Nobody knows [KrelxMary]

Chapter 10 - Love you as you are

"Dad!" yelled Darci. Officer Scott came running into the clearing. "What's up?" He stopped and looked around. Nothing. "Should that be a bad joke?" he asked his daughter sternly. The others looked around too. Aja, Krel, the bounty hunters, everyone was gone. Eli pulled the officer who was about to leave on his sleeve "there were aliens!"

"Yeah sure...!" he said, pulling off his sleeve and leaving.

There was silence. "Guys?" Steve asked. Mary looked down "But ... why did he never told me ... why did he ... why is he ..." she mumbled.

Darci looked at her friend "Who is he? " Mary looked around, "why ..."

"Because he wanted to protect you!" said Prince Krel, who enters the clearing with Aja again. They stopped. Mary walked very slowly toward the aliens and stopped in front of him to take a close look. Blue, glowing skin, black-blue but treacherous eyes, pointy hair, a particularly effective body, four arms and not to forget: big.

"Oh.." Mary breathed and put a hand on Krels core. Krel put his hand on hers "I am sorry ..." he whispered softly but audibly.

She searched his eyes "What ... no ... who are you?" she asked. Krel took a step back and politely bowed, "My name is Prince Krel Tarron, I am the king-in-waiting of a planet named Akiridion-5."

Everyone looked at the two aliens. But nobody seemed to feel anything like fear. Krel looked at Mary "Listen ... I wanted to tell you - I really wanted that! But ... but I did not know how! I-"

Mary grabbed Krels face and pulled it close. His lips to hers. Her friends didn't know why they should be confused. Because Aja and Krel were aliens, or because... Mary kissed that Alien?

Mary let Krel go "I could never hate you! I love you! And ... not because of your look or your background or ..." she laughed sweetly "of your number of arms... but because you are ... you ."

Krels uncertain gaze turned to a smile. He nodded and he and Mary hugged. Until Aja stood behind him with his arms folded and cleared his throat "Little brother! Is there something you wanted so say?"

"I'm terribly sorry, Aja ... but that was ... an uncomfortable topic ...!" Krel folded his hands. Mary stood between the two "Yes, Aja ..." she fell silent to take a closer look at Aja "you know ... now you can see that you are related!"

Everyone laughed heartily. "So ... aren't you mad at us?" asked Krel. Darci put her hands over her mouth while laughing "No, everything's cool!"

"It would be nice if you don't tell anyone!" said Aja.

"Sure! You can count on us!"
