Which World is Real?

Chapter 4 - The Revelation

t hasn't been that long since my last post, but you will be surprised at how much can happen in a very short time.

As you know the mysterious woman who wiped my memory has found me and come to talk to me, claiming she isn't here to hurt me. I don't know if everything that happened so far made me overly paranoid or overly naïve, I can't say that I trust her, but the urgency in her tone makes me want to hear her out.

She is different from every one of the hybrids that I've seen so far, honestly I can't say she looks completely human, nor does she have any of the characteristics of any of us. Yet she can use blue light, and I find that intriguing, call me crazy, but I'm curious to find out more, and the more I look at her the more there is something oddly familiar about her, and I don't mean our previous run in, I mean I've seen her somewhere else before, but I just can't place it, everything about her is familiar, even her voice. But I'm struggling to put the pieces together.

So let me recount everything that happens for you here.

She was on her third cup on coffee in a row, heck by now I would be running up the walls, but she seems so calm, almost like someone who has just come out of a 10 hour meditation.

As she puts her cup down I decided to offer her another one. "Would you like a refill?

Her. "No thank you. It's just been a while since I last had coffee. "

"A glass of water or some juice?"

"I will have anything you are having."

"Are you sure? After everything that I've just gone through I need a drink."

"A drink actually sounds nice."

"Really, you don't strike me as someone who drinks."

"I do, not much, but I do enjoy the occasional glass of wine."

"Well wine it is then."

So I poured us each a glass of wine and placed hers infront of her.

She took the glass in her hand and took a tiny sip. " thank you.

So I decided to finally break the ice.

"So what are you doing here?"

"Like I said, I am here to talk."

"Okay I'm listening, talk. Get to the point. "

She looks at me and echos my last words. "Get to the point, uhm get to the point, I think I should start at the beginning."

"What are you talking about?"

She then looks back at her wine glass, and speaks in a soft tired voice. "You really don't recognize me, do you?"

"Of course I recognize you, you blocked my memories."

"I'm sorry about that, I thought if you forgot you would be safe and they would leave you alone?"

"What do you mean? You left me completely vulnerable and without any idea of what was going on."

She then jumps up, "I said I'm sorry, at the time it was the only way I could think off to get you off their radar."

"Their radar?"

"The off worlders, you got on quite a few different off world races radar when you decided to start posting on the internet, and they gave orders to their human collaborators to shut you up."

"Shut me up as in kill me."

"I don't know, I just know that they would have either killed you or you would have ended up in some off the maps government prison where you would never have seen the light of day again. But when they realized that you can't remember anything you were declared to no longer be a threat and they left you alone."

"So you actually saved my life? "

"I did, more then once. You still don't recognize me? "

"No, stop playing mind games and please explain to me what you are getting at?"

By now I was filling up our wine glasses again. You will be surprised how fast wine goes when you are been told things you wish you could forget again.

So I took my seat again and looked at her, "please tell me."

"Okay I will, but let me finish and don't interrupt me."

"I'm listening."

"What do you remember from the ship?"

"Well I remember the Seleon's ships are huge and made of some kind ..."

"No, not our ships, the ship with the greys?"

"Wait, how do you know about that? Ok wait, you read my post?"

"Well your post helped me to confirm it was you, but what do you remember about me and about what happened there?"

"You were not there, it was another woman, a redhead."

Then she looked at me with some of her hair hanging in her face, and that's when it clicked and everything came flooding back again. "Yes my hair was red back then, I dyed it shortly afterwards. "

"How is that possible? I thought they killed you."

"No, they let me go shortly after taking you away. Do you remember what happened?"

"Not much, I remember you screaming at me to wake up and they took me away shortly after that. "

"That was the third time I woke you up, don't you remember anything before that?"

"No I don't. Is there anything important I should remember?"

That's when I noticed her rubbing her midsection.

"This might be difficult for you to accept, but I need to tell you."

"I don't like where this is going, I hope you are not going with this where I think you are going?"

Then I saw a tear running down her cheeks. "Forget it, this was a bad idea, I should go."

But before she could stand up I found myself sitting next to her, taking her hand in my hand. "No, please tell me everything, I can see that you are about to crack up."

She then looked at me with her eyes ready to burst into tears. "They bred us, they forced us to have intercourse over and over till you passed out. They did it twice. After the second time they took you away and they ran scans on me and then dumped me in the middle of nowhere. And then a few weeks later I found out I was pregnant." And that's when she broke down and burst into tears.

