Roswell Fanatics

Chapter 19

Dean shot 2 shots that pierced Tess once in the arm and the other in the leg. As she crumbled to the floor, Michael and Ava took off pass her with Dean right behind them. When they rounded the corner, a bright, white light filled the room almost knocking Dean over.

"A, chu okay?" Ava asked as she and Michael steaded him.

"Yea. Let's get the hell out of here."

"Let's." Michael said as he led the way out.

Both Dean and Ava covered the back to see if Tess was behind them even through they knew she wasn't. When they finally made it out, Michael saw Max and Isabel running towards them. Isabel was the first to reach them.

"Oh my god, Michael. We were so worried about you and then this whole thing with Liz and Lynn ending up in the hospital just made everything all the worst."

"Wait!" Michael and Ava said at the same time.

"Is Lynn alright?" Michael asked."

"Is she ever." They heard Dean say from behind them.

"What are you doing here?" Max snapped.

"My job." Dean said checking his gun. "Now Tess is still inside. I'm going back to finish the job. No one follow me." Then Dean walked off.

"No. I'm coming with you." Dean stopped and slowly turned around.

"I don't think so."

"I don't care what you 'think'. This is my family and that is that. Now I'm going with you." Max stated.

"Fine but I warned you."

Dean turned and walked to the ware house without even looking back. Max took a quick look at his 'family' and then followed after Dean.

****************

The sun rose and spilled into Liz's room, waking her up. Everything seemed the same as she did her daily routine. It wasn't until she was about to leave the bathroom that she was hit by a rush of flashes.

Dean and Max in a ware house.

Tess healing herself.

Tess walking up to a tall blond.

A dark haird man dying in Ava's arms.

Lynn holding up what looked like the cafe's ceiling.

Liz crying over Alex's grave.

Liz being told that she was different.

"Lizzie are you okay?"

Liz opened her eyes to see both her parents and aunt Jenny kneeling over her.

Do something! A vioce yelled into her head.

"I'm okay. I, I, I was just being...clumsy. I was brushing my hair when I slipped." Liz's mom glanced around the bathroom.

"The tile is wet so it wasn't your fault, sweetie." She said. "Next time, be careful."

Liz nodded her head and watched as one by one, all 3 adults walked out leaving her to herself. Now that was weird, Liz thought to herself. What the hell did all those flashes mean and why did they happen now?

"Max brought you back and now you're different."

Ava's words filled Liz's head as she walked into her bedroom. Did seeing the future come from Max or did it come from with in her? Only one way to find out, Liz thought as she got dress. To Michael's.

******************

The pod squad each got out of Max's jeep, both tired and defeated. Max and Dean had searched the entire ware house only to come up empty. Some how Tess had gotten out making it harder to explain to Dean and Kal. At least Kal knew what was happening. Dean had no clue and that made it harder to get rid of him without looking suspisous.

"I'll see you guys later." Dean said never getting out of the impala. Then he sped away like a bat out of hell. Out of no where, Ava started to chuckle.

"What is it?" Isabel asked as they all walked into Michael's house.

"Liz got it good." Ava dropped onto Michael's couch with Isabel right next to her.

"What do you mean?" Michael questioned from his spot in the kitchen.

"I mean," Ava said sitting up right. "She got her 'rents, Lynn, Kyle, Maria & now dat fine piece of sexy ass. She sure did get lucky."

"We have other things to worry about." Max said from the door.

"Like what?" Isabel asked.

"Like what to tell Liz's new guy, for one. And what to do with Tess when we find her?"

"If we find her, you mean?" Michael said.

"I don't know. I mean about Dean. I think he already knows we're different." Isabel sighed.

"So we fill in da blanks. He ain't been nuthin but sum banging help ever since he got herre." Ava stopped. "& Sammy boy too."

"Then let's go to a vote." Michael said as he walked over to Max. "Yes, we tell them or no, we don't. All those for yes."

Everybody but Max raised their hands. That got Max mad.

"I thought you didn't want any human to know our secret, Ava?" He snapped.

"Wut? Hell nah. Dat wasn't me. I wanted ta tell humans but da otha's shut me down.

"Isabel?"

"Since he already knows something, then I think we should just tell him."

"I can't believe you, Iz. You flipped out when I told Liz but now you're okay with telling a total stranger?"

"Yeah, I mean Liz obviously trusts him and the fact that he helped us out blindly, should count for something."

"Michael?" Max said turning to Michael. "Now you gotta be with me on this?"

"I'm not Max. Dean is a good guy from what I have seen and he just saved both Ava and me because I'm sure Tess was there to kill our asses. Plus, I really don't trust your judgement anymore. I mean you trusted Tess and look where that got us."

Before Max could say anything, there was a knock at the door that made the royal four jump to attention. In one swift move, Max opened the door showing a very freaked out Liz. Her hands were up in defensive mode and she was covering her face.

"Liz?" Liz lowered her hands. "What are you doing here?"

"Looking for Ava. I kind of got the feeling that you found them since I haven't seen you in 3 days. Well that and I have to talk to her about something but if I'm going to be attacked because of it, then I'll go home and wait for Dean."

"No! Ava's here. Come in." Liz rolled her eyes as she passed Max. Then she saw the others.

"Woah. What the hell happened to you guys?"

"Long story." Michael said. "So how's Lynn?"

"She's good. The doctors said she'd pull through but they didn't think that it would haven been so soon."

"Do you know what happened to her?"

Liz shook her head. "No clue. The doctors wouldn't really talk to me and my parents kept their mouths shut until aunt Jenny came. But that's not why I'm here."

"Then why are you here, Liz? I thought that we were public enemy number 1 to you." Max said from the door.

"Look, I'm sticking to what I said because I know I'm right. It's just that I...we may have a bigger problem."

"Wut chu say?" Ava asked.

"She said that aliens killed Alex." Ava looked at Max and then at Liz.

"Chu may b rite."

"What?!" Everyone said at the same time.

"Juss think ya. Alex dies mysteriously breaking ya'll up. Den Tess goes & kidnaps Mikey & me. Even Kal said dat she's up ta no good."

"Kal?" Liz and Michael said at the same time.

"He's my protector. He was suppose ta stay wit us in New York but neva kne wherez we were cause yaz protector didn't tell him."

"So Kal is on our side?" Liz asked.

"Hell yea."

"Then maybe he could help me with my probelm. Well, our problem."

"Sure he can. Wut it is, gurl?"

"I had a couple of, I don't know, premonitions or flashes right before I came here."

"About what?" Michael asked.

"Lots of different things. Max and Dean walking into a ware house. Tess healing herself and then meeting up with some blond guy. A dark haird man dying in Ava's arms and some other things."

"Wait a minute." Isabel finally spoke up. "Did you say that you saw Tess healing herself?"

"Yep and I think you guys are right about Lynn."

Chapter 20

Lynn woke up both re-energized nd totally alive. She gently stretched and yawned like a small kitten while Sam slept peacefully next to her. A smile tickled her lips when she heard Sam softly whimper as she stood up. God, did she love him.

Suddenly, Lynn felt pain from Liz. She wanted to run to her but thought against it because there was no way for her to explain her knowing. But then Lynn noticed that her mom, aunt Nancy and uncle Jeff were all there. She was about to mind her business when she heard aunt Nancy ask Liz if she was alright. Wanting to know the answer as well, Lynn stood in Liz's mind. When Liz did say anything, without realizing it, Lynn yelled into Liz's mind: 'Do something.' That was when Liz said that she slipped.Of course, no one but aunt Nancy believed her but no one pushed it.

"You're up early." Lynn turned to see Sam fully awake and leaning on the headboard of her bed.

"I try." Lynn joked. "Plus I slept like a baby. What about you?" Lynn asked as she sat back on her bed.

"Same here, only I feel a little irresponsible."

"Why?"

"Well," Sam motioned for Lynn to come to come to him which she did. "Because I have a job to do but I left it for Dean to do it alone."

"Yea but I'm sure he ain't doin nuthin wit out ya."

"You don't know Dean." Sam said into Lynn's curls.

"I guess not." Lynn said looking up at Sam. "But someday?"

"Somday."

****************

Dean walked into his hotel room and couldn't believe what he had been through. That Ava chick had been in his head, then he watched her kick ass and then he shot her twin sister, thinking he paralized her only to find out Tess was gone. She had gotten away. He was sure of it. That blinding white light wasn't just nothing.

In total fustration, Dean grabbed his father's journal and looked for something, anything about what he had been through last night. But again he came up empty. Not in all his years on this Earth did John Winchester ever come in contact with aliens or whatever Dean and Sam were dealing with. Witches, demons, vampires, and the creepy crawly that go bump in the night, he's seen but alins? Not one fucking thing.

More fustrated than before, Dean stomped into the bathroom and turned on the shower. Maybe a little steam'll cool him off. Dean stripped out of his black shirt and blue jeans and stepped into the scolding hot water. As he washed his face, Dean thought about Liz. She had to be in the middle of all of this without even realizing it. Her heart was one to ponder because she follows on blind faith even if it's to her death for her friends. In some ways, she was just like Dean with Sammy.

Whenever something happens to Sam, Dean would run through burning buildings and jump off bridges just to find the cure or a way that would keep Sam alive. In some wayz, Dean could see Liz doing things for the people she loves. Just not as extreme, Dean thought with a laugh.

"Did I just hear you laugh?" Sammy's voice filled the bathroom making Dean a little uncomfortable.

"Nah man, but if you don't get out and close the damn door behind you then you'll see alot more of me."

"Is that a threat or a promise?" Dean heard an angelic voice say.

"What the-?" Dean opened the cutain to see Liz standing in front of the closed bathroom door. "What are you doing here?"

"Well I was gonna wait for you until something came up. So after getting my 'thing' done, I decided to come see you." Liz teased as she walked over to Dean with a towl in her tiny hands. "Good thing too because I was able to give Sam a lift here."

"If that's such a good thing then how come we're not alone?" Dean said making Liz think about it. Then she frowned. "Exactly."

They both stood near each other, niether moving or talking. Just staring. Then Dean wrapped his towel around his waist with that sexy grin on his face.

"Well, every plan has some failing point."

"Not the great plans, baby." Dean was about to walk pass Liz when she grabbed his arm and pulled to her. "Sammy'll hear.

A devilous smile spread across Liz's face as she turned on th falcet. God I love this woman, Dean thought to himself as his lips crashed into Liz's.

