So you guys I haven't written something and posted it online for a long time. I'm kind up in the air about how I feel about this one. If you guys could read it and give me some feedback that would be nice. Postive and negative is welcome. I have great idea where I want to go with this but I'm not liking how I started off with this so far.
Lordina had a lovely voice just like all her sisters. Her sisters would use their voices to seduce men into the seas and kill them. They lived near a small island off the coast of South Africa. Lordina unlike her sisters, for some reason couldnt turn into her beast form so she never really killed a man. Yet, she was fascinated with humans in general. Yes we all know this clique story. She falls in love with a man but cant be with one but finds an old witch doctor to fix her problem but owes her something in return. But our story isnt about her; its about her granddaughter and her journey to figure out what she is.
************************************************************************
Christie waited impatiently for Max to come. He said he would here an hour ago and he didnt even call. Maybe they were over. I wasted what, months of her life with this guy and hes gonna end it like this? Christie thought nervously.
Can we peees leave Christie? Sadira whined. Her nose was beginning to run and her eyes were getting puffy.
No Christie said annoyed.
Whhhhhhy? Dira said whipping her nose.
Christie pulled a Kleenex from her purse and whipped Diras nose. The poor girl seemed to be having allergy problems to something and it was the spring was almost over. Her puffy eyes and runny nose should have been gone by now. Christie couldnt help but pity her little sister. By the age of 6 she had pop bottle glasses that made her already big eyes look 10 xs bigger. Her shoes never seemed to be tied and her clothes never seemed to fit. Her allergies just made her seem more of a freak.
Because Im waiting for someone Christie said. Why dont you go over there on the monkey bars or something? She said trying to get Dira to go away.
But I wanna go home. Erin said that I shouldnt be outside right now, anyway the little girl whined.
Every now and then random men would take a long hard glaze at Christie and move on. When Christie was 13 it bother her but by the time she turned 15 she liked the attention.
Well leave in a little bit. Okay? Im just waiting for this person Christie said looking around. So go have some fun while I wait Christie said.
Instead of running off Sadira sat next to Christie on the bench.
Who are you waiting for? she asked innocently.
None of your business
But I wanna know
Well I dont want you to know
Diras nose began to run again. She wiped it with her sleeve.
Why do you always do that? I have tissues! Christie said disgusted. Christie worried that her little sister would become so klutzy freak that would have no friends. She already seemed to have gotten the bad end of the gene pool. She felt kind of guilty she got all the good qualities of the family. She had the soft face, beautiful skin, and a amazing body with no exercise old at the age of 16, but she never looked a thing like Sadira at 6. She was kind of frumpy and never had reason to smile. She got picked on a lot and had a horrible set of teeth. The only good thing Dira had going for her was that she was pretty smart.
I dunno Sadira said innocently kicking her feet Guess what Christie
What? Christie said annoyed.
My birthday is next month and I already know what Im gonna wish for on my birthday candles she said snorting her snot.
Youre not supposed to tell Christie said rolling her eyes. Christie suspected that Dira was planning on telling her what she was wishing for asking for approval.
But you wont tell anyone so it wont count. Can I tell you?
Sure, knock yourself out she said sarcastically
Im gonna wish that I look more like you. If I look like you I wouldnt get picked on, people would like me more Dira said looking down, kicking her feet again.
Dira you should be happy the way you look One day youll probably even be prettier than me. Everyone loves you the way you are. Whyd you want to look like me anyway? All you get is unwanted attention and a lousy boyfriend Christie said partially hoping for the truth. Maybe just maybe Dira was a ugly duckling soon to hatch. Christie lied all the time but this time she was actually hoping for the truth.
I think that if I look like-Dira started but was cut off by a harsh voice.
Uh Christie... Max gruffed.
Max!!!!!!! I thought you stood me up! Christie got up and hugged him but he edged her off. Dira looked at the couple confused.
Yeah, ummm you wanted to talk He said uninterested not looking at her but looking at Dira. Why is she here? he asked.
Im stuck babysitting. Dira go on the monkey bars or something She ordered.
Dira looked sad but walked away slowly.
Whats up wit that kid? Should she even be outside? He asked.
Shell be fine. But shes not what where here to talk about Christie said looking him in the eyes but he seem to avert her gaze. Whats youre problem? Christie said still trying to get him to look at her.
I dunno why dont you tell me yours? He said annoyed sitting down.
I dont have the problem you wont talk to me She said looking down at him.
Dont try to pull that this is my fault youre the one whos always lying Max said getting angry.
I have never lied to you Christie said which was lie. She lied about a lot of things lately. For the past few weeks Max wasnt the only person she kissed. She also lied to her momma about what she had been doing with people like Max.
Christie sat next to Max but he scooted from her.
Christie I know youre lying he said.
Christie reached for his hand but he pulled away. Dont touch me he growled.
So, are we over?
Hell yes! Why would you even question it? he said
So who told you? She said
I didnt need anyone to tell me when I saw you he said.
Well I made a mistake she said quietly.
Well you made the wrong one. So dont call me, and dont talk to me. You can keep all the things I gave you. I dont want them back he said.
Cant I get one more chance? She said etching closer to him whispering in his ear.
No, didnt I say dont touch me?! What is your problem? Just because youre pretty you think you can get away with kissing up on me and every other guy in the city?! He said getting up and pushing her.
Christie couldnt believe. She was getting dumped. She wasnt the one doing the dumping. She never thought it would come like this. She and Max had this conversation many times but she never thought it would have gone this far.
He walked away. Christie watched flabbergasted.
I hate you! she yelled.
He flicked her off.
Christie watched him walk away and began to cry. Maybe she should have been a good girl and never kissed Eric, Rio, and Jonathan. But it felt so good. The attention felt so good, that touch they all had felt good. Maybe too good.
Dira sat on the edge of the sandbox and looked at the long scratch on her hand. While she was on the swing she fell off. The scratch wasnt fully bleeding but it had specks of blood throughout the incision. Christie was on the bench and looked like she was crying. Dira sat and waited for Christie to stop crying. When Christie was crying she didnt like to be bother she got kind of vicious. The Max boy was walked past and quickly looked at her and shook his head. Dira whipped her nose with her sleeve.

Christie why are you late? Whereve youve been? her father yelled as soon as she and Dira came through the door.
I told Sadira to the park because she begged me to go She lied. Dira did not oblige even though she begged 20 times to go home.
Its 9:30! And youre telling me that you spent all that time at the park? He quizzed her.
Yes she said starting for the steps.
Sadira watched as her father looked dumbfounded as her sister seemed to end the conversation.
Where are you going? This conversation isnt over! He yelled
Where does it look like Im going? To Bed. Im not hungry she said stopping rolling her eyes.
Her dark brown eyes seemed to have on her father where he never did have control over the situation. Much like her mother before they were married.
I just put Sadira in bed Erin said to her husband. I dont know what were going to do with Christie. She seems to get worse everyday she sighed sitting down.
Ill deal with her Gerald told Erin. Though in reality Christies independence was growing too much for him to handle. He couldnt even think of a good punishment for her. He worried that Christies bad habits would rub off onto Sadira. Yet everyday Sadira remained the awkward little girl that she was. He hoped that she stayed that way forever. With Christies constant hormonal rebellions and disrespect maybe marrying Erin wasnt such a good idea. Sadira didnt give her any problems but Christie on the other hand was a wild cannon. Sometimes he wished that Alena never died she proably would have been able to handle it.
Dont worry about it Gerald, things will get better Erin whispered into his ear kissing him on the cheek.
He didnt say a word.
