"Right now?" Isabel half squealed excitedly. She was glad to have the other girl from their Royal Four, though she was starting to like Liz and Maria, after she got over the initial shock that she wasn't the only girl anymore.
"As we speak, I saw the entering New Mexico sign. It was like I was sitting in the car with them, really intense like that." Kyle said smiling while running his fingers through his hair awkwardly.
"What if she doesn't know about us? What if your guy's protector didn't tell her everything like ours didn't tell us?" Alex said half coldly.
"We'll find out when she gets here then won't we?" Max said rhetorically, "Besides I have this really strange feeling she knows all about us."
Days passed by and there was still yet to be a new student or a girl around that matched Kyle's description. Well, there weren't even any students. So, they continued with their new routine, going to school during the day practicing their powers at night. Michael had only accidentally blown up a few things about two times in three days so that made Maria be less on guard for fear of being blown up. He had also gotten a protection shield up and could control it like the others.
Max was progressing well enough, being able to make a thicker and thicker shield everyday. They were starting to be able to withstand Liz's attacks. Isabel could make hers stay up too, but Alex's fire was either a little too much for her shield, or she was too busy paying attention to his eyes. Which it was Kyle was sure but they started making the "soul mate eyes" that Maria and him dubbed the look to each other like Max and Liz had a short while before them. Personally Kyle was sick of everybody else having someone, even if it was to annoy he thought referring to Michael and Maria.
So there they all stood in the desert as they had come to do every weeknight, because of the encouragement of Max, Isabel, and Michael to attempt to "fine tune" their powers and make them grow. They didn't care how long it would take.
Max and Maria stood together. Since everyone decided to switch partners to see if there would be differences in shield resistance from the different types of powers.
"So Max, ya ready for some wind?" Maria looked at him as his brown hair blew slightly in the wind and her short blonde hair, stood still. She'd been meaning to make it grow longer.
"Do I have a choice?" He said faking pouting and she laughed at him, waving her hand towards him a gust blew and knocked him to the ground, "Hey no fair, I wasn't ready." He said standing up smiling dusting off his pants.
"You always have to be ready." Her eyes darkened and she became serious, but just as quickly she went back to her spunky self, "Err.sorry about that; lots of reinforcement with that kind of stuff from when I was little." She shrugged and looked at Michael, Liz, and Alex who were all practicing their powers on each other. Liz looked thoroughly amused as Alex as what he would later say was "accidental", caught Michael's pant leg on fire.
"Dammit, Alex. That hurts." Michael said trying to shake his pant leg out but only feeding the fire. It looked like he was dancing, and dancing badly. Kyle turned around smirking and quickly put it out then turned back to Isabel. Michael glared at Alex, who was laughing at him while Liz covered her mouth with her hand.
Max frowned at Maria and raised his hand as she flung a small whirlwind towards him. He had come to the conclusion that all girls were weird, he always though Isabel was weird since he had to put up with all her girlyness since they lived together. He thought Liz was weird because whenever they would stand close to each other she would start talking about science and back away. Now he thought Maria was weird because she would stare at Michael the whole time but as soon as they spoke to each other, she would argue with him. Thus, girls are weird.
Max blocked the whirlwind with his shield and smiled, "Hey I did it for yours this is good stuff."
"Yep good job, now we'll take it up a notch, bam!" Maria said trying to impersonate Emeril the chef, "Sorry about that I couldn't resist, anyways I'll make it stronger this time." She continued to make the winds stronger and stronger until the broke through and knocked Max over.
"Bravo, good thing we're not the FBI or you all would be dead right now." A bald man walked up to them all with a short blonde walking behind him who was looking at the ground.
"Tess?" Kyle asked her unsurely. He couldn't see her face but it did look like her hair. The bald man was the protector from the vision, Nacedo.
Tess looked up her blue eyes gleaming and he could feel her confusion, "Who are you?" She asked him putting her hands around herself like she had the tendency to do in awkward situations.
"I'm going to take it that you didn't tell her about her past?" Max asked him angrily. He would be angry if someone new all about him for so long who he was close to and knew what he was but still didn't tell him.
"No, he did really. I know all about our destiny; about our destiny too." She said pointing between herself and Max.
He raised his eyebrow at her, "Well I don't think he's told you the right information because we have no destiny together. We were married on Antar only so our planets would ally."
She looked at him thoroughly confused and then to Nacedo, and back and forth a couple times finally resting her eyes on the protector, "You lied to me?"
