PART 25<br>“That lying little bitch,” Isabel finally said. “How dare she tell us all lies…for years…Max, she has to be stopped,”<br><br>“She will Is, she will. We just have to figure out how,”<br><br>“I say we just go to her and just blow her up,” Michael said.<br><br>“And what about Khivar? You think he’s just going to let us go on our merry way? He killed us once, he obviously wants to do it again,” Max said.<br><br>“I think we need to surprise her,” I said.<br>Max turned to me.<br><br>“Do you have any suggestions on how? Can you read her from here?”<br><br>“I-I’ve never tried,”<br><br>“Do you mind? I think knowing what she has up her sleeve is the way to counterattack,” Max said.<br><br>I nodded and closed my eyes. I began thinking about Tess and beckoned her to my mind. It seemed like a few minutes had passed, but it was just a few seconds. I was in….I was hearing her talk to someone…their voice sent a chill down my spine and I knew it was Khivar.<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> ”This reunion is getting in the way of our true plans, Ava,” <br><br>“Oh Khivar, did you think you could just come to town and blow everyone of them up in the middle of the city? Give me a break, those times are long gone, get with it,”<br><br>“You better watch you tone Ava. Just because I need you does not mean I won’t kill you as well,”<br><br>“Then do it already. I am sick of living on this planet already,”<br><br>“Just watch yourself,”<br><br>“Or what? You’ll blow me up? I think not,”<br>I heard a scuffle and could feel Tess’ mind go into a panic. <br><br>“Like it or not Ava, I am your King and your soul mate, you better start respecting that,”<br><br>I could hear her gagging and the reflex in her mind was trying to search for air. Khivar was choking her.<br><br> “Le…I…”<br><br>“Yes? Oh…are you having a hard time?”<br><br>He relaxed his grip and she took in a few breaths, coughing and wheezing.<br><br>“Now, you better get going to that little party of yours…wouldn’t want the gang to get suspicious,”</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>I pulled out of her mind grabbing my own throat. I had been able to feel the desperation and fear in Tess. It was the way he had killed…the former me Elise back on Antar…he had choked me and then sent me flying out of the room with a blast.<br><br>“What happen? Did you do it?” Michael asked, kneeling to be eye level with me.<br><br>“Yes…he was trying to choke her…for copping an attitude with him,”<br><br>“She deserves it,” Isabel said. <br>        <br>“That’s how he killed me,” I stated quietly.<br><br>“Oh Liz…I’m sorry…I didn’t mean…”<br><br>“It’s ok Isabel…it’s been a rather rough night…”<br><br>        “what else did you hear?”<br><br>        “He sounds desperate to meet up with you all and he’s upset that the reunion is getting in the way of his plans,”<br><br>        “I don’t understand why he’s still after us?” Isabel asked, picking up the Destiny book.<br><br>        “He’s a power hungry prick,” Michael said.<br><br>        “Well he’s not getting us this time,” Max said.<br><br>        “We don’t even know how he’s going to strike Maxwell, we need to forget this reunion stuff and come up with some plans,”<br><br>        “No Michael, we can’t let him know we know he’s here. Tess said something about bringing a date to the Reunion Gala Saturday. I think they are going to try and make their move there,”<br><br>        “I can keep track of her with my mind,” I offered.<br><br>        “I think we need to all travel in twos. We need to be aware of where we are and who is around us for the next two days. Liz, I want you to promise me you won’t do your mind thing unless one of us is around,”<br><br>        “Max I can take care of myself,”<br><br>        “I know you can Liz…I just don’t want anything to happen that could have been prevented,”<br><br>        “I hate to say it Liz, but Maximillian is right,”<br><br>I sighed and agreed.<br><br>        “Ok, I’ll make sure someone is around,”<br><br>        “What about Alex and Maria?” Isabel asked.<br><br>        “And Kyle,” I added. “They may try to hurt anyone of them because of us,”<br><br>        “Michael and Isabel…you will have to tell Maria and Alex what is going on,”<br><br>        “I’ll tell Kyle,”<br><br>We all nodded in agreement. I stood up and grabbed the book and papers from the table.<br><br>        “We need to meet tomorrow, brainstorm and come up with some sort of plan,” Max said.<br><br>        “Where? If we all meet together somewhere, she may see us or he may,” I said.<br><br>        “We can meet outside of town…about 70 miles NE of here on US 70,” Michael said.<br><br>        “70 miles?” Isabel said.<br>        “In Elkins…there’s an old school house up there…we can meet there,”<br><br>We all looked at Michael like he was crazy. <br><br>        “What? I took some pictures up there…I am a photographer,” he continued.<br><br>        “You just always know how to amaze us.” Isabel said with a grin.<br><br>Michael shook his head. <br><br>        “You all better get going…and be back here in about 45 minutes,” I said glancing at my watch.<br><br>        “Right, pre-reunion reunion,” Max said.<br><br>Isabel and I crawled back into my bed room while the guys went down the fire escape. I walked her out of the house, she was going to go back and get Alex. Before leaving she turned to me.<br><br>        “Liz…was that really you? You came from Antar too?” she asked.<br><br>        “It seems like it,”<br><br>        “Are you scared?” <br><br>I looked into her eyes and knew she was terrified. As much as Isabel had wanted us to believe she was always in control, she was still part human.        <br>        <br>“I am…but I think all of us working together is good,”<br><br>        “I think so too. I’m glad you and Alex know,”<br><br>I nodded and she walked out to Michael’s car. I shut the door and turned to find my father standing there.<br> <p><center>*************<center><font color="DC143C">Roswell on Sci-Fi in 2003.</FONT><center><FONT COLOR="8B0000">Got it?</FONT><CENTER><FONT COLOR="00BFFF">Get it?</FONT><CENTER><FONT COLOR="DAA520">Good!</FONT><center><center><font color="DC143C">I think my muse is broke.</FONT><center><a href="http://blancadelic.com/quizzes/rosguyquiz.htm" target="new"><img src="http://blancadelic.com/quizzes/Max.jpg" border=0></a><br><a href="http://blancadelic.com/quizzes/rosguyquiz.htm" target="new">Find your Roswell match </a> at <a href="http://blancadelic.com" target="new">Blancadelic.com</a></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub84.ezboard.com/uroswellkitkat ... lkitkat</A>  <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://members.aol.com/anyasmiles/image ... enwave.gif" BORDER=0> at: 6/14/02 9:51:23 pm<br></i>

