People say life is a mystery but I say life is a game that can twist and turn at anytime.
My name is Jupiter, I'm the Queen of Enceladus the home of aliens.
I have ruled my people well and earned respect from my subjects but when the humans invaded our planet, it took everything I had to stop them from destroying my planet so I let them take a sample of my blood for their experiments only to find out that they had injected me with a serum that would make me turn on my people.
My son cronus started noticing the changes and decided to talk to me about it but I just shook it off until I had my daughter killed then I called cronus" Son, my life's work has become a disaster, I've been making subconscious decisions that I regret and I don't want my people to suffer so I want you to help me" I said and he walked up to me and held my hand" What do you want me to do mother?" He asked and I smiled sadly" Kill me" I said and he took a step away from me and shaking his head in disbelief" Mother, why would I ever do that?" He asked and I walked towards him" Because I love my people more than anything so please do it" I said and he thought for a while before taking out his knife and placing it in my hand looking away" Mother I can give you my knife but I will not kill you" He said and I became angry" What are you afraid you can't do it or are you still a cry baby that you used to be?" I asked and he looked at me with hurt in his eyes" Mother why would you say that to me" He asked and I just scoffed turning away" You are too weak to do it because you are no more than a weak, feeble and incompetent man" I said and suddenly felt a knife drive through my chest and I turned back slowly smiling at him" A weakling shall never near my throne" I said before closing my eyes and letting the darkness take over me.Twenty years after I was announced dead, my bodyguard named Kane decided to retire and stay on earth.
This was what led to him meeting me after my reincarnation.
My new name is Carla Tannauser, the daughter of a middle class family who loved me for who I was.
I had just graduated when I bumped into Kane.
He told me all about his life on earth and I slowly started to like him but then he told me about Enceladus and his life there and I regained all my memories and he started keeping his distance.
I got a job as a cleaner in a big company until one day Kane brought the high priestess to where I worked" Hey Kane, its been a long time.
Where have you been?" I asked but he just nodded then bowed" Greetings your Majesty, if you don't mind I would like to take you back to Enceladus for your re-coronation" He formally said and the high priestess stretched out her hand and I took it.
We teleported to a space ship didn't take time to take off and fly into outer space.
I was given the best room possible and I must say it was fight for a queen.
I had a guard call Kane and within five minutes he was at my door" You sent for me your highness" He said and I smiled" Tell Captain Wanda to turn off the cameras and microphones in my room" I said and he looked at me confused and just nodded" Would that be all?" He asked and I just shook my head" But please come back" I said and he nodded.
He came back after a few minutes and gave me a questioning look" Come and close the door" I said and he did so.
As soon as he closed the door, I stood up and walked towards him" Why have you been running away from me? I thought we were friends" I said hurt clear in my voice and he looked down" Your Majesty..." He said but I cut him off" Don't call me that.
What happened to the nickname you gave me? What happened to Carls?" I asked and he just looked down unable to meet my gaze" Look carls not that our friendship went anywhere, we're still friends but not like before.
I'm your bodyguard and you're a queen we are two words apart now" He said and I held both his hands" No we are not.
I don't want us to be. Kane you're my best friend, I can't lose you" I said but he removed his hands from mine and looked up" I'm so sorry carls, but this is just how it is now.
I'm sorry your Majesty, I would like to take my leave now" He said and left.
On getting to Enceladus, the crowning ceremony commenced and my so- called sons were no where to be found" By the power vested in me by the God of Enceladus, I now re-crown you Queen" the highpriest said and placed the crown on my head but I wasn't still comfortable so I decided to return back to earth and rule from there and to my greatest suprise everyone agreed well except my sons.
On earth things didn't really change, well except for Kane.
He was now always with me but never talks to me and anytime my parents ask who he is, he just ignores and I tell them that he is a very close friend of mine.
On the day I decided to go back to work, Kane showed up at my door step" Are you ready, Your Majesty?" He asked and yes was my only reply but I didn't like how Kane is now, he's changed, overly respectful and also very formal.
I missed the time when it was just me and him against the world but now it's just me and him as my bodyguard.
I entered the company but Kane wasn't allowed in so he stood outside.
I was cleaning the toilets on the top floor when a blue light shone from the roof and everything started floating as if they didn't have gravity.
Everything dropped but so did some mysterious creatures.
They looked like crocodiles but they were able to stand straight and also they were able to talk" Greetings your Majesty" one of the creatures said" what do you want from me" I asked but someone else answered jumping down from the spaceship" Oh they don't, I do.
Welcome back mother" Kleenex said and smiled devilishly.
He walked towards me and put his hand on my cheek" You look beautiful mother, more than you have ever been" He said and I just slapped his hand off" Oh isn't that a bit harsh Queen Jupiter or should I say Queen Carla" He said and turned back looking at me one last time before walking towards the spaceship" Bring her" He said and two of the creatures apprehended me but its claws was cut off by Kane as he fiercely fought the others but he was greatly outnumbered so he couldn't defeat them and was taken too.
NARRATOR'S POV
After both Kane and Carla were taken, her parents arrived and saw the ruins along with the departing spaceship which had almost went past the exosphere.
On the spaceship, Jupiter's son kleenex, held them both in a cell but eventually released his mother leaving just her bodyguard at his mercy. Carla woke up minutes later on a strange bed so she hurriedly stood up and headed for the door but Kleenex walked in" Someone is in a hurry to leave" He said as he walked passes her into the room" What do you want from me, kleenex?" Carla asked and Kleenex scoffed" You know what I've always wanted but you just choose to neglect it mother" Kleenex said and Carla slapped him across the face and he screamed out in pain" Let me go this minute Kleenex and I'll let you leave but refuse my request and watch what will happen to you in a few hours" Carla threatened but Kleenex didn't looked fazed" Fiesty as ever so now tell me, how do you expect bad things to happen to me?" Kleenex asked and Carla tap a button in her ear that set off an alert that informs her team that she had been kidnapped but Kleenex slapped it off and crushed it" It doesn't matter what you do, my team will be here any moment from now" Carla said and sat on the bed" So while we wait on your destruction, can we talk about old times?" Carla asked but Kleenex angrily left and shot the door banging it very hard.
Carla walked our of the room and found Kane laying in a cell" Hey are you okay?" Carla asked and Kane woke up and turned facing her" Your Majesty, are you okay? Did Kleenex touch you?" He asked and Carla shook her" Okay then touch the button in your ear, it will set off an alarm that would alert the rescue..." Kane said but Carla cut him off telling him that she had already done it and he said in relief" Kan are you okay?" Carla asked but Kane stood up trying to open the door" I asked you a question" I'm fine your highness but my safety is not what's important.
What's important is you and I have to find a way out of this" Kane said and Carla walked away going back into her room.
