Everyday I convince myself
Of everything I can and can't believe
Abused, Confused
Everyday you see your every crime
Just stared up at the sky, you wounder why
Afraid, deranged

Hold to your promise, you can use it for a crutch
Stand by, while all your dreams get trampled in the dust
Leave now, before your slick machine begins to rust
Last chance, farewell
Among us

Everyday you get a little bit older
And everything gets harder you wounder why?
Afraid, deranged

Everyday you see your every crime
An endless shocking show on the parade
Abused, confused

Hold to your promise, you can use it for a crutch
Stand by, while all your dreams get trampled in the dust
Leave now, before your slick machine begins to rust
Last chance, farewell
Among us

Everyday I convince myself
Of everything I can and can't believe
Afraid, deranged

Hold to your promise, you can use it for a crutch
Stand by, while all your dreams get trampled in the dust
Leave now, before your slick machines begins to rust
Last chance, farewell
Among us

Where are the aliens?
We're the aliens

Liz walked quickly through the school holding her books tight against her chest, her thick brown hair covered her face from everyone around her. She had lived her whole life on an unnamed little stretch of land just off the mainland of Oregon. She had been adopted by the Parkers but when they found out what she was they sent her to Roswell. A small private school called West Roswell, she lived with her Grandparents. Her grandfather couldn't tolerate her while her Grandma thought the world of her. Most of the kids at West Roswell knew who... what she was... and avoided her like the plague.
She had almost reached the exit when someone stepped in front of her, she felt fear shoot up her spine. She had gone all day without someone picking on her, it was the last day of school for the week and she could relax and hide out in the UFO Center researching for clues about her past.
"Well if it isn't little freaky Lizzie" sneered Daryll Ramirez. Daryll Ramirez was the bigger brother of Isabel Amelia Ramirez the Elle McPherson of West Roswell
"Can I just... I would like to get passed Daryll. I haven't done anything wrong today" she whispered not making eye contact. He grabbed her by the hair
"You did do something wrong today freak! You got in my way!" he shouted and threw her to the left. She collided headfirst with the lockers and whimpered as she slid to the floor. Blood ran down her forehead over her eyes and down her cheeks. Daryll and his lackeys snatched her heavy books and began throwing them at her over and over
"Hey!" someone shouted from the other end of the corridor "What are you doing!" fearing that it was a teacher the three boys took off leaving Liz alone on the floor.
Max rushed over and knelt down in front of the girl barely conscious, he pushed her hair behind her ear and he saw the damage of what they had done
"God" he gasped trying to keep from being sick "It's okay. Don't worry you'll be okay" he said. The bell rang and he panicked, soon people would be getting out of class. He couldn't let them see him use his powers! He gathered her light form up in his arms, her hand curled around his shirt as he carried her to an empty class room. He shut the door and pulled the blind down. He put her on the front desk and put his hand carefully over her head. Her eyes fluttered open as his hand began to glow, she gasped as she could feel him physically heal her. She slumped back and he caught her, she looked up into his eyes and touched his face
"You're like me too" she whispered before passing out. Max got a proper look at the girl before him and saw how beautiful she was. He put his jacket around her and carried her out to his car. He had started at West Roswell just today, he never expected his parents to react like that when he revealed his secret to them. He knew that he was different, hell they had found him walking along the beach in Oregon totally naked and covered in a strange jello substance. They had sent him away, to a school for Gifted Children, some of the children had personality problems, others fought for popularity. He never thought he'd find another creature like him here. He slid her into the passenger seat of his car and drove around for a bit then headed to the CrashDown run by Pete and Claudia Parker.
"Ugh... where am I?" she slurred then looked around. She moved fast to get out and crashed into the car door
"Hey, hey calm down!" he said
"Please! Did Daryll ask you to do this? I'm sorry, please just let me..." he grabbed her hand and made it glow "Go" she sighed
"It's okay" he whispered
"You're..." then a smile ghosted over her face. She opened the car door then hurried round to his side "Come with me. Come!" she said pulling him from his jeep. He slammed the door and let her lead him across the road to the UFO Center. They went down the stairs where Milton was working
"Livana!" he smiled "What do I owe this pleasant... is that blood? Dear Lord child what happened? Did he hurt you?"
"No Milton, he saved me. It's time to get the book out" she said "Get the book"
"It's time? You mean..." he pointed to Max who was confused beyond belief. Milton hurried away up some stairs to the office and came back with a sheet metal ring bound book
"What's this?"
"I haven't looked at it since I was a little girl. That's me" she pointed to one of the faces on the last page. When I turned sixteen Milton showed me the book and my face just appeared right there" she said. He looked at it hard then opposite Liz's picture his came into focus
"Good Lord! He's an Antarian too" laughed Milton then hugged Max. Liz hugged him too
"I'm not alone anymore" she whispered

