Alex, short for Alexandrina Rose Carnarvon-Emsworth, is named for her parents Rose and Alexander and their family names.
She's a classical beauty with luminous skin, a regal aquiline profile, an athletic body and the rarest hazelly blue eyes that change color with her moods, the sun and moonlight! She's intelligent and witty, confident and driven, a certified tomboy, sometimes brash, and definitely impulsive and oftentimes reckless, and most importantly, decidedly unattached and single!
Today was a day like any other day and she had no idea that the course of her life is about to be altered in a dramatic, significant, soul-stirring and epic way!
So where is life about to take Alex? Want to share in her journey towards love?
Author's Note
This story is inspired by the Lyrics to the song "Believer" by Imagine Dragons and is Open Fan Fiction ( #openff ) based on the amalgamation of a few characters.
It's a first person narrative of a story about a privileged and orphaned girl who becomes a woman, her meeting the world, trials and tribulations, becoming a believer in everlasting relationships and finding her true love and soulmate!
**And no, it's not my story, not even close, that would be hubris and that's not my ethos**
I'm glad you've read this far and hope you'd join in Alex's journey! Hope you enjoy reading my work and as always, thanks for spending your time with me!
I'm very excited, nervous and terrified to attempt this work... so please share your thoughts, follow, vote, add to list and comment on the story!

"Believer" by Imagine Dragons Lyrics and Video
- First things first
I'ma say all the words inside my head,
I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh ooh,
The way that things have been, oh ooh
- Second thing second
Don't you tell me what you think that I can be
I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea, oh ooh
The master of my sea, oh ooh
I was broken from a young age
Taking my sulking to the masses
Write down my poems for the few
That looked at me, took to me, shook to me, feeling me
Singing from heartache from the pain
Taking my message from the veins
Speaking my lesson from the brain
Seeing the beauty through the pain
Oh let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from Pain!
- Third things third
Send a prayer to the ones up above
All the hate that you've heard has turned your spirit to a dove, oh ooh
Your spirit up above, oh ooh
I was choking in the crowd
Building my rain up in the cloud
Falling like ashes to the ground
Hoping my feelings, they would drown
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
'Til it broke up and it rained down
It rained down, like
My life, my love, my drive, it came from Pain!
- Last things last
By the grace of the fire and the flames
You're the face of the future, the blood in my veins, oh ooh
The blood in my veins, oh ooh
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
'Til it broke up and it rained down
It rained down, like
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
You break me down, you built me up, believer, believer
I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from Pain
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer!
