Chapter 9
It was almost eight o'clock and everyone was in Max & Liz's Living room waiting for Langley to show up. Michael was getting impatient. "Max, if he isn't here in ten minutes, I'm leaving." Maria hit him.
(Smile) "He'll be here." – Max
All of them where wondering what was so important that Langley had asked to meet with them. Ten minutes later, there was a knock at the door. Everyone looked at it and Max got up to answer it.
"Hello, Max." – Langley
"Hi, come in."
He sat down where he was able to face everyone and started to explain. "This morning before I left for work I got a message from Antar. (He paused he wanted to see their reaction and from what he could see everyone was very interested in what he had to say.) The message said that Khivar is died and that they are sending two ships in a month for all of you to go back to Antar."
Everyone was very surprised by this news. And that they were all so shocked that they didn't know what to say, except Max. "Who sent the message?" Everyone then looked at Langley, wanted to know and make sure that this wasn't a trick.
"One of the servants of the now retired Queen."
"Retired Queen?" – Max (Confused)
"Your mother."
"My mother." – Max & Isabel (They looked at each other.)
"Your mother is now running the planet upon your return. Now that Khivar is died."
"Why would she send us this message now and not earlier?" – Isabel
"It has to do with Max & Liz's unborn child. It took awhile for them to feel that there was another energy here on earth with us. Your mother could feel it and so could Khivar. Your mother knew that only way she could ever see you two again, is if Khivar was out of the picture. And once he was, she sent the message to me."
"Are you saying that Max & Isabel's mother had Khivar killed?" – Michael
"No, I'm sorry if it sounded like I said that. I don't know how he died, but I do know your mother and she wouldn't have sent two ships for all of you if Khivar weren't gone."
"Why two ships?" – Liz. Everyone else was wondering the same thing.
"Because the plan was that if it was time to go back that they would be sending two ships, one for the King and Queen and another for the rest of the Royal Family, It just for safety reasons."
"Oh." – Everyone
"So, when exactly are they coming for us?" – Max
"They haven't giving me the exact day, yet. They won't until about a week before. All they told me is that they are coming in about a month."
"Wow, not much time to plan." – Maria
"I'm sorry but I have to get back to Los Angeles. I'll call you (Looking at Max) when they contact me again. But plan on leaving in a month from now. Bye everyone.
After Langley left everyone was quiet until Max spoke. "So, what does everyone think, Michael?"
"Max, I have been waiting for this my whole life, I'm going to go."
Max nodded. He knew that this is what Michael has been waiting for. "Maria?"
She wasa little shocked that Max would beasking her. "I never thought that this would be my life when I was younger and now I wouldn't want any other life, I'm going, too." Snuggling closer to Michael.
"Isabel."
"Max, this a chance to meet our real mother and to see were we come from. I can't pass it up."
"I know, I feel the same way." He then looked at Liz, who was sitting right next to him. "Sweetheart, how do you feel about this?"
"Max, I'll follow you were ever you go and if that means going to Antar, then I'll go. I don't care as long as we're together."
"We will, always. (Taking her hand.) I think that we should all go home and get some sleep. Besides tomorrow is a big day for most of us. We should all act as normal as possible until we find out when know exactly when we are leaving." Everyone agreed.
"Max, when do you want to tell Mom and Dad?"
"Let's tell them after graduation."
"Ok, bye."
After everyone had left Max went back and sent down next to Liz. Liz laid her head on his shoulder. "Sweetheart, are you sure that you are ok about going to Antar?"
"Max, how many times do I have to tell you that I don't care, as long as we're together. And there is also one good thing that I can't wait to do."
"What's that?" He kisses the top of her head.
"Meet and thank the person that brought you to me."
Liz looked up at him and smiled. Liz then started kissing his jaw and his neck. Max lifted her chain up and passionately kissed her. Max than pulled away and stood up. Looking down at Liz, he smiled at Liz and said, "Come on Mrs. Evans lets go to bed." (Helping her stand up). Liz smiled and they walked into their bedroom.
