"Excuse me?" He held out a comforting hand and for some reason I was compelled to take it.

"It's okay Anna. You can trust me. I'll never lie to you. Actually, I've been wanting to talk to you." He led me to a nearby bench and we sat down.

"Mr. Lewison."

"Please just call me Lewis." He smiled.

"Okay, Lewis.how did you know what I was feeling, not to mention where to find me."

"Because I too, am I dominant. I am guessing your parents never told you about me."

"My parents never tell me about their work, and I guess there was a reason why." I hung my head down thinking about what a freak I was. Lewis took a finger a tipped my chin up.

"Hey, there was no reason they shouldn't have told you what you really are. And you're not a freak; I think that this way you get the best of both worlds. Now you get to be a human and a dominant."

"Thanks. By the way how do my parents know you? You seem like a really nice guy."

"Oh well, your parents and I go way back. It's getting dark; you better head back now. Why don't you tell them I said 'hi' when you go back?" He stood up and gave me a hug before disappearing into the shadows.

When I finally got back to the building, I was surprised not to see the police around. But then again, what would they tell them 'my daughter ran away because she found out she is a freak offspring of a homo-dominant'. I laughed to myself as I walked up the stairs to the floor the lab was on. I was still about twenty-five feet away when I could see my mom pacing back and forth in front of a very worried Ed and Walter. But my dad was nowhere to be seen. Probably out looking for me, but then I felt him standing behind me.

"I hope I didn't worry her too much." I stopped in the middle of the hall but didn't turn around.

"Anna, don't ever do that again. You could've been killed." He walked up behind me and gave me a hug, but I still felt detached, especially from him. My arms hung at my sides as he pressed me against himself. He was almost as worried as she was, maybe even more so.

"I am going to tell them I'm back." I pushed away and walked down the hall. He still stood behind me feeling somewhere between confused and dejected. I gently knocked on the glass as walked through the door.

"Anna!" My mother ran to me, picked me up and for all she was worth. Tears flowing from her cheeks, all she felt was pure joy.

"Hey Anna." Ed said, like there was never a doubt in the world, while his mind was screaming 'relief'. Walter smiled politely and went back to his office.

"Where'd you go?" My dad asked as he entered. He was still feeling confused on why I pushed him away and probably was going to tell mom too.

"Uh, the park down the road. I'm sorry I just needed to clear my head." I answered.

"So what made you decide to come back?" Mom questioned.

"Oh nothing, just a change of heart I guess. I'm really tired, could we go home now?" I yawned. My mom and dad looked skeptical but in the end they decided it would be best.
