Summary: The title pretty much speaks for itself!

Sky. Slowly fading. Stars. Home. Sand. Between my toes. Lights in the distance. Sand. Desert. No words. Just feelings and thoughts.
I walked along the desert it was getting late and I was heading back to my cave near Dingo rock. I hated this trip because I was never sure when the Dingoes would come out of their dens. I lived in a cave my whole life and I have known nothing else.
I had my beating stick in one hand and a dead snake in the other. That was my dinner for tonight.
I walked into the bay where the caves were and I saw something I had never seen before. It was green like snake skin but bigger, almost as big as my cave. I poked it with my beating stick and it made a funny noise. I picked up a rock and through it at the thing and it made a loud clank noise.
I heard a bark and I knew the Dingoes were coming, I didnt have enough time to get home to my cave. I had to take shelter somewhere.
I ran up the slope to Dingo Rock and went into the cave, I had no idea that the cave was up here but I didnt care.
I backed into the cave and looked round. There was a cloth lump on the floor and it was moving. I dropped my snake and took my beating stick with both hands.
"Yah!" I cried trying to frighten the creature "Yaha rah!"
"Uh Max shut up!" it replied and I hesitently walked up and poked it.
"Rah!" I hissed and it jumped up and grabbed my stick
"Sonova!" it gasped and let go of the stick "You're naked! God how did you get in here again? Damnit Max is going to kill me!"
"Rah!" I spat and he stood up and brushed himself off
"Are you from the Mesaliko reservation?" I went to poke him agian out of fear but he moved back.
"Hey watch were you're putting that thing" he put his hands up in defence and I pulled the stick away from him. He didnt seem like a threat.
He reached out his hand and I hit it lightly with the stick. It was harmless but I was still unsure. I leaned forward and sniffed it, it smelt hot and clammy and sweet like something I had never tasted before. I looked up at him and he looked shocked. I licked one of his fingers and pulled back god he tasted horrible. I made a face and he laughed.
It was infectious and for probably the first time in my life I smiled and laughed too.
"I think we should get you to a doctor. How long have you been out there?" he asked me but I didnt understand. He went to go to the door but I stopped him. Dingos were out and it was dangerous he couldnt protect himself like I could. He didnt have powers, he was from the Lights and they were only simple.
"Nuh" I shook my head and tried to pull him back
"It's okay. We're going out to the jeep and I'm going to take you to a friends house" I didnt understand a word he was saying but he pulled me so we were outside. There were dingoes trotting round and I panicked they were sure to pick up our scent. I grabbed my stick tightly and sent out a power shot to frighten them off for the time. I turned and grabbed his arm and pulled him down the slope. He was shock again and instead of him letting me pull him to my cave he turned and jumped into the metal beast.
"Come on!" he waved and I didnt have much choice. The dingoes were back and the entire pack was here. I clambered into the back and held onto the bar at the top. The beast roared to life but he commanded it, it was tame.
He took me back to his settlement and there were bigger shiny beasts but these were held down and didnt move. He helped me get out and he took me into one of the shiny beasts. It was dark like my cave, maybe he wasnt so simple after all?
There was another man but he was sleeping he smelt funny, like dingo poop. He took my hand and pulled me to a sleeping cave and he opened something and gave me a dress.
"Here I'll help you put it on then we'll take you to see a friend of mine" I looked down at the frilly flowery dress and wondered if all the girls in his settlement wore things like this?
He unbuttoned it and pulled it on over my arms. He started at the top and buttoned it up.
"I'm Michael Guerin" he smiled and I hugged him I told him the one word I knew. The name that had been my mothers
"Liz" I whispered and he hugged me.
"Come on Liz we have to get out of here" he took my hand and we clambered out the window. This dress was tight at the front and it was hard to move in it. It went down to my knees but I could still see my dirt dusty toes wiggle against the gravel.
We rode in his tame beast again and went to a place with white caves. These weren't shiny like Michael's cave beast but they were pretty. There was grass, bushes and hedges.
Michael lifted me out of the tame beast and took me round the side of the house. My tummy was rumbly and I hadnt eaten my snake.
We climbed in another window but this time the person inside wasnt sleeping.
"Not again Michael you can't let him hurt you like this" he stopped speaking when he saw me. He was shocked and questioning. I sniffed the air, it smelt sweaty and not hot. It wasnt like Michael it was slightly different.
"I found her"
"Michael you can't bring stray girls to my house" he got out of his bed and was wearing very little. I was impressed his muscles would probably get me a dingo baby I would eat well with him around.
"No I found her in the desert. Naked"
"Probably Kyle Valenti. You know what he's like, she's probaly stoned off her ass" he was angry I could tell and he was directing it at Michael. How dare he! Michael was a good simple person.
"Liz" I said feeling bad and he put his hands on his hips and shook his head
"See she has a name. She isnt a wild child or a Desert Baby she's just pissed"
"No she's more than that!" he yelled. The door opened and in walked a girl like me but she was wearing a thinner dress
"What the hell is going on here! Max what's wrong?"
"Michael's picking up pissed girls. Valenti's rejects!"
"Stop it!" hissed the girl
"I guess you really are trailer trash!" Michael punched the boy and I moved and stood in front of him protectively. This Max was a bad person.
"Mmmiiiccuuhll Guureen" it was differcult to pronounce but I did it. I turned and hugged him.
"I'm going. I'm borrow the jeep and I'm not staying here, I'll go hang out at Monks. He doesnt hit me and he's trailer trash like me!" we were on the move again. We left by the window and left the angry people alone.

Light was up when I woke. We had spent the night in the tame beast and we had slepts. I had curled up in the front and he was lying under the tarp in the back. I saw the angry boy from last night standing on the grass with a mug in his hands. He looked upset, I moved and jumped out the tame beast. My stomach was even more rumbly and I was starving I could smell food but it wasnt meat it was funny food. Simple people food.
"You look hungry. Do you have a hangover?" he asked me but I just stared at him. He looked into my eyes and shrugged
"You seem fine. Michael is off his rocker, he'll be in a in minute. Let's go grab some breakfast then he'll take you home" he gestured for me to follow him and I did cautiously. The food was stronger and there were plates on a wood table. I padded into the kitchen just after the older lady left. I didnt get along too well with them older people and I grabbed the bread off the plate she was preparing. I jumped up onto the cook top island leaving muddy footprints on it and crossed my legs and began to eat from the cereal box. This stuff was the sweet stuff like I had tasted on Michael. It was called Lucky Charms and damn different to what I used to eat. There were chocolate chips in a bowl too and I grabbed a full of them and ate them. Chocolate was amazing how had I lived without it? It was almost perfect but there was something missing. I sniffed at the bottles on the side and smelt the hot stuff and picked it up grabbed some choc chips and then took a swig. This was the most amazing thing I had ever tasted.
"AARRRGH!" screamed the older lady who had come back. I was a site to see. I looked into the stainless steel refrigerater and saw a girl in a summer dress with chocolate all over her mouth and mud on her feet.
"MAX!" yelled the lady and I jumped down and made a run for it. I collided with Michael when I reached the living room.
"Yah!" I cried in fear
"Liz calm down! Calm down it's okay! It's okay"
"Who the hell is she?"
"Her name is Liz. I found her in the desert. I think she's lived out there for the last sixteen years"

