Disclaimer: You know the drill…the characters aren’t mine Roswell and all characters belong to Jason Katims, 20th Century Fox etc. I’m just borrowing them. Rating: PG-13 – possibly to R Chapter Forty-Five – Deceptions and Delusions The first day back at school, after finding out she was officially married was a tough one for Liz. Not to mention the fact that she had to watch Tess practically glue herself to Max. It was either that, or possibly some type of alien morning sickness that made her want to throw up every time she saw Tess. The bell rang, and Liz slid through the door of study hall as the last echo of the ring faded away, earning her a look of reprimand from Mr. Seligman. “Sorry,” she said, walking past the desk and taking her seat. She opened her chemistry book, and notebook, and tried to study When the agent is added to the reactant, it’s properties will….. Liz’s eyes glazed over and her mind began to wander. Che’koth materialized in front of them as they assembled in front of the granolith. “Greetings Majesties,” he said, inclining his head slightly towards Max and Liz. Oh my God, Liz thought to herself in shock. He means me. I’m considered royalty now! She shook her head, and tried to focus on Che’koth’s words, while a small part of her brain tried to focus on her realization. “Our thinkers are unsure as to why the memory implants did not take. They hypothesize that when our enemies tampered with the embryos, some damage occurred. They have come up with a solution to this unforeseen difficulty, however.” “So like what are they going to get, the Cliff Notes version of Antarian history?” asked Kyle. “Something like that, my Lord, however, you all will be a part of this process.” “Uh, define the word process, would you?” asked Kyle, every alien abduction movie he had ever seen flashing through his mind. “If you will all take your positions around the granolith, the process can begin,” said Che’koth. “It is not a painful procedure, and after it is completed, you will understand so much more about our world, and your place in it.” As a seamless unit, they move to the places where they had stood the first time they activated the granolith. As soon as they were in place, a burst of orange light shot out from the granolith and enveloped them. Liz felt a surge of energy rush through her body. Her legs felt as if they could no longer hold her up, yet she didn’t topple to the floor. She remained standing, as though held by some unseen force. Suddenly, her mind was filled with images. Scene after scene flashed through her head, along with thousands of voices. Her head felt as though it was going to explode from all the information she was trying to process. Faster and faster the images poured into her head. She was unable to pick out any details, and yet she felt as though she had a complete grasp of everything that she saw. The images began to slow, and she saw Max. She knew it was Max, but it wasn’t. Zan, she thought. That must be Zan. She saw what her friends lives were like on Antar. She saw them growing up together, laughing, and playing and having fun, swimming in the ocean, and climbing trees. She saw them grow up, and assume adult roles, and she saw them die. She tried to scream. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out, or if it did, it was lost in the cacophony of voices she still heard in her head. Liz saw a beautiful woman emerge amid all the death and destruction, and she realized it was Max and Isabelle’s mother. She saw the scientists working frantically, trying to preserve the DNA of the four, to ensure that they would live again. The images began to speed up again, and Liz saw how the people of Antar lived since the death of King Zan. On the surface, life was normal, but they were the virtual prisoners of Kivar. An image of Max and Isabelle’s mother appeared again, only this time, she spoke to them directly. “My children. Che’koth has told me what has happened, and how you have no memory of our world. It is our hopes that after this procedure, you will know all there is to know of our world and our lives. I beg you, do not think of returning to Antar. It is not safe for you her. But do not worry for our safety, for the end is near. We are close to driving Kivar and his followers out of office, and when that happens, the royal house of Antar will again rule!” “Ms. Parker. Ms. Parker! Were you planning on attending your next class any time soon?” Liz heard a dry voice ask from a distance. She mentally shook herself from her