    I was fifteen when I first got the news. My mother and father said that it was a blessing sent down from the heavens to make me a better person and learn the different ways of cultures that normal people couldn’t fulfill during a lifetime. But, I thought that it was retched curse given to me from the devil himself used to manipulate the minds of people.

            My story is not a pleasant one, nor is it worth reading for I write it to you in the darkness of an uncharted cave afraid for anyone to no my secret of the treacherous life I lead. I write hear all of my explorations, feelings and observations.

            To start off with let me introduce myself to you newcomers. I am Leila Alcazar. My whole family has been bestowed with a curse to have more knowledge than others, Shape shift, and we are immortal if we follow certain rules. You may not think so but you’ve probably met or read about many Alcazars’ in your life time. Like the famous “Albert Einstein” he was really an Alcazar but changed his name so that he could stand out from the crowd. He as you probably know was a genius but made the mistake of announcing his work and his inventions publicly. To stay immortal an Alcazar must keep all their work to themselves and then, somehow let the world know about it. Poor Uncle Einstein didn’t follow the rules and is now buried somewhere in the ground just like all the other normal people. Also if you do find someone to love you must remain with them forever if you choose not to you began to slowly age and death comes before you know it.

            In my discoveries I learned about global warming and slipped my notes into a science lab in Russia. The cure for cancer has been found many times by my family. But those stupid mortals always try the experiments the wrong way. I have slowly begun to master the art of shape shifting though it is very difficult. You must first master their personality and then work on their physical appearance. My Father had once tried to shift to be President Bush, but could not master his annoying southern accent.

            I live in Transylvania with my cousin Armani. He is the only person in my family who feels the same way as I do. He helps me with discoveries and he is the only person that I feel comfortable around. He will be gone soon though. He found his sole mate walking on the beach with her. She’s mortal so she’ll have to go though the initiation process and become one of us. I feel bad for her but Armani’s happy he says that she brings back life in his heart.

            It’s nice that he found someone but I don’t think I’m into all that mushy stuff. I prefer to just live as I am and not deprive some guy of his life to be with me. I think that’s wrong to do such a thing. They’ll be 255 and still look really young. They’ll never know the feeling of getting old, turning 50 and having weird back spasms. My mom says that I’ll live in sorrow if I don’t find someone, but I already am sad so what’s the difference.  Who cares if I live my life in dread I hate this life and I wish that I could be done with it!
