Best Kept Secrets

 "H...how? What are you saying?" I asked as I stood, sliding my chair back.

"I remade you. The original designer included possible ways to transfer ones soul.. so to speak into a new body. Now.. I couldn't figure our how these beings were able to shift size, that was not included in the information that was stolen.. but, the artificial womb, the schematics for growing the body with blood and tissue samples.. All I needed was those simple things, and your brain. So you were still you, but in a new.. better body. What I didn't realize was that the formula, the code I was working with.. was.. not generic." She sighed. "I didn't think you'd be able to do all the things they could do because I didn't have that coding to work with. What I didn't know was what I had was plans for a specifically female being. Now.. I don't know if the original designer planned to make seven of these females for these little guys, but I was using a rough draft of one." She looked up at the camera again.

"I didn't know this till I looked into it more. It's a bonding process, the more you were around them.." She looked back at me. "The more you started getting stronger, things became clearer after you came back from that resort with one of them. You changed, well.. started to." She smiled at me. "You felt it too I'm sure. I'm not positive how it works. Part of me wants to study you and them.. but a bigger part of me is still thinking like a mom.. and I just want you to be happy."

"So.. I'm... not real?" I was trying to process all this information.

"I was shamed that I re-made my own child. Ella.. you didn't die in that car not because Jason helped you... but because you are more than human. You could have held your breath for hours possibly." She informed me, my heart wrenched.

"So.. I could have saved him?" I asked, looking at her.

"I doubt it. You were not as strong as you were now." She replied.

"So he still would have died? There was nothing I could have done? Why did you change me? Why not him? Why not change him too?" I asked, spitting out question after question.

"I didn't have the ability to. Your father wouldn't permit me, and by the time I regained enough sense of myself... Jason was confirmed dead." She replied. "I changed you because I couldn't bare to see my child suffer and die. I remade you because you are my baby, and as twisted as it sounds.. I wanted to keep you. But you were so... normal. Like nothing happened when you awoke in your bed. Your father was so relieved and made sure I would never slip and tell you or Jason... maybe that's why he poisoned me." Victoria.. my mother.. was selfish, and mentally unstable without medication.. but she was my mother, right? Should I feel sorry for her? For what she went through? I didn't know how to feel about anything right now.

"I know this is a lot.. But I don't know how much longer I'll be around. Once your father finds out you've been here.. he's sure to kill me." She smiled.

"How can you smile at that?" I asked her.

"Sweetie.. I've not been a good person, I'm not innocent in any of this. Yes, your father has done bad things and is worse in some ways. I would never ask your forgiveness. I thrusted this upon you without taking in to consideration how you would feel as you grew.. as you became a woman. I didn't think, I acted." She sighed and looked back up at the camera. "All I can ask is that you seven complete her change. I don't quite understand it myself.. but from what I gather from the PI and the data Ella shows... somehow, the seven of you resonate with her." She looked back at me. "You're strong being around them. Not sure how.. but it's interesting and quite puzzling as well. If I'm still alive in the end, I hope to find out more. If not... I only ask that they take care of you, give you a good life." She smiled and turned again to the cameras.
