Alec woke drowsily from his dreams at a strange sound. He slid out of the warm bed and away from the warmer body in it. He pulled on a pair of shorts and padded silently across the apartment to the babies' crib.
Once he had reassured himself that they were still fast asleep, he headed towards the kitchen. He was running over the move in his mind, when he and O.C. had switched apartments, when he saw movement out of the corner of his eye. What the…?
In the pitch black he couldn't make out the features of the figure as he tackled it.
"Max!" He yelled. "Max get the kids and get out!" I've got to at least stall whoever this is, just long enough for Max to get away.
The figure, which turned out to be male, fought against him with obviously transgenic strength, but just as obvious lack of training. Who is this?
Max ran into the room and hit the lights.
Alec found himself looking at his near reflection. Oh my god!
"Ben?" Max whispered.
Alec released his twin and backed up to just in front of Max. "I thought Ben was dead." She told me she killed him. How can he be here in our apartment over a year later?
Ben slowly got to his feet.
Max stood shocked as she stared at Ben. "H…how? When we were in the woods I…"
Ben took a step towards her, his eyes sympathetic. But Alec stepped in front of Max protectively. This man may be my twin and Max's brother, but he killed innocent ordinaries just to sacrifice them to their 'Blue Lady.' I don't want him anywhere near my mate or my children.
"Max?" Ben asked, confused.
Max put a hand on Alec's bicep. "It's fine Alec, I'm safe. He's never tried to hurt me."
Alec nodded reluctantly and headed back to the babies' room when he heard them start to fuss. They must've been woken up by my shouts and the fighting.
Thanks for reading. I already told Tanja, but I'll tell all of you;
I won't be updating at least until Monday, I've got an Academic Decathlon competion in L.A. this weekend.
