Disclaimer: I don't own anything!
Chapter 1! (There may be more I don't know )
Helen was almost run over by her daughter as she turned the corner. She dropped the papers she was holding and grabbed Alexis' arm. Alexis fell to the floor with a thud by the sudden stopping.
"Slow down!" Helen yelled. Alexis mumbled sorry and bent down to pick up the papers. As she picked them up she half snooped anything important. But there was nothing useful, just bits of information about new abnormal arrivals.
"Why were you running?" Helen asked. Alexis handed her mom the papers and they were accepter with a thank you and a small smile.
"I-I was just…uhh…getting some exercise. Yeah! I was just burning off those pesky calories. I had a HUGE breakfast and I'll gain some weight if I'm not careful!" Alexis said a silent prayer that her mom would buy her story. Helen didn't buy it at all but she went along with it.
"Yes cause your sooo fat!" Helen rolled her eyes and pinched Alexis' arm. Alexis giggled and pinched her back.
"I'll talk to you later mommy I see you have a lot of work to do!" Alexis hugged her mom goodbye and continued her running to the library.
Alexis skimmed over the many old books in the library. She came to one of the many bookcases and felt behind it. Carefully Alexis pulled out her mom's very old diary. The small teen opened the even smaller book a random page. Helen's first encounter with Nikola Tesla:
September
I was walking to the first lecture of my day when a man ran into me knocking all of my papers to the dirty ground. The moment I looked into his eyes I was mesmerized. He had the most daring eyes. He was also very polite and picked up my belongings for me. He then asked me to dinner in his room. I accepted politely but inside I'm dying with excitement. Oh I forgot to mention his very attractive name. Nikola Tesla. Oh yes the talk of the college asked me out! I will have to keep all this secret from John…I don't even want to know what he would do if he found out.
Later entry that has no date
Every night is amazing! Nikola and I can't seem to keep our hands off each other. I think I'm falling in love! I'm still afraid John will find-
Alexis heard heels clicking down the hall and snapped the book shut. She was about to put it away when she heard her mother's voice.
"Alexis what are you doing?" Helen stepped into the room as her daughter shoved the diary behind her back.
"What do you have there?" Helen asked taking one step toward her. She knew exactly what Alexis had and her daughter knew it. Alexis took one step back and half to the side so she was aligned with the door in the perfect position to run out the door and that's exactly what she planned to do. Only to her surprise a man stepped in front of her at the door and sent her flying. She landed hard on her butt and the book somehow ended up jabbing her in the stomach letting off a huge dust cloud. Alexis was coughing from all the dust as she was trying to catch her breathes from the fall. She didn't have any strength to fight the man for the diary. The man gave the diary to her mother and Alexis feeling defeated and now really tired, flew out the room.
"Thank you Nikola." Helen thanked the man.
"My pleasure." Nikola smiled.
"I don't know what's gotten into her lately. She's been snooping around a lot lately and just last week I had to ground her for hacking into my computer." Helen said with a worried look on her face.
"I'm sure if you talk to her she'll open up to you. Maybe the only reason she's snooping around is because she doesn't know how to ask you what she wants to know." Nikola pulled Helen into a hug. She had little strength to fight him so she just hugged back and relaxed.
"Excuse me Nikola I need to talk to her." Helen said when they broke away from the hug.
"Of course." He said and he sat in a chair to wait for her return.
Helen found Alexis on the roof. She sat on the edge with her feet dangling off the roof. She heard Alexis sniffle and watched her wipe her eye. Helen sat next to her and put her arm around her shoulder. She wiped a tear from Alexis' cheek as she rested her mom's shoulder.
"You want to know who your father is don't you?" Helen asked. She felt Alexis nod her head.
Helen sighed "It's Nikola."
Alexis lifted her head to look into her mother's eyes.
"Really?" She asked. Helen nodded yes. They sat there for a while until Alexis asked why she didn't tell her sooner.
"Because I wanted to tell you when you were ready." Helen said.
"Do you still love him?" Alexis asked.
Helen hugged her daughter tighter "Yes I do. But I love you more."
