Immortality:
A fate worse than death.
Three people sat quietly in the school's library. It was past time for the children and young adults to turn in for the night, yet no one came to send them off. The light of a candle danced off the walls around them.
"Well its getting late so I'll start my story" Kari said balancing her chair on two legs. The boy's attention was brought to her quickly as she spoke in a quiet voice. "It might take a while so no falling asleep!" Blaise snickered at her pretend stern voice.
"I was born in 1335 in a small village in county Sligo, Ireland…
This captain goes down with the ship
All hands on deck, stand hip-to-hip
I shout the orders, "Shoot to kill!"
I'm dressed to thrill,
I'm dressed to thrill.
'Mamma! Look I drew you a picture!' A small child looked up at a fair woman from her spot on the ground. There was a small drawing etched into the dirt at her feet. The woman came and sat next to the child to admire the lovely picture of a happy family.
'That's beautiful dear, what is it of?' a sweet song voice drifted over the field surrounding them. The woman knew that the child would want to explain the drawing out to her.
'It's of you, me, and papa!' The small girls smile shone brightly making those around her smile as well. 'Mama?' the child said after a pause.
'Yes my love?'
'Why don't the people in the pictures hung up at home have pointy ears like us?' At this the mother scooped the child into her arms and held her close. After a long silence her silky voice spoke out,
'Well, it's because they aren't like us honey, they're humans. We on the other hand are elves, we are born differently and we die differently.'
'Oo, I see' the small child played with her mothers hair.
And all my enemies,
I want their eyes to see,
Their captain walk the plank
Destroy them, rank by rank.
'"My mother and father were elves. We lived in a small town full of muggles; if we went into town we would cover our ears in some way. Though people always thought we were strange because of our radiance, no one ever said much about it. That was until a man by the name John Edwin moved into the village, or actually he was a warlock.
He didn't quite like elves; he was jealous of them…
Sail with me into the setting sun
The battle has been won, but war has just begun
And as we grow, emotion starts to die,
We need to find a way, just to keep our desire alive.
'May I help you?' a man answered the door to his house, his wife and child in the den inside.
'Yes, yes you can' A pain filled scream echoed in the house as the woman hid her child under the stairs. The child watched as her father died from loss of blood and as her mother mourned over his dead body.
'I've researched how to kill an elf. There are only two ways, who would have known? The first, to be stabbed directly in the heart. Two, to have your heart broken. I think that I'll be able to see how both ways work, yes?' A man stepped into the house, speaking to the woman on the floor. She was slowly dieing, her heart turning into black ash no matter how much she thought of her daughter under the stairs. An evil laugh was heard as the man walked over the two bodies and to his carriage, never once knowing there was a third in the house.
Now set the sail to quarter mast,
We'll jump the ship, we'll sink 'em fast.
Men follow me to victory,
Red as the sea,
Red as the sea.
Draco was looking away from the two people at the table. Her story was exactly what he was trying to prevent. He didn't want to see it in his head any more. The vivid images his mind produced where enough to make him cry.
"After that I was taken in by some travelers." Kari continued, saying nothing if she noticed the tears in Draco's eyes and the hard glare Blaise was giving the air around them.
"I lived with them until they died in 1372…
And to the cannons roar,
Their bodies dance ashore,
A pirate's life for me,
I won't go quietly.
'Would you like any more to eat?' a fair maiden watched over the two elderly people in bed. They were sick with the flu, but with their age the doctors did not expect them to live much longer. All the young girl could do was make them comfortable.
'No love, I think that'll do' The man tried to sit up next o his sleeping wife, he motioned for is adopted daughter to come and sit on the bed next to him. 'Please do me one thing before you die'
'Anything.'
'Go to the far east. Follow the legends for me. I wish to see a place of such beauty for my self, though I guess I will soon, no?'

'You already have, there is no place more beautiful then Ireland.'
And to my damsel in distress,
You've made a mess of your new dress
You've made a mess!
An owl hooted loudly outside. Bringing the three back to the present.
"So I did what he asked; I went to Japan. Amusingly enough I quite liked it, and I thought I would hate it! Haha!"
"Why did you think you would hate it?" Draco spoke softly as to not break the air around them.
"…It wasn't Ireland…" Kari said was an amused look on her face. "I was quite adamant that Ireland was the only place I would ever like! I was a naïve child."
Blaise yawned, resting his head in his arms on the table. Draco's eyes were slightly glazed over, his mind some where far away.
"How bout we continue this tomorrow? Yes?" Kari nudged both the boys to attention.
"No! It's getting interesting!" Blaise said through another yawn; Draco put his forehead to the table and slowly drifted in and out. A clock some where in the castle chimed four times signaling the time was 4 am.
After Kari guided the two sleep walking boys to their dorm, she went to the astronomy tower and looked out over the forest. It reminded her of so many places, yet at the same time no where she had ever been.
The sun slowly peeked over the horizon casting light onto the once dark world. A slow smile slid across her pale features as shadows slowly disappeared.
