The Awakening.

May 22nd, 1856.

Dear Beatrice,

It all began that night. The journey of the unknown world began the night of the unfortunate event that hit me. My mom... my mom had just died after years getting sick. I didn't care about working 2 or 3 jobs to get her medication while going to school. I was satisfied that she never gave up. I was... sighs, but after selling off the property my late dad left us to get her treatment before I started working to assist with her medication fund, things got bad when she finally died and it was that night my joy came to me.

I knew I had no reason to live, so I ran across the busy street patiently waiting for a car to run me over, but instead, an electricity surged through me. The kind that I could not explain. It was strong and warm that I held it close as I burst into a million tears. Opening my eyes, I saw myself wrapped in the hands of someone I thought I had lost... your grandma, my mother.

Shining brightly, she lifted up to the sky and moved me across different galaxies with a smile on her face. And then, she spoke to me. Her words soothed my bereaved heart, and I found myself leaning closer to her until she enveloped me whole. It was right then that the secret of who I truly was became known to me. I felt immense pleasure knowing that, one day, I'll meet your grandma again, and this thought kept me going in life as my body glowed differently and a surge of power like a flame enveloped me.

Without a manual, I knew what to do, and I started right where my mother left. I knew why she was sick. Someone she trusted had messed up with her system, which is why she kept getting sick. She was weak and couldn't fly to her galaxy to fight back. However, the moment she died and awoke the power in me, I could read her thoughts like what the human calls “diary”. She had found the truth, and I was able to know everything. I became a superhero to the people of earth as I fought to reclaim and rebuild our galaxy. Then, I met him on earth. Handsome, kind and sweet. Your father.

April 2nd, 1996.

I had rescued him from an earthquake and a thousand others as well, but unlike other humans, he was able to see through me. I guess my heart chose him, and after meeting for some time, we started going out. No one knew about my powers except him. We cared and loved each other so much that we couldn't stop the flow of ecstasy that took hold of us one night. With lips in a sweet battle with another and body in alignment, we rode together with the moon, our guide. It was a beautiful moment which brought you to my womb.

January 23rd, 1997.**

Your father and I wanted you to be in our wedding picture, so we waited for you to be born. However, things took a huge turn when my identity was found out. Thankfully, no one knew about my pregnancy, so after bringing you to the world and caring for you for some months, I had to leave for our galaxy to save you. The government wanted to conduct experiments on me, but I couldn't let that happen and could never let you be known to the world.

Your father decided to take you into hiding as people knew me with him. We sacrificed a lot to make sure you live a good life. I had to set things in order in our galaxy as the leader after winning the battle. I took back all that was ours, but I never felt complete because you and your father were not with me, and this is why I most times turn myself to a star to watch you both at night.

But today, it ends it all. It was sad seeing your dad get old and dying a year after Covid while I was looking younger and stronger. I guess it is in our blood as royals to stop aging at 25 in both our human and alien form. This is why I am sending this message to you in the form of my thoughts (diary) to your thoughts as well. It'd be nice if you could come to our galaxy and leave the world of men. I wish no guy would go through what your dad went through after I left.

"My name is I, and I am your mother." The voice that had taken over Beatrice's thoughts said.

Opening her eyes, Beatrice shook her head and stood up to check her surroundings. "Hmm, that's strange. What... what was that?" She queried with a racing.

"It is a revelation of who you truly are." A voice replied.

"Who what?"... turning around, she scanned her surroundings again but found no one.

"Where are you?" Beatrice asked the voice.

"I am in you. If you'd like to know more about yourself, you can awake the power deep inside of you. Just think about it, and it shall be done." The voice replied.

"Wait... I wasn't dreaming or overthinking, right? I just read my Mom's diary a minute ago, right...?" Beatrice questioned.

"Yes, you did, and I am right here with you. You can come home with me, but if you'd like, you can continue living a human life. I promise to protect you and any family you'll produce. As long as your power doesn't get awakened, theirs won't be either." The voice replied.

"But why did you come to me if you weren't planning on awakening me?" Beatrice asked.

"I needed to let you know that you are not an ordinary being. Your father and I planned to let you know when you turned 25, but he died. It was just a precautionary method we decided to take. Don't worry. If you don't awaken your power, you'll grow old like other humans and die as one." The voice replied.

"So, your name is I? Like the letter I?" Beatrice asked.

"My earth name is Amanda, and my alien name is I. Your father loved calling me that, so I became so used to it." I, replied.

Memories of the moment her dad spoke of her mom filled her head. He had said her name was Amanda and had shown her her picture.

"Can I see you?" Beatrice asked.

"Yes, you can, but you have to close your eyes to see me." I, replied.

Closing her eyes, Beatrice let out a deep breath, and just then, a familiar face appeared before her.

Biting on her lower lip, Beatrice muffled a cry, "Mom? It is truly you, can I hug you?" Beatrice asked.

"No, you can't because I am not present physically with you. That's why I never wanted to show myself to you because I knew I would want to hug you. I know I'll end up coming back to earth, and I might put you in danger." I, replied.

Opening her eyes, Beatrice spoke, "I want to be with you mom, activate my powers."

And just as she said, a spark of electricity flowed into Beatrice's body, and before she realized what was going on, she found herself where she belonged. Right with her mother.
