Immortal age 1570

It's 2255 Elizabeth Williams 18 and a lieutenant on board the USS Enterprise. If thats what you believe in reality she's 1570 years old. How you might ask? She was running through the woods by her parents cottage when she ran into a passer through with wild red eyes. This stranger was later burned at the stake but not before he turned 15 year old Elizabeth. She knew she could never return to her village so she carved her own way in life, learning to control her thirst and to replace it with animal blood. Thats how she stayed under the radar for 1570 years. She remembers a lot quite well. She remembers the invention of gun powder and cannons, when plastic was first invented. She remembers when every component of the ship was invented. Through out her many years of life she had many careers some of her favourites being: a nurse, pilot, flight attendant, police officer, teacher, business woman, fisherman. Thats just naming a few.

Star Fleet knew of her species but at her request never said anything. Bones obviously knew as one physical would find that out, her boyfriend Jim knew as it's kinda obvious when your around them for long periods of time. She loved her time with Jim and the others but all good things must come to an end. She out lived them all as expected the last on left being Bones.

Elizabeth was working on USS Enterprise-D under Captain Picard almost a century later. "Elizabeth Williams you old dog is it really you?" "Bones?" She asked turning towards the turbo lift. Sure enough it was Bones though much older, "My my aren't you a sight for sore eyes. How old are you now?" "I don't know it's 2367 right?" Data nodded, "There we go Data how would you like a bit of math 2367-685," in a heartbeat he answered, "2367-685=1682," "There you are Bones I'm 1682 years old," "And you don't look a day over 15!" He announced, "Which reminds me I remembered your favourite after all these years," he tossed her a drinks bottle which she caught effortlessly. After taking a couple of sips she turned back to him smiling, "God I haven't had this in years!" "Yeah," "Replicators don't do the real stuff justice," "From what you've told me I can believe that. But really is it the only thing you can eat?" "Yes everything else has no taste and its just miserable, I haven't eaten my favourite stew since. Since well. Since, I can't remember," "That won't do my quarters later," "Excuse me Lieutenant Williams how do you know Admiral McCoy?" Picard asked interrupting the small reunion, "Oh we served together on the original Enterprise she was Jim's wife before he died. Poor thing is an immortal vampire," "I thought they don't exist?" "I'm proof, one of the oldest known if not the oldest I was turned when I was 15 in 700AD. I have been many places. I would do anything to go back to the good times on the original Enterprise with Jim. In my 1682 years of existence one thing I never wanted more was to be settled down in a nice house with grey hair, a husband that loves me and grandchildren. My gift was I could resort what once was but it only worked for a few minutes or at least thats what I told people. I could resort physical appearances, mental appearances for long periods of time if not permanently. Bones towards the end Jim begged for me to turn him so we could be together forever but he was exhausted and I couldn't make him live forever with that pain he deserved to rest. But I do regret not doing it sooner." He agreed with me and before he left the bridge he whispered, "Trust me when I say trust Q."

She was confused for days till they ran into the one and only Q himself. Elizabeth left the bridge when her shift ended looking forward to a good kip when Q pulled her aside, "Don't let them go this time." When she woke up she felt a weight beside her, she turned to see Jim and there old quarters on the original Enterprise. There was a single note on the bedside table from Q, 'You can grow old together now.' She looked herself over her eyes were no longer golden but there old vivid green, she was human. When he woke up she told him everything. He couldn't believe it but the fact that she was now human was all the proof he needed. She was finally home.

These are just a few of many though most are either unfinished or on paper. Hope you've enjoyed these!