reverie. “Oh, I’m sorry, Mr. Seligman. I was, uh, I was just studying,” stammered Liz. “Ms. Parker, I may not be ‘with it,’ but I am also not stupid,” said the science teacher. “You were no more studying, than I was. Now get your things together and move along to your next class. I’m certain your next teacher won’t be as understanding as I was.” “Yes, Mr. Seligman, I’m sorry Mr. Seligman,” said Liz, gathering her books. She rushed out into the hall, and joined the mass of students moving through the hall. Liz pushed on, trying to get to class, when a hand reached out and pulled her out of the crowd. “Hey, hey Lizzie, babe. How’s it hangin? You are lookin fine, babe. How about youse and I go play a game of tonsil hockey?” “Michael!” she cried. “What’s gotten into you? Let go of me, I’m going to be late for class.” Liz pulled her arm away from Michael, gave him a strange look and continued her journey up the hall. She was just about to walk into her English class when she heard her name being shouted down the hall. “Liz! Liz! Wait up a second, I want to talk to you.” She turned to find Michael waving to her, and pushing through the other students to get to her side. “Now what, Michael?” she asked wearily. “Are you here to challenge me to another game of, what did you call it, tonsil hockey?” “No, I, what?” he asked, in confusion. “Just a minute ago,” said Liz. “Down the hall, by Max’s locker, you pulled me out of the crowed and practically mauled me. Wait a second,” she said, her voice puzzled. “How did you get up here so fast, and when did you change clothes?” “Liz, are you alright?” asked Michael. “You’re talking kind of crazy. I was just down in shop class. I haven’t been near Max’s locker all morning.” “Michael, stop fooling around,” said Liz. “I just saw you down there, and you were wearing a West Roswell High sweat shirt.” “Liz, was last night too much for you or something,” he asked worriedly. “I don’t even own a West Roswell High shirt. You couldn’t have seen,” his voice trailed off. He looked around and spied Kyle running down the hall. “Valenti!” he called. “Get over here right now!” “No problem,” said Kyle. “Since it’s my class anyhow.” “I don’t care about that,” said Michael. “I think we have a problem. Stick with Liz. Don’t let her out of your site. I’m going to go check it out!” “What was that all about?” asked Kyle. “Liz, are you alright?” “Yeah,” she replied, her voice shaking a bit. “But I think I just had another run in with Rath.” <center>It all started with a boy, a girl, and a silver handprint.</center><center><a href=http://pub84.ezboard.com/bmajiklmoonsrealm><img src=http://members.aol.com/majiklmoon/image ... a></center>

Disclaimer: You know the drill…the characters aren’t mine Roswell and all characters belong to Jason Katims, 20th Century Fox etc. I’m just borrowing them. Rating: PG-13 – possibly to R Chapter Forty-Six 867-5309 Ava wrinkled her nose as she smoothed down the rather conservative shirt that Liz had loaned her. She tucked it into the jeans that Kyle’s father had bought her, and grimaced as she thought about how plain she looked. With a sigh, she slid of the counter in the bathroom she was hiding in, and looked around. It was pretty standard, as far as equipment went, but it had one point in its favor. The girl’s room at West Roswell High was about a hundred times cleaner than any of the public bathrooms back in New York City The bell rang, signaling the end of the period, and Ava waited, counting to ten. Taking a deep breath, she opened the door, and stepped out into the crowded hallway. “Tess! Hey, Tess, wait up!” she heard a voice behind her call out. She turned and waved a hand, but kept pressing on. After several minutes of prowling the unfamiliar hallways, she found what she was looking for. “Isabelle!” she called, doing her best to eliminate all traces of her New York accent from her voice. “Isabelle, can I talk to you for a second?” “What do you want, Tess?” Isabelle asked, unable to keep the coldness out of her voice. “Look, I really don’t have a lot of time, so why don’t you go hang all over Max, or something?” As she spoke, Isabelle allowed her eyes to wander over the students in the hallway, looking for something to distract her from the girl standing in front of her. Her eyes widened in shock, as she saw Max turn the corner and start waking down the hall, his arm around Tess, and a look of barely concealed disgust on his face. “Wha?” began Isabelle. “Ava?” she finished, incredulously. “Yeah, I got a message from Alex for