Chapter 1.6 - WHY DID YOU LIE

SCENE: HOSPITAL

"I know you've been lying to me about everything, but mostly about who I am. I said, wishing it wasn't true, but then my mom says... "Your right"

"It's not the time to tell him" my dad replied

"But he needs to know"

She walks and takes a seat next to my hospital bed.

"Stephanie can you please step out for a while"

"I want her to stay," I said, but I knew she wouldn't believe anything she would hear.

"What I'm going to tell you only the three of us on planet earth should know, Stephanie please step out for a while it's for your own good" she repeated

She walks to the door debating whether to go, you can see the frustration and worry on her face.

But when she steps out the door and closes it, my mom looks at me with teary eyes, while giving me a weak smile and says:

"We always wanted a baby but were unable to produce any, we would pray morning and night every day until one night a man who flew from the sky carrying you right into our arms, we questioned it but didn't receive any answers, so instead we thanked the gods".

"What am I," I said with a shaky voice

"We don't know, but I can tell you that your something amazing, and your still our son no matter what".

She pulls me into a hug and instantly I gain a vision. It felt like it was that night...

NINETEEN YEARS AGO:

MOM'S POINT OF VIEW

"I'm sorry but you're not pregnant" I was devastated but I got up with an emotionless expression, and left.

While walking to our car:

"It's okay, next time for sure it will work," my husband said with a worried voice

We've been trying for 2 years now and every time we heard the same answer...

YOUR.....

NOT...

PREGNANT.....

"No, It won't, we've been trying over and over for two years now" I fell to the ground, tears streaming out my eyes. "I'm broken," I said with a devastated voice.

He bends down and hugs me while saying "don't say that, the gods will answer our prayer, just hold on a little longer". As those words washed over me I got up trying my best to hold onto my last bit of hope

IN THE NIGHT:

We just finished praying when suddenly a bright light flashes outside from the sky, we rushed under our bed and stayed there for a while, until we hear a knock at the door, slowly we got up to check and a man with a baby in his hands was standing there. We thought he was a Angel he was wearing a white robe, with black shoes, and HE HAD WINGS!!.

I fell to the ground only to wake up to him beaming a white light into my head. His eyes were different this time, it was black before, but now it's white and his wings are gone. As soon as he sees that I'm conscious, he says:

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience, I've been hearing your prayers for over two years unable to do anything but then I realized that this baby was in danger...."

"Are you God?" I asked with a fascinated tone.

"No far from that," he said with a laughing voice.

"So then who are you," I asked

" I can't tell you that but I will give you this ring to give him on his 20th birthday, so he can find his way home"

"Wait what?"

"I'm answering your prayers"

Without thinking, I Instantly get up and run over to the baby stopping in front of him, he's crawling around the house and then he looks at me, instantly I become mesmerized, his eyes are a light shade of blue, his air is white but slowing changing to brown, and he has wings but it's slowly fading as if he's trying to look as human as possible. Curious I ask "what is he?"

"I can't tell you, all you need to know is that he's your son from now on"

Before I can react he opens the front door and flies into the sky, I quickly run outside but he's gone.....

PRESENT:

That was the night I was brought to earth but how was I able to see it. I wasn't mad at my parents anymore, I could feel that they only wanted the best for me.

Suddenly my mom releases me and hands me a ring, it has wings shaped on it's and in the middle, a name is written on it 'ATLAS'.....

Who's Atlas?.....
