Linked through Generations (Prologue)

Clarissa sat on the cliff, looking out towards the ocean. According to her dad that's the spot where he proposed to her mom. Clarissa had never met her mom, she died due to birth complications. Clarissa is often blamed by her sister Syren for her mother's death. The abuse from her sister has gotten so bad that sometimes she has to go to her aunts house until Syren cools off. Her dad had completely let himself go, drinking tons and tons of alcohol, more than he used to apparently. Clarissa watched over the waves as they crashed into the cliff.
"This is a beautiful view.." A voice spoke. Clarissa was a little startled but she looked to her side to see a spirit of a young girl, around her age.

"Yeah.. apparently this is where my dad proposed to my mom" Clarissa smile and began chatting with the spirit.
"My name is Winifred" Winifred smiled back. She had tan skin, brown hair, and a light blue dress with a hood that had cat ears.
"I'm.. Clarissa, Clarissa Suzuki..". Winifred looked a little shocked when she heard the last name.
"Suzuki? As in... Emily Suzuki?" She tilted her head to the side a little.
"Yeah? what about her?" Clarissa looked a little confused, did the little girl know her mother.
"She's my auntie! Not blood related of course... so that makes us cousins!" Winifred explained, a huge grin forming on her face.
"oh? who is your mom?" Clarissa was now curious how this dead 6 year old was related to her.
"Her name is Tatsuki Wildrom, or where I came from, Tatsuki Woods!" Clarissa's eyes widened a little.
"She's the one who has been taking care of me... but I don't think I've seen her with anyone under the last name woods.. but shouldn't you be with your mama?"
"Oh, well there's a reason I came to you... My mother was murdered by someone while her and dad were out on a picnic. 'Impalement' they said... My dad let himself go just like you.. but he sometimes took out his aggression on me and my siblings... My whole friends and family tree was shrinking by the minute... Until I was one of the last ones standing..." It seemed a little hard for Winifred to talk about.
"I'm sorry.... that sounds awful..." Clarissa wasn't quite sure what to say so this was all she could think of at the moment.
"It's fine, being a spirit is kind of cool ya know... but... I have a proposal for you" Winifred stood up and so did Clarissa. Winifred held out her hand.
"Be my host please.. I really just wanna see my mama again..."
Clarissa froze for a moment, before taking Winifred's hand and shaking it,

"You've got a deal"
