The Smith family was nothing less than an ordinary family, living out their days in the beautiful country that is Canada. Due to her parent's occupation, the family was given the privilege to travel throughout the country, exploring different hidden landscapes they could capture through precise photographs. The sight of her mother crouching with her camera, waiting and waiting waiting for the perfect shot... it was truly inspiring. It filled Juniper with wild dreams of her and Oliver exploring the globe, hunting down landscapes and sights to capture. [break][break]

These quiet times faded into thin air after the twins both turned 11. [break][break]

It all occurred during the long drive home from Yukon. The family lost control of their car and they ended up crashing into oncoming traffic. It was horrendous. Both of her parents ended up dying upon impact. Juniper likes to think that she died along with them that day. [break][break]

After the crash, the three siblings were given to their grandfather. Back when her parents were alive, she remembered him as a benevolent old man, always asking her if she wanted some of his famous hot chocolate. These memories brought hope to her little heart. Unfortunately, all this hope she gathered up deteriorated the moment he began looking towards alcohol for comfort. Every single sip of his vodka would turn the once kind old man into a hollering beast, ready to pound them with hurtful words that would leave them crying throughout the night. Every night left Juniper full of rage. Why was he able to treat them like this? Why wouldn't anyone stop him? The only way she was able to contain her frustration with the situation was to drag out her grandfather's old steel bat, go outside, and beat the trees with it. Each swing would release an unholy amount of pent up anger and bitterness. [break][break]

Eventually, the constant string of abuse pushed the oldest sibling towards running away. Without Juniper or even Oliver. This meant two things: [break]
1.) He blatantly abandoned them [break]
2.) The slur of harmful words and blows were going to be solely directed towards the twins now.[break][break]

It wasn’t long until Oliver mentioned: It’s him or us, I choose us. They soon began laying out plans of murdering their grandfather then fleeing Canada. Juniper would always think up of radical ideas of her killing him with a butter knife, or her choking him to death. Oliver was a bit more realistic with his plans. In the end, they both did agree that it would be best for Juniper to be the one to carry out the attack. She was stronger than her brother, and she was a female. It was obvious that the system would be way easier on her than it would be on him. Besides, Juniper couldn't stand the idea of watching her brother wield any sort of weapon. [break][break]

Before any sort of plan could even carry through, their grandfather had died. It was a shame, though. Juniper would've loved to kill that nasty old man. The twins soon became aware of another major problem. Their family was planning on splitting them up. The two of them quickly came to the agreement that the only way they could stay together was to runaway. So they did just that. The two managed to stay off the grid for about 3 or 4 months before they were eventually caught off the highway. [break][break]

They found themselves in some sort of brawl with the officers. Juniper ended up almost killing one of them with her lucky steel bat (she kept it from her grandfather's place) and Oliver managed to injured another one. Surprise, surprise, this skirmish ended with the two of them being sent off to Kessho Reform Academy.
