AN: this the idea of this character comes from Norwegian folklore of nøkken. he is called nøkken he's a shape shifting water spirit that make people drown in his pond by putting them in a trance with his music. btw the picture i made of his is different from the others because he looks awesome in it.

Nøkken

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

''nøkken you need to go to school its the only way to actually get a job." my adopted mom said. she was a huldra, there mostly woman that are beautiful and put men in trances and make them love them. then afterwards it up to the huldra weather or not to let go of them or not and if they are freed they're constantly cursed with the temptation to return to her.

"But whyyy mom school sucks and I'm used to dead drowning people. how am I supposed to get used to living, breathing humans? And won't I need a NORMAL name? I'm sure someone has heard of nøkken." I replied. she gave me an thats-not-gonna-work-with-me look with a Hand on her hips.

" Your going to school! and I guess your names mark." she said, and I gave her an insane look.

"Ha your joking, mark is NOT gonna be my name it'll be.......Logan." I decided and then turned to my human form.

"Is this good?" I asked holding my arms out to the side of me to present myself.

"That's perfect!" she said then shooed me off so she could change. She changed her clothes into modern ones and tucked her tail away. huldra look pretty much human except for there cow tail. after she changed we headed to a school one called white wood academy.

"What a lame school name." I muttered and my mother turned and gave me an irritated look.

" stop complain your not 3" she scolded, an anger mark on her head. she then turned around and continued to lead the way to school. i looked around as we walked with my arms crossed behind my head. i noticed some humans walking and an idea popped in my head.

" hehe" i snickered and stuck away from my mom and stood infront of the people they gave me a weird look, i then closed my eyes and reopened then, now my eyes were glowing red. the people screamed and ran away, i turned my eyes back to normals, then busted out laughing. i noticed my mom tapping her foot with her arms crossed looked over at me.

" come on mom you have to admit that was funny." i stated walking over to her, we continued to head to school. we entered the school and went into the principles office.

" hello how can i help you?" the lady at the desk asked, my mom told her that she wished to enroll me. the lady lead us to the prinicples office.

"welcome miss.." the principle started.

" m-mary, mary skylar!" my mom blurted making up a normal name right that second.

" well welcome miss skylar, you wish to enroll a student?" the principle asked, and my mother nodded.

" this is my son logan skylar." my mother introduce and the principle nodded a greeting and grabbed enrollment forms. the principle handed my mother the enrollment forms and we sat down will my mother filled out the papers. after the papers where done mother handed the principle the enrollment forms and the principle told us that would start school tomarrow.

" are you ready for your first day of school?" mother asked excitedly. i gave her an expressionless face and she pouted.

" come on your gonna love it." she reasured.

" yay school tomarrow so exciting." i stated sarcastically. shaking my hands around pretend like i liked school.

" come on nø-logan dont be sarcastic, you really will like it." my mother reasured.

"haha like i'd ever want to go to school i already know all of it anyways."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the next day i was rudely awoken from my sleep by my mom who was throwing rocks into my pond. those big rocks made a lots of noise splashing in the water above me.

" what what!" i growled after reaching the surface of the pond and standing on top of it. i rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and mymother gave me a stern look.

" you have school so get dress and change into your human form." my mother ordered and i sgined in irritation.

" damn i forgot about school. damn it i'm to tired for this crap."

after i changed to my human form and got dressed, i made sure that i remembered to change my eye color so that they were not glowing. once i got to school i pulled out my schedule i got yesterday and walked to wherei thought my class would be. i sighed in irratation, while rubbing the back of my neck, i was looking at the ground and accidentally ran into someone.

" oh uh... sorry" i said, i then noticed i ran into a girl. she had blonde hair in 2 braids one blue eye the other white.

" is she...blind."

her white eye had no life reflecting in it, different from those with natural white eyes.

"its ... ok" she muttered emotionlessly. i pick up the stuff she dropped and handed it back to her then began to walk away be fore i stopped and looked at her slowly walk away.

" im logan." i whisper. i was gonna walk away but i suddenly felt an urge to get to know her.

" hey uh my named logan by the way!" i shout, but she didn't react even though i knew she could hear me from this distance. i run over to her and stop infront of her. " hey uh did you hear me? i said my names logan....whats uh. yours?" i ask stratching the back of my neck.

" oh i didn't hear you because i'm deaf, i have to read your lips to understand you. nice to meet you logan i'm ferris." she said, her voice being a dead tone, the kind that didn't have emotion, but its not like she can control it she can't hear herself speak. i notice people walking by us and they all look at her with a somewhat scared look.

" why do they look at her like that?" i wondered, i noticed some other people giving her a scared look, when they noticed me talking to her they gave me a crazy look.

" why is everyone looking at you like there scared of you?" i asked, she simply shrugged.

" i guess they think in scary cause my eye and i can bet i sound like a emotionless murderer." she answered, not a glimpse of emotion shown on her face. it's sad that they treat her like that just because she is deaf and can't see out of one eye. the bell then rings and i hurry off to class i look back at ferris again and see her simply walk slowly to class. as i head to class i'm stopped by a familiar figure.

