Chapter 13 Liz's POV
Serena looked at Ava square in the eye before raising her hand letting out a blast towards Ava, Sammie, and my son.
STOP.
REWIND.
Maybe I should explain what is going on. I, Liz Evans am going to explain to you how betrayal is our saving grace. Now you all might have thought Ava was betraying us, makes no sense right, exactly. It didn't have to make sense it just had to be done. Remember I asked Ava if she would betray us, she was honest, she wouldn't. But remember also what Serena said. Ava would betray her if put in the right situation. Right, you all remember. So do I. That is why right now that is what she is doing. She is going to hand over our children to Kivar to kill, she has too it's the only way. She had to be Judas, but remember what Judas did, he hung himself. This time we are going to change that story. Judas is not going to hang herself no; she is going to make the others that hired her hang themselves. It's a bit confusing I know but hold on and let me explain. Right now Ava is trembling in fear and Serena is letting blast after blast. That's what you see, shit it's what they see also. You are probably wondering who they are, aren't you? Well they are the people that have had our home under constant watch. Yeah you got that right. We are being spied on. Serena and I figured that one out. Serena and I have this connection, beyond anything I could have imagined. I guess it's because both of us have the power to see things, to get visions. This power should not even exist if it was a human thing but this power goes beyond that. Anyway back to where I was. Ava. Sweet Sweet Ava having to carry the burden of betrayal from a past life. Princess Ava handed over the throne as well as Vilondra to Kivar. We all know the story. It's written that way. But it's more complicated than that. I always believed in karma. Things that come back to you. You do good, good comes back to you. You do bad, bad comes back to you also. Isabel had that test and past, remember when Kivar came on earth. She had to make a choice. She did she pushed Kivar back into the wormhole and that was that. At least that is what we thought; no we had to fix one more betrayal, Ava's. You see life as all about balance, good vs. evil, ying yang. It's all about keeping that balance. But there are times we you can tip the scales and these are one of those times.
"Ava, you alright?" asked Serena running towards her.
"Man girl you almost scared me", said Ava.
"What did you find out?" asked Michael.
Sammie was now in her mother's arms.
"Wait are you sure they are still seeing what we want them to see?" asked Max holding Alex.
"Yeah they are seeing me commit my betrayal, they are seeing me take Sammie and Alex to Kivar", answered Ava.
"Good to have you back", said Zan.
Chris was already hugging her.
"Shit girl I missed you so much", said Chris holding onto her shirt.
"I missed you too baby", whispered Ava kissing him.
"This is not going to hold them off forever you know", said Kyle.
"I know, the power of illusion, what is, isn't what is", said Serena.
"The crystal holds that power for 24 hours, eventually they will see past this cloud of smoke", said Serena.
"The balance is still not set until Kivar kills the children", said Liz.
Even though it was all a mask or smoke and mirrors it still hurt to say that out loud.
"Yeah I know, it's the only way to wipe the slate clean for me", said Ava trembling.
"I hate this", said Ava.
"Yeah I know but like I said it's the only way, you have to fix what Tess and Princess Ava broke", said Serena hugging Sammie.
"Did you get in contact with him?" asked Isabel.
"Yeah Kal will be here by night fall also "pledging his allegiance to Kivar", said Ava.
"He also supposed to hand in Zan and Max, you guys have to be ready for that, Kivar is no dummy, if Serena didn't teach me how to hide within myself, he would have found out this was all a set up", said Ava.
"I know I'm still worried though", said Michael.
Maria held his hand.
"The bond", said Serena.
"What are you talking about?" asked Maria.
"Everlasting Bond", said Liz and Serena at the same time.
"It's tricky but it might work", said Serena.
She gathered them around and explained.
"You see all of us have a bond, you all know that. It's not tangible, but ever human experiences a bond in their lifetime whether with a parent, child, or soul mate. It's what keeps us connected in the world. It's what keeps us balance also. But there is a bond that goes beyond that, it's a beyond that we mere humans never even could touch. I guess you could say it's a level that we have not reached yet, I don't think we will ever reach it, that is until now", said Serena.
