Sydney Davis brushed her brown hair behind her ear as she grabbed her bag. She was eleven years old and on her way to work at the UFO Centre with her dad. She walked past the photo on the fride and smiled as she looked it over. When she had got cancer her mother had packed her off to her father and never asked for her back. She didn't mind though, she was strangely happy in this quiet little one-alien town.
Syd pulled on her coat when the phone rang, she snorted knowing it was probably her dad checking up on her. She answered it smiling
"Hello dad" she said into the phone but the erratic breathing on the other side wiped the grin off her face
"Sydney... you're in danger. They're onto you, I know what you are and they do too. You have to get your father and leave Roswell right away"
"I don't know who you are but this isn't funny"
"Your Angel had brown hair didn't he? He saved your life that night didn't he?"
"How did you..."
"No time. I'll meet you out in the Desert off 285, bring your father" said the voice before the line went dead. Syd didn't even bother hanging up the phone. She hurried upstairs and shoved all that she would need into a duffel bag and she grabbed her dad's and did the same. She grabbed the two and slung them over her shoulders before hurrying out to the UFO Centre. In her most terrifying nightmares she had dreamt this, and now it was coming true.
***
Corey was riding his bike when he saw the black sedan following him. He had seen the same one for the past month and it was starting to freak him out. He turned onto his street and went up the drive, he dropped his bike down and scurried as fast as he could into the house. He peeked through the window in the door and saw them park up. He had to get out of there. If he didn't he would end up like that boy he dreamt about when he had nightmares.
"Corey? What are you doing back? You'll be late for school sweetie" said his mother. She had come investigating when she heard the front door. He just ignored her and brushed past her up the stairs
"Corey" she said angry he had just brushed her off, he turned round to look at her. If only she knew, he thought
"I'm sorry" he whispered, he moved to continue up the stairs but a sound shot through the hall. It sounded like someone had thrown something really fast and it made a swish sound. He looked round for the cause of it and his eyes landed on his mom. A large red stain was marking her white shirt and blue apron
"Mom!" he cried as she fell to her knees. There was a whole in the door and people coming up the driveway. He hurried up the stairs and into his room locking the door, he knew it wouldn't do much good but he could at least try. He grabbed his large backpack from under his bed and shoved his clothes and his bottles of Tabasco and Soy Sauce in, some shoes and a picture of him and his parents.
They were banging on the door, breaking it down, trying to get in and get him. He pulled his backpack on both shoulders and opened the window, he glanced back at the door and closed his eyes. He didn't know how many were there but he would sure as hell mindwarp them to get a clean get away.
He was running on pure adrenaline and his hands where shaking as he slid down the porch roof and landed in the rose bushes. He grabbed his bike and dragged it through the bushes, no one noticed him riding away from the crowds and monsters storming his house.
***
Ella Hughes paced in the desert next to her simple green jeep. She had broken away from the circle of family she had known the last five years due to visions. She knew her husband would be going crazy with worry but right now she couldn't care. She had to protect the children, she had no idea that Max had seen into their lives and as strange as it sounded she felt like she had become a mother to those six children over the years. She could sense them, she was sure that Drew Wallbanger could feel them too since he had been healed just like they had, but he kept quiet about it and never let on.
She started when a car roared along the desert toward her, her heart leapt out of her chest as she raised her arm against the offending vehicle. The car pulled up and she could just make out the people inside, she would known Brody's mad red hair anywhere. She smiled and lowered her arm. Syd and Brody got out of the car and walked gingerly towards her
"Who are you!" demanded Brody "And why do you have my daughter so frightened?"
"It's not me she has to worry about Brody. I'm on your side" she said
"You're with the Angel aren't you? I remember, I saw him once and you were with him... but you didn't look like that"
"I know, this is a disguise to protect myself. You'll learn about it soon enough. It's time to get going" she said and Syd walked forward but Brody stopped her
"We're not going anywhere till you explain what's going on!" he shouted
"When your daughter was six she was dying of cancer and then one night it just magically disappeared, a hand print left as the only sign of a miracle. That miracle has happened four times... your daughter is different now Brody. She isn't human anymore" said Ella "Neither am I and the people who have been hunting me and my family are coming after her. They've put two and two together and they want her, they will stop at nothing to get her. You have no choice but to run"
"Who are you? How do you know all this?" he asked. Ella sighed as she waved a hand over her face revealing a body she had long forgotten in the last five years.
