Tao
She thinks its a game, but its not, she thinks she's in control, but she's not.
And it's so aggravating, for me to watch.
Why can't she see the depth to this.
She doesn't understand it all, in fact she doesn't understand any of it.
There are so many things she doesn't know....... Like what happened on the Tail, the night Mele was found on top, of the upside down boat, because as far as I'm concerned our parents aren't dead, and neither is our brother. If they were they would be here.......and they're not.
Mele
These last past days have been torture, Blake and Cale haven't let me out of there sights. They won't even say why!
What do they think I'm going to do?
"Mele, where are you?" I hear Blake call in a sing song voice.
I growl at there smartness; how did they know I would come here?
"Come on Mele, this isn't funny!"
Cale says attempting to make me come down.
I then hear someone shriek, "Mele, get down this instant! Don't you know how much danger your putting yourself into!" I roll my eyes at Meredith's frantic tone, All she's concerned about is the TSCH's reputation. "Come on Mele, get down" I hear one of the carers say.
Looking down I realise how far the ground is and I have to tell you, I feel pretty amazing standing on here, like a bird ready to take off.
"What's all the fuss about?" I hear Filiki say.
"MELE'S ON THE ROOF!" they shout at him.
I laugh at them but then start to sob, the pain is all too much to bear, and it's no use, no matter how hard I try to stop myself from remembering, I will always remember, but I will never tell.
I look out at the sea which seems so close yet so far away.
The tears I've been holding back for this particular moment come flooding out, and I suddenly feel more close to death than I ever have.......and nobody can tell me other wise, because life without my siblings would be hell, and it is. I just wish some how life would change into a fairy tale like the ones Selei used to read me.
I guess it never will be my turn, to change from rags to riches, and mermaid to human.
I guess............. I guess my life isn't worth.......living. I gasp at the realisation and sit down abruptly, the tears suddenly stop, because those words were so ALIVE, yet it was talking about death.
I smile to myself and walk to the edge of the 4 storey building, looking around at my surroundings.
They won't miss me, no one will, after all the only person that cared was Selei, Tao was never around, mother swam off with father, Jid'e never was one for a good heart to heart.
It was always Selei.
So I was doing this, for Selei. And although I can hear the shouts of the people, I won't listen to them, they can't stop me, I am my mothers daughter, I am a SHAPESHIFTER.
And it was on the word that it was my time, to jump.
I got ready, bending down but then a soft voice whispered in my ear.
"Not yet Mele, now isn't the time"
