'Mom...' Elizabeth thought wistfully when she heard what her father said.
Her mom left when she was still seven years of age. Where she left for? She has no idea. All she knew was that her mom tucked her into bed the previous night and the next day, when she woke up, her mom was nowhere to be found.
Initially, she thought her mother went out to get something and she went to ask her father. But the look on her father's face when she went to him told her that something was wrong.
"She said you should be strong." That was the only sentence her father could utter as tears streamed down his cheeks.
At first, she didn't understand what that meant but as time went and as she grew up, she came to understand a lot of things.
At age 10, she was given a dose load of shook when she found out about her mother's identity. Her mother was not from Earth.