you,” said the other girl. “Alex?” asked Isabelle. “Is he alright? I’ve been so worried about him.” “Relax, he’s fine. He called to give,” Ava stopped speaking as Isabelle grabbed her by the arm and began to drag her down the hallway. She shoved her into a janitor’s closet and whispered, “Wait for me here. And whatever you do, don’t come out. Max and Tess are on their way down the hall. I’ll be back in a few minutes.” She closed the door behind her without waiting for an answer and used her powers to lock the door. She ran down to her classroom. Just before she walked in the door, she used her powers to remove the make up from her face. When it was gone, she walked into the classroom and went directly to the teacher’s desk. “Ms. Johnson?” she asked. “Yes, Isabelle, what is it?” asked the teacher, not really looking up from the papers she was grading. “I’m not feeling very well, and I was wondering if I could have a pass to the nurse’s office.” Ms. Johnson looked up, prepared to turn down the request, when she saw Isabelle’s face.” “Of course Isabelle,” she said. “You are looking a bit pale. I hope it’s nothing serious.” “Oh, I don’t think so, Ms. Johnson,” said Isabelle, taking the pass the teacher offered. “I’m sure it’s just too many late nights studying, coupled with a bit of a cold. Thanks for the pass.” Isabelle quickly exited the classroom and made her way down to the janitor’s closet. Using her powers, she released the lock and opened the door. “Come on,” she whispered to Ava. “We can’t talk here. We can’t risk anybody seeing you and Tess in the same place.” “I know,” said Ava. “But I figured you’d want to get any messages from Alex ASAP.” “You’re right,” said Isabelle. “Come on, the bell’s about to ring. We can go sit in the library. Nobody will bother us there.” Isabelle and Ava climbed the staircase that led to the library. Ava hung back and allowed Isabelle to lead the way through the book filled room to the back, where the quiet study area was located. Isabelle pulled a chair out and was about to sit down, when she felt Ava nudge her from behind. “Look,” whispered Ava, pointing across the room. Isabelle looked up, and saw Liz sitting at a table, while Kyle hovered nervously above her. “Tell me one thing,” she whispered to Ava. “Is Alex okay? I mean, everything really is okay, right? You weren’t just saying that, were you?” “I promise you, Alex is fine, and just as weird as ever,” said Ava. “Why?” “We’d better go see what’s up with them, don’t you think?” said Isabelle, nodding in the direction of Kyle and Liz. A smile lit up Ava’s face when she saw Kyle, and the two girls crossed the room and sat down. “Hi Isabelle,” said Kyle. He slipped his arm around Ava and kissed her on the cheek. “Not that I’m NOT happy to see you,” he said. “But aren’t you taking a huge risk coming here dressed like Tess? How did you know anyhow? Did Michael call you?” “Wait a second,” interrupted Isabelle. “I’m confused. What was Michael supposed to tell us, and how did you know that it was Ava, anyhow. I thought she was Tess, until I saw Tess in the hallway with Max.” “It’s easy,” said Kyle, smugly. “Look at her ears. She has too many earrings in her ears. Tess only has one hole in each ear. Ava forgot to take out some earrings. Besides, “he continued, his voice softening, “Look at her eyes, they are so much softer, more innocent. Tess has that hard, I’m going to kill you in your sleep look. Oh and Michael is out looking for Rath, he’s somewhere in the school,” he added as an afterthought. “What!” Ava and Isabelle exclaimed in unison. “Yeah,” said Liz, who up till now had remained silent. “I thought it was Michael who grabbed me in the hall. He challenged me to a game of tonsil hockey, so I just blew him off and went to class. All of a sudden, there was Michael again, coming from the opposite direction. I told him what happened, and he figured it out that it was Rath right away. I can’t believe I didn’t think of it myself, what a spazz. Anyway, he grabbed Kyle for babysitting duty, and went to try and figure out what’s going on.” “Have you told Max yet?” asked Isabelle “No, I didn’t get a chance,” said Liz. “Kyle dragged me up here, right away. “Um, Liz, not to state the obvious,” said Isabelle gently. “But you and Max do have that whole alien baby induced telepathy thing going on, remember?” “Oh, God,” said Liz, burying her head in her hands. “I am so stupid today. What is wrong with me?” “N’ah, you’re not stupid, Liz,” said Ava, rubbing Liz’s back gently. “Bumpin into Rath