Ch. 8 Declaring War
~Rene POV~
"Mrs Valenti, what is up with you? You haven't stop smiling all day?"- I ask Amy. She has been
asking strange all day. I have never seen her this happy, all two years that I have been working
here.
"Oh, nothing Rene... I am just having a good couple of days. In fact..." I see her look down at
her watch. " Its almost 8pm, why don't you close up. I am expecting the Evans to come over and
it doesn't look like anyone else is coming for the rest of the evening."
I am shocked, it is only on rare occasion does Mrs. Valenti close the Crash early. But I can't
say that I wasn't hoping to get off early tonight. I have to meet the others. But I hear the bell
ring and I loose all hope of leaving early and getting to the meeting on time. A group of six
walks in. They look sad, almost like they saw someone die. One girl is really pale with red
streaks coming down her face. It is obvious that she has done a lot of crying, she looks really
weak. Like she doesn't have enough strength to make it. I know what it feels like to be in her
shoes. Ever since coming to Roswell, to find them. It has seen hopeless and I feel as if I had
failed them. I feel like a weakling who let them down again.
"Hi, I am Rene, and I'll be your waitress..." I start but am soon cut off by Mrs. Valenti.
"Rene, these are friends of mind. Don't mind them, their here to see the Evans as well."- MRs. V
says... she says this while staring at the girl. She no longer has rose colored cheeks of
happiness, but she is at least three shades lighter. I am afraid that she might faint.
"Umm Mrs. Valenti are you alright?"- I ask her, I am very concerned and very curious. What the
hell is going on here?
"what....? O yea, I am fine"- She says to me.. But she has a distant glaze on her eyes.
"Ok.. well I am outta here then"- I say
And as I am about to leave here, I look back on last time at them. And it clicks to me... These
are the six teens from yesterday. How did they change their looks so fast? Unless....OMG I have
to go find the others. I have finally found them.
The royals are back!
~Kyle POV~
After seeing Nicolas, we all just stood infront of Alex's grave. Watching him walk away.
All of us to shocked to respond. It was as if we where just standing there and taking strength
from Alex, because none of us had any strength left to give to the others. Waling in, I could
tell right away the Amy knew somthing was up. Especially the way she quickly took out the
waitress who was working the night shift.
"What's going on?"- Amy asks us
"Call Jim.. when are my parents coming home?"- Max asks
"Your parents should be here any minute. And Jim said he'd be here in about five minutes."- Amy
tells us.
"Then we'll wait for everyone"- Max says
Amy sighs I know she can tell by Max's tone that there was no dealing with him. I think he doesnt
want to say it a million times because then it would mean that it is true. I don't think any of
us can really believe it.
~10 minutes later~
Everyone is here now. And after a tearful reunion with the Evans. We can now start planning, like
we always do. But it is strange to have others with us. Very strange. But its a new begining for
a lot of us. And when things change so does the group...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~Nicolas POV~
"Kivar, my lord"- I say to my leader.
"Yes, Nicolas... do you have good news for me?"- He asks me and I know I will please him.
"Very... The royals are back and they are one weak."- I say with a sneer
"Tess" he says looking at me
"yes"
"Without Tess we loose an advantage you do know that?"- He asks me seriously.
I just nod with and understanding.
"GO fetch all the troops... the war is begining here."- he barks as command to me
"With pleasure"- I am getting goosebumps. I can't wait, I have been wanting to battle again. It
has been to long. To long
"Oh, Nicolas before you go...Start phase 1"- He says evily.
I just grin and gladly go about my orders.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
~Max's POV~
Why now? Why did they have to come back? We are at our weakest,and they are most likely at there strongest. How am I suppose to lead a army of 10 against and an army of who knows how much. While theirs is all aliens, mine only has five with powers. We are trying to sit here and rationalize what is coming. And what to expect... Our parents don't understand what to expect. But I can tell the rest do. We can expect our deaths. Here at the place where it all started. Will it really end this way?
"You guys dont get it!" Liz practically yells at Amy, and my parents
"If nicolas is here, then so is Kivar. And if Kivar is here, then so is his army..." She looks
directly at them and
"And 10 of us against an amry is impossible."- Liz says with defeat. I can tell it finally clicks
in their heads. Something that the rest of us knew at the gravesite. I look over at Maria, who is
clinging to Michael with dear life.
"We can't think the end is hear before it actually is"- I tell them
"We beat Nicolas before, we might be able to do it agian." I finished.
Michael and Iz nod their heads in agreement.
"Correction... Tess beat Nicolas and Courtney beat the skins by killing their harvest"- Liz says
I have never seen her, so hopeless. She always has hope.
"Liz, have you seen anything?"- Iz asks her
She just looks around...
"I think this is what my feeling was... I couldn't see anything because the future is not clear
on this matter... I think"- She say softly
"There... we still have hope. Even if Liz, saw us dying we could have cheated it again"- I tell
them defiantly.
Everyone is looking at me, hoping that I already have a plan.
"What do we do now, Max?" - Iz asked me.
And I know I can no longer just be Max, but I am now their King again. Michael is the second in
command and Iz the princess again. But its not just the three of us. Liz is now the queen and
Kyle a trusted aid. All of us with powers. But even Maria and the rest know they are no longer
who they are... We are all someone else. Someone we all thought we had put to rest for good.
"We fight for our lives"- I say