********************

After Liz had left, the pod squad sat in shock by what had happened in the past 3 days. First Michael and Ava's kidnapping by one of their own, Lynn's mysterious trip to the hospital and then her mysterious healing. Next was Michael and Ava's rescue by a total strager. But to add more to that already crazy list was Liz's developing power and both Tess and Lynn's unknown secrets.

"I neva saw ne of this happenin'. I mean, sure, yea, Liz's powers but all da rest? Nah." Ava let out a deep sigh.

"I guess it's safe to say that we're screwed, right?" Isabel questioned from the kitchen.

"I have no clue." Max said as he dropped down next to Ava. "Tess was the only one who spent all that time with Nasaedo. We only have what we've learned and that might not be enough."

"So this is how we all die?" Michael asked from next to Isabel.

"No it isn't." A tall brunette walked into the living room.

"Kal!" Ava shot up. "You got my message."

"Yes I did. That's why Max and Isabel here went and got you out."

"Nah. It wasn't dem."

"Then who?" Michael walked into the living room.

"Dean saved us." He said.

"Who's Dean?" Kal asked.

"Funny, duke. Dean is Liz's new boo and you sent him ta come get us."

"Ava, I have no clue who you are talking about but I might be able to help you with Liz."

"But I thought-."

"Enough Ava." Max stated sitting right. He looked just like the king he was. "Now what about Liz?"

Both Isabel and Michael looked shocked while Ava looked like she was going to cry. Niehter Zan from the past nor the Zan she had loved in New York had ever yelled at her. Kal glanced at Ava and then back at Max. He wanted to tell the young king off but he'd never gone against the royals and never would.

It was his job to serve and protect the royal four no matter what and that is what he will do.

"On the subject touching Liz, I believe that she is indeed changing."

"Changing how?" Max asked. "Like she's one of us or..."

"Her human dna is mixing with alien dna. The flashes are just the beginning."

"Huh?"

"Soon she'll develop each of your powers and she'll be more powerfull than the rest of you. That makes her both important and dangerous. You have to have her on your side."

"Then what do we do?" Max questioned getting mad.

"'We' ain't doin nuthin. Liz is MY gurl so I got herre. It don't matta ta me."

"What about Kyle?" Isabel asked sounding nothing like herself. "Is he gonna be the same?"

"No. Soon he too will get your powers and be just as strong as Liz. But for now, he has nothing to worry about." Kal smiled at the young princess.

"Good."

*********************

"So Lynn, how are you doing?"

"Good I guess except ma won't let me outta her sight."

Kyle glanced aroundthe cafe and spotted an older version of bot Liz and Lynn, waitressing. Her eyes wondered over to Lyn and him and Kyle knew that was Jennifer Parker.

"I can see that." Kyle said making Lynn laugh. "Wow, finally a smile."

"Ha ha, homie, but for real. You is so cool. Why don't you gotta girl?"

"Weell," Kyle said turning to Lynn on his stool while Lynn did the same. "I had Liz. Then got with this hot blond named Vicky but that didn't go so well."

"But dat still ain't got nuthin ta do wit why you ain't got a gurl now."

"You really wanna know?"

"Yea."

"You sure?"

"Yea, I'm sure."

"Cause we can always-?"

"Of course I wanna noe. Now stop pussying out and tell me." Lynn said getting a little loud.

"Alright." Kyle said laughing. "Don't bite my head off."

Then Lynn started laughing. Niether noticed the pod squad walk in or Liz for that matter. They just kept to each other until Liz walked over to them.

"Nah really?" Kyle nodded his head after telling Lynn that he likes Isabel but is afriad to tell her. "i got chu den."

"Hey guys." Liz said making Kyle jump. "You okay, Kyle? You seem a bit... Freaked."

"No, I'm fine but what about you, Liz?"

"What about me?"

"If I'm correct, you left here what?" Kyle looked at Lynn, then back to Liz. "Two hours ago with Sam. I hope you have a good explanation as to why you left me with Lynn?"

"Hey!" Lynn said as she playfully hit Kyle.

Liz giggled as she tried to cover up her now red cheeks. "I was...busy."

"Yea, busy doin Dean huh?" Kyle's eyebrows rose in shock while Lynn slapped her hand over her mouth. "Oops."

"Is little Lizzie Parker no longer a 'virgin'?" Kyle asked making Liz blush. "I guess that's a no."

"Oh shut up. Like I was gonna be one until the day I died. Yea right." Both Lynn and Kyle burst out laughing. "What? You guys did? Ugh." Liz said trying to sound disgusted but was laughing instead. "I hate you both."

Liz walked away from the two laughing idoits only to have them follow her.

"Come on Liz. You noez dat chu luv us." Lynn smiled.

********************

"Deyz is happy. Maybe we shuld come back, tamorra?"

"No Ava. We have to tell them now before it all blows up in our faces. You heard Liz. Tess is gonna heal herself and is then going to contract with Kivar. We can't risk that." Max stated. "I won't be left in stupid, again."

********************

Tess sat still in the ware house on Michael's old chair. That mind warp took out more power than she had at the moment. God did those bullets hurt, Tess thought as she let out a deep breath before pulling both bullets out with her bare hands.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhhh."

Before the pain could stop, Tess healed both wounds.

Chapter 21

Dean filled Sam in on everything that happened after he left the Parker's home. He told him about the aliens, the shooting and the unexplained dead ends.

"So do you think Tess killed Alex?" Sam asked as he did research on the laptop.

"Hell yeah. But I have no proof and no way finding out if she did."

"But I may. Look at this." Dean walked over to Sam and looked down at the screen.

"Shit. Where did you get all this information on Tess?" Dean questioned as he ran a hand through his crazy hair.

"I went through the FBI data base. It says here that Tess Hardening was adopted and so was Max, Isabel and Michael. They were all found when they were...6 years old it says."

"And? What else?"

"Well, none of them could speak english or do anything normal for a 6 year old for that matter. I guess they are your 'aliens'."

"What about Liz and the others?"

"They're all 'human'. All were born and have records of their lives. Even move around the world Lynn has records." Sam said as he turned to Dean. "The only one that doesn't have anything on them is Ava."

"What?"

"I don't even think that the FBI knows that she's alive. So it runs with your story." Dean walked away from Sam and dropped onto his bed. "Dean, what's wrong?"

"Liz and the others."

"What about them?"

"They don't have any clue about these aliens. I mean they can't have any clue if Maria is dating Michael and Alex dated Isabel and Tess is living with the Valenti's and Liz..." Dean let out a frustrated sigh. "Liz dated Max; who for some reason just won't let her go.I swear if I see him anywhere near her, I'll-."

"Woe!"

"What?" Dean looked at Sam.

"All this time, I thought that there was no girl who could ever tie you down. Not even Cassie could do that but here we are."

"What the hell are you getting at?"

"You're in love and all it took was a doe-eyed girl who knows aliens." Sam chuckled.

"Sammy...Sammy." Dean shot up. "Let's go. We got better things to do than talk about my love life."

"Whatever you say." Sam said as he turned back to his laptop. "Loverboy."

"That's it." Dean yelled before tackling Sam to the ground.

*************************

"I mean it." Liz chuckled. "That's it."

After folllowing Liz upstairs, both Klye and Lynn filled her in on what she had missed. Her parents had gotten another call for work so they were leaving in the morning while Jenny was staying an extra day. Then in the spurr of the moment, Kyle told Liz about his crush on Isabel. immedently, Lynn told Liz about her helping him so Liz said that she would also help him so Kyle decided to tickle Liz until she changed her mind.

"Come on Kyle. Stop!"

"No way." Lynn said getting in on the laughter. "This is too funny. Don't stop." She said from the chair near Liz's desk.

"Stop!" Liz yelled through her giggles.

"Don't stop!"

"Stop."

"Don't stop."

"Stop it Kyle."

"Yes, please Kyle. Stop it!"

Liz, Kyle and Lynn all stopped laughing as they watched the pod squad walk in. Liz moved from between Kyle's legs and stood next to Lynn. Their hands automatically locked while Kyle got off his knees and went to stand on the other side of Lynn.

"So nice...To see...(*cough*). It's so nice to see you all here. Exspecially you Max. I mean, wow..." Kyle started.

"Buzz kill, much." Lynn finished.

"Look, we don't have time for this. Liz is already changing and soon..."

"Of course she's changing. She is forever a Parker woman." Lynn stood up. "But how would ya'll noe dat?"

The room fell silent.

"What do you mean Liz is forever a Parker woman?" Michael asked.

"Excuse me?" Lynn said giving him a dumb look.

"Lynn?"

"The women in our family is very special. Didn' you know that?"

"No. Liz was shot and Max healed her. We're aliens." Michael told her.

"Huh?" Lynn turned to Liz. "You were shot?"

"I was and I was gonna to tell you-."

"But I already knew."

"What?!"

"I already said to much. I gotta go." Lynn let go of Liz's hand and walked over to where the pod squad was. "Move."

"No. Now that you know, you're in this." Max said.

"Move, please." Lynn said losing her mind with Max.

"No."

"Just move or you'll get hurt." Do you're worst. Alex's death is already on my shoulders. "Alex?? You killed him?"

"No." Tess did.

"Tess killed Alex!"

"Lynn? What are you saying?" But Lynn didn't hear Liz. All she could hear was Max's thoughts.

How could she know that Tess killed Alex? Did she help her? Why was I so stupid? I should have listened to them. God what am I going to do? Tess is still pregnant.

"Oh my god." Lynn turned to Liz. "Gurl I am so sorry."

"What?" Lynn went to Liz.

"Tess killed Alex and now she's pregnant with Max's baby!" While everyone else gasped, Liz slowly fell to the floor. "I'm so sorry."

Michael, Kyle and Ava stood shocked while Lynn held Liz close. Isabel's head was buried in Michael's shoulder and her tears soaked up his shirt. She had tried to stay strong but she couldn't. Hearing Lynn say it out loud broke her gates.

"How did you-? But I-? When did you-?" Max studdered.

"Hold ya tongue, homie." Ava said, though she wanted to scream. "I told ya dat she was da anicent power."

"Anicent power?" Now everyone was at attention.

"Yea." Ava said moving away from Max.

"Hell nah." Lynn shook her head. "i ain't no anicent power."

"Then wut are you?"

"I'm different."

**********************

"Look, I know you're not stupid Jeff. Liz's 'normal' friends aren't even normal. Can't chu feel it?" Jen asked.

She and Jeff were closing down the cafe when Liz's 'friends' asked if they could talk to Liz. Of course, Jen was quick to tell them no but Jeff beat her to it. Only he said sure and sent them up.

"Of course I know that they're not normal but Liz is a smart girl." Jeff sadi as he did the dishes.

