Chapter 21
Max let everyone pass the only people not yet in the granolith chamber was Serena and Zan.
Zan was in serious pain. Max made him lay down outside of the chamber. Zan looked up and
saw the pods, where his siblings were born. Max pressed his hands against his chest and
formed a connection. "You have to look at me Zan", said Max. Serena was holding Zan's
hands and kissing his forehead. Zan looked at the eyes that were so similar to his own and let
Max heal him. Max saw a serious of flashed from Zan coming out the pods, hearing of his
destiny, meeting and falling in love with Serena, being scard that he was going to die, him getting
to see his sibilings interact by Nicholas showing him, his pain finding that Serena move on with
that Brian guy, and his pain from the beatings that Vilondra and Rath inflicted on him. Max also
saw how Zan felt about him and the others. He felt love for them. He broke the connection and
looked at his brother and said, "Welcome home Zan". Zan smiled and said, "Yeah its good to
be home". Serena smiled at the two brothers and kissed Zan again on the mouth. "You really
okay", said Serena. "Yeah I'm really okay", said Zan in response. Ma pulled Zan onto his feet
and Max followed them into the granolith chamber where all hell was breaking lose. Michael
was fighting Rath and Isabel was fighting Vilondra. "Get off of me bitch", yelled Maria when
Tess tried to grab her hair. Max and Zan ran in with Serena following them. Nicholas was trying
to make the granolith boot up quick and it was working. Zan shoot a energy ball at him and
Nicholas flew. Max looked up surprised he didn't know he had that power. Michael was
kicking Rath's ass. He couldn't stand his dupe. This jerk hurt Zan which meant he hurt his sister.
He got tired of it and started banging the dupe's head against the ground repeatedly. "So we
meet again, Bitch, you know Kivar would never love you he always loved me", said Vilondra.
"I don't want Kivar, Vilondra, and he doesn't want you", said Isabel. Two princesses battling
for the win. Isabel sent small puffs of fire through her hands. Vilondra put of a small shield and
deflected it. Ava was mind warping Nicholas and the others while Kyle protected her he wasn't
going to let anything happen to his girl. Serena took over for Maria in fighting Tess so Maria
could Serena. Man she hated this bitch. This chick messed with her family. "How do you know
my name?", asked a curious Tess. "Don't you remember me, I refused you coronation to King
Zan", said Serena. Tess felt an odd case of Déjà vu. Her eyes went wide and she whispered,
"Callie, how is this possible", said Tess. "I killed you on Antar, how did you get here", asked
Tess. "That is not your business, and you wasn't woman enough to kill me you little shit", said
Serena. Tess raised her hand to do battle but nothing happened. "What the hell is going on what
happened to my powers?", yelled Tess. "Well my dear we took them that's what we did", said
Serena. "I'm not going to stand her, I still got the heir I'm leaving", said Tess. She ran and
touched the granolith and got sucked into the granolith cone. Nicholas had gotten up even after
the blast to the wall and saw Tess running for the granolith. Before Zan could get another shot in
he put his hand to the granolith and also got sucked into the cone. Rath and Vilondra looked up
and were about to make a run for the granolith when they were hit and turned to dust with two
fire balls coming at them. They all looked up in surprise and saw Zan and Serena stand next
together hold each others hands up and their hands where glowing. The earth started moving
and Serena and the others swayed side to side. Kyle yelled "Let's get out of here". He grabbed
Maria and Ava's hands and ran out of the granolith chamber. Isabel followed with Michael and
Max. Zan and Serena were the last ones out. They ran down the hill and the whole rock
formation exploded in a big blast. Lava spewed from the sides and the whole earth rumbled in
protest. Everyone one of them looked up and saw the rocket ship barrel its way into the
horizon. It was an amazing sight. Oh my god was the general sentiment that came out of
everyone's mouth. Michael and Maria hugged each other as did Ava and Kyle and Serena and
Zan. The rest of them stood around and looked up to were two of their biggest enemies left.
