A/N: A basic retelling of the movie but completely from Jupiter's POV
Technically speaking, I'm an alien. And from the perspective of Immigration an illegal one. My parents met at the university in St. Petersburg, where he taught Astrophysics and she taught Applied Mathematics. My mother fell in love with him when she found him almost frozen to death on the bank of the Neva, staring at the stars. My mother won't talk much about that time. But my Aunt Nino told me about my father. His name was Maximilian Jones. And he was the son of an English diplomat who always saw the best in people. I often wondered if what happened to my mother and father changed me from someone who might have seen the best in people to someone who always expects the worst. (Aunt Nino told me that my father died of a gunshot wound after being accosted by burglars.) In her grief my mother pushed everyone except her sister out of her life. Somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic she pushed me out too. I was born without a country. Without a home. Without a father. But I was born in the House of Leo with Jupiter rising at 23 degrees ascendant. According to my aunt this is supposed to mean I am destined for great things and that I will find the one true love of my life.
This is the story on how I found my true love and the obstacles that had to be faced for us to be together.
Now up until the day I met the love of my life, I helped my mother and aunt clean houses for a living. I can't say I liked it very much or how much I wished I could be doing something other than cleaning up after other people. I found myself often saying that I hated my life. And cleaning up after other people was not exactly my definition of doing great things with my life, but who am I to complain. At least I was making a paycheck even if it was a small one and that's more than I can say for most illegal aliens in my adopted country.
Now you may ask how and when did I meet this great love of my life. Well, it all started when I decided to buy a telescope that was similar to the one that once belonged to my father. Having searched for years, I finally found it on Ebay of all crazy places. Of course, with my salary, I would have had to save forever to even think about purchasing it. It would have cost me around four thousand dollars to buy it and I just didn't have that kind of money, even if I did save every penny I earned cleaning houses. Then my cousin had an idea and I sorta went along with it. The idea you ask... well, it was to sell my eggs to a fertility clinic for cash. Stupid idea I know, but I was desperate. I really wanted that telescope. It was a link to the father I had never known and I just knew that if I had it I would feel closer to him though I can't really say how I knew this... only that I did. I used one of my employers names on the application, with her permission of course, and that is how my love found me. Now I probably have confused you right? You may be asking yourself how my using a false name on a application led my love to me. Well, you see my love is not exactly human. He's a lycantant. And he found me through his sense of smell. What's a lycantant you ask? Well, he is a genetically modified hybrid human who has been spliced with a wolf. In his world he is simply a Splice. Bred for the military, a genetic killing machine as it were. To me he is the one who saved my life on more than one occasion, my protector and the love of my life.
But wait I am getting ahead of myself. Now where was I... oh yes, where I met him. Like I said before he saved my life and that is how I met him. I was at the fertility clinic about to go through with the procedure when weird things began to happen. And I mean weird. First off, I changed my mind at the last second and was told by the nurse it was just my hormones, then the doctor said he could perform the procedure with his eyes closed. Not that that made me very comfortable but then they put strange straps on my ankles and my wrists. I had a vague memory of my friend in this same situation, though I could not be too sure. All I had was a picture on my phone that I did not recall taking of strange creatures around her floating body. Before I knew what was happening I began to float into the air. They had flipped me over and I heard the doctor say something about getting a sample and making sure I was the right one before they stuck me in the back of the neck with something and then confirming that it was a match. I heard the doctor tell the nurse to kill me. Now you can imagine the panic that went through me at those words. I had no idea at the time what was going on but these people were trying to kill me for no apparent reason! I saw one of the nurses turn the oxygen off and then... he appeared out of nowhere. I thought I heard the door burst open and some sort of gunfire but I was not sure as I was losing consciousness rather rapidly. Plus, I was in full panic mode, which was not helping, what with the oxygen machine having been cut off. I'm not sure if what I saw was real or not, but before I completely passed out the mask was pulled off my face and I was flipped over and was being held by my rescuer. I heard him ask if I was alright and all I could ask was who he was. He did managed to tell me his name before I passed out. Caine. My rescuers name was Caine Wise and he would end up being the love of my life. But it's how we got there...that's where the true story lies.
