Chapter 19:
"How do you get out of here Serena?", asked Maria. "Just wake up", said Serena. When she
said that the dreamscape started getting fuzzy and whirling around them. Next minute they were
all laying in the motel room. Everyone got off the floor and except Serena who started moaning
in pain again. "Oh God , it hurts so much, Please just stop the hurt, please", screamed Serena.
Max went up to her and sent a gust of healing energy but he also got connected to his brother,
he saw through Zan's eyes what they were ding to him. Rath and Vilondra were deciding which
punishment they should inflict. Max felt Zan's fear and his confusion on where the healing power
was coming from. Max tried communicating with Zan, saying, "We are coming for you baby
brother hold on", said Max out loud in his head. Zan must have heard because he started
looking around. He just knew he was losing his mind. Max almost laughed at his reaction. Max
stopped the connection and looked into Serena's eyes. He smiled at her and said, "He's going
to be alright, does he not know about your connection?". "No, he doesn't, we didn't have a
chance to talk about it you know, I don't think he is going to like it you know, I think it might
freak him out," said a sullen Serena. "What is that supposed to mean, my brother loves you,
being connected with you just proves that you are his soul mate. You know its funny how you
don't believe that when it is obvious. When I connected with you that's all I felt his love for you.
It was really annoying, you guys are probably be soul mates sappy like Max and Liz, damn,"
said a laughing Isabel. Everyone else laughed when Serena blushed. Ava looked at her in
surprise because Serena barely ever blushed. Ava smiled at her and walked up to her and gave
her hand picking her up from the ground. Serena winced from the pain that was in her abdomen.
She lifted up her blue t-shirt and everyone gasped. On her stomach was where buises black and
blue. "Damn, they are hurting him", said Alex. Serena said, "I know, God I know". "So, how
we going to do this, do we just holler for the midget or what/", asked Kyle. "I know, he found
us in the dreamscape before because of the bitch down on the ground, by the way when is she
going to get up, we need to do the mind warp too", said Maria. "She should wake up in an hour
I made sure of that going in to the dreamscape", said Serena. "Yo, we can do the mind warp
now actually its easier to get in because she is not awake, ready?", asked Ava. "Yeah I'm
ready", said Maria. Both Ava and Maria closed their eyes and went into Tess's twisted mind.
They implanted the idea of her still being pregnant, all the memories of this afternoon is
somewhat changed and she still believes that she was going home. She knows nothing about
future Serena and everything that happened when Future Serena was here, that kind of
information could get them all in trouble. They made sure that with their both combined powers
that Tess will never remember about the transference just like Nicholas did. When Tess wakes
up she will just remember Liz figuring out that she killed Alex and that they found out and saved
him. She will remember Max stopping the granolith from going to Antar and that Michael
knocked her unconscious. When they finished Maria swayed a little bit. Michael came up
behind her so she wouldn't fall and said, "You alright?". "Yeah I'm just not used to it yet that's
all, not to worry space boy, I'm alright", said Maria kissing him hard on the mouth, they started
getting carried away when Serena cleared her throat. Everyone laughed at Michael when he
blushed. Maria just smiled a dreamy smile. "As much as I like the love in the room, I don't like
watching my sister in the throws of passion so to speak", said Kyle. "Shut up Kyle", all the girls
said at the same time. "God I'm hurt", said Kyle dramatically. "As much fun as this is I'm
worried about Zan, let's get the troll so we can make a deal", said Isabel wringing her hands
together. Alex walked up to her and took her hands into his and kissed her knuckles. "He'll be
fine everyone wants him out, he's okay for know since Serena is fine", said Alex. Isabel turned
into his arms and kissed him gently on the mouth. "He's okay right Serena?", asked Isabel.
"Yeah, they stop hurting him, he's still in pain but not a great one.", replied Serena. "How do
we contact the mush for brains?", asked Kyle. "You know I can kill you right, earthingling", said
a snide Nicholas. He appeared before them in an astral projection. "Yeah whatever we want to
take the deal", said Kyle. "Yeah I want my brother and you get the granolith under one
condition is that you take the bitch with you" said max coldly. Everyone was surprised at his
language, Max never cursed, but they all understood how they felt they all wanted Tess gone.
"Fine, Vilondra won't like it but I don't really care, Kivar always loved woman", said Nicholas.
"Where is my brother?", asked Isabel. "No we will meet up near the granolith chamber", said
Nicholas. He wasn't going to let these kids get out of giving him the granolith. "You don't know
what the granolith is do you?", asked Nicholas. "Yeah it's a rocket ship programmed to go to
Antar," lied Alex. "Yeah that's what it is" smirked Nicholas. Serena and the other gave him a
funny look, when they knew he was lying. "Fine bring our brother to us and you get your rocket
ship", said Max. "What about your son?", asked Nicholas. "What about him, I don't even
know if she is pregnant with my child, she has the power to deceive me so why would she lie
about that", said Max. "Don't you care if she really is pregnant", asked Nicholas. "Yeah I do,
but I can't do anything about it okay, besides I figured that Kivar wouldn't want my son there
because my son can eventually get his throne, so I believe that Tess would probably bring him
back to me", said Max with a straight face. "Sure whatever where is the granolith", asked
Nicholas. He was feeling weary about trusting these people but what choice did he have Kivar
would kill him if he didn't bring the granolith back. Max told him he would meet him at the pod
chamber in an hour for the trade. Nicholas agreed and astral projected back into his body.