"Liz? Liz Parker?" he gasped
"It's Liz Evans now but for safety" she waved a hand over her face returning to Ella "It's Ella Hughes, so are you ready to go?"
"Dad we can trust her. I can feel her, we can trust her it's okay" said Syd and he nodded. She moved to sit in the back of the jeep and he got the duffel bags and tossed them in the back before joining his daughter. Ella walked over to him and looked him over
"What?" he asked nervously
"You can't look like that. Here" she said waving a hand over his face, giving him black hair, she changed his features. She moved to do the same but Syd held up her hand and waved it over her face causing her to have blonde hair and green eyes. She looked completely different
"Where are we going Ella?" asked Syd
"To help your brothers and sisters. I just hope we're not to late" she whispered as she started the engine and drove back toward the road.

It was dark when he reached the next state. He felt really tired and he had no where to stay. He had just hopped on his bicycle and kept going until he felt too weak to go any further.
He knew he was somewhere between Albuquerque and Roswell but he wasn't sure. He climbed off his bike and set it down on the side of the road and he huddled up next to it and broke down crying. The effect of his adrenaline had worn off and now he was grieving for his murdered parents. He didn't hear or notice the car coming up fast until it stopped in front of him. He stumbled to his feet kicking dust around and raised his arm in fear. It was a jeep, a green army jeep and he feared they'd caught up with him.
The lights temporarily blinded him and he couldn't see the figure who got out of the driver's seat
"Corey?" her voice rang out in the desert and he seemed to break down even more. One angel had come on Christmas to save him... this one was here to take him away. She moved away from the light and he saw her red hair and dark features. His heart leapt in his chest, this wasn't the Deadly Angel that had haunted his saviour five years ago in that hospital.
"Who are you?" he asked sniffing hard and wiping away his tears with his sleeve. She knelt close in front of him and revealed herself to him, he barely recognised her from the flashes he saw from his saviour
"You... you're Liz Parker" he whispered
"Yes" she smiled pulling him close into a hug "But you can't call me that. Call me Ella from now on, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you Corey"
"They killed my mom. I don't know about my dad, I got out before they could get me. I was so scared" he whispered
"It's okay now. Shush, once we find the others we'll go to a place where no one can ever find us" she stated as she helped him over to the back seat where Syd sat sleeping. Brody sat up front and watched the interplay between the two. After his daughter fell asleep Liz had filled him in on everything, she told him all she knew and he was still coming to terms with it.
***
Sally and Lauren were working on their science project together, their dad knocked on the door and let himself into their room to see the two twins working. They were never apart, no not since Lauren had almost died when she was seven. He was amazed to find that a silver handprint in return for his daughter's health but what really surprised Andrew Hall was that only two weeks later another appeared on his other daughter Sally. He took her in immediately and they found out that she had had cancer but she too, like her sister, had been miraculously healed.
"Hey you almost finished? It's dinner time you know"
"We know dad" said Sally as she wrote down one last thing.
Lauren had healed her sister and ever since then they had this constant connection were they could talk to each other telepathically amongst other things.
"Okay. The Lakers are playing again tonight. Want to come with me?"
"Are you sure? Last time your boss shouted at you, I mean he is the coach and he does have a say in the matter"
"I'm sure... hey how did you know about my boss? I never told you" he said, it was nothing surprising. Over the years they had just known things without ever being told.
"It's a secret" said Lauren playfully. As if on cue both of the stood up and headed out the room holding hands. Even though they were twelve and it was uncool for them to do so they did it anyway. When they were holding hands their energy was flowing in a circuit through them, nothing could break that. They had grown accustomed to their energy mixing and enjoyed it because they felt whole.
***
Andrew, Lisa, Lauren and Sally all sat around the table eating dinner in silence. They rarely spoke when they were eating, the food was good so words were not needed unless they got full. Lisa smirked and raised an eyebrow when both girls reached for the bottle of Tabasco they set out everynight. Sally backed down and let Lauren, the older and stronger one of the twins have first dibs. When Lauren was done she kindly passed it to herself.
