The Live of an Outsider

Chapter 1

16 years ago a baby was born. On december 17 1998 to be exact. The baby was named Charlie, she had a sister from 3 years older named Mae. Her mom was named Ili and her dad was called Raine. She was born in The Netherlands and still lives there.

Her early live was amazing as a kid. She had a big sister to play with, and get pulled by, bitten by, just caused pain by, but that was sister play.

When she was 4 she went to school and got amazing friends, but she found out she had something weird about her. She asked her mommy and daddy what it was that made her different from the other children.

"Dear Charlie, we wanted to tell you this when you asked yourself, so now is the time," her mom started, "And when you have any sort of questions just ask your dad and me okay?"

charlie only nodded to let her mom talk on, she wanted to know.

"Well, Charlie dear, you know your sister is different too, right? You know me and daddy are different, right?" Charlie nodded to both.

"That is because we are all not normal people, mommy is a Banshee, daddy is a Merman and your sister Mae is a Banshee as well. Do you understand what those are, sweetheart?"

"No mommy, what is a Banshee?"

"A Banshee is a sort of fairy, but we notice when someone is about to die. We don't have wings like a fairy, but your sister and I do both have white hair. When we notice someone will die we will either sing or scream, I for instance scream, maybe your sister will too or maybe she'll sing the song of the Banshee. Is it clear for you know, darling?"

"Yes mommy, and I love you and sissy's hair." Charlie answered with a smile. "But what is daddy again?"

"Daddy is a Merman. When your dad touches water his legs turn into a tail, the tail of a fish. When he is out of the water his legs still feel like it has scales on it, it feels kind of dry when you touch it. That's why your daddy is so good at swimming." Ili said with a grin.

Charlie smiled with her and nodded to her mom.

"So you are a Banshee, Mae is a Banshee, daddy is a Merman. But what am I?"

"Well, you're really special. You're a mix of me and daddy, that's why you have some white streaks of hair but also Always dry legs," Ili told her, touching her legs. "It is very special and happens rarely, but that makes you really special as well. You are a Banshee and a Mermaid." Ili said with a smile, "But don't tell the people in your class, Charlie. They can't know, it is our little secret, okay?"

Charlie nodded eagerly and hugged her mom very thight.

And that is where her life as an outsider starts.