"Where do you think we come from?" asked Liz and Max smirked
"We come from Mars" he said jokingly. She shoved his shoulder and he chuckled "We come from Mars and we've come to take over Earth"
"Be serious Max" she said shaking her head
"I am. Maybe not about the Mars part but... look around you Liz. We're in Roswell"
"I know. Max I know I'm... not human I just wish I knew where I came from. Does anyone miss me? Are we... related?" she asked and he nodded
"I still can't believe I found someone like me" he whispered "I've never really believed that I was... alien till I told my parents" he confessed as he sat down next to her
"We have each other now. That's all that matters," she patted his hand "We'll find the others. Milton's smart"
"How can you trust that guy?"
"That guy is the only one who believes in me and is willing to protect me"
"I'll protect you Liz" he said softly, she nearly didn't hear him. Liz stood up and walked over to her telescope
"I look up at the stars through this thing trying to find some kind of life, so I wasn't the only one. Did you ever feel so alone before this week?"
"Yes"

***

Liz raced through the halls as fast as she could. Max held her hand tight in his
"We're almost there! We're almost there!" he cried over his shoulder. Then there was a bang and he disappeared and she was running alone
"Zan? ZAN!" she cried as she turned a corner and ran into Isabel Ramirez
"Vilandra! Help me! They have Zan!" she begged her. The walls melted into strange looking colours then Isabel pulled out a small dagger
"I'm sorry. He said he would kill you, this way is better" she whispered
"Vilandra! No! Come on we can... ugh" she stopped begging and lurched forward
"I won't ever let him hurt you" she said as tears streamed down her face.

"NAAAAAOOOOO!" Liz jerked awake screaming, her hand instinctively went to her stomach as her grandmother Claudia came rushing in.
"Honey Bear? What is it what's wrong?" she asked seeing her grandaughter in a terrible sweat "Liz! Talk to me!"
"What? Huh? What happened?" she looked around
"You had a nightmare Honey Bear. It's okay now" she said as she pulled Liz into a hug. Liz pulled her hand back and brought it close to her face to see it was stained with red
"Grandma Claudia" she cried, Claudia pulled back and saw the blood stain growing over the nightshirt
"Oh God!" she cried grabbed something to stop the bleeding, Liz slumped back as Claudia began screaming to her husband Pete.

***

Claudia sat in the waiting room when two men suddenly came rushing up, she was still wearing her blood stained dressing gown. The elder man stopped a young intern
"Excuse me but where is Liz Parker?" he asked
"Um I'll find out. Who are you?"
"I'm... her uncle" he lied. Claudia watched the intern walk off to find out then stood up
"Who are you" she demanded "And what do you want?"
"Liz can't stay here Mrs Parker" said Max suddenly speaking up "She's different"
"I know that. That's why she lives with me" she replied still not letting them in
"Liz... Liz is an alien and if they find out through her blood then they'll take her away. We have to get her out of here"
"No" she said clearly "Liz isn't an alien she's just gifted. The doctors here are the only thing keeping her alive"
"I... I'm like her. Please, I can help her" he begged her but she shook her head
"No! You're not going anywhere near her" she replied. Milton grabbed hold of Claudia and held her back while Max snuck into the room and sat down next to her.
"Hold on Liz" he whispered as he turned down the blanket.
Milton was barely able to hold onto Claudia when Isabel came striding up in her pyjamas and a jacket
"Is she here?" she asked "This is all my fault! Is she here!"
"Who are you?" asked Milton. Claudia stamped on his foot and rushed to the door throwing it open to see Max standing over her with his hands glowing. Milton shoved them all inside and shut the door behind them
"What is he doing to her?"
"Healing her" Milton said quietly "It's what he does" Max sighed and slumped back in the chair
"I can't heal her all the way. Something's wrong"
"You can't heal a mind, you only heal a body" she whispered moving towards Liz then put her hands on either side of Liz's head "I caused to the damage so I should fix it" within seconds Liz was jerking awake. She looked back and forth at them
"You... you're family. Brother and sister" she said "Isabel is the third. She is the... the dreamer Vilandra" Max and Isabel shared a glance. They were brother and sister?
"We have to get Liz out of here now" said Milton "Before they run her blood and the FBI turn up. It's not pretty what they do to aliens" he said as he helped Liz out of bed and gathered up her things. Claudia just thoughtlessly helped him unsure of what was going on.

