Tess was not having a good day. As far as she could tell no one had ever heard of Ray White. That redheaded witch must’ve erased their memory of him being here Tess looked around, then she spotted the jock that had been ‘Ray’s” roommate. Time for a little finesse she thought as she walked over to the guy. He seemed a little nervous as she approached. “What do you want?”
“Hey I just wanted to talk. Are you okay?”
“I’ve just been having some really weird dreams lately.” The jock said.
Tess perked up. Maybe he had a clue as to what was going on. She concentrated on the jock “Why don’t we go have a coffee and you can tell me all about them?”
“Sure why not?”

Kat slowly opened her eyes. She rolled over and looked at her clock. Oh Shit! I’m running late already! Great way to start a new school girl. She thought as she jumped up to run into the shower. She finished in record time and was out the door in about twenty minutes. As she closed her door, she stopped dead in her tracks. Michael and Maria were leaving hid apartment. “Hmm” Kat coughed. The new lovers both jumped and looked over their shoulder guiltily. “Jeez, Little Bit, could you not freak us out like that. I thought for sure that it was Max or Isabel here to get into it.”
“No, I kinda yelled at them last night, BB. So how was your night?” Kat teased.
“Last night was everything it should have been, “ Maria piped in, “However, I could use a little wardrobe change, and I don’t have time to get home, plus Spaceboy here is no good at female fashion so could you?” Maria waved her hand down her clothes.
“No problem,” Kat replied as she waved her hand and changed Maria’s clothes for her.
“How did you know what to put her in?” Michael asked, looking appreciatively at the tanktop and skirt his girlfriend was now wearing.
“It seemed right.” Kat replied. “So I’m heading to school, you two?”
“Yep” Michael grunted in replied.
“So why don’t we all take my car, as opposed to taking two vehicles from here?” Maria asked, as the three teenagers walked out of the apartment complex.
“Sounds good to me.” Kat answered, sneaking a look at Michael.”
“Whatever, Little Bit,” Michael grunted, as he got in the car.
“Still the same, BB.” Kat said, getting into the back.
“Okay that it, Maria said as she went to start the car. “What is up with the Little Bit and BB thing?”
“It’s what we used to call each other in our other life Pixie,” Michael replied, without thinking about it.
“Oh, “ Maria started the car when she realized what exactly that statement meant. “OH!! You’re remembering things from Antar then?” Relax girl, Destiny does not exist. He might be remembering things from Antar, but he is yours down here, not Isabel
Got that right Pixie and you might want to make sure you don’t send any private thoughts of yours out over the airwaves.
Okay what the heck are you two talking about? What Destiny? Kat asked clearly confused.
You don’t know about the Destiny message? Does that mean it’s not real?
I knew it; She was never my Destiny
That would probably be the logical explanation. But what about the pictures of Max and Tess and Isabel and Michael together?
Are we really all that surprised that Destiny doesn’t exist. I mean look at the source. Tess or probably Nasedo put those pictures in there.
Oh yeah I forgot to tell you that last night, we got sidetracked. The pictures at in the book had been altered and it will blow your minds when you find out who was there originally.
Next time I ask a question, remind me that I am going to get bombarded K? Good morning all.
By that time everyone had arrived at the school. Four of the eight teenagers were a little apphrensive as Michael and Maria approached them. Max, Liz, Isabel and Alex knew they all had apologizes to make at some point during the day, but they wanted them to be private.
Maria broke the silence, “Good morning all!” she said with more than her usual vibrancy. Looking at Liz, she added. “If there is a slim possibility that my mom asked where I was last night, I was with you.”
“Okay” Liz asked, while holding off asking any questions for later. They all headed into the school to start the day off next.
Unknown to the eight teenagers, their meeting had not gone unnoticed. The blonde in the newer model SUV sat watching them. Shit this is not good! I knew it1 Wait till I get my hands on Miss “I have everything under control So much for Future Max,” she grumbled as she started the car. She picked up her phone and hit speed dial. It was time to split Hicksville.