Thanks to all for the wonderful feedback! It really helps me continue to update!<br><br>Part 26<br><br>“Hi Dad,” <br><br>        “Liz. Was that Isabel Whitman?“<br><br>        “Yeah…she was in the area and wanted to stop and tell me some stuff about the reunion…something about the senior superlatives,” I said walking past my dad.<br><br>        “Is she coming back?” he asked eyeing me suspiciously.<br><br>        “Of course, she went to get Alex,”<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> Why do I feel Liz is hiding something</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br>        “I’m not,” I said.<br><br>His eyes opened wide and I realized it was a thought and not something he had said.<br><br>        “I didn’t say anything,” he said watching me for a reaction.<br><br>        “You didn’t have to, I can tell by your face,”<br><br> He relaxed and we both walked into he living room. <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> Still feel something isn’t right here, but I’ll let it go…for goodness sakes Parker, she’s 28, not 16</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> I chuckled to myself, I would always be daddy’s little girl.<br><br>        “I guess you need to get ready. Valenti is already here trying to pick at the snacks,”<br><br>        “I’ll be right down Dad,” I said hurrying down the hall to my bedroom.<br><br>        I couldn’t believe it. I was reading thoughts…and not just alien thoughts, but human thoughts…unless my dad was alien. Could that explain how I got to Earth? I thought about my childhood and if I could ever recall an instance where my dad had done anything out of the ordinary. Nothing came to mind, he and my mom where as normal as they came. Even Grandma Claudia in her outspoken way, was normal. So how could this essence of Elise have gotten into me? I hadn’t been found in the desert like Max, Isabel and Michael. And what of Tess? According to the book, she had not come with the rest of them, but I had seen 4 pods. The book would have mentioned more than my essence if I too had been a pod baby. And besides my mom had a scrapbook of her pregnancy of me, so I <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><b> knew</b><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> I wasn’t a pod child. So where had the fourth pod come from?         <br><br>I thought about this as I changed into a black a-line dress with red roses and matching strappy sandals with embroidered rose sequins. I couldn’t do much with my page haircut so I just shook it out and sprayed a bit of perfume. I looked into the mirror and approved of my appearance. <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> Not bad Parker, you clean up pretty good</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> I thought. I added a bit of lip gloss and headed downstairs to greet my guest.<br><br>Downstairs Kyle was sitting at the counter. When I approached him he gave me a once over and whistled.<br><br>“Hot damn Liz, you look great,” he said getting up and giving me a hug.<br><br>“Why thank you Kyle,”<br><br>“So when do we eat…I’m starved,”<br><br>I punched his arm and shook my head.<br><br>        “Such a ladies man,”<br><br>        “What? So I’m hungry,”<br><br>        “I think Javier will be bringing the food out shortly. I’ll be right back,”<br><br>I headed to the back and saw that they were just about to bring out the platters and trays of food.<br><br>        “Everything looks wonderful Mom,”<br><br>        “Thank your father and Javier…they did all the cooking,”<br><br>        “Thank you so much for helping at such short notice Javier,” I said giving him a big smile.<br><br>        “Anything for Lizzie Parker,” he said with a smile as he walked past me with a tray.<br><br>Javier had been here for many, many years. He had always called me Lizzie. I followed him out. Kyle immediately walked over to us, trying to grab a wing from the tray. I slapped his hand away.<br><br>        “Kyle at least wait until he puts it down,”<br><br>He sighed and waited until the tray was down and then dove in. The door jingled and in walked Maria and Michael. Maria immediately walked over to me and pulled me into the bathroom.<br><br>        “What the hell is going on? Michael came home and told me that their big enemy from space is back and Tess is working with him?”<br><br>        “It’s true,”<br><br>        “So what does this all mean? Are we going to have some alien showdown?”<br><br>        “Looks like it. It was him at your shop today,”<br><br>        “The customer with the black aura…” she stated.<br><br>I nodded. She reached into her evening bag and pulled out a vial, inhaling deeply.<br><br>        “I can’t believe this is happening,” <br><br>        “I know Maria, I’m sorry,”<br><br>        “Is it true you’re from there too?”<br><br>        “I think so,”<br><br>She shook her head and we heard a jingle of the front door. <br><br>        “Well tonight we party…tomorrow we plan to kick some bad alien ass,” she said.<br><br>I laughed and we walked out of the bathroom together. Alex and Isabel had arrived.<br><br>        “Welcome, welcome,” I said smiling.<br><br>Alex came over and gave Maria and I a peck on the cheek. He then whispered to me.<br><br>        “Is it true?”<br><br>I nodded. He shook his head and walked back over to Isabel. My dad came over to me.