Isabel knelt behind me as she used the shower head to clean me off. I was naked again, naked and free. Isabel was wearing a swimsuit and she put some funny smelling stuff into my hair and scrubbed hard. It hurt why was she so mean to me?
"Almost done. Close your eyes" she ordered and I did. Water washed down over my face and I didnt like it. This was the first time I had had a shower. What ever that was it was like rain but there wasnt much rain in the desert and when their was I stayed in the cave and waited for it to stop.
The water stopped and she rubbed my eyes she mumbled something and pulled me out of the shower.
After their mom found me on the cooktop island Michael had rushed to explain that I was a Desert Baby. Was I meant to be with them? Was I a simple person gone wild? Thoughts were too much and I didnt think I just felt.
I was put in jeans that were cold and tight they were funny and as Isabel snapped the button shut I looked at myself in the mirror.
"Hold on you're not done yet Liz" she pulled me back to the wardrobe and pulled out a white thing called a Bra. It looked like a hat and I put it on my head. One cup fitted over my head and I did think it was a hat but what was the other cup for?
"Give me that!" Isabel pulled it off my wet hair and put it on me. She pulled it tight and fastened it for me. Then she pulled on a shirt that said this bitch bites. How did they know to make a top for me like that? That was very sweet of them but I hadnt bitten anyone...yet.
"Right now give me your foot" I sat down and stuck my foot out at her.
"Wow after you wash all the dirt off you have amazingly soft feet!" she gasped then she pulled on a sock and then grabbed a shoe. She fastened it up for me and then did the same for the other one. It felt strange to be wearing clothes.
"Come on Liz. We have to take you to the Sheriff station on our way to school" she took my hand and pulled me out. The boys gasped and Michael took my hand and led me out to the tame beast.
"Why do we have to hand her over to Valenti? This isnt right I dont want to do this"
"Shut up Michael. She probably has family out there, someone who lost her as a baby. God knows how she survived out their all this time!"
"Mmmmiiiccuuhhhlll"
"Yes"
"Wwwwhaaiirr yuuuooo tttaaaakking mmmeee?"
"To the Sheriff. He's going to find your family"
"Mmmmiiiccuuhhhlll yuuuuooo mmma fffaammaaleee" I stuttered. Damn this speaking thing was hard!
"I'm sorry Liz but you have a different family out there somewhere.
"Nnnoo mmmmeee ssstta wwwit yuuuooo" I pleaded but he looked away. He hated me, he was so sad and he hated me. It was all that Maxwell's fault. Curse him to hell and leave him with the dingoes. If he did anything else I was going to bite him first.
The Sheriff's station was cool and smelt of sweat and dead trees. I looked round and saw wirry things on the roof and they were spinning and making things cool.
"Llllooookkhca!" I pointed up and he smiled and nodded
"They're called ceiling fans. But you musnt touch them" I looked round and saw on a wall a poster on it was an evil face staring back at me.
I had very few memories but the ones I did were in my younger time when I was learning the land of the Desert. When the term Desert Baby had a great deal of meaning.
It was him Cal Langley staring back at me. He was on a poster for a film called the Blue Rail. The second I saw him my memories kicked in, I saw him and the Precious Lady and he was shouting like Maxwell did. Then he got really angry and the Precious Lady was gone and I was alone with him.
"Mmmomma" I whispered that was what she said she was to me. I looked back at the poster and screamed. That was the only thing that could truly scare me. He was going to come and kill me too.
"Liz!" said Michael panicked "What's wrong?" I tried to run but Michael had tight hold of me so I shoved him and climbed up over a desk just to get away I ran outside and into Max he hugged me and held me and didnt let go. I didnt have to go back into that place, Michael told them about me and they left a statement and we were back in the tame beast on our way to school. I had huddled up next to Michael and almost fell asleep, I was so scared.
We got to the school and it was totally a different place there was such odd smells I could smell and everything was about happy people. They were all laughing and talking to their freinds.
"Mmiicuhll wwotta dddaattt?" I pointed to everyone
"Those are students and this is school. I have a class where I have to sit and be quiet. You want to come and help me disrupt it?" I nodded not knowing what disrupting was.
"Michael you'll teach her bad habits"
"Screw you Maxwell!"
"Yyyeea! Sccruu yuuuooo Mmmaxxswell!" I turned and followed Michael. I could hear Isabel laughing herself silly as I went.
"Right this is my locker" said Michael as he took out a pen and a book then put his bag in it "It's were we keep our stuff" I watched him avidly
"This is my notebook. This is for my work, I do art when I can"
"Aaarrrtttt?" I questioned. He flipped open his book and showed me.
"Fratenising with new students again Guerin?" asked a blonde with boobs bigger than Isabel. I didnt know you could get them that big!
"I'm Pamela Troy nice to meet you" she pulled me away from Michael and we began to walk down the hall. I looked back and saw Michael smirking, I guess this was ok.
"Why do you hang around with his type? You can hang out with us, you're obviously very pretty and you can be very popular. But not as popular as me though no where near as popular" she pulled me into a group of girls all dressed similar to her. They had boobs as big as Pamela and then I knew they had to be fake.
"This is Chrisse, Tish, Stacey, Lanette and Kira what's your name?"
"Lllizz" I said trying to talk. Again talking was a bitch
"Nice to meet you Liz" they cooed. I didnt like this group they smelt funny like rotten eggs and dead animals.
"So where did you move from?" I didnt understand this question and Michael wasnt at his locker. He was gone and I was alone with these witchy girls!
"Mmmiiichhull!" I looked round panicked, I tried using my sense of smell to locate him but it was no good.
"Hey are you okay?"
"She was hanging out with trailer trash Guerin" said Pamela. Trailer trash was a bad word that was why Michael had punched Maxwell. Maybe I should do the same? I punched Pamela then turned and ran off to find Michael.
"Mmmiicchhull!" I called and found him sitting on a table eating an apple.
"So how did it go?"
"Pammellla sssaaidd bbbadd wworrds"
"What did she say? It's okay you can tell me"
"Pammellla sssaiiddd trrayleeer tttrrasssh"
"What did you do?" he smirked and Pamela came over with blood pouring from her nose and a lot down her top.
"That little bitch punched me!" Michael laughed like back in the cave. He was so funny that I laughed too.
"Oooh are we laughing at Pam Troy's expense?" asked a blonde girl about the same size me as she walked up she looked at Pamela and burst out laughing.
"Who was the cat who scrached you?" asked little blondie
"Her! I'm going to report this!" she hissed and stormed off
"Thank you so much!" she shuck my hand then hugged me "It's nice to have the roylaty brought down a peg or two just wish I could have been there to see it!"
"What do you want Maria?" asked Michael I could tell that by his suddenly sweat outbreak and the fact the he was silently panting that he wanted to mate with her. I smiled
"Mmmiiiccchuulll wwwannnttt Mmmmaweeerya" I said clearly and his eyes went wide. I saw a tree behind the table and hopped off the table. I left them to it and I went to conquer my tree.
I looked down and saw Maria slap Michael then walk off. He looked up at me and walked off in the opposite direction.
I stayed in the tree for a while and watched everyone go in to class and then I jumped down onto the table and ran off to catch up with everyone.
I looked for Michael but his scent went off up pointing land and I didnt want to walk across that it could hurt even with runners on. I looked round and saw an open door. There were a lot of kids sat there staring at the front. I walked in and jumped up and sat crossed legged on the desk and stared back at them.
Someone giggled and I saw it was Lanette one of Pamela's lackeys from before. Max was sat halfway down and he was staring at me, he was really quite nice. He wasnt such a meanie and he liked me, I had heard him say so in the Evans house.
"Liz" he whispered and he went to stand up and get me but a man walked in and he sat back down again. The teacher was reading something and then he looked up at me sitting on his desk.
"Who are you?" someone else giggled.
"SS'ok mma fffeeett nnnottt mmmudddy yyeenneeemooore" he looked round at the class then back at me.
"Does anyone know who this is?"
"I do sir" Max raised his hand and looked embarrassed because he was red.
"She's Michael Guerins little sister. You know how he was found in the desert?"
"Yeah"
"Well she was in the desert too only no one found her, she's been out there all this time"
"Oh my goodness. Who could leave such a child out in the middle of the desert. Is she okay?"
"Yes she's staying with me. Do you want me to take her out and back to my car to wait?"
"No no no that's quite alright. She can have a seat near the window and she can learn some English!" he sat me down on a seat near the window and he said some stuff then asked us to do this I didnt know how to do it though. They were scribbling stuff down in their books and I decided to scribble on the wall. I slid off my seat and began drawing on the wall.
"No Liz you can't do that" he said and took the pencil off me "You musnt draw on the wall be a good girl and come sit back in your seat" I sat back in my seat but got bored agian so I drew on the desk. I drew the things I had seen so far. I drew the tame beast and the bottle of hot sauce and I drew Isabel in the shower. I drew Michael getting slapped by Maria. The bell rang and I jumped out my seat and threw my pencil at it which made it stop.
"Good bye Liz see you soon" waved the teacher and I waved back as Max pulled me out the room and into the hall. He led me to the pointy land and I hesitated at first but I took that first step then another one. I was going up one step at a time. I looked up at Max and smiled. I reached the top and we walked round and there was another set of them. I climbed and conquered them too and then we went to science. I wasnt allowed to take part just sit at the side of Max and watch how he did his experiments.
I got up half way through science and walked out the class and headed down the corridor. It was empty and quiet, I liked that. I kicked some lockers and looked at the trophy cabinet before reached the pointy land.
I didnt want to face them going down and no one was with me. I jumped up onto the pole and accidentally slid down. I pushed myself off because I was frightened by the movement and I landed on the pointy land and fell. I hurt my leg, it hurt a lot and I cried.
"Ow" that word came naturally "Ow" I repeated clutching my ankle. There was red stuff but this wasnt hot sauce. This was what I saw when I went hunting for food.
"Mmmmicchuulll!" I shouted and carried on crying.
"Liz!" someone called and I saw little blondie come up the stairs. She knelt down next to me and looked at my ankle.
"I'm going to get help dont worry!" she ran and got Micheael and the nurse. Michael carried me to the white office that smelt like bleach and the nurse looked at my foot.
"It's a broken ankle. She cut her leg on the step that's why there's blood. She should go to hospital"
"No!" said Michael quickly
"She's never been and she's scared I'll take her. I'm going to make sure she isnt afraid"
"I'm coming with you" said Maria suddenly
"No!" he hissed but I grabbed Maria's hand and nodded
"Alright fine. Wait here!" he turned and ran off. He came back with a very angry Max. Max gave him the keys then picked me up. I cuddled into his chest and felt safe he took me out to the jeep and sat me in the back. Michael sat in the front passenger seat and Maria sat in the back next to me. Maxwell lifted my leg carfully
"Liz look at me" he whispered and I looked into his eyes and my foot stung then went warm. I could hear Maria screaming and I looked down expecting my foot to be gone but it was better. Max had healed me.
I watched Maria run down the road screaming her head off.

