A plan had been made up. Maria was going to wander the streets of Roswell in hopes that Benaro would find her. She would tell him that they had hurt her and she too wanted revenge hoping that he’d trust her enough to tell her why he was there. They hoped he would tell he how he intended to kill them then Maria would perform a mind warp while the others came into the room and prepare to fight having the upper hand.
Maria walked through the park starting to think that maybe this wasn’t the best idea she had ever thought up when suddenly someone grabbed her from behind. She let out a shriek of surprise. Her attacker let her go and she turned to face him.
“I was hoping it would be you,” she said.
Benaro raised an eyebrow. “Oh yeah? Why is that?” he asked
“My friends have hurt me in a way that can never be forgiven. I’m fed up with being the wacky sidekick that always comes second and is thrown away. I want revenge.” Maria said hoping he’d believe her.
Benaro smiled believing her. “Well then lets head to my place to discuss how we are going to do this.” Maria smiled and got into his car while the others followed, Kyle having to hold Michael back from tackling the guy when he touched Maria’s back. Maria however thought that this was just a little to easy.
They followed them to an abandoned warehouse. “So why do you want revenge?” Maria asked
Benaro smiled. “I want revenge for Tess.”
“Why? How did you know her?” Maria wanted to know, already knowing that this guy was dumber than they had thought. He trusted her already enough to let her in on his secret.
“She was my daughter.” He stoped hearing Maria’s gasp but continued. “I knew Necado as well. When Tess was younger, when she first emerged from the pods I cared for her until one day I killed a man.”
“Why did you kill a man?”
“Why not? I don’t like humans and he got in my way.” Maria had to bite back a comment. “Anyway after that Necado took off with Tess and I never saw them until one day I was passing through here and I saw them. I killed Necado---“
“He said a skin killed him.” Maria interrupted
“I told him not to say anything or I’d kill the royal four. Anyway so I approached Tess and we became reacquainted. We wanted to go home together. She was going to let you all know about me until she got pregnant and stayed with that Max boy a lot. I helped her to get that boy Alex to translate the book for a way home. But when I found out that they were ready to leave I hurried to see Max, Isabel and Michael walk way sending Tess to her death at the hands of Kivar. I found out about Necado’s deal to late. Tess knew before me but didn’t tell me. Now I want revenge for my daughter.”
“I want to help,” Maria said hoping it was in a calm voice. She couldn’t believe he aided in Alex’s death.
He went on to tell Maria of how he planed on killing them, using a liquid that if injected caused there race to die instantly. While he was explaining Maria mind warped him into thinking that the room was still the same that nothing was happening when in fact the others had filed into the room. When they were in the mind warp stopped. Benaro handed Maria the syringe ready for the injection.
“What the hell?”
“You won’t kill us,” Max told him. Benaro walked up to him and punched him in the face sending him to the ground.
“Kill him now Maria, get the revenge you deserve.”
Maria walked over to them and knelt down but instead of going for Max’s arm he stuck the needle in Benaro’s neck and injected his body. Benaro looked at her with confused eyes. “You aided in killing my best friend. This is the best revenge a girl could ask for.”
He started to convulse and Michael pulled Maria away. Blood poured out of his mouth and he turned to dust in front of them.
Michael pulled Maria out of the building and the others followed. “Are you ok? Did he hurt you?” he asked checking her out.
Maria grabbed his hands. “Michael I’m ok. I’m fine.”
Michael still wasn’t convinced. “You sure?”
“Yeah, I mean I was scared but I’m good. I’m Teflon. And might I add, that he was stupid, I mean if I was an evil alien I wouldn’t trust someone you originally planned on killing and let them in on your secret, I mean come on, they could have engineered him with a brain at least.” Maria said smiling. Max laughed and shook his head. ‘Only Maria’ he thought as they walked out of the building.
Maria saw that Michael was going to ask her again. She put a finger to his lips. “I’m fine.”
Michael closed his eyes and kissed her fingertip. He pulled her close, having no intention of letting go. “Let’s go home,” he said walking over to the car with Maria in tow.
Maria smiled when he said home. “Yeah, let’s go home.”
