CHAPTER 1
******
" Josh Kam, where are you?" A young woman screamed. She was scared, and panicked. Everywhere she looked it was just desert and sand. The stars sparkled against the black sky. It was an endless battle that she could never win. She was strong and she had survived so much. Her long light brown hair was tied in a ponytail, with a few strands of hair falling against her face. Her hazel eyes were tired and lost at the same time.
" Alex." A voice whispered. The women turned around.
*****
Alex woke up. She looked around the small room, remembering where she was. She had the same dream for three nights and it was beginning to make her mad. Sitting up, she looked to her left to see Josh sleeping quietly. Making sure she did not wake him she tiptoed out of the room. As Alex walked through the hallway she could hear someone in the kitchen. Once she reached the source of the noise she saw her cousin there making himself a snack.
" Why are you up Al?" He didn't even have to turn around to know it was her.
" I had some weird dream, you?" Alex sat down at the small table that was in their kitchen.
" Couldn't sleep." He answered. She nodded at his response.
" Want anything?" He asked her. She shook her head no.
" What was your dream about?" Alex's eyes avoided his
" What kept you up?" She always answered his questions with a question
" Come on, you can tell Kam. What, something going on with you and Josh?" Kam was not going to let her out easy.
" Everything's fine with Josh. God who are you my father?" At that moment she wish she hadn't said that. " I have to get ready for work." To avoid dealing with the issues she ran. All Kam could do was watch her walk off.
*********Crashdown*********
" Morning Jeff." Alex said as she went to her locker.
" Hi Alex. So have you been thinking about what I asked?" Jeff asked.
" Have you reconsidered owning an alien theme restaurant and changing it into a club." Jeff sighed at her question and that was all Alex needed. "Then I haven't decided whether I want to own this place. I mean my kind could be angry at me, and go on a mass killing spree that wipes out the world."
" You made your dent in this place, Alex. When Lizzie was here the uniforms were worse." Jeff smiled at the memory.
" That was before you knew Aliens existed, Jeff. When your daughter was here, you believe it was a balloon that fell out of the sky." She laughed at that idea. She found it so stupid that people believed it was a balloon, then again people probably found it funny how a spaceship fell out of the sky. It was the ding of the front door that Alex caught her chance to leave.
It was a young man that entered the Crashdown. Beside him was a young woman. The couple caught Alex's attention. The man seemed familiar. She couldn't place him exactly except that his jet-black hair and confidence reminder her of Kam. Alex walked to their table to do her everyday routine.
" Hi, I'm Alex. Is there anything I can get you?" Alex had a fake smile planted on her face.
" Two cherry cokes." The man answered. The man seemed to act more like Kam. As she returned with their cokes the man was curious too.
" Are you from around here?" The man asked.
" Yea, I grew up in this small town. Why, you believe aliens exist?" She found it easier to be the person to thought that it's crazy to think Aliens existed.
" I'm looking for my biological father. I think he's from around here." Suddenly the conversation was getting interesting.
" You know his name?" Alex asked.
" No, my papers are pretty sealed. He did a good job of that." He answered her.
" Why are you talking of only your father. Does your mother know who he is?" Alex tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
" I think my mother is dead." He answered.
" Wait, let me get this straight. For some reason you think your father is from here, but your mother is dead. So you are just going to go search Roswell? What's your name?" This was giving Alex a headache.
" I'm Seth, this is my fiancé Meredith. I just have a feeling he's from Roswell. Can you understand that?" He was stern but nice at the same time. The more the man talked he seemed to be like Kam.
" My shifts over at 5, come by here and I'll see how I can help you." Something was telling her to help Seth and she wasn't about to ignore it.
***Later in the day***
" So what's going on with Alex?" Kam asked.
" You think I understand this?" Josh replied.
" She's your girlfriend." Sometimes Josh surprised him.
" She's your cousin." Josh fired back.
" We're not playing this game. We're 19 years old; I'm not fighting you on this okay. We both care about her, so we're even here." Kam was not in the mood for this.
" Nicole still not giving you any?" Josh had a smirk on his face.
" How can you get from your girlfriend to mine?" Kam sighed.
