Alec was resting in "his" room on board a spaceship. It was still hard for him to wrap his mind around the fact that just a few days ago he was just as he had been for years. Then all of that changed and it was hard for him to take it all in. Three Yaujta he had met. Three Yautja... Three... The pictures were flying in his mind. All of the events up until now his childhood memories, but he noticed one thing in them that he had never noticed before they were all blurry they didn't seem... complete. It was almost as if something had entered his memory and tampered with it. In his childhood he was uncontrollable. He was sent from one school to the next all because of one of two words being said to him, either "faggot" or "freak" both causing him to go into fits of rage.

It all began with this one memory in elementary school 3rd grade to be precise. The only friend he ever had was being bullied so he went to intervene, but the bully's friends stepped in between and called him all kinds of names none phased him until the word "freak" came out of their mouths and then almost animalistically Alec pounced trying to rend their heads from their necks. When they ran away screaming for their mommy's Alec moved on to the "big" bully. He shoved the bully meaning to just shove him down but he tumbled down the hill nearly ten feet away. When the bully reached the bottom he was unconscious. Alec turned to his friend who looked at him with fear as if he was worse then the bullies. When his friend was asked about it he told everything that happened and Alec was put under the classification of "bully" 'Of course they would side with the bullies' Alec remember thinking to himself.

Then it moved to his adolescence. He was so temperamental back then. He remembered one fuzzy memory that happened in the 6th grade. This one kid called him a "fag" and he went into another fit of rage. The pure rage on his face must have terrified the bully because he began to run away screaming the word "freak" he didn't get far. Alec appeared in front of him raised his hand and struck leaving deep cuts on his face as if his hands were claws. Once again Alec was the bully and he was the innocent.

Then it moved to his high school years. They were the worst. He was treated as an exile. Even the teachers hated him. The worst moment he remembered was when he was in gym running laps outside in the field. One kid who was extremely fast ran next to Alec and whispered the word "faggot" in his ear then running away laughing. Alec blinded by fury began to get faster and faster. He then caught up to the kid who turned to look back at him then saw he was standing right next to him, and was about to ask how he did that when Alec slammed his fist into the side of the kids face sending him flying. The teacher having just watched Alec get progressively faster and faster pegged Alec the bully, and one again Alec was expelled.

All of his memories were fuzzy and clouded as if he was forgetting something. Alec wished and wished he could remember what truly had happened then by his sheer need and will the clouds were lifted and he saw everything. In elementary school he had managed to jump higher than humanly possible and was stronger than his age ever could be. In middle school he saw his eyes in the refection of the bully's and they weren't the same as if they had changed. He saw brute, yellow animal eyes that resembled a cats. Then, finally in high school he remembered he wasn't able to run any faster. He had been out of breath, and he wasn't strong enough to send anyone flying. Plus it didn't help he had the coordination of a blind person. Thinking back on all those times he came to one question, What am I?

He woke up with that question ringing in his head. It just didn't make any sence. It really frustrated him. Then Ga'din walked in his presence immediately noted.

"What's wrong?" he asked in his computerized voice.

Alec had thought about it since he discovered this but he decided it was time he told them.

"I can understand you now. I heard what you and Ga'din had been talking about when I kicked both of you out of my room. I don't think I can speak your language but I do understand it." Alec confessed.

"Oh." Ga'din said in his natural voice which registered clearly in Alec's mind. "Then I should tell you that we will be leaving soon you know."

"Yeah I know..." Alec said solemnly. "Where will I go?"

"Well I came in here to talk to you about that. Do you want to come back to our planet with us?" Ga'din asked hopefully.

Alec was astounded that Ga'din would ask. Could he? Should he? What would happen? These and a million other intertwined questions started spinning a weave of webs in his head.

"I...I..." was all Alec could manage to say. Then giving up words he embraced Ga'din. Ga'din, surprised, embraced Alec back.

"I take that a yes?" Ga'din asked.

Alec smiled and nodded his head.

"Of course, but is it allowed?" Alec asked.

"It's not... normal... but occasionally an Yautja will take an ooman as their mate. Normally they become life mates but you'll learn about that when I train you in the ways of a Yautja, as to eliminate any possible set backs to your acceptance. There will be opposition, however. I believe though that with your kills, and the fact your not exactly human they will, in time, accept you."

Hearing this said gave Alec confidence. He still wanted to know something though. Who are his mother and father?

"I wish I could know if my parents were human before I leave here though. Maybe just maybe..." Alec said forming an idea in his head. Suddenly his eyes went wide. There must be some records of people with his name, somewhere.

"Somewhere there must be records of my name." Alec said. "But where?"

"Well as I said before that necklace your wearing has Yautja material. Therefore there will be record of someone who might have been with a person with your name in our databases." Ga'din said. "It wouldn't hurt to try."

"True, true." Alec agreed. "Can you access it from your ship?"

"Of course." Ga'din said as he walked Alec out of the room.

They walked into Lux'thr who,with his computerized voice, asked Alec how he was doing.

"Lux'thr to tell you the truth... I can understand your language now. I discovered my ability yesterday." Alec said truthfully.

"Oh thank Paya! I don't have to use that annoying computer voice anymore." Lux'thr said exasperatedly.

To that Alec just giggled which he hadn't done in forever it seemed.

The sound confused both Ga'din and Lux'thr neither had heard it before. Their species couldn't make such a noise.

They continued walking until the reached the command room. Ga'din went over to the research station and typed in Alec's name. It searched for what felt like a very long time. All the possible leads turned up nothing until finally after a half hour of searching a result showed up. There had been an Yatja male who had taken an ooman female as his mate her name had been Alaiyah Alaysia. Her mates name was Halkrath. Ga'din could help feeling like he knew that name from somewhere, but where?

