I'd like to watch you sleep at night
to hear you breathe by my side
And though sleep leaves me behind
there's nowhere I'd rather be

Liz watched him sleep, her husband. She was married to Max. Destiny could never touch them with it's cold claws again, they were free. In a manner of speaking. She brushed a stray strand of hair out of his eyes and smiled. She was running for her life, the life that his hands had brough back from the dead, and she just wasn't scared. As long as she had Max and her friends around her she could make it. She pulled the blanket up higher over her cold shoulders and smiled when Max's arm wrapped around her protectively. It had been a few weeks since Graduation, they had gotten married three days ago and as a wedding present they stopped at a motel, they had yet to leave. She closed her eyes and drifted off safe in his arms...

And now our bed is oh so cold
my hands feel empty
no one to hold

Strange beeping woke up and the bed felt cold and stiff, she tried to move but pain shot through her stomach making her lay still. Her entire body ached and there was something in her mouth, her head swam as white spots danced across her vision she tried to take the thing out of her mouth but it was taped down. What was going? Where was she? Where was Max? She moved her stiff legs and kicked something, a dark haired head lifted to her side and she felt some relief. She tried to say his name but the thing muffled her, she stroked his hair but when he looked up it wasn't Max. She pulled her hand away sharply like she'd been burnt. What was going on?
"Oh My God she's awake!" cried her dad then he ran out the room. A few minutes later she was surrounded by doctors and nurses. The thing was taken out of her throat and she was given a few sips of water
"M-Ma..Macks" she called out her throat was so raw and painful "Wurs Macks?"
"Max? Whose Max?" asked Nancy leaning over her daughter, she looked up at her husband and he shrugged his shoulders
"Macks! Ma usbnd!" she shouted but the doctor put his hand on her shoulder
"Rest up Liz, you've just come out of a coma. We were wondering when you'd wake up" the doctor smiled at her
"Khoma?" she repeated "Wurs Macks?" she began to beg now as tears spilled down her face "I wan Macks!"
"Shush, Lizzie. Try and get some sleep" her dad ordered "You've still not healed properly yet"
"Eeled?"
"You got shot, a man shot you in the cafe... don't worry Sheriff Valenti caught him" said Nancy. Liz slumped back in the bed, she'd been shot. She was in hospital after she had been shot! She grabbed hold of her dad's shirt and pulled him close
"Hyow ollld ammmm yi?" she asked
"You're sixteen Liz" he said then looked up at the doctor "Is this normal? s she still.... sick?"
"She's just woken up, she's bound to be disorientated"
"Wot habout Maaarreea?" she asked "An Alecccckkkss"
"Are they her friends?" asked the doctor
"I have no idea who Maria and Alex are. Or who Max is" said Jeff
"I think it's best if we let Liz get some rest now" said the doctor "It's late and she's had quite a time after waking up. I suggest you go home and get some rest" he advised. Her parents began to gather up their things and said goodbye to her.

I can sleep what side I want
It's not the same with you gone
Oh if you'd come home
I'll let you know that
All you want

She didn't sleep much through the night, she tried to remember back to when she got shot. Maria was there, Michael and Max were too! She remembered that; she was sure they were there. After trying to assure herself of what she did know she checked to see if her powers were there. She held up her hands in front of her face and smiled as they crackled with energy, that smile carried her off into sleep.
She woke up the next morning and her throat felt better, but her stomach still ached. She made sure that no one was around and she slipped her hand under the blanket over the gauze pads and bandages and focused on the wound. She could feel warmth in her stomach, just like the day Max had put his hands over her and saved her life. The wound didn't hurt so much as before so she sat up leaning against the headboard. She had to get out of here and found out where Max and the others were. She tossed back the blankets and carefully swung her legs over the edge of the bed and put her feet down on the cold floor. She grabbed hold of the sheets tight and the frame and slowly rose to her feet. She had no idea how long she'd been here but her legs were weak. She wouldn't get very far on them and she wouldn't get out in this gown. Liz rooted through the cupboards next to her bed and found a bag of clean clothes. It took her a while to get them on then she walked to the door holding onto furniture.
She spotted an empty wheel chair in the hall and carefully walked out to it, she sat in and let of a heavy sigh. It had been painful walking on unused legs and taken a lot out of her.
Liz began to wheel herself towards the elevator, she would go to Max's house first and if he was there then she'd talk to him. After getting the hang of the chair she escaped from the hospital and wheeled clear across town. Her arms ached when she reached Murray Drive, she had been here millions of times and although she couldn't quite rember how she'd gotten back to Roswell she would find out why. Max would know, all she had to do was go to Max. She stopped in front of a house and her eyes went wide, glancing around the other houses to make sure it was the right one she nodded and looked back to 6025, it was burnt all over with the windows and doors boarded up.

Is right here in this room
All you need
Is sitting here with you
All you want

"Max where are you?" she whispered to herself, she made her way back towards Main Street. She had to get out of the chair to get into the sheriff's station. Hanson freaked when he saw her baby stepping into the office
"Good Lord!" he cried and rushed over just in time to catch her as she fell forward
"I have to speak to Valenti" she announced breathlessly as he set her down on some comfy waiting chairs
"I'll go get him right away" he said then hurried off. A few minutes later Hanson returned with Valenti
"Miss Parker?" he gasped
"It's Mrs Evans thank you very much and quit with the formal titles" she said calmly "I need to speak to you, it's very important; and private" she said staring pointedly at Hanson
"Oh I'll uh check the inmates" he said before leaving them to talk
"Jim what happened? How did I get back here? Where's Max?"
"Miss Parker I think you need to go back to hospital. You're still in a serious condition...!"
"Valenti! I know stuff. I know stuff that I didn't know three years ago... I mean when I got shot, before I found out. I know about the Silo Murder... about Hubble and your father. I know that you arrested Amy Deluca, I know that you haven't seen your father in a long time..."
"How did you find out about that?"
"I know because over the years you've told me things. Valenti, the night before last I fell asleep in someone's arms. His name was Max Evans... he's my husband. I'm almost nineteen years old, I got shot three years ago and he jumped up putting his hand over my wound and healed me. I had a silver handprint over it for a few days..." she said lifting her shirt
"Liz..." he gasped looking down and there was a handprint... but it was hers not Max's.
"I need you to help me find Max"
"Liz," he sighed "What is going on? No one jumped up and healed you Liz... no one called Max Evans lived near or in this town. How can I find someone who doesn't exist?"
"Fine. But then I need to take me somewhere"
"Where?"
"To the desert, there's something I have to find out" she said
"Let me get my keys. I should be taking you to the hospital instead" he said as he grabbed his keys from behind the desk and scooped her up in his arms. He carried her out to the car and they drove in silence up the road
"Pull off the road here" Liz said and he did without question; he drove along till he reached an outcropping of rocks and she undid her seat belt. He climbed out and then went round her side and got her out too "Up the side of the cliff" she said and he carried her up until she went stiff "Stop. Stop here" she said pointing to part of the rock. She reached out and waved her hand over the rock focusing hard, a silver handprint appeared and her heart fluttered with relief. She pressed her hand to the print and the rock rolled back
"It's real. Max is out there somewhere" she said "Let's go inside" he nervously climbed inside to glowing green rocks and old pods "Don't worry Max. I'll find you again" she promised herself when she saw his