"So her hanging out with potential aliens, is cool with you but her learning to be who she really is is not?" Jen asked. "What if something happens ta her because of these new friends of h ers?"

"Jen, do you hear yourself? Nothing'll happen to Liz. Shje's a Parker, a powerful witch just like you and Lynn only she's never been taught."

"That's because you won't let me teach her."

"Just drop it, Jen. Liz is safe and even if she isn't, then Lynn will keep her that way."

"You really think that Jeff?" Jen stood only a few feet from her older brother.

"Yes I do because Lynn is a very powerful witch. Maybe the most powerful and she loves Liz enough to save her. Now go refill the sugars."

"Yes sir." Jen joked.

***************************

(in space)

"So everything is ready to land on Earth?" Kivar asked the skinny man in front of him.

"Yes sir."

"Good. Now get me Tess. She shall be pleased to know that we are ready."

"Yes sir." The skinny solider ran to the computers an sent out the vibrations. 2 minutes later, Tess was on the other line.

"Dearest Tess."

"Kivar?"

"I have called to tell you that we are soon to be ready to land."

"That is great news."

"I am sure it is. NOw! I want you to meet us by links 243 on axis 131."

"So incase, you want me to meet you in the middle of no where?"

"Yes."

"Not a problem. Everything here is on terms and you shall have the royal 3 at your beck and hand."

"Good to know. Bye." Before Tess could say bye, Kivar cut her off. "She was always a tiresome with h er sucking up." then Kivar smiled. "At least she gave much better than she'll get."

***********************

Tess looked down at the transmitter that Nasado gave her with a confused look. Then she looked back at the mirror in front of her. All her bruises were gone and she looked normal. Putting down the transmitter, Tess grabbed her jacket and walked out. She needed to do one more thing before Kivar got there.

Chapter 22

"What do you mean different?" Max and Ava both took a step back forming a connection just in case.

"I'm just...how do I say this?" Lynn looked down at Liz. "Witches. I'm a witch. And so is Liz."

*********

No one had said anything until Nancy came down stairs and told them that it was time to leave. Liz didn't say anything either until she met up with Lynn in the hallway near Lynn's room.

"Um Lynn?"

"Yea Liz?"

"Can you met me in a little while? I just have some.....questions."

"Sure." At around 9 or 10 oclock, Lynn went to Liz's room only to find it empty.

Normally, it would be weird to Lynn that Liz wasn't in her room while she, Lynn, was. But for some reason, she stayed. After a few minutes through, she heard cracking. At first, Lynn thought that it was nothing until she heard it get louder as she passed the living room. Downstairs, Lynn thought to herself. So she went downstairs . There she saw Liz, Kyle, Maria and the others from before.

"Finally." Maria huffed. "I thought we were going to have to wait-."

"Shut up, Ria." Lynn snapped, totally forgetting about her almost see-through dark green top and booty shorts.

"Rude much? And I thought you said that you weren't a tramp?" Isabel snapped but Lynn wasn't listening to her. "Hel-."

Suddenly the roof to the cafe caved in. There were gasps, screams and dusts of fog that filled the cafe, covering everything in darkness.Then in the middle of the darkness, Max and Ava created a light that filled the room revealing Lynn standing with her arms in the air. She was holding up the ceiling with a dark black glow.

"Lynn?"

"Sam?"

**************

After fighting like always, Sam and Dean decided to go visit the girls. Of course, Sam kept on pushing Dean about his feelings for Liz and that was why Dean had a plan. Sammy wants to play, then let's play. Dean thought to himself as he dug into his pockets for something to get back at Sam. But as they neared the Crashdown, it caved in.

"Holy shit. Did you just see that?" Dean asked Sam. "That could've done some serious damage if anyone was in there. Right Sammy?" Silence. "Sammy?" Dean turned to Sam. "Dude, what's wrong?"

"They were in there."

"Who?"

"All of them."

"Who is do you mean 'all of-?"

"I mean the entire group that we've been researching. Max, Michael, Isabel, Ava, Maria, Kyle, Liz and Lynn. They're all still in there."

"Holy shit."

It was as if his legs couldn't hold him anymore because down Dean went with tears in his eyes. Sam, on the other hand, covered his face, hiding the tears. Then out of the darkness, Dean saw a light. It was dim at first but then it brightened revealing the group unharmed. But all dean saw was Liz standing next to kyle in the corner. She was wearing dark red pajamas. God she looked so good, Dean thought to himself. But then Dean heard Sam say something that made him look at Lynn.

"Lynn?" The guys ran in to the cafe.

"Sam?"

"How are you-? What are you-?" Sam was at a loss of words. Never had he thought there was something different about Lynn. Well other than her mom.

"No time. We have to find a way to help her." Liz said wasting no time.

"Liz is right." Michael said pushing pass Sam. "How can I help?"

"Just get my mom or uncle Jeff. They'll noe wut 2 da." Nobody moved. "Juss trust me." Assholes.

Liz nodded her head and ran out of the cafe with Dean behind her. As they went up the stairs, Dean suddenly stopped Liz, making her look at him. Then he pulled her into his arms.

"You okay, Dean?" Liz asked looking up at him. "You seem a little..."

"Lost?" Liz nodded. "Cause I am."

"Why?" Liz pushed away from Dean ever so slightly.

Dean let out a shakey sigh. "Look, I've never been good at this."

"At what?"

"All this mushy bullshit."

"Then say what you mean."

Dean smiled. "I think I'm falling for you."

"Good, cause I think I'm falling for you." Liz said while giggling. Then she pushed off her heels and captured Dean's mouth with her own.

The kiss had started out innocent enough until Dean's hand traveled down the length of Liz's thigh just bearly lifting her in the process. Liz moaned as she felt Dean's hard-on against her heat as Dean lifted her the rest of the way. Her own hands ran through Dean's hair making both of them forget about the task from before. The slip of a strap, the desposal of a leather jacket and the building heat was all they could remember.

"Liz?" A voice said but it was so...so....so far. "Oh my god."

"What is it Maria?" Liz and Dean pulled apart just in time to see Max, Isabel and Kyle rush in.

"Oh god." Liz mumbled as she buried her head into Dean's chest.

"I thought you guys went upstairs to get help?" Isabel asked, trying to sound like the 'Ice Princess' she was but failing.

"You see, we were until Liz purposely attacked me." Liz's head snapped up quick and she could see both the smiles on Kyle and Isabel while both Maria and Max looked shocked.

"She did?" Maria snapped.

"Yeah she-."

"Look." Liz cut Dean off. "Let's just go and get my dad and my aunt. You guys don't need to know what was happening. Now Dean," Liz turned to Dean. "to my ro- I mean to the apartment. The apartment."

Dean smirked at the group but did as he was told. He turned still carrying Liz and walked up the remaining steps. As he turned the corner, Liz watched with unaffected eyes as Max turned to Maria and Kyle and Isabel tried not to laugh. Without a problem, Dean opened the front door, walked in and closed it behind him.

"To your room?"

"I couldn't agree more." Liz turned to see Jenny sitting alone in the living room. "Only, she'll go alone while you go home." Liz slid off Dean and ran to Jenny.

"Aunt Jenny, you won't believe me but I need you-."

"What? Not to tell your dad?" jenny scoffed.

"Yes, I mean no. Lynn needs your help." That got her attention.

"What's wrong?"

"Some how the ceiling of the cafe caved in and now Lynn is-."

"Let's go." Jenny said cutting Liz off.

She was quick to race down the stairs while keeping Liz in front and Dean behind her. Once they reached the cafe and walked in, Jenny felt like her heart was going to break. There in the middle of the cafe stood Lynn alone while the others just watched her.

"Ma!"

"What the hell are you doing?" Jenny asked as she stood in front of Lynn.

"Having a tea party with all my favorite stars. She there's Avril Lavigne, Dave Grolls, Pete Wence, Ben Affleck, Jared Padilleci, Michelle Branch, Sheryl Crow, and that guy who plays Alec on Dark Angel."

"I know him. He's cool but I'm totally better looking than he is." Dean said from behind Liz. Everyone turned to him. "What?"

Jenny shook her head and then looked back to Lynn. "Not, what are you DOING? I mean 'WHAT are you doing?'"

"Didn't she just say that?" Kyle asked.

"Yeah." Liz smield.

"But that makes no sense."

"To us, no but to Lynn, maybe." Isabel pattedKyle on his back.

"Culdn't let all dese people die, noe culd I?"

Jenny atopped tothink. "True." Then she glanced at the 9 other people in the room. "Fine. Lynn, I want you to stay here while I patch this up."

"Wasn't going anywhere anyway." Lynn joked.

"Ha ha, smart ass. Just stay still and ya'll need to stay out da way."

When everyone nodded, Jenny closed her eyes while oitnting to where the ceiling was off. At first, nothing happenedbut then a low humming filled the room and suddenly the ceiling was back above them.

With the weigh gone, Lynn dropped to the floor. Liz and Jenny were the first next to her while the others just watched.

"Is she okay?" Liz asked. Lynn's eyes weere closed and her skin was a pasty yellow instead of her easy honey color.

"She's fine."

"Then why does she look like she's dying?" Sam snapped. He and Dean were now also with Lynn.

"Because she useda lot of power but after a good night's sleep, she'll be fine."

Liz and the others watched as Sam carried Lynn upstaris with Jenny right behind him. The whole day had went from weird to crazy and now all Liz wanted to do was be alone with Dean one more time before chaos hit them again.

"Guess you guys can leave." Liz said as she walked over to the front door. The cafe looked brand new after Jenny's 'spell' so there was nothing left to do but lock up. "Ya'll can always come over tomorrow."

"We can help. I can help!" Max pleaded softly.

"There's nothing left to do Max," Liz walked over to Dean's waiting arms and Max saw how happy she was.

"So leave." Dean smirked. "Liz needs to get to bed."

Both Ava and Kyle bit their lips while Max and Michael shifted uncomfortably. Maria and Isabel on the other hand were quick to the punch.

"What about you? Are you going to tuck her in?" Isabel asked.

"Sure. Why not? I mean," Dean glanced down at Liz. "There's no point in leaving her cold when we're done."

"Done with what?" Maria questioned.

Again, Ava and Kyle had to stop themselves from laughing. Only this time, Ava turned away from the group while Kyle covered his mouth wth his hand.

"I think you know what, Maria." Dean's smirk widen.

Liz felt her cheeks burn. "Okay! That was fun but um, we-I mean I-I have to get to bed. So bye." Liz removed herself from Dean's side and walked back to the front door.

