Chapter 28 B
Sometimes I can go into people’s heads when they’re sleeping. Isabel remembered saying that to Tess when Agent Pierce captured her brother.
And you can communicate with him? Tess asked if she could communicate with people while she dream walked. However, Isabel remembered she taps into their subconscious.
Maybe if she tried, she could tap into the Alex part of his brain and somehow override the part Kivar had inhibited.
Closing her eyes she concentrated on Alex, ignoring Kivar who was using Alex’s voice to coax a reply.
Isabel, Alex replied, his voice so faint and distant but it was enough to
risk her life in order to free Alex.
“I’ll go with you only if you stay away form my friends and not to harm Alex, anymore.”
Kivar smiled, “Okay but I can’t guarantee that your friends will stay away from me. In which I will have to defend myself,” He glanced over at Tess, who was still in her fragile foetal position. “I just have to deal with a traitor first,”

Something inside Liz was hungry to fight. She couldn’t ignore the feelings inside her. The feelings were instinctive: go! Get inside! Save Max!
It seemed so surreal, running for her life down Kyle’s street while many other people were going on their daily business. Mrs Thistle, a family friend waved as Liz ran by. She was almost out of breath but she could hear Isabel’s screams everywhere.
Why can’t anybody else hear them?
“Hang on soldier,” Serena’s perky voice was behind her just as Liz made it through Kyle’s drive way. She turned her head back in annoyance, only to find, not only Kal Langley but also Larek in the form of Brodie Davis.
“I thought I’d bring enforcements.” Serena was still wearing the royal blue and yellow cheerleader’s outfit. She looked flushed but her wild cherry hair and blue silver eyes were fierce. Kal was in his black business suit while Brodie was wearing flannel shirt and jeans. “ Don’t worry humans can’t hear the commotion going on inside...” he said, pointing to Kyle’s house.
Liz shrugged, “Well, let’s go,”
A shield erupted in front of Liz’s body but Liz waved her hand through the pink mist, watching as the shield broke away like a membrane and disappear.
“We know Kivar’s power. Despite being in human form he can tap into the other ninety percent of the brain that’s not being used to defend himself. He is the most powerful and feared warrior known.” Larek said in his usual distant dull monotone. Liz had no time for this, tears were already coating her flushed cheeks.
“ Max is in there, and so is Alex…. Kyle, Isabel and Tess of all things,” Liz was screeching at the top of her lungs, her throat throbbed as she continuously pointed at the front doorway that had a thin glittery shield around it; so thin in fact that to any onlooker it would seem that they got sun in their eyes.
“Okay Liz,” Serena walked towards her with Kal and Brodie in two. “ But stand aside. We need to break through Kivar’s shield, if we can..”
“Oh no you don’t!” Liz placed a firm grip on Brodie’s shirt. “ Brodie is innocent. Go and protect Maria. If you wanna help me then get Maria. She’s cloaked in a jetta a few blocks away. So, get her and drive her to the UFO museum and wait. If anything happens I want her safe and out of harms way”
“Aren’t you in harms way Miss Parker?” Kal said as Brodie nodded and left the group to find Maria.
“Well,” Liz tilted her head back and pretended to think of Kal’s questions, her long brown hair flung across her face and stuck to the bottom of her trembling lips, “ I-I’m supposed to be apart of this royal four? Aren’t I? I’m not going to let Max down. I ran away when he found out about his destiny. I’ve lied to him and now I’ve got him back. I will not run away.” She will not stand aside, knowing full well that Max could die in there.
Liz had faith in them but she didn’t want to be left behind, doing nothing. Her bond with her unborn son told her that it was her son that wanted to help; it was him who convinced Liz in a matter of thirty seconds that it will be all right. So why not believe her own son? Charn was supposed to be this powerful being; even being inside her she could feel his presence. He knows what to do, which scared her in a way that she was supposed to be the one protecting her child: not the other way around.
She was only eighteen years old and she had to make these decisions that required more age in order to make that decision. Somehow, Liz pushed her innocence aside and stood aside to allow Kal and Serena to break the shield. Part of her knew they wouldn’t be able to break Kivar’s shield. Kivar is powerful, even in a human body, which dreaded the meeting of his Ra body- his real body- in the future.
Hopefully it won’t come to that, Liz said to herself.
A lone figure walked down the dim hallway, his presence caused darkness to cover the walls as he past, and a rush of cold infected everything he touched. Her pale arms slid across the wall as he entered a small room with a woman tied to the bed. His long dark sarong wrapped around his waist as a silver crest necklace was worn around his neck. His tousled wavy brown hair fell across his face and lightly touched his shoulders. His short locks of hair formed a parted fringed and banged around his eyes that were a dark brown, almost black as it was a stark contrast to his ashen skin that was even beautiful in the moonlight. He slid on a long black trench coat that fell to his bare feet. His face was chiselled like an angel but his smirk revealed his evilness that lingered inside his bitter heart.
Kivar, the word flashed across her mind.
A hand touched her arm and the image vanished and Liz looked up to see Kal looking at her with concern. In front, Serena was blasting all her energy into the shield but it continued to feed on Serena’s energy. An endless river of pink rippled into the shield but it made not rips or torns big enough to fit through.
“You saw something,” He whispered.
Liz slightly nodded. She didn’t what happened. One moment she was thinking to herself and then the next moment she had a flash of this attractive night creature that turned out to be Kivar. She was unsure about the woman that was tied to the bed. Who was she?
“Vision?” Kal asked.
“I don’t know. Usually when I touch things I see things but this vision evolved from a thought.” Liz looked to him for answers.