It's been three years
One night apart
but in that night you tore my heart
If only you had slept alone
If those seeds had not been sown

Oh you could come home and you would know that
All you want
Is right here in this room
All you need
Is sitting here with you
All you want

"What is this place? Liz you need to start giving me some answers" said Valenti
"I trust you Valenti, that's why I came to you. These are alien pods..." the second she said alien he turned and climbed back out the cave with her in his arms
"What are you doing?" she shrieked
"This isn't real! Aliens don't exist, this is just... just some delusion. I'm taking you back to the hospital"
"What? No! No!" she shouted and began struggling in his arms "Aliens are real!" she roared as they reached his car
"You're crazy!" he said then shoved her inside, she banged on the windows then locked the doors, but it did no good he unlocked them with his keys. He drove them back to town and she refused to talk to anyone, her parents were talking with doctors and several officers and they rushed over to her when Valenti walked in carrying her
"Liz? Liz! Oh my God are you okay?" asked Jeff but she ignored him
"I'm not saying anything until you get... I want to talk to Amy Deluca. She should have a little girl about my age" she said, she really needed her best friend right about now
"Oh My. Amy? Do you remember her?" asked Jeff and Valenti went pale
"Yeah I do" said Nancy "Didn't she..." she trailed off when she saw how Jim shifted uneasily
"What? What?" demanded Liz glancing back and forth between the two of them
"Amy Deluca was trampled to death eighteen years ago in a protest" said Valenti sadly. Liz clapped a hand over her mouth and tried to hold back the tears
"She demanded that I take her somewhere after she got out of hospital" said Valenti "Took me to an empty cave"
"Empty? It wasn't empty! There's pods in that cave!" she shouted
"She kept saying that there were alien pods there but it was just a cave" he explained
"No! You know they're there! Don't lie!" she shouted as a nurse wheeled her off in a chair.
"What is wrong with her?" asked Jeff
"Sometimes patients come out of coma's and they've been living in their heads. That may be the case with Liz" he explained
No Max, No Maria and No Alex. Valenti lied, and she was stuck in hospital. She cleared her mind and tried to get all her facts together. She had been shot. She woke up in hospital after being shot. She hadn't been healed, but then how did she have these powers? She held her hands up expecting to see the energy but nothing happened, she shook her fists but nothing happened. The last connection to all she had known was gone and it became all too much for her. She wrapped her arms around her legs and began to cry. She cried until she was dehydrated then she sobered up and wiped at the tracks on her face. So she hadn't been healed but she knew that the aliens existed, she saw the pods it was proof. She could go to River Dog... but he was dangerous; she would have to go and get the pendant first but that was in Atherton's dome and the key was in Valenti's office. There would be no way to get it without breaking in and she was stuck with very little walking ability. She tossed back the blanket and stared at her legs. She would be able to walk by the end of the night, she promised herself and began stretching her muscles.
Several hours later she leaned back bending her legs then pretended to cycle on her back, she pulled the blanket back over her legs. She didn't want anyone to know about her legs until it was too late. She settled down and tried to get some sleep for the night ahead.
She woke up just as the sun was going down, she had worn herself out stretching her muscles to walk properly. She tossed the blanket back stood up and got changed swiftly. She went into the bathroom and stared at her hair, she focused hard picturing how Maria did her hair and waved her hand. When she opened her eyes she didn't just have Maria's hair style! She looked exactly like her! She grabbed her bag and climbed out the bathroom window. She found the nearest ATM and drew out all her money then headed to the Sheriff's station.
She left her bag in a dumpster as she climbed the drain pipe to the ledge outside his office. The room was empty and all locked up, she pulled a clip out of her hair and fiddled round until it clicked and the bars swung open. She opened the window, climbed inside then began to root around for the flask. She remembered Max saying it was in a flask, she found it wedged into the bottom draw and she unscrewed the cap there sat the key. She picked it up and got a flash... it was of her and Max lying in bed in that motel room then there was a flash of bright light then darkness... then a small point of light grew but she couldn't quite see who the light belong to. She fell back with a thump, she jumped up quick and got out of here before her rolling brought any unwanted attention. After locking the bars back in place she jumped from the ledge into the dumpster below. Grabbed her bag and took off down the street.

I hear your key turning in the door
I won't be hearing that sound anymore
And you and your sin
can leave the way you just came in
send my regards to her

She had hitch-hiked all the way there, despite her mind telling her it was dangerous. The dome looked like hope, she had hope. The dome was here and she was close to getting further. She put the key in the door and unlocked it. It swung open and she walked into the old dusty run down house. She heard something scurry and whipped round but saw nothing, she suddenly began to think that this was a bad idea. She moved through the house towards the trap door, she was about to release the switch that held it when something caught her attention. She stared into the shadows and saw to crystal blue eyes staring back at her then they came forward forming a pale but extremely dirty face and matted long blond hair. It was Tess but naked, she looked like no one had found her
"Tess? OMG! Where is Max? What about the others? Are they here?" she asked looking around but it was just her "They're not here are they?" she took a step towards Tess only to find the other girl back off in fear "Can you understand me?" she looked around realising that Tess must have grown up here without anyone around. Where was Nasedo?

