Part 2

Maria, Kyle and Liz sat around the kitchen table with their coffee cups. None of them saying anything. This was new to them. They knew aliens, but this was very different. Jesse walked in dressed in a t-shirt and jeans. They looked at him. "So I'm guessing you all want to know what happened…"He said to them. "Did you know this was going to happen?"Liz asked her cousin. "Yes." He told her as he sat the table.

"I had gotten one of grandma Claudia's journals as a gift from her before she died. She told me that one day I would know when I needed it. After I killed that man to protect Isabel. I knew that I needed it. In it was all about our family being wolves. That once we killed someone it would turn it on. That it would happen on a full moon. I knew the full moon was going to happen soon. So I came here like her journal told me to." He told her.

The three teens didn't know what to say. Liz finally put it all together "Does that mean that it will happen to me?" She asked. Maria looked at her worried. "If you kill someone yes." He told her.

"Does Isabel know?" Kyle asked him. "No, I was scared to tell her. Max and Michael already don't trust me." He told him. "This is my secret. You three don't need to be involved." He told them. Liz put her hand over his. "You're my cousin." She told him.

"Plus the aliens always keep secrets from us. Why can't we do the same to them." Maria said laughing. She got up and started heading for her room "I'm going to go for a swim."

Kyle started getting up too. "I'm going to go unpack some more." He said as he headed up to his room. Liz went to go get more coffee. "What are you going to tell Isabel?" She asked her cousin. "I called her this morning and told her that I was going to spend a few days away. Which she didn't like." He told her. He looked up at her. "What are you going to do about Max?" He asked her. "I can't go back to him. I gave up a lot. I think, because I loved him so much. That is why I jumped right back with him after everything. I think now I'm starting to breath again. I'm starting to feel the pain again. He slept with Tess. I know that I pushed him towards her. I just thought that our love was strong enough that he never would. I was wrong. Like he said he needed to know what it was like to be with someone of his kind. I need to know what it's like to not be with a alien." Jesse was happy for his cousin.

He knew that the Liz that been around the past few months was nothing like the Liz he knew. He knew that Liz wouldn't have put up with what she was putting up with. He was happy she was putting herself first.

Max had called again… Liz put her arms over her eyes as she layed on her bed. She knew that it was over. He had always been the one to pull away and this time it was her. When she first fell in love with her it was magical. It was pure. Then Tess came into town and he started getting flashes from her. Then future Max happened. Which he or the rest of the aliens even knew about.

Then Max slept with Tess and got her pregnant. Something she never thought that her Max would do. He used to be nobol. He used to be kind. He used to love her with everything in him. Now he wasn't any of those things. He was no longer her Max.

Future Max wanted Max to fall out of love with her. Instead…. She fell out of love with him.

Isabel walked around her apartment. She noticed that some of Jesse's clothes were gone. A few shoes. He told her that he was going to be gone for a few days, but she had a feeling there was more to this.

She looked up when she heard a knock at the door. She walked to it and opened the door. On the other side was both Michael and Max. "I overheard Mr. Parker talking to Kyle's dad at the CrashDown about how Kyle, Maria , Liz and Jesse are together.." Michael told her as he flopped himself on to her sofa. She looked at Max. "He told me that he was going to go clear his head for a few days." She told them. Michael started turning on the tv. "With Kyle and the rest of the humans?" He asked.

She gave a sideways look "Well Jesse and Liz are cousins." "I kept telling him that its nothing. Jesse just found out about aliens. He is probably still shaken up." Max told her as he went to go sit on a chair. "Stop trying to make me worry Michael! You're just doing that, because you never trusted Jesse!" She said yelling at him.

He finally looked at her "There is more to that family than you know. I have a feeling about that. You've never really been around Liz's dad. I have. It's like he has super hearing. I once saw him come from up stairs in the apartment when Sherry broke the alien glasses. Telling her to be careful. You have to admit Maxwell. You and Liz can't sneak around him. He always knows."

Max started to think about it. He did remember seeing Liz's dad get hurt and then he got back up as if nothing happened. He didn't think much of it at the time. No! It couldn't be! Michael is just nuts!

"Do you two want to see the land and everything that we have?" Liz asked Maria and Kyle. "Hell yeah!" Kyle yelled. They all went outside where there was a golf cart. They got in. Liz started it up. They had a little paved road make for the cart. They passed a trail that lead into the woods. "Back there is a cabin that they built when we got the land. I have only been there a few times. It has a small porch in front of it." Liz said pointing down the trail.

They passed the pound with the ducks. Next to it was a collage. "Grandma Claudia had that built." Maria fell in love with the house the moment she saw it. Liz drove down a bit a ways. "Why are there so many houses?" Maria asked her. "It seems like every generation built a house. My dad said that they did it in case we ever needed to hide. Back then I thought he was joking. Now I know that he wasn't."

There was a veggie garden to the left of the road. That had a gate around it. There was wolves statues here and there.

They came up to a victorian house. That had a wrap around porch. "That one is my favorite." Liz told them. It was the house her mother had built. Liz remembered helping her pick of things that would go in it as a child. Nancy kept telling her daughter that one day she would live in it.

Liz drove past the barn that had horses in it. "Who takes care of this place?" Kyle asked her. "A old family friend." She told him.

Michael decided to sneak up on that night. He knew something was up with him. He used his powers to open the door. The lights were off. Then he heard something growling by the cafe door. He turned and saw glowing eyes staring at him with fangs. It started to slowly come towards him. The light from across the street came shining in. He saw that it was a wolf.
