11:00pm
Michael sat at the edge of the quarry idly throwing stones into the black nothingness.
He'd taken to visiting here. It was near the granolith but not so he would reveal it.
There was no Max to give orders, no Tess to whine about Max not giving orders no
Isobel to complain about how she wanted things to say. No Liz with her eyes full of
pain. But no Maria. He would never admit it to anyone how much he had come to
depend on her. She was his touchstone. If only he could tell her that. He stood up
and brushed off his jeans. Looking up at the stars he knew that he wasn't the only
one looking for answers in the heavens tonight.

12:30am.

Liz ran the brush through her hair and switched off the bedroom light. Immediatly
the moon which had been held back by man made illumination flooded the room
turning her skin into a milky iced shimmer. She closed her eyes and let sleep crawl
over her at snail pace.

Turning Max could see Liz standing in the middle of the road. He could see the
way the moon played on her skin and hair creating a reaction deep in his stomach
Her eyes looked beyond him though and he turned to see what held her gaze.
The masses of eyes that looked back at him sent a shiver along the hairs at the back
of his neck and he turned to Liz to reassure her only to see Nicholas standing
beside her. His hand was pressed against her head and another along her
stomach. The place where he had healed her. Max felt the flash of energy that
passed through Liz's body before he saw it. He threw up a sheild around her
but the blood ran through Nicholas's hands turning his vision the same colour.
With a primal roar he threw out his arm to the crowd of skins that were
approaching him. Flames sprang up consuming each one of them and Liz dropped
to the floor. Picking her up he let his hand check her energy and groaned to
feel it slipping away /NO THIS CAN'T BE STAY WITH ME LIZ STAY
WITH MEEE!!!/ Shouting to the heavens he sat in the street with his love in
his arms and ashes falling like snow around them.

Liz sat up with a gasp feeling at that exact moment Max do the same.
She tried to calm the shaking that spilled through her body and pulled
the bed clothes up tighter around her. Her eyes wide and frightened
she realised that the dream she had just dreamt could be a premonition.
She sank back towards the pillows and closed her eyes again. The only
sound disturbing the silence was the whisper of Max's name from her
lips.
