Part 7
Michaels chanting filled the air as all eyes were on him, the web was starting to grow atop him and that made Alyssa and Zan very worried. They had to get him to Riverdog right away. Then Maria’s whispered “Oh my god….” Filled their ears and they snapped out of their thoughts.
“We know you guys have no reason to trust us, but believe me if we do not get him to Riverdog as soon as possible he will die. We will need all of you there to help him. Now if you want to save Michael’s life you will help me get him into your car and take him to the reservation. And if you don’t then don’t trust me and let him die.” Zan explained
“I know you guys must have a million questions. And we are prepared to answer all of them, after we save his life. And just so you know this isn’t something aliens just get out of the blue. Michael is chanting the chant from a ceremony he attended at Riverdog’s reservation. Only aliens have this reaction. And it will result in his death. Riverdog was testing him to see if he was an alien or not, but he did not react like the other alien did, his signs did not show up right away.” Alyssa explained softly.
“It’s a long story…and we will answer any questions you have after we save Michael’s life as we said before…now please, do this for Michael and don’t worry about us…” Zan said as he walked over towards Michael
Alyssa walked over to Liz and looked her deep in the eyes… “You need to trust us Liz, Michael’s life depends on it…”
Liz looked back at Alyssa and somehow felt like she could trust the girl. She nodded... “Alright come on guys; let’s do what they say…” She says as she walks over to Zan.
“What do you need me to do?” She asked.
Everyone got Michael into Maria’s jetta and everyone who didn’t fit into Maria’s car got into Max’s jeep and they drove to the reservation.
“Max, I don’t think we should tell them who we are yet…I think we need to let what happened happen” Liz thought to Max as she held Michael’s head in her lap
“I was thinking the same thing…but what else can we say to them? That we are from their planet and are here to help them?” Max thought back to her
“I think that would be our best bet….”
“Alright”
“You guys hows it going” Michaels voice interrupted their thoughts in their heads.
“Michael? Well we will tell you about it when we get back to the warehouse alright… things are way too complicated at this point in time to tell you anything…”Liz thinks back to Michael.
“Ok…” Michael thinks and his presence is lost in both their minds.
Alyssa walks over to Liz and takes her over to the corner…
“Liz, you are not going to be able to help Michael unless you overcome your fears, and learn to trust Max completely. If you don’t trust Max completely than you can’t be of any help to Michael…its up to you…just follow your heart…it will never put you in a situation that you can’t handle…its your destiny to follow your heart.” Alyssa explains to Liz looking her deep in the eyes
“You know, this whole thing with Michael scares me, all I can think is, “what if that was Max? is it some evil alien disease that he is going to die from and there is nothing I can do to stop it…but I believe in Max, he saved my life, and I trust him with my life.” Liz says getting tears in her eyes
Alyssa smiles a sad smile “Well then why don’t you prove that and help Michael…”
With that being said Liz leans in and hugs Alyssa…and whispers “thank you” and walks off to help Michael.
Zan walks over to Alyssa and looks at her curiously.
“What did you say to her?”
“Well I just explained to her that she needs to trust you, and that she should just follow her heart, its her destiny…And I believe that…. you are my destiny Max Evans.” She says leaning in and kissing him passionately and lovingly.
Max pulls back from the kiss after quite a while and looks in her eyes adoringly… “And you are my destiny Liz Parker.”
“Um…Lys…your phone is ringing….” Zan says to her going back in to character mode.
“Damn!” She reaches in her leather coat pocket…. “Hello?” she answers the phone as everyone, including Michael, walks out of the cave.
“Liz…what is going on…I need to know if everything turned out ok…we are on our way to the cave…that’s where you are isn’t it?” Maria asks rambling on.
“Yes that’s where we are…how close are you exactly?” Liz asks not knowing everyone has come out of the cave.
Michael walks up to Zan…and looks him up and down, sizing him up, taking inventory in case he has to defend himself against this guy, he could be an evil alien.
“We are going to be there in like 2 minutes…” Maria says as she shuts the phone.
Liz hangs the phone up and puts it back in her pocket.. “That was Ma….” She says as she turns around realizing that everyone is out of the cave “Uh…that was Marta, Zan.”
Michael looks over at Alyssa and raises an eyebrow…. “Who are you guys?”
Alyssa walks over to Zan and takes his hand in hers… “My name is Alyssa….and this is my boyfriend, Zan”
Michael raises an eyebrow… “Zan huh?”
** Michael is the one that would remember your name in a past life…who would have thought it…. Liz thinks amused to Max.**
Zan cracks a smile at her and looks at Michael… “Yes, Zan is my name.”