They were like me! Max wasnt simple he was like me! Oh this is brilliant! I love him to bits! He is just like me and I he cares, I saw it when he looked into my eyes and healed me. He is angry at Michael but he likes me and wants to protect me and I dont ever want to let him go.
"I'm taking you back to Michael's trailer and you are to stay there and stay away from Hank. Then Michael you are going to talk to Maria about what she saw and then we're going back to school and finishing the day like nothing ever happened"
He was a fool to believe things weren't going to be upset about this, healing me was dangerous especially with the simple blondie around. I couldnt believe she ran off screaming!
Michael's house was the big shiny beast tied down so it didnt move. I learnt the meaning of houses it was where you lived. My house was the cave and Max and Isabel's was the white house. They left me alone in Michael's room and they locked the door so I didnt go out and disturb Hank he must have been the man who smelt like poop.
I was alone and I curled up on Michael's bed which smelt a lot like him and fell fast asleep.
I woke up to a loud banging and the room was dark it was night and stars were coming out. I panicked and the door burst open and an angry man stood there staring at me with a belt in his hands.
"Who the hell are you? Did little Mickey get himself a slut?" he roared and I fell back off the bed in fear. I scrambled back to avoid him but he grabbed me by my hair and wipped the belt at me. It hit my cheek and shoulder and I made a impressive snap noise. It stung instantly, things were hazy because I had just woken up and then there was Max.
"Hey got off her!" he yelled and shoved Hank away from me
"Mighta known Mickey was a fucked up freaky shit. He screwing you too? Is that was this is all about? You and him and little slutty bitch here?"
"Dont call her that! Your the fucked up shitty freak you touch Liz or Michael once more and I'll report you to the police!" Hank turned round then spun back and cracked the belt at me. Max was there and he took it, he stepped in front of me and the belt slapped down on his bare arm. He winced in pain and then Hank walked out.
His arm was bleeding like my ankle had. He was hurt and it was all my fault. I helped him climb out the window and I jumped out myself.
"Maxsss" I cooed lookibng down at his wound. I gingerly reached out and touched it. I had to heal it to make him better I put my hands over it and looked into his big amber brown eyes and I did. I healed him and there was a little silver on his arm. He reached out and healed my face and shoulder. My shirt had ripped under the force of the belt he took me back to the tame beast also known as the Jeep and we sat in the back and hugged each other. He was crying
"Liz..." he whispered "I love you" I wasnt sure what that meant but I knew he meant it and it went straight to my toes and made them curl. I fell back asleep in his arms.
The next day I woke up on the floor in a comfy sleeping bag that smelt a mixture of Michael and Max. I looked round and saw we were in Max's room. Max was in his bed and Michael was sleeping next to me. He was snoring and he had drool on his chin. I smiled and snuggled in, he was like a big brother who would care and protect me for all time and Max would love me and make my toes curl when bad things happened.
"Good morning!" it was their momma and she jumped in surprise when she saw my big brown eyes staring back at her. I slipped out of the sleeping bag and I followed her into the kitchen. I sat on the table, I had compromised, it wasnt the cooktop island and I had clean feet. I wasnt used to sitting on chairs yet. I had a plate in my lap and I was eating steady when a man in straight clothes came into the room and spotted me sitting on the table.
"Diane who is this girl sitting on our table?" he asked
"Her name is Liz and she's Michael's little sister"
"Oh that doesnt explain why she's here"
"Michael's in Max's room and apparently Max and Isabel werent the only ones left out that night when we were coming back from Albuerquerque. Michael was there too and Liz has spent her whole life out there. Michael found he when he was looking for clues to who his real parents might be"
"Right" he walked up to me and held out his hand. What was the deal with this hand shaking thing? You simple people have strange habits!
"Nice to meet you Liz" I wasnt sure what to say but when Michael padded into the kitchen yawning sleepily I smiled.
"Miichhul!" I beamed. I was getting better at saying his name
"Morning Liz how are you feeling?"
"Ggoooddd Mmmaxxsswell sssaiiddd Iye lluvv yuuuou" Diane clattered plates.
"Did he say that to you?" I nodded
"Right when did he say that?"
"Iiin ddaaa Jeeppp" I told him "Aaafffta pooopp mmmann"
"Poop man? You mean Hank?" that's what Max had called him so I nodded.
"What did he do?" I pointed to Mr Evans belt and Michael got angry
"Did he hit you Lizzy?" asked Diane and I nodded
"Hhankk hhitt Lllizzz annnddd Mmaxss"
"He hit you and Max? Why didnt Max say anything about this? This is abuse of a minor. I think it would be wise for you Michael to be emancipated, this Hank fellow seems bad news" said Mr Evans.
So things were set in motion and Michael got a new house and that nasty man went away to a bad place were they punished you for being naughty.
I never went there. I think it was called jail? I didnt know.
I moved in with Michael and he went to school everyday and I stayed home and learn off a computer. It's a box that has magic words and pictures.
I was sat there staring at the computer and I pressed a button and a little box popped up with words on it. I could just about make out the words and one of them said Michael's art. I clicked on it and art off all different shapes and sizes appeared on the screen. It was so beatiful and there was one of Max and Isabel and they were holding hands. They were younger and so happy.