The three of them sat together in the UFO centre back room staring at each other
"I can't believe my parents never told me I was adopted" whispered Isabel. Max reached out and patted her hand, Liz was still wearing because this was Daryll Ramirez's little sister. Combine that with powers and it was enough to make anyone nervous. Liz stood up and got the book out. Milton was sat in the corner watching the three, he had no idea that the third had been under his nose this entire time!
"Max is the healer, Isabel the dreamer. I'm the seer and the fourth..." she looked down to the still blurry image on the back page of the book "The fourth could be my brother or sister" she said
"It's a boy" said Isabel "The fourth's a boy. I'm sure, I don't know how I know I just..."
"Know" Max finished for her and Liz nodded
"God this is so weird" she said rubbing a hand through her hair Isabel nodded
"So we're... aliens right? God it is weird, suddenly I feel like I'm on my own" she said as some of her real self showed through. Liz risked her chances and put her hand over Isabel's
"We are alone here on Earth but we're alone together" she said and Isabel smiled then did the unexpected. She reached out and pulled Liz into a hug
"Okay Chickies you'll be late for school" said Milton, Milton to Liz had become a very important father figure in her life, a figure that she sworely lacked
"We can take the jeep" Max offered
"Bye" Isabel waved at Milton he nodded at her offering her a big smile, Liz hugged Milton goodbye
"I'll see you after school" she said before joining the two others.
The ride to school was quiet when they pulled up in the parking lot it was still early and students were milling around, they all sat together in the jeep just content on being with each other
"What do we do?" asked Isabel "Everything's changed, I have a brother and... you're the closest thing I have to family now" she said and Liz nodded
"I've been waiting for the both of you for such a long time now, I'm just glad that you're here"
"I've always known that there was something, that's why I tried so hard to fit in" explained Isabel they could hear the bell ringing and all three climbed out "I have you two now so I don't have to try so hard to be someone I don't want to be. I have friends now, people like me I can belong with" she said. Liz pulled her into a hug
"We'll always be here for you" she said
"Liz I'm sorry about what I did in that dream..." she began
"Don't be, any dream or vision that we have could lead us to find out who were are, whether it be good or bad. So don't even be sorry for that"
"But you almost died"
"No Izzy, I don't think that you'd let either of us die" Max said then the three of them walked off.
Daryll and his lackeys were watching him, most of his friends came from the trailer parks. These two freaks were messing around with his sister, he would have to make him pay. Michael stood next to Daryll, his best and only friend, and watched the three walk off. There was something about them that he had never sensed before, he watched as Liz straggled behind a bit, she glanced over her shoulder directly at him and he stiffled a gasp. Something was off with them, maybe they were the enemy coming to take him away and hurt him? He couldn't let them win, he'd die before he trusted any of them.

"It all started with Parker" said Daryll "I think it's about time we finished that little alien freak off" his cold words went straight through Michael but he couldn't deny that these people were the enemy to him, he would save himself the trouble if he got rid of them now "Michael, do you think you can walk Parker home in a few minutes when the bell rings?"
"Sure" he replied, she seemed to be in charge if he got her then the others would flounder and become easy targets. He watched the clock and began to pack his things away into his ratty old backpack, he fastened it just as the bell rang got up quickly and walked out to wait for Parker to come out.

***

"Are you sure you don't want a ride? I'm taking Isabel home" said Max but she smiled
"No Max, I have to walk home tonight. I'll have some good news for you both tomorrow" she said then walked away from the jeep. Max sighed and started the car
"You should just as her out you know" said Isabel and he turned to look at her surprised that she would say something like that
"What... I... but I... it's not like that... she..."
"She likes you, I can tell. You should ask her out"
"Okay" he smiled "Thanks Izzy"
"Isabel get out that jeep" they turned to see Daryll standing there
"Excuse me?" she snapped
"I said get out the car. You're coming home with me"
"Err no I'm not. Max is taking me home, don't you order me around" she replied coldly. He grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the jeep
"Hey let go of her!" shouted Max jumping out of the jeep to chase after his sister
"Daryll let go of me now!" hissed Isabel "Ow! You're hurting me!" she tried to tug her arm away from him but it was no good
"I said let go of her!" Max yelled pulling Daryll's hand off Isabel
"Oh big mistake freak" he said then swung a punch at Max's head, he ducked and charged at Daryll's middle knocking him down
"Both of you stop it!" cried Isabel she looked round and saw a crowd gathering around them
"Daryll! Get off my brother!" she pulled him off and shoved him back then went to help Max up
"Isabel? What are you talking about? He's not your brother"
"I found out that I'm adopted. Max is my brother! You're not! How dare you hurt him!" she hissed as she looked over Max's bruised face "I'm taking you to Milton" she said helping Max over to the jeep. The crowd had enough gossip to talk the school down, the school would be buzzing tomorrow.

