I am insufficient. Well, that's not my name obviously, but that's what my family has decided I am. I'm Julie. I'm 14, about to be 15 years old. I have a twin sister, Jamie. Jamie is an angel. Perfect at everything, and can do no wrong. At least in my family's eyes. And I? I am not perfect. I am a disappointment.

And what happens when Julie comes to realise that the people she was living with, weren't all who they said they were?

"I wish you were never born!" Ryan screamed, tears freely gliding down both our cheeks, his hand shaking in what seemed to be anger. "I told you to stay the fuck away from me, from all of us." "Fine!" I gulped, raising my voice just as loud, creating an even bigger gap in front of us, this wasn't the Ryan I loved. No this was someone entirely different. " 'Family' is the mud on your shoe when it comes to you three!" Lucas and Blake shook on the sides of Ryan, they seemed equally as angry yet with a tinge of helplessness in their eyes. "I hate you," I continued when none of them spoke up. "You guys would've been better off dead!" I screamed, before storming into my room and slamming the door behind me as the whole house shook. What have I become? What have they become? Who were we? Elainy Saphrano, a timid girl with a heart of gold but a mouth of fire.

Alessa Rossi: She knows the true meaning of 'Elegance with Expense.' The consequences, the abandonment, the pain, and suffering, she had been through it all. Within her weakness, she found courage, persistently offering a brilliant bright light, pushing aside her wounded frame to help others. It was a favoured belief that the young teenager would deteriorate at such a young age, but that only strengthened her, the doubts, lies and abuse only made her stronger. Her fear was never apparent, with the exception of her brothers, her family scouting into her dark past...

[Completed] There's three of us. Triplets. We all have each other's backs. There's me, Maeve. The one with red eyes. People call me a murder. Satan. Evil. Anything really. All I cared about was not them. Certainly not them. Those people didn't matter to me. What mattered was my other two siblings. Everything I have ever done, was for them. Even if they don't realize it. Even if they think I was the big bad monster. To the world, I was a cold heartless monster but to my siblings? I was loving sister. I was there if one of them have a nightmare. I'm there for them. There's Damien. The oldest out of us. He's the one with white eyes. The one who people who also call Satan and evil and all of that bullshit. You ever wonder if those goddamn bullies got tired of bullying other people? I do. Not the point, stay focused Maeve. What was I saying? Oh right, Damien. He likes cars. Building, tearing them apart, spray painting them, anything about cars. Then there's Angel. Sweet, sweet Angel. She's the youngest out of the group. She has blue eyes, different from us. She's the lucky one, per say. The one who doesn't get bulled. She has the personality like a five year old but we love her to pieces. Me and Damien try to protect her against the evil's of the world. She shouldn't go through that like we did. At least she has a normal childhood, or some part of normal. We didn't have the best childhood growing up. Well, me and Damien didn't. Mother gave Angel the best childhood she ever wanted. Sometimes, only sometimes when she was drunk or whatever with her stupid boyfriend did she punish Angel. That was once every blue moon. She was convinced me and Damien had Satan in us. While Angel, well she thought that Angel was an angel from Heaven. Now, let me stop rambling. This story will be an emotional roller coaster. Especially since we get sent to live with our older half-brothers. Mentions of self-harm, abuse, rape, miscarriage, violence, cursing, suicide attempts.