I hope you've found that
All you want
Is right there in that room
All you need
Is sitting there with you
All you want

"Come on" she said pulling the girl along to the motel room, she had dressed Tess in some of her clothes so she could get her out of the dome. Liz had no clue how long she'd been there by herself or how she came to be locked in. She shut the door behind them and sat Tess down on a bed, the girl needed cleaning up. She wasn't sure what was going on, she remembered Tess blowing up the base killing herself in the process. How she was alive now made no sense whatsoever. Despite that Tess was her enemy she knew that things were different, the girl hardly knew how to pronounce Destiny let alone force it upon Max. She stripped the clothes off and pulled Tess into the bathroom washing her down, most of the long hair was beyond saving so she cut it short and wiped the grime from her face. The necklace would have to wait for now, if she could get Tess to talk then maybe she would find some answers? Liz left Tess in the bathroom and walked into the bedroom area then froze, she could picture Max and herself lying there together after their wedding night. She buried her head in her hands and began to cry. What she wouldn't give to have Max here lying in bed with her, safe in her arms...

I'd like to watch you sleep at night
to hear you breathe by my side

My lover's gone
his boots no longer by my door
he left at dawn
and as I slept I felt him go
Returns no more

Tess curled up against Liz, she had been the first contact with anyone since she was abandoned in the dome by Nasedo a few hours after she hatched. They slept through the night until Liz woke up to see Tess's big blue eyes staring at her
"Good morning" she said then sat up, rubbing at her bed head trying to tame her hair. Tess didn't take her eyes off Liz and began to copy her running a hand through her hair too, Liz chuckled and dropped her hands flat on the bed. She stood up with Tess still watching her and grabbed the remote switching on the TV. Her happy face stared back at her and she went pale, she flipped the TV off and tossed the remote over her shoulder. Tess did a dive for it like it was something precious and began to examine it
"They're looking for me, I have to change my appearance" she said standing up to stare at herself in the mirror. She tried changing her hair to blonde like Tess's but it was no good. She went and sat back down on the bed and Tess was watching her once more, she grabbed Tess's hand and put it on her head. She pointed to Tess's hair then to her own, after pointing and gesturing several times she finally understood and Liz's hair under Tess's hands began to turn a beautiful blonde. Liz smiled then hugged her, Tess went stiff before melting in her arms.
Liz got them changed, she was still a little stiff on her feet but she managed to get both of them changed and out, she left the key in the room and the two of them got off without paying. She didn't want to leave any trace that she'd been here and she needed to keep what cash she had strong because there were two of them now and they were both headed back to the dome.

I will not watch the ocean
My lover's gone
no earthly ships will ever bring him home again
bring him home again

When Tess saw it she began to panic thinking that she was getting locked back up in there with nothing but rats to eat but Liz calmed her fears and left her outside by the door while Liz went in by herself, she undid the lock and went down in the basement and found the necklace right where she remembered it being. She crept back up quickly and froze when she saw the Sheriff's shadow. He was talking to Tess, or trying to because Tess was freaking out trying to get far away from him. Liz stormed out running as fast as her unsteady legs would carry her, she knocked the sheriff down and sprinted off. When Tess saw Liz was running she immediately ran off after her.
When the girl caught up with her new friend they joined hands and ran together. They got back to the town after loosing Valenti
"We have to get a train" Liz said as she pulled Tess down into the subway.
They bought tickets for New York and got on the for the long haul. Tess fell asleep a few minutes after getting on the train, a lot of people freaked her out but she stayed close to Liz.

My lover's gone
I know that kiss will be my last
no more his song
the tune upon his lips has passed

Liz walked tiredly along towards the warm light with Tess following her, still holding her hand. Tess was wide awake with energy but Liz was practically falling asleep on her feet. She gave in and slowly sat down and let sleep take her. Tess looked around and knew from what Liz had shown her that you didn't sleep on dirty floor so she gathered her only friend up and carried her the best she could towards the light. It was warm and safe there was no one around and a large big bed sat off to one side. It looked so inviting that Tess laid Liz down and sat watch on the end.
Several minutes later she heard footsteps coming down the tunnel and four young teenagers around fourteen came in, they paused when they saw her there on their bed but they knew she was like them so they didn't do anything. The young rough looking boy stepped forward inspecting the girl on the bed, he went to zap her but Tess held out her hand and shook her head no. He stepped back and gestured for them to come over, they shared their food with her until they heard tears coming from the girl on the bed. She sat up slowly then froze when she saw a young boy standing staring at her
"Max? Max is that you?" she whispered reaching out to touch him but he darted back into the light. She blinked when she realised how young he was. She looked around and saw Tess sitting at the end of her bed, she had been dreaming. That she was back with Max in that motel and the FBI caught up with them, they shot him and shot her with tranqs and dragged her off. They'd killed him, she felt a sudden pain in her soul... she would have to find Max! One way or the other she would find her husband!
She looked around and saw that she had four more young people to look after, this family was growing strangely. Max was her husband so Isabel was her sister in law and Maria would have a fit if anything happened to Michael and Ava and Tess... they were both so innocent at this time. She would look after them as well, she'd need to get a job to get some more money to her funds then she would go in search of Kal Langley and River Dog... anyone who could help her find Max and her real family, she'd bring them home where they belonged...

I sing alone
while I watch the ocean
My lover's gone
no earthly ships will ever bring him home again
bring him home again

Liz wiped the table down then brushed a strand of blonde hair behind her ear, she missed having her dark brown locks but it wasn't really safe. She had always thought she could trust Valenti but after what he did back in Roswell she knew where his loyalty lay. She picked up the gray tray and carried it into the back for the guy in the kitchen to clean. She went back out and jumped when she saw Zan standing there
"Zan what are you doing here? You should be back home looking after the others" she said then moved past him to wipe another table. She was lost in thought, she wondered why the Dupes were younger than Tess was, well she didn't really know how old Tess was and there was only a year or so's difference maybe Tess was the same age as the Dupes? She shook her head, thinking about it gave her a headache. She turned around and crashed into Zan
"Christ Zan!" she snapped "Are you hungry? Is that why you're here"
"You're crazy" he said suddenly giving her this strange look and she chuckled, she'd never heard Zan speak or any of the others for that matter since she first met them
"I'll get Frank to whip up a pizza for you and slip several packets of Tabasco in for you to take back to Rath, Lonnie, Ava and Tess"
"Look lady you're crazy" he said backing up
"Well then go home Zan" she said turning back to work, she looked back up a few minutes later and he was gone. She walked to the back then froze when it hit her she went faint when she realised who it was she'd been talking to...