"Okay so what is it?" asked Michael.
"Death", said Ava.
She knew, she understood.
"What?" asked Chris.
"It's death, it's something that we can't control, we control birth, life, love all of that but Death, that's something that we have no control over", said Zan.
He understood too.
"So what do we have to do?" asked Maria almost afraid to ask.
"We die", said Liz.
I know it sounds crazy right. But that's least of this crazy plan. This plan is going to change the course of our lives. Death here is our savior. Death is the thing that breaths life. It's what tells us that there is life or not. We take lives like Serena did, and then we take our own. Crazy right. But need I remind you that not all is what it seems. Need I also remind you that Serena also said it too, No one reaches everlasting bond. But we have to make them think that we did. We have to give them a symbol of our everlasting bond.
"Do you think this plan is going to work?" asked Maria looking at me.
I know she is scared but it's the only way. We have to do this not only so that Kivar could get off our asses but the FBI as well. Maybe then we could go home. We can be safe from them. We can raise our children and live out our dreams without anyone trying to take it away from us.
"We have 24 hours Liz", said Serena.
I nodded my head. She understood what I closed the door to go to my room to be with my husband.
"Max", I whispered.
He looked at me, like he has always looked at me. He looked at me like I know he will always look at me. He is my soul and even though that Serena thinks that Everlasting Bond doesn't exist I know she is wrong. She is not the only one with visions you know. Me and Max that is everlasting. He doesn't know about me always knowing his soul in every lifetime. He doesn't know that I will continue to be his life mate forever until the true end of time. He doesn't know. He believes that I'm his soul mate on some level. He always knew that. But this goes beyond that simple fact. Max Evans carries a part of me inside of him. He can't get rid of it. The Angel of Destiny knows what he is doing. He makes sure that me and Max are always in the same area. He knows what will happen when we are not. It's not to be cocky or anything but Future Max got only some of it right. The End of the World does depending on us. It just depends if we are together in the right way. Yes I said the right way.
Our love that's pure. WE can try to taint it but it doesn't work. Tess, Sean, Kyle, all those people that tainted couldn't touch it really. Liz Evans and Max Evans are the players in this game. I'm a player. I influence how my love is sent to him. I know this, shit he probably knows it too. I know that Serena believes that Zan is king too. In a way he is. He can claim the throne all of that but Max, my Max, he is the true king. Not the King of Antar, no it goes beyond that. He is king that will liberate Earth. Every generation a liberator is sent. Serena doesn't know this but she is one of the players in this too. She is a solider in the ultimate fight. Michael, Isabel, Kyle, and even my wacky best friend Maria, Ava and Chris all play a role. My son and Serena's daughter, you have no idea what they are capable of doing. Kivar is just one of the many enemies mind you. Kivar is just the extension of the ultimate player, just like the FBI is. We are not going after Kivar, no, baby we are going after the Source. The Source of all damn evil in the world. And right now he is residing in Kivar's body. Kivar doesn't know this, no one does. But I do. You might wonder why I'm important. Well I'm going after someone that I should have killed myself. Someone in every lifetime has taken from me. That's right Tess. She comes in many forms you know. She is always the seductress, the siren if you will. Men throw them selves at her and always die at the end. Her reign also has to come to an end, and I Liz Evans will make sure of that.
"Oh Max", moaned Liz arching her back. Max thrust hard into her body.
He knew that she was his. He could feel it. He licked her nipples.
"My queen", whispered Max harshly as he lifted up her legs going deeper into her whimpering body.
He was connecting with her. He was seeing him as she saw him. This very idea brought tears to his eyes. This woman loved him, more than life itself. He never felt so blessed. Max fell on top of her as he reached his ultimate release. She stroked his hair trying to calm him down.
"I love you Liz", whispered Max letting sleeping take him over.
"Sleep my king, sleep now, a new day is near", whispered Liz with her eyes glowing bright red before returning to normal.
