| "Michael, what are you doing here and how did you find me?" Maria said angrily. "I came to ask you the same thing," Michael said back. "What?" Maria asked. "Why did you leave and why did you come back?" Michael asked as he walked toward Maria. "None of your business," Maria yelled and backed away from Michael. "Maria, I never wanted you to leave," Michael said. "What, you wanted me to stay here so you could play with my feelings," Maria yelled "Maria, I am sorry," Michael yelled back. "Screw you, Michael," Maria yelled even harder. She screamed so hard, she didn't hear the door opening. "Mom, why are you sad," Mary said as she walked up to Maria. Michel froze and looked at the little girl. She had Maria´s eyes and lips. "Oh hunny, why aren't you in bed sleeping," Maria said scooping Mary up in her arms. "You were angry, so I couldn't sleep," Mary said sadly. "Well how about we go in, and you go to sleep, ok?" Maria said and kissed Mary on top of her head. "Okay, but who's that," Mary said and pointed her finger at Michael who still stood frozen to the ground. "That is an old friend of mommy's," Maria said and met Michael's eyes for the first time. "Hi, my name is Mary," Mary said smiling. "My name is Michael," Michael said and smiled back at the little girl. Michael walked forward and touched the little girl's face. Mary closed her eyes. "He is like me," Mary said and opened her eyes again. "What?" Michael asked. "Nothing, goodnight Michael," Maria said in hurry and walked into her room with Mary. "Goodnight," Michael said as Maria closed the door. ********************* "Mary, what did I say," Maria said angrily at the little girl who was on her bed. "But, he is like me mom," Mary said smiling. She wasn't alone. "I know, but you can't say that," Maria said trying to be mad, but Mary had some effect on Maria, that always made it so that Maria couldn't be mad for a long time. "Sorry," Mary said. "It's ok, hun," Maria said and hugged Mary. "Let's go to sleep, ok?" Maria said and tucked Mary in. "Okay," Mary said and closed her eyes. "Night sweetie," Maria said and kissed Mary. ******* "Max you wouldn't guess who's back in town," Michael said and walked into Max's apartment. Two years ago Max and Liz moved in together, so Michael had to learn when Liz worked so that he could talk to Max alone, and he knew that Liz went to work tonight. "Who?" Max asked and walked over to Michael and sat down on the couch. "Maria," Michael said and sat down beside Max. "No way! I got to tell Liz," Max said, excited and rose from the couch. Max started to put his jacket on when Michael said: "You can't," "Why not," Max wondered. "Because I think Maria didn't want us to know about her," Michael said sadly. "Did she say that," Max wondered. "No, but I got that feeling, like she was afraid," Michael said and put his head in between his hands. "Let Isabel go into her dream and find out what she wants," Max said, trying to cheer Michael up. He knew what Maria´s disappearance did to him, and now when she showed up like this. Well, Max was afraid something would happen. "Okay," Michael said and walked out to the jeep. ******** "You want me to do what!" Isabel yelled. First she learn that Maria was back in town, and now they want her to go into her dreams. All this she learned in less then 5 minutes. "Please," Max asked. "I went into her dream once, and I am not doing it again," Isabel said, angry. "Please," Michael said, and she knew that Michael wasn't a person who said please to just anyone, so she knew it was serious. "Okay," Isabel said and laid down on her bed. Isabel fell asleep and walked into Maria´s dream. Isabel almost got a heart attack when she entered. All the images and feelings overwhelmed her. Isabel saw everything that had happened to Maria the last 5 years. A tear ran down Isabel´s face as she saw the torture that Maria went threw. Isabel woke up screaming, and it scared the living daylights out of Alex, Max and Michael. Isabel bolted out of the bed and ran down to the jeep. Max, Alex and Michael followed "Isabel, what happened," Max yelled as he, Alex, and Michael got in the jeep. "We'll get Liz, Kyle and Tess and then we are going over to Maria," Isabel said as she continued crying. "Why," Michael said angrily, he knew that something had happened to Maria, and Isabel saw it in the dream. "Let's go, I will tell you later," Isabel said and pulled out of the driveway and onto the road toward the Crashdown. Max, Michael and Isabel got everybody and they drove over to the Roswell Inn, where Maria lived. TBC |