***

Adam walked over to the car and climbed in. His big sister was sitting behind the wheel staring at him expectantly with big green eyes
"Well? Adam? Where's our dinner?" she asked
"Maria, calm down. The girl in there was crazy, she kept calling me Zan and told me outright to go home" he said Maria fumed and got out of the car. Adam followed her fearing what she would do to the kooky waitress, he got halfway across the road when the waitress flew through the doors looked around then raced towards him wrapping her arms around him
"Oh My God Max!" she began to cry against his shoulder "I knew I'd find you!" he just looked for Maria to help but she was chuckling to herself
"My name isn't Max" he said slowly prying the blonde off himself, she reached for her pendant and pulled it up
"Don't you remember me? Please?" he looked down at the symbol and scowled
"Where did you get this?"
"Along time ago you gave it to me. I'm your wife Max"
"My name isn't Max. It's Adam" he explained she shook her head
"Max? What about Isabel and Michael? Where are they?"
"Who?"
"Isabel? Your sister?" she said almost frantically
"My sister isn't called Isabel. Her name's Maria and she's standing behind you" Liz turned around quickly and saw Maria, her best friend Maria, standing there
"Oh My God Maria!" she threw her arms around Maria "You have no idea how lost I've been without you"
"Yeah, you're a real crazy lady"
"Everything's been so weird since I left Roswell, oh my hair! You probably didn't recognise me with this stupid do!" she said she touched her hair and it turned brown once more. Adam gasped, he'd seen this girl in his dreams. He'd woken up confused and disorientated one morning and everything was different. He just put it down to being some crazy dream but she was in it. This girl
"Liz" he whispered and she turned to him and nodded
"You remember" she gasped smiling overjoyed
"I remember my dream. I had the weirdest dream that I was running from the FBI and that..."
"We were married. Isabel, was your sister and Michael was your best friend"
"Kyle was there too" he whispered holding his head "What's going on? How can we remember the same dream?"
"Because it happened Max. It happened to us"
"I can't believe I forgot it like a bad memory... how did you remember?"
"I woke up after being shot. Max I survived the shooting without you but I remembered everything like it had just happened. You have to come with me to meet the others" she said taking his hand. Maria had been silent through out their little reunion talk but she had had the same dream too. What did it all mean?

***

Liz walked along with Max following her the walls flickered for a moment turning white before turning back to the dark sewer brick walls.
"Did you just see that?"
"What Liz?" asked Max, her name echoed through the sewer tunnel and the walls flickered white again but this time they stayed white. She looked around and found herself lying on a cold steel table, someone was standing over her saying her name. She felt groggy and extremely confused
"Ah you're back with us Liz!" said the man "We thought you'd drifted off back into your little day dream fantasy"
"Where am I?"
"The amount of inhibitors we pumped into you should have killed you but it's a miracle you're still alive. Welcome to the White Room Miss Parker... or should I say Mrs Evans?" he asked "It's nice to finally have to have you coherent! You went into this little fantasy world for a few days while we did the major tests on you. It's amazing what the mind does to protect itself while the body is being tortured" she looked down and saw several dark patches under her paper scrubs. She began to panic as reality set in, she was in the White Room. The FBI had caught up with her and she'd been dreaming to escape the torture they did to her...

What could she do? What was she going to do? Where was Max? Where was he?
"Where's my husband!" she demanded
"That thing has no right to marry just like gay people should! It's sickening the thought of that thing abusing our laws and wrecking the sanctity of our traditions!" shouted the nameless agent standing over her
"Where is he!" she cried out again then heard a groan from the table next to her. She looked over and almost screamed out at the sight she saw... Michael was lying there and a guy in scrubs was rooting around in his opened stomach. More men in scrubs came over to her bearing medically equipment and she screamed out in hopelessness.

***

Maria jerked awake and instantly winced as the sun bore down on her, her hair was covered with dust from the desert and Kyle lay next to her still unconscious. She looked around and saw no sign of the others, she shoved Kyle who groaned in pain before lifting himself up to sit. He looked at her before clearing his eyes with the back of his hand
"It's over isn't it?" he asked and she nodded grimly
"It shouldn't have ended like this" she said as tears began to pool in her eyes. She whimpered as they rolled down her burnt skin of her face. Maria climbed to her feet and Kyle couldn't help but watch her surprised
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going home Kyle" she said bitterly
"Why?"
"Can we really stand up against them?"
"We could try... are you so willing to give up?"
"What makes you think they're still alive Kyle? God knows how long we've been out! Look! We're ten miles from Roswell, that motel we stopped at was two hundred and thirty nine miles from here! It's over. And I'm going home" she said; she was just being realistic, but that didn't stop her heart from breaking.
"We'll go to that Brody guy and get him to talk to his alien, get them to send back up! Anything... Maria... don't give up. I can't do this alone, we'll get them back" he said but Maria kept limping off. He scrambled to his feet chasing after her. He grabbed her shoulder and spun her round
"HOW CAN YOU GIVE UP LIKE THIS?"
"Because I know I'll never see them again. We get them back then what? Where would we go? They would always find us and take them away? Why fight that?"
"Because it's our alien right!" he chuckled
"Your alien right. I'm human remember" she turned and continued her limp to town.