Michael came in and put his bag down on the table.
"Hey Lizzy baby" I didnt move from the computer and just sat there flicking through his art. I was getting the hang of this computer and I had been on it all day.
"Hheeyo Mmicchull" I finally got up and saw him flop down on the couch
"You hungry?"
"Yyyessss" I nodded
"Okay we'll teach you about food. Max is coming over later with Isabel and Maria. She needs a friend and she's still a little unsure about the whole alien deal" I climbed onto the counter near the window by the kitchen and Michael got food out.
He put cereal boxes on one side and then freeze dried dinners on the other
"Right now this is what you eat the in the morning when the sun comes up. This is what we eat when the sun goes down and this" he held up cheese and ham "Is what we eat in the middle when the sun is the highest in the sky" he put the stuff away and handed me a little book from the back of his pocket.
"I borrowed a dictionary from the school. I want you to read it and learn English"
"Ngglllissh" I thought back to my first lesson at the school. I wanted to go there again.
"Yes"
"Scccoool. Iye wwantt tttooo gggooo tttoooo ssschoooll"
"Liz you can't after you fell down the stairs it's not really safe for you yet. When you learn some more stuff you can but not yet"
I pouted and he shook his head "It's no good looking at me like that. I'm not letting you do it when you could hurt yourself!"
I opened the Dictionary and read the first word A then Aadvark. I sat there and read till my eyes went sleepy. I got up to J before I got tired. Michael was sitting on the couch watching Hockey and I jumped off the counter and jumped on next to him.
"Is..."
"Yeah, were did you get up to in the dictionary?"
"F"
"That's good so you coming to watch Hockey with me?"
"Ahmm" I nodded "Mmiicchull call me Desert Baby. I live in Desert all Llizz life"
"Yeah how did you get up there?"
"Cal hurt Liz"
"Who hurt you?"
"Nah um" I reached out and touched his temples to make him see and understand.
My mom was walking with me in her arms and she was frightened. Someone jumped out of the shadows and it was Cal Langley. My father.
"I can't leave you here Liz" he said
"Please if you're going to kill me dont kill her have a heart please! I'll do anything if you'll just let her live!"
"Go" he looked down and she ran off. She ran straight out into the desert she was near Dingo rock and she hid in my cave. He came after her and found her. She had hidden me.
"Where is the baby!" he yelled
"I'll never tell you!" she screamed "I'm not letting you kill her!" he put out his arm and blasted her until there was nothing left.
"My god!" he gasped "Your half human!"
"Ahmm" I nodded
"I can't believe you're half human!"

