Chapter 13: Competitors

"I'm so sorry, I disappointed you. I could not take the card," Zoe said. He felt so bad to see her powerless and hurt. He had this terrifying scene where Zoe threw her own blood before his eyes.
He felt like he was losing her. He did not want to feel that again.
He then watched Zoe being attacked by her own movement card, causing her injuries. He remembered that Max motion card had finished almost everything. He still could not forgive him completly.

She saw herself in her sister's arms, she was dying. "No ... No, please, no ..." Her sister cried. It hurt her so much to hear her cry.

She was always the strongest person she knew, but now ...

"Zoe, I'm sorry ... Please forgive me!"
She heard the roar of the dinosaur, it sounded like call for help.

"No!" She woke up.

This nightmare ... She still heard that scream in her head. She had to make sure everything was alright.

She saw Godzilla lying in bed beside her, she did not want to wake him, but she had to look for Reese.

She ran quickly into Reese's room.

When the doors closed, she woke up.

"Zoe ... what's wrong ...? Does something hurt again ...? Is the blood okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, I ... I forgive you," Zoe said, hugging Reese.

"You dreamed what Mary said ..." Zoe nodded.

"I can not imagine you like that, I've never seen you cry and I do not want to, I do not want to die and make you sad."

She hugged her sister.

"You will not see me crying, I promise." Reese's eyes widened with fear as she saw another stream of blood fall from Zoe's mouth.

"No, not again ..."

She grabbed Zoe's hand and walked away.
It was like a nightmare for her.

She felt as if her little sister was getting weaker.

"Reese ..." She looked at her sister, more blood gushing out of her mouth.

Zoe let her go and fell to the ground. "Zoe!"

Godzilla had woken up. He carried Zoe back to his arms on his arms.

He took a bucket if Zoe had to throw up again.

Horror in front of Reese's eyes got worse.

She looked at her hand and realized what she had done.
"That's all because of me ... Drack, you ... you'll pay for it, what now, if I touch her, it's even worse."
"Reese, what did he do?" Godzilla asked her.
She showed her hand. "He cursed me."

"That bastard." Godzilla growled again. "Do not worry, I will protect her. And Drack will pay for his mistakes. "

Reese recoiled as she saw Godzilla's back flicker briefly

D lab

"Little genius ... If I was clever enough, I would have noticed, but not me, I'm so stupid, I've failed ... How can I call, I myself, her guardian, if I can not protect her, there's no time to be sad or to blame herself, she needs my help and I just have to stay away from her. "

"What are you doing here so late?" asked a robot voice.

"What do you want, J?"

"I wanted to show you a record of your injured sister, but you're already broken."

"Fuck you, J. I have no mood or time for you."

"Now you have realized that you can help her, you are so useless to her."

"Fuck, J, I do not want to hear you ..."

"Calm down, children can read this."

"Leave me alone!"

"Why do not you just delete me?" J was surprised.

"Not now ... I'm more interested in my sister than you," Reese replied.

3 days later, evening

She felt so tired, but she could not sleep, she had to find out what ... What to ...
Everything went black.

She fell to the ground.

She heard her own voice: "You pay only for my sins, can you forgive me?"
"No, not again. I'm sorry, I let you die, sister!"

She quickly opened her eyes, everything was so blurry.

Her glasses were gone. She stood up and recognized a hand with her glasses in front of her. She took them and saw 14-year-old blond boy with scars on his face.

"Are you alright, Reese?" he asked.

"Rex ... what are you doing here?" She was surprised.
"Is that really more important than the bags under your eyes?"
"Do not worry, I'm fine, I ... my head hurts ..."
"You have to go to sleep."
"I can not, Zoe needs me," Reese explained, "why are you here?" "I heard what happened to Zoe," Rex replied, "I have their communicator and Paris." "Why?" "I could not let her hurt her, she's my girlfriend and Zoe would kill me, will you tell Zoe that I brought Paris here?" "I am sure she will be happy."
Rex sighed.
"Reese, I'm sorry about what I did to you and Max and Justin and that ... I met Zoe."
"I know you feel bad, but I'm not blaming you, I figured out why you're doing that and what's changing your behavior."
Rex touched the back of his head.

"Dark helped me, she mentioned these two prototypes of Akuno chips, if I could do that, you would ..."
"I can not!" he yelled, "I can not go back to your side, there's no way you can help me or them, I have to do it on my own, sorry."

