Mum and Dad disappeared when I was sixteen.

We don't really know what it was. Dad worked as a carpenter (apprenticing me on the side), Mum sold quilts at the market (and weapons, when she could get her hands on them). I always knew they'd end up getting in trouble. Could've been with one of the many gangs roaming the alleys, could've been with the Peacekeepers, could've been with their neighbors. I'd been expecting it for a while, so had Eva and Jules.

We moved in with Mum's sister, a woman in her late thirties who was blind drunk more often than I was out having a smoke. Mum always said it was bad for you, smoking, but now there's no one around telling me not to.

Wood figurines were what brought in the money; delicate, minuscule paintings were what passed the time when I had any to spare. Mum taught me how to do those. Like I said, Dad attempted to teach me carpentry, but he'd always find me at the back of the shop, whittling away at a stick.

I wanted to move out when I turned eighteen. Eva was sixteen, Jules was nine. We were old enough to take care of ourselves.

Eva was the one who wouldn't let me leave. It was strange, considering both of us put our family first, that when we first got their, we didn't care about our aunt. Some noble cause had built up inside her, and she said we couldn't just leave. We had to stay.

So we did. We brought in the money for our aunt, we kept her fed, Eva and I found alcohol when she wouldn't stop screaming for it. We kept her safe, and we kept ourselves fed.

Somehow, we're still managing.