" mom..." i trail off.

" is this.... real? is nøkken ACTUALLY sad?" she whispers looking me in the eye.

" i've never seen you sad nøkken, this isn't natural for you. why are you upset?" she asked worried lifting my chin so that i'm not starring at the floor.

" could it be that you feel sorry for that human you where talking to?" she asked in a quiet voice.

" so you were watching me." i stated quietly.

" yes i didn't want anything to happen to you" she replied.

" now... why are you sad for a mear human?" she asked a little sternness in her voice.

" i may have drowned humans all my life but i can still feel sorry for the disabled ones, for the ones forced to live differently cause they fall into the 3% of kids born with something wrong with them." i answered.

" why?" she muttered simply.

" are you asking why i feel sorry for a human? because she's mistreated just because she's different. if you haven't forgotten i was always made fun of as a kid by the other creatures for being the only creature like me." i stated sternly, little angery.

" she's already got enough problems with learning how to go about a normal school without being able to hear. she has to struggle reading the lips of her teacher, and im pretty sure the teacher's not gonna stand still the entire class for her to read lips so she probably has a hard time learning. if i were her i'd won't want to go to a deaf school either cause then i would admit to being different, no body wants to be different everyone just wants to fit in." i answered her.

" now if you'll excuse me i have class." i continued, then walked off towards my class.

~~~~~~timeskip~~~~~~~~~~~

school was over in a flash i quickly got out of the school, i settled in the back behind the school and decided to play my violin, but of course i forgot my music puts people who hear it into trances. soon i had a hoard of people around me acting like zombies. i notice ferris following one of the people comming back here, but her eye's arn't glowing red like the others that are in a trance, she wasn't walking like a zombie either. i couldn't understand why she wasn't in a trance but then it came to me.

" wait she's deaf so she can't hear my music which makes her imune to my power."

"oh logan... uh why are all theses people crowded around you and acting weird?" she asked in her quiet voice. i opened my mouth to speak but she cut me off.

" know what never mind i don't know why there acting weird, but your violin music is beautiful." she stated, i smiled at her complement but then it hit me.

" wait but your deaf so how can you say it's beautiful if you can't hear it?" i asked jumping off of the metal rail i was standing so perfectly balanced on.i landed infront of her and put my violin in its case.

" because blind people who are also deaf have a way of seeing the beautiful music." she replied, i couldn't understand what she ment by that so i questioned further.

" how can you 'see' music?" i asked confused.

" simple i may be blind in one eye, but your music has a color a beautiful bright red." she answered, i still couldn't understand what she ment.

" how?" was all i managed to say.

" the color is as beautiful as where it comes from." she replied.

" what do you mean by 'where it comes from'?" i questioned.

" everything has a color, some are beautiful and bright some are dull and ugly." she answered.

" the colors don't nessesarely mean that the outer appearence is beautiful or ugly it can also mean the way a person looks on the inside." she continued.

"what do you mean?" i asked.

" i mean if the person is beautiful on the inside... kind they're light can be beautiful too. and yours is that beautiful, but there is also a slight darkness to it, a somewhat sad or lonely darkness to it.

" does she mean she can see that i'm lonely and sad from my light? how can she tell how i'm feeling?"

" i can tell that your feel loneliness and saddness, but your heart doesn't wants to let it show, so i wont push you to tell me, and i mean you just met me so i can't expect you to want to share that kind of stuff with a stranger." she stated, just then i realized all the people left.

" i guess i didn't notice them leave after they were let out of there trance."

" well it's getting late so we should head home." i stated, noticing the sky was now an orange and golden color. weboth head our seperate ways and go to sleep.

the next day i woke up and headed to school like it was a normal routine. mother gave he a crazy look because i gave no objection to going to school. i didn't mind school now because i have a new desire to have a friend; a friend i can trust with knowing the truth about me. when i walked into the school doors i couldn't help but over hear a group of girls gossiping.

" omg i heard that people have been going missing and everytime people go missings theres reports of a violin playing. " one of the girls whispered.

" omg thats horrible do you think it could be nøkken?" she other asked.

" you mean the legendary lake and swamp moster, that plays his violin and causes people to fall into a trance and drown in his lake?" the first one asked, the second nodded.

" so theres been reports i guess i haven't been doing a good job at playing long enough for everyone who is in the trance to drown."

i notice ferris walking in the halls slowly like she did yesterday and i run to catch up to her i open my mouth to speak to her behind but i remembered her being deaf so i stop infront of her.

" hey." i said waving.

" hey" she replied, still not showing emotion.

" hey i was wondering....do you like... know sign language since... you know" i asked, awkwaardly scratching the bad of my neck trying not to offend her. she simply nodded and walked past me.

" hey wait!" i shout after her but i knew it was pointless to shout. i catch up to her and stop infront of her again.

" i heard you moved. classes is it true?" i asked, she nodded.

" why'd you move classes?" i questioned.

" because i have to change classes when i can't learn " she answered simply.

" so whats your first class now then?" i asked. curious to know the answer.

" mr. baker" she replied, quiet as always.

