PT. 1

“Hey Yo, up here!” Seven sets of eyes swiveled towards the rough voice, the same eyes widening as they took in the sight before them. Rath smirked as he moved down the stairs, Lonnie and Ava flanking him. They came to a stop before the others, enjoying their discomfort.

Rath spotted Liz, smirking at her while Max stared at him in bewilderment. Introductions were passed around, before Rath got down to business. He addressed Max directly. “Something’s cookin…something that’s gonna affect all of us. Could we talk in private?’ Max nodded, gesturing for Rath to follow him.

Maria discretely watched Rath walk by her, checking him out from behind. “Definitely freaky, but god he’s hot.” Her checking Rath out didn’t go unnoticed by Michael though he chose not to comment.

Once in the office, Rath laid it all out on the table. “Zan ain’t dead.” Max’s eyes widened in surprise. “How…” he said softly, Rath toying with his lip ring. “Lonnie wanted him dead, coz she wants to go home. I pushed him in front of da truck, while Zan warped her and Ava into believing he was road kill.”

Max swallowed again. “Why come here then?’ he asked softly. Rath shrugged. “Zan’s da man…he wants Lonnie to believe it, and we need da king to rep us at da summit. Coz Lonnie thinks he’s dead, we need ya to come back to New York with us.” Max swallowed. “What if she tries to kill me too?” he asked softly.

Rath smirked. “Ya ain’t my king,” he purred. Max swallowed again, seeing the main differences between Rath and Michael. Rath’s loyalties lay with Zan…not him. It was like looking at a distorted image of Michael. Rath smirked again. “She won’t try nothin…not when she thinks ya too cornball not to help at da summit. Stupid bitch is blinded by greed…family means nothin to her, not compared to Kivar.”

Max nodded, Rath leaning against the table. “It ain’t gonna be pretty when Lonnie realizes Zan’s still alive. Ya gonna have to play it cool…make her believe she’s winning. Then we can take her out from there.” Max blinked at how casual Rath sounded.

“So I just follow your lead.” Max said. Rath nodded, a smirk crossing his face again. “I’ll have to think about this.” Rath hadn’t expected Max to agree right away and it was probably better that he didn’t. It would give Zan more time to come up with a plan.

Maria and Liz were in one of the back rooms. Maria glanced over to where Alex was fast asleep deciding that now would be the best time to ask what she was talking about how Liz had already meet Rath. “So how did you meet Michael’s dupe?” Maria asked. Liz sighed. “He kissed me.”

“He kissed you, and you failed to mention this,” Maria stated bluntly. “I thought he was Michael” Liz said. “Oh so my boyfriend slips you the tongue . . . ” Liz cut Maria off. “But it wasn’t Michael. From the way you are acting it’s like you have a thing for him,” Liz said trying to defend herself. Maria blinked going to respond to Liz’s comment when Alex woke up interrupting their conversation.

Max and Rath walk out of the back room, Max heading over to talk with Isabel, Michael, and Tess while Rath went over to talk with Lonnie and Ava. “They want me to go to New York with them, for some summit meeting.” Max said softly. “We’re not invited?” asked Michael

Max was stopped from explaining when they heard someone opening the doors to the UFO museum. Max motioned for Rath, Lonnie and Ava to get out of sight. Rath doubled back when he hears “ What? Is there a party, funny I wasn’t invited. And who are you?”

Michael looked to see Rath standing beside him. “Huh Brody this is uh, my twin brother, Rath.” “Oh, I didn’t know you had a brother” Brody said in surprise. “I’m from New York.” Stated Rath said, his amusement obvious by the tone of his voice.

Maria walked out of the back room, and seeing the problem at hand, walked over to Brody, taking his attention away from the others. “Hi” Maria said, a smile crossing her face. Brody smiled, suddenly forgetting what was going on behind him, no longer caring why everyone was there. “Hi” Brody said, his whole face lighting up.

“You know how you asked me about lunch?” Maria asked. “Uh-huh” Brody murmered. “How about breakfast?” Maria asked. Maria hooked her arm into Brody’s arm leading him away from Rath and Michael. “Stay as long as you like.” Said Brody. Rath watched Maria and Brody walking up the stairs leading out of the museum. He didn’t like seeing her with him, it made him feel something he had never felt before and he didn’t like it. “Want me to kill him for ya?” he asked Michael, who watched Maria walking away with Brody before glancing at Rath responding, “I’ll get back to you.”

Later that evening Max, Tess, Rath, Lonnie and Ava were all at the Trans am ready to leave when Ava decided that she was not going. Rath couldn’t make her come along without making Lonnie think that something was up. He shook his head, opening the driver’s side door and climbing behind the wheel of the trans am. Lonnie opened the passenger side door and climbed into the passenger seat and Max and Tess climbed into the back. Rath looked into the rear view mirror smirking at the how Max looked uncomfortable. He put the car into reverse, backing the car up, then putting the car in drive, headed for New York City.

They arrived in New York City a couple days later. Max and Tess went site seeing while Lonnie and Rath went to meet up with Nicholas. “There he is” Lonnie said. Lonnie and Rath walked over to Nicholas, who was coming up out of the subway. “You get me the granolith or we have no deal,” Nicholas stated. Lonnie smiled. “Ya will get the Granolith, go their coming.” Nicholas walked back down the stairs to the subway, as Max and Tess crossed the street, coming over to Rath and Lonnie.

“Ready to see our crib?” Rath asked. Max nodded, almost afraid to see where they lived. They were just so different from Michael and Isabel, especially Lonnie. She threw off a weird vibe, causing chills to skate down Max’s spine every time he looked at her. Max still didn’t understand how he fit into all of this.


Max followed Rath and Lonnie down the street to a subway station on Lexington Avenue. Tess glanced at Max wondering where Rath and Lonnie were leading them too. She wondered if they would ever get there after taking several tunnels finally coming to Rath and Lonnie’s crib. Max looked around noticing the pods were imbedded into the wall above some shelves against the one wall. An old beat up blue couch was near the shelves where Lonnie was now sitting. Max sat down in an old beat up chair near the couch facing Lonnie and Rath. “When is this summit meeting?”

Tess sat down in the chair next to Max still feeling very uncomfortable and out of place. “I’ll take ya to the emissary, so they can make sure ya da king” Rath said easily.
Max nodded his head, hoping that when they went to meet with this emissary, Rath would fill him in on his plans for Lonnie.

A few hours later, Rath and Max left the sewers heading to an old warehouse to meet with the emissary. The emissary walked behind Max, placing his hand against the back of his skull. A blue lighted emitted from Max’s forehead, dispersing against the wall forming a V out of five bright lights. The emissary reached into his briefcase handing Max a piece of paper. He closed the briefcase getting up from the table. Max looked at the piece of paper as he got up out of the chair noticing that it was just a time clock. Rath noticed Max’s confusion and smirked before explaining.

“Ya see da emissary never left his crib.” Rath wrapped his arm around Max’s neck leading him out of the warehouse. They were almost back to Rath’s crib when Max decided he needed to know what was going down tomorrow. “So what happens tomorrow?” he asked. Rath smirked. “Ya just go to da meetin’ dats all ya gotta worry about” he said.

Max lay awake for the longest time, wondering how Rath could have anything to do with Lonnie, concidering she was so willing to betray them. The more he thought about the situation, the more he figured Rath didn’t have much of a choice. He shuddered at what might happen, if Lonnie found out Rath was actually betraying her before the meeting. His eyes closed when he could no longer keep them open.

Tess snuggled into Max’s warm toned body, loving the fact that they had to share a bed. Max woke up slowly the next morning, glancing down at the head of blonde curls spread over his T-shirt. He surmised that sometime during the night he must have wrapped his arms around her. Rath stuck his head into the room, knowing he wasn’t going to see something he didn’t want too. Max was just too much of a prude.

“Yo rise and shine” he called. Max nodded his head, before trying to unwrap Tess’s small body from around his. Rath laughed, quickly ducking back out of the room. Tess slowly opened her blue eyes looking up into Max’s brown eyes. “Sorry” Tess mumbled, while thinking Liz doesn’t want you, but I still can’t get your attention. What’s it going to take? Tess moved away from Max, pushing back the old blanket as she sat up. “That’s okay” Max said, hoping she didn’t notice that his body had responded to her.

Rath went over to the couch, and sat down next to Lonnie. Lonnie smirked, watching Max and Tess walk out of the back room. “Did ya do the beast with two backs?” she chuckled. Max ignored Lonnie’s comment, sitting down in one of the chairs. “So when is this summit meeting?” Lonnie moved her hands in front of her. “Chill we get ya to da church on time.” Max shook his head, having a hard time understanding them. He couldn’t grip the way they spoke. “Ya will get there,” Rath said.

Rath smirked as he sat there, comparing Zan and Max. “Can he gets anymore cornball, he’s a special kinda stupid.” Rath decided that he was hungry. “Why don’t we go get some grub?” Max nodded his head feeling kind of hungry.


Meanwhile back in Roswell, Liz found Ava behind the dumpster when she took trash out. “What are you doing here?” Ava lifted her head off the cardboard box. “Sleepin’. What does it look like?” Liz dumped the trash, and then turned towards Ava. “You can’t sleep out here. Come inside.” Ava quickly got up off the ground following Liz through the back door of the Crash Down.

“Why didn’t you go with Rath and Lonnie?” Ava looked up at Liz, her blue eyes betraying her feelings as she lied. “Was too tight.” Liz nodded her head, knowing Ava wasn’t telling her everything. Ava sat down on the couch, looking around. Liz sat down next to her, curious about the dupes. “So you and Zan.” Ava smiled sadly. “Zan and me were together, but not in da way that counted.”

Ava looked at Liz silently. “He was cool though. Always lookin out for me, tryin to do what was right for us.” Liz smiled softly. “You must have loved him a lot,” she said softly. Ava nodded sadly. “Yeah. But I don’t think he ever loved me back. He was always lookin’ for something else. You would have fit him perfect.” Liz blushed, wondering what it would be like with a darker, rougher version of Max.

Kyle suddenly walked in through the back doors. “What’s up? I couldn’t sleep.” He looked at Ava licking his lips, damn. Liz tried not to laugh noticing that Kyle obviously thought Ava was hot. Ava noticed Kyle’s reaction, quickly looking his hard body up and down. Kyle noticed that she looked like Tess but was a punk. “Um Liz . . . ” Liz interrupted Kyle. “This is Ava. She’s Tess’s dupe.”

Kyle shifted on his feet, forgetting why he stopped over. “I’m going to go out front to get some breakfast,” he said finally. He walked through the back doors, and going over to the booth where Alex was sitting, slid into the opposite seat. Alex smiled. “Morning.” Kyle nodded his head, waiting for the waitress to come over. Maria walked over to their booth with her pen and order pad ready to take their order. “What will it be?”

Alex looked up at Maria. “Space jacks, and coffee.” Maria wrote down Alex’s order waiting for Kyle’s. “I want green eggs and moon rock hash, with a coffee.” Maria wrote down Kyle’s order. “I’ll be right back with your drinks after I put your order in.” She walked away from the table going over to where Michael was working, giving him the order.


“Hey, what is you doing after work?” Michael asked. Maria smiled, wondering why Michael suddenly wanted to know what she had planned. Michael continued to flip pancakes on the grill waiting for Maria to answer him. “I have plans. I have to get Kyle and Alex’s drinks” Maria said, walking back behind the counter and getting the cups ready. Picking up the cups, she walked over to the booth Alex and Kyle were sitting in, setting their cups of coffee down in front of them.

“Your food should be ready soon,” Maria said. Alex nodded his head. “We still on for our girls night at Liz’s?” Maria nodded her head. “Ava’s here too” Kyle said. Maria smiled, thinking that it would be nice to get to know Ava. She seemed nice, different but still nice. “Kyle why don’t you join us for girls night,” Alex asked. Kyle shrugged his shoulders. “Sure.” “I’m going to go see if your orders are up” Maria said.

She walked back over to Michael, just as he yelled, “Maria, orders up.” “Right here, you don’t need to yell” Maria snarled. She picked up the two plates, walking away from Michael before he could even respond.

Rath, Lonnie, Tess, and Max walked down First Street, heading towards the old abandoned building. Max glanced nervously over at Rath and Lonnie, still not feeling very good about being near Lonnie. She creeped him out. Lonnie was kind of like having Pierce close to him again. The thought made his skin crawl.

They entered the warehouse, going inside one of the rooms. Max saw Brody standing there. “Brody?” Max asked. “Actually its Larek. Are you Zan?” Brody asked. “No, I’m Max Evans.” Max noticed that there were three other people besides Brody, who must each be a representative of their planet. Brody introduced each person. “Kathana, Sero, Hanar, and I will represent our planets. Max will represent his. Nicholas walked into the room. “Actually, Kivar represents his world, and I speak for Kivar” he said.

Nicholas sat down in the chair across from Max. He glanced over at Tess smirking at her. “Killed anyone today?” Nicholas asked. “Day’s not over” Tess spat. “Such a charmer” Nicolas chuckled dryly. Lonnie leant down to Max. “You know him?” she whispered. “He was in Roswell” Max said. “Can we get down to business?” Brody asked impatiently.

Nicholas nodded his head, wanting to get what he had planned, over and done with. Rath stepped closer to Lonnie, as Zan stepped out into the open. “I’ll save ya da trouble,” Zan growled. Larek got up from the table, walking over to Lonnie and placing cuffs around her wrists, which melted as they joined to her DNA. “You are being granted your wish in a sense. You will be teleported back to my home planet where you will be sentenced to death for the attempted murder of Zan” Larek purred.

Rath walked over to Zan, and standing next to him, regarded Lonnie with pure hated. “Rath?” Lonnie asked weakly. “Ya a special kinda stupid. Ya thought I would betray me bro,” Rath growled. Lonnie glared at Rath as realization set in, understanding the flash she had gotten from him last night. “She’s human” Lonnie said. Rath smirked raising his right eyebrow pondering what Lonnie was saying. Max watched Nicholas slip out the back door, slithering away like the snake he was.

“This was a waste of our time” Kathana yelled. “I would never have given Nicholas what he wanted. I don’t trust him. Besides he ran out the back soon as Larek cuffed Lonnie” Max stated calmly. Kathana, Sero, and Hanar glared at everyone, before getting up from the table. They walked out the back door leaving Larek alone with Zan, Rath, Lonnie, Max and Tess.

