A/N; Ok First let me say thank you to my reviewers. 2nd, I want to say Thank you for your patience. I know it's been awhile since my last real update. I also know this is short it's better than nothing right?
Recap:
Don't thank us yet," Isabel grumbled. "What did you exactly do to tick off Khivar?"
"Well I return to Antar to claim the throne and bring the heir. I had no idea that they would put the baby through a testing process. Anyway they tested Lucas and came up with nothing. Khivar ordered a death warrant on me and the baby because I had failed my mission."
"Now Khivar is after you? I don't believe a word you're saying Tess. Why should we help you, you've done nothing but destroy our lives ever since you introduced yourself to us. You killed Kyle and Alex. Max got to Kyle in time but he was too late for Alex. Alex was the one person who had never harmed anyone! You stole Max from Liz not a good move I might add and you've lead our enemies right towards us. Do you hate us that much?" Isabel ranted.
"This isn't about hate! I told Max why I did what I did before I left. I would have thought he told you all."
"Max didn't tell us and probably for good reason," Michael stated as he glared at Max and his younger sister to see how they were taking this. He saw Liz concentrating, probably on the force shield she had up.
"Please take down the force shield Max," Tess begged.
Max looked at Liz and gave her a look and nodded, "Ok Tess I will."
Liz immediately let the force shield barriers down but still stood at guard.
"Khivar didn't put an order on her. She's lying. We all know Khivar has been down here the whole time," Liz stated.
"How would you know human?" Tess snarled.
Liz smirked. "They know Tess. They know the truth. Your mind warps aren't going to work on us anymore either Tess," Liz smirked some more.
Tess laughed at the absurdity that Liz would even think to out her. "We're lying now Liz? Funny, I would have thought that wholesome little Lizzie would be gone by now Max."
"You never were bright Ava," Liz spat naturally forgetting that human Liz wasn't suppose to know Tess' former life's name and that the other three aliens were putting on a front for Tess.
"Oh please, you actually think Almighty King Max is going to believe a word you say?" Tess asked Liz.
"Eliza, Eliza, Eliza, thou shall get what is coming to thou. Did thou honestly think I was going to allow thou to get married to the one person who would elevate my station on this God Forsaken planet?"
"Go run along to your incestrious Uncle Ava," Eliza spat. "Zan would never bed a woman like you and you know it. You can plot against me and my family you can even try and steal my betrothed, but you will never win in this life or the next. You want to know why?" The princess waited for the puissant to come up with a comeback. "You do know why. Thus thy reason for trying to ruin your Majesty's life, whether thou wish to accept thy truth as it is or not and thou knows the prince and I are already bound to each other for eternity. Thou know the prince and I will find each other in every life from now until the end of time."
"Your Highness thinks that they can get rid of me that easily. Lord Khivar will have the thrown and when he has over thrown the Antarians; he will have his way with thou and give thou to the former prince. The prince shall not accept thee after he learns of the indiscretion."
Eliza shook her head, "Try as thee might, thou do not intimidate me."
"King Max is still in this room," Max stated as he was getting annoyed with the hostility going on between the two teens. "This isn't winning you any points Tess. You killed dozens of G-Men, you killed a friend and you want our help. If you want us to help you, then I suggest you stop being so hateful towards Liz and a little more friendly."
Liz smirked at Tess now.
Tess scowled at Liz. "I should have killed her too while I had the chance," she spat.
Lightening flashed outside though the weather had cleared up. The lightening was Liz's reaction to the regret Tess had vocalized. "You wouldn't have lasted two seconds Ava."
"Oh shut up Eliza," Tess growled. "You're the main reason why we all got sent to this uncivilized planet in the first place!"
"My name is not Eliza," Liz seethed. "You're story doesn't pan out and you know it."
"Something tells me that Tess knew all along that Liz was one of us," Isabel murmured to Max and Michael.
"What do you mean Liz is the reason why we were sent here," Max ordered Tess. The scene unfolding before him seemed childish and Max could feel Liz's embarrassment through their bond.
"It's a long story and I don't have enough time to share it. Khivar is after me!" Tess was desperately trying to grasp at straws. She knew Khivar was after her. It was only a matter of time before he traced her to the royal four.
"If I was you Tess I would make the time because if you don't the only non alien hybrid in here will unless her fury onto you. You wouldn't wan that now would you?" Michael threatened. "As you said we kill you, then we kill Max's son."
The baby as if on cue started waling at the top of his lungs. Tess started bouncing him up and down to calm him. "Khivar and Zan had a war going on back on Antar over Eliza…I mean Liz. Liz and Zan, you Max, we deeply enthralled with each other. Khivar got outraged because she wouldn't give him time of day so he set out to murder everyone of the royal court. But The Queen Mother somehow predicted that so she saved our life essences and sent us down here where we lay vulnerable…"
Michael, Max, and Isabel all tried to keep a straight face. This was the same thing that Liz explained somewhat.
Just as Tess trailed off the lights in Michael's apartment flickered off, an explosion went off and the back door went flying off its hinges. A figure loomed in the darkness. Liz and Tess looked at each other in distress and both swallowed the golf balls that suddenly were lodged in there throats.
