Author's Note-Don't hurt me terribly for the places that I've used. They
worked well.

Present day. The two walked around in a circle.
"Charley, leave me alone. I have enough torment without you. I am living with the fact that I was there at those times. I'm living with the truth that I'll probably be the last survivor in every account and noone will ever know," Serena explained.
"Oh no you won't. In most, if not all cases, there are a few survivors left. I will kill you now and therefore you won't be the last," Charley said.
Duncan and Amanda arrived on the scene and looked at the two as they started to fight.
"That must be Charley," Amanda mused as Serena looked over at them.
"Stay out of this!" she cried. "This is my fight."
"We can help you," argued Amanda.
As this was occuring, Charley pulled out a gun and shot Serena twice. She staggered a bit before she fell to the ground. Amanda ran over to her as Duncan faced Charley.
"Get her out her Amanda," Duncan told her.
Amanda unexpectedly felt another Immortal nearby as she knelt by Serena and looked up.
"Yeah, it's me. Let's get her out of here," he quietly told her.
The two helped her and took her away.
Duncan clashed with Charley for a minute before hurrying to join Amanda.

Serena awoke to find herself lying in the bed. She heard voices outside the room.
"Listen Duncan, if i have this one correct, we barely have anything on her. No first death info, first spotted in 1980 when she and another fought and Charley showed up,"came Joe's voice.
"We'll have to ask her than, for more," Duncan said.
Serena walked out of the room only to find a sword to her neck.
"Tell us why Charley is after you,"Amanda demanded.
"No. Kill me if I care. Charley can't get me then if you do," she replied.
"You can tell us Serena," Joe said as Serena looked at him.
"You...know about us?" she asked curiously and Joe nodded.
"I'm a Watcher. We watch you," he explained.
She looked between the three of them.
"I talk better without a sword to my neck," she replied as Amanda took away the sword. "Elkaryene Shymel."
The three were surprised as they looked between each other.
"What?" asked Duncan, not understanding.
"That's my real name. You probably know that Charley's an historian and that he's after me. It's because of all the places I've been. All the people, the things I've seen. For instance, I first met Charley and Scott...on the deck of Carpathia in April, 1912," she started.
The three gasped and were all in total surprise.
"You don't mean...the Titanic?" Amanda asked.
"I do mean Titanic. I have also been on the Lusitania when it was bombed and sunk, Halifax, Nova Scotia during the explosion and at Pearl Harbor when it was bombed by the Japanese. I kept changing my identity or else be found out by mortals," Elkaryene explained.
"So Scott became yout teacher?" Duncan wanted to make sure.
"Yes, he did. He taught me how to use a sword. Up until then, I didn't know how to. The first Immortal I met didn't exactly want to teach me swordfighting," she said.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa wait a minute. First Immortal?" Amanda asked.
"This man was the first Immortal I ever met before I met Scott and Charley. He told me what I was, told me the rules and everything else that was relevant Duncan," she said.
Duncan was very surprised. He walked up to her.
"Hold it. My name. How did you know my name?" he demanded.
She looked at him with a sigh.
