I stayed hugged to my mother for what seemed days than a few minutes, I couldn't say a word out in those moments all I could do is hug and cry...
"I'm- I'm sorry mother, I-I-I didn't know-"
"Shhhhh, it's alright, your father thought you well, to know common information to things that are more sensitive..." she's said softly...
"How did you even meet?" I asked...
"Well... I was out... umm..." she stumbled in her words looking for a way to explain things...
I looked at the direction her head was turned and I saw bones, I looked more carefully without leaving and I saw a small pile of human bones...
"Hunting..." I said nervously...
"Yes..." she said with her head hanging a bit low...
"Mother, I don't blame you for hunting part of my kind, for all I know there is only so much you can eat in -1 (dash one)" I said trying not to sound excited...
"-1 ?" She asked...
"That is what I'm calling this space, the people that came here, that *clears throat* were your victims, were captives from a 'tribe' that lives in secrecy from the rest of the world, they classified this space as SCP - 860 - 1, and my guess is that is not long before they send more people..." I said...
"Why would they use our name for this?" She asked...
"They don't know that it is part of your name... but back to my question how did you meet with my father?" I asked...
"Right, my apologies, he came into this space and walked casually along the path, I tempted to inflict fear into him but he didn't seem to be affected, I decided to confront him, I walked out hiding and stood in-front of him, but when he saw me he smiled and kneeled, and he said 'Hello there, my name is Mark Su, what's yours?', he was first individual to react friendly with me since I got stuck in this place..." she said...
"Wait, you got stuck here?" I asked in concern...
"Yes, how old are you now Alan?" She asked...
"14 years old, why?" I asked why responding to her question...
"I think I might have been a few years younger when a gateway opened and pulled me in it, I've been living here ever since..." she said...
I was dumbfounded, I was "apparently" the son of a extraterrestrial life form...
I might have made some sort of face because when I came back to my senses she was looking at me concerned...
"Whats the matter mother?" I asked concerned...
"How did you manage to get here? Your father kept saying that it was getting too difficult for him to come here, speaking of him, where is he?" She asked...
I didn't know what to say, I looked down trying to think of something to say to her, but I didn't want to make her suffer...
"Son? What's the matter?" She said concerned...
"I- umm, I..." I stumbled myself trying to say anything but the fact that he had passed away...
"Son, please, talk to me!" My mother pleaded with me...
"Mother... Father... he's... dead..." I said trying not to at the same time...
I looked at my mother and she just looked shocked... I had no choice but to continue speaking...
"He died of a heart attack, he said something about that he couldn't care for me anymore, he would put me under the protection of someone far more capable than his knowledge could..." I said struggling to not to cry...
I could just feel that my mother was at her limit, she was struggling not to cry, I had no choice I just went with my instincts, I just hug her, she hugs me too and falls on her knees to the ground sobbing quietly, I tried crying but I couldn't the feeling of joy of finally having a mother was great, what pained me is that I had to tell her these news this way...
I heard her getting control of her emotions and backed away...
"One moment Alan..." she said as she got up and went deeper into the cave, moments later she came back with something on her hands...
"Here..." she said...
I looked at what she had on her hands and it looked like some sort of diamond like crystal...
"What is this?" I asked...
"This is supposed to be your gem..."
"Gem?"
"It is an item that allows the children and their parents to connect, however, since your father was human, this gem did not come connected to you, I practically gave birth to it at different times..."
"So every member of your species is born with these gems on their bodies?"
"Yes, mine is on the back of my neck, I did not have a choice where it was placed... here, have it..."
"What am I supposed to do with it?"
"Place it on your body, somewhere where you think is the most safe..." she said...
'The most safe place...' I thought...
I kept thinking and I went behind my neck and as the tip of the gem touched my neck, I felt pain so much pain and then everything went white...

(Vision)

I saw colours among the light, I saw some black figures then I saw they had tails and then I saw a little girl similar to the black figures, but I could see the girl far easier to see her colours and defined form than her assumed parents, she was talking to her parents and I walked closer, she suddenly looked at me and I stopped, her parents looked at my direction and seemed happy, I took a step back and I saw another black figure go through me, they hugged and seem happy, the little girl ran somewhere and she seemed happy, I followed her and I saw her stop somewhere to play with some fruit trees, and her parents weren't far behind, I looked closer at the little girl and saw her similarities and I realized, that was my mother, I stepped closer to touch her head but a portal opened pulling me in too, her parents not a great distance behind started running to her, I grip slipped and so did hers, we went flying in the portal, I got up and saw her crying, then time seemed to speed itself, I saw the little girl grow and experience things for the first time like a time lapse, then I saw the encounter with my father, I saw how happy and close they were to each other and I saw something I never thought I see...


My birth...

I saw how happy my mother was when she was holding me in her arms, and my father there, helping her nurture me, some time skipped and I saw something strange, I saw my mother crying and my father with not a proud face, I just walked closer to hear to what they were saying...
"There has to be another way..." my mother said...
"Unfortunately, there isn't another..." my father said...
"But when will I see you...? Either of you?"
"I do not know, but I do promise you will see our son again..."
"I don't want either of you to go... what if something happens you either of you?"
"Something will happen, if the Foundation finds you or him, it will be a very rough life for both of you, he will never have a childhood, or have much of a life for that matter, he will only know pain and suffering with you, I want to give him the childhood he deserves but I still wish you could be part of that..."
"Still..."
"I know my love... I wished so much that there was another way, but I looked at every possible scenario, and I don't see one that our son has both of us..."
"Alan... you will remain in my heart..."
" *coughs* "
"Love?"
"I'm alright, I have been experiencing health issues for a while now... Love... Once I can't care for him anymore, take him, care for him, I'll do all I can from the other side..."
"I'll be waiting for both of you..."

Suddenly I got pulled out of that moment and I just saw a bright white light...

(End of vision)

I opened my eyes to see my mother crying, her hands on where her "mouth" is supposed to be...
"I never thought you would have to go through all that pain... let alone..." she said through her quiet sobs...
"I don't know what I would be without you, I'm sorry you had to go through all of that..." I said back...
I remembered of the crystal and I went to the back of my neck and I started to feel the edge of the crystal, then I started to feel it, the crystal was wedged in my skin, as it has been a part of me my whole life...

I later felt something, pain, accumulate, then I felt it all over my body, it then started to accumulate in my arms and legs, it later went on I felt my gem do something, I later saw tree roots come out of no-where and cover me, I felt my whole body get covered, and yet, I wasn't panicking, I closed my eyes and felt the roots, I then felt a head-ache and the roots didn't put any resistance, rather...

They felt normal...
"Alan?! Son are you alright?!" My mother asked in desperate concern...
"It's okay mother... I'm fine... in fact... I feel..." I trailed off...





"ALIVE."





(I did a art piece about it and that's one reason why I took so long and once again I am camping... so it might be a bit slow on progress but I am still trying guys don't give up just yet....)