Summary: Ah I suck at summaries. It is what it is and Liz is Liz!

"He what??!" snapped Max angrily "Oh my god I can't believe he could do something like that!"
"I know it's so horrible. I mean it was Liz's mother, the girl he loved!"
"So I guess this means she's called Liz Langley then? We have to find out what her mother's name was"
"Liz" I said. That was her name, that was what he had called her. The was a knock at the door and I jumped up and opened it. It was Maria, I liked little blondie she was funny and she liked looking after me. She slipped in and tried to make herself as small as possible.
"So what are you?"
"Come in Maria. Sit down Maria. You thirsty Maria? Would you like something to eat Maria? Just go ahead and cut to the chase girl!" said Michael he had a funny but slightly angry tone to his voice so I wasnt sure whether to laugh or look at Maria angrily for doing something wrong.
"We're aliens"
"All of you?"
"Well we three are. We're just figuring out about Liz"
"She's an alien too? But she seems so..."
"What?" asked Isabel "So human?"
"So... nice" Maria finished herself then leaned against the door
"I'm nice" said Max and Isabel patted his arm
"Of course you are. There isnt an evil bone in your body"
"So do you know where you're from?"
"We were just discussing it. It appears that Liz's father might know but the deal is he's a pyscho killer who murdered her mom"
"Oh" she looked down "Can I help you?"
"Help us do what? You're just human!"
"No well yeah but I'm smart okay maybe not as smart as Max but I can do research and look things up. My cousin Alex can help as well he's good with computers and he can hack into any system the govenment spews out"
"You really want to help us?"
"I want to trust you and for that you have to trust me right?" I stood up and hugged Maria. She stiffened but hugged back
"Mmaweea hhhelllpp Lllizz" I said and they looked back and forth
"Okay fair enough" then Isabel put her coat on "If you dont mind I have a party to attend"
"Whoa wait right there! Mom said no more wild parties or you're in trouble. I'm going with you to make sure you dont get up to no good!"
"If you two are going I'm going too"
"Then whose going to look after Liz?" all eyes fell on Maria
"No! I did not come here to babysit some dumb alien!"
"She's not dumb it's just she doesnt know a lot of stuff yet. Just because she doesnt understand words and our ways doesnt mean she's dumb"
"Whatever man, I'm going to that party too. I was on the way over and I was going to go and take my mind off things so I'm not staying here in... what is this place?" she looked round in disgust
"I think we should take her with us I mean we can't leave her here!"
"But it's a party Max! A wild party full of sex and alcohol and jock boys full of sperm" whined Michael
"My god you really are her big brother. Come on Liz" Isabel stepped up and changed my clothes into a dress but this one was black. My shoes transformed into black sandals and my hair was up.
"There all done come on let's go" we all went out to the Jeep Max said it wasnt just called The Jeep it was also called Bob I was getting confused about the whole car naming thing. Michael stuck by my side all the way there and he wouldnt leave even after we got there. He was stuck like glue. I had read in the little Dictionary that glue was a sticky substance that stuck things together. See I can learn!
"Liz" he pulled me into a corner and sat me down
"Yyess Micchull?" my speech was getting better and better each day
"I have to pee so stay here and I will be right back. Dont go any where okay?"
"Ahmm" I nodded and he went off upstairs. The music was loud but I didnt mind it. People were moving about like they were standing on hot ground and I wasnt sure what to make of it all.
"Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!" I heard a loud chant coming from the kitchen and I stood up but then sat back down agian. I wasnt supposed to move Michael would be angry with me.
Some boy walked up to me and smiled down at me he had a paper cup in one hand and his hair was slicked back.
"Hi I'm Kyle" he held out his hand and I shook it. I learnt that is was a form of greeting like saying hello or hey.
"Liz" I could say it without a stammer now and I stood up
"That's a pretty name Liz. You're very pretty would you like something to drink?" I nodded because I was feeling kind of thirsty. He snagged a drink from the kitchen and gave it to me. It didnt smell like water but it was clear I wasnt sure whether I should drink it
"Dont you like it?" he asked his smile fading he wasnt happy. I shook my head and smiled then downed the drink in one go. Everything went blurry and my tongue went heavy and I felt like I was going to fly off.
"Hey are you okay?" he asked and I wobbled unsurely he caught me and I snuggled into his chest. Maybe I would take a little nap but just as I was about to fall asleep he moved and I fell down. Michael had hold of him and threw him at the banister on the stairs. He turned and helped me up
"Liz are you okay what did he do to you?"
"Get your hands off her Guerin! She's mine!" he hissed and grabbed Michael and began hitting him. I went furious and I grabbed the nearest thing that I could get my hands on. Which was a mop and when I look back I knew I should have chosen something better.
I hit Kyle over the head with the wet end but since I was very and utterly drunk it was a bit differcult on which Kyle to focus on. I hit him in the back then fell down. I saw Max coming in and breaking up the fight but Michael and Kyle just carried on. In the end Max gave up and picked me up
"Michael can take care of himself I'm taking you home" I snuggled into his arms and fell asleep.
I woke up and the first thing I saw was Max's beautiful brown eyes staring back at me. We were on Michael's bed and I was tucked in
"Hey are you okay?"
"Ahmm" I nodded and moved closer not taking my eyes from his
"Liz?"
"Yuh?"
"I love you" he leaned forward and kissed me. It wasnt like anything dirty it was just a sweet kiss between two people who cared about each other.
I didnt want it to be like that anymore and I wanted it to be different, like Michael wanted Maria to be his mate I wanted Max. I didnt want anyone else. I had chosen and Max was my mate.
The kissing came by instinct I didnt know exactly what to do but he liked it and I enjoyed it and I kept going. He pulled away and kissed my forehead
"Listen I better go. Michael went all big brother on you tonight and I dont want to be here when he gets back and finds me kissing his sister figure"
"Too late" Michael was standing in the doorway and he had seen the whole thing. Max got up and I stayed were I was. They went and had a big loud shout
"You dont think she's been through enough?!" yelled Michael
"Yeah that's why she needs someone to love her!"
"I love her Maxwell!"
"But not in the way she needs it! I dont want anyone else, please just here. I love her and we're going to be together whether you like it or not!"
"You better treat her right because if I ever come home to her crying and I'm going to hunt you down torture you make you heal yourself then do it all over again then I'm going to give you the FBI!" he was really angry and that was the last thing I heard before I fell asleep.

