Alien Mutant Human Child

Chapter 4 Dad?!

There, in my kitchen, was a man. He was tall, muscular, had short, black hair and was kinda tan. He had a dark gray shirt on with black jeans and combat boots. He heard me run in and turned around to face me. I could have sworn my heart skipped a beat. I was that shocked. Then a glass cup shattered. Why was I shocked? This man had red eyes, like mine, and had all sorts of scars on his face and his neck. It was the eyes that shocked me. Like mine...and the ones from my dream. Anyways, I stared at him for a moment when another glass cup shattered. I was brought back to reality and got my emotions under control.

"Can I help you?" I asked the man.

"Yes. I am looking for someone named Maxcine Grace." He said. His voice sounded like he was mad 24/7 or something.

"That's me. Who are you?" I said. One of my contact lenses started to bug me. He took a deep breath before responding.

"I am....your dad." Another glass cup shattered. I stared at him with complete disbelief. No way in hell is this man my.....wait.......I know this man. From a dream. The dream started to replay in my mind.

Rain was coming down really fast as me, daddy and three of his troops drove down the wet road. Daddy was sitting next to me in the back of one of his troops. We were the car in the middle. Daddy was in his human form. I had just turned 5. I had a suitcase next to me. Daddy and I were going somewhere. Well, he was taking me somewhere. Apparently it was getting too scary for me to stay on the ship, so daddy arranged for me to live with a normal family. He had spent a long time looking for them. They had a lot of money and were very nice. And tonight, I was going to go live with them. I didn't want to go and daddy didn't want me to go. But, he said that I had to. We pulled up and I saw my new mom and dad standing outside under an umbrella. Once the car came to a stop, daddy got out and I crawled to the other side and he picked me up. One of his troops was holding an umbrella above us. Daddy grabbed my suitcase and walked over to my new parents and stopped.

"Max, this is Abby and Kevin." Daddy said to me. He sounded really really sad, but he was trying to be strong. I smiled as best as I could and waved.

"We're so glad you're going to stay with us Max." Abby said. Daddy set me down and handed me my suitcase. Then he bent down and hugged me really tight. I hugged back.

"Am I ever going to see you again Daddy?" I asked once he pulled away.

"You will Max. When you're older, I'll come get you." He said with a smile.

"How will I know you're coming to get me?" I asked.

"You'll know." Then he took a necklace out of his pocket and placed it around my neck.

"So you'll remember me." He said. I hugged him one last time and he hugged me back. He kissed me on the cheek, stood up and walked away. I watched him get in the car and drive off.

"Until I'm older." I said to myself as Kevin picked my suitcase up and went inside with me and Abby.

The dream er-memory ended and I was left standing with a man who claims to be my dad in front of me. I guess he was kind of expecting me to react the way I am because he was really really calm. I walked up to him and, with a bit hesitation, put my hands on his face. He didn't react. He just stared into my eyes. I stared back with my hands on his face before smiling.

"Dad?"

He smiled back. "Hello Max."

I collapsed into him. "Ohmigosh Dad!!" I said as his arms wrapped around me.

"It's good to see you too." He chuckled. I pulled away.

"How?" I asked, trying to figure out what questions I should ask. He placed a finger on my necklace.

"The necklace I gave you has a tracking device. So I could keep an eye on you." He explained. I smiled and hugged him again. After a moment he pulled away.

"Where's Mom?" I asked. His smile turned into a frown and his eyes saddened. He was silent for a moment before he sighed and spoke.

"I think it's time you knew what happened to your mother." He said.