<br><br>        “Ok Liz, Javier and I are done here. The Crashdown is all yours, just holler if you need any help,”<br><br>        “Thanks dad. I’m sure we will be fine,”<br><br>He nodded in agreement and we walked into the backroom together. My dad headed upstairs. <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> Beware the fair one</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> began it’s chant and I knew Tess was on her way. To distract me I went to the cd player and placed a few cd’s that Alex had brought by earlier. Again by Lenny Kravitz came on. Alex had made several cd’s with songs from our senior year.<br><br>        “I love this song,” Isabel was saying when I walked back into the café.<br>She had grabbed a drink and was swaying her hips to the music. Maria was talking to Kyle and Michael was standing at the window, watching and waiting.<br><br>        “She’s on her way,” I said walking up behind him.<br><br>        “You promised to not-“<br><br>        “I didn’t, it was the voices. I think it is like a honing device…but only for her and Max,”<br><br>        “Does it hurt?”<br><br>        “Not really,”<br><br>        “How’s it feel to be part of the pod squad?”<br><br>I snickered.<br><br>        “Is that the official name?”<br><br>        “It rhymes, it works,”<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> Max is near</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> I was really getting use to the voices.<br><br>        “Max is on his way,”<br><br>Michael looked at me and shook his head. I shrugged my shoulders.<br><br>        “Can you…talk to him?”<br><br>        “Yeah…”<br><br>        “Ask him to look out for Tess...since she’s on the way too,”<br><br>        “Ok…”<br><br>I reached out to Max. <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> Max…can you hear me? Liz?I thought you said you wouldn’t- Michael is a foot away…Tess is on her way, so be careful. Thanks Liz. </i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br>        <br> “Did it work?” Michael was asking.<br><br>        “It did. Did I zone out?”<br>He shook his head no.<br>        <br> “It just looked like you were paying attention real hard,”<br>        <br> “Great something I can use during my teaching assistant reviews,”<br><br>Michael laughed and turned to face Maria who had snuck up on his other side, wrapping an arm around him.<br>        “You two plan on watching the windows all night?”<br><br>        “Just waiting for the wench to show up,” Michael said rather roughly.<br><br>        “Michael you have to promise to say and do nothing,” I said.<br><br>        “Don’t worry I won’t…I just can’t believe that bitch has been lying to us for years,”<br><br>        “She’ll get what’s coming to her,” Maria said pulling Michael away from the window.<br><br>I watched for a few more minutes and saw Max’s motorcycle pull up. A few seconds later I saw a cab pull up.

        I hurried away from the window and over to counter to grab a drink. Someone had brought our yearbook and Kyle and Alex were looking over it, making fun of each others pictures.<br>        “Kyle Valenti – super stud,” Alex said with a snicker.<br>        “Alex Whitman – super nerd,” Kyle shot back.<br>        “Yeah and at least I got a woman that loves me for my mind…what you got Kyle?” Alex chided.<br>        “Hey Pam is a nice girl,”<br>        “Pam Troy…gawd Kyle, didn’t you meet <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> anyone</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> in college?” Maria chimed in, poking Kyle in the ribs.<br>        “What is this pick on Valenti night?” he said with mock hurt in his voice.<br>The three of them laughed and continued to go through the yearbook. Shakira’s Whenever, Wherever began and Maria wiggled her way back to the deemed dance floor area. She began singing and beckoned Michael over, who shook his head no. She ended pulling him to the floor with her and danced around him as she continued to sing. Michael had grown red. I watched them and began laughing as Maria tried to get Michael to move in time to the beat. Soon Isabel was out there with Alex and for a moment I was able to forget the danger. <br>No sooner had I forgot than Tess walked in with Max. She was clinging to him and he looked uncomfortable. Tess immediately looked around for me and catching me staring was all she needed. She leaned even closer to him and purred. I couldn’t help it and before I knew it I was reading her thoughts. <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> Eat your heart out Parker.</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> I rolled my eyes, she was so lame.<br>Max brought her to the counter and Kyle smiled.<br>“Hey Tess, how have you been?” he said wrangling her into a bear hug.<br>She looked mortified as she struggled to release his grip.<br>“I’m great Kyle, how are you?”<br>“Just great, have my own business, built me a house…you know the things that make a man Grade A choice,”<br>“Give it up Valenti,” Alex hollered to Kyle.<br>And then I remembered Kyle didn’t know about Tess and the rest of the aliens. I had to make sure I kept an eye on him…otherwise she might try and get her clutches on him. And Kyle, who was eager to please all of his friends, would not know what hit him. I put a Cherry Coke in front if Tess, smiling,<br>        “Cherry Coke was always your favorite, right?” I said.<br>        “Yeah, thanks,”<br>        “So Max says you have a mystery date…you should have brought him,” <br>        “Oh…well I figured this would be just a high school friends thing,”<br>        “We would have loved to meet someone from outside of Roswell…I assume he isn’t from Roswell…”<br>        “N-no..he’s not from anywhere around here,”<br>        “Oh, what does he do?” I kept prodding.        <br>        “He’s an entrepreneur,”<br>        “From where?”<br>She gave me a look of disgust.<br>        “You sure are asking quite a few questions,”<br>        “Am I? I’m sorry, I didn’t think you’d care,”<br>Let Me blow Your Mind by Eve featuring Gwen Stefani came on and Isabel yanked Kyle to the floor. Kyle began grinding with Isabel much to my surprise. And he was good. I began egging them on and Tess just watched. I left the area behind the counter and came to stand beside Max.<br>        “Hey…” he said.<br>        “Hey,”<br>We watched the antics on the floor. Alex had jumped into the mix and Maria was singing into a rolled up napkin. I glanced at Tess and she looked bored.