On the outskirts of New York City stands a school the teaches from Kindergarten to Collage. The buildings were separated by grade levels and they even had dorms for the students too stay in if they needed to, however most of the lower level students took the buses that they had to go to and from their homes. This school had been founded 350 years ago by the Pirate Queens when they decided to settle down and stop sailing the seas as just a primary school then as time went by they grew and took on the different levels of education all the while they made sure that they were up to date on the standards that the state had in place. Now it was run by their "Descendants" and each of them took on a different job in the school.

Lilly Marcus stood in her office and looked at the painting that hung on the wall it had been painted years before the school had been founded and it showed the girls with the loves of their lives before the fateful day when they had died protecting them. Lilly then looked at the lesson plans she had for her class and nodded her head lightly. Not only was Lilly the head mistress but she also taught about the history of pirates as subject she was well versed in. while there weren't many who thought that this was a smart move Lilly knew that it was wise to teach the students as it helped with them understanding when they took the history of the school as it had been founded by pirates.

Lilly gathered her things and then headed o the class room as the new school year was about to begin. Lilly always liked the first day of school as she could get to see all the kids getting reunited with their friends from the year before and settling in to new glasses. Lilly liked that many of their seniors returned as collage students as they liked the environment. Lilly walked the halls and headed to her class room and then walked in where a group of freshmen were waiting for her to start her lecture. "good morning everyone today we are going to go over the syllabus and they were will start with the history of pirates" Lilly handed out the papers they would need and then started her lecture
 
It was hard to imagine that already 350 years had passed since the school had been founded by that of the Pirate Queens after they had decided to settle down, decided that they wanted to educate the younger generation. Now in the present time it was the "descendants" of the Pirate Queens themselves that were acting as the headmistresses of the school. And at one point it had just been a primary school yet throughout the ages it had morphed into all ages from Kindergarten to Collage. It had definitely been a process though and they had definitely gone through ups and downs throughout the years but after a while they had found a rhythm, they had found what worked the best for them.

Phaedra Ambrose was just letting out a small breath of air as she pushed some of her platinum blonde hair out of her face before her emerald green eyes were just going towards the painting that she had within her own office. An old one but unlike the one that Lilly had up in her office, this one was far different. This one was far older than when she had meet the love of her life. This was one from back when she was younger - when her family had still been alive. Both of her parents had been pirates and she had been raised as the second youngest of four children. All of them girls, so her father had definitely had his hands full when they had all been growing up. Yet when she had been fifteen, that is when tragedy had struck. Their ship had been attacked by an enemy and the first to fall had been their third eldest sister who had been up in the crow's nest - taking out the scout had been their first move.

In the end the only ones who had managed to survive had been that of Phaedra and her youngest sister, who had only been six at the time. Their eldest sister, Ariadne, had almost made it; having managed to get the three of them onto a life raft and they had just sailed the seas until another fellow pirate lord found them - but she ended up succumbing to her wounds. Wounds that she had kept hidden but she had been bleeding out the entire them that they had been adrift, forcing herself to stay strong until they found an ally. Phaedra was just turning away from the painting and just pushing away some tears that she had form in her eyes before she was going over to gather her own stuff, so that she could head to her own classroom.

While Lilly taught history classes - Phaedra was more the mathematician, tending to take over teaching the math classes at that point in time. As she walked through the hallways and greeted some of the other students, she eventually spotted her younger sister. Anastasia Ambrose, eternally eighteen years old, as that is how old she had been when she had drank from the fountain of youth, yet again that would also make Phaedra herself eternally 27 as she had been that age when she had drank. That had been a rough decision to have made so long ago as well - to live forever but there had been many things that they had wanted to protect as well.

Anastasia, despite her young age, also acted as the secret third headmistress of the school as well. Although while she had the knowledge to be one of the professors she opted to be a normal college student at that point in time. Even if she was far excelling past her peers especially when it came to science and the medical field. Even as a young child she had always been interested in science, she had always been interested in anything and everything medical. It had been a bit scary when she was younger - able to tell you exactly what plants were poisonous versus which weren't just by the scent and appearance alone. A walking medical encyclopedia back then, and even to this day while things had changed quite a bit - her knowledge had only grown.
 
