Strange kanji-marking demonic ninjas or Oni. Werewolves. Elemental Kitsunes. And then there's Banshees, which I am one of, I never knew I was until I was 15, and boy, I was surprised, I screamed. Broke 3 windows. Apparently, Banshee blood runs through my family. Being a banshee is the most hardest thing I ever have to go through, I have to ignore the crazy voices and sounds, and try not to scream. I wish something could make it easier.

But when her Mother sends her and her sisters to high school for the first time--- everything changes. Now Lily is forced to defend herself in a new world of fear, mystery and pain. And her only ally is a masked stranger she knows nothing about. ... or does she? ~~~ Sneak Peek :) My heart beat was like a pounding drum. I could feel his stare, but I couldn't see his eyes. It annoyed me so much. I imagined him taking off my mask and realizing I was lying. What if he blamed me? What if he didn't want to see me again? As Blade walked out of the room so effortlessly, I found myself trying to stop myself from ripping off his mask. This feeling was indescribable. I had never felt it before. Have you ever felt such a magnetic pull to someone that you couldn't stop looking at them? That whenever they walking into a room you felt like you couldn't breath? That if you did you wouldn't be able to control yourself anymore? ~~~ Editing in progress. Previously titled 'Lily'. ~~~ #287 in teenfiction - Feb. 11, 2020Complete