He gave her a green communicator and a grass dinosaur card.
"Only Akuno can help me with that." "Do not you know they just use you?" Reese said, "Once you become useless, Zepar will get rid of you, she wants us dead, you, me, Zoe, Max, anyone who was there two years ago, if she ever goes back to the future, your only one Reason would be Alpha Gang. "
"She already has someone for the Alpha gang in Akuno," Rex whispered, "she's Zepar's secret weapon next to Cruz."

"Justin and Alice have already tasted their strength."

The doors opened. Of all the people, the two he wanted to see entered the room. And the person he least wanted to see.

"Rex!"

He was unable to look at her or talk to her.

Zoe ran to him, wanted to hug him.

"Stay away!" he shouted at her.

Godzilla stopped Zoe.

"I do not want to hurt you again ... I have to go."

Rex has completely disappeared from the room.

"What did he want here?" Max asked. Reese looked at the communicator.

She opened it and gave Zoe the stone that was inside and Paris' card.
"It's from Rex," she said.

"He ..."

Zoe called her friend, she was so happy. She got Paris out of the ground. Then she tried to hug her sister. Reese took a step back.

"Reese ...?"
"The communicator has caused all this," she said, "I'd rather ... Rather ..." Reese's eyes closed slowly.

"Reese, you have to take a nap," Max said.

"I ..." She sat down, her eyes closed.

"I have to stay ..." she murmured, "stay away from Zo ... away from Zoe ... I have to move ... find my own flat ..."

She fell asleep. "What happened to her like that?" Asked Max.

"I do not know ... What does she mean if she keeps away from me ...?" Zoe was surprised. "I'm calling Kyra to keep an eye on her and we should go ... we should talk about something."

Max quickly went out and grabbed the phone.

Zoe turned to Godzilla.

"I'm sorry, I was only happy to see him briefly."

Godzilla nodded.

"It's okay, I know he's a good friend."
Zoe hugged Godzilla

"Thanks."

Zoe looked around, Max has just walked out.
She began to smooch a little with Godzilla.

Then she heard Max come in again, they stopped quickly.

"Do you want to eat ice cream?" Max asked.

Both nodded.

As they walked out, Zoe winked at Godzilla.

Sanjo city in the city center

They sat at the table with three chairs, eating ice cream Max had bought.

They both looked at the vacant chair Rex was sitting on.

Chomp jumped on it, Paris pushed him away. Chomp climbed back.

The scene made Max and Zoe's sad faces disappear.

Then Godzilla sat on Rex place.

"What did you want to talk about, Max?" Zoe asked.

"Er ... I ... it was ... are you feeling really good?"

"What do you mean?"

"Your injuries ..." Max replied, "I do not want to see that again ... I still have nightmares about you throwing up blood ... It's ... maybe that's the reason why Reese broke from wants to keep you away ... "

" Max ... Well, Reese used to be scared of blood when we were younger ... "Zoe stared at the floor.

"I'm sorry, you had to see me like this, Max, and because you did not bring the card or ..." she thought, "You do not have to apologize."

She looked at Godzilla, he smiled at her. This smile always gave her hope.

"You live, that's the most important thing for me." As soon as Max said it, he fell silent to Zoe.

He noticed.

"I mean, Rex is in Akuno, and if you would ever apologize, I need you - in any case!" His face was so red.

Zoe translated his words for himself.
She started laughing.

"You laugh ... I've never seen her so happy since Rex left, Sue said that, Zoe's honest smile."

Godzilla growled.

"Do not be angry, I do not want to hurt him."

Godzilla nodded and sliced down a whole scoop of ice.

"Max, you have your perfect life," Zoe said, "Rex is the one who needs us."

"Do you really think they are ...?" Max could not finish the sentence.
Zoe nodded.

"He always says he needs to fix something and we can not help him," she said.

"Yes, everyone says that Akuno is the only way to fix it," Max added, "and Cole told me that Rex looked like he was going to kill him when Cole mentioned a family."

"Rex even said Ace is the only one he has and Drack ..." Zoe was quiet.

"Drack what?" Max was surprised.

She still did not answer.

She has never told anyone about her connection with him.

"He wanted me to say hello to them in a heaven ..."

Max and Godzilla had nothing to say.

Max felt bad for beating his best friend for hurting Zoe.

Max knew what the darkness could do to other people, Sabi tried to kill Andy.