So I took her in my arms and hugged her, allowing her to cry it out. We sat there for a few minutes, I had a million thoughts running through my mind, and the main thought is that my gf is going to kill me, or worse, break up with me, and not to mention Azaria's stern warning.

But then looking at her, she has all this blue light, so much power, she could wipe me out of existence with a snap of her finger, yet she is still a girl and she is broken and scared.

She eventually stopped crying and went to the bathroom and when she came back she cleaned up well, she even fixed her hair and eyeliner, then she sat down and she started talking again. "I know you love your girl, I don't expect you to leave her or have anything to do with the baby or to provide anything, I just needed you to know what happened, and I can't exactly tell anyone, specially my mother."

"Why can't you tell your mother?"

"We haven't spoken in eons, I don't think she would even want to see me, and if she find out about this she would be furious."

"Common, she's your mother, I'm sure she will understand, she does love you."

"I defected, I was a pilot and a leader, but I got tired of that life, I wanted a free life, a challenge and I left."

"So you mean you will be arrested? What does your mother have to do with your career?"

"You met my mother, she holds very strong to our ways."

"I can't say that I have. "

Then she stood up and started pacing up and down still sipping her wine, well if gulping is sipping. That's when I noticed she's not wearing the same device Azaria gave us. "Wait, how did you get here if you don't wear one of these?" Throwing the device infront of her on the table.

"I don't need one." Then she stops and looks me dead in the eyes. "Azaria is my mother."

"That can't be, you don't look like any of us or the hybrids I've seen before."

She walks back to the couch opposite me and flops down and holds her empty wine glass out for me to refill.

"I don't think you should have anymore, it's not good for the baby."

"Don't worry, alcohol has no affect on me. Please fill me up or I will wipe that part of your memory"

"Geez girl, okay, no need to threaten me."

So I filled her glass up.

"You say Azaria is your mother, she's my mother too, every hybrid comes from her, but you don't look like us and I haven't seen a hybrid that can do what you can do."

"That's because I'm not a hybrid, I'm her biological daughter from her marriage, I'm pure Seleon."

"How is that even possible? They are huge I mean very tall, you are tiny and even shorter then my girlfriend."

"We are not all that tall, it all depends on the planet where you were born and grew up, my mother was born on our home planet, but she grew up on a ship in space while they were searching for a new home, I was born on our new home planet, the planet was young and had blue light everywhere, I was conceived and born there. That's also why I don't need that to move around."

"So what are you saying? That there are a bunch of your people who look like you and are what? Blue light mutants?"

"That's not nice, I'm not a mutation, I'm just a girl born on the wrong planet, and no, I was the only one born there, after my birth my people realized how the planet affects the babies and stopped all reproduction until they could find another world."

"Okay, but that would take years, how did your people not go extinct?"

"You still think small, yes humans live a max of 100 to 120 years, we have medical advancements that allows us to live forever."

"Yeah right, and how old are you? Let me guess 1000 years?"

"No, almost 500million earth years."

"Oh gosh I think I had too much wine, I'm sure you just said 500million earth years, or maybe you need to stop having wine."

"I'm serious, just believe me, why do you think Azaria knows everything about humans and the history?"

"It's called history, you know, you can read about it on our internet."

"She was here at major events, and so was I. After everything you've seen and experienced you won't believe me that I've been alive this long? Yet you've figured out how to use blue light to time jump, you've entered the void and came back, no being has ever been able to enter the void and come back, yet you are sceptical about my age?"

"Okay you've got a good point there, just give me a moment to take it in. So you are older then the human race, and yet look like you are in your early twenties, I must say you look great."

"Well that's not technically true."

"Which part?"

"The human race are much older then you think."

"What do you mean?"

"Let's just say earth was the prison planet for the humans after they attacked my people, we won the war and decided to disarm them, put them on a young world and let them start over, the idea was to guide them and show them a better way, but as you can obviously see, it isn't going to well."

"If that is true then why are you here? Why stay on earth? Why not go to one of your other planets or a different species planet?"

"I like it here, there is a sort of beauty to the chaos. Humanity has evolved in many ways, but I still have hope for them, my mother and I don't see eye to eye on that though."

So I made her a snack and filled up our wine. And continued to hear her out,

"So does your mother know you are alive and where you are?"

"Well she knows now."

"What do you mean?"