Michael looks at him quizzically…. “And you are here because?”
“Michael we aren’t here to hurt you, its actually the opposite, we are here to help you. We know what you guys are….we know that you guys are from the crash that happened so many years ago…and we know that you, Michael most of all want to find out about your family and your heritage.” Lys explains to Michael
“You don’t know anything about me….” Michael says defensively
“I don’t? Ok how about you, Max and Isabel found each other here in this desert, but Max and Isabel were the lucky ones…you were adopted by a horrible man named Hank…whom in turn for his monthly check, treats you like shit…and you think of Isabel and Max as your family…. you are in love with Maria…just as Max is in love with Liz…and you guys just need to face things together as a unit…not separately…We are here to help you…whether you like it or not… you do need our help…we know that Liz was shot maybe a little over a month ago…in the stomach… a fatal wound…she was dead for a minute…then Max over there saved her….so don’t try and tell me that you aren’t being tracked by the FBI at this moment…we know exactly what is going to happen…so just let us help you.” Lys explains as calmly as she can and then abruptly walks away
Zan looks at her strangely as she walks away
“She needs to cool off…. she’s getting upset that you guys aren’t even giving us a chance…believe me I know what you guys are feeling…that you don’t know if you can trust us…but you can… can trust us as much as you trust yourselves…. we are all on the same side here…now we will be in touch…we have to get going…” And with that Zan runs after Alyssa…leaving behind him a bunch of stunned people…. including Michael…who has his jaw hanging open but thinking that the answer to all his questions that he has had over all these years, lies in those two.
“Liz, baby, slow down, I cant really run in these freaking commando boots!” Max says running right behind Liz and grabbing her from behind
“Max, they don’t trust us, how are we going to get them to trust us, we have all changed our appearances and everything, but you know us, this is before Alex even knows anything…you guys are so protective and saying no one else can know! YOU are dead set on it…Honestly, I think we should tell them to tell Alex, and that Topolsky is an agent.” Liz says turning around in Max’s arms.
“Maybe they will realize things sooner and not activate the orbs…we could still be together if we hadn’t activated the orbs, it was my entire fault, all this pain that we went through, all because I was so curious…I was worse than Michael.” Max said his eyes turning downcast, not able to look Liz in the eyes.
“Max, you were doing what you thought was right, and you had a right to know about your past and why you were sent here. I think that we should tell them things as they come along, not put too much on them at once, but we need to take care of the Alex and Topolsky situation ok? Baby…I love you…never ever doubt that.” Liz said taking Max’s face in her hands and making him look her in the eyes.
“God I love you.” He says looking into her eyes and getting lost in them as he always does.
Liz smiles and takes his hand to where a screeching Jetta pulls up.
Maria, Michael, Alex, and Isabel get out of the car slowly one by one….and look completely different.
Maria has red hair that is all the way down her back with braids sporadically through her hair and her eyes are now brown and her lips are less noticeable, even though Michael didn’t like that fact. She has her belly button and nose pierced with a tattoo on her arm of the v constellation. She is wearing an outfit similar to Liz’s except its zebra print skirt with black boots and a black halter top.
Michael has a buzz cut with blonde hair and is a preppy boy, with a cutting edge look. Making sure that he has his Metallica Key chain hanging out of his pocket.
Alex changed his whole image and went with red hair with blonde tips and has a whole thug look going on with the baggiest clothes you have ever seen.
Isabel, trying to stay with the same image as she had before, has a tight leather dress on, only its dark purple and the middle is cut out to show off her belly button, which has a tattoo around it of a Celtic sun and now has a light brown hair that goes just about her shoulders that is curly and now has green eyes.
“What is going on you guys? We are about to head out and only be contacted by phone, so that way there is no possible way of any one recognizing us at all, we can’t take chances like that” Isabel says pacing.
“You are starting to sound just like your brother Iz…”Alex says chuckling despite the situation.
“Yeah, well that’s what happens when you are cramped in the same warehouse for months…” She says smiling, but it’s a sad smile. “I wanna go home…I wanna sleep in my bed and I want to be able to take a damn shower in my goddamn bathroom!”
“Ok now, its time to go, we will see you guys later.” Alex says hugging Liz and ushers everyone to the car, as we hear Michael saying “You know I am the only one who would think that us leaving would be a bad idea! We are going to leave it to the love struck teenagers in heat!” Everyone laughs and pushes him into the car and takes off.
“Max, we have to find out what even caused us to be here, how much you want to bet its Khivar or something? I mean we have been exploring all our options, its gotta be something like that, what else could make us come back in time?”