I was finally going back to school! I had learnt the rest of the dictionary and I only stumbled on a few words now. So here I was in Bob for my first official school day. They had been tracking my family and they found out I had cousins in Albuerquerque and an aunt on the edge of town. I was going to see her after school. Today was a temp day and if I was settled enough I would go and live with her and she would enroll me into highschool.
I climbed out of the jeep and linked arms with Maria. She was becoming such a good friend to me and she was being woven into our alien lives.
I saw the pointy land also known as stairs and I walked up them one at a time and I didnt trip up or fall.
At least one of my friends were in my classes well all except one and that was gym. I was a little worried about gym it was physical exercise and when I looked up physical it said exertion and I looked that up and that said pushing things out. It had something to do with me and I certainly didnt want to push anything out. Another biggy fact was that Kyle was in the same gym class as me.
I got changed and followed the orders Isabel had drummed into me. Dont take my knickers off, dont take my bra off and dont take anyone elses off and put it on my head. Get shorts on and a simple t-shirt and be ready, I also had to ask the teacher to tie up my laces since I hadnt any practice yet.
Then I was ready to go and we went into the large hall and it was slightly stuffy and stank of sweat and shone with used energy.
"Right today we are going to be climbing the ropes!" yelled the guy in charge. I think his name was Coach Dooly or Doody or Dody or something stupid.
"Line up now!" he barked and I moved and was shoved to the front of the line in the qirls queue.
"Right go!" I ran forward and began to climb the rope, it was easy like climbing a tree only thinner. Keep your knees together and dont let go of the rope. I was so fast that the boy on the other rope was still only half way up.
"You girl I want you and Kyle my prize wrestle to go and tackle the gym in the next room. Then hit the showers I think I want you on a team Guerin!" he barked and I was pulled off by Kyle. I didnt like Kyle he was trailer trash and I wasnt sure what was going to happen.
The coach had devised some stupid obstacle course for his best players and I didnt see the point of it. Half way through I got up and wandered off to find something more interesting.
I found a group of kids all sitting outside drawing trees and plants and stuff. Michael was with them
"Hey Michul" I smiled as I stood next to him
"Liz what are you doing out of class? You're going to get into trouble"
"I hadd tooo ddo the ggimmm wiiittth Kyle aaandd I dont liiikke hiiiimm aaandd it wwwazss boarrrinnngggg"
"Well you go on back and make it a little more fun. See if you can beat him?"
"Beatttt hiiiimm?" I asked unsure and I mentally looked up the word Beat. Hmm that would be interesting "Okhaay byye byye Michul!" I kissed his cheek and headed back to the dumb course. Kyle was looking around for me and when he spotted me he pulled me away from the gym and into a room that said Eraser Room. Maria had warned me about this place, this was were they did it I wasnt exactly sure what it was but it was booed upon and not done in public.
"Have you got a boyfriend Liz? Is it that trash you hang around with?" boyfriend. A friend who was a boy? I had Max and Michael they were both boys and both my friend
"Yessss I haffve boooyyfrieeennnddssss"
"Oh a two timer oh well. Make it three all!" he leaned in and tried to kiss me like Max had but this was wrong bad and tasted funny. He tasted simple, Max wasnt simple and he made my toes curl and my chest go bump more
"No!" I pushed him away but he grabbed hold of my wrists "What's the matter Liz aren't I good for you?"
"Geeetttt way!" I panicked and pulled back and ran to the door but it was locked. No one was there to help me, then I got wise I turned and chose my fight or flight. I was a wild child and no dirty man was going to hurt me with it! I grabbed a meter ruler off the table and gripped it on two hands and went back to my wild child habits. I hit him over the head with it then kicked his shin and shoved him into a block of shelves.
I kicked the door near the handle and I ran all the way back to the girls locker room and got changed as quickly as I could. I had slip on runners because I was no good with laces and I ran off to find someone and tell them what had happened.
I ran into a boy who reminded me of Maria but he was taller and had darker hair than she did.
"Hello are you okay?"
"Ky-ky-ky-kyllleee tttrrryy dddooo it wwwiffff mmmee"
"Kyle Valenti tried it on with you?" I nodded and almost burst out cyring "Are you okay do you want me to take you to a friend or something? What class are you friends in?"
"I dddontt kkknnno" I stammered and he looked round unsure what to do
"What are your friends names?" Max. I wanted to go to Max and he could make me feel better just like after Hank hit us.
"Maxxxssweell Eeevvvannns" I told him he smiled
"Oh I know him come on. I think he's in science" he knocked on the door and walked in like he owned the place. He was so happy and loving
"Can I talk to Max Evans please?" he asked the teacher and the second Max saw me standing in the door way he bolted out his seat and ran up to me and wrapped me up in his safe and comfy strong arms.
"What happened love?" he asked me. The nice boy came out and shut the door behind him
"Kyle tried it on with her. Apparently she didnt want it and he didnt stop"
"Thanks for looking after her Alex. Liz did he touch you?"
"Ahmm" that was my word for yes
"Where did he touch you love?" I put my finger tips on my lips then my wrists then put my arms around Max.
"I dont think he managed to do much. I am going to kill Kyle Valenti for this!" he pulled away from me and marched down the hall. Kyle had gone back to gym and was on the tumble mat and when Max burst into the room her froze.
"I'm going to rip you apart!" he yelled and lunged at him and started pounding his head in.
"Hey get offa him!" the coach yanked Max off him and helped Kyle up.
"He just tried to rape my girlfriend!" yelled Max. Kyle denied it and the coach told Max to leave the room.

Next Part: Liz meets her Aunt Serena and returns Max's love. She also learns that her father is closer than she thought.