like that just freaked you out, not to mention everything else that’s been goin on. Why don’t you try it now.” Liz closed her eyes, and concentrated intently. Several seconds later, she opened her eyes and glared at her friends. “This would probably work a lot better if you all weren’t staring at me,” she snapped. She waited until the all moved several feet away, and tried again. After several minutes, she opened her eyes, a look of dejection on her face. “It’s no good,” she said. “It didn’t work.” “Well, maybe the baby has to be awake or something,” said Kyle, leaning towards her stomach. “Hey, Junior! Wake up in there. Mommy has to make a phone call.” “God, you are such a loser, Kyle,” laughed Liz, pushing him away. “Don’t worry about it,” said Isabelle. “I’ll find him.” She paused and looked at her watch. “Class is just about over. Where are you guys going to be?” “I have got Spanish,” said Kyle, the look on his face clearly conveying his opinion of that subject. “And I’ve got history,” added Liz. “Do you think it would be okay if I hung out in here?” asked Ava, her eyes scanning the rows of books hungrily. “Perfect,” said Isabelle. “And Ava, if one of us doesn’t get back here before 2:45, meet me in the student parking lot, over by the cafeteria. Liz, what was Michael wearing today?” “I don’t remember,” said Liz. “Typical fashions by Michael, I would guess, but Rath was wearing a West Roswell High sweatshirt.” “Thanks,” said Isabelle as the bell rang. “Now I know who to avoid.” “Isabelle wait,” said Ava. “That message from Alex…he called and said he picked up one of those cell phones where buy the minutes month by month, and he wanted to give you the number.” “Thanks Ava. What is it?” asked Isabelle, her eyes alight with joy. “Well, it was kind of weird, he said when you called, to say it was Jenny, and the number was 867-5309. Does that make any sense to you at all?” “Yes,” groaned Isabelle, thinking of the old 80’s song. “Alex being Alex, it makes perfect sense. Thanks again, Ava. Are you ready Liz?” She and Liz walked to the door and waited while Kyle said goodbye to Ava. After he joined them, the three left the library. Kyle walked Liz to class, while Isabelle went in search of her brother. She walked into the student lounge and looked around, and froze. Walking out the door, she saw Maria walking arm in arm, with Michael, a Michael that was wearing a West Roswell High sweatshirt. <center>It all started with a boy, a girl, and a silver handprint.</center><center><a href=http://pub84.ezboard.com/bmajiklmoonsrealm><img src=http://members.aol.com/majiklmoon/image ... a></center>

Disclaimer: You know the drill…the characters aren’t mine Roswell and all characters belong to Jason Katims, 20th Century Fox etc. I’m just borrowing them. Rating: PG-13 – possibly to R Chapter Forty-Seven Blaze of Glory “Yo, Maria-babe, you are looking hot today,” said Rath, slapping Maria on the ass as she walked down the crowded hallway. “Michael,” Maria whispered. “What are you doing?” She looked around, hoping nobody had noticed Michael’s stunt. “Whaddya mean, what am I doin? Can’t I get some lovin from my woman before I head back to the salt mines?” “Um, yeah, sure,” said Maria, looking at him closely. She paused as her mind worked feverishly, putting pieces together. Suddenly, everything clicked into place. She slipped her arm through Rath’s and began to lead him down the corridor towards a door that lead outside. “I thought we’d agreed to keep it low key here at school. You said the public displays of affection were bad for your image.” “Yeah, I know,” said Rath, trying to grin engagingly. “But you looked so hot, I couldn’t control myself.” “Well, I’ll tell you what,” said Maria, snuggling up to him seductively. “Why don’t we take a walk down behind the bleachers on the football field, and we can, ah, talk or something.” “Righteous, Maria-babe,” said Rath, his hand sliding down to cup her behind. Maria forced herself not to shudder and continued walking down the hall. “Maria! Maria!” a voice called. Maria turned, and saw Isabelle calling and waving at her. Maria turned away, and smiled at Rath. “Ignore her,” she said. “I try to, as much as possible. She’s such a bitch.” “Yeah, she’s really been comin down on you, hasn’t she?” agreed Rath. “Screw her, let’s get goin.” Maria smiled to herself; Rath just buried himself with that statement. He proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he wasn’t Michael. As mad as he may get with Isabelle, Michael was intensely