Hidden Truth..

Third Person P. O. V :

Allen was walking home quickly, trying not to run into anyone so they can't see his face, which was filled with hot tears still streaming.
Allen : Why me ?

He spoke, his choked voice above a whisper.
He continued to walk, but slowed down eventually.

A few minutes later, he noticed that he had already arrived at the Palace's gates.
But when he clutched his backpack's pocket, he realized that he lost his keys.

Allen rang the bell desperately, trying to wipe away his tears but failing.
After a few seconds, Gi opened the door, a bit astonished to see Allen like that, but she let him in anyway.

He ran through the corridors, trying to get to his room without anyone seeing him, but a female voice stopped him. His sister's.
Alexandra : Allen !

He turned around, and she saw his teary eyes, and his red cheeks. He expected her to embrace him like she always did. And she outstretched her arms to do so, but he didn't move an inch.

Alexandra furrowed her eyebrows, and stared at him in confusion.
Alexandra : Allen, What's wrong ?
Allen : Nothing ! I can't believe I'm going through all this, and You're right there going to parties and whatsoever. I hate you, just stay away from me !

He yelled harshly, and stormed back to his room, leaving Alexandra in tears. Who ran back to her room sobbing, closing the door loudly as well.

In Another Place :

Clara and Dorian were still having that long talk with Sergeant David Kenwood, discussing how should they prevent The Lunatics from causing any harm to their daughter or to anyone else.

David : All we need to do is search this town for any sign of Aliens, and if we found them, we'll imprison them in Area 51, till The Lunatics back off from Alexandra and everyone else.

Clara : so we should search anyone who seems suspicious in case he was a Lunatic, and we'll capture them and threaten the Lunatics as well ?
David : exactly.
Dorian : Where do we start ?

David : well, the UFO crashed in Crescent Hill, near your palace. Maybe we should start from there.
The couple nodded eagerly.

In Another Place :

Aerglo has continuing his work on the video monitor, when Altair entered the room.
(italic = Lunatic Language)

Altair : Aerglo, you done yet ?
Aerglo : not yet.
Altair : What did you find ?
Aerglo : well, there's a sergeant from Area 51 in the Mercury Foundations right now, and I can't see Sol or Castor anywhere.

Altair : I saw it coming.
Aerglo : listen, Altair. Let's prepare the Comet 2 and go to Starling right now, maybe we're missing something.
Altair : Did Cosmo solve The Other World Portal problem yet ?

Aerglo : yeah, he's done with it now.
Altair : Let's take everything that is important there, and search Starling city till we get our sons and that Waverley girl.

Aerglo : but we have to prepare first.
Altair nodded.

In Another Place :

Clara, Dorian and David stood in front of the door silently, waiting for the door to open.
A few minutes later, the door did fling open, revealing the maid, Gi.

Clara : Hello, Gi. Can we come in ?
Gi : of course, ma'am.
She stepped aside, giving the three of them enough space to come through the huge door of their palace.

Dorian : Who's here now ?
Gi : Ms Alexandra, Mr Allen and Mr Sol.
Clara : Sol ?
Gi : yeah, he's Alexandra's friend, he doesn't have a place to stay as he's from out of town.

Dorian rolled his eyes.
Dorian : Why didn't she tell us ?
Clara : I don't know. Is she trying to hide something ?
David glanced at them eagerly.

When they sat in the living room, Gi went upstairs. And knocked on Alexandra's door.
Gi : Miss Alexandra ?
Alexandra : yes ?

There was a tone of sadness in her voice.
Gi : Mr & Mrs Waverley are here.
Alexandra opened the door the next second.
Alexandra : Why are they here ?

Gi : I..I don't know, Miss.
Alexandra eyed her suspiciously.
Alexandra : Who else is down there?
Gi : well, there's Mr David Kenwood, a sergeant from Area 51.

Alexandra's heart started to beat rapidly.
They're here for Sol. She thought.
Gi : They want to see you Miss, Mr Allen, and Mr Sol.
Alexandra stared at her, not knowing what to do.

Alexandra : Did you tell them that Sol is here ?
Gi : Yes, Miss. Is something wrong ?
Alexandra : No, just go. I'll get them and go downstairs when I'm done.

When Gi left, Alexandra hurried to knock on Allen's room door. He opened after a moment.
Alexandra : Allen, get ready. Our parents are here.
Allen : Why ?

Alexandra : just hurry up, I'll be back.
Allen nodded, feeling slightly guilty.
Alexandra ran toward Sol's room, and knocked softly.
Sol : come in.

The beautiful girl opened the door, and entered.
The first thing she saw was Sol sitting on his desk, working on a what seems to be a computer.

Alexandra : my parents are here. And they have a sergeant from Area 51 with them.
He got to his feet in a few seconds.
Sol : What? Did you tell them anything?

Alexandra : No !
Sol : What will we do then ?
Alexandra : I don't know. If they asked, say you're from Scotland.
Sol : What's that ?

Alexandra : I'll explain later. Just come with me. Act normal.
Sol nodded, and followed her out of the room.

As they were hurried between the huge corridors, Allen was in right in front of them.
And a few moments later, the three were sitting in front of Clara and Dorian, with David stuck next to them.

Clara : Hello, Alexandra. Hello, Allen. And you must be Sol.
Sol gave her a small smile, but Alexandra eyed her mother suspiciously, trying not to seem rude.

Alexandra : So, what are you guys doing here? And who's this gentleman?
David : I'm sergeant David Kenwood, and I work in Area 51.

Allen : Nice to meet you.
Dorian : well, we're here because we've been informed that there are two aliens from The Lunar Dimensionare here, In Starling.

Alexandra : Are you sure ?
Sol glanced at her, as her tone was cold and harsh.
Clara : yes, Honey. We just want to make sure everyone in this house is okay, and then we'll move around the town to check.

Dorian : We already sent people around town, because we won't make it just the three of us.
David : yeah, and we'll be glad if you let us know if you saw something suspicious.

Alexandra : of course we will.
Sol and Alexandra exchanged looks.
A few moments of silence had passed, but was interrupted by Alexandra, who spoke gently but a bit coldly.

Alexandra : so, What would you like to drink, sergeant ?
David : hot chocolate, if you may.
Alexandra : mum and dad ?
Clara : yeah, us as well.

Alexandra stood up, and walked slowly to the kitchen.
As she was making hot chocolate with the help of Gi, she heard the following.

Clara : So, Sol, Where are you from ?
Sol : Scotland, I came here as an exchange student, and Alexandra was my first friend.
Clara : That's nice.

But she heard nothing after as she held the tray of the three mugs towards the living room.

As she was setting the tray on the living room table, David's phone rang.
He answered.
David : Hello, Sean. How's everything going ?..You found what ?..What's his name?..Castor Finlay?..ok, we're coming.

Alexandra's face dropped, followed by Sol who's stomach twisted at the sound of his friend's name. As he immediately understood what was going on.

David : Waverley's ? They found one of the Lunatics, his name is Castor Finlay, and he's in The Mercury Foundations.
Alexandra : what do you mean his name is Castor Finlay ?!

Clara : um..
Allen : You're going already ?
Dorian : yeah..
Alexandra : I'm coming with you.

David : what ? You can't !
Sol : I'm coming, too.
Alexandra held Sol's hand, and they were the first to come out of the house..

To be continued..
