𝓑anshee: A Banshee is said to be a supernatural being in Irish legend. Her scream is believed to be an omen of death. The scream, also called a caoine—meaning keening—is a warning of an imminent passing. Banshees are special human women with the supernatural power to sense or predict when someone is about to die. As a result, they are seen as harbingers of death, often referred to as the Wailing Woman.
By that night, Evee had read the wiki page a million times. No matter how often she skimmed it, clicked through other articles, or reread the folklore—it still made no sense. Every single source said something different. A thousand clashing myths, scattered across cultures, all contradicting one another.
She didn't know what to believe. Or how to believe any of it.
She'd barely slept. Fell asleep too late, woke up too early—a brutal combination. Her head pounded. Her body felt heavy. But her mind was still spinning.
"Harbingers of death," she muttered to herself, staring at the glowing screen of her phone. She let out a hollow laugh. "Well, doesn't that sound fun."
Evee sat hunched on the edge of her bed, her arms wrapped tightly around her knees. Her room felt colder than usual, like even the air had decided to keep its distance from her. The weight of last night's revelations still clung to her chest like heavy smoke. No matter how many deep breaths she took, she couldn't seem to find any air.
