What if your life was longer than all of your family your children what if you lived longer than them what would you do? What if your death was followed by a rebirth or a resurrection 6 hours in the past leaving you to make another choice as to what you would do that day instead.

"I never gave any thought to the way life would lead or how I would live my life but if I could die in the place of some one I loved would I do it?"

I was never really a sports person even when I was young my coordination had left things to be desired of me I found that after a while things got easier with practice. I am 16 with brown eyes with long very dark brown softly curling hair that I wore loose usually I had not tattoos or piercings other than my ears I had left my family when I was 14 after filling emancipation paperwork and proving I did not need an adult to care for me. I had money gained over a long time I had learned that people knowing about my condition was not good I remembered each time o died and each person I met in that life.

I was living in France in 1765 I was in the court of the King and some how the King found out I was had been alive for close to 45'000 years I was taken and experimented on for over a month before I died from loss of blood and torture I had endured it was horrible. I had died 3 times in the of the 1700's because I was careless with my safety and people found out. I had been burnt as a witch in 1712. The death after that was at the hands of the court physician who experimented on me in 1735. The last death was at the hands on Louis XV he was a bastard I was forced into being his mistress by the man I had called father I was kept above Louis room in an apartment were I was left to wither It was during some rather unpleasantness where Louis was strangled me during his completion.

Each time I was born again I gained new powers and strength that I used I owned houses that were paid until I matured and then I would sell them thru a third party and I would move on I always went back to Rome until the 1800's then I stopped I traveled painting and healing I always traveled in religious garb of the region and I tried to heal and leave the towns I visited with no cause to think I was a witch. The time I spent traveling taught me to survive and learn to hunt. My past has been fraught with pain and joy my children grew up loved an humble finding true love and having children I had watched them and visited them on their death beds I was and am the oldest living thing in forever.

I could if I wasn't killed I could live forever with out ever aging I have had to watch all of my friends die because they got older I would check in on them and then leave if they were having trouble I would bang on the door and leave a bag of coins to help them. I had no need for the billions I had acquired over the years I never stayed in one place for 20 years after my 15th birthday would age slower until I looked 35 I would stop aging whenever I wanted to I could go wherever I wanted I had to change my name every 15-20 years to avoid discovery I chose places were I could buy a farm and grow vegetables in a garden I had acquired a love of gardening and I rode my horse.

I wrote songs and played music life was always so much simpler before the revolution and the creation of electronic I could control my appearance I went to school and learned like everyone else I was simple in my dress and hair put I wore a 16th century gold and diamond cross around my neck I made a will in my previous life leaving the cross to myself I was reborn in to the family of my descendants the parcel was sent to them by my lawyer with a letter telling them that it was to be given to me at the age of 10 years but not to be worn until I was 13. I went to a regular school until I joined the convent in 1908 and spent 8 years in the convent of the sisters of perpetual chastity in Chicago I left America and went to Italy to the Vatican I turned in my habit keeping the second habit that I had sewed myself I still wore the cross that had been mine since 1500 and I had kept it hidden until 1896.

So you see I have lived and endured more pain and joy than any one should ever have to suffer in this life I find that being immortal lest I go crazy I must focus on others who are in need. When people have asked if god actually exists I say yes god is real I was present when god was whipped before being murdered by the spear in his side. I was called Ester in that time I met the son of god and I wish I had I stopped them but I knew that this must happen if religion was ever going to change. I was a free woman in that time I traveled and spread the story of gods resurrection of Jesus.

"but wait your trying to tell me that you are over 75'000 years old. And you remember all of it I don't believe you you have a heart beat and warm skin no human can live 75'000 years". Liam said looking at me with a look of disbelief and questioning interest in my life story.

"Liam I am not the humans that walk around now in this era if I was not murdered I could live to be hundreds of thousands of years old I will telly you all of my past after dinner but for now I have traveled all night to get here I will rest and then you can have Maggie listen to my story with Siobhan while I eat the travel was horrible these airplanes as they are called are disgusting what happened to ship travel even flying in my own plane was deplorable talk about unnerving.

I have seen the rise and fall of empires and yet they fall short when it come to the travel that has been invented since I will be more detailed on some of the past but after can you show me to my room and show me where I can eat anything I am starving I would not eat on the way. I was show a kitchen where I made a sandwich eating at the counter I spoke with Liam about nothing particular while I was washing dishes before I was taken to a suite with a private bathroom and balcony.

I filled the Jacuzzi tub with hot water and then adding in my special bath scents I grabbed my 100% waterproof massager and the bag of stuff I always traveled with when I left my home it was changing the world was much different than I remembered it in this case it was unnerving the amount of time that had passed as I had gone thru life in this world finding the perfect place to live. I grabbed my stuff from the bag on the ledge and sat back against the tub leaning back I turned on the massager and put it under the water and then used the other item and I used them before I washed and then got out of the tub and dried off putting on my robe I brushed out my thigh length hair. My hair was dark brown with kinky curls in it my hair was much longer but the curls made it shorter. I sat at the vanity and brushed it out with my vanity hair brush set with still had all of its pieces in it including the trunk it came in. I straightened my hair and braided it and put my hair into a sleep cap tying it at the base of my skull.

I pulled off my robe and put on a nightgown and went to the bedroom my Great Danes following me I laid down on the large bed with them beside me I slept for 2 hours before getting up and dressing it has been 15 years since I met Carlisle at the hospital in Chicago. I am moving to Gatlinburg Tennessee in two days I will be teaching at the High school I was teaching classes for writing and reading. I had 20 students 10 boys and 10 girls I would have to be at the school the day before I started to do the seating chart set up I have read everything I could and my brain absorbed it like a sponge in water.

I sat at the vanity removing the sleeping cap I unbraided my hair and brushed it before removing the straightness and letting it fall to ringlet curls. I put on a long black skirt with a chemise, corset and petticoats under my dark blue blouse with lace on the sleeves. I put on black flats and let the dogs onto the balcony to do their business I cleaned it up and then snapped my fingers as the trash can over the edge on the grounds lid came up and I dropped the paper over the railing into the trash can. I went to the door and opened it I found Liam in the living room with Maggie and his true mate Siobhan I was carrying a trunk I set it down and then took a seat across from Liam and Siobhan Lex and Kara sat on the floor beside me and then I reached over and opened the chest that I had set in front of me on the coffee table Maggie went and grabbed tea for me setting it on the table I thanked her and poured water in a cup.

I filled a tea strainer with tea and then I pulled out the box of Liam's things setting it on the floor and saying "this is yours I believe I was going to give it to someone who needed but I decided to keep it for you in case I ever saw you again". I reached I set the trunk on the floor in front of me and rifled around until I found the trunk that had stuff from the 1600's I pulled it out and pushed the trunk in front of me and I set it down. I pulled out the book of sketches I had done I smiled "remember this? I got so mad when you went snooping in my chest of art stuff I threw you off the balcony".

"yes I remember I could have died" Liam said to me looking indignant as I laughed.

"I made sure that there was something soft you would land on before I threw you. The servants thought I had finally gone crazy after that they never said much." I said laughingly to him as he frowned at me with a look I had come to know well. "sorry I suppose I should explain what I am referring to. Liam and I used to be married back in 1630 until 1652 when he was cleared dead by the church. No I did not marry him for love he had money and he was handsome we did not love each other we respected each other didn't we Li Li?" I said looking at him and pulling out another book this one was full page color drawings.
