bChapter 15- Dreaming of What Once Was!/b





I pulled the car in front of the gallery just as I have done for the past couple of months. Getting out of the car and walking in the building and to the desk where Sarah sat, she waved me inside and continued to talk on the phone. I long ago figured out that the so called business calls where actually to her boyfriend.

I started to walk towards the office part of the gallery, when I heard Sarah calling my name. Turningaround she snapped her fingers and pointed to the opposite hallway. Raising my eyebrow at her she just shrugged her shoulders and went back to her conversation. Walking down the hallway I started to hear the voices a little clearer, they were still muffled but I could defiantly hear Anya talking to someone.

Turning the corner my heart jumped and my breath got caught in my throat, as I saw the man that she was standing in front of I turned around and ran in the direction I came, I ignored Sarah yelling my name. Pushing the glass door hearing it clang as I crashed against the wall and walking over to my parked car, getting inside. Jamming my keys into the ignition and slamming my foot on the gas, squealing out of the parking lot.

Driving way past the speed limit down the street past the couples walking, the teenagers skipping school and a class filled of grade four's walking to a school trip. Driving so fast that they were only flashes of light, turning the corner of the street and screeching the car to a halt. Resting my over heated face on my hands across the steering wheel. After a couple moments I heard the passenger door open and someone side beside me.

"What's wrong your panic almost knocked me off my feet?" Allie asked.

Turning towards her I sat back up and rubbed my face, "They've found us."

Allie's faced whipped towards me and her eyes grew, "W...what!"

I took her hand in mine and turned in my seat to look at her straight in the eyes, "At the Gallery today I was meeting Sarah and she was already in a meeting. When I found her she.... well she was," I rubbed my forehead.

"Liz, what!!"

I turned in my seat and calmly explained to her what I saw.

She started laughing when I finished and I glared at her, once she saw the seriousness in my eyes she gasped. "Your serious aren't you?" she asked looking over at me. "Oh god.." she cried jumping out of the car. Jumping out after her, I walked to the front of the car and watched as she paced in front of me.

"Allie!"

"There gonna find us," she mumbled pacing faster.

"Cheeks!"

"There gonna make us come back," she cried, tears running down her cheeks.

"Alexia!" I yelled grabbing her head between my hands and forcing our eyes to meet. "I am the best transgenic that Manticore has. I did everything, took every precaution that I could think of to make us safe. If by a small chance that they found us I will make sure we will stay safe."

"But, y..you said that..t was.....," she said while wiping her tears off her cheeks.

"It was probably just stress and the last couple of weeks getting to me. I was probably just hallucinating," I whispered to her and wiped the rest of her tears of her face.

"Come on, let's go home."

"Kay," she replied nodding. Together we got back in the car and drove around for awhile and when it was time we picked Eva and Hope up at Daycare.

The day turned into night and the kids have long been asleep. Looking through some of the pictures that I brought of Alex and I. Leaving the pictures of Maria and everyone else in Roswell because if well, I couldn't stand looking at them. My eyes started to close and before I knew it I was dreaming of what once was.

i"Alex, stop!" I cried as he chased me around my parents empty apartment. I watched myself jump over the couch and run down the stairs, Alex hot on my heels. Turning the corner I ran into the kitchen grabbing the hose that was attached to the sink and pointing it straight toward him. "Try something, I dare you."

Alex's head wiped around looking both ways before his eyes lied on a bowl of icing, that I had previously made for the cake in the oven. "You wouldn't dare," Alex challenged, while picking up the icing bowl.

"Try me," I yelled as the water came out and landed all over his face and shirt. Turning off the water and looking at him I started cracking up. Holding my stomach and holding myself up by resting my hand on the table.

Suddenly a cold substance landed over the side of my face, and ran down to my shirt. I stopped laughing and glared at him, he shrugged his shoulders and grabbed another spoon full of icing. I picked up the flour that was laying on it's side on the counter.

Holding my hand back aiming it at him, the moment before he let the spoonful go I threw the flour at him making his face go white. Chuckling at him and before I knew what happened the kitchen was covered in white flour and red, green, pink and purple icing. Alex and I where covered from head to toe not just from the original fight but from rolling around on the flour laughing as we were doing when the scene went black and then changed.

"Look at them so god damn cocky," Alex said his head in his hands, in the booth at the Crashdown.

I watched myself lift my head back up from where it rested on the back of the booth, "Cocky bastards.." I said looking over at the others walking into the Crashdown.

"So what can I get you?" Amy the waitress asked as she came up to the booth chewing her gum loudly.

"Rum and coke."

All she did was stare at us over her glasses.

"Sex on the beach," I added.

"Tequila Sunrise." Alex said laughing

"Coolers."

"Martinni."

"Vodka," he replied looking over his menu.

I leaned closer to her and whispered "B-52's."

She spun around and walked back to the counter. Spinning back around in my seat, "I give her one hour."

Just as it did before the scene turned black and then changed, this time to a hotel room. I knew the moment it happened, probably the second; It was the day I found out Alex had died, I had planted a device that let me listen in any conversation at the Crashdown. But, the problem was it would only last for two weeks after I leave and tonight would have been the last night I could hear my friends voices, there laughter and mostly there endless teasing. But, instead I heard crying, sobbing and comforting words; but the words that were still in the air that circulated around the hotel cut me in every way possible. "There's been an ancient, Alex's dead." I curled up beside Eva and cried silently.

Suddenly the picture exploded and in it's place showed a girl tears running down her face running as fast as her legs could carry her. Rain poured and soaking her clothes. Falling over something she crashed to the ground, her head smacking across a rock she curled into a fetal position and sobbed until there was no tears left. Slowly she got up and carried her tired body back the way she came and as her body got smaller and smaller until there was nothing left the picture changed.

The night was un-sually cold for Roswell and the stars cast a glow over the two teens that slowly rocked each other on the swings. There hands clasped together so tightly that they had been white for a long time now. There tears that have continued to flow even though there fingertips had wiped them away furiously time after time. They pumped there legs harder and there hands could no longer stay together, higher and higher they went until there legs started to burn.

"Let's go!"

"Where do you want to go?"

"To the stars, take me to the stars."/i

I shot up in bed and grabbed my chest clutting my eyes shut, suddenly they opened wide, "Oh god!"

"I told you I would never leave you," the dark figure said stepping in the room.
