In my travels I have noticed as I continue to walk on this Earth, that everything changes. I have always wondered why I belonged here. I may not be the same as everyone else but, I must have a reason to still be walking this Earth as I am. I'm searching for someone that I have never even met and was just born not even 16 years ago, she just happens to be, my sister. I never realized that I could actually have a sibling because- Never mind that. I'm 18 centuries old and I look 18. As I look in the mirror my jet black hair is a mess, so I fix it. My leather jacket is zipped up hiding my ripped and bloody shirt, I have my tight black jeans on which are slightly stained with blood but, hardly noticeable and I always wonder why the females are always staring at me with a sort of wonder in their eyes. There has been only one girl in my travels that I actually found an interest in and that was this year. I met here at a movie theater, the seat next to hers was the only seat open so I took it. When she looked at me I realized her eyes, an almost silver color. My eyes on the other hand, I have to put contacts in because they are red. When I get mad they get brighter, when I'm sad they are more of a blood red, so I hide them to the best of my ability, unless I'm in the woods. I have been in the woods for about 4 years now because I feel that my sister is living somewhere in the woods and well everyday after I eat breakfast I head into the woods and search but I never found where she's living. The woods have a strange feel to them like they are being protected or something. Today I am going back into the woods and hopefully I find her today. I leave the bathroom I am in and head to the woods and take my contacts out as I walk. As I continue to walk I notice a new part of the forest near by that I have been to before but it's different. I walk closer to the clearing and there is a small cottage in the middle of it surrounded by a pack of wolves. My Sword materializes in my hand and I get ready for a battle. The moment I raise my sword a girl about the age of 16 walks out of the cottage and calms the wolves. "May I ask who you are and how you are standing in front of my house?" The girl asks.

"I have been through this area many times and never noticed this clearing and I'm trying to figure out why" I respond.

"You must leave for I do not accept strangers near my house"

"If I can see this clearing and your house how could I be a stranger? I may look like a stranger but you know there is much more than that." The girl pauses as I say that and looks at me quite frightened.

"Why are your eyes red?" She asks.

"Why are your eyes white?" I ask in return.

"I live in these woods and never show myself to the humans. How did you know I am not human?"

"Because I know my own kind but, you are a mortal being."

"That is correct I am mortal but, how did you know I am not human?"

"That is because I am not a human as well as you are not. There is a difference though."

"What would that difference be?"

"I am immortal." She looks at me a bit frightened and averts her gaze away from mine. She slowly looks towards my way and I see her eyes have turned a dark grey.

"Are you ok?" I ask trying not to make her anymore scared than she has to be.

She looks me over multiple times before responding to me and then slowly replies, "How is it that I feel like we know each other but I have never seen you before in my life?"

I look at her with a puzzled look on my face and then I realize what she has just said.
