A/N; Ok First let me say thank you to my reviewers. 2nd, Thank you for your patience. I know it's been awhile since my last real update. I just want to warn you that it's a very short chapter. I promise the next chapter will be longer. You'll understand the reason at the next update.
Recap:
Before anything else could be said, the back door flew open as thunder and lightening struck outside. Sensing dangerous Liz immediately wrapped the four of them in a force shield.
They all braced themselves thinking the worst Khivar had found them yet again. It wasn't until the figure came in more clearly that they became completely in shock, "it can't be?"
Chapter 8
"Hello Max," a female figure's voice spoke, a voice none of them thought they'd ever hear again, "I need your help."
Liz immediately wrapped a force field between her boyfriend, brother and totally out of line friend along with herself. She didn't trust the person in front of them.
Max, she doesn't know Alex is alive, she sent a message to Max through their bond.
Don't worry, she won't find out.
Liz smiled, "Well Tess. We didn't expect you to ever return again."
Tess scowled at Liz's voice. Tess hadn't known that she was there because Max had been blocking Liz from her view. "What are you doing here?"
"Having a Royal Four meeting?" Liz answered while mentally tightening the force shield so that it grew smaller to protect the four encased.
"Max really there is no need for that shield I'm not here to hurt you," Tess addressed while holding a baby in her arms and bouncing it as to calm it down.
"What makes you think I'm the one holding up the shield," Max asked.
"Yeah it could be me or Michael," Isabel concurred with Max.
"Oh please Michael having enough control to produce a shield," Tess laughed. "That's like saying that pathetic little Liz is an alien."
Tess knew Liz was an alien but the other three aliens didn't know she knew or at least not to her knowledge.
"Tess why would we want to help you," Isabel asked. "You killed my boyfriend," she yelled.
"That was to protect us," Tess said with conviction.
"We don't help murderers or traitors," Michael stated through clenched teeth.
"Well then help me for Max's son's sake," Tess asked. "Khivar's after me and him. He was rejected for the thrown."
"Oh you poor little thing Tess, you conned Max into sleeping with you and now you don't have a legitimate heir to the thrown?" Liz asked amused. "Let me at her. I'll snap her neck in two."
"Not before I get to her first," Michael and Isabel spoke stereo.
"You kill me you kill the baby," Tess said desperately.
The baby is human Max, it's not possible, Liz connected with Max.
I know but let's just play along and see where this goes, Max connected back.
"Fine Tess you win nothing happens to you or the baby for now," Max stated. "One false move and we'll be testing that theory of yours about the bond you have with that baby."
"Thank you," Tess groveled.
"Don't thank us yet," Isabel grumbled. "What did you exactly do to tick off Khivar?"
"Well I return to Antar to claim the throne and bring the heir. I had no idea that they would put the baby through a testing process. Anyway they tested Lucas and came up with nothing. Khivar ordered a death warrant on me and the baby because I had failed my mission."
"Now Khivar is after you? I don't believe a word you're saying Tess. Why should we help you, you've done nothing but destroy our lives ever since you introduced yourself to us. You killed Kyle and Alex. Max got to Kyle in time but he was too late for Alex. Alex was the one person who had never harmed anyone! You stole Max from Liz not a good move I might add and you've lead our enemies right towards us. Do you hate us that much?" Isabel ranted.
