Ch.4: Enough Interrogating/ the Battle Ends
When Isabel arrived at the apartment Jesse was sitting on the couch waiting for her. "Where've you been?" "Jesse, it's late what are you still doing up?" "I should ask you the same question. Where were you?" "I was at Michael's." "Why?" "Would you stop interrogating me? God Jesse I haven't committed any crimes. I've been having some personal problems to deal with okay but I'm handling it and none of which includes you." "That's where you're wrong Isabel. You're my wife, since when did we start lying to each other? Isabel I can't help you unless you tell me what's going on." "Jesse you can't help me, this is something I need to figure out on my own." "Fine but would you stop being so vague?" "No because my life has always been unclear Jesse; Ever since that moment when my parents found me and Max out in the desert that night; I'm finally starting to understand pieces of my life; of my past before I was adopted but I need to do it alone." "Fine then I'll be at the Hyperspace motel." "You don't have to leave." "I think I do. Call me when you've gotten things sorted out." Jesse left the apartment.
When Isabel had gone to bed she was having a difficult time sleeping what else was new? Another memory had returned.
The battle on Antar was nearly at an end, the only Antarians that had not been injured or killed where the Royal Four. Kivar then used his power on Zan and Ava. "Nooo!" cried Vilandra. "You said you wouldn't kill them." "I said that but I changed my mind, they're worth more to me dead." Vilandra and Rath quickly rushed to their king's side and Vilandra began talking to her brother, "Zan. Zan look at me. Please don't die don't die on my Zan not because of this; not because of me. I'm sorry Zan, I'm so sorry." "I know Vi. I forgive you and I love... you sis." "No, Zan wake up. Zan!" Rath put his hand on Vilandra's shoulder; "Oh how sweet," said Kivar. As they were mourning their king Kivar came up behind Rath and Vilandra and stabbed them both in the back and turned them over so they would be facing him. "Now my precious princess, watch your fiancé die like you watched your brother die. You have no idea how much I've enjoyed this." Before Rath died he used his powers on Kivar and gave him one last blow; Vilandra died shortly after.
Isabel quickly woke up. "Max, Michael!" Once Isabel began to notice where she was she slowly began to calm down. Since she couldn't fall back to sleep Isabel decided to watch some TV; she rarely watched it but at four in the morning there wasn't much else to do. Once Isabel got tired of channel surfing Isabel decided to call Michael. "Hello," Michael answered on the other line. "Michael, I'm sorry did I wake you?" "No I've been up for a while. I some how knew you were going to call." "Really? How?" "I don't know just a feeling I guess. So what's up?" "Do you think we can meet at the cliff around dawn?" "Yeah sure; is everything okay?" "Yea I just think we really need to talk." "Okay I'll be there."