But tonight was different, something seemed out of place in the grand scale of things and it threw the girls off their routine. Sally didn't back down when she reached for the bottle tonight and slapped Lauren's hand away. Lisa and Andrew were instantly worried because this had never happened before. When Lauren began rocking back and forth they got frightened
"Andy what are we going to do?" whispered Lisa in fear, Sally began to rock until she saw her sister was in the same state. She turned in her seat and raised both hands. Lauren copied her and the twins pressed their hands together. Energy surged and all the lights went out, the only light in the room was coming from the bright greenish glow coming from their hands. They were talking fast, so fast they couldn't even make out the language.
Lisa went to touch her daughter's but Andy held her back. This wasn't the first time this had happened, he had so casually forgot to mention it to his wife after his daughters begged him not to tell. When the glowing stopped the ligths came back on. He turned to them silently and asked,
"What did you see?"
"She's coming for us" began Lauren
"She brings our brothers and sisters from the bird of fire" added Sally
"She wishes to protect and teach us"
"But we shall teach her" they said and Lisa looked to Andy for an explanation.
"What was with that?" she demanded
"Mom do you love us?" asked Lauren and she gasped
"Of course I do! You're my babies!"
"We'll when we got healed in that hospital we were changed. We became like the angel"
"The Christmas Angel?" asked Lisa in surprise "You're like Angels now?"
"In a way yes, we're different and we feared you wouldn't love us anymore. Dad saw us see the future and we begged him not to tell you"
"Oh, come here!" she said holding out her arms. They paused and looked to their father.
"We will always love you" they said in unison before moving to their mother and holding her tight. They threw up a shield and it encased the three of them. Lisa was a little afraid by what she had seen her children do but when they put a shield around her and not included her husband she worried. Andrew jerked and then fell down, floods of FBI Agents dressed in SWAT uniform burst into the place and aimed guns at the three surviving people. They began shooting at the shield but it did no good, Lauren and Sally joined hands inside the dome shield and their energy crackled through the house. They drew it in from around them and let the dome burst out, destroying everything in it's wake. The house was destroy and only the three people stood there where it had been. Lisa was too dazed to understand.
***
Tonight was a night of painful loss for many of the children and their families. No one could make it better, but as Ella Hughes drove along next to Brody Davis with the two sleeping children in the back she sensed Lauren crying out to her. One voice that sounded like two echoed through her and she knew that she was again to late. The FBI had caught up with the Grants and through her connection she could tell that a parent had been killed.
"I'm on my way. I'm coming" she said alloud causing Brody to look at her with interest.

His footsteps rang out through the hall as he walked briskly towards the main medical centre, several other agents walked behind him and he couldn’t help the grin on his face. After going over every movement those Run Away Aliens did he tracked down five children, two boys and three girls, but one of the girls was a twin. She had gone on to change her sister into an alien. He had sent teams out to bring in the children and dispose of anyone who would object to that. He’d succeeded on all but three, that Corey kid got away as did Sydney Davis and her father and finally the twins and their mother. He had a feeling that they were being helped by one of the Six Aliens who fled Roswell five years ago.
He reached the centre and saw that little receptionist sitting there on the phone. She smiled when she saw him, she stood up and handed him today’s details
“Morning Agent Thomas” she smiled trying to hide the blush that crept over her pale features
“Morning Rosie. I’ll see you later okay?” he asked and she nodded in excited silence. He continued walking until he reached the secure door and he pressed his hand to the pad. It identified him and he hurried inside eager to see the children that had been brought in. They had been placed in the glass containment unit so they could see each other; Thomas went into the observation room and saw them. The boy was huddled in a corner and the girls were huddled right next to him
“They’ve been like that since we brought them in sir. They’re frightened obviously but they recognise each other, even after all this time”
“Good. I want basic samples from them and we’ll continue with the observation”
“Yes sir” he replied and disappeared out the room to tell someone the orders and made sure it was carried through. Agent Thomas just leaned closer staring at the three children within
“You freaks are going to pay for what you did to my brother,” he whispered menacingly.
***
Dylan didn’t know exactly where he was but he was absolutely terrified of this place, it had haunted his worst nightmares and now that he was here… He had been the first to be brought in; they had grabbed him from school and brought him here. He was thrown into a large room with a glass cross partition. He scurried round trying to find a way out, he avoided the large tinted window because he knew they were watching. He stuck a finger up at them and huddled down in a corner.
