Roswell Fanatics

Chapter 20

At seeing Tess, Michael stood in front of Amber while Kyle moved in front of Maria. Both knew that if push came to shove that neither of them would be able to protect themselves from the evil bitch. Liz, who was no longer the one who kept quiet, was the first one to talk.

"Now this was actually worth getting out of bed for." She turned to Michael and Amber. "Not that you getting married and having a kid with someone I may or may not know is boring, I just had something-or rather someone in bed ready to do."

"Nice, Liz. You kiss your boyfriend with that potty mouth." Tess asked as she finally reached the basement floor.

"Actually, I do alot more than just kiss my guy with this mouth of mine. I'd love to share it with you but last time I remembered, I hate you for killing my best friend. So why don't you put the little boy down so I can pay you back?" Liz said as she raised her hand in front of her.

"Oh now Liz, I may have been stupid when I slept with Max but I'm not THAT stupid." Tess snapped. "I know that once I put my son down and move him out of harm's way, you'll all blast me into next year. Ain't that right, Michael?"

"Not denying it here." Michael said as he stretched out his own arm.

"Kyle?"

"Dido." Kyle repeated the stance.

"So if, you're not here to fight, then you're obivously here to talk." Isabel snapped from the other side of Amber. "So talk."

"I hate to burst this bubble that you all have made over the past five years but Kivar is close and he wants what he thinks belongs to him." Tess said after what felt like a forever silence.

"Repeat that?" Max snapped.

"How?" Isabel asked scared.

"When?" Liz questioned rolling her eyes.

"Kivar is coming, because he's a freaking alien who has an obseen amount of power and we have a good 6 months before he's knocking down the doors." Tess shifted her son from one arm to the other.

"What does he want?" Maria asked from behind Kyle. She didn't want to believe the lying bitch but if she wanted to live and see the rest of her life, she'd have to.

"Isabel." Tess said simply. "Look, I know most if not all of you hate me because of what I did to Alex and I'm really, truly sorry that he died. He wasn't supposed to and I mean that." Tears filled Tess' eyes. "He was my only friend who accepted me no matter what."

"And yet you killed him." Liz said. "I can only image what you'd do to those of us who aren't your 'friends'."

"Liz-?" Liz held up her hand.

"But I going to help anyway." Liz dropped her arm and folded it in front of her. "What do you need from me?"

Chapter 21

"You can't seriously be considering helping her, can you Liz?" Max snapped.

"I can and I am. I like my life Max. I mean actually, I love it. I love my job, I love my apartment AND I love my friends. So if I have to team up with the bitch who killed my Alex to keep them, then..." Liz looked at Kyle and then at Michael. "I'll do what I have to to keep those I love safe."

Kyle looked back at Maria while Michael did the same thing to Amber.

"I'm with Liz." Michael finally said shocking everyone in the room. Everyone but Amber. "I'll help you Tess." It was only til he said her name that Michael looked up at Tess. "But know this, if you trick us, I won't be held responsible for my actions." Tess nodded silently while Amber rubbed Michael's back, obviously calming him down.

"Okay. Kyle?" Tess moved closer to Liz. For some reason, she felt more safer by the small brunette than where she had been standing. "What about you?"

Kyle looked from Maria to Liz then back to Maria and nodded. "If it'll keep us safe." His eyes lingered on Maria a bit longer before looking at Tess and smiling. "So what tools do we need to learn to kick Kivar's alien ass?"

"Well, first, we need the help of BOTH Isabel AND Max." Tess looked at the siblings. "Isabel, I know there is no reason for you to wanna help me. I know that you loved Alex. That you still love Alex and I'm very sorry that I killed him but think about your nephew." Then she motioned with her chin. "And you niece."

"I'm having a girl?" Amber asked shocked.

"Yeah." Tess smiled but then looked back at Isabel. "So?"

"Fine." Isabel folded her arms over her chest. "I'm in."

"Max?" Everyone turned to Max who had yet to say anything.

"No."

"What?"

"I said no."

