Disclaimer: I don't own Roswell or the Covenant. This is my take on how things might have happened had Liz made a different decision.

[A/n: Thank you very much to everyone who has been reviewing and commenting on my stories. I really appreciate it.]

Calculus was almost painful to sit though for Liz. She could not focus on the lecture at all. Her mind kept going around in circles trying to figure out how to fix the mess that she had caused. Fed up with the way that things were standing and not being able to come up with a plan or solution Liz wandered back to her dorm at the final bell. Thankful that she was able to get away from the main part of the campus quickly she let herself relax. There had been very few times when Liz was not in perfect control of what she could do. At 13 when she had gained her powers she had been a little shocked and scared. Then she saw the electric currants running along her veins. That night she had ended up setting a stack of books on fire. The only thing that saved the place was that she quickly was able to get the fire put out with water. Even then she had to make an excuse to her parents that had something to do with a candle falling and catching the books on fire. That was when she really started keeping a journal. It had been an affective way to control her powers up until her junior year. After everything that went down that year her power flare ups were becoming more frequent. Anger and pain had always been triggers for her but that last year had been full of both.

Liz Parker forced herself to keep her hands fisted and focused on keep all of the energy inside of her. She was also extremely grateful for the long sleeves of the blazer that covered up the electrical currants running through her arms. Once she made it back to her dorm room Liz let the energy go some allowing it to channel out of her fingers to different candles that her roommate had on her side of the room. After that the build up of energy was no longer as painful. Liz decided to spend some time writing in a notebook that she had in her back pack about the way things were going so far. Her old journal no longer in use and remaining in her secret hiding place was back in Roswell. Now she would start a new journal and hopefully, figure out a way to salvage her new life.

The entry read something like this.

Today is December 10th. I am Liz Parker and today could not have gone in a wider circle. It started out pretty bad, and then it became pretty great really. Then it all had to come crashing down. It always comes crashing down on me.

Like last time it happened in the form of a person. Last time it was in the person of Tess Harding and this time it was in the person of Aaron Abbott. That name now just makes me feel nauseous. However before I go into to much detail perhaps I should mention how it is that I came to be where I am right now.

Where am I right now, you might ask? I am in the small town of Ipswitch, MA. I came out here from the possibly even smaller town of Roswell, NM. I had finally gotten fed up trying to keep my nose to the ground and get my life back together with "them" around. I could not help it. I had to try and control myself more than I had since I was 13. It took me lots of time to learn the kind of control that I have and even then mom had finally caught me. Then I got swept up into the "alien abyss" and yes there really are aliens living in Roswell, NM. At first it all had to do with protecting the one who had saved my life.

There had been an argument in the café and a gun went off. I just was not quick enough to get out of the way. Max Evans risked his own safety and those of his sister and best friend to save my life. After that my naturally logical and scientific mind led me to be inquisitive about how exactly that all happened. I soon learned the truth. I will admit at first I probably seemed freaked out to him. My problem was not with what he told me that he was. If I can do what I can do then why could not other beings exist who have abilities? It had to do with not knowing what he might have figured out about me or what else he might be able to do. That night he came over and paid me a visit. Apparently when he had healed me he had seen a rush of images of my life. He reversed that process and allowed me to connect with him and see his life. Max told everything or at least as much as he knew at the time. I made it my mission in life after that to protect them. Then Tess came to town and everything changed.

I won't go into details about what happened once Tess arrived. Suffice it to say that it leads to the demolition of my relationship with Max. It also leads to the death of my best friend, Alex at her hands. Once this was uncovered Tess was forced to leave by herself. I thought that maybe I could just try and pull myself back together and get my life back on track and just be done with Max. That was not allowed to happen though. The aliens seemed set against letting me walk away and my life kept getting more and more miserable. I had gone into a deep depression after Alex died and things in Roswell gave me little reason to climb out of it. Frequent confrontations with Max and the "pod squad" over my refusal to reinstate my relationship with Max once Tess was gone made my moods worse.

