hey y'all, i'm back! did ya miss me, huh, did ya, DID YA?! sorry, that's the sugar talking, lol. anywho, here's chapter 4, with a twist i know you didn't see coming!!! i just thought up this idea today as i was typing this chapter, and i hope i didn't make a mistake by posting this. hope you enjoy, and REVIEW!! reviews are always nice. ok, i'll stop rambling so you can read.

"Van Rook?! again? gosh, why are you following me?" i was really getting creeped out. He stepped closer to me.
"they never told you?" i frowned.

"who never told me what?"

"your parents. They never told you were adopted?"

"what?!" i yelled. This dude was seriously tripping. "what are you talking about, i'm not adopted!" Van Rook chuckled.

"oh no?" he held a piece of paper out to me. "read this" i hesitantly took the paper from him and read it. it was a birth certificate for a baby girl;

Name: Galina Van Rook

Date of birth: January 27th, 1998

Gender: female

Country of birth: Russia

Father: Leonidas Van Rook

Mother: Calista Van Rook

My jaw dropped when i saw the photo of the baby at the bottom of the page. I had seen the baby before many times… in all my baby pictures. I screamed and threw the paper away from me as though it had just bitten me. i looked at Van Rook, and i felt like i was going to throw up. My legs were trembling as Van Rook stepped closer to me.

"come now my dear Galina" he said. "aren't you going to say hello to your father?" i shook my head and stepped back.

"no, it's not true! It's impossible! You're not my dad, you can't be!" he chuckled.

"oh, but i am!" he sighed. "i've been hoping you'd come back for 11 years now".

I shook my head.

"you're lying, it's not true!"

he nodded.

"but it is!"

i glared at him. "oh yeah? If it is, then how come i'm not from here, huh? I'm not even from this world, so how can i be your daughter?" Van Rook sighed.

"it was not long after you were born" he said. "i didn't know anything about raising a child, and i was never a very good father anyway. I was gone most of them time and always had to leave you with a babysitter i didn't even trust. But they were cheap, so i hired them. anyway, i finally decided that it was just too much trouble to have a baby. So i decided that you would be adopted. But the people who came to see you were never the right ones. I didn't trust any of them. but then i heard that one of the secret scientists had developed a teleportation device, a device so powerful that it could project portals into different dimensions. So i took you to them and had you sent away, to another world. I knew that you would have a better life there. A better life then i could've ever given you".
by the time he was done, he sounded like he was on the verge of tears, and i wasn't too far from crying either.
"b-but the secret scientists hate you, why would they…?"

"if someone is desperate enough for money, they'll do just about anything" Van Rook said. I felt sick, and my legs were shaking.

"where are the Saturdays?!" i thought, turning around. They were all standing there, and had heard the whole thing. I started to run to them, but Van Rook grabbed my arm.

"you're coming with me Galina!" he yelled, and he started dragging me away.

"no, i'm not going with you!" i screamed. Just then, the claw hit Van Rook, causing him to fall back and let go of me.

"Lina, come on!" Zak yelled. I didn't need to be told twice. I turned and ran like a bat out of… well, you know. I ran to the Saturdays, and we all got in the airship and flew away. I collapsed in a chair, my heart bating fast, tears streaming down my face. Zak put his hand on my shoulder.
"Lina?" i looked at him, and couldn't help myself. I threw my arms around him, pulling him into a hug. My world had just turned upside down, and i wasn't sure about anything anymore. But i did know one thing; i would never join Van Rook, father or not.

DUN DUN DUN!!! didn't see THAT coming did ya?! no, i didn't think so, lol. well, what do you think, was that a good idea or not? and please be honest, becasue i'm starting to get skeptical myself about this whole "Van Rook is Lina's father" thing. well, hope you liked it, and there's going to be hints of ZakxLina from here on throughout the story. so be on the lookout for chapter 5, and don't forget to REVIEW!
