I bit the side of my nails anxiously, this was bad. Very bad, he wasn't going to trust me anymore and it killed me. I tapped my foot at and uncontrollable speed.

"So what are you?" I didn't look him in the eye.

"Both of you threw those football players around like it was nothing...And the hand thing" I look at him this just went from bad to worse. "That's not human, so I'm asking you again. what are you?" I looked up at John.

"Do I need to threaten you two? All right 'cause I got some pictures on my phone that are going to start some major questions" now I was panicking.

"Gimmie that"

"No"

"You know we can hurt you."

"Please don't hurt him" I said in a meek voice. John looked through his phone and smiled

"Knock yourself out" John came back over to me. Sam looked defeated and I wanted nothing to do but go and hug him. It was killing me seeing him like that.

"My entire childhood has been an episode of X-Files. You know what it's like to feel something so strong that everyday you have to keep telling yourself, your dad's gonna come back and take you away from this shithole. And that everything we believed in was true. And that we were not crazy. Please...please" he spoke and a few tears made its way down my face.

"We have to tell him John" I whisper. He looks at me and nods.

"Your Dad was right" I clear my throat as I sound husky

"What?"

" He was right. About ancient astronauts, life on other planets. All of it" he looked at us for a moment.

"Yes!" he exclaimed i chuckled "I knew...i knew he wouldn't leave us! I mean they found his truck near the border of Mexico, and he was just gone. Maybe they took him"

"Sam" John tried to stop him

"If he knew you two were here, he'd come home"

"You can't tell anyone" i told him taking his hand

"No, i..i..i wouldn't."

"No, no, no. you gotta promise us this nobody knows" John continued

"There are others from where we're from looking for us. We're not safe" I plead

"Sam! I know you are in there. Get your ass in the house now!" we hear his step dad shout.

"Wait till I get inside then go" he goes to leave

"Sam" I pull him back

"I promise" I let him go and he lets out another word of glee before going in. I turn to John and hug him which he returns

"Let's go home" he says I nod and take us home.

"Hey who was that?" I jump on the last step hearing the door close. I was ignored as John and Henri  continue their conversation.

"Because I don't like people showing up and asking questions. And I think this might raise a few." Henri brought a laptop over to the table of a website.

"'They walk among us.' What is this some more 'truth is out there' freaks?" John asked

"Except this is actually you." he played the video and it was of John getting his third scar.

"One of the kids must have caught you on video"

"Shit" we muttered

"I can't get through the firewall. We have to go there and take it down ourselves. Mogs see this it's just a matter of time. Pack your stuff. we're leaving"

"What?" I thought I miss heard him. I step away from the laptop covering my mouth please let this be a dream, please let this be a dream.

"I'm not going" John says

"I'm sorry what did you say?" Henri asked and I could tell this wasn't going to be good.

"I'm not going" he repeated

"Alright if you want to pick the next place then that..." Henri was but off

"It's not my fight and it never was. I can't even remember a world before this one" John snapped

"Wait, wait. Is this because of a girl" I covered my face this was so going to get ugly and I couldn't take it. Not when I was just told I would have to leave Sam

"Go upstairs and get your stuff." he orders

"You're not our father" John retorts.

"No, no, no, they're dead. They died for you. In fact you know what? you have no idea how many others have made sacrifices so that you could live. And I wasn't so you could come here and experience puppy love like a real live boy!" I then run out and to my bedroom. I heard commotion go on outside but i just collapsed on the floor crying.

"This is not happening, this is not happening, this is not happening" I chant over and over again

"Maggie?" I heard Henri.

"no, no, no, it's just a dream, it's just a dream" i rock back and fourth

"Maggie what's wrong" Henri tries to put his arms around me

"No!" i scream moving away. The ground beneath me begins to shake.

"You can't do this to me! you can't I won't let you!" I shake my head

"Not you too Mags" I raise my hand up and he begins to go up in the air clutching his throat.

"You will not take me away from him, he is mine...I love him!"

"Ma...gs" he struggles.

"Shut up just shut up! don't say a word your ruining everything"

"Maggie!" John shouts then I felt a pair of arms around me.

"Maggie calm down. It's Henri you can't hurt Henri remember. Just breathe listen to my voice concentrate on it." I stop and listen to him

"That's it good girl, shhh. It's okay you're okay" Henri drops to the floor panting as i revert back into sobs.

"where's Sam? I want Sam" I cry

"You'll see him once you calm down okay?"  I sat there for a long while until my tears dried out.

"Will you leave me alone for a few minutes" John nods and stands up to leave. Once he's gone I go under my bed and pull out a box. Opening it is see Alexis' dagger I grabbed before I left although I tend to bury that memory. I hated that I didn't leave first but I had to take it I didn't want it getting into the wrong hands.

It was a reminder of her and the only one. She was the only one I lost. And now I was going to have to leave someone else I cared about. I stood up and lifted up my jeans before wrapping it around my ankle. I went down stairs.

"Maggie" Henri coughed.

"I'm going to spend the night and however we have long left at Sam's." I grabbed my beanie and left
