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.
*****
Michael walked out of the Deluca house frustrated. They had yet to find Maria
and no one was at her house. He walked over and hopped in the jeep.
“No luck?” Isabel asked. Michael shook his head. “Let’s try the Crashdown,” she told Max who nodded. They pulled into the Crashdown parking lot and met up with Kyle, Liz and Alex who were just arriving. They headed over to the door. Once Max opened it he froze causing both Liz and Alex to bump onto him.
“Max what the hell?” Alex groaned. Liz had elbowed him in the stomach. When Max didn’t say anything both Liz and Alex looked up and saw what made him freeze. There was Maria working away acting like nothing had happened. Isabel sighed.
“What are you all doing?” she made her way to the door then too stood still. “Oh my”
Michael pushed past them all fed up as to why they all were standing still then saw the reason. Maria smiled at them and walked over. “Hey guys are you coming in or just blocking the way for other customers?”
Michael was the first to snap out of his frozen state and dragged Maria off into the backroom followed by the others. Once they were in the room Michael turned her to him and started to check for and cuts or bruises but he found nothing.
“Michael what are you doing?” Maria asked.
“Checking for cuts. Where the hell were you?” he yelled
“What are you talking about, I’ve been here working. Where the hell have you been?” she yelled back.
Michael as well as the others were confused. Kyle stepped forward. “Maria, Liz and I couldn’t find you when we came back and there was blood around your car, we thought someone had taken you so we have been looking.”
“Oh, ah well the reason why I wasn’t at the car is because just as I put the jumper cables on the rod a skin came and dragged me into his car” she started.
“Well that explains the struggle” Kyle said.
Maria continued. “Then as he was driving I was hitting him which probably wasn’t the best idea as he was driving but then he lent forward and I hit his back and he turned into dust, so I grabbed the wheel and headed back here. I couldn’t find you guys so I just thought I’d keep working.”
Isabel shook her head. “That doesn’t make sense, I tried dream walking you but you were passed out, I’m sure of it and that doesn’t explain the blood.”
Maria shrugged. “Well that’s what happened, maybe you did it wrong or you were just worried or something so you made a mistake”
“Maybe” Isabel said nodding. “I was worried and under some stress, I probably wasn’t concentrating right”
“And as for the blood I don’t know what to tell you, it definitely wasn’t mine.” Maria told them.
“It was probably from an animal or something that got hit.” Alex said after a moment. Kyle nodded in agreement.
“But your ok, the skin didn’t hurt you?” Michael asked still unconvinced, her story just didn’t make sense.
Maria smiled. “I’m fine, I was scared at the time but I’m good now.” Michael nodded but watched her carefully. After a few minutes Maria spoke up again. “Ah where’s Courtney?”
Tess smiled and slung her hand around Maria’s shoulders. “She’s dead my friend. The evil bitch is dead”
Outside Roswell
“They believed her my lord,” the skin told Kivar. Kivar smiled,
the royal for were fools. He had sent a skin to spy on them and see how his
beloved was coping. It seemed she was doing quiet well.
“Good, what else did you find out?”
The skin grinned. “Well they have planned a movie night sire, a sort of resting period after what they have been through. They will be at Rath’s apartment tonight. The Queen will be there and she told me to tell you that she will be by afterwards, she has some news for you”
Kivar nodded. “Very well, I wonder what it is”
“Maybe she has a plan my lord,” the skin suggested.
Kivar thought about it. “Maybe, she was always quick with things like that” he smiled in remembrance. He turned back to the skin. “Get back to the lab and see how the doctors are doing.” He ordered him. He needed that essence to be permanent. He couldn’t lose his wife again.
Michael’s Apartment
They all sat around Michael’s apartment waiting Maria’s arrival.
“Does anyone believe that story Maria told us?” Alex asked.
“I don’t” Michael said shaking his head.
“Why not, we have no reason to think otherwise, why would she lie about it?” Tess said sternly. Just then a knock came at the door and Maria walked in.
“Hey” she greeted. All the others nodded and made themselves comfortable as they watched the first movie. All through the movie Michael watched as Maria watched everyone else, not once actually looking at the TV. When she glanced at him he held her gaze until she looked away and finally at the TV.