"Fine!" Isabel turned on her heel and walked out first. Then Michael and Maria were right behind her.

"Be good chice." Maria said as she gave Liz a hug. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do."

"Don't worry. She'll be good. It's me who'll make her do bad things."

Everyone's mouth dropped open while Ava and Kyle finally burst out laughing. Liz had to bite her lip so that she wouldn't join her two friends.

"Okay then. Bye." Liz pushed everyone else out before anyone could say anymore.

After Michael and Maria were gone, Ava and Kyle walked out, both smiling at Liz. Max was the last one out. His face was sunken with pain and it looked like he was about to cry. Liz felt really bad but he had brought this on, not her. Ever since Alex died, Max had been pulling away and now that Tess was pregnant, Liz didn't think she'll ever look at Max the same way again.

"Bye Liz."

"Bye Max." When the door closed and Liz locked it, she turned to Dean with her hands on her hips.

"What?"

"Did you have to say all that?"

"Oh come on, Liz. You're other friends thought it was funny." Dean said as he walked over to her.

"No 'Come on, Liz'." Dean stopped himself from laughing.

"Okay, okay." Dean said inches from Liz. "I'll go apologize to them tomorrow and sleep in my hotel room tonight."

"You better not!" Liz pratically yelled as she stopped Dean.

"I better not, what?" Dean played as he turned to Liz.

"You know what." Liz said shyly.

"No, I don't. Tell me what I better not do or I go back to my hotel." Dean watched as Liz dragged her bottom lip into her mouth and gently bit on it. He wanted so much to bend her over right then and there but he had to keep his cool.

"Why do you make me so bad?"

"I just do. Now say it."

"You better not leave." Liz bluttered out.

"Why?" Liz blushed. "Why Liz?"

"Because I want you to do bad things to me."

Dean let out a fustrated grow, as he lifted Liz up and carried her to her room while she giggled all the way there.

*************

"Damn it." Tess watched as everyone walked out of the cafe alive. "Damn it. That should have worked. What the fuck happened?"

Tess moved out of the shadows and watched as Liz and the agent flirted so openly. GodI hate her, Tess thought to herself as she turned on her heel and walked back to her hotel. Tomorrow Kivar lands and Tess would be free.

*************

"She'll be good tomorrow?" Sam asked for the millionth time.

"Yeah, for the last time. Now would you shut up?" Jenny snapped as she wrung out Lynn's pink rag and pressed it against Lynns head.

"Sorry I'm acting so weird. It's just-."

"I know what it is and I guess I better go."

"Why?"

"So that you can strip down to sleep next to her." Sam's mouth dropped. "What? I'm not a complete bitch."

CHapter 23

The next day, Liz was jarred awaake by the ringing of her phone. Dean shot up while Liz just reached out for her phone.

"Hello?" She said in a groggy tone.

"Wut up, gurly? Still banging da help?"

"Ava, I was just sleeping. Yesterday was a very-."

"Jacked up day? Yea I noe but dat still ain't mean dat chu didn't get sum." Liz looked at Dean, who had finally laid back down and smiled.

"A good girl never kisses and tells." On Ava's side of the phone, Liz heard a man laugh. "Oh my god Ava. Here you are talking about me when you obviously got sum too."

"Hell nah. Dats Mikey boy. I'z got chu on speaker."

That was when Liz shot up. "What? Why?"

""Oh yea. Maxie boy here wants ya'll to meet us at da pod chambers, I think," Liz could practically see Ava turning to Michael to make sure she was right. "Yea datz wut itz called." Pause. "Now Ria and Kyle already noe da plan so allz you gotta do is bring Lynn and dosez 2 fine pieces of sexy asses dat ya call ya men." Now it was Liz's turn to laugh.

"Okay but I can't make any promises. Mom and dad said that they were leaving this morning, so we might be late." Liz heard Ava laugh and Michael choke into the phone. "Be careful there Michael. I would hate it if you choked to death."

"Dat wasn't Mikey boy." Liz hit her head and then ran her fingers through her hair. "Dat was Max."

"Sorry."

"No problemo, cornball. Just get ta da p.c. by 7. Got it?"

"Got it. Bye." Liz closed her phone before Ava (or Max) could say anything else.

"What timedo you have to meet them?" Dean asked as he rubbed Liz's lower back.

"Not until 7 tonight but Ava says that both you and Sam gotta come with us." That was when Dean sat up.

"Liz, I gotta tell you something about your friends."

"Yeah Dean. What is it?" Please don't say you know about the aliens. Please.

"Your friends aren't human. I don't even think they're from this planet."

Damn it.

"What do you mean?" Liz asked. She had to play dumb. Even through he's seen Ava use her powers, it didn't mean that it was Liz's secret to tell.

"I mean, I think your friends are a part of the supernatural world." She had to do something. If Dean kept on talking about her 'friends' then she would break, so on instinst, Liz leaned into Dean and kissed him softly. "So you already know." Dean said and Liz kissed him again. "So you're not gonna tell me?" Liz smirked at Dean before pushing him down onto the mattress and climbing on top of him. "Now this is more like it."

"Shh. My parents haven't left yet."

"What?" Dean shot up with Liz still on top of him. "I thought you said-." A quick knock hit the door, cutting Dean off in mid sentence.

"Lizzie-bear, are you awake?"

"It's my mom!" Liz whispered to Dean.

"Duh."

"Then hide." Liz turned to the door. "Yeah mom, just give me a minute." Liz looked back at Dean. "Why aren't you hiding?"

"Cause you're kind of on me and we're still..." Dean smirked at Liz. "Attached."

Liz couldn't help but smile back at him. Then she slowly eased herself off of him and genlty pushed him to the bathroom, while grabbing her robe. Making sure she was good, Liz jumped over her bed and opened the door.

"Hey mom. What's up?"

"Nothing. I just wanted to let you know that dad and I are laving now." Nancy smiled at Liz and reached out to touch her hair. "Baby, your hair is so, so....musty. Maybe you should wash it?"

"I will mom. I was just about to take a bath, so there is nothing to worry about."

"I'm your mom, Liz. When are you going to learn that I always worry about you." Liz smiled. Don't I know it, she thought as her mom rambled on about when she was a baby.

"Mom!"

"Huh?"

"I think daddy is waiting for you." Then they heard Jeff chuckle.

"Ain't that the truth." He said as he passed them to go to the livingroom.

"Smartass." Nancy said as she watched her husband. Then she turned back to Liz. "Okay baby girl. We'll see you in a couple of days. We've got another convention to go to."

"Not a problem, mom. I'll be good." Liz heard Dean laugh.

"What was that?"

"Nothing mom. I just...left the radio on in the bathroom. So you better get going." Liz gave her mom a quick kiss and then watched as her mom and dad left the house.

Liz quickly closed her door and locked it. Then she walked over to her window and opened the curtains. The sun was so bright yet so beautiful that Liz was captived by it. She didn't even notice Dean walk out of the bathroom until he wrapped his arms around him.

"Did I scare you?" Dean asked when he felt Liz jump a little.

"Just a little. I guess I knid of forget about you." Liz teased as she tilted her head to the side.

"Then let me refresh your memory."

***************

Tess stood at the location Kivar had given her and waited. Kivar should be landing soon and when he did, Tess would show him to the others.

Folding her arms across her chest, Tess could feel the soft mist and coolness of the very rare desert breeze. Yeah it's time, Tess thought as she heard the humming of Kivar's spaceship. She wasn't surprised that she couldn't see it but she knew it had to be huge.

Slowly, Tess began walking to what she saw as the entrance. Sure enough, both Kivar and his S.I.C., Vito, appeared in front of her, neither smiling.. Stopping short, Tess clumsly bowed.

"So nice to see you Kivar." Tess greeted as she stood up right. "Vito."

"Tess." The S.I.C. stated.

"It is well to see you, Ava. Or is it Tess? I just can not keep up with you." Before Tess could answer. Kivar spoke. "Never mind. SHow me to the others."

****************

Lunn woke up to someone giggling even though she could see that Sam was asleep. Sam? He must have stayed with her last night. Getting up from bed, Lynn smiled down at his sleeping form. But then she heard the giggling again. It was coming from outside of the room. Slowly, Lynn walked to the door and opened it.

Just then, she saw two 3 year olds run from Liz's room and into the kitchen. Following them, she saw that the girls were her and Liz. They were laughing and playing like they use to. This must be a memory, Lynn thought but then little Liz walkedover to her.

"No go into da desert. Da bad man is dere."

Before Lynn could ask little Liz what she meant, something broke in the living room. Turning to see what it was, Lynn saw Liz at 10. She was walking out the apartment. Looking back, little Liz was gone.

I guess I follow the other Liz.

As she stepped outside, Lynn walked into a park. Kids were running everywhere, laughing, smiling and having a good time but she didn't care about them. All Lynn cared about was Liz and finding her. Then as if she could read Lynn's mind, 10 year old Liz walked in front of her.

"Why am I here?" Lynn asked the younger version of Liz.

"Because if you go into the desert, then the bad man is going to get you."

"What do you mean?"

"Look." Liz pointed at someone in the distance.

"Who is that?" Lynn asked looking at a man with brown hair. But Liz said nothing. "Liz?" Lynn turned back to see no one there. She was alone again. "Damn it."

Lynn turned back to see if the man was still there and then took off after him. When she finally reached him, Lynn saw that it was Max.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to ask for your help." Then in front of her eyes, Max turned into someone totally different.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Kal and I need your help." Suddenly he fell to the floor and blood spilled from his mouth.

"Oh my god. What's wrong with you?" Lynn dropped to Kal's side only to find herslf in a black poka-dot dress with a red belt. "What the hell? Kal?" But when Lynn looked back at Kal, he was gone.

"Time for a little fun." Lynn heard a familiar voice say. When she turned around, she saw Tess standing there with a smile on her face. "Party time."

Chapter 24

After hanging up with Liz, everyne seemed to be in their own worlds. Max was pissed that Liz was sleeping with Dean like it meant nothing to him. Isabel was pissed at Max because he still wouldn't let her go to college. Michael was a little irritatted because Maria had left him over 30 messages saying that they really needed to talk and Ava was....Well, Ava just couldn't stop smiling.

"Well, we're leaving." Max stated as he walked to the door. Isabel just rolled her eyes as she got up to follow him. Even with Tess gone, he was still acting like he owned them all. What the hell was wrong with him.

"Wuteva, duke. Mikey boy & me is gonna stay in and watch sumthing." Ava told him. She was the only one who Max wasn't messing with and that was because she was the only one who REALLY stood up to him.

