Gratuitous picture of yourself

I. HAVE. BEEN. ON. TUMBLR. FOR. TWO. YEARS. AND. I. NEVER. FIGURED. OUT. WHAT. THAT. MEANT. OH. MY. GOODNESS.

*pats Autumn's head*

Kensia, a girl who just turned eighteen and found out that she wasn't normal like she thought she was and worse she found out that she wasn't even human. She found out that she was a wailing women, otherwise known as a banshee. A girl who screams just before someone dies.
As Kensia uncovers the secrets of her true identity she finds out that she is being hunted, by some kind of coven of sorts. She doesn't know why there after her, but a strange boy who happens to be part of that coven may lead her to the answers to her questions. But can she trust him? He says he wants to help, but is that really what he wants or does he have some dark alternative motive?
I'm not sure if this is any good or if that's exactly how the plots going to be. I kind of just thought of it last night before I went to bed. So please tell me what you think and I'll work from there.

I WOULD TOTALLY READ THAT! I think it's a great idea! Just make sure the romance that I'm assuming will happen between the guy and the banshee isn't too cliche and you should be good!

Guy: I love you.
Girl: *shrieks*
Guy: Whaaaaaat?
Girl: Sorry, there goes another one.

Thank you. :)"
No problem!

Guy: I love you.
Girl: *shrieks*
Guy: Whaaaaaat?
Girl: Sorry, there goes another one."
*IS CONFUSED*.

Guy: I love you.

Ohmigod hahahahahahahahahahaa

The girl is a banshee. She screams when someone dies. Think about it."
OHHHHH OH GOSH HAHAHAAHAHAHA.

Okay, so this is how I decided to start my story. What do you think so far? Should I start it differently or is this okay?

Chapter one
“I already told you I don’t know why I was screaming” Kensia said for about the fifth time that day.
Dr. Frankferd sighed softly, “Were you scared, or perhaps you saw something.” he said.
“No I wasn’t scared and no I didn’t see anything.” Kensia said, “I was just having a good time with my friends, hanging out at the beach. Then suddenly I started scream for no reason. Then the next thing I know I’m waking up in the hospital with a doctor telling me that I have a concussion. Apparently when I finished screaming I passed out and hit my head on a log or something.” she said a bit irritably.
Dr. Frankferd nodded slightly, and he must have noted her irritation because he went on to say, “I know this must be frustrating, but maybe it’ll help if you play over the whole night for me. So that we’ll both get a better understanding of what happened.” he said.
“I already went over it with the police” Kensia said.

Is it bad that I kind of want her to scream and him to be the one that dies
Like yes good couple and then nO WHAT JUST HAPPENED

Guy: I love you.
Girl: *shrieks*
Guy: Whaaaaaat?
Girl: Sor..."
I WANT THAT TOO.

Hi Kensia! I think the start of your story is just fine! But I have a question though, why would Kensia be talking to the police, just because she was screaming? I think that you are trying to build up suspense, but I recommend that you give us a little more, so that we don't end up confused. :)

The fireflies are in my backyard.
You’re halfway across the world
(and then some)
but you’re in my mind today.
‘Fireflies’ is your favorite song, yet you’ve never seen a real one.
I’d save a few in a jar for you, but they’ll die and I’ll
never pass the airport security check.
I’d take some pictures,
but you could just Google ‘fireflies’ if all you wanted were
images.
It makes me sad,
how nothing makes you happy anymore.
Fireflies blinking in the night,
And in the morning I awoke and saw them dead
on the patio, the porch light on.
I imagine you crying on the other side
of the world
in the study, alone,
your brother upstairs in his bedroom
and your mother downstairs in the kitchen
and your father at work, somewhere,
wearing a tie and a suit and carrying a briefcase
Not knowing
that his son is staying up late at three o’clock in the
morning on the computer,
chatting,
and not knowing that he’s
just as lonely as me.

Dedicated to Talia Joy, who died on July 16, 2013
You will always be remembered.
A knock at the door
A mother goes to answer
Expecting to see a person
But instead a box..."
RIP Talia. I love how innocent "Do you think they sent me a star?" sounds. I'm going to write something about #TaliasBucketList or #TaliasAngels when I have time.
