> Nick knew exactly how she felt about going back but sticking around this place was not safe. This was defiantly not the time to start dropping hints about the secret. He glanced over at Rachel to see her reaction to what Alex was saying. She looked confused, who wouldn't? He gave Rach a 'we'll be back' look (if there is one of those! lol) then lead Alex into a different part of the house. "I know you're tired of the secrets and I know its hard to keep it from everyone but right now is defiantly not the time to be dropping hints or telling anyone." Alex I nodded, "I'm sorry, it's just getting harder all the time. And now...I hate lying to the people I care about." I looked up at him and smiled, "maybe we've reached the time to quit hiding." I knew that this wasn't the right time to be having this conversation, things had been going well up until now. Rachel Oddness was certainly the rule of the day, I slumped back into my chair with a deep sigh. As I started to relax I heard a noise behind me, I turned but all I saw was white light as I was struck from behind.