"We'll meet you guys in the pod chambers at 6." Max stated.

"What? Why?" Michael snapped.

"Because I said so and because we need to be ready before Liz brings Lynn, Dean and Sam." Max said turning back to Michael. "Because like it or not, they're evil. All 3 of them are against us and you've all been too blind by their looks to see it."

"Wuteva chu say Maxie boy." Ava rolled her eyes. "Now get da hell out before ya'll neva leave." Max was about to say something when Isabel stopped him.

"She's right. We were suppose to be at home 20 minutes ago. Mom is gonna freak."

"Fine!" Max snapped. "But we'll finish this later."

"Yes master." Ava said in her best southren impression. "Just please don't beat me. Please dont. I'll neva talk back ta ya again." Both Michael and Isabel had to bite their lips to stop from laughing out loud.

Max grumbled something but turned and left with Isabel behind him. Back in the apartment, both Ava and Michael were having a hard time trying to stop laughing. It was too funny. Even through Max was being a complete asshole, it was always fun to watch him get mad. Especically when it was one of them who pissed him off on purpose.

When the laughter died out, Ava got up, wiped her eyes and went to the kitchen to get something to eat.

"So you really think that they're on our side?" Michael asked. He knew the answer, he just neeeded to hear it every now and again.

"Yes but chu already noe dat, so why don't chu juss ask me da real question?" Michael chuckled as Ava walked back to the couch.

"Fine. Do you think that SAM is on our side. I mean, he's always holding his head or talking to Dean about something but never to the group. Something is off with him." That made Ava think.

"Well. He did come herre wit Dean and they is brothers. Plus Lynn is wit him and she is good people. So if both Dean and Lynn is good people den Sammy is too. Rite?"

"I guess." Michael stood up and walked into the kitchen.

"Yo, I get it now."

"Get what?" Micheal dropped his bowl into the sink. Then he turned to Ava when she didn't say anything. "Ava?" She was staring at him with those big blue eyes and a huge smile on her lips. "What?"

"U is so into Lynn. I can't believe I didn't see it before but now, I see it. Damn I'm dense." Then Ava chuckled. "Sammy boy all up in it. I hear ya but chu gotta be a little less....wut's da real word?" Ava snapped her fingers until she remembered. "Obvious."

"Obvious?" Michael ran his fingers through his hair. "Didn't know I was even being seen."

"Oh hell ye. You is being seen. Everyone is talking 'bout it. Max, Iz, Liz. And Ria is pissed. Dats why she keeps wit da calls."

"Great." Michael walked back to the couch and dropped don next to Ava.

"You got dat rite." The room fell silent as Ava fixed her self on the couch. "You wanna go see her?"

Michael turned to Ava. "You for real?"

"No doubt dog."

"Then lets go."

****************************

Sam woke up to a banging on the door. It would start then stop and then start all over again. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, Sam remembered that he had locked the door right after Jenny had left.

"In a minute." Sam slolwy slid out of bed and over to the door. When he opened it, he saw both Liz and Dean already dressed. "Yeah?"

"Dude. We've been banging on the door for like 5 minutes. What have you been doing all day?" Then Dean really looked at Sam and smirked. "You no good dog."

"No, Dean. We weren't doing.......that. We've just been sleeping. Yesterday was a tiring day." Sam said as he rolled his eyes.

"Yeah Dean." Liz giggled as she elbowed him. "Not everyone does that in the morning."

"Just us." He smirked again.

"Ew." Sam turned to Lynn then back to Dean and Liz. "We'll be-." Sam started but stopped when he heard Lynn say something. "Lynn?"

At first, no one could understand what she was saying. It just sounded like she was mumbling something. Then as Sam got closer to her, it was as if a fog had been lifted and he could hear everything.

"Don't go into the desert. Don't go into the desert. She's there. She's there. Don't go into the desert." Then she was quiet. "I have miles to go before I sleep, miles to go before I sleep."

"What is she saying?" Liz asked from right behind him. At first she tried to keep Dean from seeing something but then she felt a pull and had to walk in.

"She's saying,'Don't go into the desert. Don't go into the desert. She's there. She's there. Don't go into the desert. I have miles to go before I sleep, miles to go before I sleep.' What the hell does that mean?"

Liz's mouth dropped open as she stumbled back into Dean. How did Lynn know about the desert? Why did Lynn say that she has miles to go before she sleeps? Is Alex with her? Is he helping her? How is-?

"Liz, you okay?"

That was when Liz felt Dean's arms wrap around her. She didn't know why but she suddenly felt safe.

"Yeah, it's just that we were suppose to meet the others in the desert and the 'miles to go before I sleep things' is what Alex had written on a bill the day he died." Liz turned to look at Dean. "It was from a poem by Robert Frost."

"So?"

"So I didn't tell Lynn about either thing. I was with you this morning and I was too depressed to bring the poem up to Lynn. SHe would have flipped out."

"Why?"

"It was the same poem that she and Alex had said held meaning to each other. They had given it to each other on her birthday 3 years ago. I think they may have been in love." She whispered, not wanting Sam to hear. But he had heard it and knew it wasn't true.

Lynn had told him about Alex. She had thought that she was in love with him but knew that he was in love with Isabel. It killed her when she left but then she would smile at him and say 'well at least it brought me to you'.

Dean on the other hand was shocked. He knew that Lynn was powerful but not that powerful. There had to be something she was not telling them. Yeah she saved everyone when the roof caved in and now with the desert but was she a good witch? Is that even possible?

"No way in hell is that possible." Dean thought out loud.

"What do you mean it's not possible?" Liz questioned moving away from Dean. "Anything is possible."

"I'm sure it is but-."

"But nothing. Lynn is very powerful. We all saw that last night. So maybe she know something that we don't."

"Like another worldly connection?" Sam asked from the bed.

"Something like that."

"That's all good and dandy but think about what you're saying. There is no way she is....Good! Trust me. Inour line of work, we've never seen someone or something like Lynn before." That was the short end of the circult for Liz.

"What because you work for the FBI, it automatically means you've seen everything and everyone this planet has to offer?!!" Liz yelled while SAm covered his face trying not to how that he was dying laughing.

"Well I-."

"Well it doesn't!" Liz stomped over to Lynn but then the bell rang. "Damn it."

She stomped pass Dean, giving him a dirty look and to the front door. She wasn't really mad at Dean. She was more mad at herself because she felt like she was losing her grip on life. Yeah she put up a front but there was so much more. So much pain underneath it all and it really scared her. And now this thing with Lynn. It was like God was trying to tell h er something. Damn it. She was fighting a losing battle and she didn't know what the hell to do. I need your help Alex, she thought as she opened the door.

"Wutz up gurl?"

****************

Back in the room, Dean looked shocked. Liz hadn't even let him explain what he meant. She just blew up at him.

"So how does your foot taste in your mouth?" Sam said bursting out laughing.

"Shut up Sammy. It's not funny. I have no clue how to deal with anything anymore." Dean said as he dropped his arms to his sides.

"You mean 'Liz' right, because if not-?"

"Of course I mean Liz. She's smart, funny, sexy and the sex is amazing-."

"Thanks for the image."

"Whatever Sam. Just tell me what I should do?"

"Just tell her man." Sam said sitting at the top of the bed. "Tell her the truth. She might surprise you."

"Yeah I'm sure." Dean snapped. Just the thought of telling Liz made him uncomfortable. "She's gonna come running into my arms after I tell her that we hunt and kill the supernatural bad asses of the world. yeah right. The last time I did that, the girl walked out of my life."

"You mean Cassie?"

"I don't want to talk about it, so drop it." Dean walked oer to the door. "And get dress. We got thing to do and an alien to kill." Then he was gone.

Sam was shocked how quickly his brother shut down, It was one thing with Cassie but now with Liz. No wonder he never got close to anyone. He was afraid to get his heart broken. Sam glanced at Lynn. Well Dean was an idiot.

"Baby, you gotta get up. It's already the afternoon." When Lynn didn't make her cute little moan and open her gorgeous brown eyes, Sam decided to shake her a bit. "Lynn. You gotta get up." Nothing. "Lynn?" Sam shook her harder than before but nothing happened. She looked dead. "Lynn?" This time when she didn't move, Sam panicked. "Baby you gotta wake up." Suddenly, cuts and brusies appeared all over her face. "Liz! Dean! Jenny! Somebody! Anybody! Help!"

*******************

Lynn stood chained to a wall in a room that looked like a torture chamber. It was dark everywhere except for a few candles here and there. That bitch had done a number on her. First it was just words. Tess had told Lynn how she was going to kill everyone she loved. Then came the whip. Tess whipped Lynn until she couldn't stand up and the only thing holding her was her chains.

The only reason she was alone right now was because Tess said that she needed something.

"There's gotta be a way out." Lynn said wishing Tess at least gave her something else to wear. The stupid little black pok-a-dotted dress was now ripped and covered in her blood. A cold breeze swept pass Lynn making her shiver. And in it's wake left something behind. A small child. When Lynn looked closer, she saw that it was herself at 5.

"Dere is. But you gotta really want it."

"What?"

"Like mommy always says. You gotta want to be there so that you ARE there."

"That makes-."

"God, is your boyfriend always this annoying?" Lynn heard Tess asked from the door. Her younger self was gone and in her place was Tess. With a butcher's knife. "I mean, come on. Can't a girl with your looks get some sleep? Or a better looking boyfriend?" She asked in her now very annoying bubblegum, lollipop voice that Lynn hates so much.

"I don't know Tess. I mean I love Sam, so sleep and/or another guys is out of the question. Plus her's only annoying to you." Lynn said immatting Tess' voice. "Or it could be that he wants a quick fuck? Either way, he wants me but you're in the way."

"Damn skippy." Tess said as she lifted the knife into the air. "Now, I gotta get going and Kivar wants no mess so, any last words?"

Lynn thought about it and then remembered what her younger self said. 'You gotta want to be there so that you ARE there.' What the hell did she mean? All Lynn ever wanted was a....piece...of mind. That was it. They were in her head. Smiling, Lynn looked Tess in the eye and said;

"You're a bitch and no one like you."

Without warning, Tess' hand dropped with the knife still in her grip like a plane crashing but Lynn knew she wouldn't die. Or rather couldn't. She closed her eyes and remembered a spell that her mom made her do when she was younger.

The pain never came and Lynn knew that the spell worked. When she opened her eyes, Tess was shocked. The knife handle still in her hand but the blade on the floor. Everything had been perfect until now; the beatings, the whipping but the was suppose to kill her. Instead, the knife never even pierced her skin.