“I need to get her to where the transport will take place. This is taking a lot of our resources” Brody said. Brody lead Lonnie out the door to the designated transport. Tess hadn’t taken her eyes off Zan since he had entered the room. Zan smirked, thinking not in this lifetime. He turned his attention to Max. “ Thanks for agreeing to help, when ya didn’t have to.” Max nodded his head “I would hope you would help us if we ever needed it.”

Maria, Alex, and Kyle walked into Liz’s house for girl’s night. She wondered where Ava was since Kyle had said she was with Liz. “Where’s Ava?” Maria asked. “She left shortly after Kyle went into the Crash Down earlier something about getting back to her crib to get her stuff” Liz said. Kyle sat down on her couch trying to hide his disappointment, which didn’t go unnoticed by Liz.

“Ava said she would keep in touch,” she told him softly. Kyle rewarded her words with a brilliant smile. Maria sat down on the couch next to Kyle as Alex sat down on the other side of Maria. Liz sat down in her futon looking over at Alex. “What movies did you bring?” Liz asked. “Underworld. Thought it worked for action and hot guy” Alex answered. Alex got up from the couch and put the DVD on.

“We are going to catch a flight back to Roswell” Max said. Zan nodded his head, wanting to get back to their crib and relax. “Rath, where’s Ava?” Zan asked. “She refused to come back, coz she’s thinkin I killed ya” Rath said softly, his anger clear in his voice. Damn Lonnie. “What?” Tess gasped. “Long story. Max can tell ya on ya flight back to Roshell” Rath spat.

Rath really didn’t like Tess. She was just so different from his sister Ava. He wondered if Michael even knew that Tess was his sister. Zan’s fingers twirled the silver ball pierced through his chin trying to think of what to do about Ava not being there. He finally decided that she would have to come back to their crib to get her stuff. After she did, he would explain to her what went down.

“Well, Tess and I are going to get a cab to the airport” Max said. Zan and Rath both nodded their heads. “See ya.” Max and Tess walked out to the street hailing a cab. When a cab stopped Max opened the back door letting Tess climb into the cab then climbing in after her and closing the door. He looked at Zan and Rath one final time, once more seeing the distorted images.

Zan and Rath walked down the street, going down the stairs to the tunnels and back to their crib. He looked around realizing that they had to move: too many bad memories. “We stay here until Ava shows. Then I want to get an apartment,” Zan said, leaving no room for argument. Rath nodded his head in agreement. He never cared to see his bedroom again, and he so wanted a scalding hot shower, wanting Lonnie’s touch off his skin. “I’m gonna crash on da couch,” Rath said. He smirked, thinking about a certain blonde haired, green-eyed beauty.

Maria closed her bedroom door and walked over to her bed. Stripping off her clothes, she threw them onto the floor, and pulled a silk camisole over her head. Pulling back the covers, she climbed into her bed. She laid her head down on the pillows and pulled the sheets and blankets up over her body covering herself. Rath seemed like he was waiting on the dream plane forever. “Is ya ever gonna go ta sleep?” he thought. He felt the shift in the dream plane as Maria drifted off to sleep.

Maria gasped, not expecting to find Rath in her dreams. “Not only did I think he was hot now he’s in my dreams” she babbled to herself. Rath smirked, his heated gaze running up and down her body, silently wishing she would dream about being naked. “I wanted ta thank ya” Rath said. Maria stared at Rath, wondering why he would be thanking her. “Ya helped me,” he explained. Rath walked over to Maria, gently running his large calloused hand down her cheek. Maria trembled, feeling his gentle touch, her eyes sliding shut at his touch.

“When ya gets sick of Roshell, come to da city. I’ll explain then” he said softly, his voice full of hidden promises. Maria watched Rath fade from her dream, leaving her shaking silently with need, which had sprung up out of nowhere.

Max and Tess stepped off the plane, and walked through the terminal back into the Roswell airport. They crossed over to the automatic doors, which opened, and they stepped through. One of the first things Max noticed was the quiet. He smiled. “ So nice to be home.”

Max hailed a Taxi and opened the back door for Tess, before sliding into the seat after her. “Where to?” the cab driver asked. “One hundred and ten Mayberry Street,” Max stated. The driver nodded his head pulling the car onto the road. A short while later the cab driver stopped the car.

“That will be forty dollars,” the cab driver said. Max reached into his back pocket, and took out his wallet. He opened his wallet, and removed two twenties, handed them to the cabbie. “Have a nice night,” the cabbie said. Max opened the car door, and climbed out. Tess climbed out after Max, closing the car door behind her. “Michael won’t mind we are here this late?” Tess asked. “No” Max answered.

Max walked to Michael’s front door, and placed his hand on the door handle, using his powers to open the door. They walked into Michael’s apartment quietly, closing the door behind them. Walking into the living room, they found Michael sleeping on his couch. Michael sensed someone standing there, so he opened his brown eyes and looked up at Max.

“See you made it back in one piece” Michael said softly, the accusations clear in his tone. He was still unhappy about being left behind. Max nodded his head yes then said, “I want to have a meeting and tell everyone why I really went to the summit meeting.” “The whole group?” Michael asked. “No, I’ll just have to call Isabel” Max said softly, his fight with her still fresh in his mind.

“She’s asleep in my bedroom” Michael replied. Tess smiled, still hoping that Michael and Isabel would embrace their destiny. Michael sat up, getting off the couch and walking into his bedroom. He walked over to his bed and sat down on the edge near Isabel. He gently touched her shoulder saying, “Iz, Max and Tess are back.”

Isabel opened her brown eyes staring up at Michael. She pushed the covers back before climbing out of the bed. “Good, maybe Max will tell me what is going on, since you wouldn’t” Isabel spat, stalking out of the room. Michael shook his head, slowly getting up off the bed, and following Isabel out of his bedroom. Isabel sat down on the couch next to Tess, impatiently waiting for Max to explain his trip to New York City. Michael sat down in his rocker recliner, getting comfortable knowing Max and his speeches.

“When Rath, Lonnie and Ava showed up a couple of days ago and Rath said that Zan died in a freak accident, that was a lie. When Rath and I went to talk in the back room he told me Zan was alive but Lonnie had come to him wanting Zan dead” Max said. “Wait… Zan’s alive?” Isabel exclaimed. “Then why have you and Tess go to New York.” “Zan mind warped, Lonnie and Ava making them think that Rath had killed him like she wanted” Max stated flatly.

Max paused letting what he had told them so far sink in. “They needed me so that Lonnie could be taken away at the meeting. From what I gathered, the meeting was a sham. Lonnie was working with Nicholas trying to get the Granolith” Max explained. “It was her one chance of getting home, something Zan and Rath didn’t want to do.”

Tess listened quietly, still trying to figure out what Lonnie’s comment was about. ‘But she is human’ she heard Lonnie say again. “I would have never guessed Rath was working against Lonnie. Not the way they were all over each other” Tess said, shooting a pointed glance in Michael and Isabel. “ It was kinda disturbing. Like seeing Michael and Isabel making out” Max said with an involuntary shudder.

Isabel made a face. “No offence, but Michael and me? Ewww.” “I can’t see us together either” Michael said with a laugh. “I’m still trying to figure out what Lonnie meant about she’s human” Tess said. Isabel sat there trying to decide if she was going to tell Max about over hearing the reasons behind Liz saying we already meet. Max noticed Isabel becoming suddenly quiet and wondered what she was thinking.

“Rath went to the school pretending to be Michael and kissed Liz” Isabel finally said, shooting a worried look at Max. Michael looked like he was about to get sick. “You mean people at school think I kissed Liz?” Michael asked weakly. “From what I heard it was with tongue too,” Isabel laughed. Isabel noticed Michael looked like he was going to throw up.

“I don’t think the human Lonnie was referring to was Liz” Max said. Michael turned toward Max glaring at him. “I don’t know any human who would want to be with them. They live in the sewers” Tess commented snidely. “The Crash Down should be opening soon, why don’t we go get some breakfast” Max suggested. He didn’t want to discuss their dupes anymore.

Maria slowly opened her green eyes, moaning in frustration when she moved her body. Her legs rubbed together, reminding her of her dream. Throwing back the covers, she climbed out of bed and walked into her bathroom. Mumbling to her self, she turned on the hot and cold-water faucets, adjusting the water till just the right temperature. She stepped into the shower. Closing the curtain, she pulled up the shower level. The water sprayed out of the shower head, the cold water hitting her body before turning back to warm.

“He barely touched me . . .” Maria whispered, the memory of Rath’s hands lingering in her mind. She reached over the shower head taking down the scrubby then reached down and picked up a bottle of lavender body wash. Squeezing the soap onto the scrubby she slowly moved the scrubby around her soft body, imagining the scrubby were Rath’s calloused hands.

Liz flipped the sign to open and unlocked the doors of the Crash Down. Maria ran in a few minutes later. “You’re late” Liz commented, shooting Maria a worried look. “I know. Sorry, I over slept” Maria quickly explained. The bell over the door chimed, signaling someone was coming into the restaurant. Maria and Liz looked over, seeing Max, Tess, Isabel and Michael walk over to their usual booth.

“I’ll get them,” Maria offered. “No it’s ok Maria, I’ll get them. They are in my section” Liz said softly. “You sure, cause I know there’s been tension between you and Max lately” Maria said. Liz nodded her head yes, already walking over to the booth they were sitting in. She took her order pad and pen out ready to take their orders. “Hi. What can I get for you?” Liz asked.

“Does Maria work till close tonight?” Michael asked. Liz shook her head, wondering why Michael was asking her. “Do the two of you have plans later?” Michael asked again. “Why are you asking me?” Liz asked. Michael got up from the booth, quickly walking over to Maria. “What are you doing after work?” Michael asked. “Going home” Maria answered. “Want to come over?” Michael asked hopefully. “Michael, I already told you that I don’t want to get into what we had before” Maria explained softly. Michael grabbed Maria’s hand, taking her into the backroom.

“I don’t see why he just doesn’t leave her alone” Tess commented. Liz had written their orders down and was walking over to Jose, when she heard Tess comment. “Maybe he can’t take no for an answer” thought Liz She gave Jose their order, before slipping out into the backroom to rescue Maria. “Maria, are you working today, or making out with Michael” Liz asked sarcastically. “I’m working,” Maria stated firmly. She turned to Michael. “I have to work, maybe I can come over after I get stuff done at home.” Maria walked back through into the diner with Michael right behind her.


Liz walked back over to their booth, placing their drinks down in front of them. Michael walked back over, sliding back into his seat. “Liz?” Michael questioned. “Yes” Liz asked. “Did you think it was me that kissed you at school?” Michael asked. “Yeah, I thought maybe you were drunk” Liz answered softly, shooting a quick glance at Max, who glared up at her. Liz quickly walked away, not wanting to hear any more about the kiss. All she could keep thinking about, was that Maria sure had a fit about the kiss, almost like she wished it was her or that she had a thing for Rath.

Maria walked over to the booth Alex and Kyle were sitting in. “What can I get you guys?” she asked. “Just coffee” Alex answered. “Kyle?” Maria asked. “Same,” Kyle answered. Maria nodded her head walking behind the counter. She set their cups down on the counter filling them with coffee. Picking the cups back up she carried them over to their table setting the cups down in front of them.

Liz walked back over to Max, Michael, Tess, and Isabel’s booth setting their food down in front of them. She placed the bill on the table saying “Just yell if you need something else” before she walked away from their booth. Maria walked back over to the counter telling Liz “It’s pretty slow today.” “I know” Liz said. “Michael wants me to come over to his apartment after work” Maria told her. “Are you going to?” Liz asked. “I don’t know” Maria answered sadly.

Michael pushed his food around on his plate, not really hungry. He was wondering what was up with Maria. He had noticed that Max seemed kind of moody toward Liz, and he wondered if it had something to do with the rumor going around that Liz and Kyle slept together. Isabel finished her food getting up from the table. “I’m going to go talk to Alex. He’s supposed to be leaving for Sweden soon” Isabel said softly. “See you later” Max said. “See you at home” Isabel said. She walked over to the booth Alex and Kyle were sitting in, sliding into the seat beside Alex.

“I’m going to head out too” Max stated. “Me too” Tess said quickly. Max and Tess got up from the booth. Max walked over to the register, paying for their food. Michael decided that he wasn’t going to sit there looking like a lost puppy dog in hopes Maria would change her mind. He got up from the booth following Max and Tess out of the Crash Down.

Liz debated on whether or not she wanted to say anything to Maria or not. She decided to wait until after Isabel felt so she wouldn’t over hear and run right back to Michael. Isabel, Alex and Kyle got up a few minutes later. They paid the bill at the register, and then left the Crash Down. Maria noticed that Liz seemed to be deep in thought. “Spill” Maria commanded. “First promise me you are not going to take this the wrong way” Liz pleaded. “I promise” Maria said in surprise.

“I was just thinking that you had a major freak out about Rath kissing me, and I was wondering if it was because you thought it was Michael or became you knew it was Rath” Liz questioned. Maria chewed on her bottom lip not really sure what the answer was. “If you have a thing for Rath, you should tell Michael you no longer want to be with him. It’s only fair.” Liz said softly. “I know. What are you doing after work?” Maria asked. “Nothing. Want to hang and talk?” Liz asked. Maria nodded her head. “Yes.”

PT 3

Ava walked the dark lonely streets of New York City, hoping she wouldn’t run into Rath and Lonnie. She reached Lexington Avenue and turned right, walking down the street until she reached the entrance to the subway. Walking down the stairs and into the subway, she kept her ears open, listening for sounds that would alert her to danger.

Once in the subway Ava ducked behind an old abandoned subway car, and through a whole in the wall that lead to the tunnels. She walked through the tunnels, stepping over several big puddles of muddy water and a couple of pipes along the way, until she finally reached her old crib. As soon as she saw the old blue couch, she stopped dead in her tracks, not believing what she was seeing. Ava rubbed her eyes, thinking she was seeing things.