His best friend lost something he wanted for so long and he hit him when he had to go through so many things.
"It makes perfect sense, Max. Akuno brought him here and Dark told us they have things from another time so they can travel in time, he can save them and change everything so we can not help him . "
"But maybe our stones will, too," Max said.

"We can not do anything without a time machine!" Zoe reminded him.

"Yes, we can, we will rescue Rex and help him, just hope, it makes them weaker, we can not give up!"

"Max ... It's too late."

"No it is not."

"It is not, the darkness is nothing but a bandaged, confused idiot." Godzilla was a little upset. Zoe said nothing for a long time.

"I mean time, it's nine." Zoe got up and wanted to go home with Paris, but as she took a step she felt that pain in her stomach again. She touched wounds on her stomach.
"Zoe, Zoe, what's up?" Godzilla saw her painful expression that disturbed him.

"I'm fine ..." Max and Godzilla ran to her. "Zoe, how can I help you?"

Godzilla took care of Zoe on his back. Max, Chomp and Paris followed.
"Godzilla, Max ..." he heard from behind his back, "I did not want you to see me like that, I always wanted to be strong, I wanted you and Rex to respect me."
"We are both afraid of you when you are bossy, I know you are strong and tough, you protect and care for others, your pain is in last place so I love- "He kept his mouth shut Before he can say anything, he will regret it.

He blushed.

"Godzilla"

"Yes honey?" Godzilla looked at Zoe.

"We'll have to tel it him sometimes."

Said Zoe, she felt a little bad that Max seemed to love her.

Taylor's house, night

Zoe was tired so Max decided to bring her home because it was closer.

Godzilla stood at the door.
She sat on his bed.

"Max, what are you doing?" Zoe asked. "I do not even know ..." he answered honestly, "maybe I finally realized that you are worthy of being treated like a princess, Zoe."

He smiled at her.

"Max ..."

She shrugged and yawned.

Godzilla just shook his head.

"Go to sleep," Max said.

"You can take my pajamas."

"Okay, can you go out?" Zoe asked.

"Why?"

"Do you really think I'm undressing in front of you?" she snapped.

His cheeks flushed and left his room.

"You too, Chomp and Godzilla." Godzilla and Chomp also left the room.
He closed the door and leaned on it.

He was so red.

"She's ... She's in his room ... She's naked in his room ... No, she has his clothes Oh ... I hope no one's going to go there No one needs to know about it" He sighed ,

Max went to Rex's old room.

When he entered the room there was someone he had not expected.

His best friend looked out the window.

It was already dark outside. "Rex, what are you doing here?" Max asked. Rex turned to him with a grin.

"Come on, hit me," he said.

"What?"

"I deserve it after beating Zoe and hurting my friends."
"I will not beat you," Max replied.

"I know what happened and I'm sorry."

"It's okay ..."

"Rex, your parents-"

"I said it's okay!"

"I'm sure they would not want you to help someone who hurt dinosaurs and their friends."
"As soon as you become useless, Zepar will get rid of you," he remembered Reese's words.
"Max. You've done something to Zoe's communicator," Rex warned Max.

"I know a strange guy who brought Zoe back to D-Lab told us," Max said.

"No, I do not mean the spell You have done something with this program. "

"J?" Rex nodded.

"It can be dangerous for you."
"How can he be dangerous?" Max was surprised.

"I heard what Reese said a few days ago, it teased her technically and made her suffer."
"He turned against his own Creator?" he thought.
"Max, you're the next one," Rex said.

"What do you mean?"

"They messed with Reese's program to hurt her and nearly kill Zoe and Zepar wants to take revenge on us."

"And you still want to help them?" Asked Max, "Believe me, once I find out what Drack Zoe did, I wanted to come back, but that means I can not save her."

"Rex ..."
"Max, please take care of Zoe and Alice on me." Max just nodded.

Rex disappeared.

Godzilla returned to Max Room, Zoe and Paris were already sleeping in his bed.

She looked so beautiful.

He does not know why he did that, he came closer.

He almost kissed her on the cheek, but she mumbled something that stopped him: "Rex ... No, do not hurt him ... Drack, stop ... I do not want to die ..."

She was shaking with fear.

Godzilla did not know what to do.

Zoe obviously had a nightmare and he had to calm her down.

He hugged her, but she was still scared.
Paris, who was not really asleep, approached her, Godzilla did the same.

Paris began to sing.

