CHAPTER 3

"I can't believe she looks like me" Isabel moaned as she took another slice of pizza from the box in the Evans' kitchen.

"At least she didn't decide to wreck you apartment! How does she change places just like that?" Michael said loudly whilst taking huge mouthfuls of the pizza. He sat on top of the dining table, whilst Isabel had her legs crossed in a chair beside it.

"I know, all she did was raise her arms" Isabel replied. "Oh my god we didn't tell Max that did we? Perhaps that how she does it! Maybe if we hold her arms..."

"Then she couldn't do it! Let's go tell Maxwell."

Michael dumped the empty pizza box in the bin and led the way to Max's room. The door was open. He looked into see the girl raising her arm at Max who hadn't seen her.

"MAX!" Michael shouted as he jumped on top of the girl. The girl was screaming and twisting. Michael couldn't keep hold of her much longer.

"MAX! HER ARMS!" He shouted.

Max grabbed her wrists and held her tight.

"LET GO OF ME!" she screamed.

"No" Max replied calmly. Isabel passed him a length of rope she had got from the kitchen. Max bound her hand and Michael took hold of hr wrists to make sure. Max went and stood in front of the girl.

"Who are you?"

She didn't answer.

"Who are you??" Max said raising his voice.

"You know who I am, Uncle Zan."

Isabel's stomach flipped. If she thought Max was Zan, did that mean that Rath and Lonnie were this girl parents?

"I'm not Zan."

"Sure you all just look like the family that left me to fend for myself! How convenient!" the girl muttered darkly to them.

"HE'S NOT ZAN!" Michael shouted at her.

"Michael, it's ok! I'll deal with her." Max told him. He turned back to the girl.

"I'm going to show you ok? Look." Max reached out and touched the girl. The girl saw pictures of this guy live all his life in Roswell, New Mexico. A guy who had fallen in love with a human. A guy who had met Lonnie, Rath and Ava.

Max took back his hand.

"See?" He asked.

The girl looked like she was in shock. Hesitantly she said... "You're not Zan are you?"

"No. My name is Max. This is Isabel and Michael."

The girl looked astounded.

"What's your name?" Max asked her.

"Rie" she said quietly.

"Rie, what happened to you? What did they do to you?" Max asked as gently but as urgently as he could.

"They abandoned me. Rath and Lonnie, my own parents. They gave life to me and then dumped me in a street. I couldn't find them" Rie whispered. She began to softly cry.

Isabel wasn't buying it. Neither was Michael.

"Why do you look like me?" She fired at the girl.

"And how come you can move places?" Michael asked glaring at her.

"I call it a shift. And the answer to both you're questions is that I am not a hybrid like you. I'm completely alien."
