Prologue:

I walk through the halls of the palace, who will be mine in another ten years. On the night of my 18th birthday I will be married to a snobby prince I don`t even love and I`ll be crowned Queen to a galaxy I don`t even want.

Let me introduce myself, I`m Elizabeth Anne Parker, daughter of His Majesty Jeffery Parker and Her Majesty Nancy Parker. I`m the eight years old princess of planet Antar and the future Queen of the Whirlwind Galaxy.

I`ve lived all my life in this palace, trapped here, I`ve never exited the walls of the palace, not because I don`t want to, but because I am forbidden to.

I`ve been lonely all my life, I`ve never met another kid. I have never talked to any of the servants. I`ve never made any contact with another person other than my nanny, my parents (which I don`t see very often) and my brother.

Let`s talk about my brother. His name is Michael Parker, he`s my twin, he was born two minutes before me and because of that he thinks he has control over me.

My parents are not the kind of parents a kid needs to have in their life. My parents are never there for me, and they have never been, it`s my nanny who has always been there for me. She has taken care of me since I was born. My brother is not living here anymore, so I`m pretty lonely now, my parents send him off to a royal school. There he`s learning how to use and control his powers, so like that he`ll be prepared in the future, to be my second in command, when he turns 18.

My life sucks, plain and simple, I`m a princess, a royal, but there`s nothing great about it. Sometimes I wish that I was normal, that I could escape this hell and live a life, marry a man that I love, not be forbidden of everything and being watched 24/7. Sometimes I wish I could be loved, that one day my soulmate will walk through the doors of the palace and save me from this world. But that will never happen.

So I`m sure that you are all wondering what I`m doing walking through the hallways of the palace alone, if I`m being watched, well I escaped. I was able to runaway from my nanny when she had her back turned, and now I`m headed to my room, the only place where I can find peace.

I open the door to my room and I see a boy, another kid, but I don`t think that he heard me come in because he hasn`t turned around.

"Hi!!!" I tell him, he turns around and he has a scared look on his face.

"Hi" He replies.

"Who are you?" I ask him.

"I`m your servant, princess." He tells me, I am shocked, I don`t have a servant and I don`t need one.

" I don`t have a servant..." He doesn`t reply, so I continue "...and I certainly don`t need one." He`s quite, he`s looking at his shoes and has his hands in his pockets. He looks kinda of cute like that. "Why aren`t you replying?" I ask him.

"I was teach not to argue with a princess, nor answer back to one. I was told to listen and speak when I am asked too, princess."

"That`s ridicules..." I tell him, I am disgusted, why do people tell them these things. "...you speak when you want and I don`t need a servant..." I pause then I continue "...but I do need a friend" He looks up to me, confused, surprised and curious, to where I was headed. "Do you want to be my friend?" I ask him, he`s still looking at me but this time in amaze. I give a shy smile to him, and he gives me one right back.
"And please stop calling me princess, call me Liz."

His smile grew bigger "I`m Max"

Since that moment we have been friends, but in a complete secrecy.


Part 1

I ran down the hall in my under clothes at fast pace, my maid Maria was running after me with the dress my parents expected me to wear for my thirteenth birthday.

Today is my fifteenth and eve Michael had taken time out of Royal School to visit. But he hadn't spent a single minute with me. I glanced back behind me at my chasing maid carrying that hideous dress with her under her arm as she held her skirt up so she wouldn't trip over.

"Your highness!" she called "You parents told me that you had to wear it!" I felt a hand grab my arm and I was pulled behind a curtain "Hiding wont work!" called Maria. Max shoved me down the secret passage we used to get away, from the other servants, and shut the door behind him. I smiled as I put my hands on his shoulders and he put his hands on my waist

"I missed you," he stated before kissing me softly. He had never kissed me before but I knew I liked it

"I missed you too" he blushed and I gasped then suppressed a smile "Come on let's go back to my bedroom"

"You're… you're bedroom?" he squeaked

"To get dressed silly. What did you think I was going to kiss you some more" I turned away before I saw his reaction. I grabbed his hand and pulled him along the secret passage till we got back to my room. He held the candle he had taken from the little hold in the wall and took the lead.

He shoved open the painting and put the candle in the hole and jumped out then lifted me down. I caught a blush and smiled

"Oh look I'm all dirty now!" I looked down at my underclothes, even though no one would see them I had to have clean clothes. My mother always said if I met up with a young prince from the next planet I would have to have clean under clothes.

"So am I so what"

"Fine!" I said as I shut the painting door and pulled him into the bathroom and then pulled him into the bathroom. I turned on the taps and poured my favourite strawberry bubble bath in and the tub filled with bubbles.

"Get in" I stated and he blushed bright red all the way to his ears.

"Huh? In there?"

"Yes are you afraid of water or something?"

"No" he tried to be brave as he stripped off in front of me and got in the bath. I took off my underclothes and dropped them over his and got in with him.

"Could you pass me the soap?" he asked nervously and I reached behind me and passed it to him. I smiled and he smiled back then I heard someone knocking on the door.

"Elizabeth" said my mom as she knocked on the door "Are you ready?" I looked at Max, a servant, who was in the bath, with me! I put my hands on top of his head and shoved him under the bubbles just as my mom came in

"You're not ready!" she gasped "Where is that clumsy girl Maria? Why isn't she getting you ready? Get out of the bath right now!"

"But I've only got in mother and I'm still dirty!" Max was poking me legs and I could feel him loosing his breath.

"Whatever just get ready the ball will begin soon" she didn't say my birthday she said ball. I bet the maids had to remind her that it was my birthday! She left quickly and Max jumped up and gasped for air

"Oh baby, are you okay?"

"Fine" he blushed again. He had been doing that a lot around me "Just fine" he leaned forward and kissed me again but this was different than before. My eyes were open and I could see his ears and they were tipped red.

"Max" I whispered when I pulled away from him.

"Liz just promise me one thing?"

"Anything" I said dreamily as I looked at him. I got the jug and poured water over his chest and then took the soap from him and washed his chest.

"Let me have one dance with you at the ball"

"What? Max you can't!" I pleaded with him. We both knew what it meant if he did, he would be taken from me and sent far away. Maybe even killed?

"Why can't I? I love you more than those silly princes do. They just want to marry you to be king I don't want that Liz. I love you and you as a person" I got out the bath and flicked the bubbled from my hair and wrapped myself up in a big towel

"You love me?"

"Yes I love you. You were the only friend I ever had and no one ever treated me like you did. I've loved you ever since I first saw you"

"Max you know you could be killed for the words you're saying"

"Don't you trust me?" he asked as he got out the bath and took my hands. I smiled and wrapped him in my towel with me

"Of course I do silly Maxie. I love you too" I looked up into his big brown eyes and kissed him.

"I better go now. I have to work you know, I have lots to do. Happy Birthday Liz" I left him in the bathroom to get dressed and climbed into the cupboard and go out the secret passage.

