PART 7-THE TRUTH
Liz woke up to find the curtains open and a
slight breeze blowing through the window. The sun
shined brightly on her face, and she remembered last
night. It had been wonderful. Her first time, and it
was with Max. She couldn't have been happier if she
tried.
"Max..." She whispered. Liz rolled over,
expecting to find Max there with her, in her bed,
probably asleep. But he wasn't there. An alarmed Liz
jumped out of bed, pulled on a robe and ran into the
hallway. She listened carefully for any noise. When
she didn't hear anything she ran to the bathroom. It
was empty. Liz then proceeded to walk down the stairs,
even though her mind was racing, she had enough sense
to walk normally down the stairs, so if Max was there,
he wouldn't think she was crazy. Liz walked into the
living room, it was empty too. Then she heard
something coming from the downstairs bathroom. Max was
taking a shower. Liz walked into the bathroom, very
relieved. Not that she believed Max would have left,
but still.
"You didn't have to come all the way down here to
take a shower you know." Liz said.
"I know, I just didn't want to wake you. I know
you're a pretty light sleeper."
"Oh do you?"
"I do." Max said.
"Hmm," Liz said, thinking fondly of all the times
she had woken up next to Max, "I'm going to make
breakfast, so hurry up, okay?"
"Great, I'm starving." Max replied. Liz left the
bathroom and closed the door behind her. She went into
the kitchen and began to make pancakes. Then she
remembered that it was only Tuesday and that she had
to work at 11:00. *OMG!* Liz thought. *What time is
it???* She glanced up at the clock and saw that it was
10:45. *Shit.*
"Max! Max, get out here!" Liz shouted. She ran
towards the bathroom door and collided into Max as he
stepped out of the shower.
"What's wrong?" Max asked her.
"I'm late! I'm gonnamiss my first clas, Max I've
gotta go. I'm so sorry, I completly lost track of
time! That is so unlike me..."
"Woah, woah. Slow down. You're late for work.
It'll be okay. Just call in sick. You'll go in later,
or you can take a day off, whatever. Just relax." Max
said, soothingly. Liz looked up ay him. He always knew
what to say to make her feel better. She loved him so
much for that.
"Thanks, Max."Liz said, appreciativly.
"No problem." Max replied. Liz walked through the
kitchen and up the stairs to get dressed. She called
work and told them that something had come up and that
she was running really late. Then she got ready and
came back downstairs. Max was dressed and ready for
work as well. She kissed him good morning.
"I have to go soon, I told them I was running
really late, and that something had come up."
"Okay. Do you want something to drink?" Max
asked.
"Umm, yeah, coffee'd be great, thanks." Liz
replied.
"Here you go." Max said, sliding the coffee
across the table towards her.
"When do you have to be at work?" Liz asked.
"Not till later."
"Oh."
"Liz?"
"Yeah?"
"What's gonna happen now? Are we together, or
what?" Max asked.
"I know what you said, Max, but I think you, I
mean you from now...were right, things can work out
now, I hope. And maybe we can work things otu with the
others. Especially Tess, cus she was the problem in
the first place...I guess what I'm trying to say, Max,
is that, I'm willing to try our relationship again if
you are." Liz looked up at him. He was beaming. He
leaned across the table.
"I love you, Liz."
"I love you too." They kissed. A few minutes
later Liz pulled away from Max.
"I've really gotta go now."
"Ok, fine. I'll call you tonight, okay?"
"You'd better. Bye."
"Bye." Liz said, and left. Max then finished up
his coffee and toast, gathered up his things, and left
Liz's house, locking the door behind him.
--------------------
"Khivar, is it time?" Tess asked.
"Yes, Vilandra, I think the time has come to kill
the others. It's obvious now, with the connections
they've made, that they will not be willing to come
home. It's best we just get rid of them. We will
return to Antar and rule as King and Queen. I always
wanted you as my queen, Vilandra."
"And I've always wanted to be a queen, Khivar. I
shall get the three of them together, at Max's
apartment in San Fransisco. You will be there as well,
hidden at first. Once they are all there, I will tell
them I have reason to believe that you survived the
attack at the wedding. Once we have come up with a
plan and Max takes control, you will come out and use
your powers to kill him. I will mindwarp the others
while you kill them as well. The plan is perfect,
Khivar. It can't fail."
"I know, Vilandra. It is perfect. We will once
and for all be rid of the others, the heirs to the
throne. Then we shall have the people of Antar at our
disposal."
"Perfect." Tess said, and proceeded to call
Isabel, Michael, and Max, telling them of her
emergency and to meet at Max's apartment as soon as
possible. Khivar zapped him and Tess out of his
cramped NY apartment and into Max's roomy San
Fransisco apartment. He quickly found a place to hide,
and Tess ran out the door and down the stairs to wait
for the others.
Max arrived first.
"OMG! Max, I swear, I know he's still alive, he
tried to come after me, Max! What are we gonna do?
He's so powerful!" Tess said, burying herself in Max's
arms. Max pushed her away.
"It's gonna be alright. You might have to stay
here for a few days, until we sort this thing out.
Don't worry, Tess. It'll be okay, you'll see. Come
upstairs, we'll wait for the others there."
"Good idea, Max. I feel so much better now that
you're here." Tess said. They walked up the stairs and
into Max's apartment.
"It's nice here, Max."
"Thanks." Max replied. Tess plopped down on the
couch. The door burst open and Michael and Isabel came
in.
"Good, everyone's here." Max said.
"Let's get down to business, Tess, how do you
know Khivar is still alive?" Michael asked.
"Oh, umm, he tried to attack me, but I...I held
him off with my powers." Tess said.
