Letting The Love Escape

Chapter 1: Running Away

Maria glanced out the van window as she looked at the cars that were passing her by. Maria sighed as she leaned her head on the glass window. She had never expect in a million years that she would ever leave Roswell and be on the run from the F.B.I. But that was exactly what was happening. It all started earlier that morning when Max, Isabel, Liz, Michael, Kyle and herself all got into Max's van and drove out of Roswell, since it had become unsafe for the aliens to stay in Roswell. The F.B.I had finally figured out their little secret and were trying to capture them. Maria felt sorry for Isabel, who had to leave her husband Jesse behind. Maria glanced over at Isabel, who was sitting in front of her. Her hand was down and her cheeks were wet from the tears that had fallen. Maria sighed again. She looked up at the front, where Max was driving and Liz was sitting beside him. In front of her, Isabel and Kyle sat. Kyle was staring out of the window too, just like her. Maria also felt sorry for Kyle, who had never wanted to be in this mess in the first place, was now fleeing from his home and from his dad. If Kyle's dad, Sheriff Valenti had not been so kind to the Pod Squad, then Kyle would not be sitting in a van with three aliens. Maria never wanted to be in this mess either but as she looked over at the person sitting beside her, she realized why she did want to be in this mess. She was in love with Michael Guerin. But right now they were not getting along, ever since they hit the road, the two of them had started bickering at each other non stop. They were yelling and swearing so loud that Max had to stop the van and tell them to shut up. Since then they had been quiet but Maria knew the silence wouldn't last for much longer. All she wanted was to be held by his strong arms and never let go. As a tear silently slid down her face, the silence was finally broken.

" What is your problem, why you staring at me?" Michael said not seeing the tear fall from Maria's eye.

" Do not say anything!" Isabel warned not wanted to hear another argument.

Maria properly sat up and then Michael saw the tear.

He didn't say anything but Maria could see a concerned look in his eyes.

" I'm going to get some gas, Did anyone want anything?" Max asked.

No one replied.

"I'll take that as a no then." Max said as eh got off the highway and want into a gas station. When Max got out of the car, Kyle spoke up.

" Why didn't he just use his powers?"

" Because he wants to save them up." Isabel replied.

" For what?" Kyle asked again.

" In case something happens to us." Isabel said.

Maria gulped.

" Like what?" Maria asked.

Isabel shrugged her shoulders, as Max came back in the car.

" The F.B.I is on our trail, what do you think is going to happen!" Michael said.

All of a sudden her stomach felt sick.

" The F.B.I are probably still back in Roswell." Kyle said trying to cheer Maria up.

" I don't think so.." Liz said panic in her voice as she spotted a car with red lights.

Everyone glanced in the direction Liz was looking in.

" Max step on it!" Michael yelled as Max put his foot on the petal and sped back on the high way.

The sound of a screaming siren was soon heard as the F.B.I followed closely behind the van. Maria kept on looking through the back window, hoping that she wouldn't see the car with the red lights. But every time she looked it seemed like the car was getting closer and closer to them. Maria looked at all of her friends, all of them at panic written all over their faces. Even Michael looked worried. Maria glanced back at the car behind them. All of a sudden she saw a red ball of fire coming from the car as it flew towards them.

" Max move the van!" Maria yelled.

Liz looked at her with a questioning look as she looked iin her rearview mirror and saw the red ball of fire.

" They are not the F.B.I, they are aliens!" Maria yelled.
