Prologue

Maya's POV

My brother and I have been living with our uncle since forever. I don't even remember why. I was about 1 year old, when our parents died. In my mom's will, she gave parental rights to her brother, our uncle, and we were given to him. But what our mom didn't know was that her brother was a beginner junkie.

Yup, our uncle does drugs...occasionally. Which is why I said beginner junkie.

But he's also abusive. You're all probably like, 'Okay, she's telling us her life story, but we know nothing about her.'

Well, my name is Maya. Not short for anything, just plain Maya. My brother picked out that name and I'm not the least bit embarrassed about it. I'm 16, have brownish eyes, platinum blonde hair with brown natural streaks, and I'm about 5'2. That's pretty much it, I guess. Oh, and I love sports. Soccer is my favorite sport. Oh, and I'm somewhat hispanic... I mean, my mom was hispanic, but I never really learned the language and I don't exactly look Hispanic.

My brother's name is Nicholas but when he was like seven, he had a habit of biting things so I called him Fang, and the name just stuck. He is almost 18. A few more months and he can legally take me. You know, away from our uncle. We look nothing alike though. He has jet black hair, obsidian eyes and olive-toned skin. He's like 5'9. Pretty much the tallest kid in our grade.

Fang won't tell me about what happened to our parents, he told me their names though. Anne and Omega. What kind of name is Omega anyway?

Our uncle's name is John. But I hate that name, so I just call him my uncle. I guess life isn't so bad though. I have Fang to protect me from most things but maybe...he can't save me from everything.

A/N: Alright, this story went through surgery. I changed a lot of things so just enjoy it, and review por favor :) Edited on 10/22/12
