In the Point Of View of Reira Collens:

I held my breath for as long as I could.

Halfway into the Deep dingy river was where I was safe from the crazed psychos. Well, for now.

I kept my tired legs moving In the water and my arms gliding against the liquid as I gazed up at the surface seeing lights flicker around. They're searching for me. I'll resurface when they're gone, I thought. I needed to get some air fast, I don't know how much longer I could really take!

My eyes stayed gazing up on the flickering lights that just wouldn't go away. I felt like I was down here in the freezing water for a while now. I felt the beating of my heart start to slow and my lungs claw at my insides for air.

As I began to swim further up a little I had noticed that the wavering lights that lit the surface of the water slowly started to fade away. I slowly poked my headed from the water and scanned the area to see that envy and her crazed killing buddies were officially out of sight. I took the opportunity to fully resurface and gasp for air as a cold breeze hit my face. I slicked my ash brown hair back and began to swim to shore.

I just wanted to collapse. To sleep. To be at peace somewhere and not be harassed by the hunt. Would you like to know who and what the hunt actually is? Well, the hunt is an some sort of illegal screwed up organization full of scientists and insane blood thirsty killers. And I've got things inside of me that they go delirious for.

I wanna ask you something, would you believe me if I told you I held the gift of dying and coming back to life? Would you turn me in? Or keep my secret on lockdown. I know it seems a little crazy to believe at first, but yes. I am immortal. I don't age. I don't grow old. None of that. The thing is I'm one of the rare immortals. Instead of just one time spore inside of me, the one I have decided to go through some. .mutation and multiply. I've got tons of these things inside of me.

Basically, I'm the very first Immortal who has ever obtained something like that.

That is to say, the hunt want their hands on me so they can cut me open and snatch all of the orbs from the inside and throw my body with the other corpses they've picked through. The hunt is greedy. Disgusting. Demented.

I finally reached the shore and crawled up the steep hill, away from the water. I panted quietly as I plopped onto the gritty earth and rested my aching limbs. I had to get back to my apartment. I can't hang around here all night. I scanned the perimeter one more time, making sure nobody was around. I sighed in relief to see no one and only hear the quiet breeze whistling through the night.

Once I felt decent enough to get up and moving again I made my way back into the partially lit timberland.

I shivered as I made my way through the forest, rubbing my arms as I heard my teeth chatter. I was freezing.

Having so many situations like this in life isn't easy to handle. Why can't I just live a normal life with a secret that didn't have to be known by such sickening people? It's always something I ask myself on the regular.

I gazed up at the half moon that was somewhat bright. I began to get lost in my thoughts as I focused on the path to get back to the road that lead back to the city of San Diego, California.

- A few long minutes later -

I stammered into the lurid home I called my apartment. Don't get me wrong, it was nice and fit for at least two people. There was nice painted creamy white colored walls, a small living room with a love seat couch, tv, and a mini bookshelf, A kitchen with a mini dinning table and two chairs on ether side, a bathroom, and my bedroom. It was a nice comfy stay and it's a huge relief because the rent for me is cheap and was being paid by my friend Lilith. She knew of my gift and issues. Therefore, she decided to take a weight off of my shoulders. I insisted that she let me thank her in any way possible, but she wasn't having it.

I sighed heavily and turned, locking the door before taking off my wet, filthy beat up converse. I then trudged to my bathroom and peeled off my drenched clothes after starting up a warm shower. I then stepped into the downpour with my shampoo and body wash as I let the warm beads of water hit my skin, making me relax.

After my rejuvenating shower I tied my natural, wavy hair into a bun and plopped myself into my queen sized bed. I sighed deeply before letting my heavy eyelids seal shut.

I'll update soon. :) XO
