As a three-year-old Alyson's parents were killed by an unknown fire, the only thing capable of killing a vampire and his wife. However, Aly somehow was miraculously saved by an unknown figure, but she could never remember, and started to wonder if she ever would.

At six years old, Alyson  was about to leave the orphanage she lived at. The care-taker, Mrs. Morelli, basically let Aly do whatever she wanted, but gave her rules: as long as she had her scream phone with her at all times and stuck to her curfew around.

By the age of seven, Aly  almost gave up on getting adopted, but Mrs. Morelli assured her that one day, Aly would be adopted.