Maria was waiting for me outside with a new set of under clothes and the dress I dreaded. I looked at her angrily and pulled out another dress from the wardrobe. It was purple and had black lining

"I'm not wearing that horrid thing Maria. Please give me some dignity, I've slipped you coins every so often for letting me get away with things so let me get away with this"

"Fine but I'm not going down for this" she pulled the dress over my head and I brushed my hair. By rules she was supposed to brush my hair but I wanted to do some things instead of being a lazy Joe!

"How do I look?" I asked as I twirled and almost fell over with the shoes I was wearing. I kicked off the heels and went for my low runner shoes made of loose leather that were like small slippers.

"You look really fantastic your highness. There are going to be some broken hearts all over the ball room tonight!" she smiled

"What do you mean by that?"

"Max. He's my cousin and I'm his only friend, he told me how he felt about you. He loves you so much" she nodded "Liz he's never felt this way before and I know you like him back"

"You must be a good cousin for him to tell you his secrets?"

"The best" she smiled and I hugged her. I didn't give about my dress when I did and I left the room with my fan and shawl. Guards escorted me down to the ballroom and the trumpets sounded when I entered this was it.

Part 2:

As I exit Liz`s room I made my way around the palace, I need to find a suit or a tux, something very fancy and royal.

I see Michael walking my way and I run to him. "Michael I need a big favour." He looks at me and he brings me to his room.

*****************************************

So I`m standing in front of Michael`s mirror, admiring my reflecting. I got to say I look quite good in this suit, I look almost royal.

"So what do you think?" I turn to Michael, who`s tying his tie.

"In my opinion, you don`t look like a servant, So you`re really sure about this??? What you are about to do could cost your life" He actually looks concerned for me, who would have believed it. Michael Stonewall Parker, actually concerned for someone. That`s no true, compared to what other people think, Michael is a big softy after you got to know him and gain his trust.

"Michael you don`t have to worry, I have it all planned out already." I said.

"And what is this amazing plan of yours." He asked, I was about to answer, when we hear banging on the door.

"Maxwell Phillip Deluca, get your ass out of that room right now." Maria screamed. I looked at Michael and I can see sympathy there, if he`s not gonna help me, I`m gonna bring him down with me.

"Why don`t you go and open the door Michael, and I go and hide away from Hurricane Deluca." Before he can protest, I ran away and went and hide in his bathroom. I press me ear to door and try and listen carefully to the conversation that is gonna take place soon. I hear the door opening and Maria storming in, oh this is not gonna be good.

"Hi Maria. It`s good to see you, it`s been quite a while." I hear Michael say in a shaky voice. It`s quite funny actually, there`s Michael, the future powerful Second in Command of Antar, scared of a servant. It`s funny, but Maria is something to be afraid of when she`s pissed or on a mission.

"Michael shut up." Everything when silent and I could hear footsteps approaching the bathroom door, that`s it, I`m dead. I hear the doorknob turning very slowly, I look around panicked, I have to find a place to hide and fast, but too later before I can try and escape Maria is standing right in front of me.

Oh god, what is she gonna do to me now. "H....hh....hhhh...hi Maria" I finally get out, I don`t like the look that she`s given to me, not at all.

"So Max..." She said circling me, like I was gonna be her next prey.

"What is this thing I hear about you and the princess??" Oh boy, what is she gonna do to me now, she`s not gonna leave me alone till I answer her.

"Nothing is going on with me and the princess." I say, trying to sound convincing. I can see Michael from the corner of my eyes. He`s trying to hide his grin and not to burst out laughing.

"Really....so what was that little escapade to the bathroom about?" Oh no, she knows about that. How does she know about that" I look around panicked trying to find a way to escape, but there`s only one way and Michael is blocking the way to the door, and I don`t think that he`s gonna move away. "And why are you so dressed up and cleaned?"

"Huh...For no reason and what escapade to the bathroom?" I ask in denial, but I know it`s not working cuz she got she arms crossed, tapping her foot and she`s still looking at me with that look. "Fine I`ll tell you." I finally give in and her tell what she wants to know and my plan for tonight.

*************************************************************
So I`ve been here for two hours at my suppose "party" and I already want to kill myself. I`m so bored all the people I`ve met here so far are snobby and perverted princes and snobby and prep princesses. ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH, I can`t stand this, it`s so frustrating and that party only started. Great, I roll my eyes. I miss Max, why can`t he just be here. Cuz he`ll get killed if he gets caught. This is so not fair, I have to be to this damned birthday party, that for my parents is more like a ball, an opportunity to show me off and try to find me my future snobby and bastard of husband.

I`m so bored, Max said that he was going to dance with me tonight and that nothing was going to stop him, and that scares me because I know that he would do it. He would do it without thinking twice about it, and he could get killed. If they ever discover him here, a servant dancing with the next ruler of the Whirlpool Galaxy, they would kill him without thinking twice. A part of me would really want him to be next to me right now, but I know that it`s way to dangerous, it`s not worth Max`s life. If he ever died, everybody would be heartbroken, Maria, his aunt, Michael, my nanny Claudia and me, non of us would survive that.

I`m lost in my own mind, in Maxland with I feel this tap on my shoulder, I turn around and my eyes pop out of their orbit and my jaw is wide open.

"Would this lovely lady have the honour to dance with me?" Before I can answer him and takes me in his arms and starts dancing to a slow. I comes closer to my ear and whisper "I told you that I will get a dance from you tonight."

I look Max directly in his eyes, he`s beautiful amber eyes, that are a window to his soul. I can`t believe he came, he`s risking his own life just to have to little dance with me. "What are you doing here? Don't you know that`s it`s dangerous for you to be here."

"I don`t care, if I die tonight I`ll die happy because I got to dance with the girl I love, with the only girl I`ll ever love." I had tears in my eyes, happy tears. Nobody has ever said so sweet to me before. I look up to him and he cups my cheek and whips away my tears. "I love you Liz" He tells me.

"I love you too Max." I lean my head on his shoulder, he has his fingers playing through my hair.

All of a sudden I hear all this commotion and all hell break loose.


Part 3:


"Let's get out of here!" she whispers as I watch that snobbish get sneer at my cousin. Yeah he was here. Prince Nicholas had been invited and he kept staring at Liz and me. I didn't like him one bit but I longed to be in his shoes to be lucky enough to get to marry Liz.

"No I am enjoying dancing with you. I love holding you and being this close to you and touching you… and kissing you" she smiled

"You do?" she leaned close then kissed me. Nicholas came over and asked if he could cut in but Liz just stared blankly as I moved back and let him take her away from me. I could see him trying to kiss her and she kept pulling away from him. She finally took hold of her purple skirt and ran over to me grabbed my hand and we ran off together.

"I want to leave with you. Let's leave and go someone where no one knows us" she said before she pushed me up against a wall. She was totally in love with me now and I knew that I had unleashed a monster.

"Come on. Come with me" I lead her back to her bedroom and continued kissing her passionately.

