My name is Canna. Canna Oversea. I grew up with my mom and dad who are Xavier Oversea and Olivia Oversea. One day my parents got divorced a week after they had a big fight about Daddy wanting to leave. From there I lived with Mum. We had a fun time but it was obvious she was lonely.

When she came home from work, it was a Friday I believe, she came home with a guy. Alonso was his name, Alonso Nesbitt. He said he loved my Mum but he was very mean to her at times. In the end however, he always apologized and the kissed her. Didn't matter how much he hurt her, my mother would forgive him. Things varied from him beating her, to him spending my college fund on beer.

I hated him but accepted it because my mother seemed to be happy. Then one day, when I came home late from school, I walked in to see him standing over my mother. He was holding a knife and she lay there, covered in blood and stab marks. Once he looked at me, I ran.

"They found the creatures that made me!" Andrew shouted. "How much you wanna bet that my mother's a toad?!?! I put five bucks on it!"

"My brother was taken by social services. How did they find him..?" Vivien said to no one in particular.

"I knew that my dads were locked up but I didn't know that she had them entwined around death's finger..." Justin mumbled.

"MY CAT! SHE FOUND MRS. SNUFFLES!" Jordan cried out, tears streaming down his face and snot dribbling out his nose.