"When she brought your memories back she could see everything that you saw, that means she will know that I was on that ship with you and it won't be long till she decides to come looking for me."

"And then? "

She will find me and she will find out about the baby, and if she finds out it is you there will be quite a lot of explaining to do."

"But we had no choice, and something just occurred to me, you have all this blue light, how did you get taken by them when they took me?"

"First of all my people don't understand that, and secondly, I'm not a god, I'm still a girl, so I don't know how it happened, I was on a hike in the woods and they took me, I never even saw it coming."

"Understand what? Been forced by freaks to mate?"

"Yes that."

"So will we both be judged or what?"

"Not so much, you will be forced to tell your girlfriend and be told that you did it willingly, then you and I will be forced to go back with my mother and live there and be married."

"That sounds a bit excessive."

"My mother can be a bit excessive. "

Just them Zoe and John jumped in, they appeared in a flash of light.

They both looked stunned to see me with this girl.

So they both smiled and walked up to introduce themselves.

"Hi, you must be Kim, we are John and Zoe."

"No I'm not Kim." She looks at them suspiciously, "you guys can drop the act."

"What's going on here, do you guys know each other?"

Zoe. Sighs. "Yes we do, we have met before, she's Seleon, Azaria's daughter, she was the one who captured me when I was still controlled by the implants and helped me recover." Then she looks over to the girl, "what are you doing here, I thought in your customs woman don't do interstellar travel while they are pregnant, unless? " then she looked back at me.

"What's going on here? Do you know how this looks?"

"What do you mean?" Now I'm totally confused.

Zoe, "Seleon woman stay on the planet they fall pregnant on till they give birth and they only talk to the father of that child while pregnant, they don't interact with any other males."

"I didn't know that part, and I can imagine what this looks like."

Zoe, you know what Azaria said, hurt Kim and she will break you, and all the while you were cheating on Kim with her only biological daughter? This isn't going up end well for either of you."

That's when the girl had enough and she spoke up, "first of all, I'm no longer part of my people, I left, get that into your human brain, I'm no longer subjected to my mother, secondly he didn't do it willingly, he was forced, he can't even remember."

Zoe, "Chloe my dear, that is what you like to be called? You really are something, so you used your abilities to force him into bed with you and then wiped his memory. Really, that's low, even for s spoilt little brat like you."

Chloe. "That's not how it happened, we were both taken by the roque greys, they forced us to mate and then just left us, instead of attacking me, you should be helping me find a way to protect this baby, you know they will come back for her, just like they took you and johns baby."

Zoe. "I thought your people wiped them all out."

Chloe. "We obviously missed some."

Zoe. "Then we are going to need your mothers help. "

Chloe. "That's not an option, you know our ways, he will be forced to tell his girlfriend that he willingly cheated on her to protect my integrity, then we will both be forced to move to the capital planet get married and stay together for life, and a Seleons life as you know is very long. I won't do that to him."

Zoe. "I know your customs, I spend 2 years with your people after they got my baby back, and I haven't seen my child since."

Chloe. "I know, and you won't see your child till she finished her education."

Just then both Zoe and I started feeling an itch in our necks and without thinking started scratching our necks.

Chloe, "shit, what the hell, she's here? Why? which one of you sent a signal to my mom?"

Zoe. "You looked at me the entire time, I never touched my blue light device since we got here."

Me. "Hey, don't look at me, mine is laying right in front of you."

That's when Chloe grabbed the device, she tapped all over it and then went pale. "Yours were set to alert my mother the moment you find me. She's here."

Zoe. "Then why don't you jump to a secluded spot on earth where she can't find you? I'm sure she will be pissed at us. But she will leave shortly. "

Chloe, "I can't." She picks up the device and turns it around, you see that red glow, it's technology my mother developed to block blue light. I am stuck here."

John. "Love use your device and get her out of here. I will stay here and we will explain."

Zoe starts to tap on her device frantically, "crap, it's not working. "

Chloe. "It won't, the jammer blocks all blue light in a ship wide radius, or in easier terms, imagine a city the size of New York City, that's the size of the block. We are trapped."

John. "Then take a car and drive away till you are out of the jamming zone and jump."

Chloe. "It won't work, the first thing she would do would be to zone off this property, there is no leaving, and she would have deactivated all blue light devices on earth till she leaves. "

Just then a blinding light appeared like a doorway just like before and we were all forced to cover our eyes.

"You can all open your eyes now, the fracture is closed."

