  - So let's see what happens! - Samuel was eager for something to be revealed, since they had not guessed rightly aboard technical manuals of operation of the Spaceship, which could read, much less in the language they understand, if there was the slightest possibility of being wrong.

  - It works something like this! - Looked at him illuminated by the faint light emanating from the ground, he could not help opening an angelic smile he realized without delay.

  - What did you find so funny? - She asked her friend not understand why she smiled with such grace. Still beautiful despite the adversities at that moment doubted that at some point in their lives she could come to belong to him. Chris was a boy of luck and seemingly nothing would change that.

  - Is that in general people are awful when the lights focus indirectly on them coming under ... - was not his case and that's what surprised her, remained beautiful as he had seen the first time still wrapped in a wet towel way Lucan. She felt her heart getting squeezed in her chest, her feelings confused continuously.

  - It is a creation of a Russian inventor Léon Theremin called Russian in 1928, is a very old thing! - Decided it would be best to change the subject or end up staying in his arms or on it that some treading floor. - It works like this; one hand controls the frequency and another volume, so if the Theremin is a musical instrument, which does not seem to be the case! - Lightly swung his hands up and down and realized he was right. It did not work as a musical instrument, but as a computer keyboard. It was the gateway to unravel that intricate technology.

  - Got it! Song! - Sam has positioned itself in front of her arms folded and sought to make similar moves without getting any results. - But for what reason I cannot make it work? - Still was not sure if they could some positive results with everything and this particular part of the intrigued.

  Riley also did not understand why those things respond to your touch and not to him. The humanoids also had that same "power" which she now enjoyed, even though he had no idea how to use it. He remembered her beloved Chris and his explanation of how human beings were "harvested" by the bells and they do not.

  - Hypothetically could be by DNA markers ... - he spoke quietly to herself, but not Samuel realizes what she was saying and purposeful interruption in the sequence of thought.

  - Where you going with that theory? - I was confused and intrigued by the last words I heard from the lips woman he loved and who was still standing in front of you while I could not play it as you like.

  Riley looked at him with obvious disappointment in look and more apprehensive than usual, the truth that had just revealed in his mind was not comfortable at all, on the contrary, quite scary and the tendency would be to come to deteriorate to the extent that it was forward the findings of the invading people.

  - The Rh factor that determines who can and cannot use these things ... It's like a genetic marker ... From provenance ... - ran his hands over to the side of where remained and at different times and new lights with different formats ignited. - I and they, or rather we "invisible" in any way share the same characteristics of the alien, therefore I "talk" with this thing and you do not.

  It made perfect sense in Samuel's mind the explanation she gave him. Seen at other times as bright turquoise light changed color to red while on the "invisible", was a security method preventing own system creators and captors of the human race were mistakenly abducted. It made perfect sense in Samuel and Riley's mind, but it was he who asked.

  - That makes you a hybrid be? - He was serious about the question to be answered.

  - I do not know Sam ... - Riley remained head down pretending I was interested in light system that tried to control and not for the atrocious and malicious insinuation that he had just done. - I do not think your sister is some sort of hybrid be much less than their parents were some sort of alien ... Do not you agree? - Gave him a glance, they did not question it took. Just wanted to see if he'd understand what he had to say and what she had explained. In any case, I felt that things would not go well.

  Chapter II

  Samantha and Rex

  Chris Raines has just set out to the O'Connor family whole saga that he along with the missing daughter of Brian and Nora, sitting in front of him, had sailed since the invasion began. In truth, none of them knew for sure what had happened after the bells landed, much less where they would be Riley and Sam, but one would assume that if they were not in any of the other objects that landed certainly would be on board Mother ship. And that was the second phase of Chris plan, finding the giant meteor or whatever it was and traveling through space carrying the rest of the human race who had been kidnapped and to an uncertain fate.

  - But it's protected by my brother Samuel, nothing can happen to you! - Samantha concluded the story of Chris and foremost trusted blindly his brother and saw him as their favorite superhero. She believed him.

  - Yes my little Samantha, they are good! Riley is also taking care of Samuel, nothing will happen to them! - Chris even though most likely already lost altogether if not for Aliens are sure to Sam, wished with all my heart that they were good. After all he had Anne beside her; he saw no reason why Riley was not happy in his own way.

  - "Love is this, you want the best loved one even though this is the worse for yourself ..." - thought in silence, as if you took a huge weight off the shoulders.

  - We can only thank him for what he did Chris, at that moment you burst through the door with that absurd story about aliens, we had no idea that it would end this way! - Brian lamented the fate of her daughter, but intimately knew what she was capable and nothing heard the young man sitting in front of you spoke instead. He remembered all the lessons it had taught him over the years, hoped she remembered them and make good use of them.

  - You loved Chris? - Nora O'Connor was more direct, knew the feelings of his daughter by him and was wondering if it was matched in his last moments. It was crucial that had this certainty and peace of heart

  - We were close at times, especially at the end ... Yes I love her ... I think I still love... - looked at Anne who was sitting next to Nora and had not realized that they had a relationship to. If at some point had this perception, I wanted to know how far he was sincere.

