You Aren't The Only Aliens (Roswell 1999-2002 version)

Okay so, I have grown up watching Roswell since I was taken home from the hospital and I really love the show. The show started in 1999 and ended in 2002. It's a really great show, it's available on Netflix and HuluPlus.

~Cara's P.O.V.~

Okay so, before I begin my story a lot of you are probably wondering about who I am and my story of how this all began. Well, I'm Cara Dove and I'm 14 almost 15. I have brown hair, goldish brown in the summer and beautiful Hazel eyes. I live in Roswell, New Mexico and attend Roswell High School. Everyone thinks I'm an average teenager ,but I'm not. I am half alien. So is Micheal, Max and Isabel. We'll they don't know that I am not of this Earth, but I know about them for sure.

They don't really hide it that well. I don't know much except that. I came out of this pod in Colorado and was walking down a dirt road when I was 6. Then I was taken to the same adoption agency as the other 3, but they were found in Roswell. Max and Isabel were adopted by Evans and Micheal was adopted by some guy with the last name Garren. I was obviously adopted by the Dove's. I've never really talked to the other 3...only a few times for class work.

Okay and now back to my normal life. I have no siblings. I'm best friends with Liz Parker and Maria Deluka. I work when needed at the Crash Down Cafe which Liz's parents own. You know normal teenage life. Well until one day in September...

To The Present...

I was working a shift at the Crash Down and went into the backroom to text my mom that I was going to be home in an hour or two for our daily lunch together. After a few minutes I heard a yelling then everybody scream, so I ran out of the backroom and two guys had guns out looking like they were going to fire. "Everybody duck now!" I yell and duck. "Liz!" Maria screams. She's just standing there, next thing I know shots are fired. I look around after the two run out of the Cafe. "Liz?" I hear Maria ask.

She didn't respond so I looked to where she was and she was the one who got shot. "No, no, LIZ!" I yell and run over. I didn't realize it, but Max and Micheal were here and I heard Micheal yell, "Max what are you doing? Don't be stupid." He runs over and pushes me out of the way. "Clear the area." Micheal tells everyone and I am still sitting a few inches away from Liz. "Cara, out of the way." Micheal tells me. "No, I'm not leaving her, she just got shot." I tell him.

Next thing I know I feel arms around me and I'm being pulled away from her. I look over my shoulder and see Micheal. "What are you doing?" I ask him. He just looks at me in the eye and doesn't look away. I know this is gonna sound crazy, but I feel connected to him somehow. Once I look away I see Liz fully healed. Then, I catch Max breaking a bottle, and pouring it over where Liz was shot. "You fell and knocked over a bottle of Ketchup." Max tells her then stands up. "Let's go." Max says to Micheal and starts walking but Micheal doesn't let go of me. "Micheal, let's go." Max says a little louder and he snaps out of it and together they run off.

I help Liz stand up. "Are you okay?" I ask her. "'Yeah, it was just Ketchup." I knew she was lying. I stayed and told my mom what happened but not the full story. Just that something was happening at the Crash Down and I'll be home later. I made sure everything was okay then left at 8 at night.

While I was walking I felt someone following me so I kept looking back but didn't see anybody. Weird. Then I was grabbed and dragged into an alley and was hit hard into a brick wall. I started kicking, when I heard a familiar voice say, "Cara stop kicking it's Micheal." I look in front and see him. "Why'd you do that? Can you let me go? My head hurts." He lets go and I stand up looking at him. "You saw something at the Crash Down. Don't tell anyone." I scoff.

"Why would I?" Then I slam my mouth close. Crap. "Why do you say that?" He ask me curiously. "Well, she did drop a bottle of Ketchup. Why would I tell a cop that?" I finish and walk out of the alley. "Cara!" I turned and saw Micheal then my instincts kicked in and I dashed for my house. When I got home I slammed the door and locked it. Then I went to my room, locked the door and the window and went to bed. School is going to be a pain tomorrow.

A Week Later...

I walked out of my last class for the day. It's just been me this week. Maria, and Liz have gone off their own ways cause they're fighting and I don't want to be in-between so I haven't talked to them. "Cara, what happened to Liz she won't tell me. She was shot right?" I turn around and see Maria. "No, I saw, she dropped a bottle of Ketchup. Please don't bring me into the fight." I walked away leaving it at that. Sure I covered for Max and Micheal cause why not.

Walking home someone drove next to me until we were in the middle of nowhere...cause I live a little way out of town by 10-15 minutes. I know it's Micheal, Max and Isabel following me. "Cara!" I hear Max say. "What?" I ask, not even looking. "Get in. We all have to talk." I look at him and see the look on their faces. "Fine." They pull over and I hop in the back seat with Isabel in Max's Jeep.
