| The knock on the door scared Maria. She told Mary to go into the bathroom and hide. Then she walked over to the door and opened it. Outside stood Michael, Max, Isabel, Tess, Kyle, Liz and Alex. Everyone that she didn't want to see, and they all had a weird look on there faces. "Maria, we need to talk," Isabel said. "You went into my dream, didn't you Isabel," Maria said angrily. "Yes," Isabel said back. "You couldn't leave it alone," Maria said, getting even more angry. "Maria!!!" Liz said and tried to hug her friend. "Liz," Maria said and backed away from Liz. Everyone walked into the room, and Maria looked the door when everybody was in. "Mom, what's going on," Mary said, as she peeped out of the bathroom. "Nothing, come here," Maria said and scooped Mary up in her arms and hugged her. "Maria, you have a daughter," Liz asked with tears in her eyes. Her best friend split without saying a word, and when she comes back she doesn't want to hug, and now she has a daughter. "Her name is Mary," Maria said with a smile. "She's beautiful," Max said, and walked up to the little girl and touched her face. He felt drawn to her in some way. Mary closed her eyes the same way she did when Michael touched her. "Mom, he's also like me," Mary said as she opened her eyes. "I know, sweetie," Maria said, and looked at Max, who was a little confused. "So they know about me," Mary said happily. "No, but they do not fear it," Maria said to Mary as she placed her back on the ground. "Mom, can I do stuff in front of them?" Mary asked as she walked towards Isabel, who was smiling. "Yes, you can," Maria said. Mary walked to her toys and sat down. She took one of her dolls and changed it's hair color. Max, Michael, Tess, Kyle, Liz and Alex stood frozen. Isabel smiled and walked up to the little girl and sat down beside her. "Maria, care to explain," Max said as he broke out of his thoughts, "As you all know, Michael told me that he loved me and then left. I was upset, so I ran, but I was captured by FBI when I was getting on the bus. They wanted me to tell them about you guys. I was this close (Maria showed them between her fingers and they were almost together) to doing it, but I didn't, so they tortured me." Maria showed her back and it was all cuts on it. Liz was almost about to throw up. Isabel cried again as she remember the memories from Maria´s dream. "They held me there for about 5 years, and everyday I wished for you to come, but you never did. I found Mary there. She's an alien to. So when I escaped I took her with me. We have been on the run ever since." A tear ran down Maria´s face. Maria walked over to Mary and took her in her arms. Mary was biologically not Maria´s daughter, but in heart and soul she was. "I came here to warn you about the FBI and now I am leaving," Maria said and began to pack up hers and Mary's stuff. "NO!" They all yelled. "I can't let them take Mary, she is my daughter." Maria said angrily. "We can protect you," Max said as he walked up to Maria. "Sorry Max, you can't, you didn't save me last time," Maria said crying. "We thought you ran," Kyle said. "Well, if you cared, you'd have gone after me," Maria yelled. "Maria," Liz said and walked up to her. "Liz, I am sorry, but I am leaving," Maria said and hugged Liz. "No," Liz said and looked Maria directly in the eyes. TBC |