***

Liz reached her door and paused with the key in the lock. This was how it was meant to be. Don't move she told herself... keep still and wait. Michael came out of the shadows and pulled her stiff form away from the door towards his step-dad's ratty old pick up truck. He carefully arranged her on the seat then shut the door, he climbed into the passenger seat and drove out of the alley. He watched the people around him froze on the street still stuck in his time meld then with a jerk they all began to move again, he glanced at Liz leaning back on the other side of the cab not a shred of fear in her eyes
"You're not going to ask why you're here? How you got here? Where I'm taking you?"
"I know where you're taking me Michael. And I'm not afraid of you... I saw this and I don't have to fear you"
"What do you mean you saw this?"
"I'm the seer Michael. Max the healer and Isabel the dreamer... I know now that you're the time keeper" she explained and he stared at her strangely
"Who are you?"
"I'm your sister Michael" she whispered reaching out to touch his hand that lay on the seat. He jerked the wheel sharply when he got a brief flash of recognition from her simple touch. He pulled it up and stopped turning to look at her breathing hard
"Ilyara" he whispered pulling her close... he had a sister and she was alive!
"I think we should continue with our journey. Take me to the Pod Chamber, I want to see where we were born"

***

"You can heal yourself right?" asked Milton as he took down the first aid kit, he had tailored it to Liz's physiologoy. She reacted badly to some chemicals in medicinal salves and lotions. She couldn't wear plasters or bandages, so he used specially made cotton bandages in case she ever got hurt, which was quite often when Daryll got around to her.
"I can yes but a lot of people saw me beat up. I think I'm going to need a normal patching up, I'll have to suffer for now so we don't get caught" he said Milton nodded and began to sew up the dangerously painful cut on his forehead and put a special made plaster over the split gash under his eye on his cheek
"That should do. Was Liz okay?"
"Liz walked home by herself. She said that she had to and she would be giving us some news about something tomorrow"
"Ah" he said knowingly "I think she's seen something"
"Seen? What do you think it could be?"
"Something that would happen on her way home and maybe last for the rest of the day. I will call her later on and make sure she's home safe"
"I could go around and check on her if you want" said Max then winced when Milton snapped the thread
"Sorry" he apologised staring at Milton with a twinkle in his eyes "Are you sure? I could go round myself"
"No, no. It's on my way home, I could... stop in and make sure she's okay" he said "I'll see you tomorrow Isabel. Will you be okay getting home from here?"
"Yeah sure. I'm not sure if I want to go home now, Daryll probably told M... his parents that I know about the adoption. I don't know if I can face that"
"I could pick you up later and you could stay with me at my apartment. I have an extra room there if you need it"
"Thanks Max. Thanks bro" she smiled then he walked out in search of Liz.

***

"So this is it. This is where we were born" she said looking around the four pods, she glanced back at Michael who was trying to hold back his tears "What's wrong?"
"I... I was supposed to kill you. I was supposed to bring you out here hide you in the cave till you died" he explained then began to sob, she went over and hugged him "And even now knowing that you still care. Why?"
"Because you're my brother and I have to. I think I knew about what you were told to do. You don't have to do what he says you know"
"He's my friend Liz. My only friend"
"No he's not, a friend does not order another friend to kill for him you would have taken the blame and he would have gotten away with it. Do you really think that's friendship" she asked and he bowed his head and shook it
"No it's not... I just..."
"You don't want to be alone. I understand that, we've all been on our own for so long now. Isabel's been living in a ice world trying to fit in and I've been beat up and bullied because I didn't belong... we don't belong with them Michael. We can only face this world together as four" she turned to the pods, she pointed to the top left "You" then the one next to it "Isabel" then the one below "Max" and finally the one beneath Michael's "And me. It's just us, we're a family. Max and Isabel are brother and sister and you and me are brother and sister" she explained "We're all we've got"

