Alex was amazed that this kid knew about her past, "How could he possibly know." She thought, and realized that lying to him wasn't something she really wanted to do.

"Well, you are right about something being wrong with my story. The people you know as my parents, aren't." She said, waiting a moment to let that sink in before continuing, "My 'father' is really my uncle, and 'mom' is his wife. My parents were killed back in back home, by a ruthless man. See my parents had powers, I can't remember what exactly, but we always had fresh fruit, even in the winter months, so I am guessing they could grow them or something. My uncle and Aunt were visiting when it happened." She stopped to take a breath, "Someoen broke into our house, and killed them both, and i just remember so much blood." She shivered at the memory, "So, they braught me back to try and keep me safe, and they have, until now." She felt a tear escape her eye, she always cried when she remembered her parents, but she was not going to let herself break down now, when Jonathan and Matty both needed her.

She gave herself a moment to recompose herself before starting again, "Ok, I felt you were old enough to know, I told your brother when we were twelve. Now tell me, what do you remember about me?" She said, eyes still bloodshot, but she had a smile on her face, despite the aweful memories going through her head.