loyal to her, and to Max. The two walked across the school grounds and down to the football field. Maria looked around before she slipped under the bleachers. She picked her way across the trash-strewn ground, with Rath right behind her. “Oh, this is just so disgusting,” she said, kicking a half eaten hotdog. Maybe this wasn’t such a great idea.” “I think it was a perfect idea,” said Rath, pulling her close. He pressed his lips against hers, and thrust his tongue into her mouth. Maria choked back a gag, and tried to return the assault on her mouth that he called a kiss. “What about Tess?” Rath asked when he paused for a breath. “You must be pretty pissed at her for bein with Max. I mean with you and Liz bein so tight and all.” “Well, maybe a little, at first,” said Maria. “But after all, they’re supposed to be together, it’s their destiny, right?” “But if you believe that, then that means me and Isabelle belong together,” said Rath. “No, silly,” said Maria, trying to make her voice flirtatious. “We belong together. That’s different.” “No it ain’t babe,” said Rath, morphing from his Michael face, back to his regular pierced self. “And I ain’t lettin’ you, or any of your stupid redneck friends stop us from goin home. You are one hot chic, Maria, but it’s over for you. This is the end of the line, it’s time for you to check out.” “I don’t think so, you bastard,” said Maria, her voice grim. “It’s time for you to check out.” She pressed her hand against his chest and blasted him with a bolt of energy. Rath flew backward, and landed against one of the steel girders that supported the bleachers. “Oh my God,” said Maria. “What did I just do?” She turned to run, and found herself wrapped in a pair of arms. “Maria, Maria, it’s okay, it’s me,” said Michael, holding her tightly. “It’s okay, I’m here. I’ve got you.” “I killed him, I killed him,” she sobbed. “Maria, stop it,” said Michael. “You had to do it. He was going to kill you. You did what you had to do to save yourself.” “Maria! Michael!” called Max as he ran under the bleachers. “What happened? Maria, are you okay? Isabelle told me she saw you leaving with Rath. Did he hurt you?” “H-he was going to kill me,” sobbed Maria. “He s-said that we were standing in his way, preventing him from going home. I k-killed him. Me, I did this,” she cried, pointing to Rath’s body. “Okay, here’s what we’re going to do,” said Max. “I want you to go find Kyle, and Ava, and get my Jeep and bring it as close to here as possible. I’m going to heal him, and we’re going to get him out of here.” “Heal him!” shouted Michael. “Are you whacked, Max? That bastard tried to kill Maria.” “I know that,” said Max, trying to remain patient. “But think about what’s going to happen if anybody finds the dead body of Michael Guerin. Don’t you think that will cause a bit of confusion, especially when they see you walking around.” “You’re right,” admitted Michael. “I didn’t think of that. We’ll go get Kyle and Ava.” “Never mind,” said Max. “They’re on their way, and Isabelle and Liz are with them.” “What? How?” asked Maria, coming out of her reverie. “Baby bonding thing,” said Max. “Liz said she’d been trying to contact me all day, but it wasn’t working. It finally kicked in after I came down here.” He knelt down beside Rath’s body and placed his hand over the wound in Rath’s chest. He concentrated, and a silver glow emanated from his hand. After several minutes, Rath tried to sit up, but was restrained by Michael. “I don’t think so, you son of a bitch,” said Michael. “We have other plans for you.” Rath struggled to get away, but was unable to free himself from Michael’s grasp. “Max, Michael, where are you guys?” Kyle whispered from behind the bleachers. “Here, underneath,” said Max. “Is Ava with you?” “Yeah, hang on, we’re coming,” said Kyle. He climbed under the bleachers and held out a hand to help Ava. The two joined Michael, Max, and Maria, followed by Isabelle and Liz. “Ava, I want you to try and mind warp him,” Max whispered, so that Rath couldn’t here him. “Plant some false memories of today in him. Can you do that?” “I think so,” said Ava, her voice betraying her nervousness. She closed her eyes and concentrated, filling Rath’s head with a few meaningless, chance encounters with Max, and Isabelle. “Okay,” she said. “I think I’ve got it. Ask him about lunch?” “Rath, what happened at lunch today?” asked Max. “Nothin much,” said Rath. “But the food really sucks here, and I saw Max’s ex bitch Liz cryin at a table by herself.” “Perfect,” said Ava. “I figured