Lilly went over the Syllabus with her students taking her time going over the rules of the class. Lilly thought of Phaedra and Anastasia as she started their lesson once they were done with the expectations and such of the class. Lilly then carefully pulled out an old leather bound journal and set it on her desk before she looked at the students. At eternally 26 Lilly was often questioned if she was really able to be a professor but she had the degrees to prove it. Lilly in fact held several degrees always sticking with history but she had three PHD's under her belt so far and she was working on her fourth.

"we are going to start this class by learning about the Pirate Queens who sailed the seas 360 years ago" Lilly then held up the journal and smiled "this is the journal of the captain of the Immortal Rose a woman who went by the name of the Crimson Rose" Lilly then went on to tell them about herself and how she had been all those years ago.
 
Phaedra was heading into her own classroom and was handing out the syllabus to her students, and explaining the rules of her class. Although soon after that she was taking the time to pass out a test to all of the students before she was stating, "This isn't an actual test - this is just for me to see where you are all at with your math abilities. This will allow me to know which students I will need to offer a little more guidance to than others." After that she was stating that she wanted them all to know that they could ask her for help at any point in time - that it didn't need to just be about math. They could ask for her help with pretty much anything, any classes, advice about stuff outside of school, hell if they wanted somebody to vent to about something she would listen. "I want you to know that I am here for you. If you are having a rough time in another class and aren't sure how to talk to the teacher, come to me. I will help - whether it be help you speak to them or talk to them myself. If you are having a rough time with your job outside of school and just need to vent - as long as it is outside of my class hours and I am in my office, I am all ears. You can all come to me about anything and everything. Anything that is said to me within my office will remain between us unless it is a situation where authorities need to be involved, then I will handle all of that." she was adding before giving a smile and telling them to start on their tests - that they had the entire class time to work on it. At their own pace, finding the answers using any method as long as it wasn't using a calculator.
 
Lilly talked and went to answer questions was they came up giving them the information they needed as it would lead win to their first assignment. Lilly wasn't normally one to hand out assignments on the first day but this time she was having them to a family history project to see how far back they could trace their family line. Lilly knew this would be hard for some kids and maybe even impossible for others but she assured that that everyone had a family history they could turn in. for those who were adopted they could use that family and for those who were abandoned they could use the family that they had made. Lilly knew that tracing back ones own history would be hard but it was something she was wanting to see them do
 
Phaedra just watched her students and was circling around to answer questions as needed; explaining how stuff was worded, or helping them understand what they had done wrong. They knew the answer but their process of showing their work wasn't adding up to the correct answer, so it was just trying to figure out what had gone wrong. Soon enough the bell was ringing though that was signifying the end of classes and before Phaedra let her students leave she was speaking, "The only homework assignment I have for you tonight is I want you to write a short paper and tell me about yourselves. Tell me about your favorite things, tell me about your hobbies, tell me about you." With that she was dismissing them for the morning, just smiling gently as she waved to them as they were leaving.
 
With class being over Lilly wished them all a good day before she gathered up her things and then went to see how the others were doing. Lilly knew Phaedra had he math class that day but she didn't know if Anastasia had any classes that day or not. Lilly looked around and greeted the students as she walked and when she reached the class room she stuck her head in and smiled at her friend "hey how did your first class go?" Lilly had a break for a while and she would be working on managing the school then before he next class for the day. Lilly liked teaching the collage level history classes and seeing how excited the kids were to learn about the subject
 
Phaedra was just working on getting her stuff gathered up so that she could go through the mock math tests when she heard a voice at the door which had her looking to see that it was just Lilly standing there. "It went well. Have a number of mock tests to look through and see where everybody's skills are at, but it is fine." was all she was stating after a moment in time, giving a small giggle as she tucked the papers into her bag. After that she was stretching a bit before she was pushing some of her hair out of her face. Although it wasn't long before her eyes were going towards the doorway as another familiar figure was walking up. Anastasia. Although unlike Phaedra who had gotten their mother's platinum blonde hair, she had gotten their father's fiery red hair, kept back in a tight braid at that point in time.
 
