Seth's POV:

We arrived at the mountain base and trekked along the rocky ledge. Jack Bruno and Dr Alex kept tripping on the rocks but Becky seemed fine. I walked beside her. "You've done this before, haven't you?" I asked. She looked at me, her beautiful hazel eyes glowed fiercely.

"I used to hike a lot when my mom was alive. But never on Witch Mountain; this place freaked her out" she told me, tucking some hair behind her ear. I smiled. She smiled back, blushing.

Before Sara and I have to leave, I'll tell her. She should at least know.

As we waited for Jack Bruno and Dr Alex to return, we found out why Becky grew up the way she did. Her mother raised her after her father abandoned them. She met Jack Bruno when she was 6. She lost her mother to a tumour three years later, Jack Bruno took her in. She never forgot that she was different. Dr Alex and Jack Bruno returned and started to take us in another direction. Sara stumbled, mumbling nonsense before blacking out. Dr Alex caught her. Becky noticed a red dart in her neck and examined it. "Oh no" she gasped.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a red-haired man aim for her neck. I knew he would shoot a dart to render her unconscious like Sara. I frowned and moved beside her. A dart meant for her hit me in the neck and I blacked out.

Becky's POV:

Seth collapsed on me. I saw the tranquillizer dart in his neck as I caught him. "SETH!" I screamed. Project Moon Dust took Sara from Alex but had to pry Seth from me, putting them on stretchers, covering them with foil and taking them to load into a van. I glared at Henry Burke, the Project leader. "Let them go and leave us alone!" I demanded, trying to lunge at him.

The dart gun man was holding me back. "Shut up, you freakish brat!" he snapped.

I glared at him, recognizing the man who abandoned me, and spat in his face. "Fuck off" I snapped back.

"They just want to go home" Jack stated.

"They are home, in my custody. I can have you done for 20 years just for standing here. And tell your daughter to watch her language, Charles" Henry bragged.

"If you lay a finger on them, especially on him, you'll regret it!" I spat, losing my temper.

"I was impressed with the male. That dart was meant for you so you wouldn't cause a fuss. But he gallantly moved in front of you" Henry told me.

My father threw me in the van. As the van started, I crawled over to Seth. "Seth, you idiot! You had to protect me, didn't you?" I sobbed, collapsing on him when the van jolted. When they got there, they prepared Seth and Sara for dissection. Using my powers, I broke a lot of equipment, yelling to try and make them leave Seth and Sara alone, so they knocked me out. I felt something cold and sharp slice my skin and blacked out.

Alex's POV:

Jack and I sneaked in, squeezing through the pipes. "I get claustrophobic in tight spaces" I said.

"How are you with heights?" he asked, opening the shaft. We climbed up until we found where they were, observing a small, glass room containing Seth, Sara, Becky and two scientists. We found a way in. I kicked two men in the back of the head. Jack stared at me, his expression was both shocked and impressed.

"I grew up with brothers" I said. We took Sara's necklace, the tracker and the data files and put them in our pockets. We put on the uniforms and went down into the glass where we pushed the scientists out. They fell onto damaged equipment. Did Becky do that? Because of her alien DNA?

"That's Becky's doing" Jack told me. We changed the tubes connected to Seth and Sara from nitrogen to oxygen. They woke up, using their powers to free themselves. "You didn't think we'd leave you, did you?" Jack asked Sara.

Sara smiled but saw that Becky wasn't moving. "Is Rebecca alright?" she asked.

Seth got off the table and ran over to help her sit up. "Oh no" he muttered.

I knew it! He's in love with her!

Seth's POV:

I felt uneasy when I saw a long gash on Becky's shoulder. It's my fault, I didn't protect her like I promised. I saw the damaged equipment. Wait, she can manipulate gravity? "Becky!" I called, shaking her. No response. Becky, wake up. I can't believe I let this happen! I will kill whoever did this to you!

A siren went off. I picked Becky in my arms and we ran then hid. Becky regained consciousness. "Seth. Good, they didn't hurt you" she whispered. I sighed in relief, glad she was ok. I put her back on her feet.

Dr Alex returned our things to us. We walked up the ladder to see our spacecraft being observed by scientists. "We have to hurry" Sara told Jack Bruno.

"Tell them that" he said.

"Good idea" Dr Alex exclaimed as she took a lab coat, put it on and went down.

"Seth, why didn't you leave me behind?" Becky asked when she realised I hadn't let go of her.

"I made a promise to you, Becky. I intend to keep it" I reminded her, my features softening.

Becky's POV:

When Alex blackmailed the scientists to leave, we came down. I gazed at the spaceship. Seth placed the tracker on it. A ramp appeared and we stepped on, the project surrounding us. Jack and I stood in front of Seth and Sara protectively. "A noble but empty gesture" Henry teased.