"When did he attack you? Where did it happen?"
Isabel asked.
"Umm, ah, a few days ago, at my apartment."
"He could be anywhere! Why didn't you call us
sooner?" Max said.
"I, I...I was scared." Tess said, rather
unconvincingly.
"I don't buy that." Michael said.
"I don't either." Isabel said.
"What's really going on, Tess?" Max asked.
"What? I, I...ahmmm, fine. You caught me. I admit
it. I'll tell you what's really going on. Ever since
Khivar turned up, and you tried to kill him, I,
Vilandra, that's right, have been nursing him back to
health. And now we're here to finish you off. We're
going back home. And there's nothing you can do to
stop us!" Tess screamed. Isabel, Max, and Michael were
all staring at her, clearly shocked. Tess sat on the
couch, looking smug.
"Hold on, you're Vilandra? You betrayed us?
You're Max's sister?" Isabel asked, confused.
"Two outta three ain't bad, Isabel. Yes, I am
Vilandra. Yes, I did betray Max, but no, I am not his
sister. I was his wife to be, but then I met Khivar.
And I realized that what the King and I had, was
nothing compared to what Khivar and I had. So I sold
out the King." Tess said.
"Uh-huh. And where is Khivar now?" Michael asked.
"Right here." Said Khivar. And blasted Max.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Isabel screamed. Michael
threw a bolt of energy at Khivar, and kept it on him
until he knew for sure he was dead.
"Khivar!" Tess shouted, "No! You can't die! I'm
supposed to be queen! NO!"
"And now for you." Michael said.He threw Tess
against the wall with his powers. "How could you? We
trusted you. We were good to you. We loved you. And
what did you do? You stabbed us in the back. And for
what? A throne? That's all you wanted, wasn't it? To
be queen? How could we have...forget it. It's too late
now. Goodbye Tess." And Michael killed her too.
Michael had realized after he killed Pierce that he
shouldn't feel guilty for stopping a killer, or
protecting his loved ones. Once he was sure both
Tess/Vilandra and Khivar were dead, he ran over to
Isabel and Max.
"Is he okay?" Michael asked.
"I, I don't know." Isabel stuttered. "I'm scared,
Michael. What are we gonna do without Max?"
"He'll be okay, Iz. Don't worry about it. He'll
be okay." Michael comforted her. "I'm going to get
Maria, you stay here. I think we need to bring him
back to Roswell."
"What about Alex? And," Isabel looked down at
Max, then glanced back up at Michael, "Liz?"
The second Isabel finished her sentence, the door
burst open.
-----------------
Liz was sitting at her desk, waiting for her
students to finish the test so she could leave for the
day. She couldn't wait to get home, call Max. Call
Maria! Maria didn't know! Liz was lost in her thoughts
of Max when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her
back, it seemed to go right through her body. Then she
had a flash, of her and Max/Max dead lying on the
ground, covered in blood/Max and Liz that night in the
desert/Max's apartment door/Tess and Max, kissing/Max
and Liz kissing/Tess, Max, Michael, and Isabel in
Max's apartment/Khivar and Tess, together/Khivar
sending a bolt of energy at Max, killing him
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Liz screamed.
"Miss Parker, Miss Parker, are you okay? What
happened?" Came the voices of her students.
*OMG, it's real, what I saw, it's real!* Liz
thought.
"I have to go. I have to go!" Liz said as she
pushed her way through her concerned students and ran
out of the building. Once Liz was standing by her car,
scrambling to find her keys, she had another flash.
This time it was of Isabel and Alex's wedding.
Everyone at the altar, about to say I do whene
everything freezes/only the aliens aren't frozen/ a
blue beam of light brings someone down into the
church/A shout of Khivar! from Tess/Khivar stating
that he was Khivar/Max sending a bolt of energy at
Khivar/Khivar dissolving into dust/ Tess' shouts of
Khivar! and No!/flash of Tess helping Khivar/flash of
Tess and Khivar kissing/flash of Tess as queen/flash
TESS IS VILANDRA
Liz came out of the flash. *OMG! Tess is
Vilandra! How, how is this possible?* Liz thought,
bewildered. Then she remembered Max and Khivar and the
others, and she raced to Max's apartment as quickly as
she could.
------------------
The door burst open, and Liz ran inside.
"OMG! It's true! The flashes were real!" Liz
said. She looked around the room. "Are they, dead?"
She asked.
"Khivar and Tess are dead. Michael..." Isabel
said.
"Oh. And, and Max...is he?"
"Not yet, I don't think." Isabel replied. "How
did you know?" She asked.
"I got, flashes, of, of everything. Max and me,
and Tess. Khivar, and the wedding and and...just
everything."
"How to help Max?" Isabel asked hopefully.
"I, umm. Well, no." Liz said. By this time she
was knelt down next to Isabel holding one of Max's
hands. The other was held by Isabel. They were both
crying. Liz got another flash. Nasedo being
shot/Isabel, Michael and Tess bringing him to the
cave/using the crystals on him/Nasedo waking up/ the
whole thing over again/and again/and again/ until
Nasedo was Max/and Max woke up/Max calling her name,
shaking her Liz! Liz!
Liz came out of the flash.
"Liz, Liz!" Isabel shouted, shaking her. "What
just happened?" She asked.
"I, I had another flash. I know how to save Max.
Where's Michael?" Liz asked.
"He's getting Maria and Alex. We're gonna take
Max to Roswell."
"You're gonna have to. The only way to save Max
is to use the healing stones. And quickly." Liz said.
Michael, Maria and Alex walked throught the door about
ten minutes later.
"Let's go." He said.