"What about your son?" Tess demanded. "Or your family?"

"What son?" Max questioned with such anger. Then he looked at everyone in the basement. "What family?"

He turned to leave but was stopped by someone clapping their hands.

"Bravo Max, bravo." Everyone turned to Liz. "You finally lived up to your title." Then she raised her hands as if showing them all a sign. "Asshole, Douche bagging, deadbeat king. Nice." She wiped away a fake tear. "I always knew you could do it."

"Don't be such a bitch Liz." Maria snapped.

"What? You wanna protect him Ria?" Kyle snapped back.

"Kyle-?"

"No, he's right Maria. Why are you protecting him?" Liz asked. "He stole your life from you. All of you." Liz said pointing at all of them.

"That's not true." Max yelled.

"Oh really?" Liz asked calmly. "Let's look at the evidence. Michael is married and his wife is pregnant. Did any of you know that Michael and Amber even dated?"

"They didn't even know she existed." Michael said more to himself than the others.

"Isabel, if I'm not correct, Jess and you have been trying to have kids of your own and...." Tess started but stopped when Isabel bit her lower lip.

"Isabel?" Michael turned to his sister. "Are you-?"

"Pregnant?" Isabel finished for him.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah I am. I was going to tell you guys today."

"Wow." Liz looked at Max. "You really know how to suck the life out of those around you." She shook her head. "Thank god I got out when I did or else who know what the hell my life would have been."

"Liz I-." But Max was cut off by someone walking into the building.

"LIZ!"

"That's Dean." Liz said with a smile. "I gotta go." She moved to leave but then stopped. "You guys can come to the Crash tomorrow night." Then she turned and was almost at the top of the steps when Maria called for her.

"Wait! Why not tonight?" Liz stopped and smiled down at the girl that had been her very best friend but was now just a stranger.

"Because I'ma be in bed all day." Liz told them with a smile making both Kyle, Tess and Amber burst out laughing.

"Are you sick?"

"Maria!" Kyle pulled the slow blond to him and kissed the top of her head while Liz just shook her head before leaving the basement.

"LIZ!" Liz walked through the small hallway and practically threw herself into Dean's arms, shocking him. "Where the hell were you?"

"Basement." She said as she shrugged her shoulders.

"Basement uh, your starting to sound like that crazy chick you use to hang out with back in Florida when we were on a hunt there." Liz stopped smiling.

"What did you say?"

"What? When?"

"About that girl?"

"What girl?"

"The one from florida?"

"Who? That chick from the bar?" Liz nodded. "What about her?"

"Do you remember her name?"

"Yeah, duh. You made both me AND Sam remember her name cause you didn't want us," Liz gave him a pointed look. "Okay me. You didn't want me to call her baby."

"What was her name?!"

"Oh yeah." Then Dean stopped and Liz could see the wheels in his head turning as he tried to remember the girl she had no memory of for some reason. "Her name was...Amber the bartender." He said with a smile. "Why?"

Chapter 22

"LIZ!" Liz walked through the small hallway and practically threw herself into Dean's arms, shocking him. "Where the hell were you?"

"Basement." She said as she shrugged her shoulders.

"Basement uh, your starting to sound like that crazy chick you use to hang out with back in Florida when we were on a hunt there." Liz stopped smiling.

"What did you say?"

"What? When?"

"About that girl?"

"What girl?"

"The one from Florida?"

"Who? That chick from the bar?" Liz nodded. "What about her?"

"Do you remember her name?"

"Yeah, duh. You made both me AND Sam remember her name cause you didn't want us," Liz gave him a pointed look. "Okay me. You didn't want me to call her baby."

"What was her name?!"

"Oh yeah." Then Dean stopped and Liz could see the wheels in his head turning as he tried to remember the girl she had no memory of for some reason. "Her name was...Amber the bartender." He said with a smile. "Why?"

Liz sat shock on her balcony. She had been there ever since Dean had told her Amber's name. At first, she hadn't remembered the name. Maybe it was just a coincidence. She had thought but then when she had pulled Dean into a passionate kiss, memories of a non pregnant Amber filled Liz's head and she couldn't stand up right anymore.

