Prologue

It's time; time to return. I'm writing this now just in case things don't go to plan. There is so much I left behind when I came here, so much that I now have to face. I don't know how people will receive me. I know that it will at least come as a shock. I know there will be some people that won't care for my return and some I was unsure. I have to do it though; I am the only one who can stop him now, the monster that I created. My name is Clarissa Morgenstern and this is my story.

My brother Jonathan left to go demon hunting with his friends. When I was a kid, I used to beg him to let me come along, but I was never allowed. 'We were too much of an influential family', that's what my father says, the famous Morgensterns, and had to keep up appearances. Girls weren't made for fighting, girls were made for looking pretty and keeping quiet.

Plus Jonathan said I'd just be an embarrassment and get myself killed. I always wanted to go; enjoy the thrill of being a warrior and saving the world. Instead, I get to look pretty in a dress and shop all day. It may be Isabelle's dream life, but it sure as hell wasn't mine.

Isabelle was my best friend. Her parents didn't live in Alicante, but she was sent to us to learn etiquette as my mother and hers were old friends. I never met any of her family but, as she says, apparently they're 'Simply ghastly!'

I know, however, despite what she says she misses them every day, but some of the things she tells me! She has three brothers, three! I can barely stand living with one! She doesn't talk about the oldest much, Alec, I think his name is. I got the impression he was quiet most of the time and got on with his own thing but when the time called for it still drove her barmy. The youngest however, I think she has a soft spot for; she mostly talks of him fondly and clearly gets on with him much better- Max his name is.

The third brother, the middle boy, she has many names for him; pig, asshole, man whore, 'lad', golden boy and just occasionally Jace. Clearly he lives to wind her up, and a day doesn't go by where I don't hear about it.

He's got to be better than Jon though, we never got along. To be honest I don't get along with any of my family. Soon though he's going off with a group of guys to try and cut down the sudden increase of demon activity. It'll be an entire month without his company. That alone is enough to make me smile. Then it's just my parents I have to put up with.

As far as their concerned I'm a disappointment. They would kill to have someone like Izzy as a daughter. A model citizen that other girls could look up to; someone who enjoyed wearing pretty dresses and could keep their mouth shut rather than having opinions on things that apparently 'had nothing to do with them'.

My mum is the lesser of two evils. She just wants me to be like her, like the things that she likes. The problem is that I can't. I think there's too much of my father in me to stay quiet and obedient. Clearly I was born the wrong gender. If she does have any opinions on things, she's very good at keeping them to herself, I've thought on many occasions that she might be scared of dad, or perhaps she just doesn't want her 'perfect' life to change?

My dad and I did not get on. We did not get on at all. Probably because we're both as stubborn as hell but fight for opposing sides as it were.

I couldn't wait to get out of this house, I just didn't realise my chance would come as soon as it did.

Edit (14.02.2013): Okay so this is a little weird coming back and adding an AN years on from writing this. I'm just sorting through my old chapters and improving them. The main thing that you'll need to read here is the first paragraph. That is actually brand new. If you're a new reader, don't worry!

Edit 2 (16.07.2013): And so the maintenance on my story has begun. This wasn't my first story or my newest but this one is my baby and when I FINALLY finish it, I want it to be damn good. There'll be extra chapters added but mostly I'm going to really renovate the existing chapters, starting with this one.
