Chapter 1
Landing
Nova
I watched outside of my pod at my home planet.
The beautiful purple planet was on fire.
Pods of families leaving and the alien attackers where still landing.
I shudder in fear as I watch from afar.
A loud bang it the side of my pod, I quickly look just to see it was my sister's pod connecting to mine.
She smiled and waved at me.
I love my older sister Kaelen.
She's the most beautifulAurelianson our planet.
Well, second to our mother of course.
She had the most beautiful blue green skin, prominent markings contouring her face, full lips, high cheek bones, and a small nose.
And Kaelen's eyes were a dark purple, and the icing on the cake.
She had curly long black hair.
Every time we went out everyone would stare at her or complement her.
"Everything will be okay Nova.
I promise." I smiled at my sister.
"Thank you Kaelen... how much longer until we land?" She looked down at something on her lap.
"I few days... but we will be safe.
Now rest Nova." She said and placed her hand on her window and so did I.
"Okay." I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
I was woken up abruptly when my pod banged against an meteoroid that sent me hurling through space.
I quickly tried to communicate with my family but I got nothing.
For days I cried and slept, afraid to eat all my rations, I was also extremely hungry.
New but familiar planets came into view.
I couldn't exactly put my finger on it but I knew these planets.
Then a small chill shiver down my spine...
I knew where I was now.
The blue and green planet was all I could see now.
"No!
Any place but here!" I screamed, pressing the communication button in my pod.
I need to talk to Kaelen!
Momma!
Anyone!
I cried and cried as I got closer.
Something hit the side of my pod and I recoiled, and hit the side of my head.
Then everything went black.
"Don't touch it!" I feminine voice whispered and I could hear a slapping sound.
"But Ma'am, you know what we must do." The man said.
I had slowly opened my eyes.
A women was standing before in a white garment.
These Vesperans... look nothing like I was told.
They're not red with pitch black, fangs, claws, and horns.
They, in honestly look weak.
Soft?
I don't know how to describe it.
"Oh!
Hello dear." She said sweetly.
"H-Hello?" The women smiledwidely.
"She even speaks out language!
Oh this is really exciting!" She gushed to the men and women in uniformed garments.
"Dr.
Cuevas, don't forget your job here.
Run test on the Rexx infiltrator and see what it's kind is planning." The man most decorated said as he stepped forward, others following behind him.
The Dr.Cuevas changed her posture and cleared her throat.
"And letmeremind you General.
This ismyindependently ran research facility thatyouhave no control over.
Or shouldIremind you that your boss is also my husband?
Now leave the premises NOW!" The General mumbled under his breath and walk out, taking the uniforms with him.
The women turned to me and smiled.
"Hello?" I said again and she just smiled harder.
"Sorry the doctor loves seeing new aliens for the first time." A smaller women said with a bright pad in her hand.
"So what's your name dear?" The Dr. Cuevas asked.
"Nova." I said she smiled.
"And you you would be male yes?"Male?
"No?"
"Oh well on our planet you have the male genitalia and we call them males."
"I'm aMora." Confusion flashed through the women's eyes.
"And what's that." I felt my face flush at the thought of the answer.
"I will havethose," I said pointing at her breast," but I give theMohramy children to bare."
"Oh!
...
Well that is certainly different alright." She said looking at me then the smaller women.
"So what to theMohralook like?"
"Same skin color but with black markings that's vary.
Eye colors that very because we can change how we look-"
"Oh change right now!" I tilted my head and narrowed my eyes at her.
She a strangeMohra.I thought of her brown eyes and made them like hers.
"See?" She got closer and then did some kind of squeal.
"That's amazing!
Sloane!
Do you see this!
?" She asked the shorter women who rolled her eyes.
"Yes, now stop yelling." Vesperans are not so bad.
"Other that this what else can you do?
Like fly?
Super strength?
Lazier eyes-"
"Greer!
She's not a comic book character!" The Sloane women yelled at Dr.Cuevas.
"Oh hush!
