And so begins the prequel! :D

A little note to those who haven't read my first story (The Dark Lord's Last Hope), it's going to tie in a lot with that plot. You might want to read it before going into this one, but I want to make the stories interchangeable, so that which ever you read first it doesn't matter. So basically…roll with me, people. :P

And to those who have read my other story…HI! You'll find a few similarities here, the narration and some of the scenarios that were mentioned randomly throughout my first story.

The chapters will start out short, and will gradually become longer.

Review please?

CHAPTER 1

I have worn a mask my entire life, hiding from the world my origins and what I am capable of…

Who I truly am…is unknown by many and now I feel that I must come clean and show everything before it is too late…

I was born to a banshee and a man with strange abilities on an unusually cold May morning. When I was born, my parents knew what I was…the strangest combination of the two of them. I bore a strong physical resemblance to my mother, though I lacked the green pigmentation and instead had the skin of my father, as well as his light hazel eyes.

The chaos had truly began when I was merely a few weeks old, the house began to shake violently in the middle of the night and my screams had knocked out my father a few times. My mother was the only one immune to my 'cries from hell' as my father had once put it, after all, I had inherited that from her too.

I am a monster, born of monsters.

When I was old enough to walk and talk, I was told instantly to hide my powers. What my father and I were, it was frowned upon by wizarding society…I knew that from an early age…but there was something else…something that further forced us to hide.

My name is Audrey Fiona Dalio, and this is the truth.
