Chapter 1: Middle Child

The year was 2014. A married couple, who had an eight year old daughter and a one year old son, heard sounds that were a lot like voices in their walls. Rather than call an exterminator, they opened up part of the walls out of curiosity. Inside, there were three tiny creatures that looked to be human, except they were each less than five inches tall, as well as having mouse ears, wolf tails, dragonfly wings, and antennae that looked like feathers. The two larger ones were dead and riddled with bullet holes that were huge to them but normal size to a human, and when Zander Reman, the father of then one child, picked up one of the bodies, he realized the bullets went out the other side of the bodies. Martha Reman, his wife, saw that too.

The only one alive was a two year old girl, and as she pushed her blankets covering her body away, they realized that she was so tiny that any normal human at least as old as a toddler could eat her. They shuddered at the thought, trying to comfort her as she started crying, which they could hear like a normal baby crying despite her size. Although they felt the law would not be kind to them, they felt compelled to raise her as another child. The name they came up with for her was Caly. Zander said, Teeny tiny baby, you are now Caly Reman.

Martha placed her hand out, and the child now known as Caly walked onto it while making gibberish vocalizations. The two humans realized she couldn’t speak yet, but they decided take her to their room, where they would watch over her until she was independent.

Caly’s new parents kept her inside for her early life. She was fond of being in her parents’ hands or pockets, feeling safe there. She was home schooled for years because her new parents feared she’d be kidnapped or killed if she went to a public school. She grew up fast, but once they figured out how old she was, she was the middle sibling to an older sister, Kit Reman, and a younger brother, Magnus Reman. He was born before she was discovered, but she was still older than him.

Kit learned how to make doll clothes because she wanted to help out her little sister. She made a blue dress with long sleeves, a long skirt that went down to her ankles, with some red details on the top