He perked up when he sensed someone, someone like him; it was one of the girls. He looked round trying to see where she was coming from until one of the doctors carried in an unconscious eleven year old girl. She was put in the room next to his and he scooted across and banged on the glass.
“Hey” he said “Hey! Wake up! Isobel! Wake Up!” he stayed hands pressed against the glass until she began to stir. She rolled over and slowly sat herself up. She looked around dazed until her eyes landed on Dylan and then it all came flooding home for her
“Oh no” she whispered as she crawled closer to the partition and they pressed themselves against the glass wall trying to remain together.
“Isobel it’s going to be okay. It’ll be okay I promise you,” he whispered
“I’m scared. I want to go home” she replied as tears filled her eyes
“Don’t worry Isobel. Our Angel will come and save us again, he’ll save us because we’re special, you’ll see,” he said and she nodded. They fell asleep like that and woke up when there was a loud banging noise; they both turned and saw Sophie sitting in the third room. They all moved to the corners and stayed like that. Dylan kept whispering to them, promising that their angel would come for them but as the hours passed that hope seemed to fade, even to him, so they just sat in quiet silence. Thankful that they were together and not alone in all of this.
***
As the jeep pulled up everyone climbed out. Syd and Corey looked around taking in the damage that had happened to the house. Ella closed her eyes and tried to sense them out. They were close by, she could feel them, and they were the strongest out of all the healed children.
“Ella” whispered Corey and she turned around to see him standing there. He looked so lost
“Yeah. Come on they’re not far away,” she said as she took his hand and pulled him back to the jeep. They climbed in and headed back out of the Californian Suburbs and toward the City of Angels.
***
Sally, Lauren and Lisa all hurried down the street as fast as they could until the twins stopped and Lisa almost crashed into her daughters. She was running high on fear, adrenaline and a mother’s maternal instinct
“Don’t stop they might be right behind us” said Lisa trying to get her children to hurry up moving again
“But she’s here. She’s come; we have to wait for her. She’s here to help and protect us,” said Lauren and Sally nodded
“Yes we have to wait for her. She’s strong, stronger than us and she’s going to help us,” explained Sally and the two girls linked hands and planted themselves down outside a shop window. Lisa couldn’t understand how they could sit there and just be so calm about this all.
Five minutes later a car came down the road, it was a green army jeep, and Lisa’s heart rose to her throat. She prepared herself to fight against them, they had killed her husband there was no chance in hell they would get her daughter’s! It pulled to a stop and the twins got up moving around her. A young red-headed girl climbed out and smiled at them, she knelt down and hugged them both
“I’m sorry I was late”
“It’s okay. Our brother needed you,” said Sally glancing at Corey sitting in the back seat. As soon as Syd and Corey saw them they jumped out and they all hugged
“You must be… their mother Lisa? Am I right?” asked the young girl
“Who are you?” hissed Lisa menacingly
“My name is Ella Hughes. Corey and Syd here are like your daughters… they were healed too. We can’t stay here, it isn’t exactly safe”
“How do I know you’re not just some monster trying to take away my children!” she asked fiercely. Ella lifted her hand and it glowed softly
“Please, it would be better if we got some place secure” she said and she ushered Lisa to the front where Brody sat. She huddled up sliding in next to him as the twins, Syd and Corey all climbed in the back. Ella slid into the driver’s seat and pulled away to head to the nearest motel.
She pulled up outside and opened the glove box and took out a large package of paper and pulled some out before putting it back. She waved her hand and she had enough money to buy out the entire motel!
“I’m getting three rooms. Lisa and your daughters can have one, Brody and Syd can take the last and Corey you’re with me” she said. Lisa glanced over the lost young boy in the back; a great sadness was on his face. He had obviously lost the most today. She went in and paid for them and came back out with three keys before driving round to the rooms
“Wait here. I have to make them secure first” she said as she disappeared into the first room. Ella searched the room for cameras, and when she didn’t find any she thickened the door and changed the window into thick unbreakable glass. She unhooked the phone and then went outside and ushered Lisa and the twins into that room. She repeated it with Syd and Brody’s room and left them in peace. Corey sat in the back seat still; he had no clue what to do now. His parents had been killed and he was on his own. She held the door open for him and he went inside. She locked the jeep up and joined him.