"There is no one else I love Max. It's you or no one, I can't be with anyone like you I want you so badly!" she slowly laid me down on her bed and got up on top of me.

"I have never done this but I want you so bad. I want you to be my first even though I'm only fifteen. They want to marry me off to Nicholas soon so I want you to have me before he does"

"Liz don't mention his name, I can hardly breath at the thought of him with you doing things that only I should"

"Make love to me Max. I never wanted anyone else" we stripped off our clothes and climbed under the covers together. We had been naked before so it wasn't such a surprise. I kissed her and it felt like kissing her for the first time I slowly moved on top of her and slid my penis into her. She moaned in pain when I broke her barrier and I slowed till she was ready

"Now Max I need you now" she whispered as we stared into each other's eyes. I moved slowly and she gasped. I kept going till she came and I watched the pleasure pass over her face and I came just by knowing I had caused that. It was truly remarkable. I fell off her and snuggled up as we became a tangle of limbs. I kissed her nose as she fell asleep. I spent the entire night awake just watching her sleep.

The light rose and she woke up and smiled at me then kissed me
"How long have you been awake Max?"

"All night" I admitted

"You must be tired?"

"Yes but I don't care. I love watching you sleep, it makes me as warm as seeing you in so much pleasure" I tell her as she sits up and pulls on a shirt. I can't remember who it belongs to exactly but then I remember she was wearing a dress so it must have been mine.

I got out of the bed and got dressed in the clothes Michael had lent me and kissed her goodbye as I slipped from her room and went to return the clothes to Michael and get mine back.

I wandered down to the scullery and found Maria angrily punching dough while Aunt Amy was taking a tray out of the oven

"Where the hell where you? You left me with that brat of a prince last night!" she snapped angrily as she thumped the dough for extra measure

"Who Michael?"

"Yes you know he has no manners or no style?"

"So you did it then?" I asked and she turned bright red. Aunt Amy came over and smacked me upside the head

"Max Phillip Deluca you give any reference of my daughter, sex and the Boy-Prince again and you'll wake up one morning… ZAP" I gulped in fear and then regained my smile as she moved away from me. Maria came over and dragged me out into the yard

"You slept with her didn't you?" she whispered and I smiled and nodded

"Max have you any idea what you've done? If she gets pregnant then you and that baby will be killed! That baby will not have a chance in a life it deserves!" she snapped

"Relax Maria. Nobody saw us doing the deed and if she was going to get pregnant then she would tell me first and I doubt it because I pulled our before I came"

"Oh kay" she held her hands up and put her hand down "STOP TALKING NOW. MY EARS ARE WEAK!"

"Sorry" I smiled.

"Look you have to go wait on the royals. They are expecting breakfast and you are serving the east section today, the Prince Nicholas takes his breakfast in his room"

"I'm waiting on Nicholas?"

"Yes why?"

"I cant Maria he saw me dancing with Liz he will know!"

"There's no way you can get out of it!" she gasps when she looks at the chart

"What am I going to do?"
"You just have to go and hope to hell that he's asleep!" I hurriedly grab his tray and make my way to his room. I politely knock and pray that he's asleep

"Come" he calls and I balance the tray on one hand as I open the door rush in quickly and put the tray down on the table then try and get out as quick as I can

"Wait!" he calls "I recognise you"

"No your highness why would some one as important as you recognise me? I'm just a servant" I kept my head down and thanked for the big heavy curtains that kept the light out from him identifying me. I turned to go but he stopped me again

"Wait! What is your name?"

"Max Deluca sire" I state as he switches on the lamp and the light casts a glow over me and he sees me properly. My heart broke the second the light went on and he saw me because I knew that it was over for me I was going to be killed and even worse I would never see Liz again

"You're a servant! You were dancing with the princess!" I bitterly admit defeat and nod "GUARDS! GUARDS!" they come bawling in and Nicholas points to me

"Arrest him! He posed as a royal!" the guards ran at me and put the cuffs on me and led me away down the hall to the main throne room where I was to be confronted in front of the king and queen. The doors opened and I saw Liz sitting in a little small chair off to the side and when she saw me she instantly stood up and started to cry.

"YOUR HIGHNESS!" boomed the head guard "THIS SERVANT WAS SEEN IMPOSING A PRINCE AND HAS BEEN WITH THE PRINCESS" her parents looked at her in disgust as if though she was something they had stepped in barefoot.

"Is that true?" asked the king and I nodded. They shoved me down onto my knees and he got up and backhanded Liz. I jumped as he did and I struggled to get up so I could attack him for hurting her!

"TAKE A NOTE!" he yelled and Michael appeared out of nowhere, he had been watching the whole time maybe he didn't have any manners? "ELIZABETH IS TO BE TAKEN TO ROYAL FINISHING SCHOOL WHEREAS MAX DELUCA IS THE BE SENTENCED TO DEATH" I squeezed my eyes shut and I heard Michael.

"Father" he whispered smally "Put him in the army, make he serve on the front lines so he can be useful and get killed there" I couldn't believe what he was saying!

"Are you trying to save his life? Did you know about this forbidden union?"

"Father I…"

"TAKE MY SON TOO! HE IS NOT IMPORTANT TO THE SURVIVAL OF THIS PLANET!" my heart broke for Michael too when I saw the look on his face as the guards seized him too. He looked like his world had been torn in half

"Take them away" Jeff shooed us away and we were dragged off away to the cells. I started crying for Liz because she loved me so much and her believing that I was dead would tear her in half, she would never be the same again. She might not even smile again? I sat in the dark while Michael sat on the cot and stared at me

"You slept with my sister didn't you?"
"Yeah I did. I loved her Michael and she loved me, I knew this would happen. I knew I should have left"

"You were going to leave her?"

"So she wouldn't be sent away. She is supposed to marry that Prince, I have no say in this"

"Are you kidding?" he snapped as he stood up then crawled under the cot and opened a little panel in the wall "You love her and she loves you more than anything. Since I came back all she would talk about is her mysterious lover, mother wanted to know who it was and I wasn't quite sure but when I saw you dancing with her I knew. I knew it was you. Now are you coming with me so we can get out of here and go kidnap my sister so we can run off and get you two hitched some time soon?"

"Michael" I blushed "We're only thirteen yeah I want to marry her but not this soon"

"Come on love boy let's get out of here" I went first and he crawled through after me and pulled the panel shut. We crawled along on our bellies till we reached the secret passage. I grabbed his arm because he didn't know which way to go and I lead him down the steps and out under the garden.

"Wait" he whispered and I stopped "I've never been outside the palace on my own before"

"You're not on your own I'm with you now stop dawdling!" I pulled him and we carried on walking till we reached the village. People were packed in the small market square so no one noticed us wander to a small house near the edge of the square.

"What kind of dump have you brought me to?" he asked as he looked round the house that could be best described as cosy

"Uh my house. We rent it and come back here at nights,"

"We as in Amy and Maria?" he whispered Maria and I knew she was wrong about him

"Yeah"

"Which um which room is hers?" I pointed to a large mattress on the floor

"No rooms Michael what you see is what you get" I grabbed some things and the key crystals to fuel the ship my parents had owned before they went missing.

