The road toward true love and immortality {1}
The world has changed. Mortals and immortals are walking the earth.
Hiding there self from the world, the immortals are waiting fore their chance in the shadows of your world! And your mortals have now idea about this.
I'm different from them, tow I'm immortal myself I can walk in the light without fear. I'm a true immortal, I'm a Goddess! My name is Selior, Goddess of love!
You mortals should be thankful that I exist. Me and the other Gods are there to protect your kind from the immortals! You see Vampires and Lycans aren't dangerous as long as someone controls them! So we gave them rules and made superior rulers of there one kind, to control them and live by those rules!
And so it is possible that no mortal knows that they exist!
Except from protecting mortals I have one other job. Protecting the children of Zeus (he's the Big Boss –smile) and leading them toward their true destiny! Biological they aren't his children of course –smile. When they are little Zeus get touched by something in them and recognises them as his children, by giving them several gifts. Those gifts will finally help them to reach their destiny, with a little help off course –smile.
That's not as simple as it seems to be you know, Zeus is rather selfish he never tells us where to find his children, sow I have to search for them myself. Mostly it is already to late when I find one, they are to old, they didn't found their partner … There is so much that can go wrong, and they have only thirty years to walk the earth!
But this is a nice story -smile- I have found one of Zeus' children, a girl and -lucky me- she's only sixteen. So I still have a few years to bring here to her partner. It is like this, if she doesn't find here partner, you could say here true love, before here twentieth birthday she will die before reaching the age of twenty-five. On the other hand if she does she still has to fulfil her destiny! Otherwise she will die before her thirty-fifth birthday. Yes I know, it isn't fair, but hey, I told you Zeus wasn't the easiest person on the planet. He seas it as a privilege to be one of his children so they have to work for it.
So the girl.
She's nice a normal teenager, kind of pretty for a mortal -smile. But I will need to give here a push in de right detection. I will place here on the right spot so she can meet her sole-mate.

"True Zacharel, wake up!" my mum jelled from downstairs.
"I'm up!" I jelled back on my way to the bathroom. The sun was shining, of course she was it was September. I hated the sun, I hated it even more than school. I know, I'm not normal. But hey when you would have my skin you would hate the sun too! I had a pale skin, blond hare and bleu-gray eyes. So I always burn when I got in the sun. Beside everyone always was happy in the sun, I hated happy people who surrounded me. They were so optimistic, like when the sun was shining all the bad things in the world didn't matter any-more. It was sick, and I hatted people for being so blind. I'm sorry I didn't want to share my dark view with you, it just happened.
After taken a shower, being dressed and a quick breakfast I took my bike and ride to school, my personal hell. You see there are to many people to be nice to. Not that they ever speak to me. I've a reputation! So they keep there distance. You know they nicknamed me -smile. I'm the Ice Queen, the meanest girl in the hole school. I got that name after rejecting a boy, I really tried to be nice, but it didn't worked. It seemed that I'm not capable to act normal. Don't feel sorry for me, I accepted it a long time ago -smile.
On my way there I picked up Laurie, she was my best and only friend. She always waited for my on the crossroad.
"Hey, Ice Queen!" she jelled.
"Princess!" I greeted back. (short explanation: she's the Ice Princess because she's almost as mean as I am -smile)
"What are you up to?" she asked when she saw my smile.
"I don't know jet. I'm thinking about making no-one cry today, or at least I'm going to try." I admitted and smiled.
"Good luck whit that." Laurie said sarcastic. We both knew I wasn't capable of acting nice, one stupid thing and I would snap and just say or do something and then someone would cry. I know what you're thinking 'What's so fun about making people cry?' Honestly I have no idea, so I'll answer whit a question in return: 'What's so fun about making people smile?' when you got the answer tell me so I can change my lifestyle. But we will come back on it later. The gates of hell are coming in sight.
After a hole day of school, they really should rename it hell, I finally could leave and go to my favourite place. It was the one place where I could calm down. Even Laurie didn't understand my love for the old building filled whit dust and old paper. Right the library -smile. It's the one and only place in the world where I have some peace. I love that building filed with treasures. Reading is the one thing, where I can lose myself and forget who I really was -smile. I know it sounds strange, and I guess you don't understand, but hey nothing lasts forever. So after a while I had home for dinner. My parents both had a busy job so I didn't saw them often. This morning for example, that was my mum over the phone who woke me up and not my mum in person, like you would expect. My dad works for a bank, he's a busy man with a lot of responsibilities. My mum is a doctor she's always at home only not in the privet part of our home. You could say that they both are married to their job. It's not as bad as it sounds, I don't mind to be alone, and I accepted it a long time ago. I get everything I desire, except the company but my parents found something on that -smile. They gave me a pet -smile. Apophis is now tree years with me, I got him when he was tree weeks old. If you wonder Apophis is my cat. I named him after an old Egyptian God. Apophis is the Snake-god of evil and chaos. Every night when Horus -God of haven- sails to the underworld, Apophis attacks his ship, in the form of a snake. That's when Seth -God of evil- interferes and defeats Apophis. You can say Apophis stands against the Gods to undermine their order.
I know who calls his cat after a God? An evil God? Well when you would know Apophis you would understand. I got along very well with him in contrary with the rest -smile. When he doesn't get what he wants he can be a real pain in the ass.
He is the one who waits for me when I got home. He's the one who welcomes me -smile. As usual there was a note on the fridge, that said: "You father has to work late, so do I. Mum. PS: Have a nice dinner." I produced a said smile and opened the fridge to take something to drink. Together whit Apophis I went upstairs to my study room so I could do my homework. Apophis jumped on top of my desk and slept wile I was busy.
After that I went down to eat the meal that our housekeeper prepared for me. I fed my cat and put her plate on the other side of the table. "Bon a petit, mon chéri." I said whit a French accent. Which I picked up after two mounds France, two summers ago (An idea of my parents). I know, that isn't hygienic a cat on the table, but he's the only one who keeps me company so why not. When we finished our meal I put the plates in the sink and went back upstairs to my room to read a book. Apophis jumped on my bed and started washing himself. For who wonders I was reading Shakespeare. I know, such a mean girl, reading Shakespeare. Well I read it because it relaxes me. I loved the idea that their once was a man who wrote those story's, like he himself believed in True Love. I'm sorry to disturb this moment, but I believe there is not such a thing as love. I think it's something to dream off at night and to hope fore when you are little and still believe in fairytales. Because that's the only place where love truly exists, in Fairytales. But, hey, that's my opinion.
After a wile I led my book away and went to sleep. To go to the place were I found true love, in my dreams.

