Symbol of Everlasting Bond
Chapter 1:
We have been traveling for almost a year now. We left at graduation fleeing from the FBI. I wish I could tell you it has been fun and games like an adventure but it hasn't. Don't get me wrong it has had it's good moments namely me getting married to the man that I love. It's one the best days of my life. It's funny though how when Future Max came he was hell bent against me and Max being together. He told me that we got married at 19. I guess you can change destiny at least a little I got married at 18 years instead. I loved every moment of it. It's amazing that one day can change your life. First it was the shooting at the Crash Down then it was me and Max's first kiss, then Tess coming into town. That name still makes my fists clench in anger. She could be physically gone but her damage on Earth will forever be imprinted in my mind as well as my friends. I'm looking around now sitting in that VW van that Jesse brought us. Michael is driving while Maria keeps him company in the front. They are bickering again about which station to listen to. I shift my attention to the back where Isabel ad Kyle are hugging and talking privately. They are together now. It came as a shock to everyone but not me I always knew that Kyle had a thing for Isabel. She misses her husband and it was difficult the first few months without him but Isabel realized that she wasn't in love with him. He was just a replacement for the right thing, Alex. Alex my fallen friend god, it still makes me what to throw things and makes me want to cry at the same time. I miss my friend I really do. Next I move my head and sigh. Max, my husband is stroking my hair. He knows it calms me down. Me and Max had the hardest time. With Tess, future Max, stepping back and normal teen angst, I think God or who ever owes us big seriously.
"Hey you okay?", asked Max looking down at Liz that was now writing in the journal that he brought for her.
He couldn't help feeling guilty all the time. He didn't want this life for Liz. She should have been in college now studying for finals not running for her life. But she never once complained. Not one time.
"Yes", whispered Liz smiling up at him and kissing him softly.
I close my new journal and sigh. I lean my head against Max and close my eyes falling asleep. If I knew what would happen next I would never have closed my eyes.
Dream Plane……………………..
Fire, burn. Toddler scream in the background. Liz reaching for the toddler.
"Mommy", yelled the toddler.
Liz gasping for get air in her lungs. A young woman running in and grabbing the toddler. Her fearful eyes looking straight through Liz.
"It's alright, It's alright Zan, I'm going to get us out of here", said the girl.
The roof falling. Bodies burned to a crisp there is no saving them. The young woman knew this.
"Shit", yelled the woman running towards the exit.
A piece of wood hit her back burning her. She yelled out her pain. Liz gasped again another woman. Tess running in.
"Ava get out of here", yelled the young woman.
"Take him", yelled the woman again at Ava that looked fearful.
That was a look that Liz had never seen on Tess's face, that's how she knew that this was the missing Ava. Fire erupted swallowing them but the young woman was determined to get the baby out.
"Chris", yelled the young woman when she hit the ground.
This Chris person ran in grabbing the young woman before the whole place went up. Toddler still crying loudly. The young woman came out coughing. She walked over to their jeep trying to catch her breath.
"We have to find his parents", said the young woman.
"But Max and Liz fled Roswell like a year ago", answered the Chris person.
Liz gasped. She knew who the little boy was. This was baby Zan, Max's son.
"Kivar is after Zan he needs to be with his parents", said the young woman.
"Then let's find them", answered Ava holding the child.
The young woman nodded her head looking directly at Liz. She looked like she was going to say something when the focus shifted and Liz was in a room strapped to a table.
"Welcome Liz Parker, no Liz Evans now isn't it? I hope you enjoy your stay here. You will be here for long time", said the agent.
She could hear Max, Isabel, Kyle, Michael and Maria screaming in the glass mirrors that separated their rooms. The agent looked down at Liz and smirking. Her gown was open and she felt the knife pierce her skin. He dragged it fast. She heard screaming but she didn't realize that it was her.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh", yelled Liz getting up.
Michael swerved the car hard to the left stopping it to look back to see what was happening.
"They are coming, they are coming", said Liz crying.
Max was trying to calm her down.
"Liz, who, Liz who?"", asked Max.
"FBI, they are coming we get caught", said Liz trembling hard.
Isabel looked at Liz and knew she spoke the truth. They weren't safe. They were so concentrated on Liz that they didn't even hear the car come up. The next thing they knew they were surrounded.
"Get out of the car with your hands up", said the Agent.
They knew this was the end. They had one year of peace now it was over. They had been caught. Michael looked at Maria that was trembling in fear. She knew as well as the rest of the people in the car, that they were going to the place that Max had been in almost 3 years ago.
"Ahh the young teens that thought they could run from the law. It's pretty amusing really", said the agent.
Max looked across from him seeing Liz strapped to a table. His heart was pounding a mile a minute. He never wanted his wife or his family her. He knew what they did to people in here. His wife, his beautiful wife, was in a place he promised that he would never let her see.
"Let's begin shall we", said the agent smirking.
He walked next to Liz. She looked at him head on. She saw his smirking face and she knew what he would say next.
"Welcome Liz Parker, no Liz Evans now isn't it? I hope you enjoy your stay here. You will be here for long time", said the agent.
