Zombies 4

Part 4 (Chapter 17) The Truth behind a told Truth

*At Zombietown near the Moonstone. Ava and A-Lan arrived.

Ava: OK. Starting with a few basic questions. Starting with how you and Micayla feel about each other and how much you two feel in love.

A-Lan: That sounds like the same thing.

*Addison got there and hid in a bush.

Ava: So?

A-Lan: We love each other very much.

Ava: How strong is that love?

A-Lan: Pretty strong.

Ava: How much do you guys want to be together?

A-Lan: Very.

Ava: OK. Now the complicated questions. How do you feel about being with a Mermaid?

A-Lan: Very sure.

Ava: Do you respect what a Mermaid does for her life?

A-Lan: I guess I do.

Ava: You have to be sure of it.

A-Lan: If I knew what Micayla does for her living, I will definitely respect it.

Ava: Will you be OK with a Mermaid going back in the Ocean for certain things?

A-Lan: I think so. Probably. Yes.

Ava: Now the challenging questions. Will you grow feeling that you don't want to be together with a Mermaid?

A-Lan: I would never.

Ava: (gets tense) Will you leave a Mermaid if you two start fighting and arguing?

A-Lan: No.

*Ava started getting tears.

A-Lan: Ava. Are you OK?

Ava: My mom's husband is my step father. My birth father is an Alien.

A-Lan: What?

Ava: He left her after two years of giving birth to me. Then she met her husband, Malcum Waters. My siblings, their names start with A. It defines our mothers history with my birth father. They are all full Mermaids and Mermen.

A-Lan: What does that make you?

Ava: Half Mermaid and Half Alien. I believe that both, Aliens and Mermaids should be together again. But, my mother believes that it should not happen.

A-Lan: Did something happen?

Ava: My birth father, Alan Cortes, he tortured my mother.

*A-Lan became confused.

A-Lan: Did you just say Alan Cortes?

Ava: Yes.

*A-Lan became surprised.

A-Lan: That's my dads name.

Ava: What?

A-Lan: When were you born?

Ava: 2004, July 9th.

A-Lan: So was I.

Ava: What?

A-Lan: My dad told me about this other girl. He said that I have a twin sister.

Ava: My mom told me that I had a twin brother.

A-Lan: My dad told me that my birth mother is Alena Storm

Ava: Storm is my mother's maiden name.

*They realized something.

Ava: We're siblings.

A-Lan: You're my sister.

Ava: You're my brother.

A-Lan: That means I am part Merman.

Ava: I can't believe this.

A-Lan: Me neither.

*They hugged each other.

Addison: What!?

*She grabbed her mouth quickly with one of her hands. Ava and A-Lan heard her.

A-Lan: Addison?

*Ava and A-Lan pulled away from the hug and faced the bush Addison is hiding behind. Addison dropped her hand and stood up slowly facing them with her arms held up in surrender.

Addison: I'm sorry.

*She lowered her arms down.

Addison: I couldn't help but follow you and spy on you.

Ava: You heard everything.

Addison: Yes. Yes, I did. You two are twin siblings.

Ava: We have the same set of parents. It's totally not a coincidence.

*A-Lan wrapped his arm around Ava's shoulders.

A-Lan: This is an amazing surprise.

Addison: I am positive that your parents would be happy that you found each other.

Ava: Yeah. But, my mom is very serious about rules. Once one is broken, we take action.

Addison: I don't really get your mom.

Ava: It's a mystery for the land people. I'm not sure about the Aliens.

*The others arrived.

Eliza: There she is.

Wyatt: What happens now?

Eliza: What is going on here? Are you two seeing each other?

Ava: No. It's not what you think.

Zed: Then what is this?

Ava: We are siblings. We have the same set of parents. We're twins.

A-Li: Impossible.

Ava: I know that my birth father is Alan Cortes, and he knows that his birth mother is Alena Storm. Storm is my mother's maiden name. My mothers mom is a Mermaid and her father is an Alien. My other siblings are full Mermaids and Mermen because their birth father is Malcum Waters. All the Mermaids and Mermen have their names start with M. My sibling's names start with A because it defines my mothers past.

*All of them are surprised.
