Well I'm back again still owning nothing.
Chapter three"Okay so I guess you guys want me to explain?" Said Izzy finally breaking the silence. They all stood just staring at her. "Its Trevor, he sent this to me I don't know what it means, but he seemed worried." She continued rambling on, becoming increasingly nervous "It just all happened so fast that was all I got out of him, I wish it was more, but ohhhh" She finally broke down. Alex went over and wrapped her up in his arms. It comforted her a little, but it wasn't the same the bond she had shared with Trevor had been totally different, to feel the terror she had coming from him in that dream had disturbed her. Something needed to be done.
Max stood there silently, his arms tightly round Liz, he looked worried to, "Guys" he finally said, "I've seen Trevor too" Izzy looked up shocked, " He came to me in a kind of day dream, It just happened he was there surrounded by green cloud, practically drowning in it, I think he's trying to warn us about something" The easy atmosphere of the room had totally vanished, replaced by a tense fear, like that they where haunted with when battling the collective. Max was a strong leader. However he still felt worried, they had come pretty close to losing last time and he couldn't risk that again. Slipping away from Liz he moved to the middle of the circle, standing in front of Izzy he looked determined, "Do you think you could reach him again?"
"I'm not sure, possibly, it felt like he was dream walking me, I don't know if I have that kind of power" That's the trouble thought Michel, we don't know ourselves well enough. He told us we have all this power "we just don't know how to use it properly" Everyone turned to look at Michel who had been unusually quiet.
What's that sweetie?" Asked Maria
" Isabel's not sure what she's capable of, but neither am I or Max, If Trevor's gonna lay another battle on us how are we supposed to fight?!" He could feel the anger building up in side of himself, "look guys, I think we need a break lets say we meet back here tomorrow morning?" Everyone seemed to agree the whole situation seemed to be zapping away there energy.
Everyone had left and Michel went to his room and flopped out onto his bed. Staring at the ceiling he began to concentrate, he was trying to let his mind travel as far as it could as though sending out a beacon of his power, to try to attract, someone to help him. "Hey Mickey" he jumped up in a shot "Geeezze Maria, watcher trying to do? Give me a heart attack?"
"No sweetie I just thought you might like some company, hear smell this" She said thrusting a bottle under his nose " Its for calming the nerves"
"Look Maria this isn't a good time…"
"Yes it is, we work better in a team, look we don't have to talk, I'll just sit here with you" Michel smiled to himself, his kitten, she probably just needed some company " Oh okay baby just come here then" He swept her up in his arms and feel back on to the bed, kissing her gently he told her he'd always be there. Michel knew he would wanted to be, but slowly, like a spreading vine, doubts where starting to creep in to his mind about what was coming, and whether there would be any more lives cost.
Sitting at the dresser in her bedroom, Liz sat sorting through photographs. She laughed as she found a pile that must have been taken by Adam, photos of toast and toasters, also a close up he did when learning to use the camera, she remembered the shocked look on his face after the flash had gone of in his eye. All of a sudden she felt a pang of sadness that ran through her body, she remembered how his dead body had looked, he'd been so full of life, the next second it had all gone. A tear crept to her eye, Adam had been so sweet to her, but she loved Max… MAX! She thought looking up at her clock she was 15 minutes late to meet him. Running in to her bathroom she slid down her nightgown and grabbed at a dress. " Don't feel you have to get dressed on my account" came a voice from behind her "MAX!" She ran at him as he scoped her up into a big hug, "I'm sorry I totally lost track of time, all these photos and Adam and Trevor and…." He cut her of with a kiss. Smiling from ear to ear she kissed him back.
Max held Liz to him stroking her hair, "Its ok, it doesn't matter. What that about Adam?" He knew he shouldn't but Max still felt a little sore about how close Liz and Adam had become. Looking over at her dresser he saw piles of photographs, he went over and picked one up, It was Michel and Trevor just goofing around pulling faces. "I guess I missed out on a lot huh?" He hated the collective for the time they had stolen from him.
"Max…." he felt Liz's arms sneaking around his waist " You know I love you right"
He turned into her "I love you so much but everything that happen with Adam, I don't know how to explain it, I was feeling so insecure. It was any thing serious. But you do know I love you" Max could see specks of nervous orange appearing on her aura. He stroked her soft hair trying to sooth her, "I love you too sweetie, I love you too"
Liz suddenly tensed up, she realised she hadn't yet gotten properly dressed. Grinning to him self Max noticed the same thing. She tried to wriggle out of his arms but he pulled her down "Max" She squeaked, but that was all the protest she offered.