"Come on let's go!" we headed to the port and I found my parents ship in a hangar. It wasn't anything spectacular it was just a small model of the Bada89 it looks like a crescent and we got in and I fastened the straps around me then paused

"You don't know how to fly this do you?" smirked Michael and I shook my head. We switched places and he started it up pressing certain buttons and then we were shutting up out of the hangar at full speed. I was glued to the back of my chair and Michael was crowing loudly before we levelled out. We opened the channel to see if we could receive the signal from Liz's ship but we had been flying for half an hour and still no sign.

"Wait" something started beeping and I looked at Michael

"What? What is it? Is it Liz?" I asked hopefully

"I'm reading rock ice and ion trails about a kilometre away from us"

"What does that mean?" I asked as my hope fell
"It means that here was a rock ice storm. Her ship must have got caught in asteroids; the only ones that close are the Leonids and they go off into uncharted territory"

"She's lost? Is she gone Michael just tell me?"

"She's lost. There is very little hope of finding her now. Liz…" it was all my fault.

[Dreamertilltheend]

Part 4:

Oh god, why is my head hurting like hell, it`s like I was hit by a taw truck. I hear all these voices around me but I don`t recognize them. I try and sit up but I find my self incapable, my left side seem heavier than my right, which isn`t suppose to be normal. I feel myself falling further and further into a state of unconsciousness.

************************************************************

Oh god I can`t breath, it feels like my lungs are gonna explode. Liz is gone, she crashed somewhere and now she`s gone. It`s all of my faults, if I would have stayed far away from her, this would have never happened.

Michael and I have been searching around the area where the ship might have crashed, but we found nothing. Now me and Mike are outlaws, running away from Jeff Parker and searching for the love of my life. I can`t believe this happened, she was suppose to have a great life, be safe. She was suppose to rule this entire galaxy but the fates were against her. Why did this happen to her???? She was a good person, helped people and was very loved. Now she would be somewhere dead or alone and frighten with no one there to console her.

Oh god what is my life gonna be like for now on without her. For as long as I can remember, I`ve always was dependable of her since we met. Since the first time I saw a glimpse of her I fell in love, and now that she`s gone it feels like a part of me has gone with her.

Michael is as bad as me, he blames himself for what happened to her, and he feels guilty that he couldn`t stop his father from shipping her off to Royal School. Both of us are very emotional, something that isn`t good when you are trying to stay in control.

We`re suppose to meet a couple Liz`s personal bodyguards, that only follow her rules and mine, to try and find her. All I`m hoping for is to find her, before either me or Michael have an emotional or a depression meltdown.

************************************************************

I feel somebody shaking me, not in a rough way, but in a very gentle way. The person is whispering in my ear to wake up. I open my eyes and I see a woman above me, she`s in her early forties, she`s got blonde hair, a very gentle and kind face and soft brown eyes. I try and sit up but I find my head spinning over and over.

"Go easy there, honey" The lady tells me, I look around and I find myself in room, it`s not much and drawer on one of the walls, a closet, another door, that I`m sure leads to the bathroom, a bookshelf and a night stand next of the bed that I`m lying on.

"Where am I?" I ask. I`m confused this place doesn`t look familiar at all.

"You`re at my house." I have this confuse look on my face and I`m sure she notice because she started to tell me how I got here. "My name is Diane Evans and it was my daughter and couple of her girls that found you lying on the desert floor, so they brought you back here. You had a couple scratches and I took care of that"

"Thank you" I tell her sincerely.

"So you wanna tell me why you were in the middle of nowhere, lying down on the desert floor" At this question I have a confused look on my face and a panicked and scared too.

I look up to her and tell her "I don`t know" I really don`t know.

****************************************************

It`s been five days and still no news of Liz`s ship, since then Antar as been a disaster. People are dying, some or losing hope of ever finding her, Kivar attacked Antar and the condition is not very good. And to make matters worse, Liz`s parents don`t even seem to care that she might be dead, all they want is a future queen to marry Nicholas, so they are doing everything to find her, just to give her off to that bastard. But is has been said that Nicholas isn`t even looking for her, but is having some quality fun with a fucking whore, named Tess Harding.

The other planets majesties and the Whirlpool Galaxy council have decided that the person who find the princess will get her hand in marriage. Her parents disapprove of this, they have been trying to tell them that the only person who will marry her is Nicholas, but the council doesn`t want to hear it, and for that I`m quiet happy. If me and Michael gets the chance to find her, I`ll be able to marry her, without worrying that I get killed.

We are not giving hope, we know that she`s still out there somewhere. The only problem is Where????

*********************************************************

It was the truth, I really didn`t know what I was doing lying on the desert floor, in the middle of nowhere. I don`t know how I got there, why I was there or any thing else in that matter. It`s like I don`t have a memory of anything, I`m lost, scared and frighten.

I feel a wave of dizziness take over me and I get up as fast as possible and I run to the bathroom. I start puking all of my guts out, something not very pleasant. I feel somebody take my hair back and rubbing my back. I look up and there`s this girl about me age, blonde, tall and very gorgeous. She gives me a wet cloth.

"Thankx" I tell her.

"Your welcome. By the way I`m Isabel Evans" She takes out her hand for me to shake it.

I smile at her and take her hand. "It`s nice to meet you"

"It was me a couple of my friends who found you lying on the desert floor. When we saw you we thought you where dead." She looks worried for me, and I don`t know why but it kinda makes me feel better. "So you gonna tell me who you are??" She asks me.

I open my mouth to tell her, when I shut it quietly. I feel tears falling on my cheeks, I`m scared and confused, I doesn`t seem able to remember my name, what`s wrong with me. I look up at her and I see a worried and concerned look on her face. Tears are falling on stop down on my cheeks,Diane enters the room and hugs me, and then Isabel joins her.

"I don`t know who I am, I don`t know my name" I say over and over. They held me in their arms until I calmed down and then they put me on the bed and I fell asleep.


Part 5

Isabel was looking at me with a big smile I sat up in bed and stared at her racking my brains at trying to remember who I was. I remembered faces and voices but they weren't coherent. Diane sat back and smiled at me

"Well you need a name. Do you remember what it was?" she was so calm and caring

"I… I…" I closed my eyes and listened to the voices blurred. Words and names drifted in and out and I said the first thing I heard clearly "Max"

"Max. That's an usually name for a girl" pouted Isabel "But I like it. Max it is"

"Diane!" I pulled the blanket up to my chin as a man came into the room. He was wearing a cloth suit of armour and he carried a box with a handle.

"Whose that?"

"This is Max. Isabel and her friends found her in the desert"

"Is she okay?"

"I think we should get her checked out by a doctor because she has a few cuts and bruises and she cant remember anything much so maybe she bumped her head?"

