I wake to sunlight streaming through the windows. Looks like we’ve survived ‘till dawn after all and there’s another day of challenges ahead of us. I tighten my arms around Liz and plant a kiss in her soft hair. “Good morning, beautiful,” I tell her. She mumbles lightly in her sleep but doesn’t immediately rouse.
I get up and head for the shower. As the warm, thick water flows over me, I send out tendrils of thought towards the children. Not actually saying anything in case they’re still asleep, just feeling for their presence. I’m a bit surprised to find that both of them seem to be awake. I can’t pick up on their feelings like I know I would if it were Liz, but I take that to be a good thing. If they were in danger, I’m sure their fear would be readily apparent.
When I’m done, I clean the outfit I wore yesterday and put it back on, leaving off the overtunic for now. It seems best that I wear Antarian garb, now that they know who I am. I do make a few adjustments. I make the fabric a bit lighter in weight, and adjust the color slightly. It’s a little brighter and a bit less formal, although it’s not by any means a casual look.
Turning back towards the bed, I see that Liz’s eyes are open, although she doesn’t appear to have moved. Her smile is soft and sated and it makes me warm inside just to see it. “See something you like?” I ask, teasing her.
I move closer to the bed, sitting on the edge and leaning close to kiss her sweet lips. Pulling back, I tell her. “I saw Isabel last night and told her what was going on. She promised to call your parents and Kyle. I told her I was going to try to get Justin sent home today, even if we don’t leave ourselves yet.”

I wake up and the room is empty. For a minute, I worry that Alexander never came back like he promised, but it does look like his bed was slept in. Is he in the bathroom?
I move over to the bathroom door but I don't hear anyone there. "Xan? Are you in there?" I call, knocking. The door swings open since it wasn't completely shut and I see he's not in there. "XAN!" I shout. Where the heck did everyone go?
I"m about to go out and look for them, but I think I want to get dressed first. I quickly use the bathroom and grab my clothes from Earth. At least I know how they work and it does seem like somebody washed them while we were at the party. I push open the door to the bedroom and peer down the corridor. At first I don't see anyone, but then I notice someone who's watching the hallway like a security guard at the mall. I didn't remember that yesterday...
Yesterday, we all had breakfast with Mr. and Mrs. Evans. Weird stuff, but breakfast. Did they do that again and not tell me?
"Yo. Xan? Sarah? Anybody out here?" I ask as I step into the hallway.

~Skyler~
I pace down the hallway towards Xadalyn’s room, it’s a routine that I have become accustomed to. Every morning at seven am the same wake up call. I practically have to drag her out of bed and push her out the door for our morning workout. She’s not the easiest person to deal with in the mornings.
Most of the time the passion in her fighting comes from her anger at me for waking her up so early. But it has to be done, a Queen must always be able to defend herself, if I’m not there to do it. I give my usual warning knock before pushing the door open to reveal what? Daimeon, half naked beside Xada’s bed.
I look shocked from Daimeon to the naked, half asleep form of Xada who is lying on the bed. Before my brain has time to tell my body to stop. I’ve already slammed the spoiled little Prince into the ground and proceed to pound my fists into Daimeon’s pretty boy face.
I can feel the anger rising in me and the source is unknown. Daimeon tries to defend himself by trying to block my punches but I flip him over taking his arm behind his back and I use my free hand to press his face hard into the floor. I vaguely hear the frantic screams of Xada in the background, ordering me to stop but to angry to pay attention.
“This is just a warning of what’s to come if I ever catch you with her again. This isn’t Taltos and your father can’t save you here.” I say threateningly to Daimeon before shoving him hard once more into the ground before getting off of him.
I stand to my feet and glance at the now robed Xada who is currently glaring at me. My turn to warn Daimeon one more time when he sucker punches me in the side of the jaw. I feel the blood trickle down my lip and reach up to wipe it away before starting towards Daimeon for one more round. I am stopped by a gentle hand on my arm.
“My personal life is of no concern to you, Skyler.” She says her eyes filled with confusion and a hint of anger. I jerk my arm out of her grasp and I take one last look at the damage I have done before stalking towards the door. Without even looking back I mumble words of disgust and pain. “It’s not even worth it.” Before slamming the door on them.