As I looked up I saw Azaria standing there, but this time she looks pissed off, and she's wearing some sort of armour covering her entire body, her hair tied up.

"Sarine, I'm really disappointed in you, you vanished without a trace, then fell pregnant and to top it all off you decided that I don't have the right to know what happened to you."

Then she looked at the 3 of us one by one, "and you guys should know better then to think I don't have the right to see my only birth child."

That's when I noticed, she wasn't pissed, she looked sad and like she wanted to cry.

Chloe. "I'm sorry mom, I just couldn't handle the constant space jumping anymore, I just wanted to experience life, I knew how much you wanted me to manage the fleet, but that's just not me."

Azaria. "And it never occurred to you to sit down and talk to me like an adult? I thought you were dead, I've spend years looking for you, I eventually gave up, I really thought you were dead, and then when I saw you on that roque ship in his memories been tortured I got my hope back to find you again."

Chloe, "I'm sorry mom, and I'm sorry about the baby, I didn't plan it, and neither one of us had a choice."

Azaria. "I know, I saw what they did to the two of you and it's neither of your fault."

Me. "How? I can't even remember."

Azaria, "because I decided to not let you remember."

Me. "Why not? "

Because of Kim, I need to figure out a way to explain everything to her first, she really loves you and this will break her heart."

Chloe. "Mom why not just leave them alone?"

Azaria, "no, you know our ways, even I can't change that law without the approval of the counsel."

Chloe. "Then get it please. If you get it I will return home."

Azaria. "I will call a meeting with them, but I can't promise anything. But as for you" pointing at Chloe, "you will come to the ship, and receive a tracking chip."

Chloe. "No, I'm not one of your hybrids, I'm your daughter."

Azaria. "Look, it's for your own protection so we will know when you are in danger, I'm not risking your life while you live on earth."

Chloe. "While I'm on earth?"

Azaria. "You can't travel through fractures while you are pregnant, and honestly, you suit earth, I think it will be good to have a presence here, no offence to you guys." Giving me and Zoe a quick glance."

"None taken." We answered robotically.

Azaria. "Sarine you have just been promoted to the official emissary for the Seleon people on earth and head of the resistance against the invaders."

Chloe. "Mom, thank you. But it doesn't make sense, I'm not even a ..."

Azaria. "You have proven yourself. The decision is made, you can remain on earth for as long as you like."

Chloe. "What about the counsel?"

Azaria. "Leave them to me."

Then she went up to her daughter and gave her a hug. "Now look after my grand child, okay? I will be back for the birth."

Chloe hugs her back, "thank you mom."

Then Azaria looked at the 3 of us, and you guys look after my daughter and my grand daughter, or I will relocate all 3 of you to an uninhabited planet."

Chloe. "Sorry guys, I can't argue there, she doesn't joke."

Then Azaria taps on her device and they both vanish into a blinding light again.

John. "We are so screwed."

Zoe. "Why?"

John. "You heard the giant lady. "

Zoe. "We will just need to work harder now and keep her close."

John. "And fight a war while babysitting?"

Zoe. "No, she's actually far more powerful then anyone of us, her blue light even exceeds the other Seleons, she's a bit of a rebel though. But not a baby. "

John. "Great, so now we have a super mutant fighting with us, are we the ..."

Chloe, "That's not very nice, I am not a mutant, I'm just a girl."

We all jumped up and look to the corner of the veranda where Chloe is standing, her red hair is back and she's wearing a more lose fitting dress.

Me, "I see you changed your hair color?" Without thinking.

Chloe. "Yeah, my mom didn't like the black hair. "

John. "Wait. How did you get back? We didn't see the light."

Chloe. "Well I know how much you guys hate the bright light and how much it hurts your eyes, so I dropped in on the other side of the house."

Zoe. "I like the dress by the way, it suits you."

Chloe. "Thank you, my mother said a pregnant girl can't walk around dressed like a soldier, so she got me a few outfits."

Me. "Outfits, With everything I've seen so far I'm not even questioning anything anymore."

Then Chloe walked up to me while smiling, "by the way, you are going to be a dad, it is our baby, and she's healthy. "

Me. "Wait, how are you so sure?"

Chloe. "My mother ran a dna test."

Me. "Wait, so fast? And she never took my dna."

Zoe. "Uhm wrong, they created us, they have every hybrids dna. Oh and by the way, the Seleons don't lie."

