Changeling. A changeling is a creature found in European folklore and folk religion. It is typically described as being the offspring of a fairy, troll, elf or other legendary creature that has secretly been left in the place of a human child. Sometimes the term is also used to refer to the child who was taken.

Bird’s skin crawled. ‘The child who was taken.’ She looked about quickly, hoping no-one had heard her say the words out loud, but everyone wore headphones.

According to Wikipedia, stories about changelings came from all over the world. In some, a changeling was a fairy who was left in the human world to be taken care of by humans. Bird pursed her lips at a Scottish legend, rocking back on her chair. According to this version, the Fae had to pay a fee to the devil every seven years, so they stole a human child to give to the devil instead of one of their own. In the story of Tamlane, the human child living in Fae was threatened with the same fate.

Bird scowled at the screen. Mrs Forester claimed to love Tom. Well, if she truly loved him she wouldn’t be telling Bird to back off.

Real mothers weren’t like that. Mum wasn’t like that.

The next Wiki entry made her lose her balance. Mr Jeffers turned in her direction as she scrambled to her feet and righted the chair.
