Ch.9 Her Secret is out!

Alex had finally reached his room, nervous about what kind of shape he's in she braced herself for the worst. She opened the door slowly and quietly, for fear of him being asleep. She peered into the room and saw Zak sitting up and right awake. Filled with joy she slung the door open and called out to him.

"ZAK, YOU'RE OK." She shouted with excitement in her voice.

"ALEX!" Zak responded

She ran towards Zak, and then tackled him onto the bed. They both fell with a thud, but Alex pulled Zak onto his feet and into her arms. She held him tight, as Zak did the same to her. She kept her face in Zak's shoulder crying with tears of joy. They stared into each other's faces and began to talk. Alex was the first to speak.

"Zak, I still can't believe it. You're alright." Alex said

"Yeah I'm fine, but look at you. You look like you just got out of car accident." Zak responded

Alex just gave a soft laugh at his joke, even though it sounded pretty bad. This was the most perfect moment that Zak and Alex could ever have. Alex placed her head on Zak's chest and continued to hold him tight. Zak rapped one arm around Alex's waist and the other around her shoulder, and laid his head on top of hers. They wouldn't say one word, as they wanted to savoir this moment. Suddenly Alex had a terrible feeling that something very bad was going to happen. She ignored the feeling and stayed silent.

The two felt like they were on top of the world. Right when things seemed so perfect the moment between them was completely gone when Doc, Drew, Fisk, every one burst through the door and locked eyes on Alex. Drew pried the two of them apart keeping them on opposite sides of the room. Alex was about to try and get Zak back, only to be pushed towards the wall by Fisk. Fisk pushed her again, this time out a slide door and on to the balcony of Zak's room. Zak had become in raged at what his family was doing to Alex. He yelled at his parents.

"What the heck are you doing? Why are you hurting Alex?" Zak asked angrily

"Zak stay away from her, she's not what you think she is." Drew responded

"What do you mean by that?"

"What Drew is trying to say is she is the creature that you, your family and all of the other secret scientist are looking for." Epsollion said walking in on the violence.

Zak looked at Epsollion, and then turned to Alex. He walked toward her acting like he was too afraid to say anything at all. He looked at her dead in the eye and spoke.

"It's not true; tell me it's not true." Zak said

Alex stared back at him; water began to fill her eyes until a river of tears followed down her face. Suddenly bombs attacked the house. They were smoke bombs; Zak kept Alex covered and away from the blasts. When everyone looked up they saw a jet with three people jumping out, but one came out on a jet pack.

Zak and Alex were surrounded by the smoke and began to wonder away from each other. Zak had noticed that Alex was gone and kept looking around for her. Alex was alone and completely terrified. Then they all heard a voice come out from the smoke.

"Now my dear, you should know better than to keep secrets from the one's you truly care for." The voice said.

"Alex, where are you? Talk to me." Zak shouted

Zak found his way to his parents and the others, but when he reached them they heard Alex scream at the top of her lungs, and manacle laugh came after it. The smoke began to clear and they saw shadowy like figure in front of them. When the smoke lifted and was gone, the figure was none other than V.V. Argost, and what was worse, he had Alex!
