She could always remember how her father held her brother in his arms while he slept, and while she looked in from the doorway. Father always did favour her brothers over her, and as much as she longed for him to do the same to her... she knew, it would never come to pass.

The only attention Jade got was from her mother, a mortal Priestess taken away one night to serve the demons for eternity. One daughter, two sons. Mariya had not thought about having a daughter, and so left her with the females. Boys were better and always would be, he had once said. Her mother Dylena had killed herself, and Jade fled the Clan.

Her heart longed for someone to hold her till she fell asleep, someone to at least show some affection for her. Her brothers, the older too cold to talk to, the younger too reckless to be with, both were too busy for her. Her father considered her to be a nusiance, and her mother... the only person who had ever had time to sit with her... was gone.

Maybe it's just fate, Jade thought to console herself. Miles away from her homeland, she was alone. But then again... the word 'alone' was part of her life.

Or was she, really?

A hand reached out to her from where she sat, curled up against herself, under a small shelter, and she looked up to meet icy blue eyes.

"If you have no place to go to, why not work for me?"
