Dear Journal it's August 20th 2000, I'm Sam Simmons and today my life has ended and begun,
We were never quite aware of how wonderful life really was. There was always something that banned us together as a Solar system. The Whirlwind Galaxy is what we called home. Our people had looked to the Milky Way as a new beginning and maybe a way out. For hundreds of years we had done research it wasn't until shortly before I was born that a link between our DNA and theirs was found. This is what sparked I guess you would say sightings on Earth and abductions. Although most humans were returned to their planet we did learn more than we needed to know. Without these abductions I wouldn't be here able to tell you exactly what has been going in my life or I guess I should say lives.
My name is Samantha Simons, before they used to call me Macaria. Even thinking of her name brings me back to her life; she was a princess and last-born pure blood daughter of King Marceau of Marcadia. He had eleven children from his wife Lucia, she died giving birth to his daughter Macaria. Ever since then he has sworn she is the toughest and strongest of all his children. Although King Marceau isn't without faults soon after his wife's death, his bed was filled with another, a servant of the house. She was a very beautiful maiden who looked after the children, she would bear a child her name was Anassa.
Anassa would become handmaiden to Marceau's youngest daughter Macaria and also his second favorite daughter. Lucia had given birth to two sons and then nine daughters, it was in Marceau's best of luck that he was able to marry his daughters off with the best of intentions for his planet and people. But Macaria was different than her sisters it was evident the moment she was able to play with others. For every festival and special occasion that arrived the meeting of Kings and royalty would take place. This usually meant a great deal to all the children of the castle because they were very fond of each other. The festivals would take place on alternating planets. There was Zantar who ruled Antar and his son and daughter Vilandra and Zan were his only two children. His wife Altheda was a wise woman but also very stubborn it was said after her son Zan was born that she saw no reason for more children. Zantar being very much in love with her saw no objections to her desire. Although after the last war between Antar and Rathania the bargaining chip happened to be Vilandra she was promised to Rath the second born son of Rasmus King of Rathania.
Yett the bargain didn't end there King Rasmus saw an opportunity to for an engagement, between his only daughter Sophoronia to King Sero of Serion's first born son Symeon. There was Averus King of Acheron, he was known for his wandering eye in his younger years and rumors say that he fathered a son with his brother's wife his son's name was Kivar. Averus had many children his first-born son was Lucian, he was wise and a fair son. His middle daughter was Ava; she was jealous and slinky kind of a girl.
Marceau well I guess you can say he's my first father. I should also bring you back to speed on what's happening now. Well it's the year 2000 August 20th only 5 days after my birthday and well we're moving. I can't tell you how both nervous and excited I am. First off this is my first journal entry, my cousin Liz, who by the way has a pretty big part in why we're moving, gave this journal to me. So let's start with my three best buds and link them to this disaster of a story, well there's John my long time boyfriend and also a hybrid like myself he was known as Symeon of Serion. Then there's my favorite gal pal Sandie who was Sophoronia; ok so I know what you're thinking Mr. Journal dude but there's no feelings between John and Sandie it was ages ago and light years far away. Then there's Lucas my troubled friend who was known as Lucian of Acheron.
So I'm guessing right about now you're wondering about the whole hybrid status right, ok well to put it in laymen terms there was a huge battle we died and got genetically enhanced some DNA was mixed and now we're hybrids. I guess I should explain how Liz comes into play in all this well, she kind of came to Florida this summer not only alone but also single. After many emails of her going on and on about Max things sort of got chilly. The whole thing is, well Max is kind of Zan another hybrid as well as his sister Isabel who's Vilandra, both are of Antar.
Then there's Maria's on again, off again boyfriend Michael who was Rath. Oh and Tess of course our own Ava, Lucas' sister but he'll deny the relation if asked. I guess you can call us back up. On our planet we had the Jesuit elders who took care of this whole destiny thing long before this huge battle waged with Kivar. They agreed with all of our parents that if anything were to happen to us we would be sent to Earth as hybrids. The plan was the royal four Zan, Vilandra, Rath and Ava would be sent with each a decoy pod. One set would be placed in some obscure state where no-one would suspect anything and the decoys would be thrown in downtown Manhattan where they would draw attention to themselves and away from the true set.
In any case the only time we were to be sent to Earth is if there was a glitch. You see like one and 50 million humans have the right chromosomal abnormality that allows our DNA or ET DNA to form and create an embryo like me. So Max, Isabel, Michael and Tess they were the first batch along with their decoys to be sent but they were in incubation pods and sent with protectors. It wasn't until we learned of the crash and that one of the protectors was a Kivarian spy that plan B was hatched. This time it was a bit more sticky, so my father, our protector searched for years to find the right women with the abnormality to bear children. This time their own DNA mixed with our essence and DNA would be used. The only thing was that Dad, or Pete as we called him found only three women who fit the bill. So using his powers he had them all relocate to Port St. Lucie Florida married and bore children.
