Alicia and Bray arrived at the mall late in the night. Alicia ran up the stairs and woke everyone up. "What do you want now?" Amber asked half asleep. "Look for yourself." Amber looked at Bray and ran into his arms. Trudy walked over to Alicia and pulled her into the other room.
Once they were out of anyone else's earshot. Trudy and Alicia sat on the sofa. "I know who your parents are." Trudy whispered. "Who?" Alicia spoke in her normal voice. "Sh, please, I don't want anyone to hear." "Alright, talk, Now!" Trudy looked fondly at the girl. "You are so much like your mother. But that's a good thing because you have your father's morals." "Cut to the point Trudy!" Alicia sneered. "Your parents are Bray and Ebony." Trudy looked at Alicia who was in complete shock. "But...why?" "Why what?" " I was an Eco, my tribe was completely against Ebony. Eagle , Amber as you know her, hated Ebony because she knew that Ebony and her love Bray had a child in the past. But she never knew that was me." Alicia cried. Trudy hugged her. "Is you want to confront them, you can. But I can tell you, don't except Ebony to have any feelings for you. At all."
Bray and Amber were making up for lost time when Bray Jr. came into the room. "Mum, who is this?" Bray looked at his son and smiled. Amber called Jr. over. "This is your father." Immediately Bray hugged his son and Jr. hugged him back. "I am so sorry I was gone." Bray was crying. "No problem, Mum told me you were in a prison or dead." Alicia came in with Trudy. Ebony and Jay had arrived at the mall and were walking up the stairs. Alicia called Bray and Ebony to her. "Tell me the truth!" Alicia cried. Bray and Ebony looked at each other. Amber and the rest of the mallrats were surrounding them. "I said tell me the truth! Both of you!" Alicia yelled again. "About what?" Ebony asked nervously. "You tell me Ebony, or should I call you Mom." Alicia yelled. Everyone in the mall looked stunned. Ebony was terrified and Bray was looking at Amber and Jr. Amber was the first to break the silence. "Ebony," she began as she walked to her. " You weren't lying when you told me, were you?" "No." Ebony replied. "Told her what?" Alicia demanded. "That she and Bray had a child together." Amber said. The whole mall was surrounded by gasps and murmurs. "Amber I..." Bray cried. "Don't start. I have known for a long time. But I didn't think that Alicia was your daughter. Well, not Ebony's at least." Amber yelled. "You know her?" Trudy asked. "Yes, she was an Eco, until she left to find her parents." Ebony and Bray stared at each other again. "Say something!" Alicia cried. "I don't expect you to love me or even care, I just want to know why. Why you left me on the street." Everyone stared at Ebony, including Bray. "You left my daughter on the street?!" Bray was furious. "I didn't want you alright? I didn't love you and I never will!" Ebony yelled at Alicia. "Ok, then leave. I don't want to see you ever again!" Amber shouted. Ebony left the mall.
It was ten minutes until someone talked again. "I didn't even know." Bray cried. Amber was sitting with him rubbing his back. "I know, I know." Alicia was sitting across from Bray and Amber and the rest of the mallrats had gone to bed. Amber left, leaving Bray and Alicia alone. "Alicia," Bray began. " I never even knew your mother was pregnant." Alicia got up and sat beside him. "I know. I just want to belong. I want a family." Alicia sobbed. Bray held her in his arms. "You've found it. I will always love you Alicia, you are my daughter." Alicia looked up at Bray. "I love you too...Dad."