"Let's go home", said Max.
They all began walking down back to the cars. Isabel knew that Serena wanted to be with Zan
so she walked to the Jetta to sit in the backseat with Max. When she got in she let a sigh of
relief. "Thank you god", said Isabel out loud. Maria looked at her and laughed. "That was the
exactly thing was thinking. "Here Max call Liz tell her were are on the way", said Maria. Max
eagerly took the phone and dialed Liz cell phone. Liz answered on the first ring "Thank god,
Max I was so worried, are you alright, I love you so much, did you get Zan? Oh god, Max you
scared me", said Liz in one breath. He laughed he loved hearing her babble. "Yes, baby I'm fine
and we got Zan we are on the way to you right know", said Max. They talked for a bit and
Max passed Isabel the phone so that she could talk to Alex. Isabel had tears in her eyes when
he came on the phone "How you feeling princess? Are you alright? You coming right?", asked a
frantic Alex. "Yes I'm coming home to you, I love you Alex very much", said Isabel. "I love you
too Isabel very much", said Alex. They hung up and Isabel sighed again.
In the other car, Ava and Kyle were fighting for something to listen to that didn't sound corny.
"Kyle you suck this is not music", said Ava shacking her head. Kyle smiled at her and
whispered in her ears "If you let me listen to this I'll make you feel good" Ava blushed and
shivered. Damn how can he do that to her. She nodded her head and let him listen to that junk
he considered music. She looked into her rearview mirror and saw Zan playing with Serena's
hair and kissing her forehead. He looked so happy. Serena had her eyes closed with an equally
wide smile on her face. Zan looked up and saw Ava looking at him and she smiled at him. Ava
mouth the words Be Happy. Zan replied in the same manner I am. He shifted his attention back
to Serena. God he was happy she was really in his arms like he always dreamed of. She smelled
like vanilla and strawberries and had a totally feminine smell all Serena. Serena leaned in a
kissed him on the mouth again and tears spilled form her eyes. "I love you Zan, I love you so
much, forgive me for not being with you", said Serena looking up in his Amber eyes. "Hey none
of that lets keep the past where it belongs in the past, I'm not letting you go again. I love you
baby so much", said Zan in a whispered tone. His throat tighten from the knowledge that she
was his forever. He was still worried about this Brian guy but they would talk about it later.
Ten minutes they reached the hotel and parked the car and saw Liz and Alex running out of the
motel room coming to meet them. Liz ran up to Max and jumped into his arms kissing him like
there was no tomorrow. Alex went up to Isabel and hugged her tightly. God what would he do
if he ever lost her. Tears leaked from his eyes. God he loved this woman. She smiled up at him
and wiped his tears. "I'm home I'm never leaving you", said Isabel. Zan had gotten out of the
car with Serena wrapped tightly around his waist. He watch his brother and sister and their
mates. He was happy for them. Liz finally noticed him and smiled and walked up to him hugging
him tightly and said, "Welcome home Zan, it's good to finally meet you". Zan laughed and said,
"Thanks, its good to be home". Isabel saw him and walked over and when Liz let go hugged
him with all her might. Zan hugged her just as tight and closed his eyes. Yup she was nothing like
Vilondra. She was pure and good. "If you guys don't stop crying when you see me I'll get some
complex", joked Zan. Isabel looked into the eyes that were so much like Max and smiled at him
through her tears. He looked just like Max with the exception of the slightly wild hair and the
eyebrow piercing and the tattoos of course, but his eyes were kind and caring just like Max.
She hugged him again. "Izzy let the man go, you gonna kill him you holding onto him so tight",
said Michael. Maria just smirked and walked up to Zan looked him up and down and smiled
giving him a kiss on the cheek, and said, "Welcome to our weird family". "Let's go inside so we
could decide what to do", said Max taking on the leadership role that once was a burden for
him but now he felt that belonged to him somehow.