Zan and Rath were sitting on the couch, looking through a newspaper. Zan looked up from the newspaper, spotting Ava standing there. “Took ya long enough ta get back. Though I don’t think Rath woulda minded another trip ta Rozhell” Zan said with a familiar smirk. Rath smiled, thinking about the one thing in Rozhell worth seeing. “Ya must be buggin out right now,” Rath stated calmly.

Ava glanced around the room, searching for Lonnie but not finding her. She placed her hands on her hips, her blue eyes sparkling with anger as she glared at Zan and Rath. “Last thing I remember was you,” Ava pointed at Rath. “Pushing him” Ava said pointing to Zan. “In front of a Mac truck. Ya used ya powers, makin da truck run him over” Ava yelled. Ava paused, glaring at the both of them in anger.

Zan got up off the couch walking toward Ava. “Don’t ya dare touch me?” Ava yelled. “Ya do, and I’ll kill ya my self.” Zan stopped, putting his hands up in the air. “Iz sorry, I couldn’t take da chance Lonnie would finds out.” Zan explained. “Come sit down. We’ll explain everything,” Rath said.

Ava walked over to the chair, slumping down in anger and fear. “Well?” Ava demanded, tapping her small foot on the dirty cement floor. “Lonnie came ta me. She wanted Zan dead. So I went ta Zan, told him what Lonnie had cookin”. Rath paused for a moment to collect his thoughts. Zan gave him a sympathetic look, picking up the story.

“Rath told me he thought Lonnie was doing da beast with two backs with someone else. I followed her one day, keepin my distance. She was with Nicholas. I over heard him tellin her about a way home if she could get the Granolith and me to da summit. She told Nicholas I refused da last time she asked me. So he told Lonnie about Max” Zan informed Ava. “It was after That, that Lonnie told me she had found us away home but Zan wouldn’t bite, so we needed to off him” Rath said softly.

Ava glared at both Zan and Rath, still angry that they had kept it from her, even though she knew that they were trying to protect her. “I know ya both were trying to protect me, but Iz still mad,” she said softly. Ava glanced around the crib still expecting to see Lonnie jump out at her. Zan noticed Ava’s uneasiness. “Lonnie is gone never comin back. I talked with Larek before da meetin. He took her back for execution” Zan said. Ava could tell from the tone of Zan’s voice that he was not feeling any remorse.

Meanwhile back in Roswell, Maria changed out of her uniform, slipping her T-shirt over her head and stepping into her jeans. Liz came in the backroom, a smile playing on her lips. “Just come up. I’m going to go change,” she said. Maria took out her small black purse and closed her locker. She walked up the stair, opening the front door to Liz’s apartment. Walking inside and closing the front door behind herself, she waited for Liz.

Liz walked out of her bedroom wearing a pair of black jeans and a light blue T-shirt. “We can talk in my bedroom. I’m just going to get a drink first,” Liz said as she walked into the kitchen. She walked back into the living room carrying two cans of Pepsi. Handing one to Maria, they walked through the living room and down the hall into her bedroom. They set their drinks down on Liz’s bed stand, before climbing onto Liz’s twin bed and
curling their legs up Indian style. Maria sat down on the bed next to her sitting in the same position as Liz.

“So why are you avoiding Michael?” Liz asked. Maria thought about what Liz asked her, her cheeks flaming as she started to babble. “I never got over him kissing Courtney, ya know, and then he stole her husk when we went to coppers summit to save you, Max, Tess, and Isabel. Michael says that Courtney could give him answers to his past but I can’t help thinking that there is more to it than that. Oh and then he told her about the Granolith” Maria babbled.

“So your major issue with Michael is Courtney, but she is gone. To be more precise, she turned to dust” Liz said. “He always makes everything more important than me,” Maria said while still side stepping the main reasons she was avoiding Michael. “What about Rath?” Liz asked.

Maria bit her bottom lip, knowing Rath was a big part of why she was avoiding Michael. “What about him?” Maria asked carefully. Liz laughed, having already anticipated the avoidance of the real reason Maria didn’t want to be with Michael anymore. “What’s so funny?” Maria asked. Liz simply smiled. “You.” “Me?” Maria asked. “He visited me in my dream last night” Maria whispered suddenly.

Liz blinked, thinking for a moment that she had not heard Maria correctly. “He visited you in your dream last night…like dream walking? I thought that was Isabel’s power” Liz said, her mind reeling with all the possibilities. “He thanked me,” Maria said. “He thanked you for what?” Liz asked. Maria shrugged her shoulders not sure why he thanked her. “He told me when I get sick of Rozhell, to come and visit him in the city. He would explain then,” Maria said softly.

“If I was you, I’d want to know why” Liz said. Maria smiled, wanting more than just the answer to that question. Liz watched the expression on Maria’s face, and the way her green eyes seemed to sparkle, just from the mention of Rath’s name. She determined that whether Maria wanted to admit how she felt or not, she had a thing for a certain alien that lived in New York City.


Ava was unable to sit still any longer. Getting up out of the chair, she started pacing back and forth. “I knows it’s gonna take some time for ya not ta be mad at us” Zan said. “I realized somethin when I was in Roswell. I know ya never loved me Zan…not in da way dat matters. I just wants to get one thing straight…you and me…it’s over isn’t it?” Ava said in one breath.

Zan nodded his head; secretly relieved Ava didn’t want to fall back into what they had before. “Dis seems ta be da week for surprises,” Zan said. “What do ya mean?” Ava asked. “Well it seems dat ya bro meet someone in Rozhell, as he calls it. Just like I thinks ya meet someone,” Zan said. Ava couldn’t help but wonder who she was. After all he hadn’t really gone anywhere except the school and the meeting of their dupes. “Iz dat what’s ya meant about gettin’ da lay of da land?” Ava asked.

Rath remembered saying that to Liz after kissing her at the school. “No, I think she more Zan’s B’tch dan mine” Rath said. Zan looked over at Rath, wondering what he had missed. “I kissed Liz at da school. She thought I was Michael. She’d be perfect for ya” Rath said. “I told Liz da same thing” Ava mussed quietly.

Rath decided to tell her before the twenty questions started and she drove him nuts till he told her. “Ria” Rath said softly. Ava raised her right eyebrow that almost matched the way Rath did, not expecting to hear he liked Maria. She sat back down in the chair across from Rath and Zan. “I like their friend Kyle, he wasn’t at the meeting” Ava explained. “Why wasn’t he at da meeting?” Rath asked.

“Not cause he didn’t know, cause Liz said Max healed him too. I guess that was when an FBI agent was after Max. Ya know Liz, Maria, Kyle and Alex have been through a lot of shit cause of da others,” Ava said. “Back to what we needs ta do,” Zan said. “Is that why ya was lookin at da paper?” Ava asked.

Rath nodded his head yes, still liking the place Zan had found. “We decided ta get an apartment. Too many bad memories” Zan said. “Works for me” Ava said. Ava got up from the chair, walking into what used to be her and Zan’s bedroom, throwing her clothes into an old duffle bag. She walked back out into the main part of the crib a few minutes later. “Iz ready when ever da two of ya is” Ava said, causing Rath and Zan to start laughing at her eagerness.

Zan and Rath both got up off the couch. Zan picked up the newspaper with the apartment he thought would do best for them. “We is gonna go see dis apartment. It’s not far from da crib, maybe a block or two. We each would have our own bedroom and it has two bathrooms,” Zan said. Ava decided that she was going to have one of the bathrooms all to herself. “Da two of ya can share a bathroom and I get da other” Ava said leaving no room for argument.

Liz and Maria continued to talk about everything and anything. Maria decided that Liz was right; she needed to tell Michael she was not interested in him. She knew that was going to be the hard part. “I should get going” Maria said. “Ok” Liz said. Liz and Maria got up from her bed, walking out of her bedroom. Liz closed the door behind Maria, silently praying that Michael didn’t lose his temper when Maria told him she was not interested in him anymore.

Maria walked home slowly, opening her front door. She was thankful her mom was away on business, not wanting to explain why she was home so late. Especially when her mom would automatically assume she was home late because of Michael. She walked down the hall going into her bedroom. Flipping the switch she turned on her bedroom light, gasping in shock when she found Michael sitting in her bedroom.

“Thought you had stuff to do at home” Michael said, using an accusing tone of voice. Maria sighed, not really ready to have this conversation with Michael. But there was no time like the present. “I did” Maria said. “You weren’t here,” Michael said. “I never left the Crash Down” Maria explained. “Someone call in?” Michael asked. “No” Maria answered. She decided the best way to do this was to get it done and over with.

“Michael, I’m not interested in being anything more than your friend. Things haven’t been the same since you pushed me away. You suddenly decided that I am important to you, and that’s nice but I want more for my life than Roswell. I want to get out of this town and have no one to answer to but myself. You will always have to be where Max, Isabel and Tess are,” Maria said softly.

Michael couldn’t believe he was hearing this from Maria but was silently thankful that she was honest with him. “If that’s what you want, then I respect that and thank you for being honest with me,” Michael said. He walked past her, going out of her bedroom before Maria could even say another word. Maria sighed, not wanting to have hurt Michael but at the same time knowing it was the right thing to do. She pulled her t-shirt over her head throwing it onto the floor. Unbuttoning and unzipping her jeans, she stepped out of them, and fell into bed. She closed her green eyes, hoping that she would see Rath in her dreams again.

Maria walked through the doors of the Crash Down, holding onto the book she used for writing her song. She planned on putting the finishing touches on her song that she was working on for her performance tonight. Sliding into the booth she took out her pen and opened the notebook.

Liz walked over with two cups of coffee. setting one down near Maria. She slid into the seat across from Maria. “So, did you talk to Michael?” Liz asked Maria nodded her head, not keen on elaborating. Liz stared at her best friend, curiosity eating away at her as she sat across from Maria.

Maria smiled, knowing Liz wanted to know if Michael had blown a gasket. She decided to put her out of her misery. “He took it quite well,” Maria said. Liz’s brown eyes doubled in shock, not expecting Michael to have taken the news that well. “You mean he didn’t scream and yell when you told him about wanting . . . ” Maria cut Liz off.

“I didn’t tell him that part. After all there, is nothing to tell.” “Yet” she thought to herself. Liz laughed, thinking it was so typical for Maria to leave one of the important reasons out. She sipped her coffee, watching Maria work on what she assumed was a song for her first performance later that night.

Maria finished working on the lyrics, reading them through to commit them to memory for tonight. Closing her notebook and setting it aside, she picked up her coffee and took a sip. “You are coming tonight right?” Maria asked. “Of course” Liz answered, shocked that Maria had felt she needed to even ask. Maria smiled, happy that Liz would be there since Alex couldn’t be.

“I hope Alex is having fun in Sweden” Maria said. “Yeah, me too. I miss him,” Liz said. Maria finished drinking her coffee, deciding that she was going to go to the mall to get a new outfit for her performance. “I’ll see you tonight. I’m going to go to the mall,” Maria said. “Okay, I have to go change for work anyways” Liz said. Maria got up, and picking up her notebook and pen, she walked to the front doors of the Crash Down walking through them.



Rath, Zan and Ava walked into their new apartment on Lexington Avenue. Ava walked through the apartment, looking around her new home. After walking in the door, they were standing in a little hallway, which lead into the living room. The living room wasn’t too big and not too small. She figured it would fit a couch, maybe a couple of chairs, and an entertainment center. There was a small kitchen off of the living room, with an extended white counter top. “We could get bar stools and eat right here” Ava said, thinking out loud.

The kitchen also had a white gas stove and a side-by-side refrigerator and freezer. There was a small dining room off the kitchen and another hallway. Walking down the hallway Ava walked into the first door, deciding this was going to be her bedroom. She smiled thinking that it would fit a king-sized bed, a couple of end stands, and a dresser. Rath and Zan walked down the hall. Zan went into the next door on the right. “Dis is mine” Zan said. Rath looked around hoping his bedroom was about the same size.

Rath walked back out, going into the door on the left, which was one of the bathrooms. The bathroom was not too big or small, with a white toilet, a small white sink sitting in the middle of a small white counter top, with silver lines throughout the counter top. Over the sink was a small medicine cabinet and to the left, was a white porcelain tub. He walked back out of the bathroom, and walked down the hall and into the door at the end of the hall. Smirking Rath decided that he got the biggest bedroom. He noticed that the second bathroom was actually off his bedroom. Opening the door, he walked inside seeing it was just like the other bathroom only a little smaller in size.

They all walked back out of the rooms they had picked going into the living room. “We need furniture” Ava said Rath nodded his head in agreement. “I don’t want nothin’ from da old crib,” Rath said. Zan nodded his head, not wanting anything from their old crib either. “Larek told me how ta get in touch with our protector. That was what I did earlier. He is sending western union enough money ta start buyin’ da furniture. There is an old bar with a space, which is big enough for a small dance club three blocks up. Kal purchased the place for me, so I now own a bar. It will be our way of paying the bills” Zan explained. He took out a credit card handing the card to Ava. “I figured ya wouldn’t mind going shopping for our new crib.” “Hell no” Ava said.


Maria glanced in the mirror liking the way her blonde hair hung down around her face. The ends of her blonde hair stopping just above the red leather halter top which hugged her small body in all the right places. The red halter-top had strings that went up around her neck and down her back into gold rings. It then criss crossed her back three times, and tied at the bottom. Her mid section was bare, until the top of her light blue low-cut jeans. Her jeans had circles cut out along the sides, exposing the pale skin beneath. The final touch to her outfit was a pair of black leather ankle boots. She grabbed the keys to the Jetta off of her end stand, and walked out of her bedroom.

Liz and Kyle sat at a small table, waiting for Maria to sing. “Maria should be signing in a few minutes,” Liz said. Kyle looked at the stage, still unable to believe Maria was going to sing, and that his father’s band ‘The Shit Kickers’ was going to play the back ground music. “I still can’t believe my dad” Kyle said. He watched his dad setting up for their show. Maria walked in a few minutes later, walking over to Jim.

The lights dimmed as “The shit kickers’ started to play the music for the song Maria was going to sing. Maria stood on the stage holding the microphone in her small hands. She started singing and rocking her hips feeling the beat of the music.

Baby we can talk all night,
but that ain’t gonna get us nowhere.

I told you everything I possibly could,
but there’s nothing left inside of me.

And maybe you can cry all night,
but that’ll never change the way that I feel.

The snow is really piling up outside,
I wish you wouldn’t make me leave here.

