For as long as I could remember I had been obsessed with science and wanted to be a physicist. Unlike my classmates I spent every weekend in my parents garage doing experiments or reading books after a while I had read every book on science in our local library my parents hated the fact I spent all of my spare time alone however I produced good grades and my parents knew it made me happy.

Science over time had become my only friend because of my interest in science but it didn't effect me because I looked to the future and knew that one day my dream would become true. However my talent confused my parents because my parents were clever but my IQ was higher than anyone in the city my parents were both lawyers. My parents had met when they were studying at law school not much after they graduated they got married and had me. They were both popular and well known lawyers which meant they were often on cases therefore I was sent to boarding school as soon as I could.

The only time I came home was at Christmas and even then it as like I wasn't even there because even On Christmas they would be working. They missed my birthday, thanks giving and every other holiday because of being on trips so they would just make excuses for not being there, sending gifts that there assistants had clearly bought and ha yeah would promise to make it up for me. But when my dad had his accident and was stuck in a wheelchair I was bought back home to look after him in between school.

Dad stayed at home while mom went out to work but because dad wasn't working anymore her work load doubled and I probably saw her once a month even though I was back at home. My life changed dramatically I was switched from an a boarding school to a still posh but normal school. I was happy because I got to spend more time away from rules and politics however this school was just like the last. So as soon as I finished my exams I took the offer from the best science university in the country it was a journey back to my home town but it was the opportunity of a lifetime.

I was currently living in Central City walking back to my university accommodation from my job at Cc Jitters a coffee shop I had a few jobs in between my studies because my school fees were incredibly expensive and even with all the money my mother earnt I didn't want her to pay for my school fees especially since my father needed a full time career to help him which cost a lot of money also. As I was walking back to my accommodation to save money I received a phone call so I pulled it out of my pocket to see who it was which was my mother. So I answered the call which is when I heard a scream my mothers scream. "3,7" which sounded like coridinates before the phone went quite down for a moment before I heard a man speak.

"Hello Lizzy" a man said "who is this where is mother" I asked as I stood there frozen and panicking "She's dead just like your father and your next your race are scum to earth and will be obliterated" the man said with anger in his voice but I was also confused because he said race but I wasn't sure what he meant by that "Wait" I said as the phone cut off. So I quickly put my phone into my pocket before I ran to my accommodation to grab some things I would need. As I reached my room I quickly grabbed the biggest bag I had and filled it with clothes, some money I had managed to save up which wasn't much, a knife my father had given to me for my birthday along with some other things I thought would be essential especially if this was true and I had a murderer after me.

As soon as I packed a bag I placed on a big bag hoodie to cover up my facial features I needed to get back home but if I was being followed I needed to hide my identity I got on the next train home as I reached my house I saw police cars everywhere which only meant one thing that it was true my parents were dead so I hid in plain sight before sneaking past the police climbing up the drain pipe and through my bedroom window before pulling out my phone and opening up an app I had created in middle school. It was a coordinates app I put in the numbers my mother gave me and it was our house but more specifically a room.

So I stuck between room to room avoiding the police because I didn't want to be caught because that could lead to me being taken for questioning and I wasn't sure if I was safe right now, until I reached my parents room once I went in I closed the door behind me before walking around the room looking for anything that stood out until I reached a loose floorboard. So I reached for my bag grabbing the pocket knife and use it to pull up the floorboard and opening it quietly as I could. As I reached in I felt a box so I pulled it out before placing it into my bag I had to get out of here as quickly as possible.

So I headed back out of the room closing the door quietly behind me before heading back into my room and heading out of the window the way I came before I ran until I reached the nearest forest I had brought some camping gear with me so I set up a tent and a fire as it became dark I sat around the fire before I reached into my bag and grabbed the box before opening it and looking through it was a box full of letters and photos then I found an envelope with my name on so I opened it was a letter from my mother "Dear Lizzie, if your reading this letter something happened to me and your father so you need to know the truth your father isn't your father, I was already pregnant when I met him your father, your grandmother came from a planet called Krypton" the letter ended there.