Corey sat emptily on the bed, he felt tears well up in his eyes as he re-lived his last moment before his mom was killed before his own eyes. He felt salty tears stinging his cheeks, he looked up as Ella returned her form to Liz and she stood there tearful too, his face crumpled up and she held out her arms for him
“After… after all this you can come and live with me and Max. Max is the one who healed you all those years ago in the hospital” she explained “You can stay with us if you want” he pulled back and wiped his nose with his sleeve
“I’d like that. Thank you” he whispered and she gave him a warm smile. She stood up and moved to the second bed and laid down
“I’m going to contact the others. I have to check in with them every once in a while, to make sure I’m okay. I know Max is probably freaking out that I just up and disappeared for the past week,” she said and he nodded
“Can I come with you? I… I want to see-I just…”
“Sure you can. Here give me your hand,” she said. He moved over to the bed and she joined hands with him and they fell asleep and began to dream.
It was a very dusty desert, near a large lake. They walked up holding hands to a young woman standing there; she was wearing a pink shirt and blue jeans with her hair piled up in a blonde ponytail
“Isabel” Liz called out and the girl turned
“Liz! Oh it’s so good to see you! Max is worried out of his mind!” she snapped
“I know. I can sense him after all; I had some things to do though. People needed me more than he did at that time,” she said looking down to Corey
“Whose he?” she asked
“His name is Corey and he was one of the children Max healed in Phoenix. The FBI came after him, I got a vision that they would and I was too late to save his parents. Agents have come after all of them; I managed to save Brody and Sydney and another girl and her sister and mom. I think I’m too late to help the others, I think the FBI have them and we’re going to need your help in getting them out”
“You mean they’re in… the White Room? Oh God we have to help them! They’re only babies still!” she cried
“Isabel I need you to contact everyone and tell them to meet up at the Safe City. We’ll be on our way soon, we’re in Los Angeles at the moment”
“Oh, Maria and Michael live out there. You can meet up with them,” said Isabel “I’ll try and call them into the dream plane” she said and closed her eyes. Two minutes later Michael and Maria appeared out of nowhere
“Isabel? Liz!” cried Maria. She hadn’t seen her friend in three years and was surprised to have been called here “Oh how are you Chica?”
“I’m good. I’m good. Look it’s time to meet at the Safe City. We’re in Los Angeles at the moment, at the Travel lodge at the edge of the city near Sam’s Delhi”
“Really? Sam’s Delhi?” Maria smirked she turned to Michael “Can you believe that Steve?”
“Yeah it’s amazing Samantha” he said
“You mean you… oh you! Look seriously now, some of the kids that Max healed in Phoenix have ended up in the white room. The FBI came after them and killed their parents and took them. We have to rescue them, it’s the least we can do after putting them into this mess” she said and Michael nodded
“Okay what do you need us to do?” he asked and she smiled thankfully at him.

The pink and purple haired hippy woman walked out carrying several bags of stuff that Ella had said she needed. She reached the motel and knocked three times, then one, then three again on door seven. The door opened slowly and she was met with blue eyes
"Yeah?" she said with a tone that suggested annoyance and irritation
"Looking for my Czechoslovakian Chica" she announced and the door flung open and Ella pulled Dawn into a bear hug before quickly pulling her inside, slamming the door shut and locking it alien style.
"Oh Maria it's so good to see you" she said and Maria nodded "You've changed so much. I love your hair"
"Yeah, Michael got really pissed off when I dyed it. But I had to do something to hide and you know how he is with his powers"
"Yeah" nodded Liz "Is Michael coming over soon?"
"Yes he's just doing a little closing down party at the shop. He'll be here when he's done"
"I want you to meet Corey. He was one of the children Max healed in Phoenix. Maria, once we meet up with the others I'm going to leave the children and their parents with you and Isabel. The rest of us are going in to get the kids out"
"Wait? Why you?" demanded Maria
"Because I've been working with Agent Thomas for the last two years"
"WHAT!" she cried in disbelief "How did you get that past Max?"
"Max went... one morning I woke up and he was gone. He went to find Zan Maria. He's doing his thing and I'm doing mine and we'll meet up again when we're ready. I knew that this was something he had to do"
"You really are in love with him Chica. Okay, but I won't be able to protect them"
"They can protect themselves well enough. The Twins demolished a house on their own! Corey has Her power, that's how he got away"
"You mean..."
"Yes I do. We have to keep an eye on him, make sure he doesn't over do it. I can't believe that..."