I poured it on and I poured it out,
I tried to show you just how much I cared.

I’m tired of words and I’m too hoarse to shout,
and there is nothing left to say.
But you’ve been cold towards me for far to long,
that I’m crying icicles instead of tears.

And all I can do is keep on telling you,
I want you, I need you.
But -- there ain’t no way I’m ever gonna love you again.

Now don’t be sad
’cause two out of three ain’t bad,
now don’t be sad
’cause two out of three ain’t bad.

You’ll never find your gold on a sandy beach;
you’ll never drill for oil on a city street.
I know you’re looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks,
But there ain’t no coupe de vile hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box.

I can’t lie;
I can’t tell you that I’m something I’m not.

And no matter how I try,
I’ll never be able to give you something,
something that I just haven’t got.

There’s only one girl that I will ever love,
and that was so many years ago.
And though I know I’ll never get her out of my heart,
She never loved me back.

Ooh I know,
I remember how she left me on a stormy night,
She kissed me and got out of our bed.
And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door,
She packed her bags and turned right away.

And she kept on telling me,
She kept on telling me,
She kept on telling me,
I want you,
I need you,
But there ain’t no way I’m ever gonna love you again.

Now don’t be sad
’cause two out of three ain’t bad.
I want you,
I need you,
But there ain’t no way I’m ever gonna love you again.

Now don’t be sad
’cause two out of three ain’t bad.
Don’t be sad
’cause two out of three ain’t bad.
Baby we can talk all night
But that ain’t gonna get us nowhere.

The audience cheered as Maria ended her performance. Maria exited the stage, making her way over to the table that Liz and Kyle were sitting at. She sat down in the chair next to Liz. “Wow you were awesome” Liz said, the pride she felt evident in her voice. Maria smiled, pleased that two of her best friends had seen her sing.

A hand touched her shoulder. Maria glanced up seeing a woman standing there with short curly blonde hair. “Excuse me. I don’t mean to interrupt. My name is Dominique Lazar. I have a small record company in New York City, and I was wondering if you would like to come to New York to make a demo” Dominique said.

Maria blinked, sure she was hearing things. Either that or Tess was close by mind warping her. “This is my business card,” the woman said as she handed Maria a small white business card. Maria took the business card from Dominique, looking down at the small white card. She smiled when she saw the address. “New York City and Rath here I come,” she thought to herself. “Why don’t you come to my office? We can make a demo,” Dominique said. Maria thought about it for a moment before saying “When do we leave?”

The next day Maria looked through her clothes, trying to decide what to wear for the small interview, that Dominique had set up with her boss. She finally decided on a black lace tank top with spaghetti straps, and a black suede mini skirt. A white cracked leather waist jacket completed her look.

Maria took the three pieces of clothing to her bed, and set them down. Sitting down on the bed, Maria picked up her black leather ankle boots, which had three inch spiked chrome heels, and slipped her feet into them. She zipped up the side zipper, and tightened the leather strap that had flat silver studs across the boots. Standing up she stepped into the black suede mini skirt leaving the zipper slightly unzipped near the bottom. She slipped the black lace top over her head and put her arms into the white cracked leather waist jacket.

Walking into her bathroom, she picked up her hairbrush, running it through her silky hair. While brushing her hair, she decided to put her hair up in a bun, leaving a few stray pieces hanging down around her face. Setting down her hairbrush, she picked up a leather choker, snapping it around her neck. Walking back out of her bathroom, she walked over to her dresser. Picking up the keys to the Jetta, she walked out of the house.

Maria climbed into the Jetta, and putting the key in the ignition, she started the car. Putting the car into reverse, Maria backed out of her driveway, and then switching gears so the car was in drive, she drove the car down the street heading for the small studio in Roswell. Parking the car in the parking lot, Maria turned off the car, taking the keys out of the ignition. Opening the door, Maria climbed out of the Jetta. Closing the car door behind her, she walked into the studio.

Dominique smiled, seeing Maria walk into the studio. “I figure we could do a small demo here, so I can send it to my boss, then after I have a few questions to ask” Dominique said. Maria nodded her head, walking into the recording booth. Maria waited for Dominique to signal her to start. Dominique nodded her head, signaling for Maria to start singing.

“You’re like an angel with the sweetest smile, but when you use it, you’re an evil child. Oh, ahhh. That’s what brings me back again. We get along but only half the time. The other half you ain’t no friend of mine. Noooo, that’s what brings me back again. I love you on your best behavior. I love you more when you are doing something wrong. But that’s what’s wrong with me. You said you liked it yesterday, but now you’re telling me I can’t stay. It’s all your crazy messed up ways that bring me back. They bring me back. They bring me back. They bring me back again,” Maria sang. Maria opened the door, going back into the studio.

“So Maria do you drink?” Dominique asked. “No” Maria answered. “Drugs?” Dominique asked. “No way” Maria answered. The tone of her voice showed the dislike she had for drugs. “I mean, me, personally I couldn’t care less, but the boys upstairs, they make me ask these questions” Dominique explained. “Why?” Maria asked. “You know…millions of teenage girls and their allowances” Dominique answered vaguely.

Michael walked into the studio surprising Maria. “Michael” Maria said, her surprise at seeing him there evident in her voice. “Hey. Just wanted to stop by and see how things are going” Michael said. He held his hand out for Dominique saying “Hi, Michael.” Dominique shook hands with Michael. “Hi Dominique Lazar” Dominique said. Dominique looked at Maria, wondering if he was her boyfriend.

“Michael, he’s uh, just . . . ” Michael cut Maria off. “I’m a friend of the band.” Maria smiled at Michael, hoping she didn’t come off as rude. “We’re kinda in the middle of something here,” Maria said. Michael looked around the studio. “Nice space” Michael commented. Dominique looked up at Michael thinking that he needed to get out of Roswell more. “Yeah, it’s passable in a pinch. Oh Maria sweetie you need to tell me when you can travel” Dominique said.

Maria smiled, so ready to get out of Roswell. “Okay” Maria said. Dominique could tell Maria was ready to leave. “Where are you going?” Michael asked. “New York” Dominique answered. “City?” Michael asked. “Yeah. Well, if my people love what we did here, then we’ll record the demo over there” Dominique said. “How long will she be gone?” Michael asked. He didn’t like the idea of Maria being in New York City by herself.

Maria walked through the front doors of the Crash Down a short while later. She walked over to the counter, leaning over giving Liz a big hug. She handed Liz a piece of paper. “This is where I am going to be staying. Make sure you and Kyle come see me” Maria said. Liz nodded her head, feeling happy for Maria but also sad at the same time because Maria was leaving.

“We will” Liz said. “Promise?” Maria asked. “Promise” Liz confirmed. “I have to go out. Michael wanted to talk to me,” Maria said. Maria still couldn’t figure out what Michael wanted, and it was starting to bug her. Maria walked out back into the kitchen, where Michael was working.

Michael looked up from flipping burgers on the grill, smiling at Maria. “Thanks for coming by” Michael said. “I’m late, so make it quick.” Maria said. “I asked Philip to look at your contract” Michael said. “Excuse me?” Maria exclaimed, the outrage apparent in her voice. Michael decided to explain before Maria gets all hurricane Deluca on him. “I just wanted to make sure you were protected” Michael quickly explained to her. “I really appreciate the interest, but you don’t have to look after me. Our lives are no longer linked.” Maria said.

Maria stared at Michael for a few minutes, seeing the hurt look cross his face. She closed her eyes briefly, knowing that she had to be cruel to be kind in the long run…they had no future and Michael had to except that. “Wish me luck” Maria said. Michael waved the spatula at her, before turning back to the grill. Maria walked out of the Crash Down, and climbed into the limo Dominique had provided for her, to be driven to New York City.

Michael paced back and forth in his apartment, wondering if he was doing the right thing. “If Maria won’t let me go to New York with her to keep her safe, cause we have no ties anymore, then I will just have to call Rath, after all he lives in the city. He could watch Maria and she would never know I put him up to it.” Michael picked up his phone dialing Rath’s cell number. Rath’s cell rang three times before Rath answered.

“Yo” Rath said. “Rath, this is Michael” Michael said. Rath rolled his brown eyes; already knowing it was his dupe, though he was curious to why Michael was calling him. “Yeah, what ya want?” Rath snarled. Michael paused, still not sure if this was the right thing to do. “I need a favor. Maria’s coming to the city for a record deal, and I want you to keep an eye on her. You know, so like nothing bad happens to her” Michael said. Rath knew Maria was with Michael and he wondered why Michael wasn’t coming with her. “Why ain’t ya comin’ with Ria?” Rath asked.

“Maria and I are no longer together” Michael answered. Rath smiled, more than happy with that fact. “Your choice or hers?” Rath asked. He knew Maria had thought he was hot, and he hoped she had broken things off with Michael, cause she wanted to be with him. “That doesn’t matter” Michael said. Rath smirked, knowing Maria broke up with Michael. “She broke up with ya” Rath said.

Michael growled into the phone, quickly getting annoyed with Rath. He could literally see the smirk on Rath’s face, knowing Rath thought it was funny he had been dumped by a human. Rath hated talking on the cell, so he decided as much fun as it was to rag on Michael, he would let him off the hook. Besides, now he had to figure out how to turn this deal to his advantage. “I’ll do it. Got an addy?” Rath asked.

Michael looked down at the piece of paper in his hands. “It’s three hundred and ten Lexington Avenue, apartment B. She’s getting the apartment through the record people” Michael informed Rath. Rath wondered if Maria had given him the address. “Did Ria give ya da addy?” Rath asked. “She gave the address to Liz. I wrote it down when Liz wasn’t looking” Michael answered.

Michael paused for a moment, wondering if Rath knew where the apartment was. “Do you know where that is?” Michael asked in annoyance. “I know right where dat is,” Rath said. He smiled thinking “It’s right around the corner from my new crib.” “Good, then it won’t be hard for you to keep an eye on Maria without her knowing” Michael said. He wanted Rath to watch Maria, but to keep his distance.

Michael had his suspicions that Rath was interested in Maria. “Yep” Rath said. He had no intentions of keeping his distance. “I’ll call, make sure she’s ok” Michael said. “Okay, gotta jet” Rath said. Rath hung up his cell phone, staring it the phone in disbelief. He smiled, heading in the direction of Maria’s crib, having every intention of keeping a very close eye on her.

Maria smiled as the limo pulled up in front of what was to become her new home. She climbed out of the limo, picking up her small duffle bag, which she had packed with a few of her things. Looking around, Maria hoped to see a certain alien with a Mohawk. She pouted when she didn’t see him. Walking into the apartment building, she walked up the stairs and down the hall to the right. Coming to her room she used the key Dominique had given her, and opened the door.

Walking over to the queen-sized bed, Maria set her duffle bag down. The queen-sized bed had an elegant down comforter, with tassel-fringed, scalloped edges that combined the soft hues of celery, angel blue and a blushing nude, against a shimmering pearl background. On the queen-sized bed were four pillows, two had pillow covers that matched the comforter and the other two were a pale peril color, which Maria assumed matched the sheets.

Glancing around the room, Maria looked around the room, deciding it was an average sized room. There was one end stand on the right side of the queen-sized bed, which had a dresser and off to the left, a bathroom. She sat down on the bed, and bringing her right foot up, unzipped the side zipper on the black leather boot. Sliding her foot out, she set the boot down on the floor and brought her other leg up and repeated the process.

Maria opened her duffle bag, taking out her clothes. Setting the clothes down on the bed, she reached back inside the duffle bag, her small hand touching a silver vibrator which she took out. Maria opened the drawer on the end stand, putting the silver vibrator inside, blushing as she thought about the last time she used her toy, because she had moaned Rath’s name as she climaxed. Getting up from the bed, she picked up her clothes and the duffle bag, and walked over to the dresser. She put away her clothes, before walking into the bathroom with the duffle bag.

Maria looked around the bathroom, seeing a white toilet near the door. On the wall across from the toilet was a white porcelain sink, surrounded by a white counter top. The white porcelain tub was on the left side of the counter top, and hooked into white shower curtain hooks, was a navy blue cloth shower curtain with white half moons, small stars and suns with shooting rays which folded back to reveal a clear vinyl shower curtain behind.

Maria also noticed that there were matching rugs in front of the tub and toilet, as well as matching towels, hand towels, and face clothes. She went over to the counter top setting her duffle bag down. Taking out a bottle of lavender body wash, a bottle of vanilla shampoo, and a purple scrubby, she set them on the edge of the white porcelain tub. Reaching back inside the duffle bag, she took out her hairbrush, a purple toothbrush and a tube of Crest toothpaste, and set them down the white counter top. She set her toothbrush inside of the toothbrush holder, that was silver with a blue half moon and a couple of small blue stars, then set down her hair brush and toothpaste. Maria decided to take a shower, hoping that maybe Rath would find her and be in her room by the time she was done.

Rath walked into Maria’s apartment complex, going up the stairs and down the hall to his right. He knew Maria was here…he had been drawn to the apartment, his desire almost over whelming. Reaching her apartment door, he placed his hand on the doorknob, using his powers. He heard the lock click when it unlocked. He turned the handle, stepping into the small apartment. The small room was lit only by the moonlight that was coming in through the window.

Glancing around Rath noticed that Maria was not in the bedroom. He heard the shower running, and felt his cock harden from the though of her standing naked in the shower. He pictured the water running down her pale skin, turning it pink and snarled, need pumping through his body. He locked the door again and walked over to the window, where he stood in the shadows, knowing he would have a perfect view of Maria.

Maria turned off the shower, and pulled open the shower curtain. Reaching out she grabbed a towel off the towel rack. She dried her hair with the towel, and then her soft body. Walking over to the counter, Maria picked up her hairbrush and ran it through her hair. Setting her hairbrush back down on the counter top, she walked back into the bedroom.

Rath watched her walk back into the bedroom with hungry eyes. Maria walked over to the bed, unsure why she felt like she was being watched. Maria shook her head; sure it was the knowledge of being alone in a big city that getting to her. She pulled back the comforter and sheets. Rath licked his lips, his tongue snaking out to play with the silver hoop pierced through his bottom lip.

