Future Angels

Sussa came from an elite family in Egypt. Her ancestors came from the royal line of Egyptian Incas and princesses who have powers and have the special ability to change the fate of people. She grew up sheltered but taught how to protect herself using the sword and physical contact sports like Jujitsu and wrestling. Her body built is smaller than the usual girl size but her power comes from inside not on her muscle toned physique. Her dark skin and long silky hair with beauty like that of young Naomi Campbell would always make men drool and almost started a uncalled for war in her city, when she turned a suitor who is very influential and rich who lives near Abdeen Palace on the Nile River.

Before the royal family lived in Adbdeen Palace in Cairo, Egypt but the Malik of Egypt and royalty was abolished in 1953. Sussa's suitor Malik, son of Malik senior, wanted to marry her by the decree of the Egyptian government, but since Sussa's family is from the line of high priests, she was supposed to become a priestess but since this system was already abolished, she remained a virgin and will serve the gods for life. Yet Malik didn't want that and forced her to marry and have sex with him out of wedlock. Sussa disagreed and this made Malik angry and asked his father to infiltrate her family and their Fuad. Yet Sussa's dad ordered a decree to make peace for the sake of his people by asking them to dine with the family and talk about the issue at hand. Senior Malik agreed and when he knew the childish schemes of his son he decided to withdrew from the supposedly was against our family and made a pact with my dad to always have peace and love between the two families and communities always. Malik junior was outraged and left Cairo for good.

I never saw him again, so good riddance!

That's insane!, Hailey said while eating her jerky and drinking her orange soda in can. And how about you? What's it like to be a salamander?, Sussa asked

It wasn't nice at first, but I learned to adapt and tried my best to be normal as possible. But things aren't really normal and I know I couldn't be, in front of my friends, only with my family and relatives who knew me ever since.

I wasn't really an amphihuman but a nerdy girl from the ghettos. Unlike you I didn't have a fancy room, clothes or family but a simple yet happy family in a small apartment in downtown New York. I still remember our apartment that smelt like stale eggs since the furniture is all rugged and worn out. Mom and my big sister would cook mac and cheese from free coupons. And dad would come home with his little salary from selling dishwashing soaps and cleaners. I never complained about the smell of our room nor the food or my family, they're the love of my life. But the one that I despised God with, if ever there is really one, was when he took them from me. Dad one night had good news coming home from the market he was working at. He said he got promoted to supervisor of the maintenance department and we needed to celebrate, so he supposedly going to take us to dinner at a pizza parlor near our apartment.

I always ask him if we could eat there but since he only receive a couple of dollar income every week, the money wasn't enough to get by so we couldn't. And then that time that we could eat there, since dad had a raise and a new job, some mother f*ckin' robber used a knife to stab my parents and sister to death. He didn't get any money just $20 for the pizza we were supposed to order at the parlor. He was so upset he didn't get anything from them, he decided to kill them and I left. HE got scared seeing me and that I was still a child. He was cold and heartless and left me all alone in the stinking with vomit and trash filled street I the middle of the night, hungry. Just for $20 he took away my family from me and I never forgave him for that.

Sussa said nothing and she couldn't help but get emotional with what Hailey told her about her family. She stood from her bed and went to Hailey's bed side and hugged her tight. Hailey hugged her back and cried on her shoulders. She still couldn't forget the man's face and the misfortune he brought to her life until now. It's not easy to forgive but I need to for my sake. It's been ten years since that happened and I need to move on with my life, already. I became an amphihuman when I thought my life is over and I wanted to jump off the cliff in Nyack. I didn't know that when I hitchhiked the fellow helped me wanted to bring me to New Jersey. I shouted at him to stop the car and I'll get off but he wouldn't do it. I made a scene and was shouting for help from inside the car and so he decided to stop it and dragged me out of the front seat to I don't know where. The last thing I know I was already at a cliff and I knew that It was Nyack when my dad used to tell me stories about when he and mom were still younger and then went hiking, that was the place they usually come to.

It was beautiful and I wanted to jump and die with my parents there. But when I was about to, a beautiful woman caught me and saved me pulling me away from the cliff. She and I disappeared from somewhere and I just woke up in a facility, and that was when I met Sara checking on my vital signs inside the clinic at the academy. It was Reka who saw me and saved me that day. She was my hero and I owed her my life. It's a turning point in my life that I didn't want to waste, so I'm still here and alive in front of you. I want to make a difference in someone else's life just like what Reka did when I needed help.

I wasn't your typical innocent girl and behind the glasses hides a genius that wanted to let others think that she is naïve, snob or crazy. But the truth is I am smart and I know things better than others do.

When I was a little girl I usually play with my cousins' toys like those tiny plastic soldiers, robots and miniature animals, cars and trucks. I imagine them as real and create my own stories of adventure, horror or romance. Even before Twilight or Underworld was written and came out and made to be movies, I already pictured the story in my mind and the characters who played in the series were Edward and Bella. I believe that we are all inter connected and that what supposed to happen in real life will always happen, whether I am the one who discovers or creates the story, book, novel, movie, perfume, game, NFT, business, product, organization, group, etc. If they are bound to happen or exist they will through me, you or anybody that is born and lives on earth. Meaning, whoever or whatever we are, things, events, circumstances and stories happen whether we like or not or whether we participate on it or not.

If I wanted to create a product and or experiment on a new medicine or drug to cure cancer or Covid or HIV, even if I'm not successful in doing so, there will be another person before or after me that have probably tried to create the same thing or maybe try to create the same product. If I wasn't successful in creating the drug, if it's really needed and important to the world because it'll help many, it will eventually happen and yes, we were able to create a drug for HIV or AIDS patients, one that could help make the sickness slow down its progression and kill the patient abruptly. Many confirmed that the drug HIV patients use now can help make the HIV cells on the bloodstream sleep as long as they take the medication for life.

How wonderful and bizarre! But as the granddaughter of Revilum and the daughter of D'EYE's head, I couldn't ask for more or a better life than this. Yet, of course students at Angels Haven would contest my being part of the elite team since I am the child of the two of the most powerful women in the world, and only had the position because I am a relative. So, it's more of like being in politics, knowing the right connections and taking the advantage of the privilege. I know if I were one of the girls at the academy I also would contest my being one of the chosen recruits to becoming a defender.

But the committee found something in me that sparked their interest and that I'm valuable to the team with my expertise in highly-technical and futuristic gadgets. They said they can use my smarts to enhance Science and Genetic Intelligence. But I also believe that even if I am or I am not recruited, there will always be someone that can take my place or be one of the Angel Defenders and it's true. We are given chances by God, universe and fate.