" lets head there together. thats my first period also." i suggested, she then grabbed ahold of my hand which i wasn't expecting.

" why are you holding my hand?" i asked shocked.

" because we can't 'head' to class together if we get lost in a crowd of zoo animals." she answered simply. i nodded slowly, we began to head to class, it was awkward with everyone giving us a strange look. it bothered me to hold a strangers hand, but she thinks it's the best way to stay together so i guess it's fine, since she's blind and deaf and all.

"stop it!" i scolded myself. i shouldn't treat her special since she's difference she'll just feel like she has no independence. i let go of her hand.

" i think its weird to hold hands since theres not that many people." i stated making sure to step infront of her so she can see my mouth.

" yea your right i'm not 3 anyways." she replied, seeming disinterested in anything i had to say.

" hey do you have a phone number?" i asked curiously. she still didnt show emotion she simply looked at me.

" do you seriously think a deaf girl would have a phone?" she answered.

" but you can have my moms phone number thats how you can contact me." she stated writing it down.

" oh ok." i answered and took the paper and put it in my pocket.

after school we both went home and i decided to invite her to come hangout since i wanted to know more about her. we met at a kiddy park, we sat across from each other at one of the picnic tables.

" why'd you invite me?" she asked, i simply shrugged.

" i guess i just wanted someone to talk to." i answered, she smiled then which made me go wide eyed.

" y-you just smiled!" i said pointing at her, she laughed, a little i could tell she was trying to keep from showing emotion.

" eh well yea your like the first friend-ish person i've ever had so i'm kind of happy." she admitted returning to her normal emotionless self.

"So ferris can you teach me sign language?" I asked her. she simply nodded.

"Why do you want to learn sign language anyways?" she questioned.

"well i want to be able to talk. to you without making you struggle to talk to me." I admitted. I could feel my face flush a little. this is the first time i've ever been kind to a human I guess it feels weird. it's just new, but she's my friend the very first friend that actually accepts me and isn't just my friend because i'm the nøkken. she's also in the same predicament as i am. we both aren't the same as everyone else. we're both different, her with being deaf and me not being a normal creature like everyone else in the woods. i guess I just see a lot of myself in her, maybe that's why i wish to be her friend so much.

"hey logan you there?" she said snapping me out of my thoughts.

"huh what?" i questioned, looking at her.

"you seemed kind of spaced out there, i guess you were." she stated.

" oh sorry i was thinking about something." i admitted scratching the back of my neck feeling a bit embarassed.

" i said you dont have to learn sign language for me. i'm fine with just reading lips." she repeated.

"No no it's fine I want to learn it." I replied. I feel we can never really be friends if she has to struggle to read my lips when I speak. we'll never be a normal pair of friends will we? I'll always have to stand in front of her to speak for her to understand what I'm saying. since she can't hear me, but I'm ok with that I could care less about that right now. I actually feel like I can bond with her because we are alike. I don't feel like I'm the only one flawed because I can relate with her, and because of that similarity we can truly understand each other unlike a normal pair of friends that are completely different. like a preppy popular girl who's best friend is a gamer, where the gamer likes to stay home and be alone. while the popular girl likes to go out and party with hot guys and get drunk. the gamer girl finds no interest in parties, while the popular prep likes to cling to guys and likes going out while hating to be on the computer; which the best friend loves. Because of this difference they can never truly understand each other. me and ferris on the other hand, have being separated from everyone else as a similarity.

"Hey Logan, your zoning out again." ferris announced waving her hand in my face and pulling me out of my thoughts. I saw a hint worried look.

"What's on your mind?" Ferris asked laying her head in her hands.

"I was just thinking about how bullies bully others." I replied I then saw her frown a little.

"I know they bully you ferris. why do you let them do that to you?" I asked a saddened that people would do that.

"Because all society work like that. there's no stopping it. it's hunt or be hunted." Ferris replied. I do tender stand why people would do that. it makes no sense all there doing is hurting others.

" I refuse to believe that." I muttered but I guess she heard me.

"People don't like change or difference so they try to get rid of it. I know people say its because something persona at home but that's not always the case. people bully because there friends do it. The only way to keep from being bullied is to bully others and people like me can't become a bully because we've already become a target." ferris stated in a dead tone. I don't want to believe that even though I know her words are true. I don't want to believe that there's nothing the bullied can do. Pft Like I can talk I kill people for a living. But I believe that there's something they can do.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The rest of the afternoon Ferris taught me sign language which I picked up in her words " unusually and inhumanly" fast. I was like a pro at sign language In only 1 after noon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few weeks later Ferris and I met up again at the mall. I'm not one for shopping but I could use some new clothes and I like stuff. Not to mention I only have like 3 pairs if clothes because you know I'm Nøkken and all. 'Hey Ferris' I sighed, Ferris responding with 'Hey Logan, ready to shop?' At her question I simply nodded while saying yes. Ferris bring silly locked her arm around mine. It was a cute little silly action, that somehow brought heat to my face.