Maria moved her small hands to the towel, unwrapping the towel from around her soft body. She let the towel fall to the floor at her feet, her pale skin gleaming in the moonlight. Rath felt his already hardened cock become even harder as he took in her naked back, and the way she arched as she yawned, her slim arms stretching above her head, and pulling her body taunt.

Maria turned around and walked over to the door checking to make sure the door was still locked. Rath bit his bottom lip to stop a growl from coming out of his mouth. She walked back over to the bed, and opening the drawer on the end stand, took out her silver vibrator. Rath saw what Maria took out of the top drawer and smirked. Maria lay down on the bed, placing her head on the pillows and spreading her legs. Rath moved his hand down to his jeans, unbuttoning and unzipping them to relieve some of the pressure from his throbbing cock. He heard the hum of the vibrator as Maria turned it on.

Maria slowly moved the tip of the vibrator back and forth over her outer lips. She moaned in pleasure, imagining that it was Rath touching her instead of the vibrator. She slowly spread her outer lips, exposing her wet opening. Rath licked his lips, wanting to taste her, his hardened cock jumping in response to each and every one of her moans. Maria moaned in pleasure, thrusting the vibrator inside her wet heated core. She circled her bundle of nerves with her thumb and forefinger. “Rath . . . ” Maria moaned as her hips moved uncontrollably, her walls clamping down on the vibrator.

Having heard his name slip from between her big pouty lips, he stepped out of the shadows, walking over to her. Rath took her hand away from the vibrator, trapping it in her fluttering body with his own hand. Maria’s green eyes flew open, and she stared into Rath’s brown eyes, seeing pure hunger in his brown orbs. She thought she should feel embarrassed, having been caught. But if any thing, it made her want him even more.

Rath turned up the speed on the vibrator, as he leaned down running his wet tongue around her bottom lip as he moved the vibrator around in circles. “How many times have ya gotten off thinkin’ about me?” Rath asked. Maria brought her small hands into his mohawk, wanting him to kiss her and stop teasing her. Rath raised his right eyebrow, still wanting her to answer his question. “Since you came into my dream” Maria answered.

Unable to wait any longer, Rath thrust his tongue deep inside her mouth. Maria moaned into Rath’s hot mouth as he deepened the kiss. Rath slowly removed the vibrator from deep inside her wet core. Maria moaned in frustration when Rath broke the kiss for some much needed air. He inhaled deeply, enjoying the smell of her arousal. “Ya smells so nice, ya making me harder by da second” Rath growled.

Maria moved her small hands out of Rath’s mohawk, and down over his hard chest. She wanted to touch his skin, and feel it against her palms. She moved her small hands underneath his black T-shirt, touching his hard chest. Rath brought his mouth down to her rapidly beating pulse, running his wet tongue back and forth over her rapidly beating pulse. Maria moaned in pleasure, her small hands reaching his nipples. Her green eyes widened in surprise when she felt his nipples harden underneath her fingertips.

Rath took her rapidly beating pulse into his mouth sucking hungrily. Maria moaned in pleasure, spreading her legs wider wanting and needing something more. “Please . . . ” Maria whispered desperately. He released her rapidly beating pulse, to look into her green eyes sparkling with desire, lust and need. “What ya wants B’tch?” Rath asked his voice thick and husky from his own desire.

She blinked in shock. “He expects me to answer him,” she thought. Rath pulled back, forcing Maria to remove her small hands from under his T-shirt. “I want to touch you” Maria whispered. Rath smirked, pulling his T-shirt over his head and threw it onto the floor. “Dat better? Ya wants me ta touch ya?” Rath asked. Maria nodded her head, not trusting her voice at the present moment.

Rath ran his large hands down her soft body, until he reached her breast, which were firm and round, and fit perfectly in the palms of his large hands. “Tight” Rath hissed. He felt her nipples harden under the palms of his hand as he massaged her breasts. “Rath . . . ” Maria moaned in pleasure. He slowly moved his right hand away from her breast only to circle her hardened nipple with his fingers, then taking the hardened nub between his thumb and forefinger rolled it. With each touch Maria felt more wetness between her legs. She wanted and needed more. “Please . . . ”Maria begged.

Rath decided he had to taste her. Since he had been dreaming about doing that since the day he had seen her in Roshell. He removed his large hands from her breasts kissing and nipping his way down over her flat stomach. Running the tip of his wet tongue around her belly button before continuing to kiss and nip down over her flat abdomen till he reached her mound of blonde curls. Maria’s soft body quivered underneath Rath’s hot mouth in anticipation. Rath felt his throbbing hardened cock become even harder. He was painfully hard but could wait, wanting to give her pleasure first.

Rath ran the tip along the skin right above her mound of blonde curls before moving down further. Maria felt Rath’s warm breath against her wet heated core and involuntarily spread her legs wider giving him better access to her heated core. Rath ran the tip of his hot wet tongue back and forth over her outer lips. “Sweet and spicy” Rath growled. He thrust his tongue inside her wet heated core, moving his hot, wet tongue slowly around her inner wall. Maria moved her small hands into his Mohawk holding his mouth against her heated core.

Rath growled against her core, hearing his cell phone ringing. He knew who was on his cell, and he had no intentions of stopping what he was doing, just so Michael could check up on her. His nose ring rubbed her bundle of nerves as he thrust his tongue harder and faster inside her wet heated core. “That feels so goooddd . . . Rath . . . ” Maria screamed. She removed her hands from his Mohawk and gripped the sheets, as she moved her hips uncontrollably, her walls clamping down on his hot wet tongue. Rath greedily drank down her juices making certain not to miss a single drop. He slowly removed his hot wet tongue from inside her fluttering wet heated core. He ran his tongue back and forth over her outer lips licking up her juices that had seeped through.

“Epic” Rath said. Rath climbed off the bed, making Maria protest until she saw he was removing his jeans. Her green eyes doubled in size when she saw how large his hardened cock was. Rath climbed back onto the bed his hardened cock rubbing against her wet heated core. He captured her lips in a fierce and demanding kiss. Their tongues battling, Maria tasted herself on his tongue, which seemed to make her even more turned on than she already was.

Rath broke the kiss, staring into her green eyes, which sparkled, with desire, lust and need. He took his hardened cock in one of his large hands slowly thrusting his hardened cock deep inside her wet heated core. Maria dug her nails into his back feeling his large hardened cock stretching her. “B’tch” he growled, when he felt her barrier. He had not expected her to be a virgin. “Don’t stop. I want it to be you,” she whimpered.

She wrapped her legs tightly around his waist, hoping to prevent him from pulling out. Rath gritted his teeth as he thrust his hardened cock completely inside her wet heated core, breaking through the barrier of her innocents. Maria dug her nails harder into his back, drawing blood. Rath brought his large hand to her face, wiping away a stray tear that had escape her tear filled green eyes. He stilled his movements, giving her time to adjust to his hardened cock being buried deep inside her wet heated core. Leaning down he captured her hot wet mouth in a gentle kiss, breaking the kiss when air became an issue.

Maria thrust her hips wanting to feel his hardened cock moving inside of her. Rath pulled his hardened cock back almost all the way out, before thrusting his hardened cock back inside her wet heated core. “Ya so tight” Rath moaned, his pleasure showing in his thick and husky voice. Maria matched each one of Rath’s thrusts. “Ohhhh . . . ” Maria moaned. Rath thrust his hardened cock harder and faster with each thrust inside her wet heated core. “I ain’t ever gonna get enough of ya” Rath growled.

“Good” Maria moaned. She didn’t think she would ever be able to get enough of him either. Rath’s hardened cock hit her g-spot as he thrust harder and faster inside her wet heated core. Sensing she was close and wanting to push her over the edge he brought his large hand between their joined bodies, finding her bundle of nerves and circling her it with his thumb. “Cum for me” Rath commanded, knowing he wouldn’t last much longer she was so tight and wet. “Rath . . . ” Maria screamed. Her walls clamped down on his thrusting hardened cock, milking him for all, he was worth.

“Fuck” Rath growled, feeling her walls grip his hardened cock like a vice. He thrust his hardened cock harder and faster inside her fluttering wet heated core feeling his balls tightening signaling his own release. “Ria . . . ” Rath groaned suddenly. He thrust his hardened cock as deep as he possible could filling her fluttering wet heated core with his hot seed. He continued to thrust his semi erect cock inside her fluttering wet heated core prolonging her orgasm until he had to pull out of her fluttering wet heated core.

Rath rolled onto his back bringing her soft body into his strong arms. Maria placed her head of blonde hair on his hard chest listening to his heart beating. “I was hoping you would be here when I got out of the shower, ” Maria mumbled. Rath smirked, running his large hand up and down her back as brought the covers up with his powers. He leaned down kissing her forehead. “Mine.” Rath thought. He watched her green eyes flutter shut when she was no longer able to keep them open.

Rath’s cell phone rang again. He growled in annoyance, then smirked reaching down grabbing his cell phone out of his jeans. Maria moaned in protest when Rath moved snuggling into his hard body more. Rath opened his cell phone. “Yo” Rath growled. “I called earlier. You didn’t answer, ”Michael said, the annoyance apparent in his voice. “I was busy” Rath growled. “I wanted to make sure Maria was okay,” Michael said.

Rath ran his large hand down Maria’s back making her moan in pleasure. “Last I saw her, she was all tucked into her bed for da night” Rath said, the smirk evident in his voice. “You’re not alone,” Michael said, blushing when he heard another moan. “I said I was busy. Now I am going back to sleep” Rath said. He hung up his cell phone turning it off so if Michael called back he would hear I’m sorry but that person is either unavailable or out of the area please try again later. Setting the cell phone down on her end stand he placed his head on the pillow wrapping his strong arms tighter around her soft body holding her close as he closed his brown eyes falling into a deep sleep.

Michel stared at his cell phone in embarrassment, before slowly putting it down on the end stand by his bed. He felt his cheeks flame again when he remembered Rath said he was with someone. The thought crossed his mind though, how Rath could be watching Maria if he was busy with some girl.

“He said she was tucked into her bed, so he must have picked up afterwards” Michael thought. He decided to call Rath earlier tomorrow, so hopefully the same thing wouldn’t happen again. Michael rolled onto his side and closed his brown eyes, falling into a deep sleep a short while later.

Ava paced back and forth over the soft carpet of the living room, still worried about Rath. Zan shook his head. Ava was driving him nuts. He had tried to tell her Rath was probably off somewhere, doing his own thing but she wouldn’t listen. “Ava…please…sit down. Ya drivin’ me bloody nuts here!” Zan exclaimed. Ava turned around her blue eyes showing her anger and fear.

Zan sighed running his hands through his hair. “I called his cell and it’s off. What if Nicholas has him?” Ava asked. "Nicholas is more interested in the Granolith than us" Zan said. Ava sighed, walking over to the blue rocker and sitting down, staring out into the walkway. “This is going to be a long night.” Zan thought. He settled down on the couch and closed his eyes.

Zan started thinking about Liz Parker, and what Rath and Ava had said about her. He reached out with his mind on the dream plain, searching until he found her dream and stepped inside. Zan stood in the shadows, not wanting to reveal him self to her this time. Liz was sitting on her twin-sized bed wearing a red lace cami and pantie set, which seemed to accent the curves of her soft body. Zan’s palms itch to touch her olive skin wondering if it would feel as soft as it looked.

Liz stretched her arms over her head, the soft glow from her lamp causing her skin to glow. Zan sucked his bottom lip between his teeth, suddenly a wear of the familiar ache in his groin. He decided to become part of the dream, but as he went go over to her, he was suddenly woken up. “Don’t ya care?” Ava asked. “Ya know I was dream walkin’ dat Liz. It was about ta get interesting” Zan grumbled. Ava shook her head in disbelief, muttering about horny aliens and their perverted ways.

Maria slowly opened her green eyes, finding she was still tightly wrapped in Rath’s arms. When she tried to move, his arms tightened around her small body. Lifting her head, she looked over her shoulder at him. Her green eyes took into memory the way he looked, with his nose and bottom lip both pierced with a silver hoop and the way he only had facial hair on the side of his cheekbones and just underneath his chin. Rath opened his brown eyes, staring into Maria’s green eyes.

“Morning” Maria whispered. “Mornin” Rath mumbled. He lifted his head off the pillow, bringing his mouth to hers, and capturing her lips soundly in a passionate kiss. He broke away only when air became an issue. Maria pouted, not wanting to have to get up out of the bed. She wanted to spend the day right where she was. Rath brought his hand to her bottom lip, running his finger along the satiny surface. “What’s da matter Ria?” Rath asked. “I don’t want to get up, but I have to go and meet Dominique soon” Maria answered. “I have ta go back ta my crib, but I’ll be here later” Rath said.

Rath reluctantly unwrapped his arms from Maria’s soft body. Maria rolled onto her back, and pushing the covers back, climbed out of the bed. She walked over to the closet, taking out a terry cloth bathrobe and wrapping it around her soft body. “Want to join me in the shower?” Maria asked. Rath climbed out of the bed, walking over to Maria in all his naked glory. “Ria, if I join ya in da shower, ya gonna be late…or not able o go at all” Rath said, his disappointment showing in his voice and the way his brown eyes were looking at her.

Maria shivered under his intense gaze, knowing he was right. Rath captured her mouth in a kiss that was quick but intense. Maria licked her lips, watching him walk back over to the bed, her green eyes taking in his firm naked ass. Rath smirked, feeling her heated gaze on his body. Reaching down, he picked up his jeans and stepped into them. He buttoned and zipped his jeans up, before sitting down on the bed. He slipped his feet into his black work boots, and picked up his black T-shirt pulling it over his head. Standing up, Rath picked up his cell phone slipping it into his back pocket.

“Did someone call you last night?” Maria asked, vaguely remembering hearing a phone ring. “No one important, I just didn’t want it to wake ya up” Rath answered. Rath walked over to her, wrapping his arms around her waist, and bringing her soft body closer to his. “I’ll turn it off tonight. No interruptions…ya all mine” Rath said, bending his head to give her another passionate kiss.

When he pulled back, he stared into her green eyes for a moment, before unwrapping his arms from around her waist, and quickly walking to the door. He knew he had to get out of there before he changed his mind, doing now what he wanted instead of later. Maria heard the lock click as Rath left. She smiled, walking over to the window and looking out, hoping to see what direction Rath went. Maria pouted when she saw that there was no way she was going to be able to see him. There were too many people outside. She moved away from the window, walking across the room and into the bathroom.

