Chapter one
Year: 1826
Hazel
I ran after Lamia as she sliddered on the ground, hissing at us as she tried to escape.
Lamia is a half women, half serpent that eats children, we had been hunting her for two hundred years, dying by her hands and reincarnating as new people but Fiona, Azura and I always managed to find each other.
my new name was Ruth but who cares, I'm Hazel today, yesterday and possibly forever. this is the last time I'm hunting her because I've already wasted five life times hunting her and I'm going to kill her, today.
Lamia suddenly turned around and whips her snake like tail at me but I duck and dodged the blow that would have probably killed me and that would have been a problem because if I die, Fiona and Azura had only a day to live before they dropped dead.
lamia sliddered up a house, climbing on to the roof of the cottage.
"Fiona, Azura, hurry!!" I yelled as I levitated up the roof, following lamia. "block her on the other side" she tried to escape but as soon as the girls blocked her path turned around and hissed at me. "oh, go hiss at someone else" I spat angrily at her.
"why don't you let me go and i will?"
"wait, you can talk?!" Azura asked surprised. i mean, i was too.
"of course i can" lamia replies ans frowns at her. "why did you think i couldnt?"
"because you never speak and we've hunted you for a really long time" Fiona says to her.
"uhm, child eating monster to kill" I point out.
"you know, while I'm speaking I should tell you that monster is such a bad word to generalize us with... some of the creatures in there with us were actually nice" she says and I roll my eyes at her. "well, that was rude"
"drinking baby blood is even ruder" i pulled out my dagger and lunge at her, stabbing her in the chest sending us both flying off the roof but lucky for me I can fly, she fell down the roof and landed on the ground, turning to ashes. 'you too were seriously having a full on conversation with the prey' I said as I saw Fiona and Azura.
"the prey?" Fifi say.
"she said she didn't like being called a monster" I say with a shrug.
"and prey is better?" Azura asks.
soon after we were banished to earth, we began our hunt and started looking for all the creatures Azura freed but no matter how much we try we never seem to even get anywhere near the darkness, it always manage to escape us but the other creatures weren't so lucky.
it was always easy finding the other creatures, thanks to Fiona. she was half witch and half Fae, she was banished because the other Fae thought she was an "abomination" but she isn't to Azura and I.
"Witch!!!" A woman yelled as she saw me. Human. "Witch!!, she was flying in the sky, she's a witch!!" oh goodness. what did I just do?.
I quietly levitated to the ground. 'i am not a witch, I am a Fae' I corrected. humans, small minded creatures
'fae or witch, you're all evil creatures' two men grabbed my arm and pulled me along with them. i could easily fight them off but the news would spread and the hunter would become the hunted.
soon i was tied to a stake, a pile of wood underneath me. 'Burn the witch!!Burn the witch!!!!' they chanted until a bald man threw a stake on fire on the pile of wood.
"i will see you in a few years" I said to Fiona and Azura before the flame caught on my body and I was sent to the usual room where I waited to be reborn, It was like a limbo, no after life just darkness.
I hate humans!

Maria Clay
I smiled as I took my baby from the nurse, she was so beautiful and her eyes were a beautiful Gray colour. i don't know where she got those from but they were georgous.
Mayura, that's what I'll call her.
Seventeen years later
Mayura(Hazel)
I threw my shoe at my younger brother, Adrian as he ran down the stairs. he kept touching my stuff and could probably end up hurting himself with a magical item, so I actively try to scare him off and keep him away from my room. "mom, tell your child to stay away from my room" I shouted and jumped on the banister, sliding down it, jumping in front of him and blocking his path.
'Mom!Mom!" he screams as he sees he has no escape
"Mayura!!!" mom yelled. "Mayura, leave your brother alone"
"tell him to stay the hell out of my room" I yelled.
"i didn't go in your room, I was at the doorway" Adrien returned. "also, she's hiding something in there, I can feel it!!!"
