Beth walked into the safe house. Today was the last day of life as they
knew it. Everyone was waiting in the living room. They had finally told
Stephanie and Jaime everything. Now she had to tell Max, Mike, Bell, and
Teressa the complete truth. Juan and Cassie had come and told them it was
time the night before.
She sat down and looked at their four friends who were so trusting in their own way. Max had apologized for the way he had acted. They had forgiven him, or at least she had. Al and Juan were still dealing with their anger towards Max. She felt terrible knowing what they were about to do. They would never forgive the nine of them for this.
"Beth, what is it? You look like you've seen a ghost." Teressa asked after the silence had continued for several minutes.
"There's something we need to tell you. But first, you have to tell us everything you know about the Chosen One."
"Well, he's a member of Kivar's family, and was sent to earth like us. We were told to follow our hearts and we would find him. And there is some prophecy supposably about him." Mike told them
"What is the prophecy?" Jim asked.
"When evil rules Antar once more, one will rise of blood and strength. Defeating the evil through love and blood, peace will return from Inish above." Belle recited from memory.
"Do you guys understand what it means?" Marie asked.
"Well, the evil is Kivar, and the first mention of blood means family. From there we have no idea." Max explained.
"Alright, now there is something we have to tell you, and please understand we kept it a secret for good reason." Beth began before the door came flying open. In the doorway stood Nikolaus and another man about Mike's height with raven black hair and black eyes.
"Well, well. Looks like I was right. You would lead us to the Chosen One. Kivar can sense power here in Roswell, and I can sense it in the building. Besides the four of you and little Micky's half ling daughter." Nikolaus said walking into the room, leaving the other man by the door.
"What are you talking about Nikolaus? The Chosen One isn't here." Max said walking towards him
"He must be. I can sense another with powers, another of our kind. And it's him." Nikolaus said, shooting a burst of energy that sent Juan flying, then another that brought Juan to him.
"No!" Cassie yelled, as Kyle grabbed her before she could do something foolish; and Beth collapsed into Al's arms.
"Let him go Nikolaus. He isn't the Chosen One. He's my son." Belle said quickly before Max could.
"Your son. Not possible." Nikolaus said with a laugh.
"I had him before I returned to Antar. My friends' raised him for me." She said continuing the farce.
"It's true." Beth said standing on her own again. "I can't have children, so I raised Isabel's and my husband's son."
Nikolaus turned to his companion while still holding Juan up in the air. "Contact Kivar. Tell him to scan the boy."
A moment later the man started talking in a slightly odd voice. "What do you want Nikolaus? I was resting."
"I'm sorry my liege, but is this boy the Chosen One?"
"No you fool." The voice yelled, "Don't you ever listen. The Chosen One is my sister. That boy is a member of the Royal Four's line. Now get back here!"
"This isn't over boy." Nikolaus said as he sent Juan flying once more, before he and his now silent companion left.
"Are you alright Juan?" Belle asked as he stood up
"Yeah, I'm fine. Good cover."
"Thank you Belle." Beth said calmly, then surprised everyone when she sunk to the floor in a faint.