Sirenity looked around the large comfy room built for her and shivered as she clutched her teddy. They had made her this room, They had given her toys and all nice presents, They had given her she could have ever wanted; but she wasn't stupid. She knew who They were and why They'd brought her here. She never did what They asked, never spoke to Them and shied away whenever one of Them came in. She had dreams of an angel; her angel. She could also remember from the dreams what They did to him and how he feared Them.
She could sense her angel... it was like someone was shining a light on the back of her neck, but it didn't hurt at all. There were more than Him, more angels like Him. At first she thought they would come and rescue her but after a few hours she realised that they were prisoners here like she was. They were waiting for her to do something, anything, to prove that she was special like the angels now. She could feel their dependancy on her and she swore she wouldn't let them down. So carefully she set her teddy down and went over to the little pink laptop they'd brought in for her. She placed her hands over the keypad and sent a surge into the computer. The lights flickered for a moment before everything went out, the doors opened and she rendered the entire base powerless. She was strong for a six year old but she'd always been smart. She walked along the corridor until she was sure that the room they were in was right before her. She walked in and the lights went on, several doctors in scrubs stopped when they saw her. They wondered how on Earth she had gotten in before they crumpled to the floor as a strange energy over came them. The little girl went over to each table and took their hand healing them and clearing out the inhibitor drugs in their system. Once she'd finished with Isabel she collapsed on the floor, Liz and the others got up and Michael scooped the tiny girl into his arms before they all made a break for freedom...

The four of them moved down and sat down in the cold dirty water of the underground pipe. Michael still had the small girl in his arms and Liz was checking Max over; he was saying he was fine but he couldn't stop shaking.
"Max you're not fine!" Isabel protested "You're shaking!"
"I was in the White Room. I think I'm allowed to, check the girl... make sure Sirenity is okay" he said pointing to the girl
"You know who she is?" asked Michael surprised
"She-She was o-one of th-th-the kids from-from Phoenix" he bit out as his shaking got worse
"We can't stay here, we have to get some place dry and warm" said Liz pulling Max up. They all got up and began to move out of the little pipe.

Maria slowly limped into town, she was exhausted and her skin was burnt and sore. She continued through towards the town, her house was on the far side of Roswell and she wasn't walking that far. Her burning resolve pushed her on, she had to get there then she could rest, she told herself. She reached the cafe and pushed the door open limping inside. She had briefly forgotten about Kyle but when she saw Valenti sitting there with her mom it all brought it back. She wondered idly if he was still out in the desert before she collapsed down knocking a table with a clatter. Several people came to investigate who it was and when Amy saw her daughter she hurried over
"Call an ambulance!" she shouted then turned to her daughter "Maria... Maria can you hear me?"
"Mom you have to go get Kyle... he's out in the desert. About ten miles from Roswell... they killed the aliens mom. They took them and now they're dead" Valenti knew what that meant, what about Liz?
"Where's Liz?"
"She's an alien too Valenti..." she mumbled "They killed her too" Jeff Parker had been standing in the little crowd surrounding Maria and when he heard the news he rushed over to the small table where several agents sat trying to be inconspicious grabbed them up and started throwing punches.

***

Sirenity opened her eyes to see a tall gruff man looking down at her, they were in this old cave near a roaring fire. She slowly sat up and looked round. The tall dark haired girl was warming her shaking hands by the fire and her Angel and the Lady were holding each other safe
"Did I do good?" she whispered suddenly causing everyone to look at her
"Yes" said the Lady who smiled "You did very good, you got us out and away from the bad people" Sirenity smiled and cuddled up in Michael's arms and drifted back to sleep.
"I can't believe she saved us all" Michael said staring down at the small girl in his arms. She couldn't be more than six and she'd held so much power. Hours ago his stomach was open and he was slowly being tortured, the thought made him sick and his head swam. He closed his eyes and opened them to see Liz standing near him. She picked the little girl up and carried her over to Max
"I think it's time we got some sleep. We have a long journey ahead of us" she said. Michael waved his hand over the fire putting it out. Isabel moved closer to Max and he moved closer to Liz. They all fell asleep cuddled up to keep warm.

***

He pressed his foot down faster on the gas as he scanned the horizon for any sign of Kyle. After they'd taken Maria to the hospital he had got into his car and went in search of his son. If Kyle was in the same state that Maria was in then he wouldn't survive a night in the desert. He slowed down when his lights spotted something off to the side. He got out of his car and saw Kyle lying on the desert floor. His skin was parched and cracked and his hair was caked with dust and dirt. Valenti hurried over and knelt down checking for a pulse; there was one but it was very faint and he was very cold. He lifted Kyle easily and carried him toward the car, he set him in the front seat near the heaters and sped even faster back to Roswell Memorial
"Hold on Kyle" he said as he held his boy close "You're gonna make it, just hold on"
"Isabel?" he murmured opening his eyes briefly "Tell my dad I love him" he said before closing his eyes...

When he heard Maria had been found he stopped what he was doing grabbed his jacket, he didn't even bother getting a sitter for Sydney. He scooped his little girl up into his arm and carried her out to the car
"Daddy where are we going?"
"To see Maria, they found her" he explained and she smiled, the name Maria meant something special to her. Whenever she heard certain names she always thought of the Christmas Angel.
"Are we going to see Liz and Kyle and Alex too?" she asked suddenly making him pause
"Who?" he asked, he knew who they were but he didn't know how she knew
"The Angels friends. If we're going to see Maria will they be there too?" she asked and he looked at her dumbfounded
"I... I don't know. I don't think they're there Syd" he replied before putting her in the car and fastening her belt. He walked round and got in the driver's seat and sped off towards Roswell Memorial.

