Chapter 4 - Wake Up Call

Zan was to preoccupied worrying about Beth to realize what had happened when he came out of the chamber. He didn't even notice that the car was not Beth's. All he was thinking about was getting her to their friends.

By the time Zan got to the Evans' house the sun was starting to come up. He quickly got out of the car and went to the passengers side to get Beth. He then carried her up to the door and rung the bell. Even though he was in shock because of Beth's state, he was still with it enough to remember that just barging in would not be a good idea. That would just scare everyone and make them think a burglar or something had broke in and then who knows what they would do to him and Beth.

Max woke up startled and didn't know why, until he realized someone was ringing the door bell. All the way to the front door he was racking his brain trying to figure out who could be here this early in the morning and on a weekend when his parents were gone. He also hoped that the noise didn't wake his sister up; because dealing with Isabel in the morning was bad enough, but wake her up and you'd better watch out.

Needless to say, Max was more than shocked to see Michael at his front door so early in the morning and carrying a hurt Maria. "What happened? Was it a skin? The FBI? Was it a shape shifter?" asked a worried Max.

Zan didn't have time for twenty questions, he pushed passed Max and laid her down on the couch. "STOP TALKING AND HEAL HER EVANS!" shouted a very irritated Zan.

"Oh, right, sorry." said Max, who immediately started to heal her. When he was done and had made sure she was okay; he went to speak to his best friend in the other room and again asked, "What happened?"

"I don't know. We were in the granolith chamber and....." but he couldn't finish because he was cut of by Max.

"What were you two doing in there?"

"I was there and she came looking for me."

"Again I'm going to say, why were you there?"

"I went there to clear my head because......" again Zan couldn't finish his sentence because in walked Isabel, who was more than thrilled to be woken up.

"I don't know about you two, but some people like to do this thing called sleep!" said a very angry Isabel.

"What are you doing here?" Zan asked shocked to see her, and with blond hair no less!

"What am I doing here? I live here and unless something has changed in the last couple of hours, you don't! So why don't you just go home."

"That's real nice, Marie. You know what I don't even know why I was upset because we broke up." said Zan.

"Michael, are you feeling okay? You just called Is, Marie, and said you two broke up! What happened to you and Maria?" asked a worried Max.

"Michael? Is? Maria? What are you talking about Mi.....Oh no!" said Zan, as he realized what had happened to him and Beth, "But how? I didn't do it. And I know Beth didn't, she doesn't even know where the crystal is. So if we didn't do it, who did?" Max and Isabel just stared at him wondering what he was talking about.