<br>        “All I can think about it how she isn’t even who she says she is,” Max said following my glance.<br>        “She is still that heartbroken queen on Antar,” I said quietly, looking away as she turned to stare at me.<br>        “Don’t tell me you feel sorry for her?” Max asked incredulously.<br>        “No…she hurt someone that wasn’t even part of this battle and who knows what she and Khivar plan to do,” <br>        There was more music and more laughing and it was fun. Maria sang to every song she could, dragging poor Michael to the floor at every chance. Tess finally was able to get Max to dance with her during one of the slower songs from our senior year, Fallin by Alicia Keys, which I found ironic. I was sitting at the counter with Kyle and we both spun our stools to watch the couples on the floor. Kyle was asking me something and I just nodded…watching Max and Tess I was taken back to Antar and their wedding day….<br>        <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> There was a band playing somewhere on a platform in the great hall and there in the middle of it all was King Zan and his bride, Ava . Max was in a formal Army uniform and Ava in a flowing white gown. They were dancing and she seemed to cling to him, trying to get Zan to just look at her. Instead his eyes kept creeping to a corner of the hall where Zephania was standing with his daughter Elise and Queen Arian. Zan could not help but watch Elise. Elise with dark flowing hair, bewitching chocolate eyes and the softest tan skin he could ever imagine. Elise whom he had promised his love to and now watched him dance with another. But she said she understood, said that it hurt her to see him with another, but it was for the good of the planet. He finally looked down at his bride, Ava. She was batting her lashes and trying to smile seductively. He sighed and smiled. Ava was beautiful, but she was not Elise. Ava did not care about the world around her or the people in it…she only cared for herself, her wants, her needs.<br>        “What is it that has my King in other place?” she asked quietly, studying the expression on Zan’s face.<br>        “Nothing my bride, nothing,” and with that he swing her around the floor until she was flush.</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>        “Liz, you aren’t even listening to me,” Kyle said giving me a punch to the arm.<br>        <br>“Of course I am Kyle,”<br>        <br>“You think they’ll get back together?” he said referring to the twosome on the floor.<br>I stared at him. He had to be told the truth.<br>        <br>“Tess and Max? Not in a million years,”<br>        <br>“So she’s free to date…maybe I ought-“<br>        <br>“Kyle, get the idea out of your head, Tess is damaged goods,” I said matter-of factly.<br>        <br>“I don’t care about that, Liz. I’m 28, been there done that,”<br>        <br>“Well you don’t want to go <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><b> there</b><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> with <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><b> that</b><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->, trust me,”<br><br>I hopped off the stool and went to the booth Michael and Maria had picked to rest their aching feet. They too were watching the Tess and Max dancing.<br><br>“Enough to make you sick isn’t it,” Maria said.<br><br>“I saw their wedding day,”<br>Michael looked at me and leaned in close.<br>        <br>“What do you mean you <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> saw</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> there wedding day?”<br>        <br>“As they started dancing I got this flash and the next thing I knew I was watching them on their wedding day,”<br>        <br>“Well did they look happy?” Maria asked,<br><br>I shook my head no as the song finally ended and Tess pulled Max over to our table. Kyle pulled up a chair as I slid over to accommodate everyone. Max quickly slid in beside me, Tess following suit. Alex dragged another chair over as Isabel sat beside Maria. Here we were just one big happy family. Or from the outside it would appear so. But appearances could be misleading as was evident from the curly haired blonde sitting amongst us.<br>        <br>“So Isabel, Maria, tell us what surprises are in store for us Saturday?” Max asked.<br><br>“If we told you they’d no longer be surprise Max,” Isabel responded with a shake of her long tresses.<br><br>“Come on Iz…you know <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><b> I</b><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> can’t stand surprises,” Michael said. “And Maria has not been forthcoming, no matter what I promise her,”<br><br>“Things never change…the girls always seem to have one up on us,” Alex said with a laugh.<br><br>“Well, we are the stronger sex,” I said.<br><br>“You believe that crap? What have they been feeding you up at Harvard?” Kyle said with a grin.<br><br>“Shall we have a little wager on who the stronger sex is?” Isabel chimed in.<br><br>“Yes, that sounds like a good idea,” Tess added.<br><br>“A wager? What kind of wager?” Michael asked.<br><br>“Shall we throw money in a pot?”<br><br>“How about 20 bucks each?” I said.<br><br>“And what will gage the stronger sex on? Something physical or mental?” Kyle questioned.<br><br>“Oh, both of course,”<br>The guys all began laughing. I put my eyebrow up.<br>        <br>“Why are you gentleman laughing?” Tess asked.<br>        <br>“Yes, what with the guffaws?” Maria added<br>        <br>“You really think that Maria here is stronger than me?” Michael said “She runs screaming from cockroaches,” he managed while wiping away tears that had formed in his eyes.<br>        <br>“Ok ,funny man, you watch your ass get beat by a girl,” <br>        <br>“This is so on,” Isabel said sliding out of the booth.<br>Tess followed and soon I was able to go into the backroom and get several easel boards my parents used for meeting and markers.<br>        <br>“Alright so what’s going to be the brawn part of the test?” Alex asked flexing his arms.<br>Isabel managed to punch him once and us girls snickered. <br>        <br>“Why don’t you all pick,”<br>        <br>“That confident are you?” Max said shaking his head.