Thelyn and her adventure on earth
The spaceship was going into a tailspin, the shots from the enemy ship caused serious damage, as soon as Jekeir could redirect the coordinates to another planet to save his family, the speed of the spaceship was maximized, it was a silent landing in the middle of the forest.
"Mom but don't forget the details"
"If Thensen, don't worry, I'm the one telling the story to all your friends."
The crew of the spaceship left dizzy, they were three: the father named Jekeir, the mother named Shaniz and the Daughter named Thelyn, did not suffer any damage, the three were stunned by the vegetation that was in the place.
Thelyn, excited, with those eyes bulging more than normal, asked
"Dad, what's the name of this planet?"
"Earth daughter Earth," Jekeir replied, and checking the ship noticed that much of the engine had been damaged.
"Stay here, I'll be right back," Jekeir said.
"Honey, what are you gonna do?"
"Love I'm going to see how the inhabitants of this planet are, enter the ship and invisibilizala and do not leave there, take care."
Jekeir ran at great speed, this species can run very fast, it was already evening and he had to proceed quickly before dark, he arrived at a place in the forest where he could observe some humans and thanks to two antennas that he had in his head could record everything he saw, these antennas were small and soft and allowed him to do that and much more.
It was already night when Jekeir returned to the ship, his two loves embraced him with such force indicating that they had missed him very much, he took the hands of his wife and communicated through the antennas they had in his head, Shaniz could see in his mind the information he had about humans.
Shaniz and Jekeir still holding hands closed their big eyes and in a matter of seconds they took the appearance of the inhabitants of that planet, then they took the hands of their daughter and she also changed her external appearance, finally each one pushed the antennas towards the inside of his head.
They left the ship in a state of invisibility and went to the nearest town, there they located an immense library and Jekeir on hearing the librarian speak could immediately change his language to the native language of the planet and communicate with her, the more they read the more oriented and confident they felt, read very quickly and could store information thanks to their antennas which appeared a little through their hair every time they read.
Shaniz and her daughter spent much of the time on the ship, sometimes reading in the library, while Jekeir had got a job in a small company as a text translator thanks to the help of Sandra the librarian. After two months they rented a small house, all three were very happy to feel part of that world.
Shaniz became an expert chef, her most sought-after readings were cooking and she watched every video about culinary art, she loved to surprise her family with different dishes every day, she was an exceptional woman.
Little Thelyn grew up very fast, she was only five years old and looked like a teenager from that planet, the species to which she belonged The Kahiluz developed from the age of seven, her parents kept her at home, she studied under the tutelage of her parents, she learned so much that at her young age she had a wide knowledge, however she wanted to be like another inhabitant of The Earth and go through the same stages and still could not do it.
Jekeir learned a profession through his permanent readings and practices on his own, he was an extraordinary expert in the branch of Information Technology, which allowed him to forge the necessary documents to enter the company recognized worldwide PeepShow™, was climbing positions within the company, became a top executive very recognized in a short time.
"Thensen's mom, sorry. But did they still live in the same place?"
"No, that's a good question, girlfriend."
When Thelyn turned six years old, Jekeir took her and her mother to buy a beautiful house, they chose one with a garden of beautiful flowers of different colors in the main entrance, the girl was very happy, so happy that every time she remembers that day her eyes become cloudy, as the most beautiful memory of her childhood.
"And why do you want to cry? Is that part of the narrative?"
"Please don't interrupt anymore."
In that house they lived for a year full of happiness, Jekeir had climbed a very good position in the company where he worked, Thelyn was still studying on her own, hoping to develop to complete her growth and be able to leave without fear of being seen growing from one day to the next inexplicably, her father had already arranged everything necessary for her to enter the University when she turned eight, where she would appear as a seventeen year old girl with all her preliminary studies completed.
"Today is the most beautiful day of my life," Thelyn said,
She was turning seven years old that day, and everything had to be perfect, she had written a list of desserts that she wanted her mother to make her as a birthday present, the girl was happy but for now there were only three at the party.
Jekeir had gone to work and on the way stopped at a toy store, bought a medium sized, beige teddy bear with a red flower on its head, so that she would never forget that she would always be his beloved daughter.
Jekeir was on his way to the parking lot after his workday as he did every day, carrying the stuffed animal for his daughter, and was suddenly surprised by two guys, one on each side.