"Well, did the cornball go for the deal?", asked Vilondra impatiently. "Yeah he did, we meet in
an hour, there we kill them", said Nicholas menacingly. Rath and Vilondra smirked. Zan looked
at them in fear. Why would Max make the deal? Unless he had a plan. If Max was anything like
him he had a plan. He was still trying to figure out how he heard Max before and why he could
feel Serena's worry for him so strongly. "What about Zan boy here what do we do with him",
asked Rath. He waited this for so long he was going home. He knew that Vilondra was going to
be with Kivar but he didn't really care as long as he got home. "We bring him and kill them all at
the chamber", said Nicholas. He hate Rath and Vilondra so much but he wasn't going to kil
them Kivar would want Rath's influence even though he wasn't the true second- in- command
and Vilondra was his bitch as New Yorkers say so she would have to stay. He didn't tell
Vilondra about Queen Tess coming though.
Meanwhile max and the other were planning their counter-attack. "Maria you and Ava will have
to keep the mind warp for a long time so me, Michael, and Serena can kill Rath, Vilondra, and
Nicholas. I just hope they don't have any other people there", said a worried Max. "They won't
Zan is send me these vibes, I don't even think he know that he is doing it", said Serena. She still
looked pale, both Michael and Max tried to talk her out of coming with them but she was
determined to be there to get to Zan. They tried to argue but she wasn't hearing it. "Yeah I can
hold it long, can you Maria?", asked Ava. Ava was spending a half hour trying to teach Maria
the ability of hold it. "Yeah I can, you guys need to hurry, when I start weakening Ava you give
me a boost and I will be alright", said a determined Maria. Michael was talking her and Ava out
of coming inside the chamber with them and to do the mind warp outside but they said it would
be better inside the chamber so they know for certain it was working. Mind warping Nicholas is
harder then Tess and they were not taking any chances. Michael still didn't like that all his sisters
were risking their lives but they were stubborn like he was. "Liz you are not coming, Alex will
stay with you", said a determined Max when Liz volunteered to be a look out. "But Max I have
powers too, you letting Kyle go, why can't I go?", asked Liz. "Your pregnant I don't want
anything happening to you or the babies, why do you have to be so stubborn about this, Kyle I
told you is going because he is strong and can protect himself and he won't let Ava go alone,
but if you are there with me I won't concentrate and mess up, please Liz", said Max pleadingly.
Alex walked up to Liz and but his arm around her and said, "I understand you wanting to be
there you know look my girl is going too I don't like it but your pregnant you have to think of
your child now okay", said Alex in a calm voice. Liz sighed and said, "Alright but be careful
alright, this family doesn't work without you, baby please come back to me", said a tearful Liz.
Liz was still getting used to her ever changing hormonal emotions. "I will I'll ever leave you",
said Max hugging his girl. Liz looked at Michael and the rest of her family and said that a loud
"that means the rest of you too, my child needs uncles and aunts you know", said Liz. She was
scared she didn't trust Nicholas. Michael walked up to Liz and hugged her and said, "I'll
protect him I promise, be safe I trust Alex our brother to protect you", said Michael. He didn't
know when he got to so sentimental but he liked it. "Serena you said I had powers what are
they?", asked Alex. "Oh you can freeze people for short periods of time, and you do this cool
this with ice you can freeze peoples whole bodies, you could practice just in case", said Serena.
Then she doubled over in pain. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh", screamed Serena. Max ran to her and sent
a little healing power and Serena calmed down again. "We have to hurry they are hurting him",
said Serena in a pained voice. "Alright everyone let's roll. Michael bend down to pick up Tess
and throw her over his shoulder. Max kissed Liz on her mouth hard and tears leaked from her
eyes. "Come back to us okay", said Liz placing his hand on her stomach. He smile down at her
and said, "I will I don't leave you guys behind never, you're my life", said Max. Kyle walked
over to Liz and said, "We won't let anything happen to him, I promise" and hugged her. "I
know take care of my sisters for me and my stubborn brother too", said Liz. She included
Maria in the sister thing and Isabel too because in her heart they were. She looked at them to
make sure they understood that. Isabel who was in Alex's arms smiled at her and Maria just
smirked. Man she acted like Michael sometimes. "I'll take care of them chica, no worries", said
Maria. Ava walked up to her and hugged her and said, "No one is messin with my fam that's
everyone in this room plus Zan, don't worry", said Ava. Liz hugged everyone and so did Alex.
Isabel kissed Alex and said, "I'll be back and we can get married". Alex smiled at this. Max
went up to Alex and said, "I trust you with her life protect her please". "I will she is my sister,
do me a favor and protect my girl too, and my sisters and my brother they can be stubborn
when they want to be", said Alex. "No problem", said Max hugging Alex. They all walked out
of the motel door except Liz and Alex. Max smiled at Liz and waved. Liz mouth I love you to
him. Izzy ran back and kissed Alex hard on the lips saying in a soft voice "I love you so much".
She looked at Liz and said, "I love you too, protect him for me". Liz smiled and said, "I will".
Isabel shut the door and walked to the car with Ava driving.
