Oooo… long chapter gooood…

*~*~*~*~*

"Whoa…" I blurted, quite confused.
"Welcome to the club." John replied and was quiet for while. "Scully, I know its hard going back, but can you tell me everything you possibly can about Emily… what exactly happened with her?"
This would be so hard. I turned to William and hoped he would just leave. I hoped he wouldn't have to lead the life I've lead, or share in the darkness of my past. But, he had no choice in his life. How long would I keep his sister away from him? How long would these nightmares haunt me? It had to end and William… and John… had every right to know. I sighed and began the story.

Washington Cemetery
12:30p.m.

"C'mon, Rachel, we've better get going…" Risika murmured quietly to the weeping sixteen-year-old, staring at the inscribed words on her mother's grave through blood-rimed eyes.
Robyn stood nearby, staring into the overcast sky. The weather seemed to fit Rachel's mood. Virginia walked up behind her. "Virginia, you're lucky that you're getting adopted by someone you know."
"She's my aunt. Monica said it was the least she could do."
"Shouldn't you be back in New York, with that gunshot wound and all… Risika never deserved to have to deal with that creep."
"Rachel needs the moral support… he's her brother. She hasn't got a choice… I wish I could get my grip around Cody's neck…"
"Wish granted." Robyn nodded to the man walking toward the group. He was tall, around his mid-twenties and had a pair of sunglasses on, although the sun dare not show, slicked-back rusty chestnut hair and unearthly pale skin.
"Cody," Virginia spat. "You… you shot her, didn't you?"
Cody grinned evilly, "Guilty as charged, but what are you gonna do about it? Give me a little girly slap and send me to jail?"
"Sure, but skip the girly slap."
"Virginia! NO!" Risika shrieked as Virginia lunged herself at Cody. Virginia may have been strong, but Cody's body was seven years older than hers and he easily threw her back and the ground and pointed his revolver.
"Dear little Ginny, I could kill you on the spot you pathetically are beaten on. Just like I could have done to your aunt. And I'm sure if you weren't as ill equipped as you are, you could kill me just as easily. But, I have the advantage… I know secrets you would die to know. Your aunt knows too much of these… that is why I must kill her… and," He added. "You better not try and stop me."
"And why is that, Ratboy?"
"Because if you do, I'll kill you and your petty, worthless friends. I'll kill innocents, too." He threatened.
"I'm not afraid to die."
"Good," He loaded the gun, "'cause if you continue this, that's exactly what gonna happen."
"Tommy…" Risika pleaded, running in front of him. "Don't do this." Tommy was Cody's name before he was kidnapped as a child. He had made drawings that were very disturbing and often killed or tortured the people they depicted, as he had learned to control certain monsters before, but now he could create his own. Only recently had Virginia discovered that her own aunt was a victim of these drawings.
"It's Cody…" He growled. "Alyson, don't watch this."
"Tommy…" She repeated. "Please…" Rare tears filled her eyes. "Don't… just don't do it… don't do it for me… this is your sister talking, Tommy." She fell into his arms.
"Alyson, don't beat yourself up like this." He put a free hand on her shoulder. "I don't want to hurt you… I don't want to do this… but it's for the good of this country… for the good of the entire world… and I must protect you from them." He nodded to the trio.
"Cody," Risika choked out, as if his new name was poison, "Don't try to save me from my friends. Try to be Tommy again. Try to be my big brother again." He pushed his embrace away. "If you hurt any one of them… they're like my sisters… so, I'd most likely kill you." She smiled, and her canines erupted into glittering fangs. "And you know I can."
"You're a… a vampire?" He shuddered.
"Don't act so surprised… now leave us be." As soon as he fled, Risika's huge canines returned to normal size.
"Let's go home." Rachel said, finally.

New York's Plaza Hotel
Room 1013
3:30p.m.

"And well," I finished. "I've been having dreams about her… that's the only time a truly saw her at what she's supposed to be." My little audience in that hotel room was speechless and astonished by the incredibly long story about Emily.
"It all makes perfect sense now." Doggett murmured. "But that means Monica and I being Virginia's parents was a… a"
"Some would say a coincidence… but I say it's a complete well… miracle I guess…" Mulder said quietly.
Silence.
"Well," Doggett said after a while looking at his watch. "I've gotta pick my… erm… daughter up at the airport." He smiled. "But first I better stop at the hospital."
SLAM.
As soon as John was probably well down the stairs William stared at me and popped a question I feared to answer, "So… this means aliens are… well… I guess they aren't just science fiction…"
I did not deny his words.
William glanced nervously and Mulder and I and sighed. "Mom… Dad… I know this is one of the hardest questions anyone like you can answer… but, why did you put me up for adoption?"
I spoke first, "Well, William, when you were a baby I knew there was something… special… about you even before you were born… I had reason to believe that you weren't completely human. After you were born I saw that you had telekinetic powers and then… you were kidnapped, although you probably don't remember it… I was scared for you William. I didn't want you to lead a life with our family because I didn't want you to fear every strange face you look upon… I wanted your mother to look into your eyes and not shudder… I wanted your life to be filled with laughter and happiness and love… I didn't want that to end in a split-second assassination or however you could be killed… I loved you, and I thought I couldn't protect you…"
"We realize that the childhood we hoped for you didn't come true… and we also realize that we don't want to lose you again… we cleared out some adoption papers and your mom and I want us to be a family again…" Mulder smiled and William had a look far beyond happiness on his face. We really were going to be together again.