~Liz~
I'm nineteen, standing with a crying baby in my arms, another two lying in their cribs to my left, and I feel so completely out of my depth...
As a second baby begins to cry, my mother, who's standing at the side, leans over, picking her up. "I think she wants mommy..."
Struggling enough with the one, I look back at her, my eyes wide with alarm as she tries to hand her over.
Mom looks back at me, shaking her head as she decides instead to see to the second herself. "You didn't think this was going to be easy did you...?"
I swallow and shake my head, my gaze drifting from the baby in my arms, to the one in hers, and then finally to the third who's still sleeping soundly for the moment.
"N-no...just I don't know what to do..." I admit softly. I'm not prepared for this... Xan was one thing, but this is another... They put a whole new spin on everything, a whole new sense of responsibility.... I look over at her, chewing my lower lip nervously. "What if I can't do it...what if I can't be what they needs me to be...?"
"You can...we can do it...together..."
I turn around, finding Max stood in the doorway behind me. As the third baby chooses this time to start to cry, he walks over, picking her up carefully and quickly quietening her cries before laying her back down and reaching to take the second from my mom. He rocks her back and forth, looking straight into my eyes and sending such a feeling of love through our connection. "Remember Liz, together, we can do anything..."
***
"Good morning, beautiful..."
Max's voice breaks into my dreams, and the babies, mom and dream-Max all dissappear in front of me. "Hmmm..." I moan softly, feeling the mattress rise as he gets up.
I lie there a few more minutes, hearing the shower running in the adjoining bathroom, before opening my eyes slowly, squinting to allow my eyes some time to get used to the light. It's softer than it would be at home...
Max comes back out of the bathroom shortly, but I continue just lying there, unable to keep myself from watching as he proceeds to get ready... I note that he's putting on his clothes from last night, rather than those from earth, but I can't help thinking that it suits him anyway...
"See something you like...?"
My husband's voice is soft has a teasing tone as he moves back over ot the bed, sitting down on the side and leaning over to kiss me gently on the lips. I smile, pressing back againt his lips for a moment before pulling away. "Always..." I respond, playing along for a moment.
"I saw Isabel last night, and told her what was going on. She promised to call your parents and Kyle. I told her I was going to try and get Justin sent home today, even if we don't leave ourselves yet..."
Max's words remind me again, not that I needed it, of the situation, and I nod as I push myself into a sitting position with my elbox, holding the sheets up over my breast as I face him. "That's good, I'm sure he's missing his dad, and I know that Kyle will have been worrying about him..." I comment as I swing my legs over the side of the bed, using the sheet a little like a towel as I hold it closed behind my back and turn so that I'm sitting more properly now. Hesitating a moment, I don't say anything more at first, wanting to let it lie silent but I know it has to be asked, even if I think I already know the answer is uncertain as yet. "What do you think is going to happen now Max...I mean how long are we likely to be staying here...?"

I have almost fallen back asleep when I hear a brief knock at the door. At first I don’t even think anything of it. It’s just Skyler coming to make sure I’m up, besides I used my powers to seal the door last night. Wait, did I seal it back after my fight with Nicolas? The answer to my question comes right after when suddenly Skyler is on top of Daimeon, beating his face into a bloody mess.
“Stop it!” I scream getting up and quickly grabbing and putting on my robe. “Skyler you’re going to kill him!!!!!”
Skyler grabs Daimeon and flips him over on his chest before telling him. “This is just a warning of what’s to come if I ever catch you with her again. This isn’t Taltos and your father can’t save you here.”
Skyler gets up and walks away and just when I think its over Daimeon, being the idiot that he is punches Skyler in the face. Skyler simply wipes the blood away before starting towards Daimeon once more. Knowing where this is going I gently but firmly take Skyler’s arm before this situation repeats itself.
“My personal life is of no concern to you, Skyler.” I tell him, not really understanding what the real problem is. Yes Daimeon is betrothed but no one knows about us, except now Skyler of course. I just don’t understand why he is so angry.
“It’s not even worth it.” Skyler says before slamming the door. And I don’t really understand what is it I am feeling right now but I’m pretty sure its guilt. But I have nothing to feel guilty for, and why does his words make me feel so… sad.
“Basterd.” Daimeon mumbles to himself. “Not even the healers will be able to do anything for my face. What am I going to tell father when he sees this?” he asks looking at himself in the mirror. And for a moment I ignore him while I am trying to get my thoughts in order.
But now I just feel angry and I think its more at myself. “Get out.” I say trying to get my temper under control. “Just leave.”
Daimeon looks at me like he thinks I’ve lost my mind. “You cannot possible think this is my fault!!!” he screams. “You should fire that brute and hire someone who knows their place!!!!”
“And you shouldn’t try to tell me what to do with my people!!!!” I scream my voice rising to match his, along with my anger. “OUT!!!”
He finally stalks out of the room almost in the same fashion as Skyler did moments before and when he is out the door I throw his shirt at him. He turns to me one last time and it’s as something dawns on him. “You’re in love with him!?!?!”
I don’t answer him I just slam the door in his face. Now he’s the one talking crazy.