Daryll was with his friends waiting for Michael to arrive. He wanted to know how he got on wasting that Parker girl. Isabel was still acting weird and hanging around with that Evans boy. He'd have to go next, he thought as he stood there waiting. Michael's dirt bike came roaring up and Daryll smirked, he wanted all the gruesome grizzly details. He raised a brow in surprise when he saw someone clutching to Michael tightly on the back of the bike. Michael gunned the engine and the other rider climbed off then pulled off her helmet, his heart stopped and his mouth hit the floor when he saw Michael wrap an arm around Liz and both of them walk off to meet up with Max and Isabel.
"Oh My God Max what happened to your face?" asked Liz reaching out to touch his cheek gingerly
"Daryll's what happened... what is he doing here?" Isabel hissed when she spotted Michael "Go away back to Daryll!" she shouted
"Liz, he's one of the guys who beat you up"
"No I'm not. I wasn't there when they did that... I would never hurt her now I know"
"Know?" Isabel whispered as she turned pale, she reached out and put her hand on Max's shoulder as she went dizzy
"That I'm like you" he said glancing round
"Michael's the fourth, he's the time keeper" Liz explained proudly "Show them" Michael lifted his hands and everything around them froze
"You can stop time" Max said aloud in disbelief as he looked round "You stopped time! How come it didn't work on us?"
"He stopped time for Earth and everything on it, he stopped this world but our brains... we're not from this planet so we can escape that law" Liz said "Everything runs on a frequency, we're just a different radio station" they began to walk about examining the frozen people
"How long does it last?" asked Isabel
"Not long, normally about ten minutes unless I undo it" he said "So you're the other two. From the other pods?"
"Pods?" Max raised a brow then glanced over Michael's shoulder to see Daryll frozen on his way to them "I think we should discuss this later and get out of here before Daryll catches up with us"
"No!" Michael said "We could expose ourselves, if time starts again and we disappear then people are going to notice"
"So we have to stay here and face him?" asked Liz curling closer to Michael who wrapped his arms around her
"I won't let them hurt you baby sis" he whispered then stepped back and let time run again.
"Mikey!" Daryll yelled, Michael turned around and feigned the look of boredom "What is going on? I thought I told you to get rid of that stupid bitch!"
"If you've forgotten to notice Daz, but Liz happens to be my twin sister. We both got adopted into different families, I'm not going to off my own sister just because you say so" he said
"You'll do it otherwise you won't have a friend in this town ever again"
"That's not true Daz" said Isabel coldly "He'll always have Max, Liz and me. Nothing will change that, now if you don't run along I'll tell the entire school what you did when you were eight" his eyes went wide with shock and fear
"You wouldn't dare" he hissed
"When Daryll was eight he went..."
"Okay! Okay! Stop!" he shouted "Let's go guys" they walked off leaving the four alone
"So what did he do when he was eight?"
"He got dressed up in my school shoes, my mom's cocktail dress and my grammas wig and sang girls just wanna have fun into a hair brush in front of his bedroom mirror. I got it on tape I'll have to show you some time" the others burst out laughing then headed to class.

***

"So you go by Milton now?" Milton turned around and froze "Funny, I always remembers you as Miel'tyn"
"What are you doing here?" he tried to hide the fear in his eyes
"Have they found each other yet?" asked the young man "Tell the truth now,"
"Yes sir"
"Good, and the Queen? Is she getting her visions?"
"Yes, she knows that they're a Four Square. So you're plans are ruined" he said triumphantly. Adam shoved Milton up against the wall by the scruff
"Did she see or did you tell her?"
"She doesn't know that I'm their protector, I would never risk my cover by exposing myself like that. Sir" he said fearfully Adam let him go then stepped back
"Good, my team will be picking up the queen as soon as her "skeewwwl" let's out" then he turned around brushing himself off "I always have trouble with that word" he mumbled to himself as he walked out of the UFO Centre.

***

"I'm walking home with Liz tonight, so I'll see you two guys on Sunday? I'm working tomorrow so you can either stop by the Restuarant or stop by after six when I get off" said Isabel
"Bye sis" Max waved to Isabel then blushed "Bye Liz"
"Bye Izzy, see you later sis"
"Bye!" they said together before walking off down the street, they were half way home when a white van screeched up alongside them the door opened someone jumped out and grabbed them both dragging them into the van before speeding off.
Liz and Isabel huddled together in fear, across from them sat a young man in his early twenties with brown hair and green piercing eyes he lifted his hand and Liz fell unconscious. Isabel tried to wake her up but it was no good, she turned to look back at him and he smirked
"Welcome back Queen Ava" he said to her before he knocked her unconscious too...

