OOC: ok, it's late and I really need to sleep, but hopefully this will work

~Liz~

Maybe it’s the wrong thing to do, but I can’t help it… I see the green sparks and I can only think of one person that might be able to help… “Max…”

I don’t know what’s happening…nothing like this has ever happened before and I can’t say that I’m not scared because I am… I’m supposed to be normal, a human…I’m not supposed to have powers…

Although I didn’t know it was there before, there’s something about the energy I can feel crackling over my skin that tells me it was always there…it was just waiting for an opportunity to escape…

Well I guess it’s got that… It’s rough and uneven, completely out of control and I don’t have a clue what to do about it.

Looking down, I watch my hands for another moment before I sense that I’m no longer alone. As I look up, I find myself looking into Max’s dark eyes and less than a moment later he takes my hands in his.

I can feel the energy flowing through me, and strangely enough, I can feel it going through him too…I can sense that he;s trying to make a connection and after a few moments I feel a familiar flow open up. Flashes of his past flow through my mind as they have done on previous occasions… Sharing of images isn’t the purpose of this connection though… The energy inside me is still flighty and uneven and I can feel Max struggling as he attempts to bring it under control.

Reaching inside myself, I try to remember what he has said about his powers in the past… They’re related to his emotions… I guess that would make sense…I wasn’t exactly in the best state when he walked away…I guess that was what was needed to lose control.

For the moment all questions about why I would need control…about what has happened to me, are put on hold and I concentrate on trying to do the only thing I can think of to help Max. Reaching deep inside, drawing on the familiarity of the connection which is active between us, I try to centre myself, trying to regain control of this energy that I didn’t even know existed.

A few moments later, I could tell you whether I helped at all, or whether it’s all down to his efforts, but it’s done… My hands are no longer crackling and although I can feel the energy inside me, it’s contained once more…

Perhaps that’s something to do with the way I feel though…as soon as Max started up his connection, I felt as though I was home and its just so right… Before, I didn’t know what I was doing, I was lost, but now, I’m found, in him… I knew this before, but my conviction is now even stronger. Max makes me whole…

As he pulls away slightly, closing his eyes and ending the connection, I feel like I’m losing something and I can feel my body crying out to try and stop it happening. All too soon it’s over though and I’m looking down at my hands…nestled inside those of Max…

“Are you ok…?”

I look up, hearing his voice and find myself getting lost again in his eyes. I can’t allow that to happen though and I fight to keep centred and focused. Slowly I nod and chew my lip nervously. “What happened there…?” I ask him softly. I know that he’s probably as much in the dark as me but I can’t help it…I need to ask…

*MAX*

"I don't know," I admit, moving to sit next to her without releasing her hands. Our meta-physical connection is closed just now, but I'm not ready to lose the physical one. "It felt like when Michael was sick. Your energy was all out of balance." Mine, too, I add, silently.

"But," she whispers in the darkness. "I don't have that kind of energy. I'm ... normal."

I shake my head, biting the inside of my lip. "Not any more. I don't know how it happened, but something's changed. You're different, now."

I look into her eyes, wondering how she's going to react. While I don't know how it happened, it's pretty obvious that it must have been something I did. Maybe when I healed her. Maybe when I've made the connection with her then and on other occasions. She's always accepted me being different, but she might not feel the same way, now that it's her.

~* Isabel*~


I grinned as I saw that as usual Alex was seeming to have a difficult time trying to get his thoughts in order with his words.

“So, your dad, mine and Mr Parker seem to be getting on well…” Alex comments, “…although I can’t say my dad doesn’t stick out…I guess it’ll be pretty obvious that we don’t do this sort of thing much…” He admits after a moment.

“I thought it might be fun for a change, but I think I’m getting the picture I’m just not suited to it…” Alex's words brought surprise to my lips and I took a moment before I responded.

"Alex, anyone is capable of surviving and being suited to nature if they have practice and take the time to simply enjoy the aspects of camping rather then the idea that there isn't a computer in sight." I grinned knowing that he was more then likely missing technology a great deal.

OOC: Alex will probably come tomrrow

~Liz~

“You’re different now…”

I hear the words, but I can’t really take them in… I’ve known about Michael, Max and Isabel for a while now, but the idea that I might be like them now…it just doesn’t seem real…

I’m normal…I have unusual friends but that’s all…or it used to be anyway, apparently not anymore…

I can’t really suggest that he’s wrong, because from the way I feel, I know that he’s right… That energy has been there for some time, lurking under the surface, silently waiting for a chance to come out and show us that something’s changed…

There’s no thought of Max going away right now and I look up, meeting his eyes. I’m scared…not so much of what is happening though…but of having to go through it alone… If I ‘wanted’ to be with Max before, I need him now… I swallow and finally speak. “Don’t leave me…”

*MAX*

"No, I won't. I can't," I tell her. It's true. Right now, although the connection is closed, I still feel like I need to be there near her. I'm not exactly sure why. Not the emotional need - how much I love her. But there's something else. It's almost physical and I don't understand it.

I put my arm around her shoulders and rub her upper arm as she leans her head against my chest. "I'm here. ... I'm here..." I repeat, soothingly. I'm calming myself as much as I am her.

