Part 25
The gang spread out into two cars. Max, Isabel, Michael and Serena in the
jeep and Liz, Alex, Kyle and Maria in her Jetta.
"So chica, what's been going on with you and Max.?" Maria asked her best friend.
"Nothing. Why?" Liz lied not wanting to tell anybody. She had enough problems.
"Com'on baby sister. I can tell that something's up". Alex asked Liz using the words he knew Liz hated. 'baby sister.'
Liz glared at Alex and said "Alex we are only a year apart. Max and I have found out a new power and Max asked me something and I have not given him an answer yet and when I do it could change all our lives in a big way. And I am not sure I am ready for that change"
"What's this new power"
All of a sudden Liz's face looked far away. +++++++++++++++ "So why did you and Liz go upstairs?" Michael asked. Getting straight to the point.
*Liz, Michael wants to know why we went upstairs. Is it okay if I tell them?* Max asked Liz
*Yeah as long as you only tell them about us having the ability to speak to each other and not about you asking me to marry you. I am telling Maria, Alex and Kyle.* Liz thought back.
*Okay when we get out of this you and I are going to find out what you are so scared of* With that Max closed the connection. +++++++++ "Erm, Liz and I have found out that we can talk to each other using our minds". Max said quietly, not sure what their reactions would be.
"What? And why didn't you bother telling us this" Michael shouted annoyed.
"We wanted to get used to it before we told everybody. Cause it's a big deal" Max defended himself and Liz. ++++++++++++++++ "Max and I can sort of speak to each other in our minds"
"What? Wow, cool, excellent" Responded Jetta. Maria, Kyle and Alex wanted to spend the rest of the journey asking Liz questions about her new power
"Guys please can we talk about this later? I need to think" Liz asked the others. ++++++++++++++
"Look we can talk about it later. Right now we are here and we have got to get Katie away from Marcus and Matthew." Max suggested. They realised that all the talking has taken up the drive and they arrived at the soap factory.
"Okay, we all remember the plan. No heroics." Max asked.
"Yep lets get this over with" Michael spoke.
As they entered the soap factory. They saw nothing but a few chairs. Maria looked around and saw Marcus and coming towards them.
"Liz, Max" she whispered.
"Welcome your majesties." Marcus spoke smirking.
"Knock it off Marcus, now why don't you hand over Katie so no harm will come to her." Liz pleaded.
"No can do Beth" Matthew answered. "She is involved as much as you are."
"How can she be? She is just a little girl" Maria asked
"She is the next heir to the throne so she must stay here till." Marcus trailed off.
"Untill what?" Max demanded.
"Till I say" a voice appeared out of nowhere.
"Oh no, it can't be " Liz whispered frightened
"Yes my Reanna" Kivar smiled looking at Liz.
"I am not yours. I never was and never will be" Liz spat out.
"Oh, but my dear you will be." Kivar spoke with a sinister sneer. He then noticed Isabel standing next to Liz.
"Ah my dear lovely Vilandra. How happy to see you again."
"How not happy to see you. My name is not Vilandra. Its Isabelle" spat out in the same tone as Liz.
"Oooo. What feisty girls we have here" Kivar grinned.
"My dear brother, bring out Katie along with Matthew and we can let out fight begin" Kivar asked Marcus.
"Yes my King," Marcus bowed and left.
"King? That's a bit premature isn't it?" Michael asked. Wanting to finish this soon as possible.
Before Kivar had a chance to answer that. Marcus and Matthew brought Katie in. She was whimpering.
"Aunty Liz" Katie cried.
"I am here baby. It's going to be all right" Liz called out. Wishing she could run over to her a comfort her.
"Kivar. Please I'll do anything you want. Just please let Katie come here. Can't you see she is terrified" Liz begged.
*Liz, what the hell are you doing?*
*Max, trust me. I know what I am doing*
"No, sorry but I want you, Katie and Vilandra. Then after I have killed everyone here. I will then take Liz and make her my Queen and we will rule Antar together with Katie as our daughter. And I will have Vilandra as my mistress."
"I will die before you take me as your Queen." Liz countered.
"Oh no my dear you won't. You will be alive to see all of your friends and family die." Kivar clicked his fingers and seven skins entered the room.
"Max we have to get Katie away from Kivar" Liz said with urgency.
Before Max had a chance to say anything. Liz stepped away from Max stared at Marcus and said "I have a little present from Larna." She then threw her hand up a bolt of energy appeared and went right into Marcus and he fell down. He then got up and limped
"Is that the best you can do?" he grinned.
"So chica, what's been going on with you and Max.?" Maria asked her best friend.
"Nothing. Why?" Liz lied not wanting to tell anybody. She had enough problems.
"Com'on baby sister. I can tell that something's up". Alex asked Liz using the words he knew Liz hated. 'baby sister.'