Eventually, something did happen that helped to bring me out of my depressed state. I got involved in a pen pal program at school hoping that maybe I could find a new interest in life. I've always wanted to see the world outside of Roswell and the idea of writing back and forth with someone who had other life experiences and lived somewhere else intrigued me. Even more amazing was to find a kindred spirit and someone I could relate to in that person. Then the most wonderful gift was given to me I got leave Roswell and come here. Then I may have blown it. To make things worse according to Nancy Parker, also known as, mom; I have a half-brother out there who I doubt even knows that I exists.

Tyler meanwhile was trying to decipher what Aaron had said. He knew that Aaron was a jerk and braggart which did not soften Tyler's' opinion of him at all. The part that he was focused on was the last one about Liz ruining his top. Why was he so upset over that, Aaron ruined plenty of his own tops and it's not like he couldn't replace them. The only other part that bothered Tyler was that he needed to know if Liz had been out with Aaron the other night.

He decided that as much as he did not like it he would have to talk with Aaron and find out exactly what had happened. Groaning inwardly he knew that he needed to head over to swim team practice. Looking at the clock once he got into the locker room Tyler realized that he was already late to practice. He changed and swiftly made his way out to do warm up laps. Once that was done he pulled himself out let someone else use the lane for a while. This was a first for Tyler and was noticed by his brothers. Usually, Tyler was the first one in and the last one out. Once practice ended He found himself cornered by Caleb, Reid, Pogue, Kate and Sarah. Caleb took the lead on questioning him, "What is going on?" Tyler sighed and knew that he had no choice but to tell the truth to the eldest. "It's Liz, during AP Bio. Aaron has the gal to come up to her and say, 'You truly are so not worth it. First you make a pass at me and then you start to play games with me at Nicky's. Then you go and ruin my best top. You will pay for that. Does Simms even have any idea what you are really? What kind of girl he is putting himself to if he takes you as a friend let alone anything else?' I don't even know what he was talking about." Caleb and Sarah each let out a breath that they had been holding. Sarah spoke up between the two of them. "Tyler, she got into town last night. Apparently, Aaron was her ride into town Caleb and I met her at Nicky's. On our way out we saw him ignoring her and play pool. Then when she went to leave and try and find her own way back he grabbed her and tried to start making out with her. She pushed her way off and away from him. He was pretty upset. Come to think of it looked liked his shirt had burn marks on it." Caleb sighed; "I tried to ignore it thinking that maybe I was imagining the sense of someone using." Sarah finished, "We ended up being the ones to give a ride back to campus when we saw her on the road side. I filled her in and told her that Aaron is a jerk and that he is supposedly dating Kyra."

Tyler started to try and process everything that he had just been told. The whole ordeal with Chase had taught the sons that anything was possible. He could not help thinking; If Chase's line had survived then was it possible that other lines may have as well? He knew none of them had siblings so that had to be the explanation, right. He could tell that Liz had been uncomfortable around him after her confrontation with Aaron. Now, he needed to find a way to let her know that he was not upset with her. He also needed to find out about Liz's connection to the power. He knew though that in that process he might expose himself and the rest of covenant if he was not careful.

Caleb Danvers was unsettled thinking about the fact that they thought Liz might have powers. If Liz was one of them then what line did she belong too and why did she look so familiar? These questions were bothering him as he left the pool after their conversation.

Reid Garwin, was no stranger to trouble. He also had no problem with using or with breaking and entering. Reid knew from various conquests that most girls kept a diary or journal in which to work out their dreams thoughts and feelings. He thought that maybe just maybe they could get some assurance or at least answers if he got a hold of that.

Reid waited until he saw Liz slipping out of her room finally, and used to get inside. There on Liz's bed was a blue spiral bound notebook. Opening it up Reid realized that Liz had rather conveniently left it out in the open. Grabbing it he swiftly made his way out and sent a text message to his brothers. Meet me at our room. I have something you should all see.
