Chapter 4
Liz
ran the entire way to the football field to meet Serena, Rath, and Ava on the
bleachers. She couldn't believe that Nicholas's people were already here in
Roswell. They believed that they would at least have a few more days. She would
never get a break. Please don't let anyone find out yet.
When
she reached the bleachers she was still deep in thought that she never realized
that someone was following her. Michael.
"Your
late." Stated Rath as soon as she appeared.
"No,
I'm early. Get a new watch." Replied Liz as she sat down on the bench cradling
her head in her hands. Her head was killing her. The flashes seemed to never
end. And she had to deal with him. This was not her week…wait…make that year.
"What
happened?" asked Serena as she gave a glare to Rath that told him to shut up or
I'll kill you myself right here.
"Nothing
I'm just getting these…headaches lately. That's all." Explained Liz. She wasn't
lying but she wasn't completely telling the truth either.
"Bullshit.
Why won't you trust us?" replied Rath who was starting to get pissed.
"Not
gonna happen, stud." Said Liz dryly as stood up to face him. He was not going
to get the best of her. She refused.
Under
the bleachers Michael was silently cheering her on. He never believed she could
stand up to anyone like that before. What ever happened to her in Sweden may
have had some good after effects. Probably not completely, but some good
sometimes does come out of bad things.
"Come
on. We saved you friggin' life. If it wasn't for us, right now you would be a
Kivar puppet."
"I
know that they would have been there," said Liz pointing to Ava and Serena,
"but as for you…you wouldn't have been there if you didn't figure out that
Lonnie was willing to sell your sorry ass out to hitch a right home and doing
little Nicholas."
"Hey
we're here to talk about how to help her get him from trying again, not dwell
on the past." Interrupted Serena.
"Excuse
me, but your entire existence here practically consists of the past." Stated
Liz as she sat back down after Rath walked away from her.
"And
the future." Said Serena. She saw Liz's head snap up. "Of course I know. I was
the one who helped him remember."
"You
remember?" asked Liz weakly. This was not happening. This was not happening. Oh
god.
"One
of the perks of helping invent the damn thing."
Liz
nodded as she continued. Suddenly she heard someone snort and she knew exactly
who it was.
"Michael
if you wanted to know this bad you might as well just up from under there."
Stated Liz loud enough for everyone to hear.
A
few second later Michael was making his way up the bleacher to sit beside Liz.
He suddenly felt a curtain protection over her. "Thanks." He whispered so only
she could hear.
She
nodded as Serena continued. "Liz you have got to be extremely careful. They are
here already; from the looks of you they have already started with the memory
imagery. Liz simply nodded again.
"Also
I have detected another connection out there, possibly to one of the females of
the four. Has any severe connection happened to any of them in the past year?"
Liz
quickly shot up after a few moments and walked towards Rath. "You and Lonnie
did something to Tess in New York. What did you do?"
I
can't believe I didn't even think of that, thought Michael as he watched her
interrogate Rath. He laughed to himself. Seemingly inappropriate but the look
on his face was priceless.
"Nothing
major. We just tried to connect to the granolith through her." Stated Rath
calmly after he got rid of the shock of Liz practically attacking him with
questions.
"You
son of a bitch. Do you have any idea what you have done?" asked Serena as she
got up and pulled Liz alone with her to leave. She could not believe this was
happening. The things that could be happening to Tess, almost unimaginable.
Michael
quickly got up and followed the two girls. "What could happen?"
"Because
of the connection she could be experiencing memories of her past life except
they won' t seem like memories, but real. Like they are truly happening. Such
as pain, emotions, a broken leg, sex, or even a pregnancy. It would be as if
she were channeling her past life." Explained Serena as the headed toward the
building. "Is anything like that happening?"
"Tess
thinks she is pregnant."
"Oh."
Replied both women at once. Liz was shocked. This all was happening way to
fast.
"Alright.
Um…this may seem really personally but what did it feel like?" All Serena
received was a confused look from both of them so she continued. "Was it like a
normal…orgasm or was it like…god…um…like floating?"
"Max
said floating." Answered Michael still confused. What was this all supposed to
mean?
"That
means it was a memory. Not real. She not really pregnant but her mind believes
that it is. Memories are very atmospheric I guess you could say…but they are
every light. That gives the impression when something in high intensity happens
that the person feels to be floating almost. The effect could last for some
time."
When
she finished they both looked at her in relief. When they were about to enter
the school, Liz had another attach from above. The flashes came with such
intense pain that she collapsed in Michael's arms and let the tears fall. She
cried for everything that was happening. But she refused to cry for herself.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Max and the gang watched them from the other side of the quad. What was happening? Since when did Michael comfort Liz? Who was the new girl with them? "What happened, Liz just seemed to break into hysterics for no reason" said Isabel
"I don't know but we are going to find out…" they all started to walk towards them with determination. With Maria and Kyle running ahead, they had a feeling something was about to happen.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"It is finally going to happen."
"We're going home, Lonnie. Count on it."