"Shush!" cried Maria "I doubt he could help what powers he had. It was either that or death so I don't care if he has that bitches powers!"
"Maria" smiled Liz.
***
Dylan, Sophie and Isobel had been put in one room all together. They had met Agent Thomas and we terrified of the man. When they looked at him they saw the devil that haunted their nightmares. The three eleven year olds were cuddled together in one corner rocking back and forth trying to summon the powers their Angel gave them when they were sick.
Agent Thomas was watching them move and he looked to the doctor beside him
"What are they doing?"
"They're trying to use their powers. I gave them the inhibitor like you said" he replied, I just hope it's strong enough, he thought. The formula for the inhibitor was created in the nineteen forties. It worked on Max Evans but he wasn't sure if it was still effective. Thomas just nodded and stared harder at the three children.
"Can you reach the energy?" asked Isobel "I can see it. It's right behind my eyes" she said. Dylan and Sophie grabbed her hands and they began to pool their energy together. Their rocking intensified and the three began to glow softly but becoming brighter with the second.
"You fool!" shouted Thomas as he shoved the doctor against the wall. He pulled out his gun and shot him in the shoulder before hurrying out into the hall.
***
Syd had been in the bathroom fixing her bed head when three voices rang out to her. She jumped when she looked back into the mirror and saw her other brothers and sisters standing behind her. She turned round expecting to see them but there was nothing. She looked back to the mirror and saw them there
"Syd! Sydney! Please! Help us!" they cried
"Don't worry. We're coming to help you, we'll get you out. I'll get Corey and my sisters and we'll come for you!" she said hurriedly. She moved to the window and climbed out and moved along toward the next room. She pressed a hand to the window and focussed on Lauren and Sally.
They came out a few minutes later, climbing out the same way Syd did, and then they moved on to get Corey. They couldn't wait, they had to rescue them themselves!

***
Michael paced around the room, which did nothing to help Lisa or Brody who were sitting together on the bed. After they had found out the children had run off they had all come together and concluded that they had gone after them. Liz was telling them everything, about her two years working for Agent Thomas, Michael was furious that she had placed herself in that danger
"Relax Michael! He never knew who I was, I've covered my tracks so much I'm beginning to think I really am Ella Hughes!"
"Max would kill me! I'm supposed to protect you!" he snapped "I should have known! You should have told us!"
"Why? To have this? Now is not the time Michael, we have to help the others before they caught captured or worse"
"Liz is right" said Maria "We can be angry later, right now we have to go help the kids"
"Liz..." sighed Michael rubbing the back of his neck "What's the plan?" she grinned as he relented.
***
The four walked up to the fence and Lauren made a small hole just big enough for them to go through Sally went first then Lauren who was holding her hand then Corey and Syd, they were holding hands too. They stopped near a truck and peered through the glass at the old factory turned base
“I can feel them,” said Corey “They’re so scared” Syd nodded in agreement
“I know, that’s why we couldn’t wait for the grown ups to do something. They just stand around talking,” she explained distastefully
“But there’s more of them now. More people like Ella; they’re coming to help them” he informed them then whispered, “He might even come” there were murmurs of delight over that. Sally had been watching the guards, she had timed it so when he turned around they were creep over to a man hole at the edge of a building.
"Um I'll go first" said Corey nervously stepping up, but Syd held up her hand smiling
"I'll go first" she corrected him. She leaned against it and swung her legs over and descended the ladder.
***
Ella Hughes walked into the building and pulled out her security pass, she flashed it to Bernie at the desk who nodded and she continued to the left corridor and opened a white door. On the other side of the door was a metal bolted door with a control pad in the centre. She keyed in the number then pressed her hand to the pad before it turned green and clicked open. She smirked and tossed her red hair back before descending the stairs.
When she reached the bottom she was almost knocked off her feet when a wave of bluish white energy hit her. She had a feeling it was to do with the other children. Had Thomas captured the others? Where were they?
She saw Agent Daniels walking along nervously
"Agent Hughes, I thought you were on vacation?" he asked her, she stopped and turned to him
"I was dealing with a family emergency. My sister's husband was hit by a bus" she said nodding
"Oh, well um I hope he's okay" he said nervously, Thomas had demanded him to do something
"No he's dead. Look Thomas is going to have my ass if I'm not on time. You know how he is" she said and he nodded.