"Who is he?" I whispered and Isabel laughed

"It's okay Max that's my dad. Phillip Evans" I was still scared. I looked at them and felt an odd sense of uncomfortable ease. They were so kind it was hard to trust them. They could be acting, have you forgotten who the enemy was?

"Get some rest. Isabel will be sleeping across the hall from you. Shout if you need anything, I'll make you some soup and bring it to you later on when you're hungry ok?" I nodded and they all left me. Isabel was reluctant to go and she milled about the doorway. She came back in and sat on the edge of the bed

"Why were you in the desert? I'm dying to know!"

"I don't know. What do you do Isabel?"

"What do you mean?"

"What's you're job?"

"I work for my mother in her shop"

"You're parents own a shop?"

"No my dad has his own law firm and my mom runs a café"

"But women cant run shops" this seemed absurd to me.

"Why cant they?" I was stumped. I lay back down and she moved to lay next to me. "Do you think you're parents are trying to find you?"
"My parents…" I saw angry faces and bad memories and it hurt to think. I shut my mind off and tried to think of other things

"Max?"

"Yeah"

"Do you want to be my sister?"

"I've never had a sister before" I announced not really sure where the fact came from. It was so annoying that the facts were there but I couldn't get them.

"Me neither so will you be my sister? We can make such good friends and when you're better you can come work with me and my mom in the crash down" Crash down rang in my hearing and I saw a metallic room and men shouting ‘crash! We're going to crash!'

"There was a crash"

"Yeah in nineteen forty seven a ship crashed here and it was a big cover up. So will you be my sister?"

"Yes ok I will" she hugged me then left me alone. What did she mean by nineteen forty-seven? Was it a way to measure time here? Was I in that crash? I would have to find out what this time was today.

I slept a bit and woke up to find a tray of really weird tasting food by the side of the bed and I felt much better. I got up out of bed and went to find Isabel. She was asleep in the next room and I left her to sleep. I looked about and saw really good art pictures of her and her family and other kids mainly girls but there were two boys she was with. I wondered who they but didn't give much thought to it. Things were strange here; there was a large shiny box in the corner of the room and simple looking couches. I sat down and wondered what the box was; maybe it was like Phillips box with the handle. Maybe they kept things in it I got up and tried to open it but couldn't so I kicked it furiously I knocked a button and it came on really loud. People were trapped inside and they were stuck and there were guns and it was really loud.

"Don't worry! I'll get you out!" I tried to pry the box open but Phillip came out and pulled the fire poker off me and switched the box off

"Max! What do you think you're doing?"

"There were people trapped in that box. Are they dead now?"

"No Max it's not real it's just pretend" he looked confused and I looked behind him and saw Isabel staring at me with a puzzled expression. I went into the kitchen to avoid them and he put the poker down. I sat in a corner and cried, why couldn't I remember?

"Max honey are you okay?" I looked up at her

"Who am I? Why don't I know the simplest things?"

"I don't know sweetie. Come back to your bed and get some rest"

"But I'm not tired and I feel better I want to know what these things are"

"I'll stay up with her mom," said Isabel not taking her eyes off me.

"Are you sure? Well I still want her in her room"

"Sure mom, come on Max" I followed her back to my bedroom and she bounced onto my bed and smirked at me "You don't know how to use a TV! This is amazing!"

"What's amazing about it? Why don't I know what a TV is"

"I don't know but you thought people were trapped in there!" she laughed and I jumped onto the bed next to her

"It's not funny!" I was going to cry and she stopped laughing at me and hugged me

"I'm sorry Max. I didn't mean to make you upset" I pulled away from her and used my sleeve to wipe my tears "I was the first to see you try and get the people out of the telly. I heard you get up and I went into the hall and saw you jump when you turned the TV on. Something happened when you jumped"

"What?" she took my hand and held it up

"Your hands were glowing" I looked down at them like they were something really wrong.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. I wont tell anyone but are you an alien? Is that why you can't remember anything?"

"I don't know. What is an alien?"

"Someone not from earth. Is this earth?"

"Yes try and see if you can do something" she moved back and I focused hard on the sheets and they changed colour from white to red "Oh so amazing!"

"So does this mean I'm an alien?"

"Yeah! I can't do anything like that! I wont tell anyone I swear," I thought back to what Diane had about the doctors. Some reason I didn't want to go I was afraid that it would be dangerous

"Isabel I don't want to go to the doctor. Please make your mom see that I'm fine and don't need to be checked"

"I'll try" she promised, then yawned "But get some sleep you may be an alien but I need to sleep too" she climbed into my bed and fell asleep. I lay down next to her and fell asleep too.

I woke up in the middle of the day and found Isabel gone and a strange man staring at me. I jumped up and fell off the opposite side of the bed

"Who are you?"

"I'm doctor Harding. It seems that you are apparently very healthy and apart from a little bump on your fore head you should be fine… I'll tell Diane to bring you to my surgery in a few days time for a check up"

"Get out!" I screamed and threw a pillow at him. He left quickly and I pulled the blanket around me and stayed on the floor.

"Max? Max are you okay?"

"Where's Isabel?" I asked when I saw Diane standing by the door. She looked worried "She's at school, Max why? What's wrong?"

"I'm scared" she came over and got me to stand up

"It's okay. Look it's almost ten and I've missed my breakfast slot so do you want to come and help me down at the café?"

"Can I?"

"Yeah sure I'll get you one of Isabel's dresses and I can drive you down"

"Drive?"

"In the car. You know what a car is don't you?"

"Car? Drive?"

"Never mind you'll soon see" she disappeared and came back with a green dress with a funny shaped silver head on the shoulder. It was on a coat hanger and a hair band was around the neck.

"Here put this on and then we'll be off okay?" she handed it to me and I put it on the bed. I had what I wanted to wear so why wasn't I putting it on? I was waiting for someone

"What are you waiting for Max? Put it on so we can go" I looked round the room

"Something's missing. I think some one is supposed to come and help me put it on"

"There's no one else here. Here I'll give you a hand" she helped me take off the shirt and skirt and pulled the dress over my head and handed me some white old shoes "Boots aren't very good for working so wear these. They should be comfy enough" I put them on and almost went flying when I tried to walk.

"Why haven't you tied the laces?"

"I don't know how to Diane" she knelt down and fastened them for me. I followed her out to car and watched as how she got in. I pulled at one side of the door and finally got the door open.

***************************************************************************

"What's that?" I was half asleep and Michael was sleeping in the bunk next to me. Maria was running up and down like a headless chicken saying something about a really important noise and Liz. I got up and went into the cabin and saw that the computer had picked up the ion trails from Liz's ship

"MICHAEL!" I yelled and he came running out "It's here ship! It was in this galaxy the computer locked onto the trails!"

"You're kidding!" he looked out the screen "You mean she's on that dead end planet? Max you have to be kidding me their savages down there. Of all the people we sent down they attacked!"

"We don't know for sure if she's on that planet!" I prayed against all my beliefs that she wasn't. I sat down in the co pilot's seat and typed in a command and waited

"What did you do?" asked Maria after finally calming down enough "Is the Princess on that weird looking planet?"