Lilly turned and looked smiling when she spotted Anastasia "hey how are your classes going?" Lilly always liked to check in with her partners and the school kept them busy. Lilly looked at some of the students and waved gently knowing that the first real pep rally would be interesting to say the least. the girls would introduce themselves and then headmistresses of the school and that normally caught people off guard
 
Anastasia was just looking towards Lilly for a brief moment in time before she was speaking, "I am not going to get along with my science professor at all. Day one and let me tell you.... he is an absolute asshole to the female students. Had one of them ask an actual legitimate question and he just looked at her like she was student before explaining it in the most dry, bored voice ever. That "why am I am even explaining this" voice even though it was a good question to have asked. Then one of the guys asked something and his tone changed to a more "oh now this is something exciting to try and explain." type of voice." This had Phaedra looking over for a brief moment. Hmm they had heard reports of issues with this science professor last year as well but one of the students making the complaints had been his stepdaughter anyways and the pair of them were always going at each other - and another one had been a close friend of hers. So they had kept an eye on it but they hadn't had anybody else come forward with complaints so they had summed it up to there just being false information being told.
 
Lilly frowned and then nodded her head "so the reports from last year aren't just a mad step-daughter and her friends trying to cause trouble" Lilly knew Anastasia didn't hang with the girl and in the whole time she knew her she had never lied about a person so she was inclined to believe her reports. Lilly then looked at Phaedra and spoke "we will have to deal with this carefully we don't need a law suit" Lilly knew they would have to be careful and document everything as they didn't need to be hit with wrongful terminations. the teacher wasn't tenured yet so that would make things easier but they still had to be careful
 
Anastasia was just shaking her head before she was speaking, "Doesn't seem that way at all. And we did keep an eye out for anything strange even after getting those reports, but honestly it felt like he was tipped off to being investigated." His attitude had changed completely from after the first report had come in and they had done in person visits just pretending that they were just there to see how the class went, to watching stuff on the camera. They had never seemed anything out of the ordinary, and had never seen him do anything like that. Unfortunately the dates that the step daughter had said he had spoken to her like that, they weren't able to pull up on video at all. Recently they had updated their system so that they could go back farther - before they could only go back up to seven days but now they could go back up to at least 30 days. Anastasia was just stating, "I'll continue to monitor and keep an eye on it myself."
 
Lilly nodded her head "let us know if anything happens and we will monitor grades as well" as all teachers were required to have a digital grade book they could look at a students grades and see any and all changes which would help them discover if the man was sexist. Lilly then looked at Phaedra and spoke "we got another letter as well" the letter Lilly was talking about was from a former crew member who had drank the water with them and she was being stalked followed all over the country and it had them worried as he claimed to know her secret.
 
Anastasia was just looking towards her for a brief moment in time before she was commenting, "Let me tell you though.... I don't know how he got his degree to be a science teacher. From what I saw today.... He really doesn't know what he was talking about. He was talking about a chemical equation today where the two chemicals being mixed... wouldn't end in a good thing at all." With that she was just shaking her head some before letting out a small breath of air before raising an eyebrow at the mention of another letter. No she knew about it but she also didn't get involved with it. Phaedra was just looking for a brief moment in time before she was just shrugging then commenting, "I would continue to ignore them. Pretend that you know nothing."
 
"its from Casey this time she is scared" Casey had been their first mate and trusted friend that the letter had come from her along with the stalkers letter had her worried as Casey wouldn't get scared often. Lilly would look in to his degree as if that was faked then she would have grounds to fire him. Lilly would also review his references as well as she didn't want or need an accident happening. Being one of the heads of the school Lilly had to keep her students safe and it seemed like this man was a threat to the students
 
Phaedra was just looking for a brief moment in time before she was speaking, "Interesting. Usually Casey doesn't get scared often." Although her eyes were flickering towards Anastasia as the younger female was stating that she would love to see the stalker show up there, she would give him a piece of her mind. Once upon a time she would have never picked a fight with anybody, she had been that innocent one at one point. Although that had definitely changed after she had turned sixteen, and constantly being harassed by somebody who had been apart of the navy nonetheless. Her attitude had soon changed after realizing that continuing to the be shy and delicate flower wasn't going to get her anywhere with him.
 
