Khole Tyler is a normal 16-year-old girl... except for the fact that she's a mermaid. Before moving to Beacon Hills, she was living in Hawaii. In Hawaii, she stumbled upon a moon pool, and soon after that, she became a mermaid every time she touched...

The last thing Khole remembers was standing in the school auditorium and witnessing the music teacher's death by a piano string. She didn't remember anything after that... she didn't remember leaving, or driving home, or anything at all. All she could remember was that song the band was playing and the horrible death she and everyone else in attendance had seen. Khole had passed out, and in the moments when she was waking up, she was confused. In the moments she was waking up, she couldn't feel the binds around her wrists or the uncomfortable chair she was tied to. She couldn't feel any of it and thought she was home in her bed. So her first thought was, 'How did I get here?'
Then, she opened her eyes. It took her a moment to adjust and allow her vision to clear, so she blinked and blinked until everything around her became clear and she could feel everything. Khole is not at home in her room. Khole is tied, sitting in a chair, in a dark, empty basement room. Her head pounded and her eyes watered.
Once her thoughts were able to catch up with what she was seeing and feeling, Khole straightened in the chair and frantically looked around. She'd been kidnapped! But, how and why? Khole looked around, trying to find any information, but there was nothing. The basement is dark, damp, and cold. It's made completely from concrete and it's empty aside from herself and a small table a few feet away from her. Unfortunately, it's too dark to see if anything is on top, so, Khole has nothing.
Her thoughts swirled around her so quickly that she almost felt dizzy.
Who could've done this? Was it the twins? Or was it Scott and his friends? No, they wouldn't do this. Sure, they were creepy and acted weird around her, but she'd never given or done anything to warrant such a drastic move from them. Besides, Khole remembers how once they'd all finished staring at her, they were watching the concert too. They couldn't have had anything to do with kidnapping her, there would've been some sort of sign... So, who did kidnap her?
What about her parents? Khole doesn't know how long it's been from when she passed out at the concert, but by now someone would've realized she was gone. Someone would've figured it out, whether it be her parents or someone else. Her parents had to know by now that she was gone, and Khole couldn't help but worry and wonder about what they were feeling or thinking. Would she ever get back to them?
Was she going to die here?
Khole had so much running through her head, so many worries and anxieties... so much fear, that if you were to look at her, you'd think she was a million miles away. But, she was snapped out of her thoughts. The creaking sound of a door opening was so loud in this quiet basement, that Khole heard it immediately. Her head snapped over to where the sound came from and she watched the darkness in anticipation. Whoever it was walking down the creaky stairs had kidnapped her, and Khole was terrified. Then, when the creaking from the stairs stopped, Khole held her breath.
Suddenly, a light above Khole turned on and she was blinded for a moment. Khole turned her head away from the light and tilted her head towards the ground, blinking her eyes furiously to try and adjust to the sudden brightness.
