Chapter One - Immortal
I'm different,I've never met anyone like me beside my mother. She's also the reason I am what I am. It took me almost 3 decades to actually speak to her, and when I did I bombarded her with questions. I didn't understand why she did this to me, why couldn't she just let me live my life. I have yet to forgive her.
My mother made me immortal. I had a wonderful life as a child, I had caring friends, loving parents- or so I thought, I had everything I ever wanted. I wasn't mean, snobby or did anything bad ever in my life, I didn't deserved this. I will never rest in peace, I will always walk this earth while it still remained whole. I hated what I was.
Because of this gift my mother bestowed on me, people have died. Innocent people, who were at the wrong place at the wrong time. I killed them, and I am not proud this, I despise myself for it, for having the need to do this and wanting more in the end. I could have killed a whole stadium full of people and the desire, the thirst will always be there. What my mother did to me is unforgivable.
For many years my mother was my shadow. I've traveled the world and yet she always followed. Never aging plays a big part in my travels, I can't stay for more than 10 years in one place, before people start to question my still young face. I was turned three days after nineteenth birthday. I was quite developed at that age so i could pull off the early 20s but after that it starts getting suspicious.
I aceppted the fact that I'm not going to die, I'm not okay with it but why pounder the inevitable. That being said i decided that, after decades have past, I'm going to settle down with my mother this time. She's not forgiven, but in the end she's the only one that actually understands what I go through on a daily basis.
We decided on some where near a forest, I've been trying to blend in big cities like New York, London, LA, but even then people asked a lot of questions. Smaller city, less people to annoy me is how I see it.
Exactly 40 miles north from Seattle laid Windfall Island, Washington. Believe it or not I've never been to Washington. My mother actually suggested it, and with the power of the internet we got a four bedroom house semi far from other people, deep in the woods.
We were now on a ferry crossing to the island, we each had one suitcase whatever we needed we were going to buy there. When you've lived for as long as I have, you learn to know that you actually don't need half of the shït that you own. I was staring down at the water, watching the fishes scatter away the boat when my mom spoke up.
"Are you nervous?"
I side glanced down at her. "Why would I be nervous?"
"Well you've never been here, who knows how the people are."
"I really don't care, I'm probably not going to hold a conversation with anybody here, or anywhere at that." I shrugged.
"See that's why you move a lot, you have gain these peoples trust, make them like you." She sighed. "They are to busy trying to get to know you. If you befriend them, you tell them what you want them to know."
"I rather move alot, then deceive them." With that I walked away, and sat in the car for the rest of the ride. I closed my eye and enjoyed the sound of waves crashing against the the boat. I never knew how peaceful that sound was. Then there was a tapping sound against my window.
I looked up to see a young man around eighteen, quite muscular with dark brown hair, smiling down at me. I opened the door and gave him a questioning look.
"Hi, sorry didn't mean to bother your resting, you dropped your mittens." He lifted the gloves. "These are yours right?"
I patted my pocket, finding it empty. I nodded and reach out for it. "Thank you." My mother insisted that we had to wear gloves to blend in, since humans are topically warm, we have to cover our icey hands.
"I'm Liam by the way." He extended his right hand to me. As soon as my hand slid in to his, he shivered, and I backed my hand away. "Wow you're cold, good thing I found you gloves." He chuckled.
I didn't freak him? That's actually the first time, everybody usually questions it. After a few seconds of silence he cleared his thoart. "So what's your name?" I would usually ignore anybody who tried to talk to me but we touched and It didn't freak him out. Thats a big step for me.
"Deveena" I said as I slipped my gloves back on.
"Well Deveena, it was nice meeting you. Hopefully I'll see you around." I nodded and closed the door. I like him, I might give him a chance. I just might take my mothers advice.
After a few minutes passed the boat came to a stop, and I could see my mother walking towards the car. Once in she turned and smiled. "Good job, I think you just made your first friend." Turning on the car we drove on to the island.
My first friend. I thought in my head and smiled.