Me falling back in the chair, "I'm so screwed, I need more wine."

Chloe. "I agree, it's something to celebrate, well alot to celebrate, I'm having a baby."

Me. "Im totally screwed, the wine is over there, help yourselves please. Glasses is in the kitchen cupboard, in one of them."

John. "Im always up for a drink." Making his way to fetch the glasses.

Zoe comes to sit next to me, "why don't we take a walk, I can see you need a friend to talk to."

Me. "Great idea."

So we decided to take a walk to the front of the property and sit on the grass.

Zoe, "what's on your mind?"

Me. "Kim, she will never forgive me for this."

Zoe. "Azaria will explain everything to her, but you got to choose, you can't let Chloe walk away, when Seleon woman falls pregnant with a man she becomes his till one or both of them die, they basically love to the end, and they only love once, they can also only have one child. So if you don't choose her she will never move on. But she will respect your decision. Even though she will remain alone till you die. But even then she will never love again or commit again."

Me. "What are you saying?"

Zoe. "What I'm saying is that Azaria is going to tell Kim, but Kim is human, well a hybrid, yet has a lot of human in her, if anything happened to you she will eventually move on as if you never existed. But Chloe will never do that, she will love you even if you don't accept the procedure."

Me. "What procedure? "

Chloe. "The procedure that eradicates the flaws in your dna, the flaws which causes you to get sick, age and die."

We both jump up.

Zoe. "I didn't see you there."

Chloe. "You guys need to get inside, they are here."

John coming walking out of the gate holding 4 glasses of wine and he is already sloshed. "Who is here?"

Zoe. "Babe we were gone for 15 minutes, How much did you have?"

John. "Hiccup, a lot, it's been a while since I've had good wine."

Me. "Great he dug into our wine, Kim is really going to kill me for that."

Chloe. "I said get inside, " and just like that she flung all 3 of us right through the gate."

Zoe. "I forgot how powerful she is." Picking herself up off the veranda floor, ouch that's going to leave a mark."

That's when the gun shots started. And we heard men and woman screaming.

I jump to my feet and as soon as I take a step to run towards the fight I feel someone diving me down, I look to see John and Zoe holding me down. "Let me go, they are going to kill her."

Zoe, "no, if you go out there you will die, trust me they can't kill her, we have tried, we had a unit of over 100 soldiers, we were all firing at her, but our bullets got deflected by her, not one got close to her, we even fired rockets at her and they never made it half way to her."

Me. "But if those soldiers are been controlled she's going to kill innocent people. Let me go."

Zoe. "No, calm down, she's not killing them, haven't you noticed that your neck is still itching?"

That's when I stopped struggling and realized their ship was still in orbit.

Zoe. "She is just disarming them and the ship is taking them and removing the control implants."

Then they let go of their hold and I got up.

John."geez kid, you are strong for your size. " rubbing his face and pushing his broken nose back into place, I accidentally hit him a few times during my struggle.

Zoe. "Stay low and follow me."

We all crawled to the gate and looked, seeing soldiers getting flung around and weapons flying in opposite directions to them, and just before each one hit the ground a white light appears over them and they vanish.

John, "heck with her on our side we can win this, we don't even need to fight, she can do all of this without us."

Zoe. "No she can't, she's pregnant, once a Seleon woman reaches her half way mark they lose their ability to use blue light and it only comes back after they finish breast feeding the baby. "

John. "Okay we are back to been screwed again. How far along is she?"

Zoe, "one day to go till she becomes completely vulnerable."

Me. "How do you know."

Zoe. "The rate at which she's fighting and her blue light has already weakened since we came out here."

The battle continued for a few more minutes and then there was nobody left on the field besides Chloe, she fell to her knees completely out of breath.

Zoe runs up to her and helps her up and then shouts at us. "What are you guys standing there for? Help us."

So John got their first and picked her up like a baby in his arms and carries her back inside while I lock up, as I got back I see Zoe sitting by her, Chloe panting and sweating.

Zoe. "That was very dangerous, you could have died. Why did you block our blue light? We could have helped you."

Chloe. Laughing and coughing, "it's my last day I could fight before I lose my blue light, I needed to feel that rush, I wanted my baby to know that we will stand strong." Rubbing her midsection.

Zoe. "That was very stupid, but anyways it's over for now, there is nothing we can do to change what just happened."