Rath walked down the street and around the corner, going into his apartment complex. Ava looked up from the blue rocker recliner, and seeing Rath, she jumped out of the chair. “Where have ya been?” Ava asked, the concern evident in her voice. Rath ran his hands through his Mohawk, already knowing Ava was probably freaking because he hadn’t come home last night. Zan got up off the black leather couch, looking at Ava in barely veiled amusement.

“Since he is back, I’m gonna go ta bed” Zan said. Zan walked out of the living room, wanting to hear where Rath had been and all but at the same time being tired cause Ava had kept him up all night worrying about Nicolas getting him. “Sorry. I was with Ria” Rath said. Ava smiled. “Are Liz and Kyle here too?” Ava asked hopefully. Rath shook his head, smiling as Ava pouted. He knew Ava wanted to see Kyle and Liz. “I’m sure they will come visit her,” Rath said.

Maria walked into the recording studio, finding Dominique putting on her make up. “Morning Maria” Dominique said. “Morning” Maria said. “So Adam Chase is on his way. He’s a legendary producer, and honey, and if he likes your stuff you can clear off your mantel and hire a maid to dust your Grammies” Dominique said. Maria nodded her head, agreeing with Dominique while hoping that this guy she was talking about liked her music. The door to the recording studio opened and Adam walked in.

“JC” Dominique said. “Dominique what’s happening baby?” Adam asked. “Well clearly you look all hottie tottie,” Dominique said. “Like wise” Adam said while visible checking Dominique out. Maria tried not to gag as they flirted with each other. Dominique turned toward Maria, introducing her to Adam. “This is our find, Adam Chase, Maria Deluca” Dominique said.

“Nice to meet you” Maria said. She felt like Adam was checking her out as well from the way he was looking at her, and she didn’t like it. “Nice to meet you” Adam said. He held up her demo tape. “It’s a single.” “I knew it” Dominique exclaimed. “It’s called ‘behavior.’ I wrote it for someone I’m interested in” Maria explained. Adam acted like he really didn’t care. “Right. I have been messing with it…want to hear?” Adam asked. Maria smiled, interested in what he had done to her song. “Yes, I would love to listen” Maria said.

Adam put the tape on, Maria wanting to cry when she heard what they did to her song. “Slammin’ isn’t it?” Adam said. “That’s me?” Maria asked, the dislike for the changes showing in her voice. “Yeah, I remixed the vocals, and added a few song mixes underneath. Ya know it’s a little rough around the edges, but you get the point,” Adam said. “It’s a number one isn’t it?” Dominique asked. “You know it” Adam answered. Dominique squealed, happy that she had found a winner in Maria. “It used to be a love song,” Maria says. “Now people can dance to it,” Dominique said. Maria frowned, still not liking the changes to her song.

Adam left the room, leaving Maria and Dominique alone. “So you hate it,” Dominique said. Maria shook her head, trying to figure out how to word what she wanted to say. “No, I was just going for a PJ Harvey and that sounds more like a Britney Spears” Maria explained. “I...I completely disagree” Dominique said. Maria sighed. “My music is personal to me, Dominique” Maria said.

“Okay Maria, but it’s my job to find artists that can sell records right?” Dominique asked. Maria nodded her head. Dominique sighed, knowing that Maria was disappointed in the changes they had made. “You have to decide if this is really what you want,” Dominique said finally. Maria nodded her head, agreeing with Dominique.

“So you take the rest of today and decide if you can sing the song the way Adam wants,” Dominique says. “I will. See you tomorrow” Maria said, before walking out the door. Maria walked down the street, so wrapped up in her own thoughts she failed to notice Rath was following her down the street. Rath had seen her leave the studio and saw the look of disappointment on her face, which made him wonder what had happened to make her look so down.

Maria walked back into her apartment, and walking over to the bed, she took out her cell phone. Liz answered the phone after two rings. "Hello?" Liz said. "Hi" Maria said dejectedly. "Maria, how are you?" Liz asked. "Good and bad" Maria answered. "Tell me what's going on" Liz coaxed. Maria smiled hearing Liz’s love and concern. "I went to meet with Dominique and her boss, Adam Chase. They changed my song around, and I hate it. It was supposed to be a love song, and now it's some hip hop junk,” Maria babbled. "What are you going to do?" Liz asked. "Dominique told me to take the rest of the day and decide if I could do the song the way they want. But I don't think I can. It's just not me,” Maria wailed.

While Maria was talking on the phone with Liz, Rath walked into Maria's apartment carrying two cups and a paper bag. He walked over to Maria, and set the cups and the bag down on the end stand, before sitting down on the bed beside her. Maria leaned back into Rath's body, trying to concentrate on her conversation with Liz, who sensed that Maria was listening but not listening. "What ever you decide, do it for you" Liz said. "I will" Maria said. "Call me back and let me know what's going on,” Liz said. "I will," Maria promised. "Okay, bye" Liz said. "Bye" Maria said and hung up the phone.

Rath took her cell phone, setting it down on her end stand. Maria turned her head, bringing her lips to Rath's. Rath kissed her gently, his hand cradling her face. "I saw ya earlier…ya didn't look happy,” Rath said. Maria smiled, hearing the concern in his voice. "I'm much better now,” Maria said. Rath smirked. "I brought ya a cafe mocha and one of those chocolate brownie thingy’s" Rath said.

“Ava swears chocolate fixes everythin,” he mumbled at her questioning glance. Maria smiled softly. “Ava’s a smart girl,” she confirmed, giving him a quick kiss as thanks. Rath picked up one of the cups, handing it to Maria, followed by one of the rich brownies. "How about we eat, den I'll give ya a tour of da city?" Rath suggested. Maria smiled, liking the idea of spending the rest of the day and night with Rath.

Maria leaned back into Rath, silent as they rode the elevator to the top of the empire state building. Rath wrapped his arms around Maria’s waist, holding her tightly against his body. “Have you ever been here?” Maria asked. “No” Rath answered. The elevator stopped at the top and the doors slid open. Rath reluctantly unwrapped his arms from around her waist, ushering her out of the elevator. Maria took Rath’s hand, following the other people out of the elevator.

They looked out over the fencing, gazing down at the busy city. Maria couldn’t believe how small the city looked, from where they were standing so far up. She walked over to one of the view machines, seeing that it took quarters. Rath placed his large hand on top of the machine, making it appear that he was inserting quarters into the machine, while using his powers to make it work.

Maria smiled, leaning down so she could look through. She moved the view machine around so she could see the city from different angles. Moving back away from the machine, Rath took his hand away. They walked hand in hand back to the elevator, riding the elevator back down. Exiting the elevator, they walked back outside onto the crowded street.

“Hungry?” Rath Asked. Maria nodded her head. She was hungry, but wanting to get something they could take back to her place, because she was hungry for more than food. “How about pizza?” Maria asked. Rath smiled, knowing the perfect place to get pizza. “I know where they has da best pizza,” Rath said.

They walked down the street a couple of blocks, and then crossed the street going over to a pizza shop. Rath opened the door, holding it open for Maria. She walked through, waiting for Rath before walking over to the counter. “Pepperoni okay?” Rath asked. “Yeah” Maria answered.

“Rath ya pizza’s up” the boy said ten minutes later. Maria slide out of the booth, waiting for Rath. Rath slid out of the booth, and taking Maria’s hand into his, they grabbed the pizza and left. Reaching Maria’s apartment, Rath let go of her hand, placing his hand on her door handle. Hearing the lock click, he opened the door and they walked inside.

Maria flipped the switch turning on the lights. Rath walked over to the end stand setting the pizza box down, and then sitting down on the bed. Maria walked over to the closet, opening it to put her clothes away. She slipped her arms out of the cracked white leather waist jacket, and placing it on a hanger, put it in the wardrobe.

Rath licked his lips liking the way the black lace top hugged her body in all the right places. He smirked watching her walk toward him as he noticed her nipples were already hardened peaks, pressing against the material. Maria sat down next to Rath suddenly not feeling hungry for pizza anymore.

Rath reached over, opening the pizza box. He took out two slices of pepperoni pizza, handing one to Maria. They sat there in silence, eating the slices of pizza. Rath reached over, and grabbing one of the empty cups from earlier, used his powers to clean the cup, before filling it with Pepsi. “Having powers comes in handy” Maria laughed.

“They do, for lot’s of things,” Rath said, a smirk crossing his face. Rath finished his slice of pizza, reaching into the box taking out another slice as Maria finished her slice, and drank the Pepsi. “Want another?” Rath asked. “No” Maria murmered. Rath quickly finished his slice of pizza, wanting to have Maria for desert. Maria handed Rath the cup and he finished drinking the Pepsi, while kicking off his shoes. Maria brought her legs up, unzipping the side zipper on her boots and sliding the boots off her feet.

Rath set the cup down on the end stand, swiftly turning back to Maria. He captured her mouth in a demanding kiss, leaving Maria helpless in his arms. Maria moaned into Rath’s mouth, feeling his calloused hands at the hem of her black lace tank top. He broke the kiss, Maria lifting her arms so Rath could take off her tank top. Pulling the tank top off in one swift movement, he threw it onto the floor. Maria moved her hands to the hem of Rath’s black T-shirt, pulling it over his head after he lifted his arms and throwing it onto the floor.

He took her hands into his; pulling her into a standing position as he used his powers to make the sheets and blankets move back. Releasing her hands, he slowly unbuttoned and unzipped her jeans. He slowly moved her jeans down over her hips, revealing her red thongs beneath. Deciding to leave the thongs on for a while, he pulled her jeans down the rest of the way. Maria stepped out of her jeans, moving her hands to the button of his jeans, trying to undo them. She pouted when Rath took her hands away from the zipper, Maria wanting him to be as naked as she was.

Rath smirked, capturing Maria’s mouth in another demanding kiss. He moved her back onto the bed as their tongues battled. Maria moaned into his hot mouth, feeling wetness pool between her legs. Rath broke the kiss, licking his lips, as he smelled her desire. He ran the tip of his tongue down her neck to her rapidly beating pulse, sucking strongly on her tender skin. Maria moaned in pleasure, bringing her hands into his Mohawk, gently massaging his scalp.

Rath slowly released her skin, running the tip of his tongue down to her collarbone. He bit down on her tender skin, sucking hungrily, wanting to mark her as his. He released her skin, admiring the hicky that stood out against her pale skin, then continued to kiss and nip his way down her body to her hardened nipples. “Rath...” Maria moaned. Rath ran his tongue in circles around her right hardened nipple then between the valley of her breast to her left hardened nipple.

His lips closed over her hardened nipple, sucking hungrily. He brought his hand to her right breast, taking her nipple between his thumb and forefinger, and rolling her hardened nipple. Maria moaned in pleasure, spreading her legs wider, wanting and needing his attention at her heated core. “Please…” Maria begged, her voice husky from her desire and need.

Rath scraped his teeth over the hardened peak, blowing air against her heated flesh as he removed his mouth. “Please...” Maria whispered. He smiled, thinking to him self “I’m going to have so much fun teasin’ ya. But not tonight.” Kissing and nipping his way down her soft body, he reached her red lace thong. Maria’s trembled beneath his body, her desire and need increasing yet again.

Unable to wait any longer, Rath brought his mouth to her wet core. He ran his tongue back and forth over her outer lips, licking up her juices that had seeped through. “Ya so wet…and ya smell so good,” Rath growled. Maria moaned in pleasure, feeling his tongue against her core. Rath thrust his tongue deep inside her core, and then slowly pulled his tongue back to run around her inner walls.

Maria thrust her hips up to his face, wanting and needing more. He thrust his tongue back inside her heated core, thrusting his tongue hard and fast. “Yesss...” Maria moaned. Maria’s hips moved uncontrollably as her walls clamped down on his tongue. Rath groaned, lapping at her dripping core, careful not to miss any of the sweetness he might have left behind.

Maria gasped as Rath ripped her thong off her. “I liked those” Maria gasped. Rath slipped the thong into the back pocket of his jeans, before using his powers to melt them away. Maria soon forgot all about the thong, feeling his hardened cock pressing into her heated core. Rath took his cock into his hand, slowly thrusting his hardened cock deep inside her core. Maria wrapped her legs tightly around his waist, thrusting her hips, wanting and needing more.

Rath pulled back, then swiftly thrusted back inside her wet core. Maria matched each and every one of Rath’s thrusts, feeling her climax building in the pit of her stomach. “Feels so goooddd...”Maria moaned. “Ya so fuckin tight” Rath hissed. He thrust harder and faster, the large mushroom head hitting her g-spot. “Rath...”Maria screamed, running her nails down his back hard.

Her walls clamped down on his cock, milking him for all he was worth. “Fuck...”Rath groaned softly. He thrust harder and faster, feeling his balls tightening around his hardened cock like a vice. “Ria...” Rath hissed. He thrust his hardened cock as deep as he possible could, filling her fluttering wet heated core with his hot seed. He continued to thrust until he had to pull out, collapsing onto his back.

Maria moved her head to his chest, listening to his heart beating as she snuggled into his body. Rath brought the sheets and comforter up over their tired and sweaty bodies, covering them over. He ran his hand up and down her back, smiling at each and every little moan of pleasure that came out of her mouth. His brown eyes closed, when he could no longer keep them open, following Maria into a deep sleep.

Liz looked around her dream, wondering why there was a bed with handcuffs on the headboard in the middle of a field of wild flowers. “All this alien mumbo jumbo is now making my dreams weird” Liz mumbled. Zan smirked, hearing Liz blaming the change of her dream on the others, when he was the one who put the bed there. He silently called her to the bed, using his powers to make the clothes disappear from her soft body, in away that looked like she dreamed about being naked.

Liz walked over to the bed, lying down on the soft mattress and placing her head on the pillows. Zan licked his lips. “Damn she’s tight,” he thought. His brown eyes ran over her soft olive skin, seeing that her breasts were round and firm, and judging from their size, he figured they would fit perfectly into his hands. As he continued to admire her soft body, he noticed her stomach and abdomen were nice and flat. His heated gaze finally reached her mound of brown curls, smirking as Liz involuntarily parted her thighs under his heated gaze.