"What the fuck are you?" Tess hissed as she dropped the knife and backed away from Lynn.

"Human." Slowly the chains turned into vinces and slipped off her rists, letting Lynn slip to the floor. "Thank god." She said as she rubbed her rists and then her ankles.

"Impossible! That was a second direct hit and both times, you've survived. What the hell are you?"

"Like I said. Human. Now here's something for you. When in another's head, you might wanna make sure they don't find out. Bye bye now." Lynn got up and walked over to Tess and literally shoved her out of her head. "Now." Lynn glanced around the dark dungeon. "It's time to break out of this joint.

Tricked inside,

Locked in mind, not body,

Wanting to be outside,

So I can be somebody!"

Chapter 25

It had been a crazy afternoon. After Sam told everyone what had happened, they all took turns trying to wake her up. Ava and Jenny tried connecting to her but were stopped by something or someone. So Michael and Dean shook her with no result. When it was Liz's turn, all Liz could see was Alex's funeral. Only instead of Alex being lowered into the ground, it was Lynn.

"I can't."

"Then don't try." Jenny told her as she walked over to Lynn. "It might just kill you."

"What?" Dean yelled by accident.

"I said-." Jenny started but Liz stopped her.

"Nothing. I'll call Max and Isabel. Maybe they can help?" Liz turned and walked out before anyone could object.

"Give her time." Jenny suddenly said as she wiped Lynn's face with a damp rag.

"What?" Sam asked.

"Not you." She turned to Dean. "Him."

"What?" Dean asked.

"Give her time. Liz has been through alot and you're secret will only complacate things. Tell her when all has settled." Dean was going to say something but stopped when he saw Liz walk in.

"They said they'd be here soon."

"Okay." Jenny nodded her head as she got back to what she had been doing.

All these kids, she thought. All these kids have a secret that they can't share with the others. Liz's fear of forever being alone, Ava's living with people who don't really love her, Sam's being without Lynn, Dean's wanting to settle down and have a family and Michael's fear of finding his planet but realizing that this is where he belonged. They all had fear in them and all their fear was clouding their judgement.

If Ava would open up, she'd realize that Michael thinks of her as a little sister. For Michael, he should be able to see that Earth is his planet, not some far off one. Here is where he has family, friends, love. Jenny looked at her niece.

Never will she be alone. It was hard to get rid of Parker women but since her heart has been boken so many times by just one boy, then maybe with Dean's help, she'll see what life really has in store for her while also helping him put his fear to rest. As for Sam, well....

"They're here." Liz said.

"Oh good." Jenny stood up and walked to the front door with Liz behind her.

"Ya think she's gonna kill'em for being 3 minutes late?" Ava asked. "Cause I do."

"I don't think this is a good time to joke around, Ava." Michael snapped. Sometimes she was just like a little girl.

"I ain't. Didn't ya c her? She was staring at us like she was gonna kill us. I for one, ain't up fa dying." Ava told him while putting her hands on her hips. " Holy hell, wherez is dey?"

As if on cue, Max, Isabel, Liz and Jenny all walked in. Max took a quick glance around but notice Michael and Ava first. Yeah he knew that Ava and Liz were friends but why would Michael be here? Then there was Dean and Sam. It was obvious that Sam spent the night since he was in his boxers but Dean. What was his excuse?

"Liz?" He asked. She looked from him to Dean and then back again.

"Lynn needs your help. She hasn't woke up and they all tried. I called cause maybe you can, you know or Isabel can do that thing she does."

"I don't think-." But Lynn was already up. Her brown eyes sparkling and her mouth open.

"I did it." She giggled. "I really did it." Her tiny hands roamed over her face and then her body. She had to make sure that she was fully there. And she was.

"Did what baby?" Jenny asked. She had yet to sit back down and was by the window.

"Mom?" Lynn looked at everyone. "What are you guys all doing here?"

"You wuldn't wake up." Ava spoke slowly. "It was like u was died."

"Oh god." Lynn looked at Sam. "I'm okay. You see." She looked at Liz. "Fine as a duck in the water." They both had to be freaked.

"Well you weren't 5 minutes ago." Dean said.

"Um, can you give me a minute?"

"Why?" Michael questioned.

"I'm kind of in my pajamas. And yeah ya seen them yesterday but that was only because I had to stop the ceiling from falling. So please?"

"Okay." Michael nodded his head and walked out with Ava right behind him.

"Are you sure?" Liz asked.

"Yeah. I just gotta talk to Sam real quick. It'll take maybe 5 to 10 minutes. If we're not out by then, ya'll can come barge in. Deal?" Liz smiled.

"Deal." Then she turned to Dean. "Can we talk then?"

Dean looked at Jenny and saw her nodding. "Sure." He said.

"Great." Liz walked out with Dean right behind her. That only left,

"Mom?"

"What?"

"You need to leave too. I wanna talk to Sam first."

"Well I never." Jenny scoffed but she walked out anyway, closing the door behind her.

"So what did you want to talk about?"

"I have to tell you something."

"I already know that you're a witch. I mean, how else would you be able to hold an entire ceiling up with these tiny hands?" He asked pulling her hands into his.

"So you're okay with this?" She asked a little scared. She didn't know what she would do if Sam were to reject her just because she was apart of the superntural world.

"Am I okay with it? You tell me." Sam pulled Lynn closer and kissed her.

*********************

Liz and Dean stood on either side of her bed, just looking at each other. Neither knew what to say or how to start. They both were at fault here, him with his big mouth and her with hers but there was one thing.

"I'm sorry." Liz finally said. "I'm sorry for blowing up on you and I'm sorry for acting like a child. It's just that my family is my life and I hate it when someone talks about them. Even when it's someone who means something to me, like you."

"Liz," Dean walked around the bed. "There's something you have to know."

"Okay?" Liz waited while Dean tried to put his thoughts together.

He was actually going to tell another girl the truth when the first girl flipped out on him. Dean could still see Cassie's face when he told her. He had never seen her so pissed. Will Liz act the same way? He thought to himself. Only one way to find out.

"Liz, I'm a-."

"A yo Liz." Ava yelled as she walked into Liz's room. "Aunt Jenny wants u ta call Ria and Kyle."

"Why?" Liz asked turning from Dean.

"I ain't noe. Maybe cause dey is in dis too." Liz smiled.

"Right." She looked at Dean. "Raincheck?"

"Raincheck."

"Deal." Liz gave him a quick kiss before walking out of her room.

"U luv her!" Dean's head snapped to Ava.

"What?" He said walking pass her and into the livingroom. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Yea ya do. U luv Liz. I mean, really luv her." Ava smiled. "I can totally c it." Now it was Dean's turn to smile. "So do ya?"

"Maybe."

"Maybe."

"Maybe."

"Maybe what?" Michael asked as he, Max and Isabel all walked in from outside. He had filled them in on what they had missed.

"Nuthing." Ava said looking at Max. "Juss messin around. y'noe." Ava gave Michael a quick nudge, then mouthed 'Liz'.

"Oh." As if she knew they were talking about her, Liz walked in.

"Um, Ria and Kyle shuld be here soon but I wonder what's taking Lynn and Sam so long?" Then Dean really smirked.

"Bet it's what we were doing his morning." Av couldn't help but look at Liz in shock. Of course the reddness of Liz's cheeks gave her off.

"Nu'un, gurl. Y didn't chu tell me?"

"There was no time."

"Tell you what?" Max asked.

"Nothing." Liz said moving closer to Dean.

"Tell you what, Ava?" He snapped getting louder.

"That little Lizzie gets some every now and again from Dean. And it has to be good since I can clearly hear her screaming his name from my room and that is on the other side of the apartment." Jenny told him as she made her way to the couch. "God my feet hurt." When she noticed the silence, she looked up. "What? Was I not suppose to tell ya that BOTH my niece and daughter are screamers while the Winchester boys are groaners."

Michael, Ava and Dean all tried not to burst out laughing while Isabel, Max and Liz looked shocked. Not 5 seconds later did Kyle and Maria walked in.

"Hey guys." Maria smiled. "What's up?"

"Nothing." Jenny said as she shrugged her shoulders. "I was just telling everyone something about Liz and Lynn."

"Really?" Kyle asked sounding interested. The 3 laughing idiots bit their lips as they waited for Kyle to take the bait. "Can we know? I LOVE gossip."

"Well it's nothing really. You would think that it was something like the end of the world." Then she saw their faces. "But it ain't. It's just that Lynn and Liz happen to be screamers while Sam and Dean are groaners." Kyle burst out laughing but Maria didn't look like she got it.

"Huh? what's so funny? I don't get it. Why are they-?" But then Lynn helped her realize it.

"God, Sam. Stop it." They all heard her giggle.

"Oh." Then they all heard the door open and everyone went quiet.

Sam and Lynn walked out of her room, hand in hand from the only make-out session. They were both finally dress and were all smiles until they reached the livingroom.

"Did we miss something?" She asked, moving her bangs out of her face.

"Just your mom filling us in on things we shouldn't know." Max stated.

He still couldn't believe that THIS was Liz's family. They were nothing alike. Yeah they all had the same brown eyes and same color skin but other than that, nothing. Their live styles were different, their ideas on life, the way they all walk. Max could go on and on with all the differences.

"And what would that be?" Lynn asked a little scared. Her mom was really blunt and didn't care what others thought. It was a trait both her and Liz wished they had inherited but never got.

"That you're a screamer when it comes to sex. Just like my girl." Dean told her. Then he pointed at Liz and winked making her blush even more.

"Great!" Lynn turned to her mom. "I can't take you anywhere can I?"

"What?" She asked looking like she didn't do anything. Everyone just started laughing not knowing that trouble was just across town.

**********************

"I thought you said they were going to be here!" Kivar yelled.

"That was this morning when you first landed. If you hadn't taken your time then maybe we would be on your ship right now with their dead bodies!" Tess yelled back.

Kivar had taken so long, doing whatever it was that he did. That was why Tess messed with Lynn. She needed something to do and information. Why only play when you can get work out of it as well. But then that bitch got away from her. Next time, she thought to herself. Next time Lynn won't be so lucky.

"Tess?! TESS!!" Tess turned to Kivar.

"What?"

"Take me to the next best place."

"With pleasure." She said with evil dripping off of each word.

Chapter 26

"So what do ya'll need to know?" Jenny asked as she stood up and walked over to stand in front of the room. "I guess the shorter version is better for now since we have more pressing things to get to." She looked over at Dean and Liz and knew he hadn't told her.

"You got that right." Maria whispered. She still couldn't believe that Michael was here, at Liz's house apparently all day, before she even had a thought about her best friend.

