The Last Star

Identity Crisis. I don't know why.

Chapter 5 - I don't know why.

The Last Star

I don't know who I am anymore.

On second thought, I don't remember.

I squint my eyes and try to recall what previously happened days before.

Weirdly, I can't seem to remember.

It's like, someone else lived in my life. That's weird.

But whatever, I should probably go to the doctor and see if it's anything serious. Probably not, right? I'm perfectly healthy... The last time I checked.

I mean, going to the doctor for a consultation is probably okay but I really don't want to be around people. It makes me neverous.

I guess I could go tomorrow, it's a saturday and I let Trevor represent me in my meetings.

Then... I fell asleep.

Blurry visions, a light blinded my eyes. I get up and look left and right.

I'm in a doctor's office. I see Trevor and a doctor examining me.

Trevor takes a step towards me and says.

I saw you in your bed this morning, you never fall asleep like that, you also had your formal dress on, you never like to sleep in that.

I suddenly got angry and stormed out of the room. I... don't recall why.

The scene goes to an office. This was three days later.

Selene is sitting in a chair, while someone in a formal attire asks her.

Has there anything else happened? Yeah, after I stormed out, I went to a bar. I drank and drank until I was picked up by a black car. I woke up hangover. I never drink, I don't even like alcohol.

I wake up in the car, I immediately move away Trevor. I don't know why. I look down while Trevor asks me if I was okay. I answered seconds after, stuttering, I said I was fine. But that time, I felt uncomfortable.

I would never feel uncomfortable near Trevor. He's been with me almost all my life. He's like my guardian angel. I don't know why. That situation was really weird for me.

The guy in the formal attire asks me again. Before he does, I look back. I see a sign that says. " Dr. Miley. Therapist. "

I was in a therapy session.

He asks.

Anything happened after that?

I answer, yes. Two days ago, I suddenly felt shy in a meeting with the Minstar. I looked down the whole time. I felt shy. I don't know why.

Yesterday, I also left lunch early to go to a sports game. I don't like sports. I don't know why I went to that game.

And lastly, this morning. I asked questions, that were easy.

The therapist asks, What? Easy?

I answer, yes. Questions that I should've had answers to. It was weird. I don't know why.

The therapist says, have you ever experienced anything traumatic?

I answer.

Yes, my mother left me, um, uh.....

It's okay, you can tell me. The therapist tells me.

In Selene's mind she says.

I don't know why. I shouldn't have felt uncomfortable.

Y-yeah, my mother uh, left me yesterday.

The therapist asks Selene a weird question.

Selene? How old are you?

7. I'm 7 years old.

That session ended. The next day, the therapist asked the same question.

Hello Selene, how old are you?

24. Why, bro?

After that session, the next day comes. The therapist asks the same question again.

Hello, how old are you?

17, of course. Why?

The last session came the next day. He then asked the same question again!

Selene, how old are you?

18, why?

I'm think I know what's wrong with you. You have three identities besides Selene of course. I call them The Three A's.

In the first session, you said you were 7. That's your first identity. That's the age your mom left you. I call that Identity Alethea.

The second session you said you were 24, that was your rebel identity. You were dauntless. I call that Identity Achlys.

The third session, you said you were 17, that was when your father told you he'd leave the throne to you. I call that identity Anastacia.

These are your identities Selene. They make you, you. They come up on different days. Since our sessions were one week apart. I would say these are mild. You should learn how to control Achlys. As I said, she's not murderous, but she is rebellious.

Selene leaves the room, in shock, her doctors gave her medicine. To help her, it wouldn't cure it, but it would help her.

The Games are about to come. It's a tournament. It's when the three moon goddesses. As of now, the moon goddeses are of course me, Hecate, Artemis.

All I'm scared about, is Hecate. Each of us has a specific power, except for me though. I'm royalty, my mom won, it was a requirement for the queen to join this battle. Whoever wins, would get the crown. I guess the crown isn't fully secured.

Thats good, but on second thought.I wouldn't be able to protect Sapphire. That's a key problem.

I'd try to win this. But without a power, I don't stand a chance. Artemis is goddess of hunt. She is amazing at hunting.

As far as I know, I'm adopted. Yeah, I'm not real royalty. My mother is Theia and my father is Hyperion. Way back, there was no one to rule the moon. So some civilians voted and they found leaders. Generations after, I was adopted when they found out I was the daughter of Theia and Hyperion.

I was trying everything to find out my power. It led to nothing. I might have not inherited their powers. Maybe they weren't compatible gods? No, my other real siblings found their power so, that's impossible.

Yes, my real siblings, I have found them.. But I didn't say hello. I didn't want to disrupt their lives. I didn't say, hello, here's me.... I'm your sister and stuff. No.

What if I flick my finge--

- Selene flicks her fingers -

Dust in the air, there was a book falling in the shelf, but it was frozen in place.

I CAN STOP TIME!

She accidentally flicks her fingers again. The book falls on her head.

Ouch!! That was rude. Ooh! A story book!

- This is Alethea, not Selene -

Selene jumps on the bed and falls asleep.

Trevor opens the door, she saw Selene was asleep. He smiles and closes the door.

- The next morning -

Hey Trevor! How you doin'.

Selene says.

Trevor looks at Selene then answers.

Yes? Why are you wearing all black?

Why? I'm 24 I can wear this stuff. Oh, by the way, handle the meetings for me. I can't balance this Queen thing with my tournament.

Miss Selene, do you mean the competition? The one with the moon goddesses?

No, Trevor, my drinking competition. I gotta get recognition bro. It's easy, I'll go home this evening. Don't bother setting up dinner. When I come home I'm probably wrecked.

Trevor looks confused..

O-okay?

- Selene Leaves, or should I say Achlys -

Hey guys, let's do the drinking competition! This is gonna be easy!

A guy answers Selene.

Are you sure about this? You're like 18, you're beautiful, let's just continue this at my house, huh?

Selene squints.

No, bruh. You look like a pedophile plus a guy who was left by his wife because he was drunk all the time and you look like a thief. So, no.

The guy answers.

You're the one with a black t shirt and black pants, plus a black cap. Whatever.

Selene chuckles and goes over to the table.

Let's get this party started! Who wants to see me win this? Let's go!

Selene chugs three pitchers of alcohol then goes to the stage to accept her award.

I don't need that award man, I'm rich and beautiful. I don't need this. Seriously man, take it.

Selene walks in a wobbly line, drunk.

She gets picked up by a black car once again. She wakes up in the morning the day after, with confusing news.

WHAT!?