"Knock. Knock. Can I come out?" Liz turned her head and saw Sam smiling inside her room.

"Yeah. Sure." Liz watched Sam climb out onto her balcony and tried with all her might to come up with a good enough lie so that he wouldn't worry like he always did when ever it came to her.

"So..." Sam sat right next to her. "You wanna tell me what the hell happened in that basement that has you freaking out about some chick you don't even remember?" Liz's head snapped towards him, shocked.

"How did you know?"

"Dean."

"Bastard." Liz said deflating.

"Don't be mad at him. He was mumbling to himself and I happen to still be in the room while it was happening."

"Great. So I drove him insane." Liz dropped her head into her hands. "That's just great."

"So you gonna tell me or am I gonna have to go to the source?" Liz looked at him.

"You wouldn't?"

"Oh...I would." Sam said with a smirk and Liz knew that he would. "So spill."

"Tess is back with Max's baby and is asking everyone for help since Kivar is coming." Sam's mouth dropped open. "Oh and both Isabel AND Michael are expecting."

"Expecting what?" Liz looked at Sam.

"Babies."

"But I thought that Michael and Maria were over." Liz's left eye brow rose. "Kyle."

"They are." Liz said shaking her head. She hadn't realized how close Sam and Kyle had gotten over the last few days. She wasn't mad... She just didn't know if she liked Sam being close to any of the Roswellians. "Michael is engaged to this girl that none of them knew about and she is prego."

"Okay." Sam said slowly. "So what does this have to do with-?"

"Amber?" He nodded. "Well, that's who he's engaged to."

"What?"

"Yeah. That's what I said."

"So you've been out here what? Thinking about shit?"

"Yeah. I mean. How did they meet? I mean...last time we saw her was like 2 years ago and she was telling me that she had just got out of a relationship where she thought that he had been the one."

"Plus with her magic."

"I know."

"Do you think he knows that she's a witch?"

"I don't think so."

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

Michael lead the way back to his apartment with Amber behind him. He felt like he had the world on his shoulders and in some way...he did. Amber and the baby are his world and he'd do whatever he had to to keep them both safe.

"Would you like me to get you something baby?" Amber asked as she walked into the kitchen, her yellow maternity shirt looking rather loose as she walked.

"Nah...I'm good. I'm just gonna go sit down in the living room." Michael was about to turn his back to his fiance but stopped when he saw her wave her hand over her cup of tea. "What was that?"

Amber jumped. "Michael!" She looked at him like a deer caught in headlights. "I thought you went to sit down."

"I was but then I saw-." Michael pointed to her. "What the fuck was that?!"

"Look Michael. I can explain." Amber said putting her hands in front of her.

"Are you one of them? Are you a threat to my family?" Michael shouted.

"Please just let me explain, baby."

"Baby? Baby?" Michael turned from Amber while running his hands through his hair and down his face. "I can't believe I slept with my enemy. I can't believe I fell in love with my enemy. I can't believe-." Suddenly a glass cup hit him in the back of the head, shattering to the ground as he turned to a very pissed and a very much crying Amber.

"I can't believe you won't even listen to me!" She yelled. "But that's fine. You don't want me. Fuck you. I'm gone." She gave him the finger, pushed passed him and towards his room. What felt like only seconds later, she walked out with her suitcase and was gone before Michael could even open his mouth.

"What the fuck was that?"

Chapter 23

Rain filled the quiet streets of Roswell, New Mexico as a crying Amber walked towards the Crash down Cafe. She'd never been there before but she had remember in detail all the stories Liz had told her when they use to hang out in Florida. Plus she remember the directions Michael had given her the first time she had come to Roswell. He had told her that if she'd ever needed him, that if he wasn't at his apartment then he was there.

Michael. God, everything was just so wrong. It wasn't supposed to be like this. He wasn't supposed to be like this. He had been so... so... Liz will fix everything. She always did back in Florida.