"Of course I didn't lie." His nervousness washed over the empaths and they could feel that he knew quite well that he was a liar, "I told you what you needed to know."
"So you withheld information from me is that it? Not telling me the whole story when I want to know everything is what I would call lying!" She shouted at him.
"Whoa, whoa calm down. I'm sure he has a viable explanation." Maria said knowing quite well that he probably didn't. Tess looked at her unsurely, but trusted her instead.
"Fine what do you have to say?" She asked him turning her attention back.
"I." Nacedo began not having anything to say. He knew quite well that she had a destiny with Kristien, or Kyle now; he also knew everything but was keeping the truth from her to try to form what he thought would save Antar, but he could already tell know that he had been wrong all along. They're stronger together, "I must leave." He said turned around in place and then walked back towards the vehicle that had brought him and Tess there.
Everyone stood looking dumbstruck as his figure disappeared into the desert, and Alex opened his mouth smirking, "I wonder what got his knickers in a twist." He laughed breaking the awkward silencing. Maria started to laugh with him and the others continued.
"So what now?" Liz asked them all, "I mean your protector came and left in the mean time dropping off your fourth. I don't like him, I'm glad he left."
"Well Tess has to find somewhere to stay. I mean there's nowhere else for her to go." Max said taking the leader position as usual.
"Hey people, I'm right here." Tess said raising her hand.
"They're sorry." Maria said adding to the conversation, and Tess smiled at her. Michael looked at her, having not spoken since she arrived.
"How do we know we can trust you?" Michael asked her, always taking precaution. Maria glared at him but he didn't pay attention. He had to protect the ones he cared for and if she was anything like Nacedo he didn't think she could be trusted.
"I guess you don't." She replied as Isabel looked at her warily, "I'm not trying to be some burden or someone you should have to fear but I don't know how to make you able to trust me."
"I trust you; I mean we must have trusted you before you know?" Isabel said to her smiling.
"We're not the same people that we were before. At least I hope not." She replied.
"What do you mean by that?" Kyle asked her.
"Well, let's just say that not all of us were trustworthy on our other planets."
"No, let's not and how about you tell us the truth." Michael said angrily.
Tess smiled sadly, "On the other planet, one of us was mind raped and thoughts were planted into their head to make them join Khivar's side. They turned in their other three, and the other four were soon next. He killed us with the information she gave them."
"She?" Liz asked. If it was her her father would have told her this information wouldn't he? He couldn't be so able to trust her, if it was her, but he told me before that our four died second so that only left.
"Vilandra.or Isabel now." Tess said locking eyes with Isabel.
Isabel shook her head, "No.no I wouldn't betray you all like that. It couldn't have been me. It couldn't have." She looked down tears threatening to spill from her eyes. Alex looked at her and pulled her close as she sniffed back the tears and pulled away.
"It wasn't really you. None of us are what we were before, and even back then it wasn't you, because he controlled you to do those things."
"So I will semi-quote a girl I know and say where do we go from here?" Kyle asked them all as they stood in a circle, which they unconsciously made when Tess came.
"Let's go back to town, all this news is giving me a headache." Maria said smiling.
"Sounds like a plan to me." Alex replied.
"So, Tess where do you want to stay?" Max asked her.
"I want to stay with Kyle. I feel the most comfortable with him, and I guess I'll start school with you?"
"It's not really a good idea for you two to live together, you know with the whole raging hormones thing." Maria stated smugly.
"Maria!" Liz blurted at her friend's sudden outburst.
"What? It's true, I mean you wouldn't want to give people the wrong idea about incest or something."
"Maria!" Liz said again.
"She's right, how about I stay with you Maria?" Tess asked her highly amused. She could tell already that she would get along with them all. Forgetting the years of drilling destiny into her head would be the hard part.
"It's fine with me; we'll just have to ask my mom."
"Well we better get going its getting dark out." Alex said noticing the quickly darkening desert sky. His favorite place to be was out under the stars in the desert where he felt closer to his other home, but not tonight.
So they all made their way to the Jetta and Jeep. Max, Liz, Alex and Isabel got into the Jetta and Maria, Michael, Kyle, and Tess got into the Jetta.
Maria climbed into the driver's seat with Michael in the passengers seat and Kyle and Tess in the back.
"You're not a backseat driver are you?" Maria asked her as she put the key into the ignition then looked at her through the rearview mirror. She hated backseat drivers just about as much as she hated running out of cedar oil.
"Oh no, when Nacedo and I would travel, I always had to be quiet. We didn't have a radio either."
