Roswell

Chapter 9

Liz's POV-

"I'm sorry, what?" I ask.
"I am Kavar and you are marrying my son. It was planned long before you went to Earth. You two were best friends, I'm sure you will become like that once again." Kavar states.
"No, we will not! I'm married and I have a baby." I snap.
"You don't have the baby. I do." He replies. Anger flares inside of me.
"Give me my baby!" I snarl.
"If you marry my son, your friends can leave with the baby." He smirks.
"No, I will get my friends and my baby out of here as soon as I can." I reply.
"They will be executed at dawn." Kavar replies. Why is it always at dawn? Is that just a time villains like or something. Geez.
"Executed?" The realization slaps me in the face. "No, don't-I-I'll do it. I'll marry him."
Kavar smiles. "I knew you would choose wisely." He walks away.
"I have a condition." He turns to look at me with raised eyebrows. "I want you to give me my baby now and let my friends leave with the baby today. I want to be there when they leave."
"But of course, my dear." He orders a guard. A woman comes out holding my baby. Alex is crying. I snatch the baby from her arms and hold him.
"Shh...Alex, It's okay...shh." I cooe. He gets quiet. He smiles at me and shrieks in delight.
I hear footsteps behind me and I turn around. Max and my friends. Max looks at me in astonishment.
"How did you manage all of this?" He asks. A tear slides down my cheek. I kiss Alex's forehead and hand him to Max.
"You need to leave." I say quietly.
"What?" He frowns.
"You need to get in Brandon's ship and fly away. Take the baby, Maria, Michael, Kyle, and Isabel and leave. Don't come back. Ever." Tears start to fall quicker.
"I'm not leaving you!" Max says in a frustrated and helpless voice. The voice is almost scared. I open my mouth to reply.
"Cassie, you need to go be fitted for your wedding gown. Please hurry this process along." Kavar smirks.
"Please, go. Save the baby. Your sister. Your friends. Just go." I beg.
"That means leaving my wife, to get married to someone else." A tear slides down Max's cheek.
"I'm doing it for you. I love you. All of you." I hug them all. They all get in the ship except Max.
"Protect Alex." I kiss Max as passionately as I can. Then I walk away. From Max and the baby. From my life.
Tears stream my face. I can't stop crying. Sobs come out in squeaks and I run back into the castle.

Max's POV-

I get on the ship with a determined look on my face. I'm not leaving her behind. I start the ship and fly away from her planet.
"Max, what are you doing?" Michael asks.
"Here, watch Alex." I hand him the sleeping baby. He frowns at me and opens his mouth to protest. I shush him and point to the baby. Glaring, he walks away.
Maria walks over to me with a mad look on her face. "What are you doing?" She yells. I turn to face her.
"My baby is sleeping, so kindly shut up." I turn back towards the steering wheel.
"So, this is it. You just leave Liz." Maria snaps.
"Shut up!" I yell. Alex starts to cry. Isabel takes Alex from Micheal and goes into one of the bedrooms.
"What is your plan then?" Maria asks.
"You'll know when you need to know." I answer. I land the ship. I walk out and see the sky is beautiful red and the ground is gray. This planet looks abandon. My planet. I look for a castle.
"What are we doing here?" Maria asks.
"Maria stay with Kyle and Isabel. Michael come with me." I ignore her question.
I find a building that looks like it is the castle and go in. The giant double doors creak open. A throne room. It was once grand and is now filthy and dinghy.
"What are we doing?" Michael asks.
"All the people who revolted against Kavar were sent here. To a prison. I might be able to find someone from Liz's past to help me." I reply. I walk down the stairs to the dungeon.
"Is anyone down here?" No reply. I walk down the hallway with Michael trailing behind.
"Hello?" He calls. "It's Zan and Rath. We are here to save you."
"Here. We are over here." A sting male voice replies. I run toward the voice. About 500 people are locked in the cells.
"Why have you come here?" The man asks.
"My wife has been taken, she is to marry another man." I look him straight in the eye.
"You wife, what is her name?" A woman beside him said with a silky voice. I try to answer but it hurts to think of her all alone and that I left her.
"Her name is Cassie." Michael answers. The man stands quickly.
"Princess Cassie?" He asks. I nod, frowning my eyebrows in confusion.
"Melody, she's back." The man says to the woman beside him.
"Who are you?" Michael asks.
"We are King and Queen of another planet. We are also Cassie's parents." Melody replies.
"How is my daughter?" Melody asks.
"She has a son. He is beautiful. His name is Alex. We were married a little over a year ago. She is happy....well was happy. Kavar has her now and she has to marry his son." I reflect to her tear stained face, when we left.
"She will not marry anyone!" The king stands. He is extremely angry. "We will stop this wedding!" He slams against the bars.
"Honey, you have tried this before." The queen tries to soothe. The king stops.
"This is the reason we sent her to Earth in the first place." He sighs.
"Your majesty, we have to do something. I-" I hear a ringing noise. I look to Michael. He frowns and pulls out his phone.
"Weird. Full bars." He answers. He listens without talking and his grip tightens on the phone. His knuckles turn white. He smashes the phone.
"What?" I ask. "Michael, what happened?"
"The ship. Kavar's men came here. They took Kyle, Maria, and Isabel." Michael grits his teeth.
"What about Alex?" I ask. Michael nods.
"No. They can't. They let us go!" I yell.
"It was a trap. All part if Kavar's game." The king states.
"They took my son. This is not a game to me." I glare fiercly. The looks very angry. She grabs the bars and they melt.
"How did you-" Michael starts, but quickly shuts his mouth.
"Lets go." She walks up the stairs.
The king unlocks the doors quickly. "You can come and fight with us or you can go do what you wish."
Some men followed all the women and children stayed. Some of the men stayed with there wives.
"Our ship is probably gone by now." I state. "They wouldn't leave it for us."
"We'll take my ship, then." Melody goes to a wall and touches an ingraving. They wall slides open.
We go inside and there is a huge ship in the middle of an armory. The men grab and load weapons like an assembly line. We all load the ship in a matter of minutes.
I'm coming for you Liz.