Firs off there was me born August 15th 1983, then John, and Sandie and Lucas are twins. I know it's pretty funny but technically their half brother and sister and still manage to not get creeped out by the fact that they resemble each other. Well the truth be told, Max fell in love with Liz long ago when they were like elementary students went all gaga when she got shot and died, then he brought her back. Avoided her then wooed her then broke her heart when he started to act all twilight zone with Tess. And thus activating the pulse that we received in May. Now of course everyone else who we don't want to know where the Royal four did also possibly get the pulse hence why we're going to New Mexico. Whew....
So it took all summer for Lucas to slowly mind control our parents' company to give all of our parents a raise and head the buying of this abandoned facility in Roswell New Mexico. Our parents had been talking about the companies plans to buy it for a year now, so with our parents' new raises that meant all of us are moving to Roswell. I guess you can see by now that we all have our little power quirks. Lucas is good with the mind control and altering. He's also taught us some techniques on how to block out other mind controlling powers, we've gotten pretty good he can barely mess with our minds. I kind of have the gift of foresight and also a force field, which works pretty well against pebbles, and rocks John has hurled at me. John can lift just about anything with his powers and more or less apparate where ever he wants not like between walls or anything but more like altering time. Sandie's really good at blowing things up and telekinetics of the sort the real Yoda stuff.
The only challenge I have right now is falling asleep and waking up at 6am for our flight to New Mexico tomorrow and then a one hour drive to Roswell since there's no airport remotely close. But the best part about this whole thing is uncle Jeff, Liz's dad my Mom's brother hasn't told Liz that we're coming so I get to surprise her tomorrow. What's keeping me now from letting this pen drop and turning off the lights? Oh one more thing I have a little half brother Miles, I guess I should start by telling you that my father faked his death and went back when he was summoned by his order. My mother remarried this really cool scientist guy who works for Metachem with her, luckily for all of us Metachem is what keeps us close together. So tomorrow all of us will be arriving in New Mexico to begin a life of protect without being seen and our last high school year as the new kids. I'll write more tomorrow.
Dear Journal It's August 21st I'm Samantha Simmons and writing while riding on a plane is the best thing to pass the time away. So let me tell you about my day so far, we left Port St. Lucie to West Palm Beach Airport, an hour drive with my brother and his game boy and my Mother going through her checklist over and over again. My stepfather Dan began mocking her and reciting her checklist by the time we had arrived at the airport. Well an hour's wait and check in time got us on the plane and in the air on our way to Las Cruces International airport of New Mexico. So I'm excited other than our personal belongings everything about my life is going to be new, a new address, a new school and new digs. The hardest part about this whole thing has been keeping it from Liz, it's supposed to be a huge surprise Alex and Maria are in on it too.
I'm also really reluctant to tell Liz the truth about us I mean we're part of the reason her heart was broken this summer. I guess I'm going to try to be the most normal and un alien thing in her life as long as I can be, it was hard enough watching her sulk on the beach reading her journal over and over again. It only took us a week of childish antics to get her to join us and she didn't pick up her journal the rest of the summer. The summer went by fast and it was soon my 17th birthday, which also happened to be the day Liz left so she gave me this journal to keep my thoughts in it so here I am. The last time I was in Roswell I had actually met Max, well I saw him. It was a really traumatic situation, my Grams had died and Liz and I were just mainly focused on her and other than her pointing him out that was all I really saw of him.
What else, well Liz and I have this whole twin cousin thing other than me being about a foot taller we basically look exactly alike. So for people who hadn't seen us in a while they were pretty confused as to how Uncle Jeff had twins when they thought we were cousins. The only thing that bummed me out was this was the first time in years that Liz didn't bring Alex and Maria. It had become tradition but she left so quickly that I guess they didn't have time to react. I mean Alex and Maria are two of my dearest friends I keep email convos up and aim with Alex, while Maria and I devote 40 of our weekend cell minutes to every non alien detail of our life. While Liz and I are a bit of both really.
Up to about two days after the pulse was sent out we were in total agreement Sandie, Lucas, John and I not to go to Roswell. We were going to follow the original instructions to protect from afar. But it was one of my dreams/visions that made me change our course. I saw something awful the end of the world and the scariest part was that we weren't there, this made me realize that we had to go and we had to do it soon. I was entrusted by the Jesuits to lead our group; you can say it was the leader in me that got me the part. I had been the second in command under Prince Rath of the allied army, trainer of the defense. I've decided to make a chart to explain the whole past lives/planet alignment thing. So here's my diagram….

