Chapter 13- Forever Gone

I'm Liz Evans and today is the four year anniversary of the day we destroyed Manticore

Exactly half of a month later, I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl who was named Katie Maria Isabel Evans. We found out that Lydecker used Maxwell's DNA and planted it in the baby, so it seems that Maxwell is Katie's father.

As for Manticore, the fire burned all night and in the morning there was nothing left. Lydecker's body was never found.

With the threat of Manticore gone, we went public. We told the whole world what Manticore had done to us. Gradually in a year we were able to find all of the X5's that had escaped. We also found some X5's that had escaped in the years after the 09 escape, now we all live in Seattle.

Maxwell and I were married I year after Manticore was destroyed. Maxwell is a doctor. Logan's Aunt Margo died three years ago and left Cale Industries to him which Brin, Kali, Isabel and I now run. We used Cale Industries to help the poor instead of the rich. We all work for Eyes Only.

Logan and Max got married, most of the X5's did stay single but Zack wasn't one of them. He meet a girl named Sherri which he married there wasn't a dry eye in the audience. Oh, they also adopted a little boy whose parents died in one of our Eyes Only assessments. Sly meet a man named Danny. Krit is dating a girl named Pam. Original Cindy married one of my sisters, Jenna and Isabel is married to Alex, and is expecting there first child soon. Michael and Maria are married. Maria is a teacher and Michael and Alex are going back to school. Sheriff Valenti died two years ago and Kyle is currently sheriff in Roswell. He is the only member of the Pod Squad still in Roswell.

I don't know if Lydecker is still alive and I'm not sure what will happen next. But the last four years was worth every moment of the pain we suffered. But the power Manticore had in us is gone, we control our lives and that will never change.

"Hey," Maxwell said coming up behind. I walked over to the fireplace and slowly dropped my journal into the flames. "What did you do that for?"

"Eva, Jack and all the others that never made it need to now that we are all right."

"Smoke always rises."

"Maybe it will make it to the good place," I went back to the couch and sat down beside Maxwell and put my head on his shoulder.

"Mommy, mommy," Katie came running into the room. "Tell me the story about the prince and princesses.

"Okay," She jumped on my lap and I kiss her forehead and started the story that told all. "Once there was these prince and princess and they lived in a huge castle."

"But they were prisoners in the castle," I looked up and there was Max and Zack in the doorway. They sat down on the couch and Max started the story "There was an king who was always mean to them all………." As Max continued the story I looked out the window and in the sky was a single shooting star

Max whispered in my ear, "Make a wish."

"I don't need to I have my prince and I have my family that's all I need. My wish already came true." He bent down and gave me a gentle kiss. I leaned my head back on his shoulder and looked at the sky.

Max came over to me and whispered in my ear, "They'll always watch us."

As she pointed to the constellations that so many years ago we named, Eva, Jack, Tinga, Brin, Sly, Krit, Zack, Jondy, Max, Liz, Katie, Raven, Julia, Ben, Ash, Cray, Laine, Noah, Jay, Jenna, Darren, Micah, Kali and Jace. I put my arms around her and she laid down beside me and in her ears I whispered, "Together forever till the end."

The End
