       The happy couple arrived to the hospital ready for their child to be born. They were there for hours before the child finally arrived. It was at this point that the couple finally relaxed. But relaxation would soon end, as their child's wails could be heard through out the whole building. As the child was taken to be cleaned up the mother was being tended to by the doctors as there were a few complications during the delivery of the child. A nurse approached the new father to ask for his son's name.

"Chenle, his name is Chenle" He responded happily, although he did have one concern. "Can you tell me if it's normal for a new born to scream so much and so loudly right after birth?" The nurse explained that normal human children usually  don't, and they are doing everything to find out what was wrong with the child.

        An hour after the birth of Chenle and he was still screaming, it was getting to the point that the new father was almost deaf. Another half an hour later the doctor in charge of his wife returned. The doctor sadly didn't some bearing good news, his wife had just passed away due to the complications that occurred during birth. As the doctor said this the new born finally stopped his yelling. The doctors still couldn't explain it, that was until the new born opened his eyes. Instead of seeing normal eyes they were greeted with those of Abnormality. Where his eyes should have been white, they were black and his iris was completely white.

       Upon further examination the doctors concluded that the infant was a banshee born to two human parents, and his loud wails were a warning signaling the death of his mother. Unable to handle the new circumstances, the father decided to send the baby away. There was no way he would raise a monster like the one he had. So within a week of his birth the young banshee was sent far away to live in the middle of a forest in a house for Abnormals. He would never know his parents or what occurred on the day of his birth.
