Story: Noah McCarty was a boy born in London, England with a passion for travel. He wanted to be like his Uncle Joel, to sail the earth and see all of these beautiful places. He got his wish at the age of 18 when his uncle asked him to accompany him on his voyage to New York City. They were going to stay in the city for about a year, and everything was amazing, just as he imagined. But the night his story really begins is December 1, 1742, he is taking a shortcut home from his job at the grocery after a long day of bringing bags back and forth to others homes. A tall, dark figure came forth out of the darkness towards him, he called out to him by name and Noah found he couldn't move. The figure lurked closer until he was standing in front of his frozen prey. Noah looked into the red eyes of the handsome yet frightening hunter. The man leaned forward and bit into his meal. The last thing Noah remembered before the blackness took him was a wolf howling in the distance. When he awoke three days later he was still in the alleyway. Everything was so much clearer and he realized what he had become, the hunter. He got up and as fast as a lightning he ran. For hours he continued to run, thirst burning in his throat, until he couldn't stand it anymore and he killed the closest thing to him, a large stag. Once he finished his meal he looked around. He was in a secluded area and he could smell nothing but wild life for miles, so he stayed there, repulsed by what he had become, trying to commit suicide multiple times. When he finally realized he was indestructible he made it his goal to be able to be around humans as comfortably as possible. After a few years he traveled back to New York searching for companionship, someone like him. There he meet The Committee, rich, powerful, and very old vampires whom ruled the city, they persuaded him to join them. They gave him a job, one he loved as he could travel the world, in search of finding humans who would have potential vampire powers. Fifty-eight years later he was back in London, where he saw a girl who he knew would be pleasing to The Committee. She was the perfect con-artist, she could look at a person and, with a few alterations to he appearance, could look and act just like that person. When he spoke to The Elders of The Committee they were very pleased and gave him permission to single out Lydia Van Alen.

Her Great-Grandmother would give birth to her Grandmother, her Grandmother would give birth to her Mother and her Mother would give birth to her. Now that doesn't sound too weird right until she found out that her Great-Grandmother would "die" and within a month she would become pregnant, with her Great-Grandmother, yea I know weird right? She then began to have visions of the past, and the next 2 years were a blur of headaches and dizziness as the memories of all of her past lives, since the beginning of time, came flowing back to her. At the age of 16 her memories were complete, she a witch.

Chapter 1
November 21, 1918
Bahamian Beach
Lydia's POV
It was a cool autumn day. The sun was shinning bright above me as I lounged on a beach in the Bahamas. Oh, I haven't introduced myself have I? Well, my name is Lydia Van Alen, and I am a vampire. I know what your thinking, Vampire? Then how can you be in the sunlight? Well that is a stereotype and I am offended! But, Vampires don't melt in the sun or anything as absurd as that! You see there are tons of Vampire folklore that is complete and utterly ridiculous! Like us having to sleep in coffins, or us having red eyes, or turning into bats,... well that I can do... but that's only because one of my powers is shape-shifting. You see I can turn myself into anything or anybody I desire. But back to the legends. See we can sleep, we don't have to sleep but we can if we so desire, and most of us do because the longer we go without sleep, the more we look dead and decaying! I know ghastly isn't it, frightening even, but if we do sleep, just a few hours a week, we are the most gorgeous beings to you humans. We also don't have red eyes, how would we lure our prey to us if we had blood red eyes? Our eye color depends on our diet, if you drink human blood your eyes are a purplish color, if you drink animal blood your eyes would be hazel, but for me, I drink a health mix of both so my eyes are a purplish-hazel color. Now as I have mentioned we do drink blood, it is a messy ordeal, but we can and do eat human food as well, we prefer rare meat though and...
'No!, this cannot be happening!' A female's voice rang through my head.
'Huh? I wonder whats happening to her...' Oh there goes one of my other powers, or should I say one of the other powers I stole from someone. You see I can steal, well its more like borrowing really, but I retain that power and have it forever, but they keep their power as well. I don't take it from them that would be rude!
A/N: The conversation will be going on in 3rd person now, but still in Lydia's POV... just thought you'd like to know...
'What?... What was that?!' The female voice rang again through Lydia's head.
'Poor girl, I hope she's alright.' Lydia thought, Looking around her to see if she could see the owner of these thoughts.
'Who said that?! What is going on?! Leave me alone! Get out of my head!'The Voice rang again, as if she could hear Lydia.
'What is that girl going on about?' Lydia thought, beginning to get confused.