I was sitting in a Cafe. My first cafe! Here little old me was Liz Guerin, alien wild child sitting in an alien themed cafe drinking milk because coffee sucked. Maria said I was spending far too much time around Michael.
Max and I had a free period after we were told to leave school and 'cool it' after Max almost punched Kyle into the ground. I'm such a lucky alien!
It's lunch time and the others are going to meet us here. I already ordered, I ordered a Chilli Rocket Dog and Max ordered Cherry Cola and Venus Meatloaf Platter. Little Piggy.
I was going to make the trip to my aunty earlier because we had a lot of time on our hands. Max dialled for me because phones were tricky and I spoke into the talky thing.
"Heyo. It's mmmeee Liz I'mmm commminnngggg rouuuunddd affffta dinnnnair issss fthat okkkayyy?"
"Sure I'll see you soon" I smiled and he put the phone down. I couldnt believe I was going to meet my aunt! My aunt! My momma's sister! Can you believe it!
Michael came in and kissed my forehead then sat down next to Max. Maria slid in next to me and Isabel just ignored us and ordered take out.
"So are you all looking forward to visiting your aunt this afternoon?"
"Ahmm"
"We just called her isnt that right Liz" said Max as he put his hand over mine. Michael pinched his finger and dropped his hand on the table
"Leave her alone. She isnt used to all this lovey dovey crap Mr Romance"
"Bite me!" spat Max roughly and I smiled. Lovey dovey stuff must be kissing am I Mrs Romance? Are we married now? I need to learn more stuff.
"Lookkk" I said very clearly and they all looked and saw a large black car pull up.
"It's a limo"
"In Roswell? No that's not right" said Maria. We all got up and peered out the windows. The door opened and out stepped the person I had least expected. It was him. My father, the man who had killed my mother and who had tried to kill me. I backed up away from them
"Liz? What's wrong?" I turned and ran through the cafe and out the back door. I just kept running fear ful to turn back and I ran all the way to Michael's house and hid under his bed which smelt like melted cheese and sweat socks.
He was going to come and get me! He was going to come and kill me! I knew it! I had to get somewhere safer than this! I know my Aunty! I'll go there and she'll look after me. I'm an alien so momma was one too so Aunty Serena should be just like me. She can protect me from him!
I slithered out from under the bed and meet with two black boots. I screamed and thumped down on one foot
"Ow! Sonnova!" cried Michael as he hopped around on one foot clutching the other.
"Michael!" I gasped
"What's wrong?"
"Him"
"Who?"
"Cal. My pappa" I told he and he finally got the whole deal.

TBC...

Meets with Cal and Cal tells them his in town making his new "movie" and he has some shocking information for the gang. Oh BTW sorry for you Tess lovers out there but there will be no Ducks in this story. Sorry No Ducks.

We avoided the Crashdown and headed off. Max was going to meet us there. It was a large ranch and there were a few sheep held in a pen.
"Hello!" she waved and I jumped out and ran up to her and hugged her tight.
"Hello! Annteee Sireena!"
"It's nice to meet you! I can't believe you're my niece!"
"I'm her friend Michael. Her boyfriend is coming over as soon as he can"
"She has a boyfriend? Well that is a surprise shall we go inside?" we all went inside and I sat nervously on the couch. I was getting used to sitting on seats and couches.
"So how have you been?"
"Gooddd" I smiled
"She doesnt talk much. She just learnt English and she's spent most of her life in a cave. I was abandoned in the desert and she could be my sister"
"I didnt know Claudia had two children"
"Claudia? I thought her name was Liz?" asked Michael
"It is. Claudia Elizabeth Parker"
"So her name is Liz Parker then?"
"I guess so"
"She understands what you're saying. Could you explain about who her father was?"
"Claudia got into a bad relantionship with some actor before she went missing. I always thought she ran off to L.A with him"
"That's not the case. He's here"
"Where? In Roswell? Is she here too?"
"Mrs Parker"
"Ms I never married"
"Ms Parker, she isnt in Roswell. She was killed sixteen years ago"
"No she's alive!"
"He killed her. She ran off and he killed her, he was going to kill Liz but she hid her from him. She's dead Ms Parker"
"No!" she cried. I wanted Michael to stop making her cry.
"I'm afriad it's true" he continued
"Shuh!" I urged and he stopped speaking.
"Get out!" she spat
"Annnteee Sireena"
"No! Get out right now!" Michael took my hand and we left. I didnt want to go anywhere. I wanted to stay with my aunty and have a family. I wanted Michael to live with us as well and we could all be happy and Max would love me and they would all love me.
"You want to go home?" he asked. Home. Simple as that, that was were I belonged and where I should go. I nodded and jumped from the jeep and took off in a fast run. I was going home to my cave.
"Liz! Come back!"
I ignored him and just kept running. I felt free and pulled off those stupid simple clothes and ran through the heat of the desert till I reached Cactus point then I headed south towards the Dingo rock.
I ran straight past the hidden car and right to my cave. I finally felt home when I came into my cave with hand paintings on it made with all different colours. I smiled but it fell when I saw him there. He had finally come for me.
"Hello my daughter" he greeted and I fell back in fear.

