Chapter 1

April 22, 2005

"My name Liam!" The slightly taller was sat opposite the boy, who's name he was yet to learn, in the bathroom, his mum running the bath for the boy. The poor toddler hadn't any clothes, and was covered in sand.

"Llliii" the blue eyed boy repeated, looking up at him and squealing.

"What's your name?" Liam smiles, crossing his legs.

"Love, I don't think he has a name." Karen said, kneeling down next to the two boys, watching Liam gasp and put his small pale hands over his mouth.

"No name! Oh no!" The boy shook his head.
"Mummy name?" He asks whilst pointing to him.

"Of course, he does need a name, doesn't he?" She smiled her her son, before looking to the other boy.

"Jake?" She spoke, causing him to scrunch up his nose.

"Lewis?" Again, he scrunched up his nose.

"Louis... what about Louis?" Karen asked and he looked up, giggling

Liam nodded "looou!" He laughs.

"Then it's settled. Louis." She smiles

"Are you ready for a bath, louis?" Karen asked, watching as Liam stood up and clapped, and Louis nodded eagerly

Karen smiled, nodding. She lifted Louis in, watching the boy laugh, and splash, his face lighting up with happiness.

Karen watched Louis closely, gasping in shock. Liam's eyes were glued to louis, watching in astonishment.

His legs were being swallowed up by blue scales that matched his eyes, blue shimmering into green in the sunlight.

"Mummy! Lou a fish!" Liam gasped, reaching down into the water, running his small hand down louis bottom half, where his legs once where.

"Yes... I see that." Karen looked at the boy in shock, then down to Liam.

"Liam, baby, you can't tell anyone about this, okay?" She asks her son, who smiled and nods.

Karen didn't want anyone to know, who knows where Louis would then end up.

They kept louis.

They treat him like any normal boy.

They just have to hide his secret.