After making her chart for her journal Sam puts it down looks to her sleeping brother and decided to take a nap herself. As she closes her eyes we see flashes like an old movie projector being brought back to life we are immersed in Sam's dream, which is really a memory from her past. A young girl who looks at the most 9years old is fighting with a huge sword against a bulky boy who is a great match for her. We recognize the young girl as Sam but it's not her as she is now. As she knocks the little boys' sword to the ground and kicks his foot from under him he falls flat on his back and looks on she holds the sword to the boys' chest. You can see the blade bend the light and we get another look at the boy he's now a teen about 17 years old and he's very handsome, we can also see Sam grown up and in her late teens as well. She's dressed in heavy pants adorned as a princess but obviously a tomboy. She smiles evilly at the boy.
"So do you give up Rath?"
He looks at her and returns her smile, he quickly sweeps the sword away from her and she falls to the floor on top of him. They're laughing but the awkwardness of their current position turns their laughter into silence as they're lips graze each other into a kiss. Just as things are getting intense a door from the right opens and Anassa, Macaria's younger sister quickly comes in the room.
"You guys they are coming!"
The two roll in opposite directions and each grab their sword, to return it to it's hilt. They get up like nothing is happening as the two men King Rasmus and King Marceau deep in discussion enter the room. The children bow to their fathers and are acknowledged without a word. Anassa walks over to Macaria and takes off her belt and removing her sword. The two nod at each other and walk over to a covered area only by a thin white sheet as Anassa helps Macaria out of her clothes and into her dress. Rath looks on to see the outline of her body as she changes clothes. He otherwise keeps a stoic look out the large window, which depicts the ship carrying them to a huge palace. The two girls come out of the changing area both dressed for the occasion Rath's eyes light up. Macaria gives him a dirty look as the two sisters join him looking out the window.
"I love these parties." Anassa sighs deeply.
Both Marcaria and Rath look at each other in agreement but also amusement. It's a lot better knowing that they can see each other without having to sneak out.
"You just want to see Zan." Anassa blushes at her sisters words.
"What do you two talk about anyway?" Rath gave Macaria a wink as Anassa turned a bit redder.
"Nothing you two don't talk about when you sneak out every new moon."
Both Macaria and Rath turned away from each other as Anassa stifled a giggle.
Rath looks out at the servants now approaching their ship you can see his brother and sister waiting for the rest of them to exit the ship, meanwhile Macaria's brothers exit as well as her sisters. The group of them is bustling with anticipation of the ballroom.
A servant approaches the door and speaks to the room.
"You majesties we have arrived to the Palace of Zantar of Antar do you wish to proceed?"
The Kings wave their hands to their children and begin to get up themselves; the three teens lead the way out of the ship.
"What a great party, all the heads of the families speaking in private while poking and prodding us taking samples." Anassa rolled her eyes to Rath Macaria chuckled a reply.
"It's a top secret mission you know the Jesuits always filling the Kings' heads with some plan and Oracle business. It probably has something to do with the High Priestess arriving at the New Cycle ball you know what they think of her predictions."
Rath just nodded. Anassa looked to her sister in her beautiful dress it was the first time she had to wear one to a ball her father was trying to tell her something, he had been for years.
"At least you can marry." Anassa whispered to Macaria but Rath caught it as well and cocked his head back to hear Macaria's reply.
"Father knows that I'm not going to be married I've refused all offers and will continue to do so." Rath stifled a laugh into a cough. The girls looked to him.
"Well at least you wont have to parade around like some token of a friendship formed by your engagement to the last person you would want to marry."
Anassa looked up at Rath with shock.
"There's nothing wrong with Vilandra she's beautiful, and witty and."
"And Zan's sister." Macaria stopped Anassa dead in her tracks.
"I guess what I mean is, I wish we were given a choice in the matter. It's not like she wants to marry me either."
Both girls smiled as they stepped off the ship onto the pad of the palace.
"Besides I'm joining the Allied army this new cycle, so a marriage is really an inconvenience."
The girls nodded in a mocking manner, as the entire group was lead through the halls to the large banquet hall. As they entered the hall everyone stood and they were formally announced, the three families could be seen at the top balcony overlooking their guests. Zan stood by his father with Vilandra next to her Mother, Zantar was sitting, he had become paralyzed with an illness in which no-one could spare him from impending death. Zan's face became elated as he saw Anassa the two locked eyes and never took them away from one anther. Rath briefly caught sight of Vilandra and as she nodded and then looked over across the balcony. As Rath followed her gaze so did Macaria, it seems Vilandra had still not gotten over her lust for Kivar and Rath shuddered as he saw Kivar looking right past him at Macaria he turned to her with sad eyes. Kivar was standing to the off right of his father King Averus of Acheron while right next to him was Ava and Lucian along with their brothers and sisters peering over looking at everyone. To their left was King Sero with his son Symeon and court by his side. As the group proceeded to the center court King Rasmus and Rath stopped by to speak to Zantar while the rest of the party took their seats.
