Blood will spill onto the streets of the humans’ in our wars’ it has remained for thousands of years of self convincing of our kind to believe that war is the best option. That war will help the feeble humans prosper whilst the immortals remain in secret. If only they knew the truth of us, if I only knew the truth. 1300 years of life I looked like a girl around 17 though the ratio between human ages and our ages have not been worked out we all age at different rates it is unnatural. We the immortals have battled the evils of the underworld for thousands of years from the typical Dragon to the filth and vileness of Vampires. The hate we have for each other is one that runs in our blood every time I see one my blood boils and my heart beat goes out of control.

Alexandra looked like a normal seventeen year old girl she was far from it, her pride and joy her diary. It seemed to ask more question then give answers, she was an average immortal, average immortal parents and she had average immortal siblings. Alexandra knew that to the larger population of the world being immortal wasn’t normal.

The immortals live under the command of the Lelianels the royal family. The immortals were all expected to participate in the effort against evil. The immortals had a world of their own the humans ignorant at the best of times. Alexandra knew she was outnumbered though she never belonged her peoples’ homeland forgotten no one alive knows where it went some say Babylon. It would explain her brown skin, her black hair and her brown eyes. All of her kind had those traits so it would be a possibility or the Indus Valley but it was written to be most likely Babylon.

Alexandra looked in the mirror saw her face staring at her she was growing bored of the same thing. “Lalia!” Alexandra’s accent grew to be strong English one in the last few years as well as the rest of her family. “Darius” Alexandra yelled. A man who looked about 18 dragged his feet to her then followed an older girl about 19 walked into the room. The girl looked almost identical to Alexandra but her hair was lighter and more straight yet her eyes were far darker. The man was tall, muscular, he had lighter hair then the girls.

“What do you want Alexandra?” Darius muttered

“It is the bloody Gorgons!” Alexandra sighed “They are so hard to find, I haven’t been able to locate their patterns or anything and I know you two have dealt with them before, so how do you find them and kill them?” Alexandra begged them

“Well anywhere hot without many lakes, dessert are popular anywhere in extreme the heat, that’s they way they like it” Lalia smiled then the she grabbed a bunch of book’s off of Alexandra’s bookshelf in her room and violently slammed the books on Alexandra’s desk.

The both of them walked out

Alexandra was let there in her room, having to study about Gorgons, she didn’t want to do it, she wanted to get into the gritty stuff the vampire stuff, her favourite, her hate for them made her want to kill all of them. Alexandra wanted so many things, she knew she was part of something special but yet she felt generic as if she was a weapon I guess she would always be a vessel. Lalia was the prettier one she was already planning to get married in the next few decades seeing her sister’s happiness just made her down.

The crest of her kind hung on her wall with all the weapons she had. Alexandra wanted to be part of the blood feuds yet she was stuck with mythical creatures of ancient times. Alexandra spent so much time at home with her Mum and Dad she stuck with them as she knew they had to accept her greatest fear of all is rejection. Rejection will cut through her like a knife through butter.

Over the years Alexandra have seen to many people die then she their children die like a cycle of death, death never ended in her eyes, even though sometimes she brought on death. Alexandra’s mother Cassiopeia was about 3000 years old she had seen so many civilisations fall then rise again she seems to young to be a mother, Alexandra’s mother was younger then her when she got married and had her first child. Her father Alexander was 3200 years old was her age about when he got married and had kids, Alexandra ages slower then everyone else she could never know why. Darius and Lalia where actually her triplet siblings yet she looked younger therefore she had to wait longer to grow up no one believed her mind was grown up.

“HOLY CRAP!” Alexandra groaned as she realise she was suppose to be out with Paris he already would get sick of her late timing. Alexandra picked up her coat and bag then ran out of her house now she was in the middle of Victorian London the filth of the streets made her sick. She never understood sometimes why she would fight for humanity when they treated people like this. Then she would suddenly realised that the people on the streets where still human they were neglected they needed protection from all the creatures of the night. Alexandra saw Paris there he stood there in the rain smiling at her. His olive skin was covered by smart clothes his eyes were bright green he had jet black hair, he was around 6 ft and was muscular all of her kind were muscular it would be very rare to find a weedy or fat immortal.

“Hello there” Paris smiled he stood there still as a rock in the rain his hair was wet and it seemed it was waiting there for sometime.

“Good evening” Alexandra let out a smile the hugged him “You’re really wet why didn’t you leave or go in a shop?” Alexandra asked

“I said I will meet you here, Alexandra, I would stay here as I promised you!” he told her then stroked her face, then he hugged her then he gave her a kiss and the whole street stared at her she forgot that the public did not like people kissing but they pulled away before they got arrested under the public obscenity act.

“That’s sweet but I must reframe from kissing you, we will get arrested if we carry on like this” Alexandra laughed she did love Paris but she had to focus on her career.

Paris and Alexandra walked in hand in hand down the road then he suddenly stopped her. “I am going to America, I have been stationed there” Paris said to her

Alexandra cried “Why, they can’t take you why, I am going with you!”

“No you are only level 8 you are too young, focus on getting higher I will be waiting for you there everyday.” he kissed her as he whispered to her, people continued to look at her she didn’t care.

“I am ready, they can’t take you, they can’t I can go you know I can!” Alexandra begged, she loved him so much she couldn’t let go of him, she knew she was ready.

“The government won’t let you go with me, I can’t have attachments and if I were to go it had to be with at least a level 10” Paris said then he looked away he looked to the ground he refused to look her in the eye.

“LOOK AT ME!” Alexandra cried he still wouldn’t “LOOK AT ME” she was about to die from the pain but she was stronger then that. “I am ready, I am stuck with gorgons but I can deal with the vermin!” Alexandra protested

“I know you can, but will they listen, no” Paris cried then stroked her face ever so softly and wiping her tears from her face. “I will be back soon, I know Lalia going is hard for you too” Alexandra had no idea her sister was leaving then her heart collapsed, Paris she could handle but her triplet too, they were connected.

“I di-d-n’t kn-ow” Alexandra stuttered, Paris hugged her until her tears dried, it took hours