"Oh wow that's horrible, you're allowed to talk in here all you want sing along with the radio I don't care just don't tell me how to drive." Maria said glaring pointedly at Michael who had tried to tell her how to once.
They drove with occasional chatter from the backseat as Kyle asked Tess about her childhood and Michael occasionally told Maria to slow down or speed up, causing him to receive a slap on the side of the head.
"Spaceboy, how many times have I told you not to tell me how to drive?" She said coming to a stop gripping the steering wheel.
"Oh about ten or fifteen times I'd say."
"Do they always do this?" Tess whispered leaning over to Kyle getting used to being around him. Nacedo never let her see or talk to any boys. She was only allowed to look at pictures of Max, Michael, and Isabel so she'd seen many pictures of them and the same pictures got very old. She liked to study Kyle's every feature right down to his sideburns.
"Oh yeah, this is just how they flirt. Alex and I have a bet going when they're going to let their hormones lead the way. I have to come to terms with the fact that she's my sister, and I accept Michael, because I know I could just drown him or something." Kyle said laughing at the end.
"We're not flirting." Maria said glaring at him through the mirror.
"Oh no, we don't have to hide it any longer, honey." Michael said trying his best to fake seriousness.
Maria pulled into the driveway of her house, where the Jeep was already, and once she parked slapped Michael upside the head again.
"You are abusive, has anyone ever told you that?" Michael asked rubbing his head as they got out.
"No just you, you must be special."
"Hitting Michael again I see, Maria?" Isabel asked her smiling as she stood next to Alex.
"Of course."
"Well you talk to your Mom and we'd better get going before our parents go berserk." Max said, so they said their goodbyes; leaving Maria and Tess standing in the driveway watching the Jeep drive away.
"Oh you can go sit up on the porch, I have to get the cot, and I'll be right back." Maria said to her. Tess nodded and walked up the steps. Maria turned and walked to shed at the back of the house, where it was dark. She opened the door and heard a noise behind her. She turned around cautiously, "Who's there? Tess?" She asked waiting for a reply, when she didn't get one she turned back around thinking she must have heard something, but then she felt a slight fear and rise of power wash over her. Maria could tell whose feeling it was, Nacedo.
"You, what're you doing here?" She asked him looking around trying to find where he was. He didn't answer and the electricity rose in the air causing the hairs on the back of her neck so stand up.
He raised his hand and the electricity buildup coursed through his hand straight into Maria's stomach.
"Ow!" She yelled from her knocked down position. Tess heard her and came running back.
"What're you doing here, I thought you left?" Tess asked then looked at Maria' form on the ground as she then stood up and brushed herself off putting up her shield, "You blasted her what were you thinking?" She demanded.
"I was thinking that I would get rid of the Anterrians while I had the chance, so you can go back to the destiny that I had planned for you."
"I don't think so buddy." Maria raised let down her shield and sent a strong gust of wind at him knocking him to the ground hitting his head, causing him to pass out. They didn't call her Hurricane DeLuca for nothing.
"What do we do know?" Tess asked her as she looked at the unconscious form lying on the ground.
"I don't know let's check to see if he has anything on him." Maria said kneeling besides him cautiously making sure he wasn't moving. She lifted the side of his shirt checking for a gun, but she found a button like mark on his body.
"What's this?" Maria asked her confused. Tess came over beside her and looked, her eyes widening.
"He's a skin!"
"A who?"
"A skin; they're Khivar's followers, if you press the bottom the body will disappear and they'll cease to be." She said putting her hand on the skin surrounding the button. It was rough and brittle, pieces came off in her hand and she wiped them away.
"He's a Relevian. He's the enemy we have to get rid of him." Maria said. Tess nodded and they pressed down the button together and he turned to dust.
Just then the back door opened and Amy DeLuca stepped out, "What's going on back here?" She asked her daughter thoroughly confused.
"Hey Mom, meet Tess." Maria started as they all went into the house, and she told her all about Tess. Amy already knew who and what Maria was since after Brian left and was fine with it. Tess added things to the explanation as they went along.
"You can stay here as long as you like. You could live here! Oh, I've always wanted two daughters." She said hugging them both. Maria patted her mother on the back knowing how emotional she could get so easily. Tess didn't know what to do and just stood there awkwardly.
Hey please review. I know this chapter wasn't as good as it could have been but I really didn't know what to write, I am on the edge of writer's block. So any ideas are welcome and happily accepted!