*************************************
Tess was mad! She had spent the last hour with a guy who could only ramble on about beautiful women turning him into a sex object. He must really have pissed Isabel off! She had then decided to mind warp her way into the computer lab to see if Alex had left any trace material in the system, but she couldn’t find anything. Well Geek boy cover his tracks really well. God there is nothing here but dead ends. Great! Damnit that puts us back at square one again. We NEED to know what they freaking book says. Tess was interrupted when her cell off.
“What?”
“Well Rowena has made contact with the Royal Four, and by the looks of things, they believe she is who she says she is. Time to split Blondie.”
“Well get your ass out of town. However, I suggest you get my school records, and meet me in Albuquerque. There’s nothing left here either.”
“Nice to know you have everything under control Blondie,” was the sarcastic reply.
“Oh shut up! We have to explain things to Kivar and we better make it damn good or else Nicholas is going to kill us.”
“You maybe, but I have Nicky boy right were I want him. Same place I had him in New York. Sex is a very powerful weapon, no matter what planet you’re on. “
Tess grinned, “As we both well know. All right you handle Nicholas, I will handle Kivar, and it’s not like they have the second half of the prophecy. Zan hide that and go only knows were it is. Too bad you had to kill him.”
“Well he wouldn’t tell me were the damn book was, plus he wouldn’t go to the Summit. The book is somewhere in the sewers of New York.”
“True, but you had years to find it and you didn’t.”
“We will get it. The others have probably booked out of there long ago. Not a problem. You worry to much.”
“Save it, we can hash everything out later. Just meet me in Albuquerque Ava.
************************************
Meanwhile on Antar things were progressing a little more smoothly.
“Everything has been prepared milord.”
“Good, I want nothing to delay our departure, Larek”
“I understand, the tablets have been loaded. Our operatives are in place. All we need to do is launch.”
“When?”
“Our operatives are inside the monitoring station. All I have to do is give the word and they will cause a disruption so that we can slip out undetected.”
“Very well, I will inform the ladies.” Tyro finished. He could feel the air getting to him. He leaned up against the wall.
“milord?” Larek questioned.
“It is the air Larek, It does not agree with my new human DNA.”
“I still do not understand why the three of you decided to go through with that particular procedure.”
“Is worth it to be with our children yet again, Larek. You are not a parent, you cannot understand that there is no sacrifice to great to be with your children, especially with what they all will face.” Tyro replied. He got up and walked into the temple. Selra was waiting for him.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes it is only a minor atmospheric difference. If I thought the humans would not react negatively to us.”
“You would never have suggested we incorporate human DNA into our bodies. Relax General. I as well as Selra know why you did it. You are the protector. Even though you had passed your duties onto your son and daughter, it does not change who you are.”
“How is it you know me so well my wife?’
“Because you are the other half of my soul?” Selra answered as Tyro leaned in to kiss her. Even though they had been married for more years then they could count both of them felt the familiar passion flare up between them.
Zanda walked around the corner. She looked at her the couple and smiled. “I am sorry for interrupting, but I have news. You can have time alone aboard the ship.”
Selra and Tyro looked up at her. “Of course my Queen,”
“Sel you never change do you?”
“Would you want me to?”
“Not really.”
“What news do you have Zan?”
*************************************
“This is not going work, they are more likely to shoot first and ask questions later, especially after the Summit man!” Rath exclaimed “And the mind games we played on them.”
“Yes it will, Why wouldn’t it?
“Oh because we, me and Lonnie killed Zan?”
“As far as they know yeah, but it’s not like you actually did do that Ra. That was Ava.”
“Thanks Ro, but I don’t think it’s gonna matter to them much.”
Rath and Rowena walked to the passenger side. As they walked by Rath changed the license plate to New Mexico plates. Rowena changed the colour of the car to red.