  Anne remained silent knowing that even disputed your loved one with a ghost.

  - I do not think we need to know a detail that now does not matter, the important thing is that at least now we know what finally happened to our daughter Riley and even if she does not have the proper credit for what he did, at some point will be recognized or it takes a hundred years! That I promise! - Do not let the memory of daughter were erased from human history and unless it was diminished by political vanity of those who now rule the world. But I knew perfectly well that the story would always written by the victors and in his own way. I was determined to do everything in their power to her daughter take his rightful place in history. The last bastion of a race that was subdued in a single night by an external agent.

  - Yes, during this year when we were here in the hope that she showed up, I had no idea what had happened! You were very enlightening and kind to tell us! - Nora finished saying goodbye conversation of all present and climbed the ladder. The room was pink with white and floral furniture to feel the presence of her daughter one last time.

  - And your parents Chris? - Brian wanted to return the favor at least a little more interesting if the life of the boy who had been intimate of his only daughter and who had been his guardian angel in their absence.

  - I did not, at least not so far! - He took Anne's hand so they could leave. - In any case, if not on earth, are in good hands I'm sure! Riley protects them! Will not let anything happen to them! - I had already thought of that possibility and was one of the thoughts strengthening him when he felt her absence. Her parents protected full time by the bravest person I had ever known.

  - Samantha! You can come up here a minute please? - Nora the top of the stairs leading to the second floor gestured for her to come. - May c
ome! Rex knows the way! - She smiled at the girl who had risen from her seat and ran up the stairs. People who were on the floor below were silent.

  - See Samantha, this was the Riley Room! - Took her to see the pink room. - All these beautiful things that are painted white with colorful flowers were two of us we did when we had some free time! - Samantha looked at who had the shining eyes.

  - It looks like a doll's room! Riley was a doll right? - Smiled at that Nora felt a pang at the memory of daughter and was as sweet. - Hold until she comes! I'm sure she will like too! - Sat on the bed is lined with lilac single sheet and let her weight oscillated on the mattress.

  - Do you like being with Chris and Anne? - Again I probed a little girl who saw nothing other in their questions was not just curiosity.

  - They take care of me and always listen to me! But they do not like to play and are not as old as you and Mr. Brian! - Lay down on the bed and broke into a wide smile that lit up the whole environment. Nora was sure he was on the right track. - Look! There on the ceiling! - He pointed to the fine and delicate finger. - It's a puzzle? - He asked not being quite sure why a framework would be set in the ceiling above the bed.

  - Yes, it's a puzzle! This specifically is called Schloss Neuschwanstein, also known as the Castle of Ludwig, we gave her last year! - He ran his fingers through small hairs Samantha lying in bed in her daughter. - Every year she asked one and when finished, held on the ceiling! Others are stored inside the cabinet ... - he looked at one of the corner of the room where they knew they would be.

  - Someday I'll be able to have a room so? - He asked the young girl let Rex lick on the cheek as she smiled.

  - This room can be yours if you want ... - Nora had reached his goal, he was not willing to live an incipient life with her husband feeling the absence of his daughter every time I crossed that corridor. The house needed a presence with free spirit and Samantha could be what you are looking further, the little princess to your front had a big emotional bond with Rex and his own daughter, even absent, it was clearly visible.

  - I wish I could! But who will take care of Chris and Anne? - I was concerned about friends that protected since Sam had disappeared in turquoise blue light of those golden and scary things, but beautiful.

  - I think we can work something out ... Let's go down and talk to each other! - He took her by the hand and went down followed by Rex seemed to understand the plan that was running.

  - Well here I am! - Brian stood up to kiss his wife now had another face, was more radiant than ever out in recent months. - Where they walked? - He asked.

  - We were talking upstairs! - She looked at her husband who understood nothing of the enigmatic smile she gave him. - How old are you Chris? - I wondered.

  - Seventeen now ... - Brian looked at trying to catch him if he had noticed anything that would give him a clue as to the reason for the question.

  - And you Anne? Is your name right? - He ran his hand through his hair, wanted to look more friendly than perhaps it had not been since the beginning of the conversation with your guests.

  - A year younger than Chris ... - it felt weakened.

  - You are very young and have a wonderful future ahead! They deserve every opportunity to live that life you can provide! - She held her husband's hand tightly, knowing that the critical moment approached. - And knowing that the times are harder, like to make a proposal! - Still holding her husband's hand was now damp with sweat. I knew then that he understood what she was doing.

  - What kind of proposal lady O'Connor? - It was Chris Raines who realized that things were about to change.

  - What do you think of leaving Samantha to stay here with me and Brian? - A deep silence settled in the room.

  - I think you will continue living in the house of their fathers, Raines across the street and is not far away so they can meet every day if they want! - Insisted thinking not only in solitude she felt without the presence of his daughter, but also why Samantha was too young to be in their company, even having gone through all that narrated, were still just teenagers and with absolute certainty that would change the anytime living under the same roof.

  - I do not know ... I never thought about separate us ... - Chris was reluctant to do. - Samuel confided in her sister and I'm not sure if we can give it up as you wish! - Needed to gain time to think, the purpose of that visit was not this.