***********

Not wanting to be in the rain, Sam and Liz sat in the living room just talking to each other about everything and anything. Soft music played in the back round on the radio while Dean watched T.V. in the guest room.

"I can't believe you guys are actually doing this whole 'angel' thing." Liz said as she took a sip of the wine she was now pouring herself.

"I can't believe that your parents' are really gone." Sam sat up straight.

"I know what you mean." Liz set her glass down. "I mean, when I get up in the morning and I'm in that room...I don't know. It's like I'm sixteen again. Everything is normal and I have both my parents and Alex here." Liz took a deep breathe and then let it out. "Alex. Wow. I haven't thought about him since he died."

"I know." Sam said in a small voice and Liz couldn't help but wonder why?

"Why do you get like that?"

"Like what?"

"Like you were here. Like you knew Alex."

"Because I feel like I did." Liz looked at him confused. "You were always talking about him when ever I got you drunk and then when you actually opened up to me about him...I don't know. I just-it's kind of like me and Dean. When I lost him, you knew that I needed time. You just knew while the others... I just...I know what it's like to-." But he was cut off by a knocking on the front door. "Who the hell would be at your door at this time of night?"

"I don't know." Another knock.

"Maybe it's Kyle or Maria?"

"They would have called."

"Max, Michael or Isabel?"

"Yeah right. Fat chance. That might as well be my parents and Alex." More knocking.

"Then I'm at a lost cause no one would be at your door at what-." Sam looked at the clock on the wall. "Two in the morning." More knocking.

"Is someone gonna get that or am I gonna have to get up because ya two are being lazy asses?" Dean yelled from the guest room.

"Empty threats don't suit you lard ass." Liz joked as she stood up and went to the door. "Hel-lo. Amber?"

"Hey Liz."

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

Michael paced his living room, slowly going crazy with worry over where and what Amber was doing at this very moment. Thought she did in fact look 4 months pregnant, she still was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life. So there was no doubt in his mind that if she wanted someone else, she'd get him.

"What have I done?" He asked himself. He had to find her but she had turned off her pager and wasn't answering him through her phone. What the hell? "I have to find her." More pacing and it hit him. "Isabel!"

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

Amber sat in Liz's kitchen in dry clothes with a hot cup of tea in front of her. Liz and Sam were watching her while she sipped her tea. She has yet to say anything to either of them other than hi and where the bathroom was. After that she had just slipped into auto mode and went about making herself safe. Now that she was done, she just sat there...staring at nothing.

With a quick nudge in the stomach from Sam, Liz opened her mouth to say something but stopped when Amber spoke instead.

"Thanks for everything. I really... thank you." Amber's voice shook as did her hands as she tried to take another sip of her tea.

"Amber... what happened?" Liz asked slowly.

"He saw... He saw me using... and he freaked!" Though she was clearly talking to Liz, she was looking down at her hands.

"WHAT?!" Liz yelled making Amber burst into tears.

"He freaked Liz! HE...He wasn't himself. HE asked me if I was his enemy. Then he asked himself how he could sleep with the enemy. How he could fall in love with the enemy." Tears were falling free from her eyes as she repeated Michael's words and Liz's heart broke. "I took his secret like a pro but he... he just..."

"Shh." Liz held Amber as she cried and silently formed a plan in her head on what she was going to do to Mr. Michael Gueirn.

Chapter 24

Michael banged on Isabel's apartment door until a groggy Jessie opened it.

"Michael?"

"I have to talk to Isabel."

"She's-."

"Isabel!" Michael yelled as he pushed pass a now wide awake Jessie.

"Michael, I heard about what happened with Tess but Isabel-."

"This has nothing to do with that bitch. I mean...god Isabel will you get your ass out here!" Michael yelled as he ran his hands through his messy hair.

"What? What is it Michael?" Isabel snapped as she walked out of her room in a pink silk robe n white slippers.

"Amber is gone."