"CORRECT DATA READS THAT PRINCESS ELIZABETH PARKER IS ON EARTH" said the computer

"What do we do know Max?"

"We rescue her. We rescue the girl I love" I took the handle controls and Michael sat in the pilot seat but Maria grabbed his ear

"Prince or no prince you are not sitting half naked in that seat when I have to take over!" she made him get dressed and she flopped herself in his seat. Maria had no core training what so ever and she took the main steering and pushed the ignition gear and we were zooming she effortlessly manoeuvred around the small rock planet and she haled the planet.

"What are you doing?"

"They have your beloved Princess and we wont her back we have to tell them"

"Maria were you always that dumb or did you just get kicked in the head?" I snapped, "If they're hostile they could kill her!"

"Then what?" she asked as she slowed down about two thousand miles from the ground zero

"We go down and find her"

"Us three?"

"You don't have to go if you don't want to. We can take the junior"

"No it's okay I'm her maid and I should be with her. I'll tell Michael and we'll take the entire ship down" I watched the screen and the star disappeared behind the planet Earth. I started the ignition and we headed down to the surface.

I tracked the ion trails and we found the ship in the middle of sand plain. It was crashed and we went to check it out, the air was breathable

"LIZ!" we yelled as we looked in and out of the ship and near it "LIZ!"

"Where is she?" whispered Michael. I put an arm over his shoulder

"Don't worry we'll find her"

"I was her twin I just wish I was a better brother to her"

"Well the only place she could be is the dwelling over there" stated Maria as she pointed to an expanse of light.

"Come on then but be on your guard they could be hostiles," said Michael going all-general on us. I guess royal school paid off. We made our way to the dwelling and walked through the quite odd built house part on the grey path and we came to a copse of shops and businesses.

"What is this place?" I looked round at all the alien heads they had practically everywhere "They have reptilian heads in that food stop over there called the CrashDown" I pulled out a little device and typed in where Liz Parker was and it appeared that she was only twenty feet from us. There was beeping coming from behind us and a hostile was yelling at us as he hung out of a moving vehicle

"GET OUT THE WAY YOU DUMB KIDS!" he roared and Michael almost blasted him

"Keep your cool Prince Michael not here. He was mean for us just standing on the road what will he do if he finds out we're not of this planet"

"What did the calculus say?" asked Maria in her home tongue I looked up at her
"It said that's she's twenty feet away from this direct spot" I replied

"Please people Antarian you know I can't understand you when you talk Phloxian"

"Your sister is twenty feet away from us right now" he opened his mouth and stared in wonder

"LIZ!" he began yelling "LIZ!" we all joined in and separated to search. I looked round and saw her in the window of the CrashDown. She was carrying a liquid container and pouring drinks and had a big smile on her face.

"MICHAEL! MARIA!" I called and they came over and I pointed in at her "It's Liz"

"Come on and stop drooling!" said Maria as she took my arm and pulled me to the door. She pushed it open and pulled me inside with Michael following. I went over to her and she smiled at me

"Hey my name's Max here seat down here" she ushered me down at a table and smiled "What can I get you?"

"Liz"

"I don't know anyone here called Liz but you can ask Diane. Do you want me to get her?"

"Liz it's me"

"You know me?" I nodded and took her hand she pulled away from me and called Diane

"Diane!" the lady behind the counter came over and she looked at me

"What's wrong Max?" she asked

"This guy says he knows me"

"Really? Come into the back with me" she pulled me up and pointed to a door in the back, I looked to Maria and Michael and waved for them to follow me. We went into the back and Liz sat down on a ratty old couch near lock containers.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Max Deluca," I stated

"How do you know Max?"

"Her name is Liz, short for Elizabeth" I informed her "I've been looking for her for a while because she's
my girlfriend"

"Oh who are these other people?"

"This is Maria my cousin and Liz's maid and Michael her twin brother" she sized Michael up then went
over to him

"You're my brother?"

"I thought we would never find you" he hugged her and she stiffened in his arms

"Max? What's wrong?" she knelt down and I saw a handprint on her stomach… Liz is pregnant?

[Dreamertilltheend]

Part 6:

I wake up, oh my god that was just a dream, a very bizarre and realistic dream. I start to lift my sweater to see if it really was a dream when I feel a wave of dizziness hit me. I stumble out of bed and hurry to the bathroom. I throw up everything in my stomach, which is more than I thought there was, I feel Isabel rubbing my back, I look up at her. "I remember" I tell her.

She looks happy and proud for me."My name is Liz, short for Elizabeth Parker and I have a twin brother."

"That is great, she tells me. I`m happy that you remember something. Do you know where you live???" I shake my head no. I see a shocked and frighten look pass through her face. "Liz" She says shakily, she`s pointing at my stomach.

I look down and there`s a soft glow that passes through my sweater. I lift my sweater a bit and I see a small, small, small silver baby hand print. "Oh my god, I`m really pregnant" I say, I don`t know if I have to be terrified or happy about this, but I`m very happy.

"Oh my god, you are pregnant. SHIT!!!!" Isabel screams. "But that`s not normal, that silver hand print is not normal at all." I start to think about my dream, of how Isabel called me in it.

"I`m an alien. Well I think" I say kinda confused. I don`t know anything, I don`t remember, but I know one think that wherever I am, the other women pregnancy is nothing like mine.

"You...you`re a what??? No you can`t be an....a....alien!!!! They don`t exist, it`s just something that people invented to trap the tourist." She`s babbling, just lie Maria. That was weird, where did that thought come from.

"Well if I`m not an alien what am I???" I asked confused and scared.

"You are a human been, a normal human been."

"Well do humans been do this?" I extend my hand and make a faint glow of light. I look up at her and her eyes are wide, but I can`t seem able to read her emotions.

"You...you...you really are an...an...an..alien" She finally gets out. So I was right I am an alien, well there`s another piece from my puzzle. A puzzle that seems endless and whit lots of pieces left to find and put together.

**********************************************************

I wake up gasping for air. What was that??? It wasn`t a dream cuz it looked to real to be, but it neither was a memory. What was that???

It was really strange, I can feel her relief when we found her, and shock when she looked down to her stomach and saw something glowing through her sweater. I could still feel her arms wrap around me when I found her, her love, the love I felt for me. Something that I never thought could be possible, but when I was with her everything is possible. I know I have a sappy smile on, but I don`t care, all I care is finding her and bringing her back to me.

I get up and I knew right away that something was different, something in me is different, it`s like there`s another presence living in me, or two maybe, it`s not quite clear.

All of a sudden my door burster open violently and Michael and Maria enters, I take a look at their faces and I know that something is wrong. There is no other way to describe it, the look on their faces already tells me that whatever they have to say isn`t go.

"Do you have any news on Liz??" I ask hopefully, but by the way sorrow and guilt pass quickly on their faces I know that`s whatever they found out is not good.

