Chapter 1

Lana's POV

The first thing Lana was going to do was search out some universities that she could get a job at. Her looks had been the same and she could get away with anything between 18 to 28. Bigger than that, it was hard to make humans believe her age.

She had gone to high school as a senior before or as a teacher but it really doesn't make sense to go more than even once. And to add that the teenagers touch a nerve of hers is an understatement. So yes, anything less than a university was out of the window.

Lana wanted to learn more as she had always been curious since she was young and get updated with the present society so she figured the university with trends and students was the closest and the quickest place to do those things.

She decided she would also need a change in scenery and fly out of Rome as much as this was her favourite place in the world with the buildings, history and the colosseum. Interesting fact, she had fought as a gladiator on those sands. Back in Ancient Rome, the bloodthirsty crowd had called her name over and over again after her undefeated victories. They had called her 'tigris vitiosus' which meant vicious tiger. She had tigers to accompany her back then. Those were her prime times. And for many other reasons, she considered Rome her home.

She was now leaving her home to go to a university based in America, which she had not yet had the opportunity to work at.

After packing up, she made her way to the airport to fly out to the continent. She lived alone but there where other vampires or supernatural creatures everywhere that knew her and her existence. She was one of the oldest of the vampires who still roamed the Earth and that tended to make up a reputation. She had a private jet to fly with to America. She could also fly planes or helicopters but her licence was out dated and did not want to bother going down to explain why her paper work was from the times when first propeller planes was being discovered Amelia Earhart was actually had been her friend. So she laid back when she got on the jet and let the human pilot fly the plane this time.

Lana also happened to have a property she owned at America, fortunately close to the university she was planning on working at. When she got off the plane and got to her house in America, she noticed it needed a little bit of dusting off so hired a crew to help her with it. It wasn't a fancy place like the one in Rome but it had a cosy feeling to it. It was a typical suburban American family home. With couple of bedrooms an office, kitchen, living room. Not that Lana herself had ever had the chance of having a family but she had bought this place to fit in.

On the next day, after the house had been taken care of and she had settled in, she started to get her paper work completed. Lana was going to apply as a professor at the university. She was trying to decide which lecture she would give this time for her teacher antics. But she figured the university would require past jobs a good background and she had to update her birth certificate and such to match the age she was going out to public again.

After all the necessities were done, she laid back in her leather office chair crossing her legs and thought about which subject to teach. She had always the option of teaching languages, she had been around to world so many times, she had learned a lot of languages, maybe I can give latin lessons this time, she thought.

Her favourite area was the sciences: biology, chemistry, physics. She would love to teach one of those but those areas were rapidly changing ones which meant Lana would have to revise the curriculum since she hadn't revised one in like 30 years. And although she had nothing more than time on her hands, Lana wanted to start teaching at the university as soon as tomorrow. Her background references and skills mentioned were top notch, she didn't doubt she would be allowed to work there. She just wanted to quicken the process. So with latin in mind, Lana sent her application papers and waited for the reply to come back.
