Part 9.
"Maria, we can help" Liz said to Maria.
"Liz, you don't know what Skinn is capable of. But I do, I did it with him" Maria said and looked down at the ground. She couldn't even look at them when she talked about what she had done.
"What did you do?" Alex asked.
"I don't want you to know. Just let me take care of him!" Maria yelled at the group.
"Where are you going to live?" Alex asked.
"I'll find something later, OK?" Maria said impatiently as she started to leave.
"Maria, wait!" Michael said and took a hold of Maria´s arm.
"Michael, remember when you told me that you were too dangerous, that you couldn't be with me?" Maria asked.
"Yeah," Michael said.
"Well now I am saying the same to you," Maria said and drew her arm away from Michael's tight hold.
"Maria I have powers and so do Max, Tess and Isabel, we can all take care of ourselves," Michael explained to her.
She hung her head. In barely above a whisper she said,
"Well, you have your secrets and I have mine."
"Maria, we want to help you," Max said walking over to Maria.
"Thanks, Max, but I don't want, need or deserve your help," Maria replied.
"Maria, we're your friends," Isabel said.
"Yeah and that is exactly why I am doing this," Maria said as she walked away.
All the others could do was stand there and watch as their friend disappeared into the dark.

When they couldn't see Maria anymore, went Max up to Liz and took her into his arms.
"Max, we have to do something!" Liz said as she hugged Max. She just couldn't let her best friend get hurt!
"Liz, what can we do?" Max asked her.
"I don't know, but I just feel so…helpless," Liz said as tears ran down her face.
"I just wish she would talk to us," Alex said and hugged Isabel. They all just stood there not knowing what would happen.
TBC.
