Chapter 6
Liz and Maria went to the bathroom and tried to get done as fast as they could; they did not want to piss off the guards any more than they already were.
"Liz, what do you think they are going to do to us?" Maria asked as she washed her face.
"I don't know. Probably take our blood, but then again we aren't the aliens so…actually I have no idea. They might use us as bait to make the Czech's talk." Liz said. 'If we're lucky that is what is going to happen'. Maria nodded her head and they quickly left the bathroom.
On the way back to their "room" Liz tried to peer in the tiny windows on each door. One of the guards noticed her curiosity and yelled to her, "Face forward! Don't worry you'll see your friends soon." The guard then half chuckled

Few hours later…
Max and Isabel were talking about all the fun times they had the last couple years since making friends with Liz, Maria, Alex, and even Kyle. They tried to make sure there wasn't silence for too long, because in silence they were brought back to reality; they were held hostage.
A guard came in and said, "Hope you got your party clothes on cause you are going to have some company." A few more guards came in and undid their straps and escorted them to a larger room. Everyone was already in the room, each person holding another. Max's eyes fixed on Liz's face. She had bruises on her face and there was a sense of confusion in her eyes. Max knew that everyone had been beaten, but in his eyes Liz's injuries seemed to be much larger than anyone else's. 'I'm gonna kill those bastards for what they did.'
Liz realized that Max and Isabel had come in and saw Max staring at her. She noticed that he too had cuts and bruises. Max walked over to Liz and they cuddled in the corner. "I prayed that they hadn't gotten to you. Oh Max I had another dream with Grandma Claudia in it, she was trying to warn me that they were coming. I woke up and was going to warn you, but then I was knocked out. I'm sorry." Liz said and a tear ran down her face.
"Liz, in no shape or form is there any reason why you should be apologizing. You didn't kidnap us, and it's not like you knew it for weeks. If anything I should apologize because if it wasn't for me you wouldn't be in here." Max explained as he wiped a tear off her face.
"Max if it hadn't been for you I would be dead from that bullet. But you see it is my fault, if I had been getting more sleep Grandma Claudia would have been able to warn me earlier." Liz said.
"Wait a minute, Liz what are you talking about, how could your dead grandmother warn you about this. Even if she could talk to you, how could she know the future." Max asked.
Just then several guards and two men walked in. "Sorry to interrupt the reunion, but I'd really like this to be quick, I do have worlds to help conquer." The other man spoke up, "Yes and I want to get you freaks off my planet as soon as possible."
"So what do you want?" Michael asked.
"Glad you asked. We had been informed that not only of the royal four's location in Roswell, but also of the legendary hybrid." The man said. Everyone looked around with puzzled looks. "Oh I see, it seems that not only does the royal four not know of their previous life, but they have never been told the story about the hybrid. Okay well I guess I might as well explain. Legend says that after the fall of the royal empire, a hybrid would be born years later. This hybrid would have the capability of bringing down all of its enemies. Now, no one really believed this fairy tale, but when searching for you (pointing to the royal four) we came across an enormous energy level coming from Roswell. When we pin pointed the location we found you eight." The max explained.
Everyone looked around at each other in wonder. 'After all these years of searching for someone like us, and that person has been sitting right under our noses all this time?' Isabel thought.
"So if this hybrid is one of us, why are we still alive, and why haven't you figured out who it is?" Kyle asked. Tess gabbed him in the side "Don't give him any ideas"
"Actually we haven't figured it out yet because this hybrid is so powerful that the energy is filling this building, it's too hard to figure out exactly who it's coming from. The reason you are still alive is because unlike you humans, we don't just kill what scares us, we learn from it. We want to test the hybrid first. Plus if we could reproduce more like the hybrid, we could make armies of them; making us the most powerful beings on all the worlds."
"Fine, whatever, so we are your bunny rabbits. Why is the government involved?" Michael asked.
The other man stepped up. "Now aren't we the inquisitive bunch? Well I guess there is no harm in explaining it. It's simple really. We know that we humans are vulnerable, and they would probably attack us eventually. So we cut a deal. We assist them in capturing you guys, provide the equipment and housing for the testing and Earth is left out of the battles."
"So now what?" Maria piped in.
"Well let's see. We have already seen how you interact with one another so now we are on to phase two." The man said. "Wait a minute, here I am babbling about what is going on and what I'm going to do to you, and I haven't introduced myself. I can be so rude sometimes. I am Darran. Oh and the human to my left is Mr. Spencer. Now that the introductions are over I think we can move on. Guards, take them back to their cells and begin phase two."
The guards pried apart everyone. Max turned his head towards Liz and mouthed 'I love you'. Liz in return did the same. The question the kept plaguing everyone's mind was 'what the hell is phase two?'
******************************************************************************
When Maria and Liz returned to their cell and re-strapped down, Maria turned to Liz and asked, "Liz about what you were saying earlier, about your Grandma, you don't think that…" Liz's eyes widened. 'What if?' Liz's mind started racing a mile a minute. And as if right on time to yet again interrupt a crucial time; the guards came into the room. This time they had two large needles.
"Oh don't give me those looks, they hurt." The guard sarcastically said. "Well kiddies, time to take some blood."
Maria and Liz tried to fight their way out of the straps to avoid those huge needles, but found to be helpless against the guards.