"Max..." Starts Maria but before she can say anything else she burst into tears, not a good sign. Not at all.

"Max..." Continues Michael "We...we...we learned that the ship crashed somewhere, a very violent crash..." He takes a deep breath and continues "...and there would have been a very slim chance that she survived, and it she did, she would have died not long after" He finishes, he in tears and he trying to comfort Maria.

I sit in the nearest place next of me which is the floor, I bring my knees to my chest and hug them. One, two, three tears fall downs my face and then more and more and more and more. Endless, my tears endless, they will never end cuz there`s no use for them to do. I lift up my had and look at the ceiling, I know that at the stage of denial now. And I break down.

"NO, NO, IT CAN`T BE" I yell standing up "SHE CAN`T BE DEAD, SHE CAN`T BE DEAD" I yell the loudest I have ever yelled. Maria lifts her head from Michael shoulder and looks at me, I can see sympathy and guilty reflecting in her eyes. "SHE NOT DEAD, DO YOU HEAR ME SHE`S NOT DEAD" I yell even louder than before, if that`s even possible. Tears are violently falling down my cheeks, soaking my sweater and arms.

Maria approaches me and tries to hug me but I pull back. I don`t need comfort. I don`t need anybody to love me. I don`t need anybody in my life. I don`t need friends. I don`t need a family. I don`t need love. I don`t need friendship. I don`t need dreams and hopes. I don`t need goals. I don`t need a future. I don`t need sympathy and pity. I don`t need words of consolation. I don`t need air to breath. I don`t need to live. Why would I, when everything that ever counted for me is not here anymore, is not and not coming back.

"It`s ok" I hear somebody whispering to me "You are not alone in this" But I don`t hear anything, I block everything out. I don`t need to pay attention, to listen, all I need is to be a broken shell, to die and rest in sorrow and loneliness.

Part 7

"I think I'm going to be sick!"

"Here" says Maria as she helps me over to the bucket and I wrench my guts up. She rubs my back soothingly "We'll find here Max. She can't be dead"

"She's not I feel she's not. It's just wrong," I say between praying to Ralph "She's alive. I wont give up finding her and if she is… then I wont stop until I know for sure and then I'll shed my tears"

"Then we'll go with you. You wont be alone Maxwell we'll help you find her. She is my sister after all and I would never give up and never give in till she's here with us," says Michael confidently. I manage to stand up and head to the control deck

"Max you're in no shape to fly"

"But I think I know where she is"
"Max there was a crashed ship on…"

"Earth. I know Maria I know where she is and if that's true then…"

"Then what? How do you know?" snapped Michael

"I had a dream and she was on Earth and…"

"And? And what?" he snapped

"Let's just find her ok we'll sort that out later" I powered the hyper engines and grabbed the steering wheel and pushed the thrusters to mark 5 and we headed to earth.

~***~

"So what does it feel like?"

"I don't know. I don't really know what it's like to be human" I replied

"You can obviously breathe in this air without difficulty. I thought aliens were supposed to be green?"

"Yeah so did I? Well after I saw the things in mom's restaurant"

"You know she isn't your real mom"

"Duh" she laughed. I had picked up a few little quirks from this language since I learn it. I had been here for a month and the Evans had already adopted me. They call me Liz; Isabel said to make my middle name Max so they did. Now I'm Liz Max Evans and I like the name. I've been thinking constantly about that dream and wondered who the boy was. I went to school with Isabel and met Alex and Kyle; at first I thought Kyle was the boy from my dreams. We've been seeing each other for the past week now but something just doesn't feel right about it. He's a good kisser, a little sloppy but still good.

"So can you remember your real parents?"

"To tell you the truth sis I can't"

"Are you upset about that?"

"For some reason I'm not no, I know I should feel something but I can't"

"How sad. You want to take a break?"

"Sure. I've been run off my feet constantly, Iz?"

"Yea huh?"

"I don't think we should talk about this anymore in case some one hears"

"Right" she winks at me "Gotcha!"

"Pick up!" says Jose and I hurry over and take the plates. I love working here; ever since I discovered the concept of money I have been eager to get more. I don't know what it is I just have to. Kyle is here again he's always here! I dump the plates down on the counter and hurry to the swing door

"Mom I'm taking a break!" I did it so I could go upstairs into the study room mom made the upper apartment into, there are two bedrooms and one of them is made into bedroom for sleep overs on late nights. I've stayed here a lot I love working in the café!

I should just break up with Kyle; I know there is nothing there, and I just wish he didn't look like the guy in my dreams because Kyle is nothing like the man of my dreams. Then there's the little problem with being pregnant. I don't know what to do! What if it comes out green and looking alien like Isabel said I should look like? What if it tries to kill the town? What if it can't breathe in this air like I can? I have so many questions! I peek through the diamond and look at Kyle talking to my mom.

"What are we looking at?" whispered Isabel and I jumped

"Oh nothing. Its just Kyle is out there"

"Yeah so. He's your boyfriend you should go talk to him"

"Yeah err I'm on my break. I don't know when I'll have another one the rush is coming up soon"

"Well I'll go tell him you're back here"

"Naah-ooo!" I cry and stop her

"Why not?"

"I err I ok fine you got me. I want to break up with him. I don't know if it's right"

"Awe Liz you'll break his heart, he really loves you"

"Yeah I know but I want to find the father"

"The father? Sister did you ever think the father was three feet tall and green?"

"If I look like this all the time then I want to choose someone who looks like me so I doubt he is three feet tall. If it is a he I don't know how things work up there, maybe that's who Maria is?"

"That's a odd name. Whose Maria?"

"I don't know. But you remind me of her for some reason"

"Weird" she crossed her eyes when she said it and I laughed. I peeked back through the diamond and saw three people outside. One of them caught my eyes. He turned and I just had the urge to run out to him right there right then!

"Liz? Where are you going?" cried Isabel as I just pushed the door open and ran through the café. Mom called to me and Kyle stepped in front of me but I dodged him and moved round the table

"MICHAEL!" I called "Michael!" I ran out and to the three people standing outside. I turned the guy around and saw him. It was Michael, my Michael!

"Elizabeth" he whispered

"Liz?" whispered mom

"Mom this is my brother. This is my brother Michael," I stated. Michael looked past me at Diane

"Mom?" some one came running up with a blonde girl.

"Did you find her?" I couldn't recognise the language but it was so familiar I knew what they were saying though

"Max" he turned and saw me there his mouth fell open…

~*~

I jerked out of my daydream. Damnit she had to be here! I could sense her! The dreams were so strong I was having them through waking hours for heavens sake!

"She's here," I whispered

"Where?"

"I don't know where exactly but she's definitely close. A few clicks away"

"Liz my little sister is so close. I have to find her come on" I followed Michael. I would follow him to the ends of Antar to find Liz and have her safe and back with me. I wasn't going to tell them about the baby. No not yet.

We wandered along and it was exactly like it was in my first dream two weeks ago. I knew exactly where to go and the others followed me quickly as they could.
~*~

"He is here"

"Huh?"