'You! The one who keeps thinking in my head' Lydia sat straight up looking desperately around trying to find the girl, Her frightened voice had turned rather rude in Lydia's opinion.
'You... You can hear me?' She thought, seeing if the Voice could hear her.
'Yes, I can hear you! How the hell are you in my head?!' Oh my Lord! Well this was new for her.
'Me?! How the bloody hell can you hear me?!' She thought back to the Voice.
'Well I don... Oh NO! They've caught my scent I need to run!...' The Voice went from rude to frightened again
'Um, who has caught your scent dear?'Lydia asked in thought, being polite as possible of course, trying to sooth the poor girl.
'The monsters who just killed the love of my life.' Lydia could think of nothing to think, so, obviously, thought the first thing that popped into her head.
'You should run then.'
'What on earth do you think I'm doing?!'The Voice was being rude again.
'No need to be rude... Um, what did you say your name was again?' Lydia couldn't take it anymore she had to correct the Voice on its rudeness.
'I didn't. Now get out of my head!' But alas she didn't listen to her.
'I don't think I can do that now deary, and my name is Lydia Van Alen, now whats yours?' Lydia had decided to try the polite route again.
'Elizabeth Nicole' Ah, finally she was getting somewhere. A vision of blurred trees shot through her head as if Lydia was doing the running herself.
'Oh, I see that you are in the woods.'Elizabeth ignored Lydia's attempt at small talk, but Lydia decided to try again.
'Those trees look very... North American... I like the North, though I prefer Europe to America...' And would you believe the nerve of this Elizabeth person? She cut Lydia off in the middle of a thought?!
'Is this normal for you?'
'What? The ranting or the 'thought conversations', because if you mean ranting then yes I...' but Elizabeth had cut her off again.
'No, the 'thought conversations' as you put it.'
'Well no. But I am use to having others thoughts in my head as I can read minds, yet I'm not use to being able to 'think' back to them.'
'...How can you read minds?' Elizabeth asked.
'Oh,... that,... well, you see, the thing is...' Apparently Elizabeth likes cutting off people.
'Could you just tell me already?!'Elizabeth sounded irritated.
'Fine no need to be pushy,... I'm a vampire' After Lydia revealed to Elizabeth what she was it was as if a door was shut in Lydia's face, the door to Elizabeth's mind. And a faint whisper came through the door, like a ghost of a thought...
'Than it is too dangerous for you to be in my mind...'
'Well that was rude!' Lydia was officially annoyed, but very curious..
'Now why would it be dangerous for me to be in your mind deary? What are you? A werewolf? That would explain the rudeness and I would be repulsed if you were. A werewolf in my mind, how ghastly! But no,.. A witch perhaps? Again no the only witches in North America are the Austen's an assassin was sent to kill the last of they're line. A mortal then? But that would be silly a mortal couldn't shut me out of their mind. An Elf maybe? Oh dear Lizzie you must give me a hint. A zombie, but a zombie can't love, or run for that matter. A vampire like me? That would be a logical explanation for how fast you run, but why would you shut me out of your mind if you were a vampire Lizzie? Oh, Are you a ninja?! I've always wanted to know a ninja! My brother claims at time to be one,... but I'm almost sure he is lying. A pirate?! OH! I loved the days when the pirates ruled the seas! I had a mortal lover at that time you know,... Captain Jack Sparrow, oh what a man! But if my Jack can't be alive than YOU CAN'T BE A PIRATE! So sorry Lizzie, lost my temper there for a moment, do forgive me. Now where was I? Oh, a giant! But you were running too fast and to close to the ground to be a giant. A dwarf! yes that's... no dwarves cant run that fast... well maybe a...'
Running through the woods in North America.
Elizabeth's POV
'I wonder if she can still hear me. Lydia?' But Lydia continued to rant. I tried a few more times and when I was sure that Lydia couldn't hear me and wasn't just ignoring me I let myself 'think' again 'Good it worked' and I continued to run.
The sun was beginning to set and I haven't slept in days. And this Lydia girl wouldn't be quiet! She kept going on and on about what I could be, then getting off topic, asking for me to forgive her, getting back on topic, just to go off it again. It gets annoying after awhile, especially now that she is repeated herself for the fifth time. She has also told me of assassins coming after me but I knew of that already. I looked down and noticed that I was starting to look as if I was decaying. I needed to sleep and have a meal. So I ran, searching for a place to sleep or an animal to drain. After draining a mountain lion I stumbled upon his den.
'Perfect if they pass they'll smell the mountain lion, not me!' I happily laid down on the dirt and closed my eyes drifting into a frightful dream...
