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.
*****
At the Crashdown
Tess watched Maria as she worked. There was something strange about her behaviour,
it had been 2 weeks since the skin debacle and ever since then she had not acted
like the normal Maria, and her eyes. There was just something that told Tess
they weren’t contacts. Another thing was the fact that Maria kept disappearing.
Almost every night after her shift she left the Crashdown and no one could find
her until the next morning, Maria giving no explanation.
“Hey Tess.” Maria greeted.
Tess smiled. “Hey, ah Maria are you ok? I mean it’s just you seem different.”
Maria shrugged. “I’m fine, just plain old Maria, so what can I get you”
Tess shook her head as Maria went to get her order, yep; there was definitely something off.
Maria walked into the backroom after putting in Tess’s order and bumped into one of the skins she regularly saw at Kivar’s place. “What is it?” she asked angrily.
The skin backed up looking frightened. “I’m so sorry my Queen, but I have a message from the King.” Maria waved her hand as if to say go on. “Ah yes well he said to start the process straight away, it’s time”
“Very well, tell him it starts tonight”
The skin nodded and left. Once he was out of sight Maria took out her cell phone and dialled Michael’s number. “Hello” he answered gruffly.
“Michael, it’s me can you come to the Crashdown tonight, I want to talk about us” she said with a roll of the eyes. He had not left her alone since that night and it was beginning to worry her that every time he was near her, Maria once again became the stronger party.
“Yeah ok, about 7 pm. I’ll see you then” Michael said happily into the phone.
“Yeah sure, bye” Maria hung up. She walked over to her locker,
opened it and took out a photo of the eight. “I’ll destroy every
single one of you for what you did to me.”
Maria, well Kara then started to have memories of her past life on Antar, and
what had made her hate the royal four so much.

FLASHBACK
“Kivar, stand down or I will make sure everything you hold dear is destroyed” Zan said sternly trying to sound as strong as he could.
“What about Vilandra? She is the one who lead me into this position, shouldn’t you be, oh I don’t know, hanging her or something, she did betray you after all” Kivar smirked.
Zan looked in his sister’s direction. “She will be dealt with. But I mean it, stand down and stop this war or I will kill those you love”
Kivar laughed. “What? You’d kill your own sister?”
Zan smiled and waved his hand to the side. Kivar looked over and froze. The kings second, Rath, and another guard had hold of his wife. She looked scared. “No, but I’ll kill her, we know you used Vilandra to get to us, so we’ll use your wife to get to you. Stand down”
“Kivar don’t do it” Kara yelled out. Rath put his hand over her mouth.
“Shut up or I’ll slit your throat,” he yelled
Kara looked him dead in the eye. “No you won’t”
Rath tried to look away from her stare but couldn’t. He had belittled Vilandra for having an affair with Kivar when he in turn was sleeping with Kara; in fact he was in love with her. “Why are you trying to stop him?” Rath whispered angrily.
Kara closed her eyes. She loved her husband with all her heart but when she was with Rath, something inside her changed. She loved being with him. She loved her husband but she was in love with Rath. “I can’t let you kill him”
“What the hell is going on, what did she mean?” Zan asked confused. Since when did Rath know Kara?
Kivar looked angry. “I’d like to know that myself”
No one had known about their affair. They had met one day in a near by village and then the relationship went on from there. Rath had known who she was as did she know him but that didn’t matter, they had each other. But under no circumstances were they to let anyone know.
Rath shrugged. “I don’t know what she’s on about”
Kara started to struggle, yes they had said that they wouldn’t tell anyone but surly under the circumstances that should change, she wanted Rath but couldn’t let Kivar die.
Zan shook his head. “Any way, Kivar what is it, will you stop this war or not?”
Kivar looked at his wife who stared at him with teary eyes shaking her head, but he knew that for some reason Rath wouldn’t kill her, he’d find out why later, so he told Zan that he would not step down.
Zan nodded. “Very well, Rath kill her”
Kara let out a startled no. “Rath please” she pleaded. Rath held the knife to her throat. “Rath please don’t do this, I love you,” she whispered so only he could hear.
Rath closed his eyes. He didn’t want to do this, Kara meant everything to him, but he had to do this for his kingdom. If he let her live then Kivar has everything and will be victorious, if she died Kivar would be left vulnerable, but Rath would be alone. Could he stand to lose her? Lose the only woman he ever loved just to save his planet? Rath opened his eyes and made his decision.
END FLASHBACK
*******************
Kara opened her eyes and shook he head to try to rid the memories. When Rath had opened his eyes he had told her he loved her then slit her throat. The last thing she saw was his face, the face of the man she loved, and the face of the man who had killed her.
Kivar still mustn’t have known about her relationship with Rath or he would surly not have brought her back. But that didn’t matter now, Rath killed her while the rest stood and watched. Sure Kivar took his revenge then by killing them all but now it was her turn. Kivar had brought her back to get her vengeance on them for killing her, and she was going to make it last.
“Maria you ok?” Tess asked from behind.
Maria turned angrily. “Why is it that you keep asking me that? I’m fine alright, how many times do I have to say it to make it stick in that stupid head of yours?”
Tess was shocked, why was Maria acting this way? Maria smiled internally, she had wanted to start with Michael but Tess was just too easy. “Maria, I, I just, I’m sorry”
“Well you should be, just leave me alone Tess, I can’t stand the sound of your irritating voice any longer. But I guess you get that a lot huh? I mean, Necado left you didn’t he? Maybe he just got sick of it too, and that’s probably why Max won’t love you, your so god damned annoying that no one wants you around.” Maria said crossing her arms.
Tess had tears in her eyes. All she had wanted was to be accepted, but it was obvious that they didn’t from what Maria was saying. No it couldn’t be true, they did like her. “Maria, what happened to you? Why are you being like this?”
“Like what? Truthful? I don’t like you Tess and never did. Sure I pretended for the sake of the group but I’m sick of it. Now go away and take your pathetic sad look with you” Maria told her.
Tess glared at her but left anyway. She had to get out of that room. Why did Maria hate her so much?
Maria smirked. “One down, 7 to go.”
