Chapter 5
Michael nodded his greetings as he silently studied her features. She was gorgeous, there was no denying it, but he knew that any kind of attachment to her would be dangerous and troublesome even if it was for a moment of amusement.
"I'm guessing you are from Antar," Liz said, taking in her surroundings and digesting that she was on another planet.
"You are well informed," Michael stated, now observing Alex and Maria.
"You'll be surprise with all the things I know. Isn't that right, Nicholas?"
Nicholas flushed and ignored her; he turned to the others that were part of his group. "Take them," he ordered, signaling towards Maria and Alex.
"Hey, what do you think you are doing?!" Maria screamed as she fought to get free of their grasp, Alex's yells echoing hers.
"Where are you taking them?" Liz asked as she watched the Skins take them away.
"Don't worry, they'll be fine…for now. They are just a guarantee…" For what Nicholas didn't say.
Liz didn't like the look in Nicholas' eyes, but nodded anyway.
"You'll meet Kivar as soon as he gets back… from his business meeting," Nicholas informed Liz.
"What?" Michael asked before he could stop himself. He had to wait six months before he could even see Kivar, and she had just arrived, and she already could see him.
"Do you have a problem…uh, Michael is it?" Liz questioned.
Nicholas started to walk and indicated for them to follow. "You'll be staying at the palace."
"Great. Is it always so dark here?" Liz asked as the darkness finally got to her. "Is it night?"
"So there's something you don't know." Michael mocked, pleasantly and then answered her question. "This planet doesn't have a sun and just occasionally and very rarely an escape beam of the sun can reach the moon. That's why they don't stand the sun, they are "allergic" to it. But anyone other than a Skin will get lost here. They are the only ones that can see in this darkness and the other that knows their way around is because they have gotten lost a few times…more than they would care to admit. The light that illuminates us now is generic, just turned on so we can make our way to the palace and not loose you. Once we are inside the light will be turned off and the machines hidden so no one but the Skins can use."
"I don't think she needs to know anymore of our secrets." Nicholas warned, and the rest of the walk was quiet.
Nicholas guided them to the second floor of the palace, and opened a door. "You'll be staying here, Liz. Michael is in the room besides yours."
"Goody," Liz entered the room, "Well good night or whatever," and she closed the door right in their faces.
Michael and Nicholas were left staring at the door, speechless. Michael closed his mouth and left to his room. 'Who the hell does she think she is??' He thought as he entered his room.
Nicholas turned, "Watch them. They are both traitors. What stops them from betraying us?" and he left, not even bothering to see a shadow nod.
Liz threw herself on the bed, exhaustion and concern getting the best of her. 'Where are Alex and Maria? They shouldn't have been involved. This is all my fault.' Liz's thoughts kept torturing her until she fell asleep.
The next morning or was it evening, Liz really didn't know she had lost her sense of time. Liz groggily stood up and opened the first door she saw, and she immediately became fully awake. She wanted to turn and run, but she was petrified. There in the middle of what she guessed was the bathroom stood a very naked Michael.
Liz let her eyes travel slowly from his feet to his head, where she met his gaze. Liz could feel the heat in her cheeks and fought for control. She wanted to wipe the smirk of his face.
Michael couldn't help but ask; "You like?" He liked the rosy sting her cheeks had.
Liz heard the teasing not in his words and turned defensive. "Oh, please! It's certainly nothing I haven't seen before!" She said it with such a conviction that she almost believed it herself. "When you're done please tell me." Liz closed the door behind her and leaned into it, she didn't know what possessed her to say that, since it wasn't true. The only naked man she had seen would be Alex and that had been when he was in diapers.
Michael's smirk left his face, and for the second time he was left staring speechless at a door. She wasn't his and he had only met her, but he was jealous. Sure, she had blushed, but her words had shocked him. She was something new, she treated him as a commoner, when no one else did, because of his position in Antar, and he had no doubt she knew who he was. Michael got dressed and knocked on her door and shouted that he was done. 'Yes, she's dangerous in deed.'
---
By Liz's recent calculations, a week had gone by and there was no sign of Kivar or Maria and Alex for that matter. Liz sat at the dining table as far away from Michael as she could. She didn't like what he made her feel, he was a traitor to his planet and king. But what she wouldn't admit that she wanted the distance, because he had been avoiding her, and that's what hurt her the most. "Nicholas, where are my friends? When can I see them? At least let me see Alex?" Liz knew it wasn't fair to just see one of them, and to choose Alex over Maria, but she knew that Alex would stay calm when Maria wouldn't.
Michael's grip on the glass tightened when he heard Alex's name for the past week that's all he heard from her mouth, Alex this, Alex that. He didn't know the guy and he already wanted to kill him. 'Had he been the one that she had seen naked?' A part deep inside him asked.
"And when will Kivar arrive?" Liz added.
Nicholas was tired of her questions. "You'll see your friends when I want it not the other way around."
"Looks like a 14 years old kids and he also acts like one too." Liz knew she was playing with fire, but maybe she needed to be burned to be able to learn.
Nicholas slammed his fist into the table; he was very self-conscious about his looks.
Michael became wary, his eyes darting from Nicholas to Liz, and he had to admire the stubborn way she held her chin up, but he feared that her stubbornness would get her killed.
"Like I said, you'll meet them when I want," Nicholas repeated through clenched teeth, remembering Kivar's warning of wanting to see the girl alive.
Liz accepted his words for now and finished her meal.
---
Liz wouldn't admit it or even consider it, but she was definitely lost. She was going to turn around the corner, but she heard Michael's voice.
"Max, Kivar isn't here yet, and we have a problem…there's a human involved. Nicholas is a nervous wreck since she came…"
Liz almost gasped out loud by the revelation. Michael was a spy. Liz got lost in her thoughts and just when she was about to leave, she felt a sharp object pressed on her neck and an arm wraps itself around her waist.
