Zenia wasn't your average 18 year old. For the first 17 years of her life she was locked up, hidden from the world, and didn't know anything except for her own name. She couldn't, talk, write, read or understand anything.
Zenia escaped from her prison, and was left to wander the streets of London, alone. She observed people all day long, just watching. She learned to beg, and managed to survive for about a year, until she found it.
What would you do if you were a stranger in the world and found something that seemed as strange as yourself? Zenia just could resist the chance to befriend this strange thing.
But it was a mistake.
Never befriend a demon.
