So every one knows I can't speak Greek It is all Google translate!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It all started in the Greek Empire. On August 21st, 738 B.C.E, I was born. My name is Emilia Agne, I was born different. You know how you just blink and you don't need to even think about. Well not me I have to think to blink. Well anyway when I do blink it puts a glaze over my eyes so I can't see anything, it's like I am blind. This glaze only last for 5 seconds I must blink again for it to glaze over again. When I look, see, or even glance at someone they suddenly feel more pain then they have ever experienced. In some cases it causes death. I feed of the pain I cause, that is how I gain energy. Another way I can gain energy is take what pain or energy they have at the moment, but to do this I must have complete concentration. I need to be able touch and look the person straight in the eye to get it that way. This is why when I blink, the glaze goes over, it protects people from my power and only I can control it. So that is why I don't naturally blink .I was also born immortal, so nothing can kill me and I can't die.

Well now that you are informed about my "problem" now I will tell you what happened the day I was born. When I was born I didn't know, obviously, that I had a power. So the first person I looked at was killed because I couldn't control my power, that person was my mother. My father had been killed in Messenia War, so I never knew him. I was disowned by the people of my city, Avia, and placed on a hill to die. Since I was immortal I didn't die, so when I turned two and began walking, I learned something. If I blink a film goes over my eyes and I don't hurt people, but I can't see anything. I left the hill when I was 7; I walked to the next city over. When I started seeing buildings I pulled the hood of a cloak, I found on the road here, up. I then started to blink as walked into town but I couldn't see anything.

I then heard a voice next to me "Μπορείς να δεις*" I could tell from the pitch it was a girl. I shook my head no; I didn't really know how to speak considering I spent 7 years on a hill. "Επιτρέψτε μου να σας βοηθήσει να γλυκέ μου*" she took me to a small space I guessed it was a hovel. "Είμαι μια μοδίστρα. Έχετε οποιαδήποτε ρούχα αγαπητέ μου;;*" she asked me I again shook my head no "Μπορείς να μιλήσεις αγαπητέ μου;*" she asked me I responded weakly "μόλις*" I only knew some words from the people I would hear talking in my old village. "Εδώ είναι μερικά φορέματα που μπορεί να σας ταιριάζει.*" she said to me I just smile thank you. She handed me the dresses I put one on me and looked down it was beautiful.

I spent over 10 months with the kind seamstress she gave me very beautiful dresses. I eventually learned to make my own dresses. One day I was in the market with Agape, the seamstress. A boy came up to me and said "Κοιτάξτε είναι Emelia το μικρό blind ράφτρα. Μήπως τον εαυτό αντιληπτά σήμερα;" he pretty much called me a blind seamstress and ask if I pin myself in a rude tone. You see Agape sent me to the school down the road I soon began speaking very fluently in Greek, but everyone tease me cause I was blind. That day I lost control and forgot to blink the first person I killed was the boy taunting me. The next was Agape, they were both writhing in pain until they went still. I screamed and shut my eyes and ran I ran to the small hovel. I open my eyes since no one was there and through all my clothes in sack and ran as far away as possibly.

I lived like that for hundreds and hundreds of years staying away from people if they aggravated me. By 750 B.C.E I was able to control my power. Meaning how much pain I can give when my eyes open from little to extremely dangerous pain. I rarely used my power so I was used to being blind. Over the years I learned many different languages from French to Chinese. I travel throughout Europe from place to place in about 802 C.E I ended up in England. I liked where I was in the country so I stayed. Eventually I stayed so long that I got the accent, I enjoyed England and stayed for a long time. Let's just say through the First World War and the start of the second. When WW2 started I took a boat to America were I had gotten a job as a nanny in New York.