He jerked awake and wasn't surprised to find Michael standing near his open window
"She's gone" Michael said with a terrifying calm Max searched his conscious but couldn't sense his sister at all. Then they heard a banging on the front door downstairs. Max slid out of bed and grabbed some pants, he opened the door and watched as his mom opened the door and let the Sheriff in
"I think we should go to Milton" said Max, he turned around to Michael who nodded. When he looked back he saw the police coming towards his room "Shit!" he hissed shutting the door "The Sheriff's coming!" he dove for his bed and Michael rushed into the bathroom closing the door over. His mom opened the door and flicked the light on
"Get up" she ordered and he feigned grogginess
"What is it? What's going on?" he asked as he sat up
"Two girls never made it home after school... there were some witnesses saying they were kidnapped by teenagers and Isabel Ramirez's brother gave us your name"
"Daryll?" he hissed "Of course he'd blame me! He hates me!"
"Why is that?"
"Because Isabel found out she was adopted and that I'm her real brother" he explained, the Sheriff glanced at Diane who didn't seemed phased
"Is your son adopted?"
"Yeah, Phillip wanted a son before he died. He adopted and then I was left with the ungrateful bastard" she explained coldly
"Will you be able to find her?" asked Max "Who was the other girl who went missing?"
"Liz Parker" Valenti informed them and Max went pale
"They took Liz... I'll hunt them down and kill them myself if they ever lay a hand on her!"
"Calm down son" Valenti gestured as he put his little note book away in his back pocket
"If you need any help looking for them we'll be there" he said then grabbed a shirt tossing back the blanket. He pulled his shoes on and grabbed his jacket "I'm not sleeping until they're found"
"Well you better come with us, in a few hours we're going to search Frasier Woods" he explained and Max went faint. The idea that Liz or Isabel could be hurt made him feel sick
"I have to talk to the Sheriff!" came a loud shout from the living room, Max would know that voice anywhere
"Milton" he whispered he brushed past Valenti and his mom and went out to meet him
"Max I have to talk to you about... that book" he said and Max nodded following him outside to talk in private
"Does this have something to do with Liz and Isabel disappearing?" he asked trusting his senses. Michael came walking over, apparently he'd climbed out the window
"What's going on?" he asked
"Milton was just about tell us something" he said coldly
"It's my fault that Isabel and Liz were taken" he confessed Max punched Milton then went to dive at him but Michael held him back
"Stop, calm down. It won't help anything" he said putting himself between Max and Milton. He turned to Milton holding his bloody nose then punched him "I was wrong. I feel better"
"Talk" Max ordered
"Zan, Ava, Rath and Vilondra were known as the Royal Four on Antar. Zan the King, Ava his wife, Rath the General and Vilondra the Princess, you had enemies... the leader was called Kivar. He stormed the palace and killed everyone except Vilondra and Ava. He raped both girls and then killed Vilondra. He only kept Ava alive because she got pregnant... technically her son wasn't an heir but if he was claimed by Ava or Zan then he would rule. Kivar raised Aderam like a puppet. On the ship that came down I worked for Kivar... he wanted me to keep an eye on you then alert Adam when you had found each other and become the Royal Four once more... Adam would have killed me if I didn't"
"Why did you tell us this?" asked Max
"Because of Liz... she's been the only thing to make me human and I love her like a daughter... I just want her back safe" the three of them were distracted suddenly by the Sheriff and his deputies rushing to their cars. Max went faint when he heard them talking
"They found Liz" then his world spun on its axis before he hit the ground falling into darkness...

Max stood there next to Michael and his heart was in his shoes along with any hope he had. Milton stood a little further back from them. The attendant pulled back the sheet and there was Liz laying on the cold steel table. Her lips were blue and her skin was cold, pale and clammy. Max's legs gave out and he collapsed to the floor Michael crouched by his side and they hugged each other and cried.
Milton sighed walking forward to the steel table to glare at the attendant standing there
"Could you give us a moment?" he asked and the attendant nodded pulling the sheet back up over Liz's body. He watched the man leave then whipped out his cell phone and speed dialled someone
"River Dog. It's me, Nasero. Look I need a favour" he said into the phone "Another Nasero, my daughter... she needs the healing stones to bring her back. Yes, yes I'll get her out there right away" he hung up then looked to the two on the floor "Get up! Time is off the essence! We have to get Liz out of here before it's too late to bring her back. Michael stop time" he said as he began to wrap Liz up in the white sheet and picked her up "Max! Get up off the floor and pull yourself together!" Milton ordered them. Michael lifted his hands and stopped time then the three of them raced out to the jeep. Max sat in the back and Milton put Liz in his lap then got in the passenger seat and they headed to the reservation.

"Now Vilandra is out of the way, mother, we can finally succeed in our plans. Kivar's been alerted that we have you Ava" smirked Adam but Isabel kept quiet. She wasn't about to let on that she wasn't Ava, it was the only thing keeping her alive
"What did you do with Liz?" she demanded
"Dead, and good riddance! Can you believe she betrayed her family? Anyone like that doesn't deserve to live!"
"What do you mean?" Isabel asked confused
"Oh poor mother I forget you don't remember" he said coldly "Vilandra was betrothed to Rath but had a great love with Kivar. He told her that he wanted peace if he could get inside the palace gates. She let him into the palace and he destroyed everything even her. I know what he told Zan as he died, he told him that his own dear beloved sister had betrayed them all. Oh I wish I could have seen the look on his face" he chuckled
"You're a monster!" she gasped in disbelief
"No I'm your son" he replied as he stood up from the bed. She smirked
"No Adam. You're not" she said over-confidently "A son would be able to recognise his own mother" his eyes went wide in disbelief
"NO!" he shouted angrily and backhanded her she held her hand out and blasted him back, he smashed into the wall falling to the floor unconscious and she made for the window of the abandoned warehouse. She carefully climbed out onto the ledge and was about to climb down the drainpipe when something grabbed her ankle. She looked down to see Adam's hand around her foot, she pulled hard away from him and lost her balance. The air rushed past her and it felt like days before she hit the ground landing on a broken pipe. It impaled her side and she screamed out in pain, it was so terrible but she knew she had to get away. She could hear them coming! She pulled herself off the broken pipe and made a run for the road. As luck would have it someone was driving past, the red Jetta slowed for her and she climbed into the front. A thirty-something woman was driving with a teen daughter in the back
"Are you okay?"
"I need to get to Roswell, the UFO Centre" she said as she held her side
"Isabel? Isabel Ramirez?" the girl in the back was a back from school
"Please I just need to get to the UFO Centre" she repeated as she slumped back against the seat. Several skins under Adam's command rushed in front of the car "Don't stop!" Isabel shouted but Amy made no move to run them over. She honked her horn and she could see Adam making his way through the man towards her "NOOOO!" Isabel screamed throwing her hand up blasting them all back "Drive! Now!" she shouted and Amy slammed her foot down on the gas and sped towards Roswell.

