Additional notes: In this fic, if you haven’t
seen the episode when the skins go to Roswell then you may not get it but you
can try. Also, I’m making out that Liz already told Maria about future
Max. Oh and Kivar had been on earth for a while but has not made his presence
known.
*****
Maria stood at the foot of the board scared and alone. Just a few seconds ago
Kyle, like Liz had disappeared; now it was up to her to save all human kind.
Maria grabbed the jumper cables and climbed up to where the rod was. She attached
them and jumped down.
“God I hope this works”
“Pity you’ll be gone when your friends get back” a voice came from behind.
Maria turned and saw a skin. She started running for the car when he stopped her and grabbed her around the waist. Maria elbowed him in the gut and he let go but as he did she fell and he grabbed her ankle. He crawled up to her and turned her over. Maria tried pushing him off but it was hopeless, the skin slapped her then pulled out a knife and stabbed Maria in the side.
Maria started coughing then finally all her strength left her and she saw darkness.
The skin stood up and looked down at the bruised beauty lying on the ground. “Damn she’s strong,” he said as he grabbed his aching gut. He signalled behind him and a car pulled up. Just as the rod began to explode the two skins put Maria into the car and drove off.
“Are you sure she’s the one?” the skin driving asked.
The other nodded. “Definitely, her image was put into my head before we left. This is the one he wanted.”
The driving skin lifted his eyebrows in disgust. “But she’s human”
The other skin smiled evilly. “Not for long.” They both laughed as the continued down the highway and into the desert.
Back at the board
Liz stood at the foot of the board and jumped up and down with excitement, she
was back. Kyle came up behind her and hugged her.
“We’re back, Maria did it, she really did it. She saved us.” Kyle cheered. Liz laughed and looked around for Maria.
“Kyle, where is she?”
Kyle too began to look around. He saw her car but no Maria. He walked around to the passenger side where he saw the blood. “Oh my god Liz, come here” he called to her.
Liz ran over to him and gasped when she saw the blood. “Oh god Kyle, what do you think happened?”
Kyle shrugged but leant down. “I’m not sure but she struggled, you can see where her shoes have been and there’s some hair.” He pointed next to the tyre. “She’s been taken.”
Liz started to cry, afraid for her best friends life. “We need to find the others now, we need to find Maria.” She started heading towards the driver’s side but froze and glanced at Kyle. “What are we going to tell Michael? He’ll go crazy if he knew Maria’s been taken.”
Kyle frowned and looked into the distance. “Like he’ll care Liz.”
Liz gasped in shock. “Kyle how could you say that? Michael loves Maria”
Kyle laughed dryly. “Yeah and he’s really shown it lately, you know being with Courtney and all”
Liz got in and started the car. “Kyle, yes I admit he’s been a jerk but he really does love Maria”
“Well he’s got a great way of showing it” Kyle said bitterly as he too got into the car. Liz started to drive towards Michael’s apartment in hopes that they all would be there.
“Since when did you get so involved in Michael and Maria’s life anyway?” she asked.
Kyle sighed. “Since our parents began dating, knowing my luck Deluca will eventually be my sister, and that means family, and no one hurts my family.”
Liz smiled. Kyle really was a good guy after all. But still how was Michael going to take the news?
Michael’s apartment
Isabel smiled as she answered the door and saw Alex. “Thank god your safe”
Alex was still confused. The sheriff had filled him out on what had happened but still, he disappeared? “Yeah I’m safe, a little confused but safe. So can someone explain to me what is going on?”
“Well Courtney’s dead for one” Tess said happily. She really didn’t like the girl.
Michael shook his head. “She saved our lives Tess”
Tess shrugged. “So, she also brought the skins here, I had no reason to like the girl.”
Michael shook his head in dismay. “Hey she killed herself to protect our secret ok”
Max stood up. “No it’s not ok Michael, you shouldn’t have told her our secret in the first place, and Tess is right, she lead the skins to us, all of this wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for her. She’s gone now anyway, let’s just forget about it and move on.”
Michael nodded but was still angry. Didn’t they understand that she had answers to there past?
“Ah still in the lurch over here guys” Alex waved. Isabel laughed and led him into the kitchen and told him the whole story. When they were done they went back to the living room and sat. “So Maria, Kyle and Liz went to save us humans?”
Isabel nodded. “Yeah and it looks like they succeeded so they should be here soon. I wonder what they did?”
Max was about to speak when Liz and Kyle burst into the room. Liz ran into Max’s arms. “Oh god Max, thank god your ok” Max smiled but let her go, the memory still fresh of her and Kyle together was still in his mind.
“You actually did it, I admit I had my doubts but you guys came through” Tess said smirking.
“Actually it was Maria who did it, Liz disappeared on the way there and I disappeared just as Maria thought of how to destroy the rod thing,” Kyle told them. Tess nodded in approval. Who would have thought?
Michael looked towards the door. “Ah guys where is Maria?” Liz and Kyle shared a look. “Where the hell is she?” he yelled.
Liz sighed. “We don’t know. When we returned we couldn’t see her so Kyle went to the side of the car and we found blood and some hair by the tyre, Kyle thinks there was a struggle, that she was probably…taken”
Michael sat down limp. He didn’t hear anything after blood. Someone had hurt his Maria, that someone was going to pay.
Max glanced at his friend worried. The emotions were clear on his face as they passed. First confusion, then fear, then sadness and finally anger. “Let’s go back and see if we can get a flash or something,” he suggested. Everyone nodded and all started to leave. Max went to Michael. “We’ll find her man”
Michael nodded. “I’m not giving up until we do.”
