********************************************
His words shock me and even disgusts me. How could he be joking at a time
like this? Or is it possible that my own father is Nasedo. That can't be....
"What the Hell are you talking about? Have you gone mad?" I said looking at
him with suspicion.
"Maria, it's true. That's why I had to leave. I couldn't endanger you and
your mother."
"How could you possibly endanger us?"
"Valenti began his alien search as soon as you were born. He became
suspicious about something. He came close to something. I didn't want him to
link any clues to me.."
"Dad, that's not possible!"
"How is that impossible if you hang out with aliens everyday?"
"What!" I did not believe he was saying this to me...
"You know what I am talking about exactly. Your three friends..."
"How do you know?"
"I just do. I watched them grow up. I watched you grow up. You thought I was
gone? I was never ever gone. I watched your mother and you everyday.."
I could not stop the sudden gush of wet tears stream down my
cheeks..again..This was like deja vu but in a weird way. I wanted to know
more about his link to Micheal, Isabel, and Max...
"Are you their father?" I asked...nervously..
"No, I was just sent to protect their incubation pod before they were found."
"Have you told them?"
"I can't interfere....too risky to get near them now."
"How did you meet mom? This is too bizarre!"
I sat down on the chair and planted my forehead into the palm of my head.
This was too weird, even for me...
"Your mother and I should've never gotten involved in the first place. Let's
just put it that way...I hurt her. I hurt you, Maria. I'm sorry..."
"Daddy....."
I instinctively stood up and walked toward his warm embrace. I let all my
tears dry into his shoulder. So many questions came to my head that I got
dizzy...
"This doesn't make sense, dad. How come I don't have powers? How come I
wasn't hatched? How..?"
"You have to understand, Maria. You can't ever have the powers that your
three friends have. They are full-breed. You're half human. The only thing I
believe you possess is a connection to them....That's why that boy is so
drawn to you.."
"Micheal?"
"Why else do you think he is so attracted to you? He is one of the most
closed off of all of them"
"Does mom know? Does she know that you're an alien? Does anyone know?"
"Your mother believes I left because I couldn't handle the stress of being a
parent. Let's leave it like that. She couldn't possibly understand."
"She should know, dad. She should know that she mated with an alien. I mean,
wouldn't you want to know if you were mating with a completely different
species??" I asked mockingly.
"She wouldn't understand..."
"I wonder where I heard that before.." I suddenly image Micheal somehow..I
wonder why.
"Maria, we have to leave now. "
"We?"
"Yes! We need to get out of Roswell as soon as possible and get away from all
of this."
"No...What are you talking about?" I am beginning to get scared...that he
was coming to take me away from where I belong..
"Let's all go..you, your mom and I...We can start over and forget about
everything."
"I don't know what you're talking about. Maybe you should go....."
"Maria, you know this is what you've always wanted."
"NO! I wanted you to come back and be with us. I didn't want to have this
mystery man from outer space come and try to ruin what I took forever to
accomplish. I'm happy here, dad. Can't you understand? Maybe for once, I like
my life the way it is..."
"I'll give you some time, then."
He stood up and walked towards the front door and walked out....walked out of
my life. Did I regret this? Did I regret the chance of having a normal life
with a normal family? But when has my life ever been normal since the day Liz
got shot anyway?
I wiped the tears from my cheeks and went to work. How was I suppose to
explain this to the little trio? That I was linked to them...that I...Maria
DeLuca was half of what they are. Maybe I do have a reason now to be closer
to them...
I walked into the Crashdown Cafe and sat in the employees lounge. Dah! I have
like 20 minutes til my shift started... Liz walks in with Max -kissing him-
as they collapse into the couch not noticing that I'm there..
"MAX! LIZ! GET A ROOM!" I shouted as they nearly collapsed onto me.
They snap back into reality and disengage as I gave them a disgusted look.
But isn't this what Liz wanted? Isn't this what I wanted for her-to be with
Max?
"Maria, you're early.." Liz said breathing heavily...
"Well...I had a lot of drama for one day. I just felt like coming to work
early. That is, if you want me to go.." I grinned...
There was an awkward silence after that. I took it as a clue that they wanted
to be together. As I stood up, Micheal and Alex run into the lounge all
shaken up...
"Isabel has something she wants to tell us at your house, Max. She seemed
serious on the phone." Micheal said looking at the three of us -max, me and
Liz-
"Yeah...Let's get to her now. She sounded really scared..." Alex said..
Our automatic response was to stand up and jump into Max's jeep and go see
what's up with Isabel...Did they find out about me? Did my dad say something
to her? I was stirred up by all these mixed emotions..
When we got the Evans' house, we all marched into Isabel's room. We stood
singlefiled in front of her...waiting for an answer..just something. The
suspense was killing me...
"You guys...something's happening..something really weird." Isabel said
slowly.
