My name is Amanda Stone. I'm 23 years old. I try to live life to its fullest without a thought. Yet I can't help but wonder 'what's the propose of this life?'.

What I'm I here doing here? 
Why I'm I here in the first place?
Is there really an afterlife?
What happens to our loved ones when they die?
Most importantly, what's going to happen to me when I die?

I ask myself these and others questions like them all the time. Yet I never get a satisfactory answer. I'm lost. 

My parents are Christians, but I don't believe that Christianity is sufficient enough- at lest for me. It doesn't answer all my questions nor doesn't make total sense to my complicated mind. I've asked many priests and pastors why Jesus was sacrificed for our own sins, all I got was 'we only follow without questioning what we're told' -or even worse- I was kicked out of the church. Why are there no one answering me?! 

I'm not ready to follow blindly something I don't understand.   
 
I know where I live, where I'm at, and what I want... but I'm still lost. I don't feel full. This idea of not knowing why I'm here is killing me. 

I desperately need help... 

                 "God! Help me find your way!" 

                                     ~~~*~~~

After a rainy day, the sun just has to come out by the will of its Creator!

I put the grocery bags down after coming inside the house, setting my keys on the counter and placing the bags on the table, putting the stuff away, until I heard a voice. &quot;FATIMA, FATIMA!&quot; Mama was calling me, hm I wonder what for and why did she sound excited as well? &quot;Yes mama? Ana in the kitchen Mama.&quot; She came in holding two papers. &quot;We're going! We're going to Jerusalem, to see your cousin get married!&quot; That's when my whole world crashes down. I'm going to Jerusalem ...that means I have to see my cousin Samer, whom I've avoided for 5 years, since I was 16. Ya Allah help me through this.

" you will be fine," he says before letting go of my hand and about to leave. I didn't even realize when my body reacted. Jumping to a standing position I caught his hand. Immediately I felt that electricity once again. What is this? " you need something?" "Who...who are you?"

Is it that difficult to answer such a question? " someone who brings you evil and sorrow," he said making me confused. Slowly taking his hand away from my grip he turns to leave once again, but I stopped him again " ok, can I at least get your name?" " you won't be needing it" he slowly turns to leave" also. Stop getting yourself in a complex situation " with that he vanished into the crowd. I turn in confusion to see the bartender wasn't even paying attention, no one was. No one saw what just happen.

"So you approached me without being aware of my identity?" He asks me, while raising an eyebrow. To say I was shocked would be an understatement. It takes me a while to compose myself and form a sensible reply. "Yes, I wasn't aware of your identity." "You might think you can fool me, but trust me, this has happened quite a few times before as well." He says with a very serious expression. I'm baffled by his accusation. This man has the audacity to question my intentions when he's the one trying to converse with me all along. I don't know what comes over me, but whenever I'm overwhelmed with anger, it turns into tears. And before I can compose myself, I taste the salty tears in my mouth. I take a few deep breaths, place the cup on the side table and get up to leave. "Thank you for your hospitality and your excellent assessment of my character. I will now take your leave." With that, I turn to head towards the door but he grabs my hand and pulls me towards him. Characters: Ameerah is a happy-go-lucky 23 year old who has recently graduated from med school. She is an optimist with quite a rosy view of the world. She is far from perfect. She has her faults; some she's aware of and others, not so much. She's stronger than most in some ways, weaker than many in others. Sebastian McArdle is a Consultant in General Surgery at the Royal London Hospital. He's one of the youngest and most accomplished surgeon in town. To an outsider, his life would seem perfect. He's young, handsome, successful, rich and hails from one of the most respected families in the country. But life is not always what it seems to be. He has his own set of problems. As Our Holy Qur'an states Surah An-Nisa, Verse 28: Allah desires that He should make light your burdens, and man is created weak. Follow a story of trials and errors, to finding her path to love, and to Life.

(EDITED) "Ok ma'am, maybe you are right. But what do you want from me? Why have you even kidnapped me?" I glared at her, annoyed. I can't believe I'm agreeing with her right now. "Oh nothing much baby boy, I just want you to get married to my daughter. And if you agree, I will leave you. As simple as that." She smirked making me shocked. As I looked at her once again, I realised that she wasn't too old. Maybe in her late thirties. And she wants me to marry her daughter? How old is her daughter again?

Unable to age, unable to die. So many people want me, but they can't have me. They want to experiment on me and use my blood to make more people like me. They want an army, an army that will take over humanity. An army that will end the world. I am a fighter, I work alone. But I have more problems then just them chasing me to worry about. I'm looking for something, wanting to be someone else, I'm hunting for my freedom. I don't want this, I don't want this life. This live and never die or age crap, I'm done with it. I can never love a man because we won't die old together, I want freedom from this. I walk around everyday seeing families, happy and smiling; it kills me inside. I want that, but I can't have that. I can't have that because of this curse, because of this group of people trying to catch me, use me. I may be human but we all know I'm beyond important. Others think it's incredible! I hate it, I want out, I want to be free.. But can I ever truly be?