<br>        <br>“We are,” Maria managed gathering us into a small huddle.<br>        <br>“Ok, so we can win whatever they come up with right?” Tess asked looking from face to face.<br>        “Of course, poor Michael has no clue that I’ve been working with a personal trainer for the last 6 months,” Maria said with a snort.<br>        <br>“They are in for a whipping,” Isabel said with a huge grin<br>I stuck my head up and looked over at the guys. They too had huddled.<br>        <br>        “What do you think they will make us do?” Tess said looking at me.<br><br>        “Who knows…”<br><br>        “Ladies ready?” Michael hollered over to us.<br><br>        “Oh yeah,” we all said slapping hands.<br><br>        “What you got for us? Maria said hand on hips.<br><br>        “Pushups in 60 seconds,” Alex said.<br>        <br>        “You guys are on,” Isabel said, removing her sandals and stretching.<br><br>And so we started, each of us going against one of the guys for a full minute. The poor guys didn’t know what hit them. Maria pushed 7 past Michael, Isabel a full 10 pass Alex, Tess who we paired with Kyle beat him by 5 and I beat Max by 8. They couldn’t believe it.<br><br>        “This reminds me of gym class all over again,” Isabel said flexing her arms.<br>Alex rolled his eyes.<br>        <br>        “So Alex, how does it feel to be beat by a pregnant woman?” I chided.<br>        <br>“Shut up,” he said in disgust while we all laughed.<br><br>“What do you ladies have for us?” Max asked.<br>I looked at the girls and they all nodded.<br><br>        “All fifty states and capitals in 2 minutes,” I said.<br>        <br>        “Oh come on, the last time we needed to know that was for 4th grade,” Michael immediately piped in.<br>        <br>“So since none of us has been in 4th grade for quite a few years, it’s fair,” Tess said.<br><br>“Can we confer?” Alex asked.<br><br>“Yeah, you’ll need it,” Isabel said with a smirk.<br><br>“Ok men, can we do this?” Alex asked.<br><br>“I think maybe we should just forfeit...there is no way I’ getting more than like 10 states,” Michael said.<br><br>“Damn Michael, if we let them win this, we will <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><b> never</b><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> live it down,” Kyle said.<br><br>“I’m sorry guys, I’ll give it a try, but I can’t promise anything,”<br><br>“I think they have us beat,” Alex said.<br>Alex looked over at us and I smiled innocently and waved. He shook his head and went <br>back to the huddle.<br><br>        “They definitely have us beat,” he said with a shake of his head. “Your call Max,”<br><br>        “Michael…you don’t think you can get at least half?”<br><br>        “I’m a photographer,”<br><br>        “Alright, alright…we’ll forfeit,” Max conceded breaking the huddle.        <br><br>        “About time,” Tess said pretending to pick at her freshly manicured nails.<br><br>        “Yeah, well we decided to go easy on you girls,”<br><br>        “Give me a break, let’s just do this already,” I said.<br><br>        “We forfeit,” Kyle said quietly.<br><br>Isabel began laughing hysterically and soon all four of us couldn’t contain ourselves. The four men folded their arms against their chest and watched in horror as we laughed at their expense. <br>        <br>        “We are the champions,” we began to chant above the music.<br>The guys began to get their wallets out.<br><br>        “We’ll get you next time,” Kyle said handing Tess a twenty.<br><br>        “Promises, promises,” she sneered.<br><br>The night drew on and we all relived high school memories. And for a moment the 3 aliens excepted the fourth. All was forgotten as we remembered that before we were enemies we had been friends. <br>        <br>                                        <br> <p><center>*************<center><font color="DC143C">Roswell on Sci-Fi in 2003.</FONT><center><FONT COLOR="8B0000">Got it?</FONT><CENTER><FONT COLOR="00BFFF">Get it?</FONT><CENTER><FONT COLOR="DAA520">Good!</FONT><center><center><font color="DC143C">I think my muse is broke.</FONT><center><a href="http://blancadelic.com/quizzes/rosguyquiz.htm" target="new"><img src="http://blancadelic.com/quizzes/Max.jpg" border=0></a><br><a href="http://blancadelic.com/quizzes/rosguyquiz.htm" target="new">Find your Roswell match </a> at <a href="http://blancadelic.com" target="new">Blancadelic.com</a></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub84.ezboard.com/uroswellkitkat ... lkitkat</A>  <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://members.aol.com/anyasmiles/image ... enwave.gif" BORDER=0> at: 6/18/02 9:14:45 pm<br></i>

Part 28<br><br>        The party had ended at 2…after my father came in and told us it was getting late and him and my mother were ready for bed. Before he slipped away I had him take a picture of the eight of us. <br><br>        “This was a great idea Liz, thanks,” Isabel said hugging me.<br><br>        “It was a good time, thank you all for coming,” I said gathering plates and napkins.<br><br>        “Do you need help cleaning?” Maria asked.<br><br>        “No Kyle already offered his services,”<br><br>        “I did?” Kyle asked giving me a look.<br><br>        “Yes, silly,” I said returning the look.<br>He shrugged and began picking up some stray cups. I walked everyone to the door, exchanging hugs with Maria and Alex.<br><br>        “Be careful getting home everyone,” I said and locked the door.<br><br>        “So what’s up Liz? I know I <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> didn’t</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> volunteer for the cleanup crew,”<br><br>        “We need to talk Kyle,”<br><br>        “We do? What’s wrong Liz? You don’t look so good…are you pregnant?”<br><br>        “Oh God, no…I think we need to sit down for this,”<br><br>Kyle sat on a stool at the counter and I followed.<br><br>        “What the hell is going on Liz?”<br><br>        “Kyle, what I’m about to tell you is all true, it’s going to sound like a plot straight out of a blockbuster movie,”<br><br>        “Damn it Liz, tell me what the hell is going on?”<br><br>And so I began telling him.