The name is Kaede. Mari Kaede.

I used to live a fairly normal live. Well. Just about as normal as live can be when your the "odd one out"

"What do you mean?" you might ask.

Its the way I look. I mean, having bright purple eyes isn't exactly natural is it?

Don't let me forget my hair. Its wavy, curly, frizzy. And its color. Its a light, reddish, goldish brown. Not as "unnatural" as my eyes, but still, not exactly normal either.

And the last thing is that I can see ghosts. Souls if you want to get technical. When I was younger, I couldn't even tell them apart from people. Not that they affected me in any way.

I live alone. Both my parent violently murdered by some creature. No, not a creature. A monster. I lived in regret. Always thinking about ways I could have saved them. Replaying it in my mind. over and over. All of my siblings have moved away and started families. I was alone.

That is, until he came.

A/N I AM REALLY BAD AT WRITING! So, yeah... sorry. This is my first time writing something, so I hope you like it! Btw, sorry it was so short. I'm probably going to have really short chapters, but I will upload as often as I can!