"What?"

"What did you just say?"

"I didn't say anything did I space out again?"

"Yeah you've been doing that a lot lately. Come on table six's order is cold" I had spaced out in the middle of the café with the plates in my hands. I hurried over and left the plates then went to get the next order from Jose. I turned round quickly and stepped down off the counter floor and saw three people staring at me in the window. I screamed and dropped the plates. I thought it wasn't real that he wasn't real. Yet there he was… he'd found me!

[Dreamertilltheend]

Part 8:

I don`t know if I`m hallucinating this time too, if it`s my imagination playing tricks on me again, but it seems real. Since I found out that I was pregnant, things have been happening, very strange things (well as strange as things can get when you are an alien). I`ve been have these strange dreams for about four months now, since the night I found that I was pregnant, I`ve been dreaming of this gorgeous man, who I have no doubt that it`s Max. I have hallucinations of him, to just about anywhere I go, I see him standing next to me, or him watching me, like he`s watching over me, like an angel. Once I even thought I saw a cloud shaped like him. I`m going crazy, that`s the only explanation, if he loved me he would have probably already found me, but I doubt it`ll ever happen.

I can still feel him staring at me with a great passion and love, I close my eyes to shake out of it, and I open them again, to find out that he was never standing outside the window. He was never there, it was another hallucination, it`s probably the pregnancy symptoms for aliens women when they are pregnant or I`m just going nuts.

I turn around to get back to work and I see Kyle standing right in front of me, blocking my path. Yes I know Kyle is my boyfriend, but he can really be suffocating sometimes and that`s why I think that I should break off this relationship before we get more serious and that I might hurt him.

"Kyle I have to talk to you" I tell him.

"So do I" He answers back, what could he possibly have to tell me. I won`t know till we talk.

"Ok, let`s go in the back room." I drag him to the employs room, where Isabel and I spend most of our time on breaks. I turn to Kyle "Ok what do you have to tell me??" I`m kinda curious to tell you the truth, I don`t know what to expect.

"Liz are relationship is not going that great" Wow maybe this won`t be so hard after all "When we began to go out together it was great, but since you started showing people started to think that I`m the father of the child." What is he getting too??? "That`s why I want you to get an abortion"

"WHAT!!!!" Ok that was definitely not what I was expecting.

"Hear me out Liz" I really don`t want to. "This baby that you are carrying is ruining my life, it`s ruining my image, and you know how important that is to me. We are really great together but the only problem is the baby, so if you want us to stay together, you better get rid of it."

I can`t believe that he would ask me something like that, what a jerk!!!! "Listen KYLE!!! Whatever to ask me or want me to do, I will never, BUT NEVER, EVER, KILL MY OWN CHILD!!!!!! SO GET THIS OVER YOU BIG FUCKING EGO, I WILL NEVER KILL MY CHILD BECAUSE IT RUINS YOUR IMAGE!!!! THIS CHILD IS MY ONLY CONNECTION FROM MY PAST THAT I CAN`T REMEMBER AND NOTHING WILL EVER TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME!!!! SO WE ARE THROUGH!!! GOOD-BYE YOU FUCKING JERK!!"

I can`t believe the nerve that he had to ask me that, I hope he burns in hell. Who would ever ask somebody to kill their child because of a fucking relationship. I enter the café and Isabel comes up running to me.

"Liz what`s wrong???" She sounds all worried and concerned for me.

"It`s, it`s, it`s Kyle" I say, I have to gain control of my emotions. "He...he...he..." Ok breath in, breath out, you can do this. Oh god I`ve gone crazy now. "...he wanted me...to...to have an...an...an abortion." There I said it. Oh god that was so hard.

"Oh god Liz, I`m so sorry." She comes running in my arms, trying and confront me. "What a bastard. I can`t believe he told you that."

I can`t believe that I dated a guy like that, what was I thinking. God couldn`t my life get anymore screwed up.

"No it`s only about to get better" A voice in back of me says. I know that voice, a voice that I haven`t heard in a long time. The only voice that could make all of my problem go away, the only voice that could make all my control go away. The only voice I thought I would never hear again.

"But you are, I`m here my love."

Part 9:

She's upset. I have to make things better for her, we've been here for four months and I dont know why I can't just go to her? Oh yeah we have to wait word from the king and queen. I want to go in and hold her and make her feel better. I am sick of watching over her and not being able to do anything.

"Maxwell where are you going?" asks Maria as I cave and walk into the cafe. We've learnt the ways of these people and we have been living out of a Jeep for the last four months. Michael was at the bakers when I walked in. Isabel, the girl she saw as her sister came over

"Hey welcome to the Crashdown. I'm Isabel what can I get you?"

"My princess Elizabeth Parker please"

"Liz?" she repeated and I nodded

"Who are you?"

"Tell her that her servant has come to sweep her off her feet" she turned on her heel and walked off.

Maria and Michael came in and tried to get me out of there but it was too late. Liz and Isabel came out and they spotted us. The other two just gave up and stared at her guiltily. Liz just stared at me then she closed her eyes then shook her head. I was still there when she opened them.

She slowly reached out and touched my hand. I moved my wrist and linked fingers with her.

"Liz" I whispered "I love you"

"It's really you" she replied as tears welled up in her eyes

"You better believe it" I smiled and she flung herself in my arms.

That night we were laying together upstairs from the cafe, in the spare room. I was rubbing my hand over her bump and I connected with my daughter for the first time.

"She's beautiful Liz. Just like you" I stated and she smiled

"I know why you came to get me" she began "It's so you can take me back home isnt it?"

"I came because I needed to know if you were safe. I'm here because I love you. Michael is here to bring you back"

"I can't go back Max. Not now, for the first time in my life I'm finally happy"

"It's this family you found isnt it?"

"Yes it is. Isabel and Diane love me more than anything and I love going to school and being treated like everyone else. I'm not a queen Max, Michael should rule. It's his title, I officaily abidcate. I'm not going back"

"Fine" I replied

"Fine?" she questioned

"I was a servant there. They made it so we could never be. If you want to stay here then I'm staying too. As your lover"

"As my husband if you want" she whispered

"What do you mean?"

"Everyday on the walk home from school there is a little chapel that does marriages. I'm almost seventeen and I want it you're eighteen Max please"

"You want to get married?"

"I want my child to be born with you as his legal father. Not a bastard"

"Right. But right now?"

"Why not? I'm princess and I'm still in charge in a way. So Max I order you to marry me right now!"

Michael and Maria walked in on the conversation and paused with their mouths wide open.

"Okay"

"You're getting married right now?"

"Why not? If I do then I am free and I dont have to marry anyone else"

"Liz have you thought about this?" asked Michael and she nodded.

"Very well. Let's get you to the church then"

"Just like that?"

"Maxwell is a cool pilot and I'd want him as a step brother. If it makes you happy then let's go right now"

We all climbed down the ladder and got into the jeep. We were driving into our future and Liz would be by my side...