<br><br>        “Max, Tess, Isabel and Michael are aliens Kyle,”<br><br>I waited for it to sink in.<br>        <br>        “Aliens? From where? Are their green cards expiring?”<br><br>I shook my head, only Kyle would have assumed that, being from Roswell should have taught him better.<br><br>        “No Kyle, aliens from…” I pointed up.<br><br>He glanced at the ceiling and then I saw the light go off.<br><br>        “Are you telling me?”<br><br>        “Yes,”<br><br>He began laughing and I slapped his arm.<br><br>        “Ouch, what’d you do that for?”<br><br>        “This is serious Kyle. I’m telling you the truth,”<br><br>One look at my face told him I was not joking. I began telling him everything from the beginning. He was quiet and only interrupted to clarify what I was saying. When I was done he crossed his arms against his chest and just stared at me.<br>        <br>        “Say something,” I implored.<br><br>He took a deep breath and reached for my hand.<br><br>        “Thank you for caring enough about my safety to tell me,”<br><br>I smiled and let out a breath I didn’t know I had been holding. <br><br>        “Kyle, you are one of my best friends and seeing what happened to Blaise…I couldn’t bear seeing something like that happening to you,”<br><br>        “So this is what you meant by Tess being damaged goods?”<br><br>I laughed and shook my head.<br>        “Yeah, I didn’t want you to be sucked in by her…her wiles,”<br>        “When could I ever be taken down by a woman’s wiles?” he said laughing.<br>        “Oh of course, never, not Kyle “the stud” Valenti,” I mockingly added.<br>He snickered and then we fell quiet. I knew there was more he wanted to ask and I waited for it. As open-minded as Kyle has become with his study of Buddhism, this was all too much for <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> anyone</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> to handle.<br>        “So…you’re part of this alien foursome?”<br>        “It seems that way, a Councilor to the king,”<br>        “The king that is Max?”<br>        “Yes, but I don’t remember. These voices allow me to see things and hear things, but <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><b> I</b><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> don’t remember,”<br>        “Then how do you know this isn’t some trap?”<br>        “A trap?”<br>        “Yes, a trap, orchestrated by Tess and this Khivar to make you believe you are what you think you are?”<br>        “We never doubted it…I’ve been branded with this orb scar for 12 years…how would they know to brand <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> me</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->? How would they now I would keep silent for all this time?”<br>        “I don’t know Liz, it was just a thought. If you believe you are who you say you are…then I believe you too and I’ll be there tomorrow,”<br>        “If I wasn’t who I said I was could I do this?” I said waving my hand in the direction of the garbage can. The bag began to tie itself. I smirked as Kyle’s eyes opened wide.<br>        “Oh shit Liz…this is for real, real,”<br>        “Yeah, it is,”<br>        “How about I pick you up tomorrow morning and we drive together?”<br>        “Thank you Kyle, now you better get going…8 is going to come fast and furious,”<br>I walked him to the door. He hugged me and I was relieved.<br>        “Be careful Liz,” he whispered giving me a small peck on the forehead.<br>        “Good night Kyle,” <br>He stepped into the cool Roswell night and walked to his truck. What he didn’t notice was the Lincoln Continental parked across the street. The window slid down silently and Khivar blew out a puff of smoke, grinning. He had finally found Elise.<br> <p><center>*************<center><font color="DC143C">Roswell on Sci-Fi in 2003.</FONT><center><FONT COLOR="8B0000">Got it?</FONT><CENTER><FONT COLOR="00BFFF">Get it?</FONT><CENTER><FONT COLOR="DAA520">Good!</FONT><center><center><font color="DC143C">I think my muse is broke.</FONT><center><a href="http://blancadelic.com/quizzes/rosguyquiz.htm" target="new"><img src="http://blancadelic.com/quizzes/Max.jpg" border=0></a><br><a href="http://blancadelic.com/quizzes/rosguyquiz.htm" target="new">Find your Roswell match </a> at <a href="http://blancadelic.com" target="new">Blancadelic.com</a></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub84.ezboard.com/uroswellkitkat ... lkitkat</A>  <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://members.aol.com/anyasmiles/image ... enwave.gif" BORDER=0> at: 6/22/02 10:46:26 pm<br></i>

Part 29<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Tess was just settling down in her room when her cell phone began to ring. She groaned and rummaged through her purse, finally putting an end to the ringing.<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “It’s the middle of the night Khivar, don’t you ever sleep?”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Sleep is for humans,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Yes, well if in Rome do as the Romans do,’<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “You disappoint me Ava,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Did you call to insult me or was there another reason?”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I’ve warned you about your tone Ava,”<br>She gulped and reached for her neck.<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “My apologies Khivar,” she said quietly.<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Yes, you are much better when you are scared of me, as you should be. Now onto business, it seems I have found Elise,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “It can’t be…”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Oh but it is and she came equipped with her powers and all,” Khivar spat.<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Where...who,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “It seems you were right to hate this Liz Parker,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “No,” Tess cried. Elise was here on Earth? Elise, who had stolen Zan back on Antar. All this time she was here and she never even knew.