Chapter 10.1
My mother... she was liar... but wait, was she really? Did she really do those things? Did she really hide the truth from me? None of this makes any sense. Mom would never hide things from me. She was always open with me and told me the truth. She never once lied. But yet this crazy man comes along and says she lies. Says she and the government hide things from me. My true past, my true heritage. But those things can't possibly be true right? Mom's never lied to me. Not once. Those things can't be true. They're not true. Mom would never lie to me. I refuse to believe the words of a crazy man who obviously has delusions. I won't believe or accept it. I won't! I can't.
Without another word, my eyes begin to open. My body sluggish as I pick myself up. Where am I? My eyes begin to look through the environment. All around me, different sizes of beakers, paper stacks, and other tools lay scattered about. Beakers? I'm in a lab! But... why would they bring me to a lab? Must have wanted to study something here. But what? I don't know. But then again, it's probably best not to ponder on it. Well too much anyway. My feet begin to take me to the door. My hand reaches out for the doorknob. But I was stopped.
My eyes pick up a sound. Its small volume rings loudly in my ears as I look to its source. On a nearby desk is a computer. On the screen, an alert for a FaceTime call. Should I answer it? Hmm. Well, I could just leave it alone. And to be honest, it's probably best to. But yet, that sound is going to continuously bug me until I answer. Either way I'm going to have to answer. Oh well, lets just get this over with. I go over to the computer. My hand hovering over the laptop touch pad. A slight caution briefly comes through my mind. But I push it away and click the message. Regret immediately surges through me.
"Good evening Lady Kitana. Or should I say, princess? You know what, it doesn't matter right now. It's good to see you're awake. I have some... information I think you'll want to see" the man says, his usual cheery attitude strangely missing. Him again. I swear this guy is like bad ache, he pops up everywhere.
"More delusions?" I ask, my voice tired.
"No, actually I have facts. I've watch you throughout your Trials, Kitana. I am now aware of how you work. You like logic, facts, and truth. I am here to give you your facts. To prove to you the lies you're surrounded by. On this computer is files related to your DNA and family. As well as the falsification of your birth certificate. All of that is on this computer. Of course, if you don't want to look..."
"Just can it already. I'll look" I say, cutting him off. I didn't want to have to hear his poking and prodding of my curiosity. I'll look at it, but only because of he'll annoy me otherwise.
"Splendid! And before you dismiss this, these files are the truth." Yeah, and how am I supposed to believe that huh?
"And how do you expect me to believe you? You've been acting insane ever since I got here. You're not trustworthy" I say, my voice icy.
"My insane persona was but a ruse used to test you. It was a fake persona. Did you actually believe I acted like that?" Yes. Yes I did. He made it seem very convincing. My mouth opens. But I was interrupted.
"Don't answer that. Anyway, plus Kitana did I ever lie to you?" He asks me. My mouth opens but it promptly shuts. I was going to say yes, but yet... when I think about it... he has never lied to me. He told me about the hallucinations, albeit in a very vague and roundabout way. He told me the reason he kept me alive. Which, oddly enough, was very candid. And at the prison, he told me the password. Even though he probably knew we were manipulating him. He hasn't once lied to me. Not once.
"Well uh... nooo" I say, my eyes looking to the floor.
"Then you should believe me Kitana. I cannot and will not lie to you. I'm your godfather after all. And I was supposed to take care of you if Kollyn and Satsuki were to perish. I can't lie to family now can I? But please, take a look. Once you're done, head up to my office. I have the other part of the information there." The man's image disappears from the scene. The desktop comes up. My eyes scan through the files there and select the DNA file. Without another word, I pull it up and look through the information.
As I did, several thoughts ran through my head at once. This information... they must have taken a sample of my blood in order to do these test. And these tests, they did them ten times. And they all came to the same result. Positive. My parents... they really are Kollyn and Satsuki. They are my parents. My dad. My mom. The crazy man was telling the truth. I... I can't... I can't believe this. My mother...
I scroll down the page and find five DNA tests between me and my mother. All the results were the same. Negative. So it's true. My mom, the person who raised me, wasn't even my mother. She... they... her... no. No no no! This can't be. This can't be! Why? Why?! Why did she never tell me?! Why was I never told?! Why did she hide this from me?
Quickly, I exit out of the file and take a look at another one. This one was family pictures of me and my real parents. My mom, dad, and I. We all smiled together and were so happy. One picture had mom in the hospital crying while holding me. Her smile as bright as the sun. Dad was there too, hugging us both. That must have been the day I was born.
I go to another one. This one had mom, dad, and I together on the floor. I was playing with blocks. Dad was helping me put them in the box while mom was watching us both with a smile. I continue to go through more and more pictures. Each one containing all of us with a smile. Heck, there was even one where I had threw up on the crazy guy as he was holding me. We were so happy. Mom and dad loved me. We lived a great life. But now their gone.
My life could have been like that. I could have had a happy life with my mom and dad. But, that possibility was squashed by the person I called mother for so long. She hid this from me. And I won't forgive her. I won't forgive her what she's done. I will never forgive her! As I take my leave towards the crazy guy's office. I swore to myself that I will find out everything. And that I will know what was stolen from me a long time ago.
