Chapter 1: A New Life?
Sacred Heart Hospital.
Room 312
A lone body of a young woman laid motionless on the hospital bed.
Her chart reads:
Name: Charlotte Radcliff
Age: 24 years old
Admitted February 12, 2008 at age 21
No one knew where she was from. A local farmer claimed he had found her in his pasture with nothing but a piece of paper than read: "Charlotte Radcliff, 21 years old". The farmer took the girl to the hospital and the doctor examined her body and found severe brain injuries along with several broken ribs and a broken arm but there was still a heartbeat. They all expected her to not live through the night. Instead, Charlotte hung on for 3 years in a comatose state.
Until one fateful morning, Charlotte's eyes began to flutter open. She had no idea where she was, or what had happened to her all she knew was that her whole body felt paralyzed and she couldn't speak. An overwhelming fear swept over her as she tried to scream for help but nothing came out of her mouth.
Just then a nurse came in and yelled "Oh my goodness the girl is awake!" then she quickly rushed over to the bed and helped Charlotte calm down.
"Hey it's okay sweetie, you are alright just been in a coma for 3 years..just calm down, shhh..."
The doctor came in soon after and explained to Charlotte why she couldn't move or speak and what had really happened to her.
" ...So, we can take you through some therapy and get your arms and legs moving and hopefully you can regain your speech as well. Do you remember anything about yourself?"
Charlotte sadly shook her head and wondered if she would ever get out of this place..But Charlotte swallowed hard and decided to just accepted the hard road ahead of her.
The next few months went by as a blur to Charlotte. She had regained most of her limb movements and was able to talk a mile a minute now.
As Charlotte was getting ready for bed one night, a nurse walked in clutching a letter in her hands. She handed over the letter and Charlotte opened it in confusion.
Dear Charlotte,
I have some important information disclosed in this letter that you must not tell anyone about. You, my dear are about to receive the secret to a very special gift. This gift has been kept a secret for thousands of years and is only granted to those who can prove their potential power and resilience. This gift is immortality, however you must complete a series of challenges before you obtain it. I have chosen you because I could not complete it myself and I have high hopes that through you the Immortal Dynasty shall be completed successfully. You have conquered all odds and survived, I hope you shall do the same with this next challenge. With this, you shall receive more instructions once you have found the piece of land left for you at 15 Summerhill Court. Best of luck to you.
Sincerely,
Alexander Lancaster
Charlotte sat there in silence, soaking in all the information Alexander Lancaster had told her. She had to admit it did sound appealing being able to live forever, even if it seemed hard to achieve. In the end, she decided it would really be in her best interest to accept this guy's challenge and start a new life.
" I mean, why not right? It's not like I know anyone in this town anyways and even if I did I wouldn't remember them."
The next week Charlotte said goodbye to the only home she knew and packed up her meager belongings. She traveled to the land that was stated in the letter, she found another set of instructions in the mailbox that gave her a layout of all the challenges she was to complete.
"Hmm..So I guess the first thing on my checklist is to find a spouse?"

Okay guys, I'm sorry it took me SO long to start a new Dynasty. I have been really really busy (still am, but I made time for you guys
) with life and it's test week at school.
I tried a different twist with this story just to keep y'all entertained. So tell me what you think! If you hate it, suck it up (jk)
I'll have more updates soon!