Godzilla also sang a song he knew from two little girls.

Zoe stopped shivering after a while.

Godzilla smiled.

She was in the messy house. She left her there for an hour! "You'll pay for it! That's disgusting," she said, grunting, "Max! Rex!" She ran to her rooms and brought the brunette and the blond men into the living room. All three were adults.
"What do you want, Zoe?" Max asked. "Do not be stupid!" she screamed, "look what you've done two! I can not leave you two for an hour alone at home!" "But, dear ..." came from Max's mouth. "Not, darling, Taylor!" "Zoe, you know me well and you know I will not do that," Rex said. "I worked in my room." "But you should keep an eye on Max when I left!" Zoe reminded him, "And he did that, this is an even bigger mess than our kids ever did! You have half an hour to clean it." Zoe left the room.
The boys sighed. "She's right, Max. Not even the twins or Erika would make that mess." "Well, G Jr. is capable of that," laughed Max. "Yes," Rex agreed, "but Maya would kill him the way Zoe would kill us if we did not clean up your mess." "Why are you always on her side?" Max was surprised. They did not know that Zoe and Godzilla were standing behind the door listening to their conversation.

Everything became light before her eyes. She lied. She heard soft voices. "Two people after a car accident!"
A car crash? What happened to her?
Someone held her hand.

She could not see her.

She thought she heard a female scream for a second, but it turned into a laugh. The only woman she knows laughs away the pain.
"You promised me, I will not see you crying anymore ..." Zoe said.
The voices became silence. She looked down. She was back in her 14-year-old body.
Did she die? "Yes," someone behind her said. She turned and saw Max with half white and half black wings. "Max ... are you my guardian angel?" She asked. He shook his head.
Behind Max, Rex appeared with gray wings, Reese, she had black wings, Sue with the same wings as Max and Dark with only white wings.
"I'm dead ..." came from Zoe's mouth, "but what about you?"

"We're fine, girl," laughed Sue, "that's just in your head."

"What...?"

"You have your guardian angel closer than you think."
Then Zoe noticed that she also has wings, the white wings.

"Who is it?" She did not get her answer.

She was about to ascend, but a dark hand held her tight.

"So you are my guardian angel."

She woke up to find she was in Max's room, lying in Max's bed and wearing Max's pajamas. She blushed.

It was still dark outside.

Godzilla stood on a balcony watching the sky.

She got up and went out to a balcony.
"You're awake." Godzilla turned to face her, she did not look so happy.

"A nightmare?" he asked himself. Zoe nodded.

"I'm fine ... It was just ... a stupid dream ..."
"We both talk when we sleep," said Godzilla.

"Did you know that?" Zoe was not sure what he meant by that.

"What dream was this for Drack?" He asked, "I heard you."
Zoe did not answer for a long time.

"Godzilla, there is something I have not told anyone about ... Drack is ... he's my grandpa."

Godzilla has processed the information for a few minutes.

"What?!" he screamed, "how is that possible?"

"Mary can change her look," Zoe said. "I'm sure both of you can change your age."

"But how does he come? How do you know that?"
"He said that he is emotionless, so it will not be a problem for him to kill his granddaughter ..."
"I still do not get it, he was trying to kill you! "

"Can not you stop screaming?" Zoe asked. "Sorry ... but it makes no sense ..."
"Yes, it does, when I met him for the first time, he knew my name-"

"But ... well, only you know about it?" Godzilla wondered.

Zoe shook his head.

"He said that Reese knows about that too," she replied,

"I do not understand why she did not tell me ..."

"Maybe she wanted to protect you from him."

A beep interrupted their conversation, another dinosaur. "What now?" Zoe asked.

"Yes," Godzilla replied, looking at his communicator, "let's go to the D-Lab."

"Uh ... Godzilla?"

"Yes?"

"Will you let me change my clothes?"

Max came in, screaming and blushing.

"Ehm a Dino ..."

"Yes we know, I'll change my clothes quickly."

Godzilla go out with Max.

D lab

They entered the main room.

A map was on a big screen.

"Malta, an island nation," said Dark.

She and Ace, with a patch on their heads, were in the room with them.

They've already taken the Akuno chip out of his head.

"Dark?"

"Where is Reese?" Zoe was surprised.

"She had to sleep, Kyra is with her, but she has everything ready for you," Dark replied.

"Ok, let's go!"
Zoe wanted to take her communicator.

"No, do not touch it!"

