Disclaimer: I do not own Roswell or the Covenant. I am simply putting forth some of my own ideas for fun. This is my thoughts on what might have happened had things gone differently after Departure in Roswell. The movie has already happened for the Covenant.

Liz was not get a peaceful nights rest that night though. The whole situation weighed on her like a ton of bricks. She knew that Reid was most likely right about how to handle things with telling Caleb but she still wanted him to know about her. Tonight things had been cleaned up between her and Tyler at least for now. However, that still left her dealing with Kyra and Tess. Neither of which was a subject that would allow her to get any rest tonight. Aside from the fact that Tess was forcing her back into the alien abyss which she wanted nothing to do with there was another issue. Tess had not seemed surprised so much by Liz's powers so much as taken aback by the timing of the attack. That left another nagging question in Liz's mind unanswered, what all did Tess know about Liz and her powers? Then there was Kyra and the fact that Kyra was apparently a nosey person. Liz had become accustomed to a certain degree of secretiveness despite living in the small town of Roswell. This was something that she sensed in Reid and the others as well. That made her a completely incompatible roommate for someone like Kyra.
Unable to sleep still after several hours Liz decided to get up and go for a walk. Liz slipped on her jeans and a sweater and slipped on some running shoes. She went down the stairs as quietly as she could and out into the night. She began to walk over in the area where the schools dorm buildings were bordered by trees hoping to find some peace and solace before going into the dorm to get ready for another day of classes. She was grateful in one respect for the school uniforms. It took the challenge out of choosing what to wear every day.
As she approached the tree lined area she felt really uncomfortable all of a sudden. It was like she was being watched and that was not something that Liz liked. Liz had always liked having a little bit of privacy and in turn she usually gave that respect to others. As she came closer and closer the feeling became stronger and more insistent. Liz looked around and attempted to find the source of that rather uncomfortable gaze. She could not find anyone any matter how had she looked though. That made her feel even more awkward. She was apparently becoming paranoid due to all of the recent events in her life. Deciding that there was not anyone watching her Liz Parker continued her walk in the direction that she had been going.
As she approached a spot in the woods she found herself suddenly lost into a lot thicker of a forest than she had thought. Then suddenly there in front of her stood a boy who had hazel eyes but his brown hair was graying in many places. The boy smirked at her as if he knew things that Liz herself did not. The boy snapped his fingers and bound her placing a golden glow around her and laying her on her back. The boy the stepped forward and spoke for the first time. "I think that it is time that I introduce myself since you've already met the other sons. My name is Chase Collins or rather Chase Pope. I'm the other son of Ipswitch. It is interesting to find that one of the lines managed to produce and hide a daughter. You realize by now I hope that you have the power just as they do. I was amazed when I first sensed your power. I thought that only the five families were left after the damnation. Then I watched you for a while through that imbecile Tess. She had such a one track mind and would have done anything destroy your relationship with the others there in Roswell. She didn't even realize what you were. She just wanted you out of the way. I had to do all of the thinking and planning for her. I lost track of you for a while once Tess disappeared. Then imagine my surprise when you should end up here. Have you even told any of the others who you are? No, you probably have not they probably haven't even talked to you about that yet. Though I am sure they have sensed the power with you. I know that they did with me. This has just been a friendly chat I will see you around I'm sure. "
Meanwhile, Reid Garwin could not sleep for the first time ever. He had done a lot of things some of them even regrettable. One thing that he had never done though was keep secrets from his brothers especially Tyler. Now here he was doing exactly that. He knew that Liz was one of them and Caleb's sister to boot. Yet, he had not shared this information with Tyler. It was regrettable that he could not tell Tyler without risking Caleb finding out prematurely since Tyler was the world worst liar. This was not something that made him comfortable at all. Finally, Reid decided that he did need to tell Tyler. In spite of the risk of Caleb finding out he deserved to know this information since it might change things between Tyler and Liz. Looking over at his best friend Reid decided that he would have o wait until morning to tell him. He could not bring himself to wake Tyler up to have this conversation. So, Reid Garwin got up and did something that he rarely did, homework. He gathered his school supplies and was just getting ready to start working on an English assignment when he felt his phone go off. It was a text message from Liz. It read: I need help now. Deciding that this was an emergency Reid reached out with his powers and searched for Liz's location. It had always been something that he was good at and he was grateful for that. He found Liz in the lounge and she crumpled up in on herself on the floor. Reid's first thoughts were that she was hurt of sick. There was a problem with that theory though. This was Caleb's sister, she was one of them and they do not get sick. They could however be hurt by other usage. That however was also a wrong theory. He was the only one of them who knew about Liz and none of them would use on her. Then again it could be one of the aliens didn't Liz's journal say something about them having powers too. Suddenly, Liz snapped her gaze up to meet his own. "You're wrong about that. You're not the only one of you who knows about me." That got a quizzical look from the Garwin heir. It was then that Liz said the one thing finally made some sense of it, "Chase". The name brought a sour look to Reid's face and he made a quick decision. The Garwin heir quickly lifted the obviously hurting girl up off of the floor and brought her up to the room that he shared with Tyler.
Reid knew that he would probably have a lot of explaining to do but right now he did not care. What mattered right now was the girl in his arms who needed their help. It was a weakness and one that Reid was careful to keep well concealed. He cared about those put into his life. If his parents had needed him he would have been there. Anytime one of his brothers needed someone to have their back he was the first to jump in with both feet. He would do anything to help them. He was already starting to feel that way about Liz too even though he had only known her a short time.
Once they reached the dorm room Reid laid her down on his bed and went to get a cool cloth made for her. Once the cloth was ready Reid placed it over her eyes so that her head could find some relief from her pain. The next thing that came to his mind was absolutely out of the question. He would have if this been any other girl turned her over and used while giving her a massage to relieve her pains. That was not a possibility this time. This was Liz, she was meant for Tyler and he knew where his friend's feelings stood. That alone would have been reason enough for Reid to back off. There was yet one more reason though she was also Caleb's sister and he knew that brother would never approve of Reid for her once he found out.
[A/n: What do you think will happen next? How do you think Tyler will react when he wakes up?]
