Addie, Michael, and Maria headed in the direction of their chamber. They had many times stood together there facing the toughest of opponents. "Where is Addison?" Maria asked concerned about her brother.
"He's waiting for us at the chamber. He thinks that maybe its time. Its not safe for us here anymore, too many people have too much information about us."
"He wants to leave?" Michael asked confused.
"Well, don't you think that it's the safest idea?" Addie asked her brother as they ran swiftly through the hot desert.
"But where are we going to go?" Maria asked.
"Yeah, are we talking about leaving Roswell or…Earth?" Michael asked and all of a sudden the three came to a halt, were they really ready to go home?

"Isabel, I'm the leader here, what I say goes, not what you say. You have no idea what you're talking about so don't act like you do. When I want your opinion I'll ask for it."
"Excuse me? I'm not your servant, I'm you sister and I think I have as much say in this as you do. You better check yourself because I will not bow down to you ever. You are no better than me or Michael or Tess, so whatever this royal I'm better than everyone complex is that you've developed, you better drop it because its making you a lot of enemies quick." Isabel spat at her brother and then turned and stormed from the chamber.

Maria didn't even have to turn around to know who stood at the chamber entrance calling her name. It wasn't as if she would have recognized his face anyway but it was his soul that she knew, after all he was her twin brother. "Addison!" She exclaimed and threw her arms around her brother's shoulders.
Michael just looked on in shock. He saw a slender girl standing a few feet behind Addison, all her defenses up just waiting for the opportunity to turn and run if it became necessary. "I can't believe we found you finally," he said swinging her around in circles.
"Yeah well I didn't even know I was an alien till yesterday," Maria laughed.
Addison put his sister down and looked up at Michael. "It's been a long time since I saw you," he directed towards Michael.
Michael looked at the boy and flashes of there past, their friendship, their closeness came back to him. "Yeah, its been way too long," Michael said the guys embracing and patting each other firmly on the back.
"Addie," Maria said moving towards the tense female standing behind Addison.
"This is unbelievable," Adele said looking back and forth between Maria and her brother.
Michael looked at his sister. He had always wanted a family to belong to and looking around he felt more at home with these three "strangers" than he had ever felt with anyone else in his whole life including Max and Isabel. They were his family, his home. Beside him stood his love, his bride, and in front of him stood his sister and his best friend. He remembered so many things from his past life. Saw things clearly that he had never seen before. The fields of red grass and the seas of purple water. The trees with blue leaves and the flowers with green petals. "I remember," he said looking at his family.
"What do you remember?" Maria asked.
"Home, back on Antar, the three moons all orange in the pink sky with the green clouds, don't you remember?"
"Yes, I do," Maria said stepping up beside him, "And the Lake of Entenlang with its glistening purple water and Lagerns Ledge that jutted out over the water. That was the last place we were all together. The next day, they sent you and Addison off to battle and we were forced to stay behind."
"I remember," Adele whispered, "We grew up together, the four of us. We were best friends," she gave Maria a sly look, "I remember when you and Michael started to go out, we picked on you guys so bad, we swore that we would never be like that."
"But we were even worse than you guys after a while," Addison said wrapping his arms around Adele.
Maria looked around the room. Everything was happening so suddenly, not even 24 hours ago she had arrived in Roswell looking for a new life, little did she know that she would not find a new life, but instead her past life. A life she had long forgotten. A life she had not even known existed until just hours ago. Again she remembered the orb that Michael still held and she gently pulled it from his grasp. "We can contact home with this, can't we?" Maria said looking at Adele and Addison.
"Yes, but we need the other one. The royal four have hidden it from us," Addison answered.
"No, they haven't," Michael said looking between the three other people in the chamber.
"Yes, they have it, the kings bride took it and hid it somewhere hoping we would never find it for if we did we would restore the rightful leader to the throne and her and Zan would be hung for betraying the rightful leader," Adele replied.
"The kings bride, you mean Tess?"
"Her real name is Ava. And she is not who she may appear to be."
"But, who is the rightful leader if Max isn't?" Michael asked.
"Max, you must mean Zan. Zan was never the leader, not rightfully at least. Antar was a peaceful planet. For many centuries they lived in peace. When Zan and Vilandra's father became ill he told Zan and Ava that he wanted Vilandra to rule Antar. Zan was enraged by this and swore he would never let his sister rule over him. By the time the king had died Zan had built up an army and he said if his sister attempted to take the throne they would attack and remove her so he could rule. Khivar was the leader of the royal army, the loyalists. The king died and Vilandra took her rightful position on the throne as the ruler of the country. That was how the war broke out. Because Zan and Ava were too proud to let Vilandra rule. Zan's forces were somehow stronger at first and he removed Vilandra from the throne and killed her and her husband Rath. But Khivar soon built up his force and overthrew the evil king and took the throne as his own until he could restore it to Vilandra. We were Khivar's second in command. He sent us to make sure that Zan and Ava were captured and Vilandra and Rath were restored to Antar safely."

Sorry it took so long for me to write this last chapter. I'll try to have a new one coming about every day or every other day. Thanks for being so patient with me. Hope you like it. I've got a lot of new ideas.