A page was called to the booth of Zantar and then an announcement was made that Vilandra and Rath were to open the ball with a dance another reminder of their coming marriage was also made. Rath took Vilandra's hand as she gave a glance toward Kivar who was still staring at Macaria. They began to dance as the players piped their tune. There was applause as the first cadence sounded and then more couples began to file to the dance floor. Anassa caught Zan's eye and they both scurried off to the balcony for some more bruiting and talking. Macaria made her way down the stairs to the floor alone. She stopped at the very bottom and floated along the sides. Only to be stopped by a gentle hand upon her shoulder. As she turned a very handsome Prince Symeon was looking back at her. He smiled at her shock and held out his hand. She took it and he began to lead her to the floor. As the two began to dance Symeon always the charmer spoke smoothly.
"Have I told you how beautiful you are tonight?"
Macaria smiled Symeon was always flirting with her and telling how beautiful she was she never took him seriously. It didn't help that he was betroved to Rath's sister Sophoronia.
"Aren't you getting married soon?" Symeon nodded and looked to his future bride who was surrounded by Macaria's sisters.
"She knows my heart belongs to another."
Macaria laughed as Symeon spun her around gracefully she was used to the boys she once teased and played with to act this way around her. It had been more appealing to them to be so close to a natural and wild beauty than her tame counterparts.
"Are you joining the Allied Army this Cycle?" Macaria had to change the subject.
Symeon nodded and Macaria sighed "I wish I could join" Symeon looked at her in disbelief.
"You can't join, you're gonna be married to some lucky fool and be what we fight for!"
She leaned onto his shoulder and in clenched teeth replied,
"You know I'm as good of a fighter as any of you."
Symeon nodded and she met his eyes. "Yes but how are you.."
A shadow gloomed behind Symeon and in the light stood Kivar.
"May I cut in?"
Symeon obliged and winked with a shrug as Kivar took Macaria in his arms to continue the dance. Macaria was used to Kivar's advances but never returned them. Yes he was handsome but it was something about his ways around her that turned him into a creature. Ever since they were little he'd follow her around while Vilandra chased him then Rath along with Zan and the other boys would chase Kivar away.
"I think tonight's the night"
Pulling back from Kivar Macaria looked at him questionably "the night for what?"
"The night for our engagement." Kivar lowered his hands more and Macaria broke free of him as the song ended.
"You're delusional!"
Kivar shook his head to Rath and Vilandra; Rath was kissing her hand goodbye.
"Are you going to wait in your chambers chaise for a married man? When will it finally hit you that they are destined to be with each other as you and I are."
Macaria began to back away more.
"There is no you and I."
Kivar bowed and smoothly walked away as Macaria found herself at the balconies' entrance. She could hear Anassa and Zan talking quiet and intensely.
"I love you, let's just run away, you know as long as we're together none of this matters."
Anassa grabbed Zan's hand and held it up to her heart.
"We can't do that, I can't let you leave your people, your race for me you have to lead it's their only hope. I can't stand in the way of your destiny Zan."
Zan grazed his hand gently across Anassa's cheek.
"My destiny is what I want it to be I'm fated to be with you always and forever."
The two embraced, Macaria began to develop an idea one that can help her and Anassa. She was startled as a hand grasped her shoulder.
"Hey!"
Sam's little brother was shaking her "Hey, come on wake up!"
Sam opened her eyes "What?!"
"Mom said to wake you up, that we're about to land so get ready." Sam stretched
"We're going straight to Uncle Jeff's place to surprise Liz."
Sam nodded and looked over at her brother she could see him blowing up ships on his game boy.
"Is that a new game?"
Her brother nodded and put the game on pause, he looked to Sam.
"Do you believe in Aliens Sam?"
She smiled and nodded. Mile's eyes widened.
"I mean you've been to Roswell before, and, well you're okay right?
Sam shook her head and began speaking in monotone.
"I'm from Antar, my name is Vilandra I have orders from my planet to take over Earth quick human take me to your leader!"
Sam reached over and began tickling her little brother until he cried from
laughing so hard. She let him off easy
and grabbed her journal held it away from view and laid her hand across it's
binding it gave off a glow and she opened it to see scribbles and drawings
where there once was her whole life.
Just then the plane touched ground.
