Author's Note: Sorry CrazyCheeseGirl but this ain't no Max/Tess fic. I personally hated the Max /Tess pairing. I'm a dreamer so Max and Liz stay together 4ever! My favourite couple is Michael and Maria but I will focus on Max and Liz in the next few chapters. Also, I'm afraid this chapter might be kinda weak.

CHAPTER 10

Josh woke up feeling extremely dazed and confused. He had no idea where he was. The last thing he remembered was waking up in the hotel room and a man hovering over him. He had jumped away from the man as his mother walked into the room - probably to check on him. His mom had seen the man in the room and prepared to blast him away but a second man came out of the shadows and some kind of shock wave through her. Josh had never heard his mother scream like that before and it terrified him.

Now he was in this strange, dark room with no windows and only a mattress for him to sit on. Josh tried to focus his eyes in the dark and tried to concentrate on reaching out to his parents in his mind.

"Hello? Is anybody there?" Josh called out to the darkness. He was petrified. For so long he had tried not to be a momma's boy, as his friend Adam sometimes called him, but now he just wanted him mom to be there to hold him and make him feel better.

* Mommy, where are you? Please help me! * Josh tried his best to send the message to his mother.

Suddenly the door to the room flew open and the room was bathed in a bright light, blinding the young boy.

"Well, well. Look who decided to join the land of the living." A man stepped into the room and Josh recognised him to be the guy from the hotel - the one who had hurt his mother.

"Where's my mom and dad? Why am I here?" Josh trembled, he just wanted to go home.

"They're still alive. Not for long, but still alive nonetheless. But you my boy, you are much more important." Jez approached Josh and studied him more closely. "You have your mother's eyes." He smiled wistfully but it soon turned to a frown as he remembered what he did to the young queen at the hotel.

"What do you want me for? I'm only 8, I can't do anything!" Josh began to sob: he felt like such a cry baby but he didn't care. Adam wasn't here to make fun of him.

"Josh, do you know who you are?" Jez locked eyes with the small boy cowering in front of him.

"I'm Josh Evans from Roswell, New Mexico." Josh answered hesitantly.

"That's right. But do you know that your Daddy is the King of a whole other planet? And your mommy is his Queen? That makes you a Prince - the future King."

Josh was confused. This guy must be crazy, what was he talking about? He knew his family were 'different', he knew that his parents and Michael and Isabel had come from a place far away, but King and Queen? Get real, even Josh Evans wasn't that gullible.

Jez saw the boys confused expression turn into a look of disbelief. He laughed.

"Didn't your Daddy tell you kid? Ha ha, classic! Well let me tell you a story. On this other planet, they died because your auntie Vilandra, no, your auntie Isabel, betrayed the family. It's because of her that my brother now holds the throne" Jez sneered at the boy.

"I don't know what you're talking about mister so you might as well just let me go. You're crazy and when they find me, my two dads and Michael are gonna kick your ass!" Josh stood straight and looked up at the man who towered over him.

"Oh I can't wait to meet him. I'll enjoy watching him die. Again." Jez laughed and left the room, slamming the door behind him.

He left the light on which relieved Josh because he would rather have that evil jerk back than be in a dark room alone. He sat down on the mattress and closed his eyes.

* Mom, Dad, anybody? Please hear me! Please find me, please! *