<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Ava, dear Ava, I guess you aren’t as smart as I gave you credit for,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “How was I to know? Nacedo never said a thing,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Queen Arian made sure Zan would find the love of his life again,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “This can’t be happening,” Tess cried in frustration.<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “It’s happening, it’s just one more person for me to kill and there will be no one around to save them,” Khivar said with a laugh.<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Tess cringed. It seemed as time passed, Khivar had gotten more cold and calculating. Tess could only imagine it was because back on Antar Zan was hailed a martyr. Every year a new generation of Antarians fell in love with the story of Royal family of Antar. They all waited for the return of the true king, to wrong the rights that were done to the generations before.<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “So Saturday is definite?”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “It will be Gala to remember…those humans won’t ever forget the day they saw their classmates die,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Good night Khivar,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Sweet dreams, my dearest Ava, sweet dreams,” <br>Tess clicked the phone off and dropped it onto the dresser. Elise was Liz, Liz was Elise. All this time that was what she had hated about little Liz know-it-all Parker. Nothing she would have done would have made Max fall in love with her; his heart would always belong to the bitch. She flopped onto the bad, the pillow covering the sound of her sobs.<br><br>I tossed and turned restlessly. I kept hearing the voices, kept seeing visions. Finally after about 4 hours I got out of bed. I was nervous about what would go down today and possibly tomorrow. I thought of Kyle’s statement of everything being a trap. I think that was what most bothered me…the fact that having just been told Kyle was able to see a flaw with what I had believed whole heartedly. I dialed Max and he picked up on the first ring.<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Couldn’t sleep either?”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “No…did you?”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Not really…we don’t need much sleep anyway,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I told Kyle,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Oh…is he...ok?’<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Yeah…Kyle always surprises me, but in the end he always comes through,” <br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I was a little worried he might…he might try and get you to turn us in,” <br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Kyle? Why would you think that?”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I don’t know…I just always figured Kyle didn’t like me,” <br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Must be a testosterone thing, you guys have always gotten along,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Yeah we have…maybe it was just me,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Maybe…have you thought about what we are going to talk about today?”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “A little…I figure 7 heads will be better than one…do you need a ride?”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Kyle’s coming at 8,” <br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Oh, ok” he said.<br>I smiled, I could hear a slight hint of jealousy in his response. <br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Max, what do you think is going to happen tomorrow?” <br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I don’t know Liz. Do you think you could try to read Khivar?”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I- I could try,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “We’ll try it up in Elkins. Liz? Are you still there?”<br>I could hear Max calling out to me, but I was no longer able to respond. The voices were again taking me to another time. <br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> ”I am so sorry to hear about your father Baroness Elise,” Ava said after hearing about my father’s death.<br> “My father renounced his title your majesty, I am not a Baroness, but I do accept your condolences,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Khivar offers his condolences as well,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Khivar? Why would Khivar care if my father lived or died?”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Your father was a royal Councilor Elise, of course Khivar would be concerned,” <br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Khivar has made it quite clear he thinks my father is a phony, your Highness,”<br>Ava shrugged and fingered a trinket on the dresser. She stared in the mirror at Elise, smiling ever so gently.<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I would advise you to not follow in your father’s footsteps,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Or what? I might end up dead myself? You don’t fool me Ava,”<br>Her eyes grew hard and she turned to face Elise. “I would be careful with your tone Elise, you might find yourself outside the palace doors as a commoner,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “You don’t scare me Ava, now if you please, I need to prepare for the burial,”<br>She opened her mouth to speak and Elise waved a hand and Ava found herself in the corridor outside of Elise’s room.</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp When I returned to present day, Max was no longer on the phone. I redialed his number, knowing he was probably worried about my unannounced travel plans. <br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “What the hell happened Liz?”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I don’t know Max…these visions are coming more frequently,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Are you ok? What did you see?”