Seliors P.o.v.:
There is something you don't know about the girl. Or better what no one knows about here, even she doesn't know it. She isn't mortal. She's a fallen angel.
An angel who left paradise to live a mortal life on earth. Only to do sow she had to leave her wings in heaven. I didn't know this myself, otherwise I would have told you.
I found out today. You see when angels remove their wings that action leaves two scares across their back, at the place where the wings used to be attached. Together with their wings they leave their memory behind so I don't know why she left paradise. But knowing she was capable of touching Zeus with her story, it must be very taking. Maybe I'll find out one day.
There is only one thing that I didn't understand, if Zeus knew she was a fallen angel why did he recognised her as his child. Now she would never be capable to return toward heaven. Something very bad must have been happened to her when she was an angel. I mean if even Zeus didn't want her to get back, then it most have been very bad. But then again who am I to judge Zeus' actions? Indeed no one. The only thing I'm allowed to judge is how to lead the girl toward here destiny.

True's P.o.v.:
And than about tree mounds later the bad news came. My mum had an offer she couldn't refuse. She would start working for a private hospital. Number off patients: one! Some rich, almost royal, ass-hole who had his own hospital. My mum would become his private doctor at all times. That mend we would move in with the rich-ass. In his castle, of course. The bad side off all this. We needed to move to the Scottish Highlands. Because that's where the idiot lived.
So a few questions to my great parents: "What will happen to me? What will happen to my education? How about my friends, okay friend..."
Their brilliant answers: "You will come whit us, of course. You can start at the local school, we already took care of it. You can make new friends." That last answer they said with a big smile. You see they think Laurie has a bad influence on me, because she's my only friend. The truth is that I am the one with bad influence on people around me.
But one thing was clear after this short conversation with my parents, that found place over the web cam. I would go along with their plans, because their was no point of discussion.
Laurie almost freaked out when she heard that I had to move away, with my parents. After promising that I would call, text and e-mail her every day she calmed down, a little.
Lucky me I could take Apophis with me. At least I would have one friend whit me their in the middle of nowhere. The one thing I hoped for was that they would have a library, that wouldn't be to much to ask for, would it?
Moving away went faster than I thought it would be. In no time or stuff was packed and everything was ready. Of course I would miss home, but then again I didn't believed in home. At least I thought I didn't found home jet. I was a travelling spirit on my way home. I know it sounds stupid, but I truly believe it. So who knows, maybe I was moving in the right direction. I truly doubted that, I always believed that I had an Egyptian or Celtic spirit. That last might turn to be true. We'll see.

Seliors P.o.v.:
So I pointed her in the right direction, for now that's all I can do. And I have to admit that she went on very well with the plan. I hadn't expected that. Of course she didn't liked it. Witch normal girl would? But at the end it would be for her own best. And of course for the best of everyone, although mostly for me. I'm sorry, but being a goddess doesn't make me perfect. Only partly –smile.

True's P.o.v.:
So here I am, the Scottish Highlands. First opinion: I hate it! One positive thing: I don't know. To be fare, I think I can't find one. Oh wait I found one, there is almost no sun, it's cloudy. Yes, that certainly is something positive. If their was a library then their might be a small chance that I would survive this place.