She walked onward ignoring anyone who offered to greet her, she was on a mission as she wasn't going to be late.
She reached the Medical Control Centre and knocked on the Obs Room door, Thomas himself opened it and smirked lustily
"Ella"
"James" she replied nodding her head "Can we keep this professional"
"I thought you had a family emergency?" he raised a brow knowing all too well why she was here
"I heard you'd got hold of something interesting. Family is good and all but I got tired of my dull sister sobbing into my shoulder"
"Ah a woman after my own heart!"
"Can I see them?" she asked and he nodded stepping aside to let her in. She gasped when she saw them sitting there, rocking and producing their own light
"They've been sending out pulse energies for the past hour, nothing has been able to make them stop. They truly are alien, but every test we've performed states that they're human. Even their blood samples!"
"You're referring to your brother's alien?" she asked glancing at him briefly. He didn't move
"Daniel knew there were aliens in Roswell. He knew and he even brought one in! Things went bad, that stupid Sheriff meddling in things he didn't understand!"
"James... now is not the time to show anger over possible vendattas. If any one saw your behaviour then they would report to Agent Graham and he would assign someone else. We both know too well that you haven't mad a lot of friends round here"
"You know me too well Ella" he said. The pulsing light stopped and both of them looked through the window at the three in there. They were staring intently at the glass
"Can they see us?" she asked slightly in fear
"No, this glass is tinted. They shouldn't be able to"
"But they're looking this way" she cried, she was worried if they gave her away.
"Maybe they want to meet us?" he sneered coldly at them, she did all she could not to shiver at his words
"Okay. I'd like that" she said like she would be meeting her soon-to-be mother in law
"Come on," he said and opened the door still stained with blood. She glanced at it with worry "Oh that, one of the doctors didn't do as he was told. I had to fire him" he explained. That didn't make her feel any better. He led her into a air lock and they were sprayed clean before moving into the glass room. The three of them jumped up and hurried to the glass where she was. She knew they could sense her, she sent calm and hopeful feelings through to them and words appeared in her head
'our sisters and Corey are coming' 'you've come to help us' 'you're going to hurt the bad man' 'like he hurt us'. She almost lost it there but instead she held her ground. He walked ahead of her and opened the door like an excited child at Christmas. The three eleven year olds made a dash for the door but he shoved them back Dylan landed on his arm with a sickening crack Liz couldn't take anymore!
"Okay James that's enough" said Liz pulling out the gun from her holster
"Ella?" he turned and saw her with her gun raised at him "Oh don't tell me you're one of those Alien Worshippers"
"Got it in one James. Sorry" she said "Kids get behind me and we'll get out of here"
"You know you won't be able to get out of here alive do you?" he sneered
"Leave that with me" she said as she backed out. As soon as the kids where out of the room she shot him in the legs and then tucked her gun back away.
She turned to the kids, pausing to explain how they would get out there
"Now listen up. I'm going to get us out of here but you have to lead me along. I'm going to have my eyes closed okay and what ever you do don't make a noise okay?"
"Sure" they nodded. She walked along with them and as soon as she saw someone she warped them. She got them to the Mains Generator Room and then they saw Corey, Sally, Lauren and Syd coming toward them.
"Let's get out of here" said Liz "You shouldn't have come but I guess it's good to have you all together. Michael, Maria, Brody and Lisa should be waiting for you near the fence" she said. They headed through quickly to the ladder. They had made it out, but Liz couldn't help think this was too easy.

Title: Cambie Las Vidas
Author: SpiderGirl
Rating: I'm going to start of with PG onwards.
Couple: CC All + Syd/Corey
Disclaimer: Don't have any claim to Roswell whatsoever. Sure as hell don't own it.
Summary: It's been five years since the kids of Phoenix have been healed. They mysteriously get a call from someone out to protect them.
***
She opened the door and ushered the kids inside to their waiting parents and Michael and Maria
"We're gonna have to get the hell out of here. They're gonna be looking for the kids and the first place they're gonna look is my place" said Ella. She shut the door and waved a hand through her red hair turning it blonde in seconds.
"Where are we going to go?" asked Maria
"To Kyle and Isabel" said Liz. She pulled her gun from her holster and put the safety on "I almost killed him. The FBI agent here is Pierce's brother" she confessed and Michael saw red
"What? Oh my god! Why didn't you come to us with this? Do you know what he would have done to you if he found out?"