"your sister isnt hiding anything" she says ans pars his head "why don't you go up to your room and I'll order you some muffins for breakfast" he smiled and went upstairs, blowing a raspberry at me as he left. 'can't you go one day without fighting with him'
'but-'
"all I want is for you two to stop acting like you're enemies" she says and pats my head too. "I'll get you some muffins, do you think Tori would want some too?" Tori or should I say Fiona was our maids daughter, somehow the curse managed to place us close to each other and it was easier for us to remember each other.
"yeah, she would, when has Tori ever turned down food" I say laughingly. "but tell your child to stay out of my room or I will curse him"
"sweetie, you say that so much that I'm starting to think you're an actual witch" mom said.
"or a fae"
"what's a fae?" mom asks as she grabbed her phone and starts looking for the bakery's phone number.
"nevermind... the number is saved on your phone as the bakery, I don't think it's that hard to find"
"oooh, are we ordering muffins?" I flinched on hearing Fiona's voice. "sorry" she says as she sees my shock.
"do you want to give me a heart attack?!" I yelled.
"jeez, I said I was sorry" she takes my hand and pulls me to the other room. "i tracked something down to abandoned amusement park a few miles from here"
'what?' I asked.
"Erinyes" she said. Again with these things. They are furies of Vengeance, they take revenge for those who can't get revenge for themselves and they always take it overboard, the last one killed a school bully, I would know because I went to that school in the early 90's.
"can we please skip this one, we'll be late for our first day of school" I said worriedly. even though I'm a Fae, I'm also someone's daughter and I have to go to school.
'okay we'll go after school, maybe I can find a good d**k to f**k at your school' the said and licked her lips.
"eww, stop saying stuff like that!" I said and she giggled. "any luck with finding Azura?"
'kind of' she said. 'Remember my umcle works as a security gaurd for the Calvin's right?'
'As in the Calvins in competition with my daddy?' I say. my Father, Martinez Clay, is a fashion designer who designs men and women clothing while mom is a doctor, a gynocologist to be precise.
'hmm mnn' she hummed a reply. 'so, a week ago, the Calvin's youngest daughter, the one who doesn't come out much, Amber, was found knocked out in an abandoned warehouse with dozens of things set on fire, but there was nothing flammable there'
'so?' I asked.
"Mayura, it was the same day we hunted down that flame demon and thesame place we found it was less than a mile away from the warehouse Amber was found at" she explains.
'so you're saying the elusive Amber Calvin could be Azura?" I ask frustratedly. I was seventeen already, its been way too long, we ought to have found.each other by now. "but why wouldn't she come out in the open then?' I asked.
"i don't know but that's not just it, my uncle was the person that found her and according to him, her eyes were glowing white" she says and I gasp.
"maybe he was seeing things" I sigh as I see the look she gives me. "we'll look further into it" I said softly.
"no, if Amber is Azura then she should come find us rather than us going to find her" Tori says seriously and then quickly switches her mood. "Hurry up, let's go, I don't want all the big d***s to be taken" I laughed.
"mum's ordering muffins, should we wait or should we just order starbucks on the way" I said blatantly.
"wow, look at you, rich girl, living a lavish life with your parents money" she says.
"hey, when you were born into the Reed family I didn't complain when you were swimming in money' I said.
"true, speaking of the Reed family, I bumped into my former older brother, Regan the other day, can you believe that 38 year old f**k was drunk and was trying flirting with me!! when I was still Rina, I thought he was an i***t but now, I just think he's a perv" she told me. Regan was truly an i***t, a rude pompous fool who I dated in my past life for no good reason.
'but didn't he recognized you?'
"the asshole was wasted" she said. my mind was no longer in the issue of Regan, it was on this so called Amber Calvin, if she was truly Azura, why hadn't she found us yet, surely she must have heard of her father's rivels daughter at least.
Whatever is keeping Azura from coming to us better be important.
