Chapter 1 - Prologue

Averys pov

It all began on a cold summer night, on an empty parking lot. I wasn't prepared for this kind of life. I would've never thought that it could get worse than before. I sat on the floor, arms around my body, seeing nothing but my tears dripping on the ground.

I lost everything. My home, my family, my life. Where should a 14 year old girl could go to in this situation? I don't know. So I sat there. I didn't know how much time has passed by, I lost the sense of time but a deep voice tore me out of my thoughts.

,,You don't look well my little girl. What happened to you?"

I glanced up and looked into a face of an old man with a hat on his head.

He seemed like a friendly person who wants to help. I hoped so. Because i could only rely on help from others now.

,,I was thrown away by my parents. My hole life they treated me like shit and now finally they had the chance to kick me out of my home. I never really saw this house as my home tho. BUT I AM FUCKING HOMELESS NOW AND I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO OR WHERE TO GO!" By screaming these words my feelings completely went out and I cried all my grief out.

The old man looked in my eyes and I don't know if I imagined it but I think for a brief moment I saw evil in his eyes.

,,My poor girl. I'm an old man who can't offer you a perfect life. But if you have nothing against it I would take you with me. I would love to be your father and give you a warm home. I have a young son in my house who is at the same age as you. He would be your adoptive brother and I promise we'd treat you well if you choose to come with me and live with us as long as you like."

A loud voice in my chest protested to go with him but my mind at that moment was blank. So I went with him like a naive little girl, not knowing what this choice would actually mean for the rest of my life.

Tylers pov

And again. Im alone again. Im so tired of this shit. Why does my dad keep leaving me alone in this fucking big house. Shouldn't Dads accompany young men like me through life? But it's okay. It has always been like this. I'm already used to it so it shouldn't matter to me. But it did. Cause this time he promised to be with me on my birthday. Today I turned 16 and the only thing I heard from my dad was his voice mail when I called him. But it doesn't matter for him what event it is, my dad always finds excuses to not spend time with me. Some days he doesnt even sleep with me under this roof. I don't know what it is but from day to day it keeps getting weirder. He acts suspicious. He seems scared when I have the intention to ask him questions. He always tries to avoid me.

But this day, the house bell rang and I ran down to open the door. It must be my dad. And IT WAS. But not just him. I glanced down. He held a young girls small hand. I felt a deep stap in my chest. Then I looked into the girls face and I was ashamed that I felt even a little bit jealousy. The little girl looked horrible. She must've cried a lot because her eyes were really swollen. But why was my dad bringing a strange girl to our home tho.

,,Tyler this is Avery. She's gonna stay with us for quite a long time. Be friendly with her and see her as your sister. Take care of her. It's your duty when I'm not home." By his last words he avoided my gaze again and looked sorryful to the floor. Without saying another word he took his hat from his head and silently went into the house, up to his room. Now he left me and this girl alone. I looked her into the eyes and already felt pity with her. Avery. I took her by her hand and brought her inside the house. Now I'm not alone anymore. But I dont know if this is right.

Zayns pov

„You need to go to the human realm and find your brother, my Prince."

This hole situation is seriously annoying. „And what do you want me to do as soon I find him?"

„Why, kill him of course."

That's finally an idea I'm starting to like but..

„I can't kill him as long as he doesn't have any memories of this land, you know this."

„You just need to make him remember, Prince"

„And how do you think I should do this?"

„I'm sure you'll find a way"

„Well, it seems like I don't have another choice, do I?"

„Not if you want to sit on the throne."

And all of this just because my father thought it would be a good Idea to cast a curse upon us before he died. Annoying.

"Then I will get going."

Zades pov:

"It's great to hear that you feel better, but we still should run some tests."

"I feel like I have forgotten something very important and it drives me crazy, doctor."

"Hm normally a person doesn't feel that way after a memory loss but it's possible that that this is just a side effect because you lost all of your memories. Also it's going to get difficult for you because we can't find anything about you in the Database. But lucky you, the family that found you on the streets are ready to accept you as part of their family."

"A family.."

"That's Right, a family, now you should go, meet them and try to live your new life to the fullest."

"Thank you doctor."

...

I still can't believe I have a family. When I woke in the middle of a street I felt so lost and started to cry. But I was really lucky when this married couple with a daughter came by and listened to me whining about don't knowing where I was or who I was. They even brought me to this hospital to get me help and now they want to raise me as their son. My new little sister is really cute, it seems she's only a year younger than I seem to be and her name is Aria. I think we're going to be friends soon.