" Easy, you're in a bad mood. Personally I think Alex is like everyone else, she's tired, and when she's like that we know to go hiding. So what is it that you really wanna talk about anyways?" Josh said.
" First of all it's not Nicole who isn't giving any, it's me. It's been how times this week Alex hasn't gotten any sleep? For her it's weird, she told me this morning she had a weird dream. Something doesn't add up." Kam was getting down to business.
" You don't want any?" Josh was still stuck on that. Kam sighed Josh would never change.
" Hey guys." Alex walked up to their table. She sat next to Josh.
" Ok, this is weird, but this guy came in this morning. He's looking for his father and well Kam he looked so much like you." Alex explained.
" Interesting." Josh said.
" Can you be serious for once?" Alex asked.
" I'm always serious." Josh said but both Kam and Alex ignored him.
" So what do you think?" Alex asked Kam.
" I'm not sure but how long is he staying in town?" Kam said.
" He didn't say, but he's coming by in less than an hour." She informed him. The mystery man decided to show himself at that moment.
" That's him." Alex whispered to Kam and Josh.
" You're right, he looks a lot like Kam." Josh commented.
" That's means nothing." Kam answered quickly.
" Hey Seth, where's Meredith?" Alex said.
" Oh, she decided to stay at the hotel. So you have any ideas?" Seth said.
"Yeah, come on let's go upstairs." She said.
" Cool room." Seth commented.
" Oh, thanks. I kinda of don't live here anymore." Alex was looking through a stack of books. " Biology, science, nope, yearbook."
" Decided to move out of the folks home." Seth said.
" Well, Jeff's not my dad and his wife Nancy died when I was 7. Try this one. It's year 2000." Alex said.
" Adoptive parents?" Seth asked.
" Not really, but they took care of me." Alex responded.
" Do you have any idea what he looks like? I mean your father." Alex asked.
" What's weird about this is I have small memories of both my parents." He answered.
" How old were you when you got adopted?" Alex started flipping through pictures.
" Almost 1, around that age." Seth became interested with a picture on the desk.
" That young. Geez, you must have a great memory." Alex said.
" Who's that?" He said pointing to a picture of a couple.
" What?" Alex said looking up from the book.
"That man, the one with the dark hair, and the women with him. Who is that?" Seth said.
" Why?" Alex asked.
" Who is he?" Seth demanded. His voice was strong and determined.
" My uncle." She whispered.
" Where is he?" Seth asked.
" I wish I knew the answer to that." Alex said.
" That's your parents?" Alex asked.
" Not the women, but the man is. My mother had blonde curls." He said sadly.
" Wait, Max is your father. But he couldn't be with anyone other than Liz. That makes no sense." This shocked Alex.
" Well that's him." Seth said. Alex took off out the door and down the stairs.
" Josh, Kam get up here." She screamed. This can't be happening she thought.
" Yeah?" Josh said with Kam right behind him.
" This guy says Max is his father." Alex said. Seth was standing right behind her.
" What!" Kam said.
" Wait, that makes no sense. If Liz and Max had another kid wouldn't they keep it here?" Josh said.
" Liz isn't my mother." Seth stated.
" Ok, that really doesn't make sense." Josh added.
" Who the hell are you?" Kam stood right in front of Seth.
" I'm not here..." But Seth was cut off by Kam." I will ask again. Who the hell are you?"
" Hey, guys stop this. As much as I would love to fight this out we have to be rational." Alex stood between the two.
" Let's go ask Valenti." Josh suggested.
******Police Station******
" So Valenti said he be working late?' Alex asked.
" Yeah, let's just hope he'll give answers." Josh said.
" So is keeping those two outside together is a good idea?" Alex asked while they headed to Valenti's office.
" Dunno we'll have to wait and see if they kill each other." Josh answered. Alex slapped him in the arm. They could hear Valenti's voice from his office.
" Hey Valenti." Alex opened the door. Her plastic face was showing threw.
" What do you want?" Valenti didn't have to look at her face to know what Alex was there for. She reminded him so much of Kyle. Despite Alex's ways of ignoring whom her parents were, Valenti could always tell that she was a Valenti. She was always in great shape, loved basketball and always finding the mystery in things.