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I’d rather not talk about it,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Are you sure?”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I’m sure Max. I’m going to go downstairs and get something to eat, drink some coffee,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Do you want company?”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I’ll be ok,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Call me if you need <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><b> anything</b><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> Liz,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I will Max, see you later,” I said pressing end. <br>I couldn’t understand why I had seen that particular vision. What was I being told? That Ava had always been evil? That I was a baroness? That I had powers? I thought about this as I showered and dressed. Heading downstairs, I found the Crashdown full of Friday morning regulars. <br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Morning Lizzie,” my father said eyeing me suspiciously.<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Morning dad,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I didn’t expect to see you up,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Couldn’t sleep…need any help?”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Yes, could you take these eggs to table 5, they’ve been ready for a few minutes and Georgina is taking her time,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Dad, she’s 65, give her a break,” I said taking the plate.<br>I walked towards table 5. As I approached the voice came loud and furious. <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> beware the fair one. Beware the fair one BEWARE THE FAIR ONE</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> I whipped my head around searching for Tess. I didn’t spot her quickly and placed the plate down at the table.<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Did you need anything else?” I said finally looking down at the customer.<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “No thank you Elise,”<br>My breath caught in my throat and the vision of my death pounded through my mind. Khivar smiled at me, happy I knew who he was. I backed away.<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “You-“ I managed.<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “It’s me…I’m impressed, even Vilondra couldn’t remember her own lover but you got it in one,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “What do you want?” I croaked out. My and were shaking and all I could think about was my parents just a few feet away.<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Don’t worry, they will live…it’s a pity you wont,” he said smiling.<br>I felt someone behind me and turned to see my father.<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Everything ok over here?”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Oh yes, excellent, I was just telling your daughter here what a great place this was,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Thank you, names Jeff Parker,” my father said sticking out his hand.<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Khivar Ian,” Khivar replied.<br>I immediately pushed myself into his mind. At first it was black and then I could hear his thoughts. <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><i> So nice to meet the man that will lose his daughter tomorrow. Poor human bastard. And look at Elise, standing her in awe of me. I can’t wait to place my hands around her neck and choke the life out of her, just like I did years ago.</i><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> All of a sudden I was shoved out. My father was gone and I was still standing there beside Khivar.<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “It’s not nice to invade people’s thoughts without asking,” he said. “Now sit dear Elise,”<br>I sat across from him. His eyes chilled me to my core. They were devoid of any feeling.<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “What do you want?”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Why to kill the royals yet again,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Why? They have no desire to return to Antar,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Do you expect me to believe the word of the King’s councilor? I am tired of the generations on Antar waiting for their rightful kings return,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “You should have thought about that before killing us all,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Us? <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><b> You</b><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> are not of royal blood,”<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Are you so sure?”<br>I saw a glimmer of doubt cross his face. His eyes grew small and he sneered.<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “You think you can scare me, child?”<br>I got up, realizing Khivar was not about to do anything here at the Crashdown. He was here to scare me, scare me cause he had finally found me. I had gotten all this from his mind before being forced out.<br>&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Scare you? No…but I would watch your back if I were you, you seem to think you are invincible. This is Earth, not Antar.” And with that I waved a hand over his eggs, leaving them burnt.<br> <p><center>*************<center><font color="DC143C">Roswell on Sci-Fi in 2003.</FONT><center><FONT COLOR="8B0000">Got it?</FONT><CENTER><FONT COLOR="00BFFF">Get it?</FONT><CENTER><FONT COLOR="DAA520">Good!</FONT><center><center><font color="DC143C">I think my muse is broke.</FONT><center><a href="http://blancadelic.com/quizzes/rosguyquiz.htm" target="new"><img src="http://blancadelic.com/quizzes/Max.jpg" border=0></a><br><a href="http://blancadelic.com/quizzes/rosguyquiz.htm" target="new">Find your Roswell match </a> at <a href="http://blancadelic.com" target="new">Blancadelic.com</a></p><i></i>
