Immortal Love - Chapter 1

What I really want to tell you has been haunting me since before time, since before time even existed. Long periods of blackness came and went. Nothing loomed in my mind. Nothing was what I was.

Then all of the sudden I was told to open my eyes and see what the world would become and in flashes of bright and laminating light, I saw. I saw the creation of the world from dust to gradual beings. Huge dinosaurs to humans and I was amazed. Amazed at the thought of the magic it believed it owned. A laugh came from me and I turned to see it’s face with such beauty and determination that it said this world would love it as a god. That is when I knew it would go through with this magic of light and goodness. Now that you know how old I truly am, you will be amazed at all I have seen…

The beginning of my "life" was almost through baby’s eyes. I took one look at this world that the being had created and I wanted to experience all that I could see. The beautiful being picked me up in its hand and gently lowered me down to what it had created. It was the most beautiful thing you could imagine. With the green rolling hills, the blue oceans, and rich thick forests. I turned my head to ask it what all this was and it replied, "A planet made out of our nothingness. All of our nothing made this beautiful place." I asked, "Why?" Its reply was, "Love."

In the basis of our lives before the world, we were the blackness of the sky, the blackness of old. We watched this planet with life on it grow and undeniably the beautiful one was thought of as a god.

Gradually these beings began to evolve. With every new century came a new being. The stories told of these new beings were told over and over until they became legends. These beings were mystical, magical, and mysterious.

This is where my story begins, an Unearthly love between a mystical being and an immortal.

The beautiful one, known to humans as ‘God,’ finally gave me a name: Alajuandra LaCrox. I have lived before the beginning of time and had seen the entire new world. You have heard all the old tales of beings with no souls. I had never seen one but knew of their existence. On a lonely day I stumbled upon one. I was walking down a secluded street listening to the quietness and the dreams from the mortals’ houses when I sensed death. I stopped and listened. He gently stepped out of the shadows and I turned to see him. He was beautiful, dark, and mysterious. He was dressed all in black with a black overcoat. His hair was black and his eyes were crystal blue almost transparent. He smiled, a ruthless smile, knowing that I was not a mortal either. I smiled back. "So whom do I owe this pleasure?" he asked. ‘What pleasure are you referring to?" I replied. Then there was a sparkle in his eyes and he laughed. "What is your name?" "Alajuandra, and yours?" He just smiled, turned, and disappeared into the night. I walked home keeping the image of his smile in my mind.

As you can well imagine, of all the centuries I had spent on this world, I have a considerable sum of money. The corporation I own is called "MoonFire, Inc." It manufactures eveningwear for men and women. Also, it has a collector’s gallery of ancient artifacts from paintings, pottery, to jewelry. Over the years I had also invested in TV, radio, and real estate ventures. There is no limit to my talents. Many could not believe that at 5’5, slim, brunette, with small brown eyes (almost black as night) could run such an empire. To some I am a shrewd businesswoman; to others I am a great friend. Through my whole life I had only let a very few into my personal life. I ran my empire out of public eyes. I had met other immortals that the beautiful creator had made. Some are my friends and others are considered family. My "family" consists of two witches, two immortals, and a mortal. Alexa Conati and Kara Soho, the witches, are very lovely. They are two of the most powerful in their bloodline. Alexa has long brown hair with the biggest green eyes that many men have fallen for. Kara is a red head, short and spunky and with a very fierce temper to match. The two immortals are Nico McClain, strong, beautiful, with the jet black hair and chocolate brown eyes, this Scottish man could make any heart quiver and David Weaver, also tall and muscular with dirty blond hair, a square jaw, and the most perfect blue eyes. As for the mortal, Joshua McMurphy, is a classy, intelligent, and older gentleman. He is a professor at Oxford and an expert in ancient relics. How we became a family is another story.