But Dark stopped her.

"It caused the bad things that happened to you ... Take ... take my ..." Dark gave her the dark blue communicator.

"Many Thanks."

"I ... I do not want you to ... hurt like that again ... I'm ... sure it works the same with your stone ..." Zoe put the stone in Darks communicator.

"Go now and ... Help the dinosaurs ..."
"Do not worry."

Godzilla, Max, Chomp, Zoe and Paris went on the platform.

Before they teleported, Ace also ran to the platform.

He disappeared with them.

Malta

They were near the sea. A battlefield was nearby. Dinosaurs played at their feet. Max, Godzilla and Zoe noticed the little intruder.

"Ace, how did he?" "He came when we teleported," Zoe explained. "I think he wanted to help," Max said. They heard a dinosaur roar. "It's near the water."

They were close to the fight and saw the white-blue Jobaria fighting against the green Megaraptor.

Godzilla was much faster she Zoe. He was ready to join the battle.

Someone grabbed Zoe by the hair and pulled her to them.

She wanted to scream, they covered her mouth. Max and Godzilla did not notice.

Zoe tried to break free, nothing. Then she finally looked at him.

Drack let go of her hair and took her neck. "Unbelievable, I did not expect you to survive that," he said. Max and Godzilla turned to them.

"Zoe! Chomp, we have to help her."

He turned Chomp into a card and summoned him in his form of combat.

But Godzilla stood in their way, shaking his head.

The look from him intimidated Max.

Drack was not afraid of Godzilla.

He grabbed Zoe's neck even harder, she could not breathe.

"Take me breathless," he laughed.

Paris growled.

She made the loud noise.

Drack let Zoe go.

He covered his ears.

But he has not given up.

He tried that again.

This time he was stopped by a jet of water that hit him.

He and his Megaraptor disappeared.

Jobaria has run away.

"Zoe, how are you?" Godzilla came to her.

"I'm fine, I just need a breath ... Thanks, Max, Godzilla and Paris ..."

"I did not do anything."
Something made a sound. They looked at the water.

The blue-violet long-necked dinosaur was swimming in the sea. "Futaba" They went to the dinosaur.

Zoe stroked him.

"Is that really you?" Zoe asked.

"Since he recognizes you and saves you, I think so," said Max, "but we have no time, Jobaria is gone, we have to ..." The Futabasaurus pushed Max into the water. Zoe laughed. "You sound like Rex."

"Zoe, why did he do that?" Max wondered and got out of the water.

He turned Chomp over to his small form.

"Maybe he does not like you or he's jealous." Zoe smiled.

"Jealous?"

But when the Futaba saw Godzilla, he recoiled a little.

"She's my girlfriend." He growled, the Futaba understood the message.

"Do not be so honey, we're just friends." Zoe laughed.

"Okay, but we'll fix that with Max today OK?" Zoe nodded.

Futaba made a sound.

"What does he want?" Max asked.

"Maybe he knows where Jobaria went," Zoe said.

Futaba nodded, then looked down at his back.

"Do you want us to ride you?" She was surprised.

Futaba nodded again.
"Zoe, remember, we have Ace with us," Max reminded her, "he will not go into the water, he's still scared."

"Do not worry, Max. You and Chomp stay here with Ace. We'll find Jobaria."

"Zoe ... are you sure? Drack-"

"Believe me, Max."

"I'll go with you, I'm a good swimmer." Godzilla had to go.

He still could not forget her injuries, but he knew how strong she was.

"If something happens, call me, okay?" Zoe smiled.

They did not even know anyone was watching them.

He was not far from them, but not so close to seeing him.

Zoe and Paris sat on Futaba's back, Godzilla swimming next to them.

They went to a cave with a small lake.

They saw Jobaria sleep.

"There he is."

They came to the ground.

"Thanks, Futaba, go back to Max and let him know we're fine." Futaba swam away.

Godzilla made himself smaller before he went out of the water.

"I think we should wait until he wakes up," Zoe said. Paris and Godzilla agreed.

Suddenly somebody covered her mouth again.

"You will not escape me this time," the voice she heard making her weak again.

Drack held her hands.

"You know, little girl, I thought, breathless is stronger than you." She was surprisingly calm.

Godzilla grew bigger.

She stepped with all his might on his foot.

He let her go.

"You're a little slut like my sister," he growled.

"I'm not like you and your sister," Zoe shouted, "I would never hurt my family."