"Well, I guess the best way to start is like this. All the people in the Parker family are witches. Our line of magic dates back farther than the witch trials and goes all the way to Spain." Jenny stated.

"What-what kind of magic do you guys have?" Sam asked out of no where. "Is it black or white magic?"

"There is no white or black in magic, Sam." Lynn said looking up at him. "Our magic doesn't define us. We define it."

"But I don't get it. I thought that there are two sides of magic and we- I mean- you are to choose?" Liz asked.

"There is but there isn't."

"I don't get it." Max stated.

"Look, it's like this. Magic is like a personality. We do what we must to be who we are. If I'm a bad person or a cold hearted bitch, then my magic would be the same way but I'm not and neither is Liz or Lynn."

"How do you know?" Max questioned Jenny. If he could just get her to say that she's evil, then he would be able to get everyone on his side again.

"Cause I would have let Lynn die each time she got into trouble."

"And I wouldn't have saved you all yesterday if I was a cold hearted bitch like mom so nicely put it." Lynn said looking at Max. She knew what he was thinking and it wasn't going to work. "There are no evil bones in our bodies and that is why we are all connected."

"Connected? What do you mean 'we're all connected'?" Dean asked, shifting in his seat.

"Not us." Lynn said indicating the intire room. "I meant 'us' as in 'family us'."

"How are we-?"

*Through thought.* Jenny told her in her head.

"Wow. That was...."

"Amazing?" Lynn finished for her.

"Yeah it was."

"What was? What just happened?" Maria rambled.

"Our family is connected through thought." Lynn told her. Then she turned to Max. "That's how she knew I was really her cousin and not just some psycho trying to kill you guys."

"Well that and other things." Liz told them, smiling.

"Like what other things?" Dean asked. If it was dirty, then he so wanted to know.

"Nothing like that, you perve." Jenny snapped. "They got tattoos the last time Lynn was here."

"Tattoos?" The Pod squad, Maria and Kyle all asked shocked. Both Lynn and Liz nodded their heads.

"Where and why haven't I seen it?" Maria asked. Then she saw Liz blush and Dean smirk. "Oh."

"What? I don't get...." Kyle trailed off. "No wonder you always wrapped a towel around you waist whenever we went to a pool or beach."

"I don't-." Max started but Lynn cut him off.

"It's right here." She unbuttoned her jeans and lowered her underwear just enough to show a small green tattoo. It was of 3 cresent moons. One on top of the other two that were side by side. "She's got the same one only it's in red. But we have other things to worry about." Lynn closed her jeans and sat back down. "I hate to be the bringer of bad news but here it is. Last night, while I was sleeping I was sucked into this place where Liz kept telling me not to go into the desert. Which is weird since we're not going into the desert."

"Actually, we were all suppose to meet in the desert." Liz told her. "But we heard your warnings."

"Okay. Well in the dream, Max came up to me but turned into an old man named Kal."

"Kal?" Ava questioned. "Why would he go to you?"

"He said that he needed my help but then died right in front of me without telling me what it was he needed help with."

"Oh no."

"But then Tess was in my dream." Max, Dean and Michael all turned to look at Lynn.

"Was she real?" Dean asked.

"Did she hurt you?" Michael questioned.

"Why didn't you tell us this before?" Max demanded.

"Yes, yes and because I had other things to do."

"So what did she do to you and how did you get out?" Kyle asked but was never answered because suddenly the front wall exploded leaving nothing in its wake.

"What the fuck was that?" Dean yelled as he slowly stood up. The explosion had hit them all sending them flying across the room.

"Honey, I'm home." Tess called out in a sing song voice as she and two men walked in. "Did you miss me?"

"How the fuck are you still alive? I shot you twice, once right near your heart and the other near your liver."

"The word is 'near', sweetheart."

"Enough." The blond next to Tess shouted. "I've only come here for the Princess. The others can burn for all I care."

"Who died and made Mr. Hottie McBossy in charge?" Jenny asked as she helped Liz and Ava up.

"Kivar?" Ava asked as she moved away from Jenny and next to Max. If this guy was really Kivar and they wanted to survive, then they were going to have to stay together as a unit.

"So the true Queen has spoken." Kivar spoke with such grace but it was the evil looking brunette next to him that held everyone's attention.

"Yes milord and what a queen she is." The brunette said licking his lips. "Unlike the one we got." Kivar chuckled.

"To answer your question, yes, I am Kivar. Now," Kivar reach out his hand. "Princess Vilondra, shall we go home?"

"I don't think so." Max, Kyle and Michael said at the same time. Isabel just stood shocked behind her brother as she watched the man who was suppose to have her heart but didn't.

"Aahhh. King Zan and his trusty second-in-command, Rath. It has truly been too long but she was mine before and shall be mine again."

"I don't think you heard me." Max said stepping forward. "Isabel is not going with you."

"Is that an order, young king?"

"Max?" Liz said skeptically. They were all in dangerous waters and here Max was jumping in head first instead of having a plan.

"Because if I remember correctly, it was your 'orders' that drove the young princess into my waiting arms."

Still Isabel said nothing. The others on the other hand, stood their grounds. Both Jenny and Lynn stood in front of all the humans while Dean and Sam had their guns behind their backs. Michael and Ava were also standing their grounds. Ava on Max's left and Michael on his right. Isabel was the only one who stood behind Max with nothing to protect herself.

*Come on baby, Lynn suddenly thought to everyone good in the room. Let's get this up and going.

"Well it's not gonna be the same this time." Kyle snapped, getting the ball moving.

"So young, so naive. Come sweetheart." One glance to Isabel was all they needed and it was all it took.

The brunette and Tess took the distraction as their way in. Blast after blast went towards the group; first hitting the royal four and then the others. Dust and skin filled the air, leaving it completely unseen. Then like a light in the dark, Isabel stood with her purple shield up.

"No surviviors, milord." Vito informed Kivar.

"Now that was what I have been wanting to hear for so very long, commander." Kivar turned to Isaebl who had now put her shield down and was looking at where her family and friends had once been. "My love?"

Slowly, Isabel walked to Kivar, clearly in a daze. Everyone she knew and loved was gone and he was all she had left. Him and Tess. Kivar's face was one of triumph as Isabel finally reached him and held onto him. She was his and that was all he needed. The only thing left was Tess.

"What now, sir?" Vito asked, awaiting his new orders.

"Dispose of Tess. Immidently!"

"With pleasure." Then Kivar and Isabel were gone.

Tess had been watching the whole seen and went along with it until Kivar's last order. Now all she was, was terrified.

"He was kidding, right? I mean I did everything that was told of me. I lied, I cheated, I killed Alex, one of their own without them knowing and then made Max think that I was pregnant after we had sex. I did everything that was told to me. Everything he wanted."

"And?" Vito's hand slowly started turning a light blue until the blast was ready. "Good-bye, Tess." And before she could react, Vito hit her with it and she was gone. "Dust. Just like the ones you betrayed and just the way I like you." Then Vito was gone, leaving behind nothing.

Chapter 27

"Finally!" Lynn and Ava exclaimed as they dropped onto the couch in union.

In that one second it took for everyone to turn and look at Isabel, it was in that same second that Lynn and Ava had joined hands to mind-warp Tess, Kivar, and his body guard, Vito. But it wasn't easy. Lynn had never done anything like mind-warping before and keeping up with Ava was hard but she did it and they had been great. Great until Ava almost passed out from using so much power.

She had stumbled a bit but was caught by Jenny. That was why Isabel had been seen. Lynn was so worried on keeping up her end that she didn't realize that Ava couldn't keep Isabel covered. Lynn turned to Kyle. She knew he knew what happened and that he wasn't really happy about it. Thank god he was taking it well. And so was everyone else.

"Now THAT was...." Dean glanced over to Liz.

"Weird?" Liz asked as she walked over to him. When he nodded, all she did was giggle. "Don't worry baby. You'll get use to it."

"Let's hope not." Max whispered to himself but both Lynn AND Dean had heard him. "Do you think Tess is really dead?" He asked as he dropped down next to her ashes.

"Uh, yeah. Did ya not see when her body burst into ashes after she was hit by that thing." Lynn asked as her head hit the back of the couch. "Ow."

"Dumbass." Jenny laughs as she drops down next to her daughter.

"Not for nothing, but how do you know that she's really dead? I mean can't she do what Lynn and Ava just did?"

"She can but once one of us dies, I mean really dies, we turn into dush, ashes." Michael stated as he felt Maria wrap her arms around his waist. "That's what happened when Nasado died."

"Who's Nasado?" Lynn asked. She didn't realize it but her top was semi open from being so hot and the tops of her breasts were just out for show. And Michael took full advantage.

"He was our protector." Max answered instead. He knew what Michael was doing because he was doing the same thing only with Liz. Her tiny red tee clunge to her top and made his mouth water.

"Look, I know she's drop dead gorgeous but god Michael! Do you have to stare at her like that?" Maria snapped.

"What?" Michael turnf to Maria. "What did you say?"

Before Maria could blow a casket, Jenny jumped in. "Yeah... So aside from staring at my daughter's rake, what do we do next? I mean, we all saw Isabel leave with them and you know that she has to think that we're all dead, cause she wouldn't have left other wise. So what's the plan?"

"Well, first, we so gotta lose the whole in the wall. Not for nothing but when all of this is done and finished with I would like it if my PARENTS didn't kill me." Liz said.

"Oh," Jenny jumped up. "I got a spell for that."

"Great. Now to Isabel." Kyle almost yelled after Jenny ran to her room. "How the hell are we going to get her back now that Kivar has her?!"

"Calm down, Kyle. We'll get Isabel back when we can." Maria snapped as she dropped her hands onto her hips.

Both Liz and Lynn looked at each other from their spots across the room. Kyle was going to blow if Maria didn't shut her big ass mouth. He was pissed and his face gave him off.

"What was that?" He asked in an even tone. Even his fists were bunched up and ready.

*He's gonna blow! Lynn thought to Liz.

*IS that you Lynn?*

*No, it's Pam Anderson. Of course it's Lynn. Who else would talk to you telipathicly? Dumbass.*

"Hey I heard that.*

*Look, we so gotta get Kyle into you're room, gurl, before he kills MAria.*

*Right behind you.* Liz walked over to Kyle. "How about we go to my room?" Kyle gave Liz a weird look and then looked at Dean. "Just to calm you down a bit."

"Liz-."

"Let's go, buddha boy." Lynn said as she stood up and grabbed him by his arm. Liz was already pushing him to her room, so all Lynn had to do was pull.

