Serena walked out into a world she knew was Antar.
"Wow", whispered Serena.
"Yeah its pretty freaky", said Kyle holding on to Ava's hands.
"We need to talk to both of you", said Liz still holding baby Xander. Zan lifted up his head and so did Serena nodding.
They knew that they were in for some type of lecture.
"My baby", whispered a voice behind them.
In a small slow turn Serena looked in the direction that the voice was coming from.
"Mom", said Serena with tears in her eyes.
Calliava ran up to her and engulfed her into the tightest hug imaginable. Tears spilled from both their eyes.
"I'm so happy you alright little one", said Calliava holding Serena's face in the palms of her hands.
"Me too", whispered Serena looking at Zan.
What she saw there made her gasp. He looked lost and in pain. Serena moved from her mother's arms and held Zan. Zan broke down then falling to the floor with Serena.
"GOd I thought, I lost you", whispered Zan.
He held her tightly.
"I knew you would come for me, you promised remember", said Serena wiping the tears from his eyes.
He was trembling.
"You guys we have to get home I dont know how this planet travel stuff works", said Max.
Vienna and Calliava knew they had to go but didn't want them too. Liz gave them both sympathtic looks.
"We will visit and you will visit us on Earth, but Earth is our home now, and you Queen Vienna need to lead the people, like you should have been doing long time ago", said Liz.
"Me?", asked Vienna as if the idea was crazy.
"Yeah, I think you will be a great queen mom and one that will rule with Antar the best she knows how, I pass then rights over to you", said Max hugging his wife and son.
"But the people will not agree to that, it's tradition", said Vienna.
"Traditon is what got us killed in the first place, no one wanted Serena to have power over the council or have Maria's pass self have control of the secutiry in the palace, times have changed and so should we, Antar doesn't need me, they need you mom", said Max.
Vienna nodded her head. SHe was scared though.
"You have all the training and al the know how, mom you should be fine", said Isabel.
"There has to be an annoucment though, from you King Zan", said Calliava.
Max nodded his head.
"When it has to be soon we don't want this to affect our lives on Earth, our Earth parents must be worried, we usually call them everyday", said Maria cooing Michaela.
Michael looked at everbody and sighed. He had been quiet this whole trip here and the stress was beginning to take a toll. He knew that he needed to rst a bit.
"Can we get a place to sleep and rest?", asked Michael.
Max looked at him strangely but didn't question him. Michael looked worn out. Max looked at him concerned. Michael was swaying on his feet looking like he was ready to drop.
"Michael are you alright?", asked Serena.
"Yeah just tired, I need some sleep that's all", said Michael brushing off her hands.
Calliava looked at her son and knew something was up.
"Follow me", said Calliava.
She knew what was wrong and she knew it was going to come to a head. Michael took Maria's hands and walked towards this castle looking area. THe servants were running all over the place while Vienna gave out orders. They even bowed to the ten of them. Michael paid no attention just sort out a bedroom and went to sleep.
"What is wrong with Michael?", asked Ava looking at him concerned.
Her big brother she knew was quiet and withdrawn when they got here but now she didn't know what to say. Calliava looked at her son and sighed.
"He needs to work it out", whispered Calliava but Zan heard her.
"Work what out, what is going on?", asked Zan when they were walking down the hall away from Maria, Michael, and Michaela.
"Guys Michael's sick", yelled Maria in a frantic tone.
Everyone ran and saw Michael tossing and turning on the bed. Michaela was crying and Maria was trying to soothe Michael.
"Alright what is going on?", asked Liz holding Xander in her arms.
Calliava looked at Vienna and they both nodded their heads in understanding.
"Michael didn't want to come here, he hated the idea but he knw he had to, but that's not all", said Calliava.
"What is it?", asked Serena looking concerning.
"I'm angry with you", said Michael looking into her eyes.
"Angry with me for what?", asked Serena.
"You left, you knew you was going to go", said Micheal.
Serena looked confused. Zan nodded his head though.
" To come here", replied Zan.
"What i had to I had to reset the balance", said Serena trying to understand Micheal and Zan.
"Fuck the balance Serena you got yourself killed, do you know what that did to me, my sister hopping fucking planets and getting herself killed for the greater good", yelled MIchael.
