Part 3

Okay before I tell you what's going on, Alex and Maria can you take the kids and put them in the two guest bedrooms please?

"Sure chica," Maria replied.

They took the kids upstairs. When Maria and Alex came back down they were all sitting down. Liz began to tell their story. " Okay, Maria, Alex, Kyle and myself are adopted.

"What?" Max shouted

"You've got to be kidding!" Michael spoke

Isabel just looked shocked.

"Guys calm down and I'll tell you what happened. As I said we were adopted. Alex is my brother and Maria is Kyle's sister. We were placed in a children's home in Florida. There was another one of us and that was Alex's and my older sister, Julie. The children are Julie's." As Liz said this she had tears slowly steaming down her face. Alex sat beside her and put his arm over her shoulders.

Maria decided to take over, as she knew this was too much for her best friend. She knew that when Liz started to tell the story she would need Alex. " Julie was murdered and Liz found her in her room and she just had enough life left to asked us to look after the children and not let Marcus have them. Marcus is the children's father."

"And he murdered Julie, the mother of his children!" Liz suddenly shouted causing the whole group to look at Liz.

"Liz we don't know that..." Kyle started to say.

"Of course we do she told me." Liz spoke quietly.

"What? Liz?" Maria asked sounding hurt that her best friend had kept something important from her.

"When? Why didn't you tell us?" Kyle asked sounding shocked.

"I did tell someone," and she looked at Alex.

"Yes she told me when we got back to the hotel room from the hospital. We agreed that you guys should not know till you need to." Alex told everyone. He took a big breath and looked at Liz who nodded. "There is something else. Julie had a silver hand print on her chest. She told Liz that Marcus is an alien and should not have the children because he will take them back to his planet and use them to take over a neighbouring planet, Antar."

"Which is your planet Max," Liz spoke quietly.

There was a shocked atmosphere around the room.

The door to the back of the apartment opened and caused everybody to look at the door. A sleepily Katie entered the room "Aunty Lizzie," she spoke, " I woke up."

Liz ran to Katie, "are you okay sweetie?"

"No. You know when I was little I had those vision things?"

"Yes Katie," Liz sounded worried." Did you have one?"

"Yes Aunty Liz, it was horrible!"

"Can you tell me?"

Katie shook her head, " No!"

"Okay, do you remember that I can connect with you, like we did when you were about five?"

"Yes okay," Katie answered.

"Liz are you sure you should be doing this?" Alex asked.

Liz turned away to face Alex and the others. "I am not sure of anything now."

"Liz what do you mean by connect with her?" Max asked confused.

"You all are human. aren't you?" Isabel questioned.

All of a sudden the front door to the café opened and in walked a man Liz, Maria, Kyle and Alex knew.

"No they aren't human." The man spoke.