  - What you want to do Samantha? - Anne was more objective and rational than him in this aspect, also had a plan in place.

  - I would like to stay in Riley's room and Rex! - Environmental seduction and safety of the place have left no doubt in her mind.

  - So I think you should stay my little Samantha! - Knelt down to hug she loved her like a sister. - And you know we are across the street if you need right? - He looked at Chris, then Brian and Nora who thanked him quietly with his head. Were women, thought the same and spoke the same language.

  - I do not know what to say Mrs. O'Connor, not even sure I like the idea! - Chris felt at a disadvantage to feel that the three had already decided the future of his friend and protected.

  - See Chris at any time we need to perform the second phase of Plan Phoenix and Samantha cannot go with us, we cannot put it at risk! - Anne had a sense of time and needed that he had both feet on the ground there and now also wanted a life with him, a life together that previously never had.

  - Yes ... I'd forgotten that are not done yet! - He looked at the others present breathing deep and rising then. - Come here my little Samantha! - He took her on his lap. - Anne and I always will be across the street, when you need to just run back and open the door, okay? - Kissed the shaking strongly in his arms his frail body against his. I feel endless longing.

  - I'll be fine Chris! But I'll still take care of you even when away! - She kissed his face waiting for him to put on the floor. - Tell Bobby Flanngan where I am! - Disappeared in the top of the stairs. - Do not forget! - Yet was heard in the distance as he disappeared.

  - Yes, I know you will take care of us as it always has! - He told the void that was in his heart, let her run the stairs going to the pink room where he had been with Riley and saw her completely. Never in his life forget that day.

  - Thank you Chris! - Nora would be eternally grateful to him for this gift. Brian gave him a hug as if from father to son.

  - I would never have done it without her ... Samantha never left us to forget those who lost or left behind ... - reached out to Anne and headed for the door and exit. There was nothing to do in that place that only brought him successive losses. Never in her life would go there again.

  - We will always be here Chris, you two are also the family now! Come whenever you want, it will be great having company from time to time! - Brian led them to the door. - What is the Phoenix Plan, Chris?

  - Riley and Sam! We will behind them someday! - He left without another word.

  Chris and Anne walked slowly to the other side of the street where they lived, he felt such a void as had once felt for Riley, but this love was different and also had no sense of loss, but only the absence of a loved one now I was no longer with him. Anne felt the same as him, but as a woman although young, knew that adults were better with children than they ever would. There the small Samantha could have a life and maybe even better luck than they themselves would have, the storm was yet to come, and she knew it.

  - We'll be fine Chris, do not worry! - Anne kissed his face clinging to his arm as they crossed the street. Chris entered the parental home and where he lived now and climbed the stairs to the room, it was night, and he felt like the old days looking at the Riley's bedroom window to see if she turned off the light ... But the light still burning long time.

  Sleepers

  - They are not my people ... You Samuel yes! - Were the only hard and dry words that Riley could pronounce realizing the visible suspicion in his voice when he asked her if she would be some sort of hybrid. Riley was deeply hurt by that absurd and unfounded assumption.

  Sa
muel lowered his head in confusion with what was thought just before about the woman he loved, at another time, be prepared to follow it throughout the universe, but now was not so sure. He remembered the dead father so tragically defending the family against an enemy who did not know and who did not have a chance of defense and his mother having to make the "sacrifice" and why they were both there at the time. Finally, he thought of his sister Samantha and the fact of having it left behind with no option of choice and will of Riley.

  - Excuse me ... I do not know what happened! - Still I thought it would be possible that there was a specific class of humans who could have such close parallels with the invaders.

  Riley pretended to be to quarrel and was still in the operating mechanism that could elucidate the mechanics behind the spaceship that every minute that passed made them further. After some trial and error finally got a result using a combination of colors and shapes and elevations hand, it was fantastic as quick study and unveiled the secrets of that civilization, previously unknown. A star map containing various planets and moons have come and filled the entire room, they were inserted inside.

  - What you see Sam? - He stood with his hands in the same position that nothing came out of the place.

  - Many planets, several moons around them and if we look more closely we can see also the solar systems to which they belong! - Spun on its axis to see in three hundred and sixty degrees.

  - What about names? What do you think? - Again I wanted his opinion on how the Aliens names attributed to the planets and places she now unveiled.

  - I do not know ... I know nothing of these characters even resemble much to the hieroglyphic script, but with absolute certainty much more elaborate! - Looked away to her that remained earnest at what he did and slowly move your hands up and down, occasionally sideways or front and rear. - I think it's a navigation map! - Concluded his opinion.

  - Yes, I believe it is only a map not yet knows how it will help us! - Did not give him to understand that unlike him, she could see clearly and in the language they spoke all existing nomenclature on the map. - "Koptac, Lirren and Harin on the other side Ajax, Rutnic and Vralin." - Read in thought all the names that followed his gaze. I began to believe that it was a kind of aberration and perhaps Sam was right, somehow she and the invaders had a degree of kinship. Just do not yet know how, but in time unveil this mystery as well.