River Dog watched as Milton lay the young girl down in the middle of the cave and handed healing stones to the two others, she was far gone but not too far that they couldn't bring her back. The stones began to glow and they were sucked into the Balance.

***

"Wait! Wait stop!" Isabel cried weakly "That's the jeep! That's my brother's jeep! Please, I need to get to him so he can heal me" she said climbed from the car. Maria sat there for a moment before climbing out too and helped Isabel walk into the cave. Milton started when he heard someone coming in, he held up his hand but stopped when he saw it was Isabel
"Oh Good Lord Vilandra!" he gasped
"Don't call me that!" she spat as Maria struggled with the taller girl. River Dog came over and pulled Isabel away from Maria and settled her on a point and handed her a crystal. In seconds Isabel was sucked into the balance with Michael, Liz and Max. Maria stood there watching until River Dog grabbed her too
"They will need all the help they can get" he said handing her the final healing stone. She sat down on the last point and copied the others.

Liz was lying inside all this webbing and she jerked awake to see Michael, Isabel, Maria Deluca from school and Max standing there. She looked down to see herself in a strapless white dress similar to Isabel's black one and Maria's green one. The men were dressed in black and standing on the outside of the circle. Michael walked into the middle and hugged Liz before walking back to his point. Isabel went over and hugged her best friend thankful that she was alive and safe. Liz looked down and saw blood staining Isabel's dress she looked up into her best friends face and then put her hand over the wound and within in seconds it was fixed. Isabel hugged Liz again before walking back to her point, Maria just smiled and waved everyone could sense her confusion but content acceptance of the whole situation she found herself in then Max was walking towards her. She turned around to face him and her whole world spun off its axis. He reached her and put a hand to her face pulling her close and kissed her, they kissed for what seemed like forever then Max pulled back and kissed her forehead then walked back to his point then they were all pulled from the Balance and Liz jerked up clutching the sheet over herself
"What just happened?"
"It was the Balance" said River Dog getting their attention "You all now carry the energy attuned to the healing stones. You're a full unit now"
"Uh what about me? I'm not like them" said Maria, from the strange connection she knew they were aliens
"You are connected to them and connected to the healing stone. You are part of their Balance, without you they cannot exist and without them you cannot exist. You are all interlocked in fate and destiny now, you share each others powers and will be stronger than ever" he explained. Maria held her hand up and it began to glow, she let it fade and dropped it to her side when Amy came looking for her daughter
"Maria? Are you okay? Isabel?"
"We're fine mom" Maria lied "We best get back to town" she walked away from the four and pulled her mom from the cave. The four were sad to see her leave but they had more important matters to deal with, Adam was still on the loose. River Dog walked over to Liz and handed her the fifth healing stone
"All or nothing" he told her looking round the others "There are Five of you now. Don't forget that" he said then left.

***

Maria was sitting at an empty table the next day when the four of them walked up. They had yet to come up with a reasonable story as to Liz's 'death' but she had an idea in mind.
"Hey" Isabel began as they all sat down "How are you?"
"Fine, fine... last night I think I went into someone's dreams" she whispered and Michael coughed
"Ahem yeah well uhm please keep whatever you saw in there private"
"Okay Mr Snugglepants" she smirked and the others laughed
"Snugglepants?" Max repeated making Michael blush
"So it's us Five now? I never asked for any of this" she told them
"Neither did we" Liz replied "They tried to kill me because I..."
"Liz they tried to kill me. They thought you were Vilandra" Isabel whispered "They thought I was Ava. They would have killed me... and Adam... I don't know how to tell you this..."
"It's okay I know. I saw it through the balance. I know all about Adam and Kivar and what he did..." she looked down feeling sick about it all then Max took her hand and linked fingers
"It'll be okay. We have each other now, we're strong together right? Maria are you in?" he asked
"When I was little I wanted something good to happen to me so I wouldn't be a small time small town girl with no future. Last night was it of course I'm in!" she smiled Michael held his hand out and Isabel put her hand over it then Maria put her hand over hers then the others did the same. Together...