Jim stretched and felt his bones creak. He hadn't moved from the chair since he brought Kyle in. He sat watching his son hooked up to the monitors and felt like it was the Shoot Out in the UFO Centre again. First Alex now Kyle and Maria... Liz was already gone. He'd heard it from Maria's own mouth, they were dead. Kyle and Maria were the only ones left, he sat by his son's side praying that he pulled through.
He jumped when he felt a hand on his shoulder, he turned and looked up to see Amy standing over him
"Come take a break Jim" she said rubbing his shoulder "If either of them wake up the nurses will come and get us" he sighed rubbing his hands over his face and stood up. They walked outside and saw Brody coming up holding Sydney's hand
"Jim, I just heard. How's Maria?" he asked
"Who are you?" Amy asked looking at the strange redhead with a kid
"I'm Brody Davis... Maria helped me last year when my daughter was sick..." he began to explain but Sydney broke in
"Maria sent the Angel to make me better!" she cried with a big smile "Now I have to go make her better" she said pulling away from her father. She rushed off disappearing into Maria's room and the grownups followed. Jim had forgotten about the kids in Phoenix, that had silver prints left on them like Liz. Had they been changed too? The three of them stood a little past the doorway and watched as Sydney climbed up into the far chair and put her hand over Maria's stomach
"What is she...?" she stopped speaking when she saw Sydney's hand begin to glow. The little girl didn't even break a sweat before Maria was normal again. Her skin wasn't burnt from being out in the desert and she looked like herself again.
"Sydney?" whispered Brody "How did you do that?"
"I'm special now. Like the Angel!"
"The Christmas Angel?" he replied and she nodded
"Yeah the Angel works for you in your FO Centre" she explained "He came and made me better on Christmas"
"What was his name?"
"It was Max" she answered "And there are more Angels. There's Isabel, Michael and Eli-z-z-abeth and Kyle! And him too!" she pointed at Valenti who paled
"Jim what's going on?" Amy demanded then suddenly Maria opened her eyes
"Miiiichael" she groaned Amy rushed over in disbelief
"Maria! Oh My God Maria! You're okay!" she cried pulling her daughter close
"Where am I?" she drawled groggily and she looked around "I... I can sense Michael. I can sense him... what happened? I can sense Max and Liz too and Isabel and... Sirenity"
"Sirenity's with them?" smiled Sydney "She was my best friend when the Angel came. We played patty cake when he made us better"
"You made me better didn't you?" she whispered and Sydney nodded
"Isabel's asking me to help Kyle" she said suddenly then she climbed down from her seat and quietly walked to the next room. Jim and Brody followed her, Amy stayed with her daughter.
The two men went in and shut the door behind them and watched as Sydney stood near the wall whispering to something. Jim glanced from her to the other side of the room where Kyle was laying.
"Your funny!" she cried all of a sudden and giggled "But you gotta go back to over there" she pointed to Kyle "So I can make you better. Coz I said so! Isabel said so too!" she shouted appearing to have a conversation with the wall "Coz you're not ready to go. No not yet, so give me your hand and I'll walk with you" she said holding out her hand. They both when pale when they saw this ghostly white hand take hold of her skin and she walked over to the bed the hand vanished when she reached the side of the bed and a few seconds later the machines beeped eractically before falling back into their normal rhythm. Sydney put her hands over Kyle's stomach then one on his head and began to heal him. Once she was done she fell down on the floor, Brody hurried over to check on her
"I'm just a little tired" she announced as he gathered her up in his arms
"What happened Deputy?" Brody asked "How on Earth did she do all this? I know you know so I want answers"
"It's a very long story and I think we should all sit down together to tell it" he said feeling hope for the first time in a long while as Kyle's eyes fluttered open. The first thing he said when he spotted Sydney was
"Thanks for walking me back squirt"
"You're welcome Kyle" she replied before falling asleep in her father's arms.

After escaping from the base they went back on the run, it took a while for Max to get back to normal. They stole a van then changed the shape, colour and plates and took to the road once more. This time with Sirenity and without Kyle or Maria, they had no idea if they were alive or dead but they were sure that they were alive and safe.
Sirenity went with them no questions asked and she never spoke to anyone except Michael who had craddled her and carried her that first night and while she slept after using all her energy. She was sat next to Michael and he had his arm around her as Isabel drove. None of them trusted Max to drive because if then he was better in himself his hands never stopped shaking. Suddenly the van began to sputter and slow down
"Isabel what did you do?" asked Michael
"She didn't do anything" said Sirenity "The van's fine. I just needed it to stop for a while" she explained
"Are you okay sweetie?" asked Liz looking over her, she had wrapped them all around her little finger and they wouldn't have it any other way
"I'm fine... I had to tell you that I don't have a mommy or daddy anymore. They... when they took me... but I want... I want Michael to be my daddy and Maria to be my mommy" she said and Michael gasped, no one had mentioned Maria and they had no clue how she knew her name short of reading it from their minds
"How do you know about Maria?" asked Isabel wanting to know
"Sydney told me"
"Sydney?" Max repeated "Sydney Davis?"
"Yeah she said she's an Angel now and she made Maria and Kyle an angel too. They were really sick and hurt but they're all better now" she explained then turned to Michael "Michael will you be my papa?" he sat there staring at her for a moment. Out of all of them Michael was the one she'd affected the most. All he had to do was look in her sad eyes and feel like hell had sucked him in. The entire group watched as he stared at Sirenity like his life depended on it, then he smiled and nodded. A big grin crossed her face and she threw her arms around him
"Papa!" she cried as she cuddled into his chest

***

"Daddy I have to go see Maria!" Sydney suddenly called "Sirenity wants me to ask her a question"
"Who's Sirenity?" asked Brody as he turned in his office chair in the main room of the centre
"She's Michael's daughter, can we go see Maria now?" she asked impatiently. It had been a few days since she healed Maria and Kyle. Valenti had told him and Amy Deluca about the existence of aliens and how Max, his sister and their best friend was one and he explained about the shooting and all the events that led up to Maria and Kyle being in the hospital. At first he didn't believe a single word of it, even though he was sure he'd been abducted, because it all seemed so unbelieveable and unreal but as he thought it over it began to make sense... it was so far fetched that it had to be true!
"Okay, let me finish up..." he said but the door closed shut and she was gone. He smiled, probably gone off to play with one of the exhibits again.
Sydney grabbed her coat from where she took it off and pulled it on then climbed the steps to the exit. She had this strong urgency to tell Maria the question. After Sydney had been healed it was Sirenity that had been healed next, she got more strength from him and seemed to be the strongest out of all of them. She walked along the street not noticing the black van slowly crawling up behind her. She turned onto Maria's street and noticed that there was a lot less people and traffic around that in the town then she paused and looked straight over her shoulder at them. The van began to speed up as she walked faster, she began to run but the van was too fast. It skidded to a stop and the side door opened and several men jumped out, she fell back onto someone's lawn and threw both hands up blasting the men back into the van and flipping it over. She got up and raced off as fast as she could.

