Kirstin's POV

“That’s….a lot to process.”
My mom says quietly, after I explain everything that’s happened.
“I just can’t believe my brother would keep all this from me.” My-erm- Uncle says. I shrug and bite my lip to hold back tears that want to spill. He just looks SO MUCH like my dad that it’s hard to bare.
He must either read my face or my mind, because he stands stiffly. “I-we should probably get back to the lost cities…”
He says quietly.
Mother sighs and stands, looking at him hard for a second, as if to convince herself that he’s really not her long lost husband.
“Thank you for coming, and for everything you and your kind have done for us.” She says softly.
He nods,accepting her gratitude.
“I only wish we could have done more.”
He says, also quietly.

Ten minutes later, I stand on the porch, Charlie standing next to me. "Kirstin... it's been nice knowing you.." Charlie say slowly. "Will I really never see you again?" I ask, biting my lip. Charlie shrugs, then quick as a flash, leans over and kisses me on the cheek. My hand flies to my cheek in surprise and Charlie blushes. There's an awkward pause before Johnathan pushs his way between us, glaring at Charlie. "Come on Charlie. We have to go." He growls before walking on toward the car.
Charlie sighs, and looks back up at me. "I know we probably won't ever see each other again, but..... I just want you to know that..... I've always liked you....like.... more than a friend." He whispers, blushing. "I.....Ive felt the same." I admit, also blushing. Zaporah chooses that moment to come out of the house, and when she sees us, she just grins. Which of course makes us blush more. Zaporah just laughs and tugs Charlie on to the car. Charlie waves sadly over his shoulder. I slowly wave back. Then my mother and grandmother join me to watch Zaporah, Charlie, Jonathan, Liza and Dr Hench as they crowd into the small car to go back to their shuttle.
“I’ll probably never see them again..”
I mutter.
Don't be so sure.
Zaporahs voice echos thru my mind.
I smile, then turn and walk back into the house.
Part Elf, Part Alien, And part human.
What do you know?

Can you think of anything else I forgot to close up?
