Do You Trust Me? Pt.3
Do you Trust me? Pt.3
It was 2259, outside the small town of Lohrville, Iowa. This was where I used to live. Emphasis on the used. It was a charming place, we owned a farm. The house was creepy looking and sometimes it seemed like it would fall over but, it was home. " Why can't you be better you brat!" " Just do what you're told for once and don't ask questions!" " You're a disappointment to this family!" " If I'm such a disappointment l then I'll leave!" That was all that was heard throughout the house. It was October 2nd, my birthday. I ran upstairs to pack my bags. I was leaving for college anyways, most of my stuff was already packed. As I ran back downstairs, my "family" watched me. My little sister was crying because she didn't want to see me leave but, it was all I could do. I mean, Mo- Ranee thinks I'm the spawn of Satan himself and D- Ryan didn't care. I sighed before storming out and slamming the door to my old home for the last time. I got into my black truck and threw my bag into the passenger seat. All my other stuff was in the bed and backseat. Backing out of the driveway, I look at the house one last time before heading off to restart my life. It had been a few weeks, I was in Georgia. A town named Toccoa. It was a nice place. I was neighbors with a man named DeForest Kelly, he was rather nice and we played chess, cards, and checkers together. After I graduated I called some friends from High School. Annabelle, she answered right away, something she never does, and asked so many questions I couldn't understand what she was talking about. We met up and bought a house together outside of Toccoa, De and I still talked. That is, until he died. I lost one of my greatest friends, we were so close he was like a father to me. Goes to show how unlucky I am. Can't have anything nice. Joy found out about the house Annie and I bought, we hadn't moved in yet. Sara found out soon after. This leads us to where we are unpacking our things. Funny, I go into my past and how I got where I am but never explain who my husband was. He was a man by the name of Jake, Jake Bond. I would jokingly call him Mr. Bond as a joke. We married while I was in college, my second year to be exact. We go drunk one night and, well, that's where Natalie came from. When we found that I was pregnant he left me. I raised Natalie on my own. De helped me with her, being the grandpa she needed. She doesn't remember him much, thankfully. She would be devastated if she did. She's so brilliant and sharp. She's definitely my daughter. With the sass and sarcasm, it isn't hard to tell, that and she's a nerd like me. It was the day before I moved out that I got the letter. The letter from Starfleet.

Do you trust me? Pt.4
" You got one too?" " Yeah, I did." I turn around to see Annie, she holds up her letter. The same as mine just without my name. " We should accept." " I can't leave Natalie." " Joy can watch her, Mrs. Kelly can help too." "I-I guess." I agree. There's nothing much we can do. If I accept then I can do some good with my life, save lives, stop wars, and so much more. I call the number on the letter. "Hello?" " Hi, this is Isabella Sackfield, I wish to apply to Starfleet." " To be what exactly?" Crap, I didn't think about that. I'll go with whatever I say first. " A captain." " Alright, the next shuttle to the academy leaves on September 3rd. Have your bags packed and labeled with your name, age, and what you are going to be. Thank you for your application." I turn around to face Annie and say " I leave in two weeks, that Sunday to be exact." " I called too, I leave with you. We'll have to tell Joy and Sara." Fuck, we do " You tell them and Mrs. Kelly. I should pack." I know we have two weeks but I need to talk to Natalie. She'll be devastated if I die or anything happens to me. I let a single tear fall down my face as I walk up the creaky stairs. I have to be strong for her and prove that I'm better than most think I am. I have to prove them wrong. The two weeks pass quickly, Joy and Sara are going to let Mrs. Kelly live with them and pay for her house so she can go back there at any given time. Annie and I say our goodbyes before leaving. This is the second house I've left in what could be the last time. We make it to the shuttle and I place my bags in a separate one. We fly up to the academy to start a new adventure in our lives.