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

Amber lay asleep in Liz's room. It had taken some convincing but then she finally gave up and was now out. Liz and Sam sat in the living room, Sam not believing that Amber was actually here and Liz, thinking up a plan on how she was gonna punish Michael for hurting Amber. Sure it had been a stupid reason to cry but she was pregnant and Liz remembered when she...Liz shook her head. She had to think about Amber and not her old problems.

"Liz?" Sam snapped his fingers in front of her face. "Liz!"

"What?" Liz asked looking at Sam.

"Where were you?"

"Right here." Liz stood up cause she knew Sam knew she was lying.

"Liz." She could hear the questioning in his voice.

"I was just thinking about..."

"Oh." She heard Sam move on the couch but he didn't get up to come over to her. He was giving her a chance to open up to him. "Well-." But suddenly there was someone banging on the door. "I wonder who that is." Liz turned to look at the door just like Sam.

"Me too." More banging.

"Liz let me in." Michael's voice vibrated through the room. "I know she's there. I just want to see her. Liz!"

"What the hell?" Dean snapped from the guest room. "Is everyone coming over?"

"Shut up." Liz snapped. "How did he know where she was?"

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

"You want me to what?" Isabel snapped.

"Just dream walk her. I have to find her. In the very least, I have to see if she's okay." Michael gave his sister a look he knew she couldn't ignore. "Please Iz. She means everything to me. Just...please." His voice cracked on please without his knowledge.

Isabel looked at her brother and she could see the unshed tears in his eyes. He really did love Amber and what ever she was...it didn't matter to him...She had to help him.

"Fine." Isabel laid back on her couch. "But you owe me." She held out her hand and waited until Michael gave her a small picture. When she looked at it, it was of a smiling Michael holding onto a laughing Amber. Tears rimmed her eyes.

"Are you okay, Iz?" Michael asked. He was standing over her. He had seen the way she reacted to the picture and was worried.

"Yeah...I just...I've never seen you this happy before." She looked at Michael and saw him getting uncomfortable. "I'll find her for you but you better fix this."

"Oh trust me I will. No matter what."

Chapter 25

Amber laid in Liz's bed a little mad that she was forced to sleep here when she would have happily taken the living room couch but Liz meant well and she was very tired. It wouldn't hurt to just sleep it off until tomorrow. At least then she'd be able to put up a better argument.

Amber's dream:

I slowly move along the quiet beach just behind my house. It was beautiful and oh so right. Buying this house was so worth it. Puerto Rico was amazing.

"We should have moved along time ago." I turn and see Michael walking towards me and in his arms is our little angel. Our baby....Isabella Sophia.

"I can't agree more." I meet them half way and give my husband a deep and passionate kiss. "God I love you."

"No complaints here." Michael said with his trade mark smirk.

"Especially since I managed to keep you both happy and satisfied on a daily basis?" I giggled.

"That you do baby. That you do." Then he looks pass me and his smile falls.

"What?"

"Go."

"What?"

"Go now and take Isa with you."

"But I thought..."

"Go now." I grab Isabella without another hesitation and I run straight off the beach and right to the Crashdown.

"What the-?" But I'm alone. Isabella is gone and I'm standing in the rain, tears falling down my face. I'm in front of the Crashdown. In front of Liz's house... My only friend. The only place other than Michael's arms, that I know I'm safe.

"Amber are you okay?" Liz asks as she and Sam let me in.

"No. But I will be." The room is warm. Just like I knew it would be. I'm safe now.

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

Isabel shot up off the couch, scaring both Michael and Jess.

"Where is she?"

"What did u do to her?" She snapped.

"What? Why?"

"I saw her crying Michael. I felt her tears in my own throat as if I were the one who was crying. So I repeat, what did you do to her?"

"I told you...we had just gotten home and she asked me if I wanted something to drink. I said no and turned to leave but then she waved her hand over her cup and it was suddenly hot. I just-." Michael ran his hand through his hair. "I flipped out on her. I yelled and over reacted just like I use to and she...she threw something at me, said fuck you, got her things and then left before I could even register what I had said or done."

"Is she going to be a threat Michael?" Isabel asked, her hand over her stomach.