I just sat there and he stared down at me. He stepped closer and I was out of space with my back near the entrance. I couldnt move I was frozen in fear.
"I thought you were dead" he whispered. He thought I was dead? Then why was he here now?
"Nuh" I shook my head
"You look so much like your mother. I killed her before she could tell me where you were" I sucked in a sharp breath.
"Wwwatt yuuoo wannttt?"
"You" he stated. I slid along the cave wall till I reached the outside bay near the slope to Dingo Rock. I ran, I was expecting him to blast me like he did to my momma but he didnt do anything. I looked over my shoulder and saw him standing there. I ran till I reached the rode I saw Bob speeding toward me and I had to shout something. What was it? Oh yeah that's it
"STOP!" that was the first word I said clearly since I had been found "STOP!" I screamed it at the top of my voice and Bob screeched along the road and Michael and Max jumped out.
"Liz! Are you okay? You ran off and I was so worried!"
"Cccalll!" I panted and pointed
"What? He's here where!" snapped Michael and we all could see Cal walking towards us. Max put me behind him and put his hand up
"STOP OR YOU'LL BE APART OF THIS DAMN DESERT!" yelled Max. Cal stopped moving and just stood there.
"WHY ARE YOU HERE!"
"TO TALK TO YOU!" he yelled back. Max moved closer to him and I dug my nails into his back and cautiously followed him.
"What do you want?" asked Michael
"To give you this" he reached into his pocket and pulled out a metallic sheet book.
"What's this?"
"Your birth right King Zan"
"King Zan? What?"
"You're King Zan of Antar, your home planet" he turned to Michael "You are General Rath, second in command to the king and you" he peered at me over Max's shoulder "Are the queens replacement"
"Explain now!" Max ordered
"There was a planet. Antar. You were the king you were the general and your sister was princess. Zan married a girl called Ava but she died in the crash along with her protector I put your pods in the rock cave and left you to it. After I found out that Ava was dead there had to be a replacement. That's where she comes in, I met a girl who fell in love with me and I got her pregnant. The girl was of no use to me so I killed her. But she hid the baby on me and when there was a report in the paper about a missing girl turn up from the desert I had to come and check it out myself"
"So I'm king of some planet and Liz is going to be my queen?"
"Well... yeah. Now can I go?"
"Sure get out of here!" Max waved his hands and Cal just walked off like that. I didnt understand what was said he spoke too fast but I was waiting for the explaination. Max opened the book on the last page and there were three faces and a burnt mark on it. He waved his hand over the burnt mark and my face appeared.
"I think you're meant to be with Isabel" he said "Because if Liz is..."
"No I dont see Isabel as a wife or whatever I see her as a sister just like I see you as a brother"
"Then what do we do?"
"I dont know. I think we should take Liz home and talk to Cal some more. Call Maria to babysit Liz" Max lead me back to Bob and no one had explained anything yet. I was slightly irritated that they werent telling me and I still had a lot of fear and anger that they just let Cal go like that!
"Max?" I said and he looked at me I reached out and took the book off him. His face was above mine and Michael's was below Isabel's. These were mates but Michael wanted Maria not Isabel. This wasnt right. I turned and threw it out into the sand
"Wrrronngggg" I said and tried to frown
"Liz why did you do that" he said as he got out the Jeep to go get it. I leaned over and blasted it into itty bitty pieces.
"Wrronngggg!" I hissed and he glared at me. I crossed my arms and sat there with my chin sticking out. Michael was just snickering.
"I'm driving" Max said finally and Michael sat in the back with me
"I'm glad you're okay Liz and Thanks" I smiled and nodded. He kissed my forehead and we soon arrived at his apartment and went in. Maria was sat there with her mom looking very stiffled.
"Hello Liz how are you?" she asked
"Goooddd Mizzz Ddellluka"
"Michael"
"Hello Ms Deluca how are you"
"Dont how are you me! I found out about your little midnight visits! I dont want you to see my daughter anymore!"
"MOM!" cried Maria "You can't pick my friends and we just watch scary films!"
"Yeah is that what you crazy kids call it nowadays?" she snapped "My daughter is watching scary films with boys!"
"Mom I'm not sleeping around. I'm still a ergin"
"What?"
"I'M A VIRGIN!" she screeched then blushed bright red
"Hmm okay sweetie. Michael I have a shot gun under the couch" she smiled then left.
Maria jumped up and went to the fridge and grabbed the emergency tub of ice cream. When things got bad that was what we were supposed to eat. All of us had a tub on hand if anyone cried. I needed a hell of a lot of it too so I grabbed a spoon, I tried eating it with my fingers but they just got cold and sticky, and I joined Maria on the couch and we ate the entire tub to ourselves while the other aliens had a "talk".
Cal was my dad and he wasnt going to kill me. But he still killed my mother and I was going to make sure he suffered for it. Yum this icecream is good.
"Maweerya?"
"Yea hun?"
"Yuuoo lllikke Micchul?"
"Yeah I do a bit"
"Likkke Lllizz annddd Massxxx?"
"I dont know" she leaned over the back of the couch and watched him for a moment "Yeah. I do I love him"
"Ahmm" I smiled. I just wish that Isabel had a boy to love like we did.
"I know what you're thinking" said Maria. Did she? I thought she was a human!
"Huh?"
"You want and try and blind date Izzy with some guy dont you!"
"Ahmm hhoooo?"
"I know just the guy!" she said and she dug her spoon into the tub and took mine and did the same. She tried to pull me out the door but I managed to run back and grab the spoon for one last bit.
"Hey she's kidnapping our queen!" they called as we ran down the hall to the Jetta. Maria's tame beast.

Disclaimer: I own nothing, sadly!

We rode in the Jetta and we arrived back at Maria's house. I saw her mom peeking out from behind a curtain and we went in and found Alex there.
"Hey Alex" smiled Maria.
"Hey" he looked unsurely at her "Could you come to school with me tomorrow? There's someone I would like you to meet"
"I know all your friends Maria"
"No I got new friends. Her name is Isabel Evans"
"Oh the uptight girl who thinks she's the worlds best model"
"I thought I told you to stay out of my diary!"
"Bite me. Hi Liz"
"You know Liz?"
"I know all your friends" he smirked. I was getting bored again they were talking and they had left me alone. I thought back to my aunty Serena and she wasnt too far away. Maybe I should go back and see her, it was nice talking to her because she was so much like momma.
I could tell her that my poppa is here and I can tell her that he came to my house and was going to hurt me. I can tell her that I left my spoon on Maria's jacket in her car.
I quickly walked out the house and off down the street. I smiled happily to myself and thought of a song. Song is music and has a tune that you can sing. Maria told me because she said music is very important and she sings all the time. She taught me a song called Michael is a... what's that?
I can see dark grey stuff coming from my Aunty's house. What is that stuff?
"Anteee Sireeena!" I called and I tried to get near the house but it was hout and red and yellow things were trying to get at me. I saw the sheep had gotten out and some of them were prattling round away from the thing that was so hot. I saw an open window and I rushed over and climbed inside. It was so hot and I was scared but I had to find aunty Serena.
"Anteee Sireeena!" I called and looked round. It was dark in here and I couldnt see much because of all this grey air. I knelt down and looked round. I saw her lying on the floor with red stuff on her side. There was a knife in her side. I knew it was a knife because Michael had told me they were sharp when he was teaching me how to eat properly. I pulled it out and healed her wound. I managed to drag her over to the open window and there were more of those red and yellow things around trying to lick at us. I was more scared but I had to get her out where it was safe with the sheep who knew it was safe out there too.
I pulled her up agianst the wood then climbed out and managed to lift her up and drop her on the ground. I dragged her a little more then the house went bang and I fell over. My head hurt and there was red stuff on the side of my head. Aunty Serena got up and looked at me
"You came and saved me! Goodness are you okay! We have to get further away than this!" she got up then helped me up and we both stumbled across the street and the house went bang again but this time I didnt fall down. We settled ourselves on the grass just as we heard sirens further down the street. I reached up and healed myself and aunty Serena gasped and leaned back away from me
"What are you!"
"Liz"
"Freak!" she called and then the police cars pulled up.
"Are you okay?" asked Sheriff Valenti.
"She got me out of the fire and she hurt her head. Then she did something and they cut on her head was gone!" Valenti looked at me with raised eyebrows and my desert given instincts told me to run far and fast. I jumped up as he lumbered toward me and sprinted back to Maria's house. I just knew it was Cal who had tried to kill my Aunty Serena.

TBC... Sorry it's getting short. It's just up to a point and I like to leave things on a cliffhanger! No nothing to do with Isabel or any cliffies!
