Jill had been the unwanted child of a single teen mom when she was born in 1986.
Her parents had forced the teen mom to put up her child for adoption as soon as Jill was born.She was the lost child that her
mom still yearned for but never spoke of.
But she had brothers ,sisters and a mom who shared her DNA.The magic
which had created her did not stop there.
Bill woke up from another nightmare.he was suffering from hot and cold flashes,and barely avoided screaming.
The dream was the same as the earlier ones.He was in the future observing the world from his future self.
That was the nightmare.His future self was a female and she had the mind of a predator,she had the mind of an alien.
The dream always began the same way.His future mind puzzled over why her past self did not follow the Directive.Then she would thrust his mind with her talons and force him to feed,to lay eggs,to follow the
Directive.When he was reluctant and screamed his mental anquish,she dug her claws in deeper untill the pain forced him to obey the Directive.
By the time the dream ended his sense of what,where and when he was
would be a little more eroded and the rythmic pulsing of her muscles
as she laid her eggs and filled the Directive brought her joy.
Then the dream would end and he lay curled up in misery ,cut off and
in a weak human body.It would take several minutes for him to realize
he was not a egg laying alien from the future.
Recently other changes were occurring.A few nights ago he had woken up and realized his hands were curled up like claws.Last night he had woken up and found a black and blue patch of his chest skin slowly
fading back to a normal colour.A few hours later the skin where that
patch had been had started drying out and flaking off.There was a
reddish bruise on that area of his chest.
As he slowly slid out of bed his elbow snagged on the bedsheet .Slowly he pulled the bedsheet off his elbow and looked at the object which had pulled out of his skin and was still embedded in the cloth.
It was a curved spine,a quarter inch long,shiny brown and with a patch of skin still attached to it.