Liz moaned, feeling like her body was being touched, which was weird because there was no one there. Zan moved closer to the bed, deciding that looking was not enough. “Ain’t likes I one ta move slow” Zan thought. He kneeled down, so all Liz could see when she looked down was the top of his dark head. Liz moaned in pleasure, feeling hot breath against her heated core.

Zan ran his tongue back and forth over her outer lips. He smiled, sensing she had never been with anyone else. It was like he could smell her cherry, which he knew he was going to take from her. All he had to do was have Rath talk to Maria about having Liz come to the city, and then she was going to be his. Shaking his head he cleared his mind, wanting to concentrate on her. He thrust his tongue deep inside her tight core.

Liz moaned in pleasure, bunching the sheets in her hands, both in her dream and in reality. Zan slowly moved his tongue around her inner walls, savoring her taste. “Sweet and spicy.” He slowly moved his tongue inside her wet heated core, wanting to drink down her juices as they filled his mouth. He smirked, knowing she would cum both in her dream and in her bed.

“Yesss...”Liz moaned. Zan nibbled lightly on her clit, before sliding his tongue into her sweet body as far as he could. Liz cried out as she arched her back and moved her hips uncontrollably. Zan groaned, her juices filling his mouth as she came. He savored her taste, licking her clean as she trembled. Liz mumbled, falling into a deep sleep in her dream as well as in reality. Zan smirked thinking “Soon” before fading from her dream.

Rath opened his eyes, smirking down at Maria as he rolled her onto her back. He smirked at her mumbled protest, at being moved away from his warm body. He licked his lips, moving the sheets and comforter away from her body, baring her to his gaze. He ran his tongue over the silver hoop pierced through his bottom lip, as he moved his hand down her body.

Rath moved his hands to her thighs, slowly spreading her legs to expose her core to him. Maria moaned in pleasure as she slowly woke up, feeling Rath’s hot breath against her core. He ran his tongue back and forth over her outer lips, licking up her juices. Bringing his large hand to her bundle of nerves, he slowly circled it as he thrust his tongue deep inside her heated core. He tasted her slowly, his movements teasing.

Maria moaned in pleasure, her green eyes opening as Rath thrust his tongue harder and faster inside her heated core. “Rath...” Maria moaned. Rath pinched her bundle of nerves, thrusting his tongue as deep as he possible could. Maria moaned in pleasure, her walls clamping down on his tongue. He slowly pulled his tongue back out of her fluttering core, moving up her soft body capturing her mouth in demanding kiss.

Their tongues battle until they had to separate for much needed air. “Morning… what away to wake up… next time I’ll wake you up that way” Maria said, her voice full of promise. Rath’s hardened cock jumped in response, imagining her full lips wrapped around his hardened cock. “Mornin” Rath said, his voice thick and husky from desire and need. “How about we go and finish in da shower?” Rath asked.

He climbed off the bed, and not waiting for her answer, leant down and scooped her into his strong arms. Maria wrapped her arms around his neck, holding on tightly. Rath walked away from the bed going into the bathroom. He used his powers to turn the hot and cold water facets on and adjusted the water to just the right temperature. Pulling up the shower level he stepped into the tub and pulled the shower curtain closed.

Maria moaned in protest as Rath moved her body, not wanting him to put her down. “Wrap ya legs around my waist” Rath commanded. Maria moaned in pleasure, feeling his hardened cock brushing against her outer lips. Rath slowly guided his hardened cock into her core, both moaning in satisfaction at being one again. Maria brought her mouth to Rath’s, the kiss deep straight away.

Rath’s hardened cock thrust in and out of her wet core, seeming to match the pace their tongues were battling. Maria broke the kiss, gripping Rath’s shoulders tightly in her small hands, matching each and everyone of Rath’s thrusts. The warm water ran over their joined bodies, making their love making even more intense than it already was. His large mushroom head hit her g-spot, sending Maria over the edge. Maria dug her nails into his shoulders, thrusting her hips harder and faster as her walls clamped down on his thrusting hardened cock, milking him for all he was worth.

“Rath...”Maria screamed. Rath thrust his hardened cock as deep as he possible could, filling her fluttering core with his hot seed. “Ria...”Rath groaned. He continued to thrust inside her fluttering core, as he captured her mouth in another demanding kiss. Releasing her mouth, he pulled out of her fluttering core, and held onto her trembling body tightly.

When Rath was certain Maria’s legs could support her, he unwrapped her legs from around his waist. Maria moaned in protest, sliding down his hard body and setting her feet down on the bottom of the tub. Rath grabbed the soap, washing away the evidence of their joining, and then turned off the water. Opening the shower curtain Rath grabbed two towels, wrapping one around her body and the other around his waist. They stepped out of the tub, walking back into her bedroom.

Zan grumbled as he opened his brown eyes, his cock so hard from being in her dream that it hurt. He threw the black sheets and comforter back off his body, and climbed out of his bed. Opening his bedroom door, he walked in all his naked glory to the bathroom. Ava walked out of her bedroom at the same time. “Zan!” Ava yelled, covering her eyes in mock disgust.

Zan smirked, ignoring Ava because he knew she was once again complaining about him walking through the house naked. He opened Rath’s bedroom door, going through his room to their shared bathroom, making a mental note about making the spare room into another shower, as he walked into the bathroom. Zan turned on the hot and cold water adjusting the warm. He pulled up the lever to the shower, stepping into the tub and closing the shower curtain.

Liz woke up slowly, feeling stickiness between her thighs and on the mattress below her. A frown appeared between her eyebrows, her face scrunching as she recalled vague memmories of her dream. A blush stained her smooth cheeks, the dream returning to her in full force, along with a growing anger. She knew that brow hair anywhere. She’s run her hands through it often enough.

She slid out of bed, heading for the shower. Slipping under the water, she began to wash, her anger increasing when her fingers brushed her swollen clit. She let out a soft snort of anger, drying and dressing in her Crashdown uniform quickly.

Running down stairs to the restaurant, she waited patiently. She knew his schedule, and sure enough, Max strolled through the door half an hour later. He glanced at her as he took a seat, Liz hiding her seething anger.

Walking over to him, she took her pen and order pad out, a tight smile crossing her face. “You ready to order Max?” she asked. Max nodded, ordering the hash brown special, with a cherry coke and lime. Liz nodded, dropping the order into the kitchen, and getting his drink.

Returning to the booth, Liz waited until Max looked up at her. Liz narrowed her eyes slightly. “You made the decision to stay away from me Max. You made the decision to follow destiny. You can’t have your cake and eat it too,” Liz hissed.

Max rolled his eyes. “What ever Liz” he muttered. Liz snorted. Leaning closer, she whispered softly. “Stay out of my dreams Max.” His head shot up. “What?” he cried, startled at her out burst. Liz snorted. “Don’t dream walk me again Max…take it else where, coz I’m not being a side order to you any more.”

With that Liz up ended the frosty drink into his lap, watching in satisfaction as he yelped, Liz smoothing her face into innocence as her father came out of the office. “Every think ok out here Lizzie?” her father asked.

Liz nodded. “Yeah daddy. I was just clearing up something with Max, when I… accidentally… dropped his drink. Hope it’s not to cold Max” she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. Max stared at her in surprise, as Liz spun on her heel, and left the room. Max shook his head. “What the hell was that about?” he muttered.

Maria walked over to the closet, looking through her clothes. Rath moved the pillows lying back down on the bed. Propping his head up on the pillows, he ran his heated gaze over her body. He noticed she didn’t bring very many clothes with her. “I’ll have ta take ya shoppin” Rath said. Maria smiled, liking the idea of spending the day with him and shopping. It could be so much fun trying on clothes and modeling them for him.

She dropped the towel from around her body onto the ground, reaching into the closet and taking out a short black denim mini skirt with a hem of pleats, and a white halter-top that would tie around her neck. She walked back over to the bed, setting her clothes down on the mattress next to Rath. Rath raised his right eyebrow, seeing how skimpy her outfit was. He wasn’t sure if he liked the idea of her walking around in that, not without being attached to his hip.

Maria noticed the raised eyebrow but decided not to comment on it. She pulled the white halter-top over her head. Lifting up her hair with one hand and placing the strings around her neck, she turned her back to Rath. Rath sat up, taking the string into his large hands and tying it. Maria stepped into the black denim mini skirt with the pleated hem. She looked down at Rath, noticing that he was still only wearing a towel. He stood up, letting the towel drop to the floor at his feet, and reached down picking up his jeans.

Maria licked her lips, seeing his hardened cock standing proud. “Ya keeps lookin at me like dat and ya ain’t gonna make it ta where ya gotta be” Rath growled. Maria sat down on the bed slipping her feet into her black leather ankle boots. Rath picked up his black jeans stepping into them and buttoning and zipping his jeans. Picking up his black muscle T-shirt, he pulled the t-shirt over his head, then sitting down on the bed next to her.

He picked up his black steel-toed work boots, slipping his feet into them and tying the laces. After tying his shoes Rath leaned over capturing her mouth in a passionate kiss. “I’ll meet ya back here later,” Rath said. “Okay” Maria said. Rath got up from the bed, and walked over to her front door. He glanced back at Maria his brown eyes running over her soft body in a promise of what he planned to do to her before going out the door.

Maria opened the door to the recording studio going inside. Dominique smiled, hoping that Maria had decided to sing the song the way Adam wanted. “So are you ready to sing the song the way Adam wants it?” Dominique asked. Maria nodded her head yes. “Ok so let’s get started” Dominique said handing her the sheet music. Maria walked into the recording booth, standing in front of the microphone looking down at the sheet music, seeing the way her song had been changed. “I can’t sing the song this way,” Maria said.

Maria walked back out of the booth going over to Dominique. “You are not even going to try it?” Dominique asked, the disbelief emanate in her tone of voice. Maria shook her head. “Okay” Dominique said. Maria couldn’t believe Dominique was being so calm. “You have to give me the key to the apartment” Dominique said. “I will, I just have to get my stuff” Maria said. Dominique shook her head no. “The apartment was part of the deal” Dominique said. “What about my stuff?” Maria asked. “Not my problem” Dominique said. Maria took the key out of her pocket, handing it to Dominique, then turning around and walking out of the recording studio.

Maria looked up and down the street, hoping to see Rath. “I told him I was going to be here, and would meet him tonight at my apartment. I have no idea where he is. What am I going to do?” Maria babbled to herself. She walked down the street trying to decide what to do, before deciding to go into the coffee shop and get a cup of mocha. “Chocolate always makes things better” Maria thought. She walked into the coffee shop, going over to the counter. ‘What can I get ya?” Alexis asked. “I would like a Grande café mocha with whipped cream and chocolate shavings,” Maria answered.

Alexis ran her order up on the register asking “Would you like anything else?” “No, thanks” Maria answered. “That will be five dollars,” Alexis said. Maria reached into her inside pocket of her cracked white leather waist jacket, taking out her small red change purse. She opened the zipper, taking out a twenty and handing it to Alexis. Alexis took the twenty, punching in the cash register how much she was given, then gave Maria back fifteen dollars. “That will be right up” Alexis said. Maria nodded her head walking down to the end of the counter. She put the fifteen dollars back into her change purse, putting it inside her coat. She picked the cup of café mocha off the counter deciding to sit by the windows in hope that Rath would walk by.

Maria sat there slowly sipping her mocha and looking out the window. Having no luck with him walking by, Maria could only think of one solution to her problem. She reached into her jacket, and taking out her cell phone, decided to call Max and ask him where the dupe’s crib was. She dialed Max’s cell phone number, letting it ring waiting for him to answer.

Max recognized the number on his cell phone as Maria’s number, wondering why she was calling him and not Michael. “Hello?” Max said. “Max, I need you to do me a favor, not to ask any questions, and don’t tell Michael” Maria babbled. Max sighed. “What?” he asked. “I need you to tell me how to get to Rath’s crib” Maria said. Max gulped, not really sure if he should give Maria the address to Rath’s crib. “Girlfriend” Maria said, her tone indicating she wasn’t going to take no for an answer.

“Maria are you in trouble?” Max asked. “No, I just need to find Rath” Maria answered. “Do you know where the subway station is on Lexington Avenue?” Max asked. “Yes.” “Go down the stairs into the subway. Once you are down where the running trains are, there is one on the right that has a broken down walk behind it. There will be a small hole in the cement wall, you go through the hole and then follow the tunnels and that will lead you right to their crib. You can’t miss it” Max said “Thanks” Maria said, quickly hanging up her cell phone. She finished her coffee deciding to go now hoping he would be there. Getting up from the table, she threw the empty coffee cup into the garbage can, and walked out of the coffee shop.

Rath walked into her apartment building going to her apartment door. He noticed the door was open, which set of alarms in his head . Rath knocked on the door, incase there was someone inside the apartment, not wanting to reveal his alien status. An old lady walked to the door. “Can I help you?” she asked. “I’m looking for Maria Deluca” Rath answered. “That would be the girl that Dominique threw out,” the old lady said. She handed him a bag. “That’s her stuff if you see her.”

Rath grumbled, quickly turning around wondering where she could be. He quickly walked down the street and around the corner to his crib. Zan and Ava looked up in surprise when Rath walked through the front door. “Ria’s not at her apartment and that Dominique kicked her out…I don’t know where she is” Rath said in one breath. “Ya never told her where our crib was?” Ava said, the disbelief at her brother being so stupid in her voice.

“No” Rath growled. “ I know what she looks like, Zan and I can help ya look” Ava said. “I’m going to walk around, if I’m not back here in an hour with her, den start,” Rath said. “Okay” Ava said. Rath handed Maria’s stuff to Ava. “Put her gear in my room…I’ll be back soon” he muttered.

Maria walked the down the dark streets in New York City, with one destination in mind. She pulled the white leather cracked jacket tighter around her upper body, feeling the cold night air, which sending a chill down her spine. She silently wished she had worn something different today, though how was she to know Dominique would be such a bitch and demand the keys back right then and there. Her mind was filled with a million different thoughts, wondering if Rath would let her stay with him, since they had never talked about anything.

