"Liz," Max said with one word and then room was silent.

Liz had run straight to the Café. She had walked to Michael's apartment.

"Mom can I have the keys to the car," Liz called as soon as she entered the backroom of the café.

Nancy heard the despair in her daughter's voice and knew exactly where she wanted to go. Liz was clearly upset. "Of course Sweetheart just be careful." She warned as she handed Liz the keys to her open air jeep.

"I'm always careful Mom. They had no idea I already knew about the Granolith before Max showed me. I'll be fine."

Nancy smiled and nodded her head. "Don't stay out too late."

Liz smiled and nodded, then ran out the back door and jumped into the jeep. Starting the ignition immediately and speeding out of the parking lot.

Nancy watched her daughter speed down the road to the city limits sign. Her features saddened as she thought about the despair she saw her daughter in.

"Things didn't go well. I take it," Jeff Parker asked his wife.

Nancy shook her head. "I think she made things worse. She headed to the Granolith."

"The Granolith? Oh my...you don't think they ostracized her do you?"

"No, I highly doubt that Za...I mean Max would do that to her Jeff. I think that now we have to be extra aware and keep all seven of them safe not just our four real charges."

Jeff smiled at his wife's concern. "The Royal Four do have themselves loyal friends don't they."

"Yes they do. Our daughter just added herself to the target list Jeff. The Special Unit is going to go after her more than the others. I can feel it. Khivar knows that she's alive. He'll be down here to fight for her too," she said with dread evident in her voice.

"He wouldn't dare..."

Nancy turned and glared at Jeff, "Tess is back on Antar with Max's human son and Max is down here with his true bride. What do you think?"

"Tess will be back and try to right her wrongs. Then Khivar is going to stake his claim on Liz but Max won't allow Khivar to go near Liz again considering Khivar was the one who killed her and the rest of them. It's only a matter of time before he remembers that bit of information."
"She's not answering her phone," Maria said in a panic.

"Good, we don't need that good for nothing liar around," Michael grumbled.

"She's your sister Michael. There no need for you to be so crass to her. She tried to do the honorable thing. She told the truth," Alex said.

"She's headed to the dessert," Max said out of nowhere.

"Why would she go there," Kyle asked confused.

"To go to the pod chamber," Isabel concluded, "but for what I have no idea. She wasn't in an incubation pod like the three of us."

"The Granolith," Max said. "I think she's going to the Granolith."

"Why?"

"So she doesn't blow up Roswell," Maria concluded with a shrug.

"No that's not it," Max doubted. "I think she just needs to get away. She put a lot on the line coming to tell us all that."
"Ah My sweet, sweet Aliza I've found you," Khivar mused. "Vilandra has nothing on you. I'll have you again and there's nothing that your beloved Zan can do," he mused again. He watched as Liz pulled close to the crash site and trekked up the hillside to the pod chamber's entrance.

Liz couldn't shake off the feeling that she was being watched. Whoever it was she could probably take them on but she ignored the feeling and crept into the chamber. Walking just past the pods she pressed the wall and it rose revealing the granolith.

She sat down in front of the communication apparatus and stared. "Well, I managed to scrub the mission Mom and Dad were sent on and I just made myself a target to the Special Unit. Why did you send us here? They don't accept us here. They've been known to dissect our species," she said to the granolith almost as if her species on Antar could hear her.

"You know you were sent for a reason," a voice vaguely familiar to Liz spoke.

Liz was startled by the voice. She didn't activate the Granolith so that couldn't have happened. Then she turned around.

"Khivar," She gasped.

"Ah you remember me. Not like your beloved Zan."

Liz glared at him. "You followed me?"

"I had to make myself known didn't I?"

"You could have sent your niece or even Nicholas," Liz spat.

"I had a feeling you were probably going to be the one who would remember your time on Antar. The hybrids had a little difficulty. I see they still have."

Khivar smirked as he came closer to her. "Don't come another step closer Khivar. I mean it."

"There was s time when you wouldn't dream of me not being near you Aliza. What made that change?" He said in a caring voice.

Liz had to fight from groaning at the voice that reminded her so much of her past. "My name is not Aliza anymore."

"You're wrong! You'll always be Aliza in every reincarnation. It won't matter and you know I'll always find you."

"You killed me Khivar. What makes you think I'll believe anything you say to me now?" She could feel her powers manifesting to the surface again.

Khivar shook his head, "I was hoping that would be the one memory you did not remember."

"Why so you could seduce me just like you sent Ava to seduce Zan? Or maybe you didn't want me remembering that you turned my best friend against me. I remember how you goaded Vilandra into telling Zan I had betrayed him. Now why would that happen?"

"I had to stop him from going into power somehow. What better way then to destroy your marriage?"

"I never betrayed him! Why the hell would I? You may have been tempting but I would have never been intimate with you."

"But you..."

"I remember everything Khivar and that never happened. You better leave now before I do something you won't like."

"You're not at full strength you are half human after all."

Liz smirked. "Really? I'm half human? You believe that?"

"Yes, I do. I can sense it."
Max felt Liz being frightened. He heard the name Khivar pop into his head. He could see a blonde man and Liz at the granolith.

"We've got a problem," Max stated to his friends.

"What is it Max?" Isabel asked her brother.

"Khivar. He's at the Granolith and Liz is there by herself and frightened."

Michael's fists tightened at this bit of information. A part of him said screw it and let the creep take Liz, but another part his brotherly instincts part wanted to tear Khivar a part limb from limb. "Let's go and stop him from doing anything to her."

Max smiled, "Ok, Let's go."
"Where's your brother Rath Aliza? I would have thought he'd never leave your side after all he is Zan's Second in Command. You know the one who'll take your beloved's place if you never sire and heir to the throne."

Liz started sparking flames out of her hands, "Killing us didn't secure your place to the throne Khivar. The King and Queen made sure that you would never ascend the way you liked to."

Khivar growled in anger, "It would not be wise to toy with me little girl. You were just a means to an end for me back when you were on Antar."

Liz turned the flames in to a ball and hurled it at Khivar. Khivar laughed as he extinguished the fireball. "That all you got," He asked she squeezed his hand into a fist and as he did Liz felt the air leave her lungs and her throat being tightly clenching.

She was gasping for air. "Let...me...go..." she ordered gasping for air and putting her hands to her throat thinking that it would stop him for crushing her throat.

"You've underestimated me my dear, dear, dear Aliza. I was dangerous in your first life and I'm still dangerous. Zan doesn't have a legitimate heir to the throne and if I kill you now, he'll never have an heir."

"You kill me," Liz choked out, "It'll be your death sentence. Not only will Zan, Rath and Vilandra come after you but so won't our protectors."

"Since when do you four have protectors?" Khivar asked confused which caused him a moment of weakness and loosen his invisible grip on Liz. He retightened his grip on her throat.

Liz choked for air, "Since we had to be reborn and re-find our destiny thanks to you." She spoke between chokes.

Khivar motioned his hand closer to him making Liz come closer to him as well.

MAX!!! HELP!!! Liz thought hoping Max could feel her distress.

"Who are your protectors, my brother, the whack job and who else?"

Liz was becoming unconscious with lack of oxygen which even Antarians need.