“What happened to your eyes?” Michael asked aloud as the movie finished. Everyone turned to Maria and too noticed her eyes were no longer a deep green but amber.
“Contacts, do you like them?” Maria asked.
Michael shook his head. “No, they don’t suit you”
Maria smirked. “Well I like them so I guess you’ll just have to put up with it.”
After the second movie things were getting back to normal. Isabel was making eyes at Alex who was drooling back, Liz and Max avoided looking at each other and Kyle and Maria were arguing over what movie to watch next. After the third movie they had all decided to leave. Maria was the last to leave but Michael tugged on her arm signalling he wanted her to stay for a bit.
“What?” she asked.
“Look, I need to say some things to you ok and I need you to listen. Once I’m done you can go home and think about them then decide what you want ok?”
Maria nodded then Michael continued. “Ok, well firstly, I was worried today, real worried when I thought you had been taken and it got me thinking about the future, how I don’t think I could live in one without you. I need you Maria plain and simple. All Courtney was, was information. When I kissed her I thought of you and touching her repulsed me to no end. Yes she was pretty but I felt nothing for her. It’s you and it will always be you that I love. I know in the past I have taken the fact that you’ll always be there for granted but I won’t anymore, you mean too much to me to lose again. I need you in my life and I hope you need me too.” He finished in a breath.
When Maria opened her mouth to speak Michael swooped in and kissed her gently, like their first kiss in the Crashdown. When he finished and pulled away he put there heads together and looked into her eyes. “Don’t say anything, just think about it ok?”
Maria nodded then walked out the door leaving Michael wondering what that flash that he had gotten from her was about. He saw a room and a window with a view of Roswell, then he saw red, the colour red. What was that about? He hadn’t meant to get a flash when he kissed her but now that he did he wanted to know what it meant.
Maria drove along the highway thinking about the kiss, but she was no longer Maria anymore, she was Kara, the wife of Kivar. So why were Maria’s feelings so strong when Michael kissed her? Shouldn’t her feelings be fading away? Kara sped up. She had to talk to Kivar, something wasn’t right.
Outside Roswell
Kivar watched as his lover got out of her car and walked up to the door. A skin
showed her to the room he was in. “Hello my dear”
Kara walked over to him and kissed him passionately. Kivar was thrown a little off guard but composed himself and kissed her back with full force. Kara pulled back after a while and smiled at his surprised yet happy face. She turned and frowned. Why could Maria muster up so much feeling when she kissed Michael but she couldn’t feel even half of that when she kissed her husband. Maria was supposed to be dying not getting stronger.
Kivar hugged her from behind. “Something wrong my dear?”
Kara nodded. “I think Maria is getting stronger, I thought you said her essence would die.”
Kivar frowned. Those doctors had better find a solution soon. “Yes, the doctors are working on it now, I thought it would be permanent but there were some doubts, they’ll fix it don’t worry. So you had some news for me then”
Kara smiled and turned in his arms. “Yes I do. I have a plan actually.”
“I knew you would” Kivar laughed. Kara whacked him in the chest then continued.
“Let me finish. Anyway I know how to bring them down. First is Michael. I’ll use his love for Maria to destroy him; I’ll throw his past in his face, then Isabel and Alex. I’ll play with them; make them think that the other doesn’t want them. It’ll be easier with Liz and Max. I’ll spill Liz’s secret about not sleeping with Kyle and poof, trust gone. Kyle and Tess will be harder but I have a way. I’ll make Kyle think Tess is using him and I’ll make Tess feel more alone than ever. They won’t know what hit them”
Kivar smiled. “Well done my love. I couldn’t have thought of a better one myself.”
Kara kissed him softly. “That’s why you love me”
Kivar laughed. “I love you for that and more, much more”
“Well, after that I’ll think of a way to lure them here and then that’s where you’ll come in and when they find out there precious Maria is no more” Kara smirked.
Kivar chuckled. He liked when his wife was in a killing mood. “Patience
my dear, we don’t want to rush this. Work them slowly then when all is
ready we’ll make our final move and the royal four and their human friends
will die and we once again, will be victorious.”