"Yeah Kyle. Go to Liz's room to 'calm down'." Max yelled. "I'm sure both girls know just how to do that." Both girls stopped and turned but it was the Winchesters who got to Max first.

"What was that 'alien boy'?" Dean demanded as he stood face to face with Max.

"Back off." Michael snapped as he stood by Max's side.

"Or what? You'll stare at my girlfriend some more?" Sam asked, moving in front of Michael.

"Dean, don't." Liz asked. "Please?"

"I just wanna hear what the funn guy said."

"Duke's going off." Ava joked as Jenny finished with the spell and dropped downnext to her.

"Please stop." Liz repeated.

"No. I wanna hear what the jackass said too." Lyn pushed, hoping Dean would knock Max on his ass. He was gonna get knocked on his ass sooner or later, it might as well be sooner than later.

"Don't provoke them, Lynn. It's your fault they're this way, anyways." Maria said from her spot near the front door that was now there. "Why don't you be an adult and stop them?"

"Kick their asses Sam and Dean." Jenny yelled.

"Yeah, I should be an adult and stop them but I don't want to." Lynn fake whined as she shoved Kyle into Liz's room. "And anyways, my homie needs me." Then she pulled Liz in both closing and locking the door.

"Yeah baby, I guess we get to see an ass kicking." Jenny told Ava who giggled.

"More like an exacution." Maria whispered to herself.

****************************************

"And that is why we brought you in here, Kyle. We all wanna get Isabel back but you see Ava and Lynn. One can hardly get off the couch while the other is laying behind us, acting like she's listening," Both Liz and Kyle turned to Lynn who WAS in fact laying behind them with her eyes closed.

"What?" She whined. And both Liz and Kyle burst out laughing.

"I know what you mean. She looks like shit." Kyle joked.

"Bite the weenie, ass hole." Lynn said, even though she didn't move at all.

"Look at that. The magic must be eating at her brain because she can't even make up a good comeback." Liz joked.

"You bitch." All 3 burst out laughing again. "So Kyle." Lynn said when they stopped laughing. "You ready to face Maria the bitch?"

"Well, I'm ready to face the Maria. Are you ready to face Maria the bitch?" Lynn sat up and looked at Kyle. "Michael's always with you. How the hell did THAT happen?"

"Max."

"Max!" Liz and Kyle asked in union.

"Yeah Max. He told Michael to do a little recon on me to make sure that I wasn't trying to ruin his little world."

"Guess nothing Michael said worked cause Max still hates you."

"Like I care."

"But I think Michael may think that you and he have more than just friendship between you. I've seen the way he stares at you." Liz giggled as she dropped her head onto her bed. "I mean I see how he acts whenever you and Sammy are even mentioned let alone seen together."

"Damn the 'Evenlynn' charm has once again gotten me into trouble. What on earth shall I do?" Lynn asked in an exaggerated aigh. Kyle chuckled.

"You can always stop your boyfriend from killing Michael?"

"Nah. They got themselves into that. I can't do anything about it. Gimme sumthing easy."

"Lynn!" Liz shieked as she sat up. "Sam and Dean'll destroy Max and Michael. Get up." Liz pulled Lynn up while Lynn just gave her puppy dog eyes and pouted her lips. "Come on."

"Do I have to?"

But Liz didn't answer her. Instead, Liz pulled her out of the room while Kyle pushed her out. It was clear that they had gotten there just in time cause it looked like both Dean and Sam were about to break some heads.

"I don't understand why you just won't repeat what you said." Dean snapped getting red.

"I don't get why he just don't kick his ass." Jenny asked Ava.

"Provoking them, aunt Jenny?" Liz asked, still holding Lynn's hand. "I see where Lynn gets it from."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Jenny scoffed but in seconds she was in a fit of giggles. Soon Ava, and Lynn joined her.

"God, you're more like your mom everyday." Maria scoffed in the corner.

"God, you're more like your mom everyday." Lynn mimcked.

"I got Dean and Max. Lynn, you get, Sam and-."

"Michael. I get it." Lynn rolled her eyes. "Like I can't stop this."

Liz was the first to the guys. She shoved herself in between them and grabbed both of their shirts.

"Why don't you two just cut the crap? We got bigger fish to fry." Liz turned to Max. "Look, I know this sucks to see me with Dean but tough." Then she turned to Dean. "Babe, you can't get mad everytime this ass says something about me or else we won't get anything done. Okay?" Liz let go of Max, gave Dean a quick kiss but walked to the kitchen to catch herself before she burst into tears.

*Guess it's my turn. Lynn thought to herself but she took a different approach. She slapped the hell out of both of them.

"That is for fighting over nothing." Then she slapped them both again. "And that is for taking so god damn ong to fight." Then she turned to leave.

"Pussies!" Jenny yelled at them. Lynn turned to say something but then fell to the floor. Sam was right there by her side.

"Lynn?"

"No! Dean, it's Liz!" Then a crash came in from the kitchen.

Everyone but Sam and Lynn went to see what had happened. There in the middle of the kitchen, lay Liz in Dean's arms. Her eyes were closed but her body was shaking.

"What the hell happened to her?" Jenny snapped before MAx could.

"I don't know. I just got here when Lynn told me to." Dean held Liz close and right then, everyone saw just how much he loved her.

"Help me!" Liz suddenly yelled.

**************************************

Help me, Isabel thought to herslef as she follwed Kivar. She had been faking her happiness for the longest and didn't know what else to do. If it wasn't for the fact that Kivar JUST killed all the people she loved then she would have totally left.

Oh no, I never told Kyle how I felt about him. Isabel suddenly realized as she sat down next to Kivar. Out of all the time she had been spending with him, along the line, she fell for him and fell hard. Now she'd never get the chance to tell him.

"Vilondra, sweetheart. Is there something the matter with you? You have been rather quiet since we left that horrible place you called home."

"Oh." Isabel looked at Kivar. "It just surprised me how fast you and..."

"Vito."

"How you and Vito killed everyone. I didn't know what was happening. That was why I put up my shield."

"It is because you are as smart as you are beautiful." Kivar complamented as he caressed her cheek. Isabel made sure she didn't shirk from his touch.

"You are too kind." Gag me.

"Sir!" Kivar and Isabel turned just as a skinny solider walked in.

"Yes, Riot!"

"Vito has just called. The job is done and he is almost here. Shall we prep the ship?" Kivar looked to Isabel.

"Do you wish to stay one last day or to leave tonight?"

Isabel had to play it cool. She had to make them think that she was thinking about it. "One more day, please."

Kivar smiled. "One more day it is." He turned to Riot. "We shall leave tomorrow. Now leave and only return when Vito has."

"Yes sir." Then he was gone, leaving Isabel alone with Kivar. Nnnnnnnnnoooooooo! She yelled in her head.

"Alone at last." His hand gently caressed the back of her neck. "What ever shall we do?"

Think quick, Is. You can't sleep with this man, let alone kiss him. You gotta do something. But what can you do that'll get him to give you some time? Isabel thought to herself. Sleep! You can fake sleepiness and still be able to find a way outta here.

Isabel looked to Kivar and then to the floor. "There IS nothing more than I would want than to sleep with you but I fear that I am a bit tired."

"Tired?"

"Tired."

"But why?"

"Max has not let me sleep in a very long time and since he is now gone, I would like nothing better than to sleep so that I can be in better shape for tomorrow."

"Then sleep, my love. Zan has always been bossy. That was why you came to me, so sleep. I must get ready for tomorrow anyways." Isabel smirked but then covered it with a yawn.

"You are too kind."

"Only to you." Then with a quick kiss, he was gone.

"FInally." She laid down and tried to think of anything but the others.

But then like a vaccum, she was sucked into Liz's mind. They were still alive and trying to find a way to her. And Kyle liked her. A smile speard over her lips but she knew she had to talk to her. She just had to talk to Liz.

*Help me, Liz. Help me.

"I should have known that you would betray me." Kivar's voice shot through Isabel's head like thunder. She shot up like a bullet and was face to face with the man who said he loved her. "But really, Vilondra. Could you at least waited until I was truly gone?" Kivar turned to Riot. "Arrest her!"

Chapter 28

*Thick red blood everywhere.*

*Lynn tied up with tears and blood running down her face.*

*Isabel crying over Kyle's dead body.*

*Maria doing the same for Michael.*

*Sam and Dean bleeding in the corner with Jenny not far from them, drenched in blood.*

*Ava in the corner tied up with a rope in her mouth.*

*Max dead on the floor with his eyes open.*

Liz felt sick from everything she had seen. Everything that was going to happen. The blood. The death. Her heart ached from just the thought. And here she lay. In her bed, in her room, with Dean behind her and Lynn in front. Sam sat on her desk chair while the others sat outside. No one knew what had happened except those in her room and her aunt. The others wouldn't be able to live through what the future had planned for them. None of them would live.

"Are you sure?" Lynn asked again, with tears in her eyes.

"Yeah." Liz whispered. Dean pulled Liz a little closer. "You were all either dead or badly hurt."

"But I don't get how Kivar knew?" Lynn asked herself.

"Me either, but he did."

"But how?"

"Lynn?" Dean whispered.

"No! We've gotta know how. I mean Kyle, Michael, you, Sam, Max and my mom are going to die while me, Isabel, Maria and Ava have to watch! What the hell happened that we all had to go through that?"

"Where were you, Liz?" Sam suddenly asked. His face was red from crying and the thought of dying because of aliens of all things.

"What?" She asked, looking at him for the first time since Dean had carried her into the room with Sam right behind him with Lynn in his arms.

"Where were you when everything happened?" He asked again. Liz thought for a moment. Then it hit her.

"I wasn't there." She said slowly as she sat up.

"What?" Both Dean and Lynn followed her in suit.

"I wasn't there!" She said a little more loudly. "I wasn't there."

"So maybe if you came then things would be different." Sam said.

"Wait." Dean said.

"No. He's right." Liz said turning to him.

"But-."

"No buts, just let me have this."

"FIne, but what about Kivar knowing we're still alive!" Lynn told them. "We still have to find out how he knew we're still alive."

"But how?"

"Ava!" Liz yelled.

Isabel sat in a tiny cell, looking at nothing but the tiny window that gave even tinier sunlight. She was stuck and her friends were never going to find her. She had messed up. If only she had just did what she was told then she wouldn't be here. And how the hell did they survive? And why not protect her? Was it apart of their plan? Was there something bigger going on that she had no clue of? And why was she out of the loop on it? Why-?

"Isabel?" Isabel turned.

"Alex?"
