She revealed the truth of that night and the officer that had helped him was also arrested. It appeared with time she might be able to move on.
With rest, time, and medical attention she might have returned to some semblance of the woman she had once been. Perhaps, a bit lost at times but able to function in the world around her. If it wasn't for her parents. The attention she was getting caused her parents whom she went to live with after it was all done to seek out more. They saw her as a way to make money. And instead of letting her rest and get help they booked interview after interview.
This caused her to relive it all over and over again before she was ready to deal with it. She fell into depression and slipped further and further into madness till she was unable to come out. Her brother became mad and took her away. The problem was she was a very smart girl and she escaped from the places he sent her time and time again.
Till his friend offered to assist creating a special place for her. He had money and had come to care for Nilyne very much. Hiring special guards and building her own hospital with state of the art security she has existed there ever since. She is still insane though she has moments of clarity.

Those that guard her allow her to do what she wants within the walls. Anything can set her off a color, a word, or an item. They change things on her whim. She is still the same girl under it all and only time will tell if she ever returns. The 'God Killer' is still in jail and awaits his day of execution as for Nilyne she is in a prison of her own making.