HIs hands were trembling and tears were forming in his eyes. No one has ever seen Michael so angry before. Serena took a step back.
"I had to mIchael", said Serena.
"Fuck that you didn't have to, you know what you did, Zan was going to kill himself, you didn't warn us, you just went, you always talking about the greater good but you always give evil a chance to screw us, so what if good had the fucking up hand, so what is wrong with that, no you had to be the martyer and fucking get yourself killed", yelled Michael getting up from the bed.
He was so angry. Serena looked at him and tried to explain.
"God Michael I'm sorry it I don't know what you want me to say Michael I'm sorry, I had to", said Serena crying.
Zan sat down on the bed and rubbed his face. He looked around the room and saw the rest of his family trying to understand what was going on. He knew though because she left him too. He was angry with her too but he understood her reasons Michael didn't.
"Serena i dont want to hear it you are always sacrificing yourself all the fucking time, you get nothing in return that fucking owe us, all the fucking problems they gave us, but no they have to send you here to get not only yourself killed but your children did you even care about them?", asked Michael looking into her tear filled violet eyes.
"God how could you think that I don't Michael I ad to do this, I'm sorry I hurt you but i had to if I didn't I saw what would happen in the future, you woud pray for death", yelled Serena.
She hit him hard against the chest and yelled, "I'm sorry Michael god what right do you have to tell what is right and wrong I did this for us, for you so that mIchaela could be born in a world that is safe, you dare tell that I'm wrong".
Tears poured from her eyes and she fell to the ground.
"NO I'm not saying you are wrong but you didnt give us a chance you just left, you know how I feel about that, don't you know by now that this is a group this a family you do things together, forever don't you understand that", said Michael grabbing her arms and looking into her eyes.
Serena let out a sob and shook.
"I couldn't let you die, I had to, I'm sorry so sorry", said Serena crying.
Michael pulled her closer to his body and held her trembling form.
"I'm so sorry michael I'm so sorry", repeated Serena over and over again.
The rest of them sat down and watched brother and sister cry in each other's arms.
"We need to talk to you also Zan", said Liz looking at her brother-in-law.
"You were going to leave us, kill your fucking self, are you crazy", yelled Ava.
Kyle tried calming her down but it wasn't working.
" I undersand about feeling pain we all felt it Zan but to go and get yourself killed, that shit is not fucking right", siad Ava.
Alex looked at Zan and nodded his head.
"It's true you didn't wait for us, you left, and when we find you you have a knife out", said Alex gulping down the lump in his throat.
They were almost in shock at the scene that they came upon at the other building. Serena looked up from Michael's arms. SHe finally registered what everyone was saying. Zan was going to kill himself.
"You were going to kill yourself?", asked Serena crawling to the front of him looking into his amber eyes.
She rembered waking up and seeing a knife in his hands but never understood why he had it. Zan nodded his head and looked down.
"I lost everything my wife and my babies, I had nothing to live for", said Zan with tears spilling from his eyes.
"What about us?", asked ISabel.
"Do you think we would have been happy that you were dead, what about mom and dad and everyone else that cared about you, what about them?", asked ISabel screaming.
"I wasn't thinking about them because the pain was too much", said Zan.
"I don't understand both of you all the time its the same thing", said Alex.
Before Max could speak Serena looked at him.
"Don't tell me anything becasue I know you, you would have done the same thing", said Serena glaring at him.
"I know", whispered Max lowering his head.
Liz looked at him and kissed his temple. She shook. SHe looked down at her son and sighed.
"God why is our life so hard?", asked Liz.
"I don't know", replied Kyle basically summing up what everyone was thinking.
"I think we need to stop thinking that we owe the powrs that be or whatever, and start living our lives, shit we earned it twenty times over", said MAria.
"Yeah I know no normal person should be going through what we went though, it isn't fair, screw the balance like MIchael said, just live our lifes, I think that's the best thing", said Isabel.
Everyone nodded their heads. NO one noticed that they were left alone in that room. The mothers thought it was best that they had time to connect together as a group.
"Do you think they will be okay?", asked Calliava.
"Yeah I think they are stronger then you think?", said Vienna.