"I know Michael. I saw what they did to Max, I felt everything that night in the van" she replied "You have no idea how hard it was for me to just go there every day and pretend things were normal, that his brother almost killed my husband" she said as she slipped the gun back away.
"Do you still have Betsy?" she asked with a small smile and Maria nodded
"Couldn't get rid of her even if we wanted to!" she said
"Good then let's get out of here. You just make sure all their stuff is in the van and I'll do the clean through" she said and they began to move out.
Liz stood there for a moment before pulling out her FBI Badge that she had got while forging her way into the bureau. She held it in her hands and it turned to ash
"Goodbye Ella Hughes" she whispered sadly.
***
It was cramped to say the least. Lauren, Sally, Lisa, Dylan, Isobel and Sophie road in the back of the van with Michael and Maria whilst Liz, Brody, Corey and Syd took the jeep which was conveniently changed to a people carrier.
"How you holding up?" asked Maria looking over at Michael
"I'm not sure. I'm going to miss the shop" he replied "Miss the life we were making for ourselves" he replied bringing her hand up and kissing her palm before putting his hand on her stomach "But as long as I have you two I'll be okay" he smiled and she nodded
"You've grown up a lot since we left Roswell" she said
"We all have. Because we had to, I just don't see the purpose of getting on anyone's case when they're trying to be helpful. If I don't like that person and I get on his case by accident then it's all good" he joked and she chuckled "No but we can't really draw attention to ourselves. We'll end up in the White Room" he whispered looking back over his shoulder at the people all curled up asleep. Lisa had an arm thrown protectively over her two girls and Dylan was holding Sophie and Isobel close instinctively.
"Those three don't have anywhere to go" said Maria sadly "I think Ella, before she disappeared, mentioned something about their parents being killed" she said and Michael shook his head smiling
"You want to take them in don't you" he stated and she paused
"They're going to need someone. Because Max saved them they're different, they won't have the life they should have"
"He couldn't just let them die could he?" replied Michael his hackles rising
"No. No he couldn't and he didn't. It's great seeing Syd again though" she said and Michael grew worried
"You're not still- umm... do you still like... Brody?" he asked and she chuckled
"I married you Michael. You're my family! I was never really into Brody the way he was with me, besides I'm having your baby! You're stuck with my Guerin" she said and he sighed with relief
"I'm sorry I asked" he apologised and she shook her head
"Don't be. I know that abandenment is one of your fears and now that we're together it's okay to have doubts. Just not the doubts about how much you love me"
"There's no doubting that babe" he said giving her a quick kiss before putting his eyes back on the road.
***
She sat in silence before Brody cleared his throat and she glanced briefly at him before looking back at the road
"So where are we going?" he asked
"We're going to Kyle and Isabel. It should be about ten miles more, I can't believe we've driven half the night!" she said as the sun began to peek up over the cold mountain tops she saw before her
"They own a large hotel about one fourth up the mountain. It's always covered in snow, so they tell me" she said "We'll be able to hide out there for the winter. They should have enough supplies and after that you can either stay there and live or go out back on the road and make a new life for yourself. New life, new name... all that" she said
"Um I think we'd stay. I don't want to take the chance of loosing Syd" he looked at the two sleeping eleven years in the back "She's all I've got"
"Welcome to the family Brody. You've just earned your 'I-Know-An-Alien-Club' Card" she said joking
"I have a feeling that card is very heavy and a really sad thing to have" he said
"You have no idea. You'll find out though, we can't ever have normal lives and you just have to make do with what ever that card gives you"
"What did it give you?" he asked her
"A husband obsessed with finding his child born by an evil murderess alien going by the name of Tess. She also killed my best friend, ruined my life and we wouldn't all be here if it weren't for her" she said
"Tess? Tess Harding? I always wondered what happened to her" he said and Liz glared at him "Sorry. So where is she?"
"She's dead?"
"You kill her?" he asked raising a brow
"No, despite everything she did to me I know I never want to be like her. She killed herself to protect her son" she stated and he nodded
"Would you tell me the story of how it all began?"
"I don't know if the last ten miles is long enough for this kind of story" she confessed with a knowing smile. He shrugged "Okay... the story goes that some local waitress was shot in an argument that got out of hand...."