Liz and Maria walked down the hall together the best of friends, Liz had practically been abandoned by her parents and Maria had been left by her father so they were in the same boat. They had a lot to talk about and with the fact that Maria had become alien there was a lot to talk about.
Daryll watched angrily as the two girls walked along till they met up with Isabel and then walked off to class talking happily. This was getting out of control, his sister didn't even come home anymore and when she did it was only for a few minutes. His parents were worried and there were all sorts of rumours around the school. He turned to walk off but bumped into someone standing there right in the middle of the hall staring after the three girls. Daryll scowled at the brown haired boy with black eyes, it was an alien like Liz and the others
"Hey watch it freak!" hissed Daryll the boy flung his arm out wrapping his hand around Daryll's throat and shoved him hard at the lockers. Some students gasped and stepped aside as he cast Daryll a sickened glance before walking off.

***

Liz pulled her shirt down then sat down to tie her laces up, her first class was Gym and she and Maria were going to pair up to race. Maria may have been small but she was certainly fast, maybe now she could find a person to match? She'd never stepped forward in sports, just stayed at a level to get by but maybe now she wasn't on her own she didn't have to hideaway so much? She got up almost falling over an excited Maria then chuckled then the two of them made their way out to the field
"So who was that guy who gave you the Crystals?" asked Maria as they made their way out
"I don't know. I think his name was River Dog , I have to ask Milton about him"
"Milton is..."
"He's the closest thing I have to a father. He's always looked out for me when I got bullied and beat up, I'm lucky to have him who knows"
"You mean your grandparents don't know?"
"Oh my they know that I'm different, my Grandmother looks out for me too but my Grandpa doesn't want to know. He doesn't want an alien in the family any more than my parents do" she said bitterly as they reached the field. Coach Hernadez got them running round the track and pretty soon the two girls were running alongside Cameron Carigan, Daryll Ramirez's prize girlfriend and number one on the track, Cameron scowled when she saw them in her peripheral vision. No one had ever kept up with her before let alone slow coach Parker! She must be getting slack, she thought as she tried to pull ahead. Maria just smirked and the two girls pulled ahead of her without breaking a sweat.
Soon it became a competition between the two of them to see who could win, Liz glanced over at her new best friend and sucked in a sharp breath before she sped up, her legs kicked up dust and within seconds she was leaving Maria behind. Coach Hernadez watched in delight as Liz did ten laps in forty seconds, when she finished them many of the other girls had given up due to the heat and had settled on the grass to watch Liz. Some of them were still running but giving up quickly to collaspe down on the grass out of breath; Liz just shook her legs and sat down next to Maria to wait for her next task
"Aren't you tired?" gasped Wendy White "I mean you ran ten in forty, I'm wasted"
"Oh yeah um me too"
"Well how come you're not out of breath or sweating like pigs like the rest of us?" she opened her mouth to answer but suddenly she sensed something. Maria put her hand on her shoulder
"What is that?" she asked as the two of them stood up looking around. Liz's eyes landed on Adam and she felt some fear rising up from her stomach
"It's Adam, my son" she whispered terrified as he came up from the locker room doors and across the field. His eyes were locked on Liz who stood there frozen
"Liz! You have to run! Go quickly! I'll hold him off!" Maria was screaming begging and Coach Hernadez was trying to get some explanation off them as Liz stood there stock still. Adam reached Liz and stood a metre from her and Maria fell silent. The coach stepped in front of Liz but she put her hand up stopping the woman and didn't let her block Adam's view of his mother. He glanced briefly at Maria before looking back to Liz then his harsh features softened as he fell to his knees. He wrapped his arms around her waist and sobbed into her stomach
"Mama forgive me" he cried, of all the things she had been expecting she'd never expected this. She put a hand on his hair and smoothed down his wild brown hair. Her eyes filled with tears, he was just a little boy in a big war wanting his mama
"It's okay" she whispered as she stroked his hair "It's okay. Mama's got you" she pulled him up and wrapped her arms around him
"Mamie" he cried into her shoulder as she rubbed her hand up and down his back
"Parker! What the hell is going on?" demanded the Coach and Adam pulled away staring Coach down raising a glowing hand
"You will show Queen Ava the proper respect she deserves human!" he hissed Liz put her hand over his glowing one and pulled it down
"Adam don't hurt her"
"But she's a stupid human. Who disrecpected you" he cried out confused at his mother's actions.
"She didn't disrepect me and I happen to be a stupid half human remember? I'm not fully Antarian and I'm not fully human"
"Forgive me. I have shamed you once again"
"I'm not shamed, I'm hurt that you would take a life so easily. Kivar..."
"Is my father and the leader, I was sent here to take you to him"
"But he is not my husband. Zan is, and I do not belong with Kivar and neither do you my son" she whispered feeling part of her old self shine within her
"But he's my fath..." he began to protest but Liz cupped his face forcing a connection to pass flashes. She showed him what he had done to her and then when she let go Adam was crying again
"I'm taking my son home" said Liz as she wrapped an arm around his shoulders. Maria stood proud and began to walk with them.