" There's no easy way to ask this. So I'm just going to ask. Did Max have a son before Kam?" Alex only got nervous with Valenti. For it was one person that was her genetic line for sure. He was her grandfather whether she liked it or not. The look on Valenti's face was all she needed.
" Oh my god. He did, didn't he?" She didn't expect that. Max and Liz seemed like the perfect couple growing up.
" It was a long time ago." Valenti tried to say.
" Me, Josh and Kam were along time ago too. Why was this kid different." Now Alex was mad.
" We were told he was human." Valenti said.
" How, Max is his father, how can that be?" Alex demanded.
" That's what Tess said. Max wanted him to have a carefree life. No worries of Aliens whether or not of what he wanted." One thing Valenti learned over the years with these kids was that he had to defend their parents to them.
" Who's Tess?" Alex had never heard that name before.
" She was the fourth Alien." Valenti informed her.
" Where is she? Is she Seth's mother?" Alex asked.
" Who's Seth?" Valenti asked.
" Max's first son. He's here." Alex liked knowing more than Valenti.
" Tess is his mother then and she is dead." Valenti was actually sad about that. What Tess did was wrong but he took that girl in for almost a year. She was like family to him and Kyle.
" Why did you never say anything about her before?" It was Josh's turn to ask the questions. Josh knew that if he let Alex's fire die out then the answers would never come. Alex's determination to find their parents was one thing Josh and Kam knew Valenti was proud of. When Alex would go on and on the pride was right in Valenti's eyes.
" Because it doesn't matter who she was." Valenti told him.
" She was the fourth alien why would she not be important?" Josh asked.
" She betrayed them. She was going to send them to their enemy while carrying Max's child." Valenti said.
" How was she going to do that?" Alex asked.
" She tricked Max into thinking the baby couldn't live on earth. Michael found the key home. The four of them were all set to go, but..." Valenti couldn't finish his sentence. He was telling them to much.
" But what?" Josh asked. Josh was forceful, and demanding.
" Kyle, Liz and Maria figured out Tess killed Alex. Luckily Michael decided not to go home. When he opened the door those three were standing there. They told him what she did and well only Tess left earth that day." A small tear escaped Valenti's eye. It was small enough that Josh didn't notice but Alex did. There was a long silence that fell. The three didn't know what to say, but Alex spoke up.
" You want to meet Seth?" In many ways Alex was exactly like Isabel, she was tough on the outside. No one pushed her around, and she feared nothing. To the few people that knew her, there was a gentle side. A side that is caring, loving and supportive.
" Yeah." Valenti quietly replied.
Kam and Seth sat on a bench.
" You hate me huh?" Seth asked.
" I don't know you. You say Max is your father it makes no sense. What am I to believe?" Kam hated this. He wanted his mother and father right there. To make him feel the love he lost as a child. Josh, Alex, Jeff and Valenti were his family but he wanted to know his parents. He had to find them; there was no simpler way of putting it.
" Your lucky, do you realize that." Seth said.
" How so?" This guy made no sense to Kam.
" You know who you are. You had your cousin and your best friend. A man who knew who you were and wouldn't judge. You got people to tell you what things your father did, or a hobby you have of your mothers. Me, I got two people who loved me but they never knew me." Seth looked Kam in the eye.
" You knew your parents loved you, you were not some mistake." Seth sighed. The two sat there. Lost in their own thoughts of what life could have been, might have been or what could be.
" What's it like, not knowing who they are?" Kam asked.
" Tough, some guy I passed on the street could be my father. They are two people who are responsible for me being here and I have no clue who they are. They are some people that I've never met but I feel like I know them that I'm like them. " Seth said. For Kam it made him realize that Seth was right. He got lucky and knew some things about his parents and he had Alex, Josh, Valenti and Jeff.
" Welcome to the family." Alex voiced sounded small as she said those words. Kam looked up and could see how scared she was. Valenti was silent; you could see the sadness there. But a new hope had arrived, someone to help those three on the journey of finding their parents.
" Hi Seth, I'm Jim Valenti." Valenti extended his hand to Seth.
" Nice to meet you." Seth shaked Valenti's hand realizing he had found his family.
