Letter 2: First Boyfriend
Dearest Riv,
As you hold this letter in your hands I guess it's safe to say that you have found your first boyfriend, and if you are like me which I no doubt you are, then the guy you have fallen for will certainly be your last. I know I would tell you this as a bed time story when you were a child but I figured you wouldn't mind hearing it one more time for old times' sake:
It was at age seventeen, the age you are at now, that Nikki had fallen for Carter. I guess you could say it was love at first sight, although there are few who actually believe in that sort of thing. Nikki had never expected to find love. It just sort of happened. Well just as she had laid eyes on him, he had laid his eyes on her. It was clear to the both of them that they would never find anyone else- it was almost chemical in a way, almost as if they were meant for each other. I wish there were some way to describe it but I'm sure now that you have laid eyes on your own Mr. Right, you know how deep those feelings run. As the story goes, Nikki and Carter soon could not be separated. Even when they spent time apart it was torture. The two of them married right out of high school and not once did they look back. Their secrets soon began to unfold and the reasons as to why they were drawn to each other began to make sense. The two of them had plenty of time for childrearing so they spent two centuries just traveling the world, helping in whichever way they could. After that time what they had both sought out was a child. No child from the Thesauri tribes had ever tried having a child the way a mortal human did. They loved the way mortal humans did but they could not bear children the way mortal humans did. So, Carter, knowing how deeply his wife had wanted a child in a more Earthly fashion, made the ultimate sacrifice: being full blooded Thesauri, he decided to kill himself. Only half of him remained and the doctors, knowing Carter's wishes, decided to do a blood transfusion with human blood. The experiment was of the utmost success! And so, after a few months when Carter had fully recovered, he and his wife bore a child, a child that was ¾ Thesauri, and ¼ human.
I tell you this Riv, so that you will know of your history and that which you were born. I don't expect you to go down the same road as I. Know that your destiny is so much different, so much greater. Love sweetheart, love with everything you got. And I have faith that the man you have fallen in love with will clearly love you just the same if not more. Any man, any man special enough, would be a fool not to have you.
God how I wish I could be there with you to help guide you on this journey. Love and more specifically alien sex can be a wonderful thing. Though I can't be there to guide you and answer any questions, I have left a second letter to this one that lists the things you need and the questions you may have.
Know that we love you, we will always love you, and we will always be with you.