"No Iz. Like I told you before...I just over reacted. Amber wouldn't hurt a fly." Then he looked at her. "So where is she?"

"Liz's."

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

"You go check on Amber and I'll deal with Michael." Sam said as he stood up.

"No." Liz looked at Sam. "I know Michael." More banging. "And I know how to deal with him."

"What if he tries something?"

"I have my ways and you know it. Go to Amber. I don't want her to wake up."

"Okay." Sam turned to leave but Liz stopped him. "Yeah?"

"Lock Dean's door." Sam smirked but did as he was told before walking into Liz's room. "Okay Liz. Your turn."

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

Tess put little Zan down to sleep on Max's bed and sat next to him. He was such a little angel and nothing was going to touch him. Nothing and no one.

"He's to young to mine." Max whispered angrily behind her.

"How do you figure?" Tess asked over her shoulder as she rubbed her son's stomach.

"He looks like he's two, maybe three." Max snapped a little louder.

Tess' head snapped towards him. "Give me a minute. I don't want him to hear this."

"I-." But Tess raised her hand and sent Max flying to the couch and locked the door behind him.

"Don't worry baby." She whispered to her fussy baby. "I'll fix daddy."

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

"Liz! Just let me in."

"The door's open Michael" Liz said lazily as she walked over to the couch and sat down. The door flew open and there Michael stood, tall and dangerous, his entire body soaked from the rain no doubt. "Hello there." She said with a smile on her face. "What are you doing here?"

"Don't play games with me, Parker. I want to see my fiance and I want to see her now."

"Oh well...That aint gonna happen." Liz said slowly slipping back into her Seattle persona. "You see, Amber was a very good friend to me and when she showed up today...wet and crying, I thought to myself why? Why would Amber be so happy when she has Michael with her? But then she told me what happened and you know what?"

"What?" Michael said through clenched teeth.

"Nothing."

"What?" Michael's features softened up.

"Nothing. That's what." Liz let out a sigh. "I don't want to you two to fight Michael. Amber is a great girl and she's the mother to your unborn child. You love her. I know you do or else you wouldn't be with her." Liz shook her head. "Amber's asleep right now and I know you want to talk to her but...with her being pregnant, she needs her sleep. Just leave her alone."

"But I-."

"Can apologize tomorrow to her when she feels better. Right now she's not feeling to well and needs to sleep."

"What? What do you mean she's not feeling good? Maybe we should take her to-?"

"Let her sleep." Liz stated as she got up from the couch. "Trust me. I know what I'm talking about." Then she smiled up at him. "Tomorrow you can talk with her."

"Tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow." Liz said with a nod.

"Fine." Michael snapped as he let out a strangled breath. "Tomorrow." Then he was gone and Liz was left alone in the middle of her parents' living room. Liz turned to go get Sam but something stopped her. Something out of the corner of her eye.

She slowly turned towards the living room closet that was always closed. Always locked. What lay beyond this door? Reaching her hand out, Liz reached for the door knob and just as she turned it, Sam walked into the room.

"What happened with-?" But his words were cut off when the closet door flew open and something grabbed Liz by the arm and pulled her in. Just before the darkness settled in, Liz heard her name being yelled but it sounded so far away. So far.....

Chapter 26

Sam moved quick towards the closet door, screaming Liz's name but he wasn't quick enough. Liz was gone and the only thing inside the closet was old books and blankets that looked like they had seen better days. Where the hell had she gone and what had taken her?

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

Liz opened her eyes to the flicking of a orange light. She could smell mold and dirt all around her but she couldn't move. In fact, other than her blinking, she couldn't move a single muscle in her body.

"That's because I don't want you to move." A voice said from behind her.

"Who?" She asked but it was muffled by what ever was on her mouth.

"Oh, that's right. You don't know me." The voice said in a tone Liz could hear was a little condesending. "But I know you." Liz looked up and saw green eyes. Almost snake like until they glossed over. Completely black.

"Kivar?"

"Ah...So u do know me." He said. "That's good because I have a task for you, little Elizabeth."