“Liz, I do believe that its Khivar, but we can’t exactly do anything when he hasn’t shown himself, I mean think about it, what are we gonna do? Yell into the sky and fight someone who isn’t there? We have to be patient, and hopefully he will eventually show himself.” He says leaning his forehead against hers.
“Alright bucko, who’s Khivar?” Maria asks walking up with Michael, Max, Liz, and Isabel.
Michael looks at them as though he is ready to shoot at any time.
“I wouldn’t use your powers if I were you, you need to learn to control them first Michael.” Lys says.
“What would you know about my powers?” Michael says coming inches from Lys’s face.
Lys raises her hand and pushes Michael back using her newfound powers that she discovered she had since Max healed her, she is now one of them.
“Well let’s just say I know how to use my powers and you don’t.” Lys says smirking at him. “Oh and Zan here, he knows a helluva lot more than I do.”
Michael looks at them shocked “You guys are one of us?”
Lys chuckles as Zan clears his throat “In a matter of speaking…”
Isabel looks at Lys “So are you guys like our brother and sister or something? Or our protectors?”
Zan looks at Isabel “I’m your brother, Lys, she is my girlfriend.”
Lys smiles “And so much more than that…”
Zan raises an eyebrow ‘Should we tell them you were human?’
‘I think we should, it will make Liz feel better…oops, me feel better’
Max looks between Zan and Lys “And so much more than that?”
“Well, I was human at one point, well you are all completely human except for your blood cells, and your powers are completely human, just evolved over many years.”
“You were human? Than how do you have powers?” Liz asks being the scientist of the group.
“I was a normal teenage girl, going about my business as usual, when one day my life is being ripped away from me. I was a small town girl, I had the 2 best friends and the great life, I was nothing like I am now. Then when I almost died and Zan saved me, so selflessly, not worrying about the consequences, he changed me. You see when an alien heals you, you change inside, and it’s slowly over time and you become one of them. It’s hard to explain. But your powers are exactly what the human mind can do, human minds have the capacity to have the same powers, but the only catch is, they still have to wait to evolve to have them. We don’t.” Lys says all the while holding Zan’s hand.
“So you mean to tell me that our minds have the capabilities of doing what Michael, Max and Isabel do?” Maria asks looking dumbfounded.
“That’s exactly what we’re saying” Zan says looking at Michael.
“Michael you need to learn to control your powers or its going to get you in trouble…”Lys says walking over to him “You have such raw emotion that you can’t control your powers when you get upset, and you need to be able to. We are here to help you. You need to focus and blank your mind out and only focus on what you want to do…Now we have reason to believe that there is an FBI agent implanted in the school.”
“Her name is Kathleen Toplosky, we believe Alex can help you get her out of Roswell, but you have to trust him, he is worthy of your trust, more than worthy. And the only one that could convince him to do this is Liz, and after you have him help you, you can let him in on your secret.” Zan says looking around at everyone. “I know what you are all thinking, that you shouldn’t let another in, but letting Alex in, well it’s something that has to be done. Just trust us.”
Michael looks into Lys’s eyes and sees such innocence, and knows that she is telling the truth “I trust you.”
“WHAT????” everyone in the group exclaims.
“Michael? Guys, it’s not really Michael, someone has brainwashed him or something or he is an evil alien taking the place of Michael and he just looks like Michael…” Maria rambles.
Michael smirks and leans over and kisses her and leans his forehead against hers after a few seconds “That was just to calm you down…” He smiles a secret smile to her, and Maria melts.
Liz walks up to Alyssa “You mean that since Max healed me, that I am going to have these powers? Like they do?”
“You will eventually, but they come on suddenly and it’s kind of hard for your body to handle it…but you get over it and you are going to be perfectly capable of doing everything that Max, Michael and Isabel can do.” Lys says looking at Liz with such calm look so that Liz won’t panic.
Liz nodded still a little shocked that she was going to get powers.
“Can I ask what you mean when you say it’s a little hard for your body to handle it?” Liz asks with a gulp
Lys smiles a reassuring smile and says “Well, when I first developed my powers it was painful, only because my body was getting used to having the ability to do these powers, and then to have them exert themselves to come outside of my body, well that’s an odd feeling in and of itself I’m sure” she says as she smiles at Zan. “But after the first time, it becomes less painful, and more of something that is just you, you become completely comfortable with it, it’s like it’s always been there.” Lys says as she puts a hand on Liz’s shoulder.
Liz took a deep breath and looked over at Max and then looked back at Lys “Its worth it though isn’t it?”
Lys smiled “Oh yes, everything that you go through, as long as its together, nothing can separate you, and when I say together, I mean, all six of you….including Alex.”
