[Hey all!!!!!!! I'm back. I pretty much figured out the rest of the story,
but not completely. If you have any ideas or suggestions it might help and
I'll give you credit. Thanx a bunch for the wonderful support.]
Chapter... Who da fuck knows?!?
Liz's POV
I ran down the street, past houses and cars. I ran until I was out of breath, and then slowed down to calm my muscles. I didn't stop though. I couldn't stop. No one was chasing me, not yet anyways. I was glad I had brought a change of clothes with me to Maria's; I couldn't go back to Michael's to get the rest of my stuff. Michael... God, I miss him already. It had only been a couple hours since I last saw him. I only met him a little over 24 hours ago. Would he be worried about me? Nah. He knows I can take care of myself. Sorta. Maybe he thinks I don't care, and that's why I didn't say goodbye. Damn I hope not. He's the nicest person I've ever met. Maybe I'll call him once I get to where ever it is I'm going. Just to tell him I'm alright. What would I say? Shit!!!! I don't have any money. O well. I've run away with less before. But they always found me, always. Why would this time be any different? Because I'm not running away for me anymore, I'm running away for them. If... No when he finds me he'll kill me. That is not an exaggeration.
*Beep* *Beep*
Fuck a car. I move to the side of the road so the car can pass by. But the car, or truck rather, slows down and drives parallel to me. I get scared now and begin to walk faster with my head down. Not making eye contact. I know it's silly to be afraid, I've got alien powers. But I can't risk exposing my powers to a human. But if you kill him he can't talk. No! I'm not like Zan and Lonnie and...
"'Scuse me miss, you need a ride?"
"No thanx, I'd ratha walk."
"Where ya headed?"
"Da bus station."
"That's a long way off from here, 3 miles or so."
"It's a nice night, and I'm not up fer company right now eitha'."
No sooner had the words left my mouth, than the sky opened up and rained. In the span of a minute I was soaked to the bone, and shivering so bad each step took forever.
"Come on now. You can't walk in this weather. I'm not gonna hurt ya or nothin'. I'm the sheriff."
I looked at him for the first time and realized he was telling the truth. He had a badge, and a siren on top of the car. He was even wearing a cowboy hat. I hate authority of any kind, I guess from growing up without any parents. I wanted to tell him to go fuck himself then blast his ass. But I didn't want to act suspicious. He seemed like a nice enough guy, and it didn't look like he knew who or what I was. I most certainly didn't want to walk in ankle deep water and freeze my ass off.
"Aiight."
"Great, hop on in."
"Thanx."
"No problem. I'm sheriff Valenti by the way."
"I'm Liz."
"Strange isn't it. Rain in Roswell? This is the desert after all."
"Wouldn' know."
"Bus station, huh? Where do you think you're goin' at 12 am? What are you runnin' away from?"
"I ain't runnin'. I need a change in scenery, tha's all."
"Funny, 'cuz Maria said you ran out of her place like a bat out of hell, and didn't look back. She said you looked scared shitless."
"Ya know Maria?"
"Yup, sure do. She's real worried about you."
"Pffft. Yeah right."
"When she called she was crying. She didn't think you'd be coming back."
"Well, she's right. I ain't."
"What about Michael? And Alex? And..."
"You don't know nothin' 'bout me and Michael. Stay out 'a it. Pull ovah', I'll walk tha rest a the way."
"I'll take ya. I'm just wondering what would scare you so bad you would take off in the middle of the night."
"Technically, it's mornin' ain't it?"
"Something has got you running. Or someone..."
"Shut da fuck up!" pause, and deep breath. "Look, I'm sorry I yelled at ya Sheriff"
"Please call me Jim, Liz."
"Ise sorry I yelled at ya like dat Jim. But ya gotta undastand. This has nothin' ta do wit ya. I can handle it on my own."
"Running away won't solve anything."
"Youse right."
"I am? I mean, of course I am."
"Not abou' the runnin' away. I'm dealin' wit somethin' big. You'd be betta off stayin outta it."
"If this involves Max and Michael and Isabel and Tess, then it does concern me."
"Ya know 'bout dem?"
"Yes I do. We're friends. We help each other out of jams. Watch each other's backs."
"God! Does ev'ry freakin' puhson in Roswell know they'se aliens?"
"No just Maria, Alex, me, and my son Kyle."
"Do you regret it? Knowin' I mean."
"No, I can honestly say I don't regret anything I've done. I'm glad to help if I can. That means you too Liz."
"Thanx. But ya can't help me, no one can. They is some peoples afta' me. But theyse powahful. Too powahful."
"I'm the sheriff, Liz. I have resources."
"So do they. Betta and stronga ones."
"What about Max and Michael, they'll help if they can."
"Look. If, no when dese 'people' find me, I'm dead. And ev'ryone else I care about. I can't let dat happen. Now please, take me tuh the bus station."
"The buses don't run after 10 pm in Roswell. It opens again at 8 am."
"Why didn' ya tell me? Now what am I gonna do?"
"you can stay at my house overnight. I have a spare bedroom. We can even find some old clothes of Kyle's for you to wear. I'll drive you to the station in the morning. Besides, you look like you could use a good night's rest."
"Aiight. But ya can't tell no ones I'm heah."
"Deal."
[Hey guys. This chapter was kinda boring, and the next chapter Li meets Kyle. But after that it will get exciting I promise. Could the truth of her appearance in Roswell be revealed? Find out in the next installment.]