"Fuck you!" She managed to yell with whatever was in her mouth.

"Soon baby." Kivar said as he held her face between his index finger and thumb. "Soon." Then he kissed her like a man thirsty in the middle of a desert. When he pulled back, he smiled and walked away leaving Liz to her own thoughts.

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

Tess walked out of Max's room and looked at the man she was suppose to be married to. Though he had been a great king before, here, he was grasping for straws and losing all those around him. For an instant, she almost felt sorry for him. Almost.

"He's yours Max. Zan is your son." Max's head snapped towards Tess.

"That's bullshit and you know it."

"Really? Cause you're the only man I ever had sex with. You're the only man I ever fucked." She snapped.

"Another lie." Max said as he turned from Tess. "I bet you don't even know the difference any more."

"Ha. Well is it the pot calling the kettle black." She smirked. "Remember, I've been watching you."

"Watching me?" Max turned back to her.

"Well, not watching but the connection we have has let me see into your life and you're not exactly an angel in all of this. In fact, you're not even a saint in this." Tess smiled an evil smile. "I believe the fraze crazy-ass, ass-hole pretty much sums up wat u r."

"Fuck you."

"You were bad the first time, what makes you think I'll let you near me again."

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

Michael burst into his apartment and never felt more alone than he did right now. He had made Amber cry. He'd hurt her just like her ex. He was an asshole just like him.

"Michael!"

Michael looked around.

"Michael!"

That was Liz.

"That's right asshole."

"Hey being a total bitch is so not cool especially since you're inside of my head." Then he stopped. "How the fuck are you inside of my head?"

"So not the time." She groaned. "Kivar has me."

"How the fuck?"

"Don't know but he grabbed me through my closet."

"What do you want me to do about it?" Then Michael shook his head. "What does he want?"

"He hasn't said but you need to bring your ass to my parents' house and help Sam, Dean and Amber out."

"What? Why?"

"Ugh. Look I can't tell you because it's not my secret to tell but trust me...They'll come looking for me AND they'll find me. I need you and Kyle to be there with them because they are going to need your help." Then she was quiet as if she could see him thinking it over. "Trust me."

Michael shook his head. He knew she was right. Amber was just like Liz. If she got something in her mind, it was almost impossible to change it. That was one of the reason's he both loved and hated her. She was so complacated sometimes.

"Fine...Tell me what to do?"

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

Liz smiled to her self and let out a deep breathe that she didn't even know she was holding. Sam had seen her getting grabbed and now that she and Dean were...involved...he'd help Sam without a second thought. Then there was Amber. Though she was pregnant, she was loyal to a fault and would want to help Sam and Dean. Especially if she knew her magic could help.

Now all she needed was to get Michael and Kyle and she'd be as happy as a pig in shit.

Chapter 27

Amber woke up to the sounds of someone moving in the room. Her room. At first, she didn't move. She didn't want nor did she need for whomever it was in here to know that she was awake. But as soon as she saw the person or thing turn its back on her, she shot up in the bed and threw the person across the room. Jumping up from the bed, she turned on the light but kept her hand in front of her just in case.

"Who are you and what do you want? Hello!" A loud groan rose to her ears a few minutes later. A very familiar groan. "Sam?"

"That is correct." He mumbled.

"Oh god." Amber rushed over to her fallen friend. "Are you okay?" She asked as she tried to help him up.

"Yeah. Just a little bruised."

"Oh my god, where??" She asked looking him over.

"My ego."

"Wha-what?"

"You bruised my ego throwing me like that."

"Oh." Amber looked at Sam through her eye lashes.

"I forgot how strong you really were."

"Well, it has been a while." They locked eyes for a second before looking away. Amber had always had a thing for Sam when she had first met him but he hadn't wanted her. And now....well now she had Michael and she couldn't think about being with anyone BUT him. "So..." Amber looked at Sam. "What were you doing in here?"

"Oh yeah." He looked back at the ground before looking at Amber again. "Liz is gone."

