Chapter 28:
Serena looked at Zan's eyes and could tell he was worried but he was trying his best not to
make her nervous about that judge. She knew who it was and she was going have to tell the rest
of them that they had to get ready to fight. "You know who he is don't you?", asked Zan.
Serena nodded her head and looked at him again after chewing nervously on her bottom lip.
Zan take his thumb and swiped his thumb over her mouth indicating to her not to abuse her lips
that way. She smiled at him and answered, "We are going have to train that's Kivar's little
brother, and let me tell you if he is here Kivar or Nicholas is not far behind". Zan's eyes widen
and he pulled Serena into his embrace. He would die before he let anything happen to her.
Reading his thoughts Serena replied, "You can't die understand , I can't got through that again,
I went through it twice before I can't handle it again, I pretended to Ava that I was alright when
she told me but I dies Zan do you understand Brian was an escape for me so the pain wouldn't
consume me, please you can't leave me, I need you okay". Serena had tears following down
her eyes. She knew she was over-reacting but she couldn't help it. The thought of losing him
was too painful. She just couldn't live through that again. Zan looked at her and wiped away her
tears. "I won't leave you, I promise Serena, you're my life. What do you mean twice?", asked
Zan. Serena looked at him again in his beautiful amber eyes and kissed him softly on the mouth
and said, "On Antar you died in my arms, I have been getting memories back, I guess my
powers are growing or something, but anyway, Kivar sneaked into our room and killed you
from back. I walked in a little while later, and saw you dying. God there was blood everywhere
and you just smiled at me and told me that you loved me and that we will be together forever.
Zan I didn't get to tell you I was pregnant. I kissed you and you left me. It was the most painful
experience of my entire life. I lost Rath and Amelia and everyone else was on the verge of dying
the only two people alive were me and Max and god, we saved me and got himself killed. He
also died in my arms. He didn't want to live I know that because Amelia was dead but God I
wanted to die then. Kivar just laughed at me while I cried over Max's body and He shot me
killing me", said Serena tearfully.
Michael came in searching for Zan and Serena because him and Maria had been waiting in the
car for ten minutes and the others had already gone to his house. He started feeling his sister's
panic and saw Zan holding his crying sister. He went into protective mode and walked up to
them. "What the hell happened", asked Michael. Zan looked at him with tears in his eyes and
Michaels' anger turned into fear. Zan hardly ever cried what the hell is going on. "Kivar's
brother is here, he was one of the judges. Serena saw him oh god", said Zan. Michael looked at
the man who loved his sisiter, the man wo was his best-friend's brother, the man he considered
a brother also felt his fear. He never felt anything like that in his life. He usually felt his sisters and
Maria and on occasion Max and Isabel but never felt Zan. Their connection to each other must
be getting stronger and if that was the case, if one of them were to get hurt they would all feel it
too. That fact worried him. "Let's go to the house and talk to everyone else, about everything
okay, and then we will watch some movies and try to get some sleep", said Michael in a calm
voice while his heart was bounding fast in his chest. He was scared out of his mind which meant
that the others were feeling it too. Zan nodded his head and followed Michael to the car with his
arms wrapped closely around Serena.
"I feel his fear again I don't like this at all", said Liz while sitting in Serena's house with the
others. Ava looked scared she was also feeling Serena's fear. She didn't like it one bit. She had
always been close with Serena, when she learned that Serena was her sister it was the happiest
day of her life. She didn't like Serena feeling fear. The other's connection with her is not strong
enough yet but Ava knew that they felt Serena's fear too. Alex looked around and couldn't
stand the amount of anxiety that was in the room. Max looked tense, Isabel, Liz, and Ava was
showing large amounts of fear, and Kyle was wringing his hands together like Isabel does when
she is scared. He didn't like what Kivar, Nicholas, and Tess were doing to his family.
Whenever he remembered Tess he felt his stomach flip with disgust and pain. She killed him. If
it wasn't for Serena he wouldn't be alive today. That thought alone scared him. He didn't want
to die, and he didn't want any of his family to die. He loved them more then words could
describe. He was home in every sense of the word. He wouldn't let those bastards hurt his
family. His thoughts wandered to about a couple of days after the meeting with the Evan's.
"Yo Alex, pass me the remote control", said Zan. They all decided to have a guy's day thing
while the girls went shopping for God knows what. Alex tossed remote to Zan and continued to
watch Max and Michael have an argument on the importance of the body count in Braveheart.
"I'm telling you Max its 288 I saw it", said Michael. "No its not its 287 you counting that head
twice", said Max in a reply that Alex just found funny. Alex bust out laughing. "What's so funny
Whitman", asked Kyle watching the sports channel with Zan on the couch of the Valenti house.
"Nothing I just find it funny, that the king and his second-in-command are talking about head
counts", said Alex laughing again. Max and Michael glared at him and Max replied, "Well at
least we are warriors while your biggest threat is Isabel and her decorating magazines".