"Friend must accompany us"
said one of the two subjects, showing him the weapon he carried.
"I think I'm mistaken for someone else."
"No, I don't think so"
they grabbed him by the arm and took him to a black limousine, opened the back door and pushed him in, so that he wouldn't forget that they could be rude and mistreat him whenever they wanted.
Inside the car there was a very tall, stocky subject with a very thick voice, he greeted him and Jeiker recognized him, he was the owner of PeepShow™ companies.
"I don't understand sir, what did I do wrong?"
said Jeiker.
"Nothing, I know perfectly who you are, can't you feel the energy around you, or have you become so human that you stopped being a Kahiluz?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Don't make me laugh"
and in his presence took on its original appearance
"Don't play with my patience, I investigated you, I know everything about you and your family, I felt the presence of a Kahiluz in the company, and I found you"
"What do you want?"
"You know that our purpose is to destroy the planet, then be reborn as conquerors of worlds and take more and more of the universe.""It's not my goal, I got here by accident and I've lived very well with these people."
"Accident? According to my research you were running from your own people, you're a traitor."
"No, it's not like that, I just don't share the idea of destroying and harming others, I refused to do that and I was called a traitor and had to flee."
"I understand, but this is inevitable we have almost everything prepared, no human being will be alive, the virus will be deadly, by air, water, land, there will be no escape, I will kill all this filthy species."
"When will that be?"
"In five years I will be the greatest conqueror of worlds, my victory will give me the glory I have waited for so long. You can help us, you are one of us".
"Let me think about it."
"Think about it, if you know what's good for you, by the way enjoy your only daughter's birthday."
Jekeir came home nervous, told Thelyn to go up to her room that he needed to talk privately with her mother, the girl actually hid to listen to her parents' conversation, she knew something bad was going on she could feel it, and she heard everything.
Jekeir and Shaniz had already planned what to do, they called their daughter and sang her birthday, the father gave her the stuffed animal and everything went normally.
Suddenly Shaniz told her daughter that they had to go for a ride, that a taxi would come for them, Jekeir told him that he would go later in his car but in the morning he needed to go to work as usual.
"Dad, please come with us."
Thelyn begged him in tears.
Shaniz took a folder with many papers and said goodbye to her husband with a deep pain in her soul. Jekeir gave her a tender embrace, Thelyn embraced her father with great strength, her tears still slide down her cheeks, she didn't want to get into the taxi.
"My beautiful girl, I'll catch up with you tomorrow, take the bear that will protect you."
Finally they went in the taxi, Jekeir stayed in front of the house to see if any vehicle was behind them, but he saw nothing strange, so he went into the house, ordered some things, and transferred all his money to a third account that he and his wife knew, and went to bed.
The next morning Jekeir got up, cleaned up, had a quick breakfast, took his briefcase and went to the garage looking for his car to go to work and talk to his boss, but when he opened the car door this exploded, making an explosion that took his life and destroyed the house.
On the outskirts of the city, Shaniz woke up crying heartbrokenly, the connection with her husband had ended and that could only have a reason and she knew it, Thelyn also went through the same thing, had lost the connection she had with her father thanks to her antennas, the two embraced and cried a lot.
"If it feels bad, leave it here."
"Don't worry little one, I just got a little garbage in my eyes, and the story continued"
Shaniz got an almost magical fortress, suddenly she took her daughter and continued the journey to where she had planned with her husband, on the way they destroyed the cell phones and promised never to go back. She rented a small house to live with her daughter, sought work as a cook in a small restaurant, had some tests done and was given the job immediately.
For a year Thelyn was at home without going out, time necessary to complete her development, she had become a beautiful and intelligent woman and her mother had achieved great achievements in the culinary art. On Thelyn's birthday she and her mother ate a cake and started crying remembering Jekeir, they cried a lot.
Thelyn because of her sensitivity confessed to her mother that she had listened to the conversation she had a year ago with her father, and needed to know how they were going to proceed under such information, Shaniz hugged her and felt truly accompanied by her daughter, however Shaniz had planned to speak with her that same night.
"We have to run away daughter, this planet has no salvation"
"Mother, all inhabitants will be eliminated, and we won't do anything to prevent it?"
"Understand Thelyn, we can't help."
"Do you have the coordinates where our spaceship is?"
"No, I don't, I thought you did."
