Part 2: Dude I'm not an alien.

May 10 1976

Sometimes I really hate school. In the coven you learn all this magick, things that will matter later in life. But at school I have to learn English! Hello I already speak English perfectly fine! Geeze, its like their implying that our parents didn't teach us very well! But I can't go yet. I'm 15 next May, and then I'm free to do what I like! Though I don't think Ma or Pa will like that too much. But hey they should try telling that to the government! I can so see Ma march right up to Mr Callaghan in downing street telling him to raise the legal limit for leaving school. as if!

So today after school I'm going to collect the plants I need for my spell. I want to scry to see what my future holds. Is Angus the one for me? Should I leave school next year? The endless possibilities that show themselves to me. Ok so I might only be 14, but I want to know what is in store!

To scry: use shallow water in a bowl. Water is easy to use, but its not, well, reliable. If something reflects in the water, like clouds, you don't see everything. Plus I'm not really that in tune with the water. unlike Angus. any way. To get the best results, crystals are good, they show the truth, but are hard to find, and more then I can afford! Using stones is also good, but that's really only used if your checking up on someone else. Angus. really head stay out of the clouds!

I like to scry with fire. We're in tune with each other. I would use fire all the time if I could, though that would blow up some of the potions! I can see past, present or future in the fire, and is as true to me as anything.

I love the fire.

Max's POV

It had been an hour since the accident where Liz nearly lost her life. An hour in which Max was losing his mind. Michael quizzed him on the phone, but when Max wouldn't give out more information then needed, Michael told him they would be on their way. Looking out into the horizon he could see Michael and Isabel driving up, in his father's car.

"Looks like the rest of the troops are here." I heard Alex comment, but I wasn't paying to much attention. My focus kept glancing towards Liz. I honestly thought she would freak, but she just kept smiling. She didn't say a single word though for the whole hour. My gaze is pulled away from her, however, when I Michael sits next to be on a rock, and Isabel just hovers.

"What is this about Max? I was meant to meet Cindy and Barbie at the mall half an hour ago! (sorry couldn't help it. Cindy and Barbie hehe!) They are not going to like it you know!" Yep that's my sister the Ice Queen. well technically the Ice Princess. going way of the issue at hand here!

"This is more important then that." I looked them both in the eyes. "They know" I stressed. It took a moment for it to click in their heads, but when it did, Michael exploded.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY KNOW MAXWELL??? WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO? WAS IT LIKE 'LIZ I LOVE YOU BUT SEE I'M AN ALIEN AS WELL AS MY BEST FRIEND AND SISTER'???" Michael Gurien I am so gonna kick your ass.

"What?" I hear Liz, Alex and Kyle say at the same time. I could see that Alex and Kyle where stuck on the alien thing. But looking towards Liz I knew she was thinking about the other thing.

"Michael I didn't say I was an alien. That's all you buddy. But I had to heal Liz." I explained what happened to them, including Maria knowing my name, my [I]other[/I] name.

"So how do you know who we are?" Isabel asked. She remained quiet all through Michael's out burst. I could tell she wasn't angry at me, I couldn't let an innocent person die. "Are you Ava. the fourth alien?" She inquired. God I hope it isn't Maria!

"Are you kidding me? Please I'm 100% human baby!" Maria did a little twirl for emphasis.

"You sure, you don't look human." I heard Michael mutter under his breath. I think Maria did too, but chose to ignore it. I looked again at the other 2 guys, and surprisingly they had calmed down remarkably. Really movies don't show that happening. The humans always run away!

"As I was saying, before space boy interrupted," Maria continued, flashing Michael a smirk, "I'm human. just not a normal human." I could see Michael about to say something, but instead I heard Maria mutter a spell. "His voice makes my head pound, so for the 5 minutes space boy will make no sound!" A green light surrounded Michael for a moment, then it disappeared. "Cool, it worked. It was a bit. uh. crap. but it worked. Try making a sound. [I]Mikey[/I]" Michael hated that nickname, and I saw him go to argue with her, but nothing came out.

"What are you?" Isabel asked, with her eyes wide open.

"A full blooded witch. And you 3 are apart of the royal 4!"

"But how do you know that?" I hear myself ask.

"You see, one of your protectors, Serena, got very sick, and she came to get my families help. This is in the year 1952. My family know some basic healing, and as the only witch family for miles, Serena had no choice but to ask for their help. There are 7 main witch clans. I come from a branch of the Burnhide clan, but Brightendales usually the healers. but I'm getting off the topic. Anyway they couldn't save her, but her powers for protection where passed onto my grandmother, passed onto my mother, and have now been passed onto me, along with some knowledge of you and your planet. So I'm your protector. The other protector works for the other side." I watched Maria turn to Liz. "This is very star wars isn't it."

"Nah. definitely one for the twilight zone." Alex piped in.

"So how do they know about you being a witch?" Isabel asked.

"They've always known. Its not really a secret, its just the people of this town chose to think that it doesn't exist. Its like the people in sunnydale always forgetting about the demons in the next season. Buffy had it easy."

"Well apart from the dying twice." Kyle added. "And falling in love with 2 vampires. Having a kid sister being the key! Her best friend going evil, and then having the angel spin off, where 2 vampires have a kid, a demon who reads your thoughts when you sing, Cordy becoming part demon." we all look at Kyle. "What the chicks in them are totally hot. Plus there's a witch in it, so I was studying it for help in starting this Coven!

"Coven?" What's a Coven???

"You practice witch craft among other things. You don't have to be a full- blooded witch to practice, it just helps. That's why Alex and Kyle are going to find it harder then I and L." she paused, and looked slightly horrified "I mean, Liz, Alex and Kyle are going to find it harder then me." She revised, but I knew what she was thinking. Liz was a full-blooded witch, even if Liz didn't know it. Maybe that kinda explains the flashes that I got.

"Sounds pretty cool." Michael spoke up. I guess the 5 minutes had passed.

"If you like, you can join. I mean it could help you control your powers!" Maria offered. What would that be like? Ok I'm not that fascinated by Magick, I have enough power on my own. but it would mean more time with Liz. though I am gonna kill Michael for what he said. Both Michael and Isabel agreed.

"What the heck! Why not!" I grinned at Maria.

"Well ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the first meeting or elemental. Let the magick begin."