Lilly nodded her head "I'll be in my office Security is aware so they are checking with the office to make sure that if someone was visiting that they have an appointment" Lilly wasn't taking any risks as she didn't need someone getting hurt. Lilly then hugged them both before heading off.. it was easy to see that Lilly was worried and on edge because of the man while she would normally deal with that kind of attention with violence the laws had be come stricter over the centuries and now she couldn't known someone down a peg with out a true threat to her safety
 
Anastasia was giving a nod of her head before she was heading off so that she could get off to her next class for the morning, while Phaedra was heading off so that she could go to her office once again to start looking through some of those mock tests since she still had some time before her next class. It was down time at that point in time and it wasn't as though she needed to get them back to the students any time soon. It was just to see where they were at with their skills.
 
Lilly walked in to her office and then sat down at her desk before she went to work on finding out about the science teachers degree and his previous work. while they had done a cursory check they hadn't done a deep dive which meant that if this turned in to something that they would need to change how they hired teachers in the future. For the next several hours she dug and the more she dug the more she found that this man had lied to them. with an hour before her next class Lilly messaged the other two about what she had found to get their input on what they should do
 
Phaedra was just looking at the message from Lilly about how the man had lied to him about stuff. Well wasn't that interesting, absolutely interesting. Yet there was a part of her that wasn't at all shocked to hear that news at all either. He definitely seemed like somebody who would lie about stuff like that. Not that Anastasia saw the message at the time considering she was in her next class of the day, just listening to what the teacher had to say at the moment. The first day of school was usually always the most mellow. Just going over the rules and expectations of the classroom, getting to know the teacher, and getting to know the others that were in the classroom.
 
Lilly then got up and headed out of her office locking the door behind her and she headed to her next class. while she was walking to her class she stopped in her tracks as she spotted someone she had thought was dead and gone. while they had found reincarnations before none of them had remembered their past life. not wanting to upset Anastasia Lilly didn't say anything to her but she did send a picture to Phaedra of the man. "looks like another reincarnation of James"
 
Phaedra was just looking up for a brief moment in time when her phone buzzed which had her grabbing at it so that she could look at the message that she had gotten. She was a bit startled to see the reincarnation of Anastasia's former lover, James. While they had encountered them before, Phaedra and Lilly having encountered their reincarnations more often than Anastasia did, the downfall was that the men didn't remember the past at all. Not right aways. They would after some time, but every time in the past that they had encountered them - something had happened and they had lost them again in some way shape of form. 'Strange how we have run into the reincarnations of our lovers numerous times but I think this is only the second time that we have run into the reincarnation of James.' There as they had run into a reincarnation of their former lovers after their deaths at least once every 20 to 60 years dependent on how long they lived, when they last died, and more.
 
'yes it is but I am worried of what will happen if Anastasia sees him she took his death the hardest' Lilly was worried that losing James again would completely destroy the girl as the last couple times losing him had been harder and harder on the girl. Lilly walked in to her class and saw that he was taking the class so this would give her a chance to see if he remembered his past life at all or not. Lilly then started her same talk going over everything and then she gave out the family tree assignment.
 
'Well compared to us she is the baby of the family, lose is something that she isn't as familiar with as us. Thankfully while she remembers the death of our family, she doesn't remember it all at once. She knows they died but she doesn't remember the how. I want to say that I did a good job though at shielding her.' was all that Phaedra was texting back as she was getting to her feet after a moment in time. Yet again, Anastasia had been young and dumb back when she had met James - love at first sight. Where as in the case of Phaedra and her lover, when they had first met they hadn't liked each other at all. They had bickered all the time and were constantly butting heads. But eventually their relationship changed into something far different.
 
'he is in my class so we will see if he is part of the blood line' If he was part of the same blood line that the original James was there there was a strong possibility that he would remember his past life and if they were really lucky in this life time he would agree to drink the water and become immortal like they were so she never had to lose him again. Lilly could only hope that they would run into each other and that would trigger the memories returning.
