Chapter 3

"So what your saying is that they showed up, healed her, told you to get me and meet them on the bleachers after lunch today and left."

"Basically…Liz said not to let the other four know about last night yet. She was acting really…well not Liz." Answered Maria to Kyle's question as they walked down the halls of the school.

"Do think they might be hurting her?" asked Kyle.

"I don't think so. Rath or whatever seemed kind of protective over her. It was extremely strange to say the least." They walked into bio, which they shared with Max, Tess, Michael and Liz.

"Just for the record, I don't want to be around when Liz finds out Tess is pregnant." Whispered Kyle as they took their seats behind Max and Tess. Liz still hadn't arrived in class.

Just as the late bell sounded and Liz rushed into class shocking the trio. She took her seat beside Michael who just stared at her. "What?"

"Oh…um nothing. When did you get back?" whispered Michael as they pretended to listen to the teacher's lecture about their next lab.

"What happened to you?" asked Max from behind, meaning the few scratched on her face and her split lip.

"I was playing basketball with Maria and I fell. No big deal." Replied Liz dryly. She was mad at him. No mad was and understatement.

Michael snorted at her reply. He remembered that that was the excuse Max had used last year when Kyle' s friends beat him up. Seeing how taken aback Max was at her comment he quickly cleared his throat and went back to his work. When he finally started to finish, Liz dropped her pen on the floor causing him to look up. She had her hands on her head. He reached down and grabbed her pen off the floor as someone walked in the door and left.

"Liz." Michael whispered as he grabbed her shoulder. As soon as his hand came into contact with her he was bombarded with a rush of flashes that seemed to him to be of a battle of some sorts. People running, screaming, guns firing, smoke, fire, death. He whipped his hand away, before he could say anything the teacher beat him to it.

"Liz, there is someone in the hall that wishes to speak to you, take your things with you, class will be ending soon."

Liz nodded and gathered her things, ignoring Michael's constant stare as she walked out the door.

"What happened?" hissed Tess as soon as Liz had left the classroom.

"I don't know." Replied Michael he looked over at Max then quickly raised his hand.

"Yes, Mr. Guerin?"

"Can I get a bathroom pass?" asked Michael a little anxious. He knew something was up with Liz and he was going to find out.

He picked up his bag, grabbed the pass and headed out the door. Searching the hall for her, gazed down in the direction of her locker then quickly turned his head in the other direction when he found nothing. He found her and she wasn't alone. A man held from behind, his hand over her mouth forcibly as he whispered something in her ear.

"Liz!"

Instead of the man turning around his simply…disappeared, leaving a very shaken Liz. Michael ran up to her before she had a chance to fall like he knew she was about to.

"Hey…hey…look at me, Liz. What happened?"

"I…I…um…I have to go." Whispered Liz as she slowly backed out of his hold on her, refusing to look him in the eye. "Please don't tell anyone…not yet please…"

"Liz…why…what's going on?" whispered Michael.

"I…I'll tell you later." With that she ran out of the building.

"I give her a week. She won't be able to take them for much longer."

"You had better make sure."

"Don't worry, Nicholas."
