Part 25
"WHAT!" They all cried out.
"I died in the escape, and I will die again," Maria said as tears ran down her face at full speed.
"No Maria, we wont let that happen" Max said as he walked up to her.
"Max, my father said that I couldn't change destiny, and neither could you. I have to go" Maria said, and walked out of the house leaving all her friends in a daze.

"No wonder she was at the breaking point," Kyle said as soon as Maria was out of the house.
"So what do we do?" Isabel asked.
"Well I think Maria needs time by herself" Max answered.
"But we can't just let her go, what if she splits town or something?" Tess said, not trying to be bitchy, just stating facts.
"Well if you had listened to the story, you would have know that Maria would do anything to protect us, even sacrifice herself, so she won't leave before we are safe" Michael said, and then walked out of the house.

"Maria?" a voice called out as Maria entered her house.
"Oh god, MOM!" Maria yelled, and ran up to her mother and hugged her like there was no end.
"Hey sweety, what's wrong?" Amy asked her daughter.
"Nothing, I am just glad to see you" Maria answered. She was so happy to see her mother not in any kind of danger.
"Maria, I know you, what's going on?" Amy asked again.
"Like a said, nothing. I am going to bed" Maria said, and walked towards her room with tears in her eyes.
"Ok, sweet dreams" Amy called out.
"I hope so," Maria said under her breath.
Maria walked into her room, closed the door and then fell down on the floor and cried her heart out. She cried for her mother, for her friends, and for herself. She was breaking down; her heart couldn't hold it any longer. She was going to die. Maria Deluca was going to die.
After a while the window opened, and Maria flew up from the floor, and got her baseball-bat. She then walked, shaking, towards the window. A dark figure was climbing in, and he then fell with a dunst to the floor. Maria turned on the light saw the intruder, and then yelled:
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE MICHAEL?!"
TBC.
