Chapter 10 - Liz-POV

"Alex, Maria, Michael. You guys scared the life out of me." Isabel said.

"Sorry Isabel. We just wanted to see Liz." Maria replied. It feels like we haven't talked properly in forever.

I felt really bad. Maria hadn't done anything wrong, and yet I was talking to Isabel more than I was her.

"No problem, Maria. I'm sorry that we haven't spent much time together lately. It's just ... everythings a little wierd right now. I'm trying to adjust. But to do that, I need my best friend. So? Will you help me?"

She smiled. It was a true Maria smile and I knew that I had been forgiven. "Lizzie, it's not your fault, for three reasons. One; you've just found out that you're an alien. Two; your soulmate has always been by your side probably since time began. And three; you're pregnant!"

I grinned. That was true. Maybe that's why I was in my coma. So much information in so little time. My brain just couldn't take it anymore. "That's true." I sighed.

Wait, Liz is pregnant? That could be dangerous. Nobody knows what the baby will look like. Will it be human? Or will it be something else. Oh, God. I need to talk to Max about this.

I looked at Michael. "Max, honey? Can you go and talk to Micheal while we all have some girl time?" I asked with a puppy pout.

He smirked. "Sure, baby. Micheal, Alex? You coming to the cafeteria?" He asked the boys.

Maria looked at Max and protested. "Uh, uh, Moondoggie. Alex is one of the girls." She beamed.

Alex got a funny look off both Max and Michael. "If your best friends were girls, you'd be one of the girls too." He mumbled.

"Actually 'Ria. Maybe Alex should be with the boys. He needs a testosterone filled environment if he's going to be more manly!" I smirled at Alex. It was one of the thoughts running through his head.

He shot me a grateful look. "Thanks, Lizzie. As much as I love being one of the girls, at times, I really don't want all of the gory details."

Maria scoffed. "Oh, please. You know for a fact that Michael will be getting the same details off Max as soon as you walk out of those doors."

"Yeah, but it'll be from a man's point of view. It won't be talked about like a love story or something." Michael shouted.

I sighed and grabbed my head. All of the voices were killing me. It wasn't just the people in the room. I could hear the nurse out in the corridor, down to the receptionist at the end of the hall.

"Liz? Honey?" I heard Max whisper.

"The voices, Max. I can't shut them out. I need ... Isabel help me!" I cried.

Isabel hesitated. "What? Me? How?"

"Just take hold of my hand, and send out calming thoughts. Maria, take the other hand and do the same. Guys ... I'd appreciate it if you took Max for something for me to eat. I need lots of Chzechoslvakian food." I told everyone.

They all did what I said and my headache started to fade. The voices stopped until all I could hear was myself. "Thanks girls. I needed that."

"Liz? What did we just do?" Isabel asked carefully.

"You helped me balance myself. I couldn't handle all the thoughts, so I used you two as an anchor to claim my thoughts as my own. You use to do it all the time up on Antar. I think it was because we were all such close friends."

Maria and Isabel looked at each other. Then back at me. "Umm, Liz? Did you just say that I was on Antar with everyone else?" Maria asked. She looked terrified.

"If it's powers that you're worried about 'Ria, don't be. You're not an alien. Your soul was just reborn so a prophecy could fulfil itself. I'll explain everything when we get out of here. You never know when someone could be listening." I replied.
