Chapter 4 A Bad Rescue and A New Talent
" I don't think so!" Michael said as he came out of the forest with a red ball of light in his hands. He through the ball at the man but the man use his own ball to shield himself from the attack. Michael's ball reflected off of the man's and hit Maria. Maria flew over the cliff as her skin lit up. Luckily she landed on the rock platform. But she hit her head and went unconscious. Maria's skin was now lime green.
" Maria!" Michael yelled as he saw Maria fly over the cliff. Tears sprung in his eyes.
"Don't worry, I will save you!" Michael screamed. He doubt that she could her him but it made him feel more at ease.
" No you won't!" The man said as he threw a fire ball at him. The fire ball knocked Michael off his feet as it sent him flying through the air.
The man smiled and walked over the cliff. He bent down and found foot holes. He climbed down the cliff and then he jumped down to the rock platform where Maria laid motionless. He picked her up and placed her over his shoulders as one of Maria's scented oils fell out of her pocket. Not noticing the oil he climbed up the cliff. Once he was safely on solid ground, he put out his hands and made a huge green ball. He threw it up in the air as it exploded. It looked like fireworks in the sky. All of a sudden the two other men appeared. The fireworks display was a sign for the other men to return.
"We have the girl, we have to get out of here!" the man who made the fireworks said.
" Don't we need to kill the others? Isn't that the reason we came here?" one of the men asked.
" No we have what we need." He said as he began to walk into the forest. The other two men followed as they disappeared inside the forest.
When the green ball exploded in the air, Liz, Max, Isabel and Kyle all saw it as they were trying to protect themselves from the two men, who were throwing green balls at them.
" Look!" Liz pointed up at the sky. Then all of the sudden, the men stopped trying to hurt them and they ran into the direction that the huge green blast came from.
"Let's go get them! They might have Michael and Maria!" Max said as they all ran into the forest after them.
They came to a clearing where there was a cliff. There was no sign of the men but Isabel spotted Michael lying on the ground.
" Michael!" Isabel yelled as he ran over to him.
Michael's eyes fluttered open as he groaned and rolled over.
" What happened? Where is Maria?" Michael yelled as he got up and ran over to the cliff. He looked down. There was no Maria!
" No!" Michael yelled as he collapsed to the ground. He had just confessed his love for her, now she was gone. She was Dead!
" Where's Maria?" Liz asked glancing down at Michael.
" She's dead!" Michael screamed.
Everyone was horrified.
" What do you mean Michael?" Liz asked.
" I tried to save her, but one of the men blasted me and it hit Maria. She flew over the cliff. She is gone! Its all my fault!" Michael yelled.
Max looked at Michael then he looked down to the rock platform. He saw something shiny. It looked like one of Maria's oils.
"Liz come here!" He said as Liz ran over beside Max.
" That IS Maria's oil!" Liz said.
" Michael she isn't dead, they took her!" Max said.
Michael was happy that she wasn't dead but he couldn't believe that the men took her.
" We have to go find her!" Michael said anger and frustration filled his voice.
" We will! But Michael you have to calm down. We will get Maria back but you have to promise me that you will calm down." Max said as he put his hand on his broad shoulder.
Michael looked up at Max and nodded.
"Lets all go to the van and then we will decide what to do from there." Max said.
Everyone agree since there wasn't anything better to do.
They all walked back into the forest and soon enough huge trees surrounded them like a blanket. Michael took one last look behind him and hoped Maria was alright.
Maria woke up in the back seat of a car. Her head pounded like a drum and every muscle in her body hurt so bad she thought she had gotten hit by a train. Her wrists and feet were bounded together by a piece of thick rope. Her skin was not green anymore. She tried sitting up which made her body hurt more. She glanced around the car. One man was sitting beside her and the together two were in the front seats. But was alone but where was Michael?
"Where I she? What did you do to him?" Maria asked
The man sitting beside her, turned and smiled.
"We were thinking you would never wake up." his cold voice sent shivers down Maria's back.
" Answer me!" she cried out.
" All we did was stop him from taking you!" the man said. " he was such a weak little alien, one shot and he was down."
Maria clenched her fists.
" I'm Harry, that is Ron and Charlie!" Harry said pointing to the other two men.
" Where are we going?" Maria demanded ignoring Harry.
" Nothing for you to worry about! Now go back to sleep." Harry said.
Maria wasn't tired but as soon as he said those words, her eyes began to flutter and they closed as she drifted into a deep sleep, thinking about Michael. Maria did not know it but she was sending Michael her thoughts. The blast had turned her skin and had given her the fit to seen inside the minds of people and to send images into people's minds.