Well?" She asked me.
"I'm pretty sure I'm not a lazier eyed monster.
But I'm pretty strong."
"Are your kind intelligent?"
"I was in a pod that came from a planet far beyond your kinds knowledge.
So."
"She's funny!"
"Ah...
Her blood is blue?" The Sloane said.
"This is too amazing!
Sloane!
I'm taking her." Sloane rubbed the side of her head.
"No Greer.
Do I need to remind you of thepetyou took home that started to bite children!
?
It was turning kids yellow!" Oh aZippy,pretty little things.
But they don't like change.
"Nova, I know all of this is still new to you.
But would you like to be my daughter?
My child?" I looked at the Sloane and sadness swirled in her blue eyes.
"Greer..."
"What do you say dear?" She asked again with a sweet smile.
"You want to be my Mother?" I asked and she laughed.
"Yes."
"B-But I have a Mother...I... already have one."
"N-No no, sweetheart.
I'm not trying to replace your mother.
I could and would never try to do that.
But you can come home with me.
And live a life here."
"Oh...Okay...
I'll come home with you Dr.Cuevas."
And that's how I became Nova Cuevas.I later found out why Momma Cuevastook me in. She had a miscarriage and her body and mental stability couldn't take losing her child.
She had a few since she took me in. And each time she would still smile and hold me.
Humans are such gentle creatures.
As the years went by I blended in with the other humans.
Taking on a form that I grew into.
Soon changing my body to look like the humans became simple.
I never really noticed it until I would look at my reflection.
And knowing that the person I see isn't me.
As the years went on I did keep myself distant from the females on this planet.
Mama Vance said it would too dangerous for me to date here.
Well she actually said not to have sex with them because of my genitalia.
But then again I never found any of them attractive.
But not having someone as my lover at my age is hard.
My kind are very territorial and we love hard.
By my age I should already have a lover and starting my family.
So I don't really have friends.
When I walk the halls of my high school students talk in hushed whispers but it doesn't bother me.
I've some pretty crazy things about myself I'll admit.
I'm a gangster, drug dealers, I was supposed to graduate years ago, etc. And everyone of them made me laugh.
Sometimes people tried talking to me and I respond back.
But I like to keep things short.
Not wanting to get too attached to someone and then have them reject me for who I really am.
Or telling everyone.
Telling everyone I'm and alien or the fact I have the male genitalia.
Which on this planet would cause some people to freak.But other than that living on this planet has been enjoyable.
Oh!
And Mamma Cuevas is pregnant, I'm gonna be a big sister.
A Friend?
Nova
I was walking down the hall and once again people looked at me and shared their craziest stories about.
"Yeah!
Did you hear that she killed someone?
That's why she doesn't talk to anyone!" Some group of girls said.
Now that's a new one!
I smirked and looked at them.
They squealed and blushed.
Humans are really funny.
I was about to walk into my psychology class when this girl literally fell on me.
In a swift motion I held her before she busted her ass.
I looked up to see a group of girl laughing but stopped when they saw me.
Then I looked at the girl in my arms.
"Are you okay?" I asked and she wiped the tears from her face.
Her very beautiful face...
I looked her over again.
She had a nice plump body, beautiful chocolate brown skin, full lips, and dark eyes.
"Y-Yeah." She said and I put her down.
And the girls were still standing there.
"We got a problem?
Why are y'all still here?" I said in a harsh tone and the scurried away.
"You didn't have to do that..." I looked down at her and smiled.
"But I did." She looked at me annoyed.
"Well... don't do that again." She started to walk away but I gently grabbed her wrist.
"I believe you're supposed to say thank you?" I said and I saw a small smile playing on her beautiful lips.
"Ugh!
Thanks!
Now let go!
I'm late for Psychology!"
"Oh?
Luck for you I'm heading there now." She rolled her dark eyes.
"Of course, when I get my schedule changed all of this would happen!" She grunted and basically dragged me to class because I didn't let go of her yet.
When we walk in the other students stare and share whispers.