"um, wait, I'm going to look for something important."
Thelyn brought the bear her father gave him, looked at it carefully and noticed that it had a small opening in its ear, and there she found a piece of paper with two coordinates and words that said You can do it, I love you.
Thelyn enrolled in college, she wanted to study electronics, her goal was to be able to repair her ship by herself and leave with her mother of the planet, although her intellect was broad needs to get the practice and technology, to have contact with people who could help her, but well knew that it was better to hide their origin and the ship.
Her academic performance was brilliant, she was able to advance to higher levels in a short time, the dexterity and capacity that she showed were unique, the professors felt equal and even many times surpassed, she spent her time in the practice rooms trying to live the theory that she already manages to perfection.
In spite of her fame of chica-genius she was very introverted, to get to form a friendship with her was very difficult, it was as if she did not allow it or simply did not want it. Every afternoon regardless of her academic commitments she would go alone to repair a little more the ship.
One day in the advanced robotics class, which was a special subject she enrolled, the work teams were assigned for the final project and she had to work with a young man named Ensen, a very intelligent boy with very beautiful green eyes.
Thelyn had already known Ensen for five months and a beautiful friendship had arisen between them, she felt safe by their side, as if everything could be achieved. That afternoon, as always, she was going to repair her ship. Confident in her car, she went to the woods, she arrived at the site with a deep breath, that smell reminded her father so much, she removed the invisibility of the ship and began to work. Suddenly she heard a voice that greeted her, she could not believe it was Ensen in front of the ship, she put her hands on her head as if she could not bear the idea of being discovered, the consequences, her mother, her future, everything passed through her mind like a flash movie, the boy was still screaming and jumping to be seen from outside the ship, Thelyn took a deep breath, thought she couldn't do anything else, just open the door and get him through.
"Hi Thelyn I'm sorry I followed you, but I suspected you were hiding something, your attitude, do you understand me, what is this? How did you find her?"
"Calm down Ensen, breathe, calm down."
"How do you want me to calm down? Look at this huge ship, it looks like a dream, ah, maybe I'm dreaming"
"You're not dreaming, it's mine"
"Who gave it to you?"
"You're smart Ensen, don't you deduct what's going on here?"
"Ok, you're a beautiful extraterrestrial who came to save humanity by studying electronics, and... and you've come to look for your great love which you have in front of you."
Thelyn at hearing this felt her whole body tremble, could not control her emotion, her hands were sweating, she was discovered in her feelings for him, Ensen embraced her tenderly and she reciprocated in the same way.
"You can count on me for anything,"said Ensen.
She told him absolutely everything, Ensen was shocked to know that humanity would be destroyed, he felt powerless, helpless and very sad.
When Ensen got on the ship he looked like a little boy, touching and asking about everything that was there, it was very nice for Thelyn to be able to share something of such importance with someone other than her mother, the two stayed up until night planning how to finish repairing some damage to the ship, that meant involving other people.
"Excuse me, but Thelyn was bad. She wanted to go alone. I didn't want to tell anyone else."
"She was afraid of what they might do to her if they found out she was an extraterrestrial, listen and you will understand".
Thelyn confessed to him that this was not her true appearance, but that she was still not sure she wanted to show it to him. She invited him to her house that night to have dinner with her mother and he accepted very happily.
When Shaniz saw her arrive with a friend, she was stunned, the three of them ate together that night and Ensen kept saying how good the whole dinner was. Then they went into the living room and Thelyn told her mother that Ensen knew everything, and what they had planned to do. Shaniz was nervous about her daughter, she thought she trusted that young man too much, now it was just a matter of hoping for the best.
A week passed, and they had already consolidated a small work team: Esther, Jhon, Douglas, Ensen and Thelyn, all nerds. They would repair the ship and in exchange they would have a safe ticket to leave Earth.
Two months later was the presentation of Shaniz's book, she had written a very well elaborated and illustrated book of exotic dishes, Thelyn and Ensen were anxious to get to the mall where the event would be.
In the mall there were posters with Shaniz's face and her book everywhere, Thelyn was a bit nervous, but she thought she was exaggerating, she was proud of her mother who achieved her longed-for dream.
Suddenly Thelyn started crying, ran out and after her was Ensen.
"Why are you crying?"
Thelyn hugged him and started crying on his lap, he took her to the car and there like a little girl cried with loose mucus.