***

Brody locked his office door and then went along to try and find Sydney, she'd been by the alien autopsy last time he saw her
"Syd! Come on! We're going to Maria's!" he called but there was no reply "Sydney!" again nothing but silence "Syndey Alice Davis come out right now" he called looking round. Then realised she wasn't here, she must have left without him! He climbed the steps as fast as he could and raced down the street towards Maria's he saw a van burning upside down in the middle of the road with several people dressed in suits sat around it covered in soot but no sign of Sydney. He panicked when he saw a piece of folded up paper on the grass, it had been the picture she drew for him before and he told her to keep hold of it till they went home then he could put it on the fridge.
"Sydney!" he shoute then took off continuing to Maria's. He banged on the door when he got there and Amy answered
"Come in, she's been here for half an hour. We tried calling you at work, she's with Maria. She was so scared when she got her she just cried, Maria picked her up and took her into the living room"
"She's okay?"
"She's fine" Amy replied "Cried herself to sleep" the two of them walked in to find Maria leaning on the edge of the couch with Sydney in her arms, both of them were fast asleep and glowing brightly
"Is... is that normal?" asked Brody Amy just shrugged
"I have no idea anymore..." she replied "I'm still just glad that my daughter is okay" she said "Even if she has to be an alien"

Sirenity pushed her little pram along the grass in the front yard surrounded by a fence that was a little taller than her and played house. She picked her dolly up out of the pram and sat down on the grass and fed her it's bottle. She heard a gasp and looked up to see several kids standing on the other side of the fence on the street staring in at her
"Get out of there! Quick!" said one of the girls "Don't you know evil witches live there! Don't you know what they do to little girls?" she cried. The girl had lived across the street and she saw the old van drive up and pull into the driveway, her parents kept talking about a cult of religious freaks and warned her to steer clear of that house. Sirenity put her dolly in the pram and came over
"I'm Sirenity" she said peeking through the fence
"I'm Jilly, quickly! Before the witches come" she cried, the girl was so terrified that the girl would be hurt by the monsters that lived in the house
"There are no witches Jilly" she smiled
"Are you sure? Coz Bobby said he saw them making spells! One of the windows was glowing!" she replied seriously
"Don't be silly Jilly! Window's don't glow" she explained. Michael had been in the kitchen preparing lunch for everyone when he spotted Sirenity talking to someone through the fence
"Do you want to be my friend?" Sirenity asked and Jilly nodded, they shook hands through the fence
"Hey!" all the children jumped when they heard Michael shout, the older kids took off but Jilly stayed there crying frantically
"Run Sirenity! Before the witch gets you!" she cried tugging at Sirenity's hand. She just chuckled
"That's no witch. That's my daddy" she said as Michael came over and swung Sirenity up into his arms
"Who were you talking to?" he asked fearful of what might happen if she spoke to the wrong people
"Jilly. She's from across the street"
"Hello Jilly, I'm Michael" he said "Do you want to come and play with Sirenity?" he asked
"My mommy says not to play with strangers" she said timidly "So I have to go ask her"
"Okay" he said then carried Sirenity inside to have her lunch.
She sat at the table eating her sandwiches as the others came down and snagged some butties off the plate in the middle
"Max!" Michael called "I'm going to need your help taking down the fence"
"What? Why? It's a decent fence and it keeps people out"
"Yes but it's keeping Siree in and I don't want to her to grow up without friends. Remember how we three were the outsiders during school? I don't want that for her"
"Michael's right" said Liz "You two apart from Isabel were never really popular. Siree never asked for this and yet she's got it, it's the least we can do" she said and he nodded finally
"Okay, after lunch we'll take it down" he said then looked across at Michael "Are there... anymore sandwiches?"
"No, eat what you've got first piggy" he replied rather surly
"Did you just call our brother a piggy?" asked Isabel he turned to look at him then smirked
"Oink" he said then went back to eating his sandwiches Isabel chuckled against the back of her hand and Max flicked some cucumber at Michael, they broke out into a little mini food fight with the contents of their lunch until Sirenity spoke up
"Daddy, are we witches?" she asked confused, Jilly had said witches lived there. Witches had magical powers and so did her daddy and her aunts and uncle; if they were did that make her a witch too? He glanced around unsure about what to tell his new daughter. Everyone went silent as they sat around covered in bits of bread, cucumber and warm egg yolk
"No Sirenity. We're not witches" he replied
"Then what are we? We can do stuff that other people can't. Sydney says we're Angels but they live in Heaben with God" she said "So if we're not witches or angels then what are we?"
"Do you know at night, when the sky is really clear and you can see all the stars?"
"Yeah"
"Well one of those stars is were me, auntie Isabel and uncle Max come from"
"What about me and Auntie Liz?"
"You were sick," Max jumped in "And I used my magical powers to make you better. Nasty men hurt Liz and I made her better too"
"So I'm like from the stars now?" she asked and Michael nodded "So I'm an alien?"
"No, you're only a little bit alien"
"Which bit?" she asked holding out her arms looking for any sign that she'd gone different. Michael reached out and tugged on her little finger
"This bit" he said "But you know that you can't tell anyone that your pinky is alien and you can't tell anyone that we're alien either otherwise we'll go back to that horrible place where they hurt me and you had to use your powers" he explained and she nodded.
After Max and Michael cleaned up they put on work gloves and left Liz and Isabel clearing up the foodfight. Sirenity came out to watch her dad and uncle Max take the front fence down. She could see Jilly across the road talking with her mom, Siree waved to her new friend and in the end Jilly and her mom came over.
"Hi" she said to Max "Are you Michael? Sirenity's father?"
"Nope he is" he pointed to Michael snapping wood in half
"I'm Sarah Sanderson and this is my daughter Julie Alycia but we all call her Jilly. You are..."
"I'm Max" he said "Max Guerin" he shook her hand
"And you two are... together?" she asked and Max went pale
"No, Michael's my brother" he clarified "And Siree is my niece"
"Nice to meet you" she said, Jilly pulled away from her mom and went to play with Sirenity. Liz came out carrying glasses of lemonade and Isabel came out with a little table to put the tray on
"Hey guys," she said "Lemonade?"
"Do you want to come and have a drink?" asked Michael inviting Sarah over. She nodded and came to join them as the girls played
"Are you her mother?" asked Liz pointing to Jilly and Sarah nodded
"Yes, we live across the street"
"I'm Liz..." she was about to say Evans but Max jumped in
"Guerin. This is my wife Liz Guerin, we recently got married" he explained
"And our sister Isabel Ramirez" he pointed to Isabel
"Nice to meet you" she said as the boys got back to work clearing down the fence.
"So Liz, you seem awfully young to be married"
"I'm nineteen, we're both nineteen. We were married in vegas before we left Los Angeles. We knew each other in school, and grew up together"
"Aww you married your highschool sweetheart"
"Yeah, he's my only love" she said honestly as she watched Max work. Sarah followed her train of sight and smirked, Max was something amazing. Liz saw Sarah looking at her husband and scowled making Sarah blush
"What about Sirenity's mother? Where is she?"
"She's back in Los Angeles" said Isabel "She's staying with some friends till we have enough money to bring her home here" she said
"Does she get along with Michael?"
"No" said Liz and Isabel at the same time then chuckled
"They're always arguing, but that's just how they work in a relationship. They're both very passionate" Liz explained "Maria is my best friend and I don't think there is anyone else for her except Michael Guerin" the three girls watched the boys work until the sun went down and Sarah stood up and went over to pick up her daughter, both Jilly and Siree had fallen asleep on the grass.
"Is it okay if I bring her around tomorrow?" asked Sarah wanting to be free of her little brat for a few hours so she could see her friends and have them all round.
"Sure" said Michael as he scooped Siree off the grass "Bring her around anytime" he said as they all went inside.

