Chapter 1 - prologue

***3000 Years Ago***

" Lady Iris..... Lady Iris....." The man called. " My Lady, you zoned out again. What exactly is bothering you."

" Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that again.... Call in the next person." Iris said absentmindedly.

They were in an elegant office. It was very big with shelves of different scrolls of different sizes all around. Iris's table and chair were on very predictable places since offices like these were almost the same everywhere in their realm.

" My Lady, I simply cannot allow that until you have told me what exactly us going on with you." The man said firmly

" David, are you my advisor or my doctor?" she asked cocking a brow at him.

" I deeply apologise my lady but I can't let you go on like this. It's not good for you.If something happens to you and the races fall into chaos, what then?"

" That is precisely what I am thinking about. I appointed a king for the vampires and an Alpha for the lycans long ago. You are in charge of the witches. I know the three of you are devoted to me. You don't have the short lifespan of those humans. And the most important thing is that I trust you."

After she said those words she summoned the rulers of the two races she mentioned and after a few seconds they appeared.

" My Lady." They said in unison.

" My Lady, what are you trying to say. Please be direct with your words."

Iris sighed and rested her forehead on two fingers and David suddenly felt uneasy. The direction this conversation seemed to be going didn't feel right.

" I'm trying to say.......I want to self-detonate." She said with a tired look.

"....."

" I am tired David. I've been alive for two millennia now. I can't do this anymore. Aside from ruling you, what is my purpose...." She waited for him to answer but when he didn't she spoke again,

" I don't have one, or at least I don't know any other purpose. I just want to rest. I trust your races can live up to my expectations and keep the peace until I am reborn. I will leave it to the rulers.

David I hearby declare that your control over the witches would be passed down to your offspring. Cole rule the vampires well. Drake....you know what to do. One more thing..... David make sure you protect Anastasia and her soon-be-born baby. No harm must come to them."

" Yes my Lady." They all replied and went down on one knee bowing. Iris's body and soul began to dissipate slowly. She smiled softly and said, "Don't disappoint me."

***Present***

I am a girl pure and true to myself...well that's what people used to say about me. My name is Evie Evergreen and I am 18 years old. I was born in America but I've lived in Ghana my entire life.

I had a pretty good life going for me in Ghana. I mean, I was one of those cool girls who was friends with everybody. I had four best friends. Even though they were all boys, they were the brothers I never had. Their names were Marvin, Jason, Christin and Andreà.

My parents told me one day that we were going to move to America, that we would have a better life there. I argued with them for weeks that I didn't want to leave Ghana and my life here but all they said was that their decision was final.

Saying goodbye to everything was going to be next to impossible but I didn't have a choice. They said we would be leaving in the summer.

This was absolutely going to lead to a life I never said I wanted. This was going to be the absolute worst summer ever.......or so I thought.