“What is it with you and red Ro?” Lonnie asked from the back seat, after Rath had climbed in. He put his arms around her. They both knew that this was going to be bad before it was good, but they had to go for it, especially now that Rowena had said she had a feeling they knew the truth. They never doubted her feelings especially after the entire Summit incident. They all had a part in hiding Rowena from Ava for the last ten years.
“It matches the hair babe?” Rowena replied from the passenger seat.
“Doesn’t matter what happen last time you hooked up with the cornballs. I will make them listen. I am not dead no thanks to the Blonde Bitch” Zan said as he turned the car on. The New York Four headed out of the city, for a little town in new Mexico.
*************************************
“Serena has sent a commutation. She has managed to take out the Skins after the traitor faked their demise in Roswell. But in order to do so, she had to leave her Rowena, the one know as Katherine alone. This happened six months ago. Just recently Katherine has let herself be know to the others in her set, Michael, Max and Isabel, I believe. It seemed the traitor was mindwarping on of their human into doing translating their part of the prophecy. Your daughter put a stop to that. Apparently this human, Alex, is very important to my daughter.” Zanda told them as they down into the depths of the temple. They reached a door, and she waved her hand in front of it. Inside, carved into the planet of Antar was a launch bay. One that was known to the royal family and it’s most trusted advisors. A ship waiting to be launched. The three who just walked in did not comment on the last time they had been in this room. It had been 50 years ago. When they sent their children’s essences to an unknown and uncertain future.They were silent as they boarded the ship. It was all set to go. All of a sudden he door open a second time.
“Larek, what are you doing?”
“Very thing is set your Highness, and I can not stay behind. As I no longer sit on the counsel I am not needed here. There are others to carry on in my place. I am coming with you. As an added bonus, if Kivar does pick up on anything, he will assume I am going to your son.”
“But what about having the procedure?”
The doctor says I can inject myself with human DNA after we land on earth, like Serena did.”
“You miss her very much, don’t you?”
“Yes, Lady Selra, but as she told me long ago, when she infiltrated the skins to take your daughters down to earth, It needed to be done by someone whose loyalty was unquestionable. Plus I did promise her I would see her again.”
“Very well, I can understand what it is to miss the other half of your soul.” Zanda replied, getting a far away look in her eyes. The others in the room remained silent to give her a few minutes with the memories of her husband.
“Vilon would be proud of you.” Tyro broke the silence.
“I know. I just hope we can do what needs to be done.”
“What of the other four?” Selra said, knowing her best friend needed to leave the past and return to the present
“They are on their way to Roswell. As is Serena, however we will need to let her know when we get closer to Earth, so she can find a suitable landing site for us. No crashing this time.”
“I can handle that if she is in Roswell. One thing I did learn from the Summit is that my human host know lives their.”
“Okay then, we have things to do, Ladies, if you will go find your seats. Larek you can help me launch.” Tyro said leaving them to go into the cockpit.
“So are you nervous?” Selra asked as they sat down.
“About space travel? Not for a long time.”
“Not about that”
“Yes, how do you explain our actions and then that message Kivar made me record?”
“I did that in the message I sent with Serena. Remember that Zanda. I just hope our very stubborn and headstrong children give us a chance to explain things to them.”
“Oh we will just make them, After all they did get to be headstrong and stubborn from us after all.” Zanda replied with a chuckle. Soon both here and Selra were laughing as they recalled some of the escapades that Zan, Vilandra, Rath and Rowena had gotten into growing up. After a while they calmed down and relaxed. Soon, Tyro joined them.
“So far, so good.” He answered the unspoken question. “There was a moment when we were leaving Antar that we were stopped, but Larek covered by saying he was returning home.”
“So that is all then. Antar is behind us. So all that is left is our Destiny is what we make of it.”
All three were quite and then they spoke as one
“Four shall become Eight
To become Twelve
To save the two planets
When twelve become four
Can the powers be harnessed
To save the two planets.”
More?
and that's the only hint you get...
So I hope you enjoy...
…I couldn’t just leave it without raising more questions…now could I
