Roswell

Chapter 2

Max's POV-

I drive all day, not stopping once. I am determined to get there before midnight. There is nothing on my mind, but one person:

Liz Evans

I drive until I see the sign:

Malcolm Warehousing

For once my navigation skills didn't get me lost. Liz always mocks my map reading skills. She's the one who follows the map, I ask for directions.
I check the time. It's 11:35. We're almost out of time. "Let's go. We get in, get Liz, get out." I say.
"And Michael." Maria says. I don't reply. I know it isn't Michael's fault, but I just can't look at him the same.
"Okay, let's go. Isabel and Maria go for Micheal." Kyle says. "Max and I go for Liz."
I grab guns out of the glove compartment. There are seven guns, but I just give everybody one.
We split up. Kyle and I take the North door. The girls take the south door. Kyle and I slide the door open gently, but it makes a creaking noise. I hear a scream. I burst the door open, gun raised.
The warehouse is empty. There's a recorder on the floor. "I knew you would come looking for Liz. I had to move warehouses, but it happens. We're good. I forgive you. I knew You were talking to Liz in her mind, so I had to move. Liz, you want to say something?" A scream. "Fine, don't say anything. Well it's 10:00 and I am 4 hours from here. You will never make it."
I yell in frustration. I'm so sorry, Liz. I let you down.

Liz's POV-

"Please, stay away from me." I beg.
"It's midnight and I always keep my promises." The man says.
"At least tell me your name." I say.
"I am no one important." He said. "I hear you married the mighty king, Zan of Antar."
"Yes. So you best leave me alone." I say.
"No, Zan declined a deal with Kavar in New York that made all our people suffer. All the other 4 planets in the crucifix suffered. Zan will suffer to. You'll help me, because you're from my planet." He says.
"No, I'm not." I say. "I'm human."
"Yes, I sent you here differently than the royal 4. I zapped your 'Mother' so she would have you, you aren't full human. I helped you, and you helped me. You were princess. If I keep injecting you with the syringe, you will gain your abilities back." He says.
"If you want to help me, then you won't do this to me." I say. He snaps and I flinch. I'm injected again. My body feels like it's being tore apart and I scream. After a few minutes he puts the other stuff in my arm. The pain leaves.
"I will give you your powers back. Sometimes I wish you wouldn't have made me promise to do this. Now I look mean. Trust me, I'm not. We're friends." He says. Michael unchains me from the chair and throws me over his shoulder.
"I'm sorry." He says. "It's midnight."

Isabel's POV-

"It's not working." I say.
"Try again." Max says.
"She's tried three times, Max. Calm down." Kyle says.
"His girlfr- wife is probably bring beat right now. I don't think anyone has the right to tell him to calm down." Maria says, then gasps. "Oh, gosh. I'm sorry. Liz is my filter, without her I just- never mind."
"Is, why can't you get in her mind?" Max asks.
"She's blocking me." I say.
"But why?" Maria asks.
"I don't know." I say. "The only thing that can keep me out is someone else, who is in her mind. Another dreamwalker."

Liz's POV-

"I will never help you" I cried.
"I want to help your planet, your people, your life. Help me in the process. We were- are friends. I promised you, before I sent you here, I would come for you." He replies.
"Our planet was attacked. I saved you. I promised I would come for you. Then after I sent you to Earth, Zan was offered a deal years later. A deal that would have helped me to be king, but he declined it. We were to be married. Our arranged marriage wasn't ideal, but I would be king. Obviously, he declined it to be with you. He should have to pay and now he will." He says.
The man had Michael put me back in my chair. I was strapped in. He put his hands to my head and did something.

Sero's POV-

I took her memories of this. Of me. She will deny anything happening and forget that she has seen me. I went about this the wrong way. I need to start over. I can make her my friend and build from there.
I erase Michael's memory too and take everything tying my to this place, I inject her with the serum, one last time, and she screams in her sleep and jerks. Then I inject the other serum. She stops moving and falls back asleep. "I injected you with all of it. You will soon get your abilities, and hopefully help me."
I leave the warehouse.

Max's POV-

I search the warehouse until the phone on the wall rings.
"Hello?" I call through the phone.
"You want your girl? Go to the Lucxnover warehouse." I hear a someone say with a voice distorter. The person hangs up.
I get in the car, with the others following. We drive the 4 hours to the warehouse. I jump out of the car and run inside.
It's mostly empty, but it has a phone on the wall and a chair in the middle of the room.
Michael is the first one we find. He's on the floor, unconscious. Maria slaps him. He wakes up. "Where am I? What's going on?" Micheal looks around.
"What do you remember last?" I ask.
"I remember going to the bathroom at a gas station and buying supplies in Arizona." Michael says. "Why?"
"That was last week." Maria touches his hand. It's bruised. I slide my hand over it healing it. I try not to think about the fact that he bruised his hand punching my wife.
"Where's Liz?" I ask. Michael shrugs. He's, oh so, helpful.
I walk over to the chair in the middle of the room and she's not there. Maria comes over.
"Max look up." Maria says. Liz is levitating above them.
"Liz!" Kyle yells. Maria slaps him upside the head. She wakes up and falls. I catch her. She doesn't look so good. She has bruises on her face and bags under her eyes. I swipe my hand over the bruises and slide my hand over the cut on her leg.
"Liz?" Tears roll down her face as she cries. I gently caress her face. She kisses me and I return it, but then she pulls away. She puts her hands to her head in pain.
She scoots away from us quickly. "Please, don't!" She falls straight back and starts to jerk. Her body won't stop, we try to grab her legs and arms.
Liz's body heats up. It gets to hot to touch. She catches fire, but doesn't burn. Then the flames vanish she starts to frost over. She's cold as ice. Then she's hot again. Then catches fire, but when it goes out she starts jerking again. "I won't help you!" She screams.
She sits up quickly and looks around. "Stay away from me!" She screams. She takes off running. I run after her, but she's to fast. Everyone gets in the van to follow Liz.
We follow her to a club. She goes inside. We follow, but loose sight of her.

Liz's POV-

I run through the bar and to the counter. I get a glass of water and drink half of it in one guzzle.
"Hey, I'm Brendan." The guy beside me says.
"Hello." I reply. He chuckles.
"It is nice to see you after all these years." Brendan says.
"I noticed, you should have come sooner." She says.
"We don't have a lot of time, Max will be here soon." Sero says. He touches my head and erases my memories of Princess and my planet. And him, my best friend from my planet.
He pulls away quickly and faces forward. "Hi, I'm Brendan."
"Hi, I'm Liz.... I'm sorry have you seen my husband. Max. Brown hair, taller than me and-" I stop. "Wanna see a trick?" Brendan asks. I nods. He levitates the cup.
"I'm special." I say, feeling giddy.
"You're an alien too." Brendan says.
"Really?" I ask.
"Really. I'm running from the FBI, but their gaining."
"We're too, and we running." I say.
"Hey, babe, where did you go?" I say to Max as he walks up. His brows frown in confusion. I hug his waste.
"Hi, I'm Brendan. You an alien too?" He asks, chuckling.
"I'm s-sorry, w-what?" Max stutters.
"Liz is kinda drunk. Someone must've slipped something in her drink. I'm an alien too, I'm running from the FBI. I got them off my trail until the Roswell aliens got the FBI going again." Brendan says. "You and your gang should come stay in my mansion."
"No, I don't th-" I interrupt Max.
"We would love too. That's a great idea." I say.
"Great follow my car." Brendan says. And we do.