"My mothers name was Alaiyah... how... strange yet beautiful." Alec said. "I just wish I knew what she was like." Alec said solemnly.

"If we can find this Halkrath we might be able to find out what she was like." Ga'din said trying to be positive for them both.

"Yeah... maybe." Alec agreed.

"I'm going to go find Mai'rin and tell her of your new found "gift". Ga'din said before leaving Alec to ponder everything he knows.

'I wonder if I am like her?' Alec thought to himself while absentmindedly playing with his necklace. 'Maybe this Halkrath can tell me about my 'abilities' and if my mother had them.'

Then Alec recalled something from one of his dreams. When the shrouded figure left him on the doorstep of his childhood caretakers house he had seen three notes. One asking if they would take care of him. The second the envelope left to him with the necklace and third one he never saw. He knew now what he must do before they left this doomed planet. He had to go back to the place of his childhood and look for that letter it may be important. He rushed off after Ga'din.

He found him explaining to Mai'rin his newest "ability". Mai'rin looked up from Ga'din and saw Alec.

"Hello Dachande." Mai'rin greeted in her natural voice.

"Different knife? That's sweet Mai'rin." Alec beamed at his new nickname. "But uh... do you mind if I borrow Ga'din for a second?"

"Of course little one." Mai'rin said as she walked away leaving the two alone.

"What is it Alec?" Ga'din asked.

"I remembered something. In my dream when the cloaked figure left me on the footstep of my childhood care takers house it left three notes. One asked if they would take care of me. The second was the envelope from my mother, plus another one I have never seen before. I think it is still in that house, and I was wondering if it wouldn't be too much trouble could we go there before we leave this planet?" Alec said. "Oh and remind me one day to tell you about that dream."

"That I will do. If we were going to go to this house, where is it?" Ga'din asked curious.

"If I recall correctly it is on the out parts of Black Creek Forest. Named after the creek that runs through it who's water is so dark it appears black. If we went to Black Creek Forest, which isn't very big, with all the exploring I did when I was younger there I could find it quite easily." Alec told Ga'din.

"If it is what you want Alec we will go." Ga'din caved.

"Thank you..." Alec said as he embraced Ga'din.

It was then Alec noticed the height difference between him and Ga'din.

"Its funny wherever I have been I have always been taller than everyone, but you make me look so tiny." Alec said chuckling.

This too made Ga'din chuckle. "Well Alec we are typically taller than you oomans."

"True but I just now noticed this." Alec said.

"What's so funny?" Lux'thr asked having just walked in.

"I just noticed our height difference. I'm so tiny." Alec replied.

Hearing that made Lux'thr laugh and walk away.

After about twenty minutes of getting the ship prepped Ga'din called Mai'rin and Lux'thr to the command room as he began to fly. They searched long and hard, with Alec being terrible at navigation it's amazing they actually found the place.

"Finally I thought we'd never get here." Lux'thr said exasperated.

"Well I know i'm not the best of navigationists..." Alec said dejectedly.

"Let's just get this over with." Mai'rin said quickly growing tired of this planet.

They all headed out with Alec leading them with his memory not his navigation skills and they quickly found the old, dilapidated house.

"Seeing as how the logs are rotten beyond comprehension I am pretty sure it will barely be able to take my weight. Let alone yours Ga'din." Alec said with a mischievous look on his face. Ga'din just huffed at this as Alec began walking towards the cottage. He walked straight up to the wooden stairs that looked like they would collapse under the slightest touch. Alec deciding to take it slow started applying weight little by little and nothing happened. Not even a groan or creak of wood. He then just walked up the stairs that should have collapsed. The door though was different. Upon opening, it fell of the hinges with a crack. Leaving Alec holding a door. He set the door down on the ground a few feet below and walked in. The floors to should be collapsing but he didn't hear so much as a groan. He saw the chair Cassandra was always sitting in. Now it was dilapidated and moldy. He continued walking to his old room. He saw the bed he slept in. It too had been rendered useless with age. He went to Cassandra's room and saw her old jewelry box. He opened it finding it empty, and moved on. He had given up hope and was about to leave when he heard the floor groan. Normally in an old house he would have ignored it, but up until now the floor boards were silent. So acting on instinct he bent down and easily removed the floor board revealing something in a black velvet bag. Alec grabbed it searched the makeshift hole for anything else then when nothing appeared moved on. He opened the black velvet bag to reveal a few things one his old Journal, two a letter, and three another piece of jewelry this one a bracelet same design and everything. He opened the envelope to reveal a letter from his mother.

Dear Alecae, if you are reading this then you have done a very good job of surviving the plague that haunts you now. I know you have lots of questions and all of them will be answered in time but I need to tell you this. You were born special just as I was, so was my mother, and her mother. We are all gifted Alecae. We do not know why we are gifted like so. I was gifted with premonitions. I knew this day would come. I knew you have already met Ga'din, Lux'thr and Mai'rin. I also know that things are becoming clearer to you. You are remembering more and more. You were gifted with a few abilities which is abnormal as my mother told me. You were born with telepathic, telekinetic abilities. I have also sent you a bracelet to match your necklace. One piece of advice, if I may, never doubt your gift. In doubt your gift will fail. Also, know that no matter what happens I will always love you Alecae. Always.

Down at the bottom the once unreadable signature now clearly spelled out his mothers name.

Alec walked back out putting everything except his new bracelet back in the bag. He asked Ga'din to help him put it on which he kindly obliged to before asking Alec, "What did you find other than the bracelet?"

"An envelope with a few answers but a lot of questions." Alec replied thoughtfully.
