This story is set right after departure. I never was able to see the last episodes of season 2, so I'm not sure if I got every details right. Please don't be mad at me if I messed up. I hope you like it.
What did I do to deserve this?
"Now you're all mine."
Tess didn't even look up as her tormentor walked into her little cell. She felt weak and hopeless. All she could do was close her eyes and hope she would die soon.
"Don't you even wanna know what I did?" She got no answer from Tess.
"Hey honey, are you listening?" By know Tess knew not to fall for her gentle voice. She was not gentle. She was brutal, vindictive, and she would kill her eventually; after she had her fun torturing her. Ignoring her lack of reaction the woman continued talking. "I've made sure nobody will ever search for you. They hate you now. They say you're a murderer." She was almost singing the words that killed all of Tess' remaining hope to ever leave this place alive. "Don't you wanna know what I did?" She repeated her former question. Tess wasn't able to reply. Why didn't she just leave her alone? "Answer me Ava!" All the false softness in her voice was vanished. "I…I do." When she got in this mood you better do what she wants. She had learned this the hard way. "Of course you do." She touched her face almost caring. Tess didn't reject. "I killed Alex." The news didn't shock or surprise Tess. She knew what the woman was able to do. To kill an innocent was nothing. "They think it was you. I really have to pad myself on the shoulder. It was a great plan."
"Why didn't you just kill me?" Tess' voice sounded weak and she wasn't able to hide her fear. "Kill you, honey? I couldn't to that. It's not that simple. Your friends would come and look for you. What if they would find me? I can't let that happen. Believe me it's much better this way. See, all I had to do was to take your form and play you for a while. I made sure that they would hate you. That was quiet easy by the way. All I had to do was to sleep with Max.
Then I killed Alex. Liz and Kyle found out that Alex didn't die by accident. They discovered it was my fault. Oh pardon me, of course it was your fault. They were pretty disappointed and upset. I think this Kyle had a crush on you. Anyway to make sure they wouldn't hurt me I told them I was pregnant and that I needed to go to Antar. It was so easy to persuade them that the Granolith would be the way home. You guys are really pathetic. You don't know anything about your past and the real powers you have. It was so easy to fool you. Now they think you're at Antar. Nobody misses you and they don't want to see you again. I can do with you whatever I want. You have no chance to flee. See you later honey."
Tess watched the woman who had destroyed her life walk out the iron door. She couldn't believe what she just had heard. If it was true, than she would never be rescued. Lying on the cold floor she thought about how she had met her worst enemy for the first time. She had been at the Crashdown, eating lunch with Kyle. As the young woman walked in the restaurant, catching immediately the attention of everyone. Her beauty was breathtaking. She had long, silky hair, a tempting mouth, endless legs and chocolate brown eyes, hidden underneath long eyelashes. She looked kind of lost standing near the door, unsure where to go. She looked around the Crashdown and then walked over to the table where Tess and Kyle were eating. "Excuse me." Her voice was soft and melodic. "My name is Manuela. I'm new in town and I think I got lost. Could you please give me the directions to Bowman Street?" Kyle was more than pleased to help her. After that day Manuela could often be seen in the Crashdown. That was nothing unusual; Roswell didn't have that many restaurants. Occasionally she would talk to Maria or Liz, but most of the time she was sitting alone on her usual table, that one right next to the door. Later on, after she got captured, Tess learned that Manuela was watching her. She studied Tess and her friends, so she would know how to proceed.
After months of being patient, but attentive Manuela finally did what she had come for. She waited until Tess was alone and then attacked her. Manuela's powers were huge. She was not only a shapeshifter, she could also control the mind. Tess really had no chance. Manuela brought her in the little cell, where she got locked away. There was no way of Tess knowing where she was and there was nobody to help her. From what Manuela had told her she knew that she had taken Tess' place. That's why nobody was looking for her. They thought she was still there.
Tess sighted. She shifted around on the floor trying to get at least a little comfortable. But the floor was hard and dirty. There was no furniture in the cell, not even a mattress she could sleep on. After weeks in this cell Tess felt weak and there was not a single part of her body that didn't hurt. She hadn't give up yet for one reason. She wanted to know why Manuela did all this to her. What did Ava do that she had deserved this? Why was she in hell? As many nights before, Tess cried until she was too tired and fell asleep.
