PART 3-Alternate Universe
"Khivar." Tess whispered.
"Khivar?" the others asked, rather surprised.
"Are you sure, Tess? I mean, how do you know?"
Max asked. The question caught Tess totally off guard.
"I, I just know. The memories, Max." She replied.
"OMG! It really is Khivar!" Isabel screamed. She
had a flash. It was of her and Khivar, together, on
the beach, talking. *About what?* she wondered.
"What is it Iz, do you have memories too?"
Michael asked her.
"I just had a flash." Isabel replied.
"You can save your breath. Of course I am Khivar.
Who else has the power to do what I just did?" Khivar
questioned.
"OMG! What are we gonna do?" Isabel screamed.
"Max, you have to do something! This is my wedding
day!" Max reached out and hugged Isabel. He passed her
into Michael's arms and began to prep his powers. He'd
need a strong bolt of electricity to kill Khivar.
"This is for you Iz!" He shouted. Then he sent
out a huge blast to Khivar. He went down, and
dissolved into dust.
"Khivar!" Tess screamed. "No!"
"Tess, he's gone now, it's alright. He only came
to Earth to hurt us. Don't mourn his death." Max said.
He was trying to comfort her.
"Maybe so Max, but he was our only way of getting
home." Tess sobbed.
"Earth is out home now. It'll be okay." Max said.
"You guys, what about time? It's probably gonna
unfreeze soon." Michael told them as he let go of
Isabel.
"Michale's right. Everyone get back to their
places. It's gonna be kay Iz, your wedding day isn't
ruined yet." Max told her.
"Thanks, Max. I know." Isabel replied. They all
walked back to their places and waited for time to
start again.
----------------------"Do you take Isabel to be
you lawfully wedded wife..."
"I do."
"With the placement of these rings..."
"I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss
the bride."
"I love you." She whispered into his ear.
"I love you too." The two of them walked down the
aisle together, never to be seperated again. Or so
they hoped.
A FEW DAYS LATER...
Tess was gone again on business. It was the
third time that week. Ever since Isabel and Alex's
wedding, she had been gone a lot. It's not that it
worried him, but he wanted to know where she was. But
there was reallt nothing he could do about it. It was
business after all.
Tess walked down the street toward her old
apartment in NY. She was there to help Khivar. Max's
blast had hurt him, bad...but he wasn't dead, yet. And
Tess would help him recover. It would be a long and
grueling process, but she would do it. She would wait
for him, just like she had before. And once he was
well again, he would take her home. They would rule
over Antar as king and queen. Khivar and Vilandra,
together again. What about Max and the others? Well,
they would survive. And if they didn't? It wasn't her
problem. She'd be home, with her one and only true
love. She'd have to tell Max eventually. But only when
she was just about to leave, when there was no way he
could stop her. No question that he would not get in
the way. Then she would tell him. Tell him thta she
was Vilandra. That he had no sister, Isabel was Ava
and they were never married on thier home planet. No
one was married. Vilandra and Zan had been engaged,
but then Vilandra had met Khivar. She had betrayed Zan
for Khivar. Ava and Rath, now they had also been
engaged, but their's was true love. It had all been a
lie. A ploy to get back home. But now that Khivar was
here, it needed not go on any longer. She would give
him the book too. The book that would tell him how to
gte home. If he wanted to return someday, she should
at least help him, that's what wives are for. But
after that, she wouldn't owe him anything. Not a damn
thing. She and Khivar would be very happy together.
And should Max decide to return home, then they both
would take pleasure in watched him suffer and die. For
all those times with Liz...she thought. Then she
walked into her apartment.
"Khivar, I've missed you."
"I've missed you too."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
They all knew something weird had happened at the
wedding. All the checkoslavakians were acting strange.
All except for Isabel of course. She was as happy as
ever. She had just gotten married. But Liz, Maria,
Kyle and Alex knew something had happened. They didn't
know when, the wedding had gone perfectly. They didn't
know until the reception. Max told Liz, Maria and Kyle
to come to the back room. He told them everything,
about freezing time, Khivar, Khivar's death, and how
it all didn't seem real somehow. They were all in
shock after that. Isabel didn't tell Alex until they
were on their honeymoon. It was beautiful. They went
to the Bahamas for a week, and they loved it. Alex was
shocked to hear the news too, but no one worried about
it. They all knew Khivar was dead. Just one less
problem right? Little did they know it would soon
become their biggest problem ever.