What was that? It really felt so very much like the time Michael was off-balance. That energy wasn't normal. Not human. How did that happen? What did I do to her? Can I fix it or will trying to heal her again only make it worse? I wish I had an answer.

~*TESS*~

Standing in the shade of a tree, hidden in the deepening shadows I watch him interact with a slight girl with long brown hair. I don't know who she is, but a vise of fear grips my heart as I watch them together. I'm waiting for him, but somehow he only has eyes for her. I want to turn away, but I need to see how this plays out.

OOC: sorry I didn't get this up last night, I didn't actually realise you'd posted Isabelle . Anwyay, here's my response, if you think anything needs changing feel free to say.

~Liz~

“No, I won’t…I can’t…”

Just hearing those words make me feel so much better…right now I don’t know what I’d do if he left. I just feel as though I need to be close to him… It’s more than the fact that I love him…it’s as though I NEED him right now… Even just the thought of him leaving is causing the energy inside to flair up a little again, although nothing on the scale of before…

“I’m here…I’m here…”

Max puts his arm around my shoulder, rubbing me and holding me close as I lean against his chest. Instantly my control on the energy strengthens and I concentrate for a moment, pushing it back down inside until I’m barely conscious of its presence once more.

What’s happening to me…? I really don’t know… This isn’t normal though…this isn’t human… When Maria first found out about Max, she had asked about possible side effects and I had brushed her off. I had never believed that something like that would really happen… I hadn’t even thought about it… It’s looking like I was wrong though…something that Max did has changed me… I swallow and bite my lip, knowing that I should probably move but not wanting to… I just want to stay exactly where I am…with him…

Finally, forcing myself to pull away a little, I look up at him and see the conflict in his eyes. He’s worried about what this means too…worried about what he might have done… I take his hand. “Max…I don’t know what this means, and I don’t know what’s going to happen…but what I do know is that you saved my life the day of the shooting…without you, I wouldn’t still be here…” My words may not really make much sense, but I’m just trying to cut off the guilt I have a feeling is surfacing inside him.

This doesn’t mean that I’m not scared though and I look down a moment trying to keep control of my emotions. When I think they’re level again, I turn my head to look at him again. “I know that you said we needed to take a step back Max…but I’m scared of having to go through whatever is happening on my own…” I pause a moment before continuing. “I love you Max…I need you…”

OOC: sorry for the delay storm, I'm a little stuck for what to put for Alex at the moment so I hope this will work for you.

~Alex~

“Alex, anyone is capable of surviving and being suited to nature if that have practice and take the time to simply enjoy the aspects of camping rather than the idea that thee isn’t a computer in sight…”

If I were to say that I’m surprised by Isabel’s response, that would be an understatement and I grin. I guess she knows me pretty well…I have to admit that I would feel an awful lot more comfortable sat in front of my computer right now.

The again I would hardly think that Isabel’s having a great time either… She hadn’t looked the most comfortable and it’s not secret to me that the fact Isabel and Max are here is nothing to do with the joy of camping.

“Okay, so I admit I miss my computer…if it weren’t for your fancy powers I’m sure you’d be the same regarding the hairdryer…” I tease her in almost a whisper. I shrug and look round. Seeing that everyone else seems occupied I decide that it’s safe to talk and look over at Isabel. “So…what’s the plan with you and Max tonight…?”

(I'm all alone x.x Lol so is it ok if Maria and Michael aren't together? I just was wondering if I could spice things up in this rp. ^^))

~Maria~

Well here I am. Sitting by the fire. Alone.

"Great.."

I'm so bored. Did I mention that? I'm sure I did. Most likely 10,000,000 times already and still wouldn't have done anything. Damn Liz and her power of persussion!

And of course where is Liz right now? The same Liz who promised me that this camping trip would be fun. She's over with Max snuggling, cuddling, fondling, ewww I dont even wanna think bout it. And Alex, oh so faithful Whitman, is with Isabel.

"She's probably sucking his life force out right now...."

I sigh and shook my head before picking up a stick and pulling it in and out of the fire. 'I really need a life....'

I could have joined Kyle and played some cards but to faith the rath of Senior Valenti is not cool.

I throw the stick into the fire and watch it burn.

"....much like my sanity."

Of course it's alright if Maria and Michael aren't together in this one. I have no problems with that...


~Isabel~

“Okay, so I admit I miss my computer…if it weren’t for your fancy powers I’m sure you’d be the same regarding the hairdryer…” Alex teases and for a second I tense before looking around to see that no one was paying attention. Once I was certain, I relaxed and turned back to face him.

With a slight smile I nodded, "You're right, I would be." Truth be told that if it wasn't for the fact that I could do just about anything for my hair and make-up I would not have been in these woods."

“So…what’s the plan with you and Max tonight…?” Alex asks me and I know exactly what he means.

Shaking my head I admit, "Other then attempting to find an opening, we haven't really devised a plan. The Sherriff being here isn't really helping matter's at the moment."

I felt as though we were being watched, but as I glanced around I didn't see anything that seemed to be suspicious. Looking back at Alex, I shrugged. "I think we'll basically be playing it by ear and waiting till everyone is asleep."