"They're just kids" Jack snapped.

"This time I'll protect them. It may not matter to you if they live or die but it matters to me!" I yelled. Seth laced his hand in mine, gripping it tightly. Sara came beside Jack, clutching his hand. Alex took Seth's other hand.

Henry chuckled. They shot at us but the bullets ricocheted. I glanced at Seth, he was protecting us with his powers. "Hold your fire!" Henry yelled. They stopped. We let go of each other's hands.

There was an explosion so we ran up the ramp, into the control panel. "You do know how to fly this thing, right?" Jack asked.

"How do you think we got here?" Seth remarked sarcastically.

"Well, you crashed, remember?" Jack pointed out.

Seth and Sara piloted the spaceship so we made a narrow escape. Suddenly there was the sound of malfunction. "The airlock is jammed! I need to manually unblock the system" Seth exclaimed.

"Just tell me what to do. It's nothing I can't handle" I said.

Seth considered it. "Jack Bruno, go with her. Becky, the airlock is in the central chamber. To unblock it, the problem needs to be identified and removed. And be careful" he finally said.

Jack and I entered the chamber where the airlock was. We pulled the door open and got attacked by the Siphon. Jack punched it. Its helmet broke off, revealing a pink fleshy head. "You looked better with the helmet on" Jack said then punched it.

The Siphon grabbed my neck. "Let go, you son of a.." I yelled. Its hand tightened on my neck, my tone became raspy.

I looked over to see Seth approaching to see what was wrong. When he saw that the Siphon was trying to strangle me, he looked furious. "Let go of her" he ordered. The Siphon dropped me then tried to punch Seth, its fist went through. Seth shoved him in the airlock. Jack kicked the Siphon into the fire-pit, killing it. He scrambled out and we closed the airlock. I placed my hand on the door, creating a bolt.

Soon we were back at the mountain's base. "Thank you, Rebecca." Sara said.

"Take care" I told her, hugging her. I shyly looked at Seth who was talking to Jack. He was no different than when I met him, except he wore the white satin clothing the project had dressed him and Sara in. White is definitely his colour. He's really one in a million. I never thought I'd find a guy who sees through me like that.

"You really do love my brother, don't you Rebecca? You believe no one means as much to you as Seth" Sara whispered. She went to say goodbye to Alex. Junkyard bounded towards Sara.

Why do I still feel empty? It intensified when Seth looked at me. Oh. He doesn't know how I feel.

Seth approached me after apologising to Jack. "Becky, is something on your mind?" he asked.

"Seth, listen. Before I met you, I never cared about what people thought. But you're special, Seth. I care about you. The reason I overreact at whatever you say or do is because...I love you" I told him, blushing. His hand cupped my face, making me look in his chromatic, blue with specks of grey eyes.

Seth's POV

"Becky, you've become so important to me. You're the first person I ever apologised to. All the emotions I've suppressed kept rushing back when I realised I could trust you. I kept trying to save you because I love you" I confessed, kissing her. I felt her kiss me back, her mouth tasted sweet as I forced my tongue past her lips to deepen the kiss. I knew it, Becky's the one. My arms found their way around her waist. Hers wrapped around my neck, drawing me into her and making my senses go crazy.

I could hear Sara giggling. "Looks like my brother has told Rebecca he loves her and she must have told him she loves him" she remarked. Dr Alex and Jack Bruno chuckled.

Soon I had to break the kiss to look at her. "Is that what you were talking to Jack about?" she asked, slightly breathless. She was also quite flustered but she was smiling. I placed my forehead on hers.

"Yes, Becky" I replied. I was not only apologising to him but I was also asking his permission to be with her and he had agreed, as long as I didn't do anything to break her heart like a certain someone had. I had given him my word; it was a promise I can keep. I placed something in her hand and closed it into a fist. "So I can find you when I return" I explained, holding her.

"I'll miss you so much" she mumbled as I stroked her hair. I had to let go. Sara and I walked up the ramp to our spaceship then turned. Becky waved goodbye. I waved back.

Becky's POV:

I watched the spaceship rise then zoom into hyperspace. Jack placed a hand on my shoulder. "He'll come back" he reassured me. I hugged him, burying my face in his shirt to cry. His arms wrapped around me. I opened my fist to reveal the small tracker Seth gave me. Jack's right, Seth wouldn't have kissed me if he didn't love me! Jack pulled Alex into the hug. She didn't seem to mind as she joined in. I gazed at the sky and felt my lips. The stars twinkled. It was official. I'm in love with an extraterrestrial.
