Chapter 1- In a beautiful country

In hustle and bustle of New York’s airport landed a young girl from an entirely different world to a world that was not hers, the minute she landed, she felt happiness surging through her veins. Since she was a kid, she had always dreamt of moving to the states just like many other young adults in the world. New York was her favorite, after she was done with the immigration, she got out of the airport and inhaled NYC’s first breath of air, this moment will forever be etched in her mind. This is it, she thought to herself, she cannot go back, whatever troubles she is going to face will be her own.

She hailed a taxi and headed to her room, she was lost in thought looking at the beautiful city, then she remembered her loving parents’ words, “be careful sweety, remember, we are always here for you and will always be,” her eyes were already filled with tears remembering her family back home. She is very close to her parents and brother; they loved her so much. She missed them already.

She took a taxi and reached her apartment; her roommates are sweet and welcomed her with open arms. “Hi, this is Alzea Galanis, the one that responded to your Facebook ad”, she introduced herself to her soon-to-be roommate who opened the door for her. Her roommate was stunned as she was not expecting to see an Indian girl at the door. “I never met an Indian with a Greek-sounding name”, said her roommate and moved to give space for Alzea to enter.  “Yeah!! I get that a lot, my mom is Indian, and my dad is from Greece, hence the first and last name, but trust me I am Indian”.

Alzea is your typical girl, 5’4, with olive skin, dark and long hair, beautiful eyes, and the feel of a girl next door, a smile that’s innocent that anybody could take a liking to her. To put it into words, she has a mind of a devil and the body of an angel, yet she is very relatable to everyone in the real world.  Her mixed-race features shined through her, anyone would agree that this woman is beautiful inside and out.

She settled down, arranging her stuff neatly into her room. The room was small, but you could say it is comfortable for New York Standards. She chitchatted with her roommates a bit who offered food, after gulping her food down, she started looking for part-time work so that she wouldn't be a burden to her parents, after all, New York City is expensive. As determined and smart as she was, finding a job in a new country was extremely hard; she needed connections and someone to show her the ropes. Since her parents had already taken care of her tuition, she only needs to worry about supporting herself. 

She applied to a few places and was satisfied. So, she closed her laptop and went to bed dreaming of her new life in this new country. Little did she know that the journey to this new country will not be easy and will turn her life upside down.

The next day she woke up with a fresh mind and opened her laptop to check her emails. Her roommate walked over to her holding a cup of coffee “What are you doing so early?”, Alzea looked from her laptop and sighed asking “how hard is it to find a job here?”, her roommate chuckled “honey!! This is NYC, you can find anything you are looking for here, ranging from drugs, mafia to sex, and jobs, all you must do is choose your pick”, besides you’ve been only here for a day, what’s the rush?”, Alzea laughed hard, “Mafia sounds interesting, wish I could come across those”, her roommate looked at her, smiled and said, “be careful what you wish for” sipping her coffee.

“Oh Please!! Mafias aren’t real”, her roommate eyed her lifted her eyebrow, and asked looking at her laptop wallpaper, “so you believe in vampires and werewolves but not mafias? what is more believable, a 1000-year-old immortal with magical powers or a 30-year-old human?”.

Alzea chuckled looking at her friendly roommate saying, “that’s a topic for another day”, are there any churches close by?” She inquired. Her roommate laughed hard, “A Christian who believes in witches and vampires, sure that sounds very Christian”, Alzea was taken back, “what? Never seen a Christian who watched vampire and witch shows. I believe in God, but that doesn’t mean I don’t acknowledge the supernatural, both stay separate in my mind”, “Sure whatever you say”, her roommate chuckled. They both had a quiet morning sharing their life stories, and details about their respective families. She called her parents and informed them that she is settled well to ease her worrywart of a mother’s heart.

Her roommate took her to show the city around, Alzea was in awe looking at her dream city, she kept checking her phone every single minute hoping to hear back from the jobs she applied to. Out of all the jobs she applied to, she loved the one that listed babysitting, she loved kids, and she has four cousins, she helped raise them all since she is the oldest. God seemed to have heard her prayer, she got a call from a lady who needed a babysitter for a boy who is mentally challenged, he is 4 but he has an emotional capacity of a 2-year-old. 

The next day she woke up early excited to do her first job. The kid she was going to babysit is an adorable baby, the kid was very hesitant in the beginning, but as the day passed by, he was comfortable enough to stay around her without his mommy. Soon the clock stuck at 5 and she left bidding goodbye to the adorable baby, by the time she was home, the girl got tired, and food brought her even closer to sleep, she fell asleep the minute her head hit her pillow.