Hold your breath. I know the pain is coming. He looks like he is enjoying it. Max, my sweet Max, I hear him crying yelling. My best friend Maria cursing up a storm. This is the end isn't it? I feel the blood rush to my mouth. I look at him, he look surprised. Blood to the mouth was a clear indication that death was going to come quick. I never thought I would die like this.
"What is going on", asked the agent looking down at the young woman that had a blank stare on her face.
"Lizzzzzzzz", yelled Max hitting the glass.
Tears fell down his face. The agent reached over checking for a pulse when mayhem ensued. He looked up gasping at the person standing in front of him.
"Nice to see you again", said the woman before reaching over grabbing his throat and snapping it.
The agent gave her a look of shock before hitting the ground. He was dead she knew. She looked at the young woman on the table and the five other people screaming. She reached over checking for a pulse and sighed in relief when she found on.
"Well Liz Evans, it's time to meet your son", said the young woman.
She walked over hitting the release button opening the other cells. The one they called Max, ran towards his wife.
"We have to leave now", said the young woman when she saw him trying to heal his wife.
He looked conflicted.
"She will make it, but we have to leave now if we want to make it", said the young woman.
"Who are you", asked the girl named Maria.
The young woman didn't answer only pulled out her gun making the group step back.
"Let's go", said the young woman.
They followed her out. Agents came at them but Michael held them off. There was one agent that tried t get fresh in the young woman's opinion, she shot him point blank between the eyes. He didn't even have the time to blink. Everyone stared at her but she said nothing. She ran ahead, another agent came running towards them, she shot him too but she didn't kill him she looked at him dying but said nothing. Max looked at his wife in his arms. She looked so pale, so dead. It took everything in him not to choke on his sob. His wife was dying in his arms. He knew that he had to get out of here quickly. The woman they were following killed three people already. It was like she didn't even care. He didn't know whether or not to trust her but he had no choice. He came this far.
"Chris I'm almost out", said the girl pulling out her cell phone.
Kyle looked at the girl. Isabel clutched his hands trying not to panic. She was beyond scared now. Liz looked almost like the dead. She felt the bile rising to her throat. They followed the woman out. They saw a jeep at the entrance.
"Ava", yelled the woman.
Isabel actually stopped at that name. She almost cringed when she saw the young woman in front of them.
"Let's go", said the young woman again.
Michael looked at Max asking him if they should trust this group. Max nodded his head in agreement. They followed the group. Michael pulled Maria onto his lap holding her tightly. He breathed in slowing trying to stop his racing heart. He could see Kyle doing the same thing with Isabel. Max looked at his wife trying not to cry. He looked ahead at the people. He saw two young children in the front. A little girl and from where he was sitting a little boy. The little boy was whimpering even though Ava was trying to calm him down. Chris, he supposed that was Chris was driving while the woman that pulled them off the base, he still didn't know how she managed to do that. They were only there for maybe three hours. It was like she knew or something. But that was impossible right? The little boy started whimpering louder. Ava tried to calm him down.
"Chris pull over there", said the young woman.
He nodded his head. The young woman got out of the car. Making the rest of them do the same with a nod of her head.
"You probably have a lot of questions but we have to heal Liz first, or least he does", said the young woman pointing to the young boy in Ava's hands.
Max whipped his head up.
"What?", asked Max looking confused.
"Trust me", said the young woman taking the young boy from Ava's hands.
It was then they got a clear look at the boy.
"Max", whispered Maria.
Max stared trying to breath.
"Come on Zan, have to heal mommy, okay", whispered the young woman.
Everyone heard though. The little boy looked at her with tears in his eyes before nodding his head. The young woman placed him next to Liz was still in Max's arms. She held his hand and nodded her head. He rubbed his little fist across his eyes and reached out and touched her hair. He smiled at Max.
"Purty", said Zan smiling.
He had all his baby teeth in. Max couldn't help it but he smiled at the young boy. His son. He knew. He looked so much like him. Zan reached over.
"Mommy", said Zan kissing her forehead.
Max gasped at that. He looked at the young woman.
"I'll explain later, let him do this, he has to", said the young woman.
Max nodded his head trying not to let his frustration come through. Zan reached again placing his hands against her chest. He closed his eyes and concentrated. Max gasped at the small green glow that seemed to be glowing around his son and wife. He couldn't understand it. He was in shock. Tess had told them that he was human. Another lie. What happen next made everyone gasp in shock. There shooting through the air was the V symbol. The symbol was glowing on Zan's hand and Liz's chest.
"Mommy", whispered Zan again.
He smiled and gave small giggle when Liz eye's opened.
"Mommy", said Zan again.
Liz looked at the boy in front of her and smiled hugging him to her chest.
"Yes baby I'm your mommy", said Liz.
Everyone looked at Liz in shock.
"Would someone mind telling me what the hell is going on?", shouted Michael.
"And who are you?", asked Maria.
"My name is Serena, I'm a friend", said Serena.
Liz's head whipped up at that. But she was distracted when another little voice shouted,
"Mommy", yelled the little girl rushing into her mother's arms.
Liz gasped when she saw the little girl's eyes. Light brown just like Zan her husband. She would know she looked into those eyes for as long as she could remeber. The little girl was hugging Serena.
