Chapter 1: Wake-up Calls
Another day, another night. Endlessly going on until there are none of us left. The outcasts, those thrown away by their own races. All because of laws or reasons. Gods, demons and those in between. Over time our numbers grew then they fell. Over and over again. I watched it as it happened, after all I was one of them. One of the ones cast from my home. One of those abandoned by their family and friends to live eternity in the mortal realm. Or until we are killed.
Long ago we were worshipped as heroes, protectors or even gods, for those of us who were not to begin with. Though that was a time long passed. The time for heroes and gods has long since passed. Now no one… no human believes in us and those that do, never know how to find proof. After all, we are only legends.
"Kee! Get up! It is your last first day of school. After this you can live until you have to go back to school again" shouted a female voice from outside of my door.
"Shut it! I am up already Ish!" I yelled back.
"Do not sass me girl, I am far older than you and am a Goddess" she scorned at me through the closed door.
"I don't care who you are or how old you are! Your civilization died a looooong time ago" I said as I closed my journal and started to get ready for my senior year of high school… again. Being immortal is not all it is cracked up to be and the fact that I am currently living in a house of Halflings, half demons or demi-gods, gods, demons and a few humans. Oh and all of them are women. Not my cup of tea. After all there are about 17-20 of us all under one roof. It was like college all over again. Not to mention that I now have to find another damn major. Not to mention a university I haven't been to.
People leave and people come. It is the same over and over again and I am powerless to stop it. Never ending and never fad…
"Damn it! Give me back my towel Kagura!" yelled a young voice from down the hall as I stepped out my door and nearly ran into Kagura, one of the humans, running with a towel trailing behind her and Tsuki, a Ningyo Halfling, chasing her in all of her naked glory.
I took a deep breath and let it as I looked up through the sky light in the ceiling. Today is going to be a long day" I said out loud to no one in particular.
"You can say that again" someone said beside me and I looked over to see Rusa, who is a water nymph, ruffling her singed dark green hair. She looked over at me with her vibrant aqua eyes. "Siobhan has a cold. I really don't see why I can't room with Tsuki. I just don't do well with fire, especially not a fire spitter" she said as she walked to the bathroom.
I looked over to the stairs to see Nephtys storming up the stairs, drenched with water. "Ala, I swear if you are the one trying to make that monsoon I will take you to the underworld myself and I will bypass Anubis if I have to!" She shouted so loud that the entire block could have heard her. Then she entered one of the doors down the corridor and slammed it shut. I heard some words and rustling before the screaming began and Ala rushed out of her room. Though Nephytis was close on her heals.
Nephytis, the Egyption protective goddess of the dead. Ala, a demon bearing her same name, causes bad weather whenever she was in the mood for it; like the first day of school. She was one of the youngest here, where as I was the oldest. That is besides the goddesses. Besides Kagura there is Yuki and Ayume. They wanted to know more about all of the mythology from different parts of the world, but were just as different as each and every one of us, supposedly, non-existent creatures.
Granted, not all of us went to school. It was just those of us who couldn't alter our ages to look older. In other words the halflings and some of the demons. The gods are lucky bastards.
I walked down stairs to eat breakfast then I chose my charm to conceal myself. A black metal raven feather on a leather string with cream and dark green beads made of jade and ivory above the feather. Each of us had to wear them. They not only gave us a human appearance, but also reigned in our powers when we were in public. They just made life in the human realm so much easier.
I went upstairs to get my uniform on, I hated them, and doo my hair. I looked in the mirror in my room and what looked back at me was a teenager with black-blue hair and a dark red streak running through it. My eyes are a deep emerald green like the hills of my homeland. My skin is pale and flawless, or so I've been told. I smiled at myself as my fangs glistened in the light and my dark pink lips framed them. No I am not a vampire. No that is Eva and Marya is the werewolf.
I am a Halfling that was thrown away by their parent and cast out from home…
"I do not want to be late! Come on we need to make it to the train!" yelled yet another female voice said.
"I know Shishi!" I yelled, grabbed my pendant and was out the door. Time to start senior year… again.
A/N: well let's see where this goes, shall we?