"My mother died, maybe they're looking for me to kill me too, I'm alone".
"You're not alone you've got me, and maybe you're wrong and your mother's fine, it's just a delay."
"My connection to her is lost, put your hands on my head."
He could feel the two antennas coming out of Thelyn's hair and she explained to him that through these antennas they maintained a connection, that no longer existed
They heard on the news that much of Shaniz's house had burned down and she had lost her life there, Thelyn was heartbroken and Ensen took his home, when they arrived Ensen introduced her to his family, his father, his mother and his little brother, gave her a painkiller and she fell asleep, he stayed by her side all the time.
The next morning Thelyn woke up with an idea in mind, she wanted to leave the planet as soon as possible and help as many families as she could, Ensen agreed with her.
They worked hard and finished repairing the ship, specified the number of people they could carry, and took charge of supplying the ship's warehouse with food, seeds, water, and medicines.
Thelyn spent her tenth birthday on Earth with her friends, they sang her birthday, and that day Ensen asked her to be his love forever and she accepted.
Thelyn and Ensen studied the second coordinate that Jekeir left, and it was about a planet called Urshnall, they discovered that this planet had similar conditions to the Earth; Thelyn trusted deeply in the good heart of her father and knew that everything was going to go well there.
They had everything ready to go, some people were very nervous but it was normal, anyway they were given a tranquilizer to calm them, some children played around the ship, other people cried when they knew the fate of those who stayed.
The ship took off and everyone came to this beautiful planet Urshnall and have lived very well here for ten years.
"Miss, did the inhabitants of Earth die?"
"Sadly, they did. That planet is populated by the Kahiluz."
"Children the story is over, thank you for coming, you are always welcome here, go home."
"Mom, thank you for telling the story to my new school friends."
"Whenever you want, my dear Thensen"
"Thensen, what's your mom's name?"
"Thelyn, her name is Thelyn."
Thanks to the people of @bananafish and @calluna for this wonderful contest Tell A Story To Me - Why Mankind Left Earth
There is so much depth to this story, in a way it’s a sweet tale, of a young girl who grows up under the shelter of her parents, protecting her from the worst of their own species, taking her somewhere she can grow and develop into her own person. On another level, there is a greater tale of sacrifice and conflict
What I love most is the bridge that is built between these two very similar species, they have been able to ignore their differences, finding that on a moral and emotional level they have a lot in common. The thought you have put into this is fantastic.
The connection between Thelyn and her family is a really emotive element, being able to sense each other, and tell when they’d gone. There is so much joy and sadness in this, it is just beautifully told. The way Ensen steps up when her mother passes away, the acceptance she finds with him is really touching. The aspect of her parents passing away, but still shaping her life, they aren’t there to guide her at the end, but they gave her the knowledge and tools she needed to make her own way. What greater gift can a parent give a child!
The trust she is able to place in her father, he may have given his life to keep her and her mother safe, but he was a good hearted man, and in the time he had with her, he raised a good hearted daughter. Her parents didn’t believe in the ways of their people, choosing peace and caring, knowing her race were planning to destroy all that she knew must have been a burden for her. It really comes together in saving other families, there is something about this that reminds me a little of the story of Lot and his family, in that Thelyn couldn’t save the world, she couldn’t stop the destruction inbound, but she saves all the good hearted people she can. I feel like the society her and Ensen created, and raised their son in, has the potential to be the best of people. This was such a pleasure to read <3
Thank you for your comments.
Beautiful story, so many things that happened Thelyn on Earth and still helped those who could. I understood that Thensen is her son and by the combination of names I infer that Ensen is his father; I wish you would continue to know a little more about the result of that great love. On the other hand, it is very sad to know that many humans died because of the virus.
Congratulations and lots of luck.
Thank you, I am touched by your words, it is good to know that you have made your own deductions and you have succeeded.
Very good so far I will be back to read the rest.
Thanks for reading my story, I'm glad you liked it.
wow that is quite a story - are you writing a book :o
If it's a whole story, I'm not really writing a book, I've had that story in my mind for a while and it seemed convenient to write it now.

That was very nice of the Thelyn to take a bunch of families to a planet they knew nothing about. How much fun that would be; I wish I could find out. Maybe the recent Area 51 invasion will uncover some ships and we can go to a distant planet.