"Do not you ever hurt your family? Well, I guess you're not like your sister," Drack said. "What do you mean?" Zoe was surprised.

"There are so many things she did not tell you, she's a big liar."
"Do not you dare to say something bad about my sister or otherwise ..."

"Or what else?" Drack asked. "Or else this!" Zoe summons Paris in her combat form.
"She's not a liar," she screamed.

Drack grinned and called out his Megaraptor.

Max saw the battlefield. "She did it."
Ace went away. Chomp noticed it and bit Max to let him know. "Ouch, Chomp! Ace, where are you going?"
They followed him.

"You may look tough, but your dinosaur is weak," Drack laughed.

Paris lay on the ground, almost unable to fight.

She needed help. Zoe realized that Jobaria is still sleeping in the cave.

Godzilla stood in front of Zoe and roared, woke Jobaria.

He got up, rammed Megaraptor and threw him into the water.

Zoe went to Paris.

"Are you all right?" She asked: "I'm sorry, Paris, if we had not lost in the Netherlands, we would still have tickets for the move ... Now we can do nothing." Zoe also began to glow with green light and Paris. "Zoe, this is not the end, Chomp, Ace and Max believe in us, Drack will not knock us down when we get together."

"Paris ... you are right, we are unstoppable girls of the D-Team."

"Danger!"

Zoe looked behind her, Megaraptor jumped in the air and threw her direction.

A heat ray hit him.

"Godzilla!" He was swimming in the water.

The glow disappeared.

They heard a scream, then Max fell through a hole in the ceiling into the cave.

Chomp and Ace fell on him.

"Oh, my goodness, that's what I call the entrance," Zoe said.
"Let's end this Hurricane Beat."

Godzilla stood in front of Zoe and Paris.

Twin tornadoes converged on Godzilla and blew him up.

Megaraptor jumped up and kicked Godzilla in the face, then hit him with his tail.

It did not matter, Godzilla suddenly released a kind of shock wave.

It hurled everyone back.

Jobaria and Futaba became cards.

Chomp and Ace grabbed them with there mouths.

Drack went to them. "Do you think I'm afraid of you?" he asked.

Paris got up and ran to protect her friends.

It did not stop him.

Someone got in his way.

Blond hair,blue eyes, scars on the face.

"You traitor," Drack growled. "Rex ..." He took the cards from them. "I will make you suffer! Mahin, destroy!"

Rex stayed calm.

"Max, Zoe! Catch!"

He threw several train tickets to them.

Max changed Chomp into the adult form.

"You have no chance against me!" Drack laughed.

Godzilla's back light up again, he charged the attack.

Godzilla hit the Megaraptor with full force.

The Megaraptor, much to the ground, with burnt wounds, turned into a map.

Drack took the card and disappeared.

They have turned their dinosaurs into babies.

"Rex, thanks for the cards!" Zoe ran to him.

He even gave her Jobaria's card and Futaba Super Cannon Movement card.

"I knew you were coming back!"

"I'm sorry, but I can not stay," said Rex.

"What why?" Max was surprised.

"Rex, we can help you," Zoe joined.

"I just need some time to think ... I'm sorry ..."

Godzilla roared.

He made himself smaller.

He walked over to Max.

"Max, we have to talk." Zoe said.

Japan, D-lab

"You healed him and he saved you?" Dark asked, holding Futabasaurus's card in his hand. "Yes," Zoe replied, "Alpha Gang found his card and used it against Max and Rex, but he got hurt, Paris and I helped him and we had fun together."

"They are all so nice ..." Dark smiled.
The door opened and Reese entered the room.

"You are already back?"

"Reese!"

"How do you feel?" Max was surprised. She did not answer. "Reese?"

"Zoe," she finally said, "can we talk alone for a minute?"

"Sure ..." They went to a next room.
"What is it, Reese?" "I want you to be the first to know, I'd like to move away," Reese said. "Wa ... what do you mean ...?" came from Zoe's mouth.

"I would like to live alone, living with a family is not for me."

"But ... you can not ..."

Zoe could not say otherwise.

She could not just leave her like that.
"I'm almost 23, and I'm in the lab all the time, it will not make any difference to you. "

"But ..."

"Do not cry, sister."

"Why?" Zoe was surprised.

"I just need ... time for myself," Reese replied.

"That's the only thing I can do for you, Zoe ... I have to wait until you're okay."