“You are still…developing into your powers.” His shades provided no sign of comfort. “ Maybe you are getting stronger in time,”
Kivar, a childlike voice whispered inside her head. A voice of a boy that clenched her heart with joy and sadness.
“No, it was Charn,” Liz whispered. Her own son gave her a glimpse of the future.
“A bond between child and mother is very strong. There is no record of a child providing visions of the future but….I dare say that your child is the reason behind you being strong Liz. It is your son. Your powers haven’t surfaced yet, besides being able to see into the future. “
“So you’re saying that I’m weak?”
“No,” he said a little too quickly, he shrugged his shoulders and attempted to smile but it came out wrong. His smile looked like it was forced- Liz saw too much for his white teeth but no emotion behind it.
Yes, he is, Charn said to her.
“My son says otherwise,” Liz emphasised. She couldn’t help but feel upset that she wasn’t strong.
You will be strong, her son’s voice said, he giggled and went back to sleep. It was strange, out of the ordinary, but with this information Liz knew her son could break the shield.
Serena lifted her hand away and fell to the ground, out of breath. She was breathing deep breaths; sweat covered her body. Liz saw sweat marks underneath her armpits and on her forehead like tiny raindrops.
“Cover me,” Liz said to Serena and tilted her head back to look at Kal.
Charn, Liz thought to herself. I need you to break through this shield. Help mommy save daddy and aunty Isabel.
It felt strange, talking to her unborn son who only began to show through her swollen stomach but looking down she saw Max’s handprint, glowing like the sun in its silver light. She felt a hot blaze sizzle upwards and cover her body until it was too much-she realised the blinding white beam with a loud Ka-Boom like a atom bomb going off she was flung back and was caught by Kal as they fell to the ground.
Liz looked up and found Kivar’s shield had been torn in half, like ripped curtain drapes and was frizzling away. Black scorch marks covered the front footpath and had brunt Kyle’s front door to ash and burnt woodchips. Only a rusted bronze doorknob was the only remains of the door.....but the doorknow was already half melted into the floorboard.
“Quick! Inside ” Liz had no time to explain, she winced as her leg was throbbing from the fall but ignored it, limping into Kyle’s home along with Serena and Kal just as the shield was woven back together and became whole once more.
Serena ducked in front of Liz-who had regained some energy to protect Liz but Liz stopped her and stood in front. She was confident that Kivar would not have any power to touch her while her son helped by using his powers.
She walked in to find three limp bodies on the floor; the smell of death hanging in the air and Isabel struggling against Kivar.
Liz had less than a second to act. She whipped to Serena and Kal-they both nodded and ran over to Isabel and lifted their hands to blast Kivar.
Their powers were like BB guns compared to Kivar's dark energy sizzling around him in endless dark cloud swirls, Kal and Serena's eletiric balls were thrown continually , making little pink and blue flits into Kivar but simply turned, with Isabel still by his side, smiling Alex’s cheeky grin. His wave brought a blast of atomic concoctions. Kal and Serena were flung back and thrashed into the wall, sliding down as crack of wall fell beside them, their bodies drained from using their energy but they staggered back up and tried again.
Liz didn’t stay in the front door for long, she hurdled over the kitchen bench top but she skidded across, loosing balance and fell on top of Max, she felt blood soaking into the back of her jeans when she realised that someone’s blood covered the table like a huge puddled, dripping at the corners to make more patterns on the brown carpet.
Kyle was still on the floor, next to Max. Awake but still groggily and hadn’t managed to sit up. Max was comatose, his skin was cold to touch but still Liz cupped his face and kissed him, breathing warm puffs of air into his face to see if he would move, looking into his dull amber eyes to shock him out of it. How much energy did he use? Was he too drained to wake up? Liz had no answers. She only became one of them only this year and Max had eighteen years worth of experience.
Just think about Max, Liz instructed herself, mimicking the same hand moves Max did when he connected with her. She cupped his cheeks and blanked out everything but the thought of Max.
He blink, a few tears leaked from his eyes and his lips were on hers. The simple gesture brought love and Liz pressed his head closer together, deepening the kiss by opening her mouth open to him.
No words were needed to tell if Max was okay. Just one touch from Max Liz Instinctivelyknew he was okay. The connection opened between the two of them with a warm wave of love which calmed them both.
Max looked down at Kyle who was fully awake and looking around, still lying flat on his back Liz got off Max and helped Kyle up while Max grabbed Kyle's briused back and hauled him up to lean against the kitchen cabinets. Liz then crept on top of Michael and healed his neck wound, feeling his hands slip in his pool of blood. She then sat by max's side, ready to attack Kivar when he was distracted. But he wasn't. He was standing inches away with a shocked experssion. Looking down Liz realised Max's handprint on her was glowing.
Kivar seemed flabbergasted; his mouth was wide open and his eyes for the first time showed fear.
“What…how…can it how did you get in here of all things….” He stopped, clenched Isabel tighter to him. He used his left arm to shield Kal and Serena up against the wall. Liz saw Serena was trying anything to brake through the imaginary chains Kivar had placed on her but it was to no avail. “Well, I guess its auf Wiedersehen for now,” Kivar laugehd but Liz knew he was afriad. He just found out that there was someone more powerful than him out there. Charn.
Isabel mouthed the word sorry to her brother. Tears were falling down her face as she tried to composure herself.
Kivar rushed off with black clouds whispering as he disappeared, along with Isabel and Tess.
“NOOOO!” Max screamed, lurching forward but only clutched the dark wisps trail as Kivar disappeared, along with a screaming Isabel. His scream matched his sister’s and echoed through the hallways. Liz felt guilty because she knew she could have prevented it from happening. She rubbed her swollen stomach and sighed. What now?