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

Kyle sat alone in the kitchen of his apartment just thinking of everything that had happened in the last couple of hours. Tess was back and she had her son with her as well as Kivar on her ass. Liz was sleeping with Dean. Michael was both engaged AND expecting a child as was Isabel. And Maria was still clueless as to his feelings for her.

"Just another day in the alien capital of the world." He mumbled to himself.

"Talking to yourself now. I always knew you would go crazy first." Kyle turned and saw Michael standing by the kitchen door with his arms crossed in front of him.

"Whatever chewy. I was just thinking some shit out."

"Well stop thinking, yoda cause we have much bigger aliens to fry."

"What do you mean?" Kyle sat up straight on his stool.

"Kivar got here alot sooner than Tess had originally thought and he has Liz."

"Shit."

"My thoughts exactly."

"What are we suppose to do now?" Kyle asked getting up from his seat.

"We go to Dean, Sam and Amber. They can help." At Kyle's skeptical look, Michael shrugged his shoulders. "That's what Liz said."

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

"So...what do you think of my lovely home, Elizabeth?" Kivar asked as he had two guards sit Liz up.

"Looks like shit." She mumbled to him. He could hear her and even if he couldn't, she wouldn't mean repeating herself to him.

"That it does. That is does." He said with a smile and Liz tried not to look confused. He was acting like she just told him that his place looked better than a mansion.

"What do you want with me? Max and I are over. I don't want him and I could care less if he dies." Then she stopped to catch her breath. Mumbling through a rag stuff in your mouth was harder than it looked. "Come to think of it, I doubt any one would care." Lies. Isabel would care. So would Michael and Maria. Hell maybe even Tess a little.

"I care not about that wanna-be king. No. I got what I wanted." Then he looked into her eyes. "And Tess got her freedom and her son's life."

Chapter 28

"What do you mean...." Liz shook her head until Kivar looked at her. "Take this off of me!"

Kivar's eye brow rose but he nodded his head anyway. "Fine. Take it off."

The guard did as he was told and untied the rag around Liz's mouth.

"Now what do you mean about Tess?"

"Ah...I guess Tess hasn't told you."

"She said that you were coming but she didn't say that you gave her a free pass if she gave me up!" Liz snapped.

"That's because she didn't know that I wanted you instead of Vilandra."

"Huh?"

"Your human brains are so under-developed." Kivar said as he shook his head. "I told her that she would be free to live her own life as well as her son living his as long as I received what I wanted. In her eyes, that is Vilandra. But in truth...I've always wanted you Elizabeth. Ever since Zan saved you that faithful day in September all those years ago." Then he walked over to her. "And now I have you."

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

"What do you mean 'Liz is gone'?" Amber asked as she and Sam sat in the kitchen of the Parker home.

"I mean, last night after she got rid of Michael, something grabbed her from inside of the closet. When I went after her, it was just a closet again."

"A portal?" Amber asked confused. "Demon's can't use portals."

"I don't think it was a demon." Amber looked at Sam.

"What do you mean?" She questioned, her chin in her palm.

"I know about Max, Michael, Isabel and Tess' 'other worldly' status." Sam said as he made air quotes for other worldly.

"Damn." Amber jumped up, rushed out of the kitchen and then returned with a map and a crystal. Then she walked over to the sink and filled a bowl with water.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm going to find Liz."

"And we're going to help you." Both Amber and Sam turned to the doorway and saw Michael and Kyle standing there with their arms folded.

"Fine...Just don't get freaked out with what you see." Amber said as she put the bowl on the table.

"Freaked out?" Kyle looked at Sam, then Michael and finally back at Amber. "Um, I'm sorry but I've been in this club alot longer than you have so-."

But he was cut off when Amber waved her hand over the bowl and demanded in a steady voice: "Show me Liz."

Ripples pulled through the bowl as if someone had touched it and in the middle of the clear water was Liz's dirty face. "Holy shit." Kyle said as Liz looked up at them and winked before she disappeared. "What the fuck was that?"

"That's what I'd like to know." The group turned to see Dean right behind Amber.