"Blue Team you are a go. Red team you are a go. Green team you are a go, try and take the children alive" said the command leader as he sat in the front of the first black van safely parked at the end of the road. The three teams began to move down the road past the cops standing near the roadblocks. Sarah came rushing over to one of them to find out what was going on
"What's happening? What's going on? What are they doing?"
"Some terrorists have been squatting here. These guys are rounding them up"
"But my daughters in there!" she screeched "Julie!" she ran past the blockaid and got halfway up the grass when several S.W.A.T agents took her down pressing her into the lawn.

***

Liz had been doing the dishes in the backyard when she heard Sarah shouting. She looked up to see several men advancing on the house, she dropped the plate and raced to the stairs
"We've got company!" she shouted up and the house came to life. Isabel and Max grabbed the emergency bags from the cupboard, Michael got Sirenity from her room. Siree grabbed onto Jilly's hand
"No sweetie. We can't take Jilly" he said
"We can't leave her. They'll hurt her. I saw" she said Michael glanced down at Jilly then scooped her up into his arms and carried them both down the stairs
"What's going on?" asked Jilly worried
"It's okay Jilly, we're going for a little drive and we'll stop you off in town so your mommy can pick you up safe"
"No daddy! Jilly has to come with us! It's na safe for her. I saw! I saw like Auntie Liz does"
"I know you did, but we can't take her. She isn't ours"
"Please" she begged as they reached the bottom of the stairs. Max came back from the garage and took Jilly from Michael
"Unca Max they're gonna hurt Jilly! I saw! You have to help her" she said
"Okay. Get her to the van and tell Isabel to bring up her strength. Liz is driving, you're offensive"
"What I love best" Michael said as he carried Siree to the van. Max slowly put Jilly down in front of the door and opened it
"Go. Slowly" he said "Put your hands up" he gave her a gentle push out the door and she slowly began walking down the path
"Freeze!" someone shouted and she stopped over the radios came the other 'It's the child, tranq it' one man took aim and fired. Sarah screamed when she saw her daughter go down hard. Then everyone watching froze in disbelief as a small green shield had appeared out of nowhere and the tranq was wedged into it. Sarah looked up and saw Max sitting near the door with his hand out, he'd saved her; protected her!
"Julie run to Max!" she shouted Jilly got up "Go with him!" she raced back to the door, she kneed the man holding her in the groin and shoved him off. She raced towards the house and one man decided that she'd gotten far enough. He pulled out his gun and shot her, Max turned Jilly before she saw her mom killed. Max got up from the door and carried Jilly to the van in the garage.
"We have to go now. Liz keep your head down while you drive" he said as he put Jilly in next to Siree. He grabbed hold of Isabel's hand as Michael blasted the garage door out and a large shield appeared around the van. The S.W.A.T team's attention was focused solely on the van in the garage but as they watched it drive out it just vanished. Siree sat there clasping her hands together to keep up the intensity of the mindwarp, it was so hard to make all these people not see the van.

***

Sydney was sitting in class when she felt the tugging scream for help in her mind. She shoved her chair back and knelt down on the floor clasping her hands together and closed her eyes and sent Siree everything she had.

***

Kyle put his bag on the bed and smiled, he was back in his room. It was his room again, he smiled as he looked around then felt something roar inside his mind. It felt like Tess screaming for help but it wasn't her, whoever it was needed help badly. He could tell that this person was so innocent trying to help and she was using a lot of energy. He got down on his knees clasping his hands together and tried to send her anything he had even though he had no idea how to help her.

***

Maria carefully stacked the shelves in her mothers shop when she felt Kyle, Sydney and other voices calling for help inside her mind. She dropped an 'I Believe' alien mug on the floor then knelt down. Amy came out to see what had smashed and several tourists looked on as Maria clasped her hands and began to glow
"Oh My God!" gasped someone. She opened her eyes and they were pure black, Amy hurried over to kneel in front of Maria
"What's going on? What's happening?"
"It's Sydney! She wants me and Kyle to help her with something, they need a lot of energy"
"Maria... your eyes have gone black" she said "Please, you have to stop. End the connection"
"No mom, it's for Michael and the others I can't stop" she said then closed her eyes once more.

***

Sirenity was rocking back and forth as they sped along, suddenly she opened her eyes and they were black as night
"It's Sydney! She wants me and Kyle to help her with something, they need a lot of energy" she said suddenly "No mom it's for Michael and the others I can't stop" she opened her eyes and collapsed onto the van floor.
In Roswell Sydney, Kyle and Maria collapsed down from where they were kneeling and in Santa Fe two boys fell unconscious in class. No one had any idea what had happened to them.
