When Lisa Dumont travels down to New Orleans to stay with her mother for the summer, she finds herself entangled in a web of century-long territorial disputes between undead and supernatural forces. Lisa soon realizes that she has become torn between the blood-loyalty to her mother, Voodoo Priestess Madam Dumont, and the intrigue she has grown towards Elder Vampire, Hezekiah Mercier - the enemy. And consequently, the heavy discord between the two factions leaves Lisa with life-changing decisions to make that could possibly alter the fate of both groups and everyone else in between. ** **DISCLAIMER** This story is UNEDITED and UNREVISED. I haven't made any adjustments to this story since I first wrote it, which was when I was about 18 years old. I'm 23 now, for reference. I adore this story with all I have, but most of the chapters I haven't even revisited since I first uploaded them. Any mistakes, I'm usually notified of them by readers who point them out in comments. Please tread lightly, for there are undoubtedly historical inconsistencies, incorrect language translations, grammar and punctuation mistakes, and information that hasn't been properly fact checked. This is a work of FICTION. Have fun with it, please! But also beware that this is an amateur piece (that I had a great time writing). Follow me on instagram! @ceaselessmindwrites

In the year 2063, birth rates are at an all time low. The world population is decreasing at rapid rates causing the economy to deflate and certain institutions close. The United Nations decides to create a program dedicated to people to their most compatible person on the Earth. This is decided based on DNA testing, personality exams, etc. From the age of 16, every able person (meaning those who can give informed consent) goes through the testing process. Every inch of their DNA is scanned for abnormalities, carriers for diseases, etc, in order to give potential babies a better chance at life. Kimiko went through the process at age 16, however she's now two weeks away from her 18th birthday and has yet to receive a match. Watty Awards 2019 Entrant!
