Chapter Four

"I know it's a lot to take in-"

"A lot?Try massive! What did you expect me to do?Be Calm about this and take another sip of bloody tea?"I shouted,my voice heavily laced with fury, a million different thoughts and feelings coursing threw me,"How dare you think you can just drop a bombshell like this as if it was small talk!"

"Violet ,I know how hard this must be on you believe me,your parents didn't want you to find out this way,"Nan said tighting her arm around me,I suppose trying to give some kind of closure and comfort.

"Find out this way?What did they think they could causally mention it over Sunday roast?'By the way Violet we save the world from aliens for a living' I think not!"I spat back bitterly.

"Your parents didn't want to tell you until they thought it was best,"said Ianto in a quite tone.

"When would it be right to tell me Ianto?My eighteenth birthday? When I leave university?My wedding day? Or how about on my deathbed? Lets face it there is no such thing as the right time!"I angery yelled at him.

I needed to clear my head so badly. I snapped out of Nan's grasp,ran threw the house,out the front door,down the driveway and just kept running. I heard voices shout my name but I just ignored them. All I could do was keep moving,the only clear thought in my brain was the message for my legs to keep running. I lost track of how much time had passed by,I stopped. I found myself outside the Millennium Stadium and collapsed on a near by bench with a sigh.

All the lost emotions taken away by running suddenly washed over me like a wave hitting the beach. I felt the great knife of betrayal stab me."How could they keep something like this from me. They have lied to me for fifteen years,since the day I was born! They could have hinted to me at least,well I suppose insisting I learn to defend myself could have been a hint,"I thought.

I then begun to feel the sensation of loss. All those times I sat on the stairs in the hallway,staring at the front door,just waiting for my mum and dad to get home from work. All those missed parent days at school. All those missed days by the beach. All those little things because they were off saving the world from Martians or whatever.

I gazed out onto the moving water,just getting lost in my thoughts and emotions. I suppose this is sort of my way of somehow trying to process this. I've always come out here to think. They say everyone has a place to think, I suppose this is mine. My deep thoughts were interrupted by someone sitting down beside me. I didn't turn around to see who it was,nor did I care,I just keep staring at the moving water in the bay.

"Your parents come here a lot to you know,"I recognised the voice as Nan's.

"I feel like I don't even know them any more,"I replied with sadness creeping in me,my voice quiet.

"You do them dear,it's just something they kept back to protect you,"said Nan.

"How can they claim it was protecting me? Something like that isn't protecting,it's just plain lying,"I retorted back,all my real anger lost while running.

"The didn't want you to worry that every time they walked out the door,they might not come back. Violet,your parents do something so courageous for people. Now I know its very unfair that they have to be away from us,but I learned an important lesson along time ago,your parents do great things for the world and no one can ever take that away." This I think was the most sincere and honest thing I had ever heard her say. I let her words play around in my mind. I took my gaze away from the moving water to look at Nan,her face mirrored her words. Standing behind her was Ianto,Owen and Tosh, all of which shared the same similar looks.

"I know it's a lot to take in..."said Ianto for the second time today.

"It is a lot to take in,"I said with no emotion,"but I'm a fast learner,so It shouldn't be that hard to take in right?,"a small smile formed on my lips, as did on everones elses.

"I know your parents would help explain more if they were here,"said Tosh in a sympathetic way.

"Well they can tell me when they get back then can't they?"I said as I walked towards my parents' co-workers.

"I want my parents back safely and to do that I need to know what on Earth or where ever the hell these things are from want and how to stop them,can you help me?"my tone was almost pleading. There faces showed a look of respect and pride.

"Come on then,lets help Miss Harkness,shall we boys?"replied Tosh with a smile on her face.

So what you think?