She had decided that she wanted to stay in the city, and would beg him if she had to, because she didn’t want to go back to Roswell. The thought made her sick to her stomach. Coming down the subway stairs, she walked down the stairs into the subway. Maria saw the old broken down wall, walking behind it. She saw the hole in the wall and stepped through it. Following the tunnel like Max told her to, she had this nagging feeling that she probably shouldn’t go down there. The tunnels seemed endless as she walked down them, stepping over a few pipes and puddles along the way. Finally reaching their crib, Maria glanced around seeing no one was there. “Shit” Maria yelled.

Her voice seemed to echo off the walls of the room. She walked over to the old beat up blue couch, sitting down on the couch, deciding to wait since she had no where else to go. It seemed like hours had passed, Maria grabbing the blanket off the back of the couch. She lay down, closing her green eyes. A short while later, she was fast asleep; the day finally taking it’s tole on her.

Rath grumbled to himself, walking down the dark streets of the city. He walked down the stairs leading into the subway, and ducked behind the old broken down subway car through the hole in the wall. He walked down the tunnel, stepping over the pipes and mud puddles along the way until he reached their old crib. He breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Maria curled up on the old couch. But he was still pissed. Anything could have happened to her. He didn’t like feeling scared. It was an emotion foreign to him. “Where da hell ya been B’tch?” Rath yelled.

Maria blinked, opening her green eyes staring in the direction she heard Rath yell. She watched him walk over to her in two strides, sitting down on the couch beside her. Maria tried to sit up, but couldn’t because Rath was sitting on the blanket covering her. “I told Dominique to go to hell, and lost the apartment I was staying in.” Maria said in one breath. She begged him with her green eyes. “I don’t want to go back to Roswell” Maria said.

Rath ran his large hands through his Mohawk deciding he needed to lay everything out right now. “I got a call from my dupe three days ago, asking me to keep an eye on ya” Rath growled. Maria’s green eyes sparkled with anger, hearing that Michael had asked Rath to watch her. “I followed ya dis mornin’ like I always do. I come back, and ya ain’t there. Walked all over da damn city lookin’ for ya” Rath growled.

Maria was so mad she didn’t think. She just started yelling. “Michael asked you to watch me. Is that why the first night I got here you fucked me? Cause Michael asked you to watch me?” Maria yelled. Rath raised his right eyebrow, not believing she had just asked him that. “No. I fucked ya cause ya one hot B’tch. I’ll take ya ta da bus stop, get ya back to Roshell” Rath growled.

Maria moved managing to get out from underneath the blanket quickly moving in front of Rath. “Can’t I stay here with you?” Maria asked. “No” Rath growled. Maria moved her small hand to his jeans, touching his hardened cock. She smiled, feeling his cock jump under her small hand. Rath saw her smile but was still pissed about hunting all over the city for her, and the fact she could think he only slept with her cause he was watching her, and also the fact she was here.

“Ya can’t stay here with me,” Rath stated. He looked into her green eyes, seeing the hurt and confusion. “I don’t live here, and it ain’t safe for ya ta be down here. Nicholas is still around” Rath growled. Maria’s green eyes doubled in size, knowing who Nicholas was and just how dangerous he could be.

Rath took Maria’s small hands away from his hardened cock, holding them in his large hands. He knew they had to get out of the old crib now, as it seemed to fuel his anger. Rath stood up, still holding onto her hands, helping her to stand. He growled again, seeing the short black mini skirt with the pleated hem and the white cracked leather jacket knowing she was wearing a tight and skimpy halter-top underneath the jacket.

“You saw me in this earlier” Maria said. “Ya weren’t out dis late and down here,” Rath growled. “Well if you had told me where your apartment was, I wouldn’t have had to call Max” Maria spat. “Max?” Rath growled. Maria gulped at the tone of Rath’s voice, wondering what Rath was going to do to Max, not that she really cared.

Rath lead her out of the sewers, down the tunnel and back through the hole behind the old broken subway car. They walked back up the stairs of the subway onto Lexington Avenue. Maria noticed that they walked right past the apartment she had been staying in. Reaching the corner Rath took a right going into the next house. He opened the door to his apartment, going inside and closing the door after Maria. Ava and Zan both came out of the living room. Ava frowned; seeing Rath’s eyes were almost black he was so pissed off about something. Maria saw Zan and blinked, remembering that Ava said he was dead.

Ava noticed the surprise on Maria’s face, realizing that Max must have never told her or Liz that Zan was alive, or the real reason he came to New York. “Ya should have told her were we lived Rath, den ya wouldn’t have had to look all over da city for her” Ava said. “ I know” Rath growled. Maria noticed for the first time that Rath’s eyes were almost black.

Rath walked over to her, and leaning down, captured her mouth in a bruising kiss. “I’ll talk wit ya when I get back” Rath said. Maria nodded her head, knowing that Rath had to release some of his energy that had been building up. “We will be back, Ava can ya explain some stuff ta Ria?” Zan asked. Ava nodded her head, watching as Zan and Rath walked out of the apartment.

Ava led Maria into the living room. Turning to face Maria, Ave noticed what she was wearing. “Ya stuff’s in Rath’s room if ya wanna get changed” Ava said. Maria noticed that Ava was wearing a black silk pajama top and matching drawstring pants. She doubted that Rath had any boxer shorts, since he was always going commando.

“I don’t really didn’t bring much with me. My clothes are mostly skirts, jeans, and a couple of tops,” Maria admitted. “I’m sure my brother doesn’t own a pair of boxer shorts. Come with me” Ava said. “Rath’s your brother?” Maria asked in surprise. “Yeah, he is.” Ava explained.

Maria followed Ava out of the living room and down the hall into the first room. She looked around the room, seeing the walls were painted royal blue, which was a little darker than the comforter with stars and moons on her king-sized bed. On each side of the bed was two oak end stands, with a blue glitter lava lamp on one and a blue lava lamp on the other one.

“Your room’s homey” Maria said. Ava smiled as she walked over to her dresser. “Thanks” Ava said. She opened her top dresser drawer, taking out a pair of black velvet pajamas. Closing the drawer, Ava turned back around handing them to Maria. “Ya can change in Rath’s bedroom” Ava said. Ava walked out of her bedroom, followed by Maria. “His room is da one at da end of da hall” Ava said, pointing to Rath’s bedroom. “I’ll put on a pot of coffee, then when ya come back out we can have coffee and I’ll explain” Ava said.

Maria nodded her head, and walked down the hall to Rath’s bedroom. She opened the door, stepping into Rath’s bedroom, and flipped the switch on the wall by the door, before closing the door. She looked around the room, seeing the walls were painted black with a black light on two of the walls. Each wall with the black light also had a black light wall hanging, one was a half moon, with all different sized stars around the half moon and two small planets, and the other was a skull and cross bones and two roses.

There was a king-sized bed with a black comforter, four pillows each encased in black silk pillowcases. She noticed that there was a matching metal headboard and footboard that had five thinner metal rods in the middle, two were holding onto the metal bar that came across in what looked like a fights and the other three each gripping a thinner piece of metal that was in the shape of a w. A set of silver shackles was attached to each end of the footboard and a pair of silver handcuffs was attached to the ends of the headboard. Two matching oak nightstands were on each side of the bed, one nightstand had a black skull strobe light and the other had a light that was shaped like a UFO.

Maria walked over to the bed noticing there was a square wooden chest with black metal hinges, which kinda looked like a pirates treasure chest. She wondered what was inside of the wooden chest, as she set the pajamas down on the mattress and sat down. Bringing her feet up, she unzipped the zipper on her ankle boots, before slipping them off her feet and setting the boots down on the white carpet. She stood up, finding the carpet was fluffy and soft.

Slipping her arms out of the white cracked leather jacket, she set the leather jacket down on the bed. Untying the string from around her neck, she pulled the white halter-top over her head, setting it down on top of her jacket, then pushing the black mini skirt with the pleated hem over her hips and stepping out of it. She set the mini skirt down on top of the rest of her clothes, before picking up the pajama top, and slipping it over her head, then picking up the bottoms and stepping into them.

Turning around Maria walked across the room opening the bedroom door turning off the lights walking out into the hall and closing the door behind her. She walked down the hall back into the living room where Ava was sitting in a royal blue rocker recliner.

Ava looked up from where she was sitting when Maria walked into the living room. “I didn’t knows what ya take in ya coffee, so if ya needs sugar or cream I can get it” Ava said. Maria sat down on the couch, picking up the coffee mug. “Blacks fine” Maria said. She took a sip of the coffee, waiting for Ava to start explaining. “I am assuming that Max never told ya dat Zan was alive,” Ava asked. “No” Maria answered.

“When I left Roswell, I went back to our old crib n found Zan n Rath. Ya can imagine my surprise, considering I saw Rath push Zan n use his powers ta run him over with a Mac truck. But it turns out dat Zan mind warped me n Lonnie. Lonnie had gone ta Rath, wanting him ta get Zan ta agree ta go ta da summit meeting. She was supposed ta get us all there for Nicholas, whom she was doin” Ava explained all in one breath. Maria smiled thinking that Ava could talk just as much if not more than she could. “From what they told me, Rath told Max da truth from da beginning. Max agreed ta help get Lonnie by going to da summit” Ava said.

Maria wondered why Max hadn’t told her and Liz the truth. She decided that she was going to revoke his girlfriend status for excluding to tell her, especially after everything they had done for them. She couldn’t believe the nerve of Max, not telling her and of Michael asking Rath to keep an eye on her.

“So what about you and Zan?” Maria asked. Ava shrugged. “We ain’t together any more it just don’t feel right. Never did with him, but I tried to love him. That ain’t no easy task. When I got back to da city, I decided that was that. We’re cool…better friends than lovers” Ava said softly.

“So what brought ya ta da city?” Ava asked, swiftly changing the subject. “This chic Dominique had been in Roswell. She heard me sing and offered me a deal to cut a demo. But they changed the song I had written all around wanting me to sing it that way, so I told her to go to hell” Maria babbled. “Ya sing” Ava said a big smile forming across her face, having had an idea.

Rath and Zan walked down the dark streets, going into one of the worse parts of the city, where there were lots of junkies. They often came here, because no one would really suspect what they were doing was not normal. “Ya know I wants ta strangle dat Max” Rath growled. Zan smirked, wanting to do the same thing. “Rath, she would never have asked Max if ya had told her where our crib was,” Zan said. Rath nodded his head, knowing Zan was right.

Rath’s cell phone rang, which seemed to make him even madder. Zan reached over, taking Rath’s cell phone. “It’s Michael” Rath growled. Zan opened the cell phone. “Yo” Zan said. “Rath?” Michael questioned. “Na man…Zan” Zan said. “I need to talk to Rath” Michael said. “Why?” Zan asked. He had no intentions of letting Michael talk to Rath. “Cause I do” Michael said. “I’ll have him call ya later” Zan said. He hung up the phone, turning Rath’s cell off before handing it back to Rath. “Ya should ask Ria what she wants ta do about Michael callin’ ya ta check up on her,” Zan said. “Yeah” Rath said.

They reached an area were there were less bums and junkies. Rath raised his right arm, concentrating on sending a large blast across the open space, hitting one of the burning barrels. He concentrated, picking the burn barrel back up with his powers and igniting the insides again. Zan noticed that Rath’s eyes were still very dark. He wondered if it was because of how he felt about Ria. “Ya in love with Ria?” Zan asked. Rath sent another blast across the area hitting another burn barrel. He shrugged his shoulders, not really even sure what love was. “Ya never even acted like dis with Lonnie, even when she was fuckin’ Nicholas” Zan explained. Rath shrugged. “Maybe” he mumbled.

Zan noticed that Rath no longer seemed to be on edge. “Ya ready ta go back ta da crib?” Zan asked. “Yeah” Rath answered. Zan and Rath turned around, walking back down the streets, heading back to their crib. “What was Ria going in da city?” Zan asked. “She sings. She was going to do a demo,” Rath answered. Zan brought his large hand to his goatee, playing with it while thinking.

“I’m havin’ an idea, dat might work for all of us” Zan said. Rath wondered what Zan had up his sleeve. “Ya talk with Ria, den I’ll figure out da details n talk ta her tomorrow” Zan said. Rath nodded his head wanting to get back to their crib so he could talk to Maria. He was going to force himself to behave, so they could talk.

Ava wondered if Maria had eaten earlier. “I’ll be right back,” Ava said. Ava got up out of the rocker, going into the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator looking inside, and then took out a pizza box. Setting the box on the counter top, she opened it looking inside. Smiling when she saw that what was left was the mushroom half she wanted. Opening the cupboard, she took down a plate putting four slices on the plate and waving her small hand over the pizza warming it up. She walked back into the living room setting the plate down on the coffee table. “Eat” Ava said. She wondered if Maria ever ate she was so skinny.

Maria picked up a slice of the pizza slowly eating it. Ava reached over picking up a slice of pizza. “You should have Kyle and Liz come ta da city,” Ava suggested. “You like Kyle?” Maria asked. “I think he’s hot” Ava said. “He’s my step brother” Maria said. “Ya be dating’ my bro…I like yours” Ava said. “I think Kyle likes you. He was all disappointed when we got to Liz’s and you weren’t there” Maria explained.

Rath and Zan walked back into the apartment, going into the living room. Ava got up from the rocker. “Night” Ava said. Ava walked out of the living room, going into her bedroom. “Ria, welcome ta da family” Zan said. Maria blinked, not really sure what to say. “Thanks” Maria said, her green eyes watching Rath’s every move. “Night, I’m off to bed…I wanna visit someone in her dreams” Zan said. Zan walked out of the living room, heading into his bedroom leaving Rath and Maria alone. Rath walked over to the couch, sitting down next to Maria.

“Iz sorry for being such an asshole earlier” Rath said. Maria hadn’t expected him to apologize. “Ya made me feel somethin’ I has never felt. Not being able ta find ya scared me, but none of dis would da happened if I had just told ya where our crib was. I likes ya a lot, n want ya ta stay” Rath said. “I don’t want to go anywhere,” Maria said. “What ya want ta do about Michael?” Rath asked. “Can we discuss him and everything else tomorrow?” Maria asked. “Yeah” Rath answered. “Good” Maria said. Maria leaned over, capturing Rath’s mouth in a fierce kiss. “We fought, now it’s time for make up sex,” Maria said. “It is…” Rath said. He got up from the couch, taking Maria’s small hand into his large hand, and leading her out of the living room and into his bedroom.