Chloe. Sitting back up, "I wasn't alone, my mother came to help me. It was good to fight side by side. "

Zoe. "Azaria. I thought she doesn't get involved in earth affairs anymore."

Chloe. "May I please have a glass of wine? I was involved, so it was not an earth affair."

John. "What's going to happen to those men now?"

Chloe. "They will be returned to their families after been cleared of the implants. But will be instructed to await orders."

John. "And if they tell the world about your people?"

Chloe. "They won't, they will remember been in human hospitals after accidents. Not much else."

Zoe. "Well they know we are here now, it won't be long until they attack again, and we can only make one jump, once she reaches her halfway term she can't jump till her blue light returns."

John. "So we got what? A couple of hours? And where do we go?"

Zoe, "at the rate her blue light is weakening? I say minutes. We need to go."

So I grabbed a few things and placed my device in my arm and Zoe programmed it for the jump.

Zoe looking at me, you and Chloe will have to jump first and then John and I will follow. We should be about a few minutes behind you guys. "

John. "Babes, why don't you jump with her and we follow?"

Zoe. "She's pregnant, the device will only allow a family to jump together when it reads the baby, it will compare the dna and then only open the fracture if there is a dna match. "

Chloe. "My blue light is almost gone, we must do this now. " then she grabbed my hand and slapped the device and we were engulfed in blue light. When it finally cleared up we found ourselves at a log cabin in a Forrest.

Chloe. "How did she know?"

Me. "Know what?"

Chloe. "Where I lived?"

Zoe. "A courtesy from your mom, when you gave her the coordinates where to send your clothing she uploaded it to our devices."

We are back into hiding now, Chloe lost her blue light, but she seems happy, John is a good wood chopper and hunter, even though both Chloe and myself don't eat meat. Luckily Chloe has a flourishing vegetable garden even though I've never seen vegetables or herbs like what she's growing.

John and Zoe got the spare room and Chloe sleeps in her room, I took the couch, I still love my girlfriend and even with everything I've learned I can't betray her, I didn't betray her, I can't even remember what happened, I mean the seleons are very advanced, how do I know this is not some plot to break my girlfriend and myself up? Azaria was obviously not happy with our relationship. She could easily have orchestrated this pregnancy to break us up, but then Zoe says they can't lie. So I'm extremely confused. I don't know what's going on, it feels like everything around me is just falling apart.

I'm not sure when I will be able to post again, there is no electricity here and I need to safe my phone battery for when something happens.

They are all sound asleep in their beds, I find it difficult to fall asleep on this hard couch and with all these thoughts racing through my head. So far I've had Zoe here twice, John once, he found Chloe's wine stash so he is a bit sloshed again, and Chloe 5 times all trying to convince me to just go sleep in the room with Chloe. But I can't, yes there is a connection and there is feelings, but I'm not sure if it's been manipulated by the Seleons or if it's real. But like I said, I love my girlfriend and cheating is not an option. Even though a part of me knows that she's probably or definitely going to dump me when she finds out about Chloe and the baby, and I know she will. Azaria's made that clear.

There are so many things running through my mind, and even if it was just the start of her pregnancy an abortion isn't an option, a Seleon woman can only fall pregnant once, and they never seem to have bothered to find out why. So I wouldn't want to ruin this for Chloe.

Sorry I just had Chloe here for a few hours now, she came and poured us wine, she said she can't sleep, she's thinking of the beautiful future her, myself and the baby got ahead of us. I didn't have the heart to tell her about my doubts, I can see the love in her eyes, and she made a fire and flopped down on my lap, kept pouring us wine till she fell asleep eventually, I just carried her back to her bed, she tried to keep me there and begged me to stay. But I couldn't.

It's almost sunrise and John already came out of the room and made us coffee, he went at me for sitting on my phone and not been in bed with Chloe and the baby, he kept going on about how he wish he could have both his wife and baby under the same roof, how lucky I am and bla bla bla, I eventually stopped hearing what he is saying, so he went to chop more wood. I can hear Chloe waking up now, but I am so confused, not about the war, atleast that part is more clear now, but what must I do? If I abandon my girlfriend I'm walking out of a very long relationship and hurting a woman who stood by my side for years, if I abandon Chloe then she will never find a mate again and be humiliated in the eyes of her species, and she will remain alone for as long as I'm alive?

And the worst part is if the invaders find us we can't jump out of here because of Chloe's pregnancy, we tested it and both our devices are inactive. So this is all too much for me to handle.