Everyone bust out laughing when both Alex and Zan shuddered. "Shut up like you not scared of
her, I don't care what any one says that woman is scary", said Alex. They just continued
laughing and enjoy their supposed guys day with out the girls. "I wonder what the girls are
doing?", asked Kyle. He hated t admit is but he missed Ava. "God you whupped", said Zan
throwing a pillow at Kyle's head. "Yeah like you are not wondering the same thing about where
Serena is and what Victoria Secret underwear she buying", said Kyle throwing the pillow back
at his head. "How do you know that they are at Victoria Secret's?", asked Michael. "Oh I saw
Ava flipping through those magazines and she said that they were going, Liz was there too Max
and asked my opinion on this one", said Kyle showing him the red teddy on page 24. Max's
eyes widen and rolled back in the back of his head imagining Liz in that. "She said she was
going to buy that?", asked a suddenly dry-mouthed Max. "Yup but she said something to
Serena about getting in black, but Serena instead that she should get it in red so she could get
the black one", said Kyle smiling when Zan's head turned so fast he looked like he could get
whip lash. "Let me see that", said Zan. He looked at the picture and closed his eyes. Visions of
Serena taking that off got him too hot for words. "Isabel and Maria were there too, if you want
to know what they were going to get", said Kyle in a smirk. Michael and Alex looked at him
and said, "Spill it Valenti". Kyle pointed to Various stuff that he had to give his opinion on when
the girls were at his house. They actually thought he could actually give useful information on the
topic. They just made him horny. "Damn you think they will by that stuff?", asked Alex fanning
himself. "Yup Serena got her credit card and wanted to spend her father's money you know",
said Kyle frowning. He hated how Langely treated Serena. She cried after talking to him that's
why the girls were at his house in the first place. She was sleeping over until she got her own
house. Ava called the girls over to get Serena's mind of it. Zan saw Kyle frowned and asked,
"What's up dude, what did that bastard do to her again?" He could barely contain his anger, he
hated Serena hurting. "You know the usual, hateful words, I just don't get it Serena's is his flesh
and blood, why does he continue to treat her like shit, I know the whole Alien thing is not the
excuse he is giving her, so is the deal?", asked a confused Kyle. "I don't know its always been
that way, when we were 12 he brought us ice-cream and none for her and she didn't say
anything she just said that it was normal for him to forget her", said Zan frowning. "That bastard,
he is a dick head for real", said Michael in an anger tone. "I know that's so wrong I don't
understand how anyone can treat their own flesh and blood like that besides Serena is a good
person, she deserve family that love her you know", said Max. He was frowning too. This man
was supposed to be their protector if he treated his own daughter that way how would he have
treated them. He shuddered at the thought. "I know my sister doesn't deserve this, you too
Michael, you didn't deserve anything Hank did to you", said Alex looking into Michael's eyes.
Michael looked at him and nodded his head. He knew that was true. "Its alright, I got you guys
now, and max and Zan's mom is driving me crazy about dressing in a way not to get sun burn
oh god", said Michael running his hand in his hair and shaking his head back and forth.
Everyone laughed because they knew how uncomfortable Michael was with the affection that
Diane seem to shower him with.. She even asked for him to move in, but he told her while he
loved that idea he wanted to live with Serena to take care of her. Phillip also welcomed Michael
as part of the family and the guys were going fishing with him in two days. Zan seemed to be the
person who adjusted the most with the Evan's affection. He loved his mom. He sat down late at
night talking to her about everything from politics to love and he helped her around the house
when she needed something and he always told her he loved her. She would smile at him and he
just couldn't stop saying it, he did love her. "You know mom is just looking out for you, she felt
like she abandoned you or something, she still feels guilty that she didn't get you away from
Hank fast enough", said Zan. "I know I told her that she doesn't have to feel guilty, its okay its
my fault that I ran off", said Michael. He loved that she took care of him though. She sent over
those horrible foods she got from the Martha Steward books and always gave him cash when
he needed it and always invited him for dinner. He felt her love that's all he needed really. She
was his mom too, he just couldn't say it yet, but he is getting there. "God Zan you are such a
momma's boy", said Max laughing. Zan glared at him and said, "So are you don't front". Zan
got up and tackled his brother to the ground sitting on his head. "Fight!!!", yelled LAex jumping
on Zan. Kyle and Michael looked at each other and jumped in. The girls walked in to find their
boyfriends wrestling on the ground. "Ummm, what are guys doing?", said Liz lifting up her
eyebrow. Max looked up and walked off to her and lifted her onto his shoulder and through her
into the wrestling pile. "Max you are sooo dead", yelled Liz trying to get Michael's foot out of
her face. All the girls got into the fight too while Serena looked at them shaking her head at their
immaturity. Then she fell into the fighting pile when Zan grabbed her waist pulling her in. "Zan
that's not funny, I swear to God", yelled Serena.
Alex shook his head at the memory when he saw Serena and the rest walking in. It was
apparent that she was crying as well as Zan. "What's up guys?", asked Alex. "Kivars' brother
is here", said Serena crying into Zan's arms. Everyone looked at her in shock.
