The Siren Boy A Borderlands Story

Chapter 12: He's Alive

Eliza's Pov

I go to the Langdon house to babysit Alice. As I go up the steps to the door, I can see a device on the mat. I pick it up and it had a paper tapped on the back. It had the title "How to use Echo Device". That handwriting looked familiar. I take it inside and I see Alice on the couch. "Hey Alice, do you know who put this on the mat?" I asked her. She shook her no. She looks at the paper. Her eyes light up as she exclaims "It's Big Bro's handwriting!". I take another look at it and she was right. We look at the paper and follow the directions. It was complicated, but we managed. A video of him and this man beside him shows on the small screen. He asked the man "Hey dad, is it on?". Dad? That man is his dad? But Mr. Langdon is with his wife at the restaurant. "Yes kiddo, I'll leave you to it." The man said as he walked off. Odin sighed. He looks up. He starts to say "Hey, I don't know how to start this message. It feels weird talking to you like this. I guess with a "Hi"? Anyway, I don't know where this Echo Recording is going to end up at. Or if it even gets to the people. This was kind of for my family on Earth. I... I miss all of you. I just wanted to tell you I'm ok. I love it here on Pandora. I know I'm adopted, that man earlier was my biological dad. If you want to know how I knew, I over heard dad and mom talking about my mother. I'm home. I don't know if I'll go back to Earth to live there, I'll try to visit when I can. I'm sorry for all the chaos I may have caused. Don't look for me, it's for the best. I love you, all of you.". He sounded kind of depressed. He didn't want us to find him... that was heart breaking. Alice looks at me. She grasps on my waist, hugging me. I hug her tightly. I can't believe Odin is alive, but... he might not come back. What is going on with him? He's ok, that's the main focus at this point. After an hour, Mr and Mrs. Langdon come back. I show them the message. They were speechless. We didn't talk much. I went home, they allowed me to take the recording. I sigh as I lay in bed. I'm just happy he's alive.