Skyler-
My pace quickens the further I get down the hallway. What had I done...what was wrong with me. I ball my hands into a fist. The anger that is running through me is like an explosion in my body.
Pushing the door open to the training room my hands now begin to shake. I slam my shaking fist into the punching bag that dangles from the ceiling. Looking down at my now bloody knuckles I head over to the sink scrubbing the blood from my hands. Scrubbing away confusion.
Why was I so angry....he didn't hurt her. My job is to protect her that's it no sappy stuff. Simple beat, kill, destroy anyone who tries to hurt her. Obviously that pretty boy wasn't hurting her...or not in that way. But why then did I step in.
I almost feel hurt, betrayal. Yeah that's it. I am just upset that she didn't have the decency to tell me. For all I know could have been the enemy. She didn't even lock the door.
That must be it. I was just upset that dog boy and the queen weren't more careful. He got what was coming to him.

"I'm sorry, I didn’t want to wake you," my sister apologised. After a moment or two, she went on, "You know Xan you don't have to protect me anymore, you don't have to take care of me, I think time to start taking care of myself. And beside, I have to figure out what’s my place now. I don't hate anyone, or even Xada, I just need to find where I belong, you know as a second daughter."
I sighed, feeling even more frustrated that she was acting this way. Didn't she see? Couldn't she understand?
"I'm sorry again for worrying you."
Groaning, I turned to face her and held her face between my hands. "You don't get it," I said sadly, gazing into her stubborn eyes. "You don't understand that it doesn't work that way. For as long as I live, I'm going to protect you- not because I have to, but because you're my sister and I want to."
"Nothing's changed between you and Dad, between you and me," I reminded her. "Xadalyn's an addition to the family, not a replacement."
I didn't take my eyes away. I wanted her to see, and to get it into her head that things weren't the way she kept making them seem. "We're all in this together. I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you, little sister," I choked. "A million and one terrible images were flashing through my mind when I saw that you were missing. Don't do that to me again, please."
At that moment, I heard a voice echoing in the hallway. I stood up and nodded towards the door. "Justin. Come on, let's go get him."

"You don't understand that it doesn't work that way. For as long as I live, I'm going to protect you- not because I have to, but because you're my sister and I want to." as Xan grabs my head.
"Nothing's changed between you and Dad, between you and me, "Xadalyn's an addition to the family, not a replacement." He tells me, why don't anyone understand me. I know Xada is not a replacement, just another family member. I just need to find my place.Maybe I should just keep my thoughts to myself for now on.
"We're all in this together. I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you, little sister, "A million and one terrible images were flashing through my mind when I saw that you were missing. Don't do that to me again, please." he said choking on his words.
"I'm sorry, I wont do that again." I told him giving him a hug to resure him nothing will happened to me, well not when he's around."I'm nothing going happen Xan."

Sarah apologised once more and hugged me, but for some reason I didn't think she understood at all. And that just made me feel worse. I didn't want to baby her, but I didn't want anything to happen to her either. We were far, far away from home- things were different here. Something about being here made me feel like I had a lot weighing down on my shoulders. It made me feel old.
I nodded, seeing that I was fighting a losing battle trying to talk sense into her. I hurried out into the hall to see Justin standing there, looking a little lost.
"Morning, Justin," I greeted him, placing a hand on his shoulder. The poor kid was so confused, and I wished he didn't have to be here and get all caught in the middle of this mess. "Sorry about leaving you alone in there. I had something to attend to."
I led him to Sarah's room and asked him to stay with my sister until I was done cleaning up. That done, I went back to my room and took a refreshing shower before changing into clean clothes, the clothes I'd come in. I could've sworn they were stinky yesterday.
My hair dripping, I sat on the bed for a while, thinking, wondering what was going to happen today, what surprises lay in store, and if I could be surprised by anything more at all.

I'm about to knock on Mr. and Mrs. Evans door when suddenly Alexander comes out of Sarah's room. He's still dressed in the weird clothes from last night but they look all wrinkled and crunched, like he slept in them. He takes me back to Sarah's room where I see she's dressed in Earth clothes, like me, but I don't think those are the things she was wearing yesterday. I wonder where she got them. She looks really great.
"Hey, Sarah," I tell her, taking a seat. "Any idea how we can get breakfast around here?"

He takes me back to Sarah's room where I see she's dressed in Earth clothes, like me, but I don't think those are the things she was wearing yesterday. I wonder where she got them. She looks really great.
"Hey, Sarah," I tell her, taking a seat. "Any idea how we can get breakfast around here?"