Tess would get a kick out of hearing that.” “Now, we have to dump him somewhere,” said Max. “Any suggestions.” “Wait a second,” said Isabelle. She used her powers to shorten her hair, and change her appearance to resemble Lonnie. “Yo, lover, what’s the plan for tonight?” she asked. “You and me are supposed to wait for Tess back at the hotel,” answered Rath. “Man, I am so sick of that bitch always tellin’ us what to do. She needs to get over herself in a big way.” “Ava, can you wipe that from his mind?” asked Isabelle as she changed back to her normal appearance. “Yeah, I can do that,” said Ava, her voice more confident. “Why don’t I ride out with Kyle and Max, and take care of everything at once?” “Come on,” Kyle said to Michael. “Let’s get this piece of trash out to the Jeep.” “Okay,” said Michael, turning to where Maria stood with Liz. “Maria, do you want to walk with us, or stay here with Liz?” “I’m coming with you,” she said softly. She started to walk away, but Liz pulled her back and hugged her tightly. The two girls clung to each other for a minute, and then Maria pulled away, to follow Michael out into the bright sunshine. “Max, I was so scared,” said Liz, once the others had left. “I tried and tried to contact you all day, but it didn’t work, and then all of a sudden, I was there, inside your head, and I could see everything. I could see Maria and Michael, and Rath lying on the ground dead. I didn’t know what had happened.” “We’ll figure it out Liz, all of it. Remember, we’re supposed to be able to contact each other for the safety of the baby. Maybe because I wasn’t in any real danger today, it wouldn’t work. Maybe it’s triggered by an increase in adrenalin or something. And when I found Michael and Maria here with Rath, that sent my adrenalin levels skyrocketing, and in turn, turned on the internal walkie talkies.” “I don’t know,” said Liz, stepping into his embrace. “But we need to know more about how it works. We’ll have to ask Che’koth. But this isn’t the time. You need to get going, and I want to go and talk to Maria some more. She’s trying to be strong, but inside, she’s falling apart.” “I love you Liz,” said Max. “Stick close to Michael and Isabelle for now, will you? Something just isn’t feeling right about this whole thing.” “Will I see you tonight?” she asked as the two climbed out from beneath the bleachers. “I’m supposed to meet Tess at the library to study,” said Max, but I’ll come by your room after that.” The two walked over to where the others waited around the Jeep. Max kissed Liz goodbye and climbed into the Jeep. She watched as the Jeep drove out of sight, and turned to Michael. “Why don’t you take Maria back to your place,” she said. “Isabelle and I will pick up some food and meet you there in about an hour and a half.” She turned to Isabelle. “Does that sound okay with you?” “Yeah, said Isabelle,” smiling at the smaller girl’s sensitivity. Her plan gave Michael and Maria some much needed time alone. “We’ll go to Senor Chow’s for take out. Does that sound good?” Without waiting for an answer, she continued. “And I’ve got a number where we can call Alex safely. We can all talk to him tonight!” “Thanks guys,” said Michael softly as the four walked over to the Jetta. “Watch your backs, and watch each other, and we’ll see you in a while.” Michael helped Maria into the passenger seat in a gesture of unexpected gallantry, and crossed the front of the car and slid into the drivers seat. As he pulled away, Isabelle and Liz climbed into Kyle’s Mustang. “You heard from Alex?” Liz asked as Isabelle started the car. “No, actually, he got a hold of Ava and left me a message. He bought one of those prepaid cell phones so I can talk to him, and Alex, being Alex, you’ll never guess what the number is.” “What,” said Liz, a smile forming on her lips. “867-5309,” said Isabelle with a laugh. “And I’m supposed to be Jenny.” “Oh, no,” groaned Liz in between giggles. “That is so Alex.” “Yeah it is,” said Isabelle, softly. “It really really is.” <center>It all started with a boy, a girl, and a silver handprint.</center><center><a href=http://pub84.ezboard.com/bmajiklmoonsrealm><img src=http://members.aol.com/majiklmoon/image ... a></center>

Yeah, too bad he had to be brought back to life! What a jerk! I liked him better dead. But maybe he can help them without knowing he's doing it, of course, to find out what's up. Great part, as always! Maria got da power! Go Maria! <div style="text-align:center"><img src="http://users.aol.com/isndbreeze/skysymb ...
