Ava
Jayden looks from Zander to Max to me as if trying to decide what to do when I just finally say, "No, Max that's fine. We should be going anyway. I scheduled a photo shoot in the desert this morning and we shouldn't be late."
I say standing up and I don't even look at Zan right now, because I don't want to say something I will later regret. "Ava?" Zan questions but I cut him off before he can say anymore.
"Not now Zander."I say and he visibly flinches when I say his full name and for a moment I feel a little bad but then I remember what he just got called out on and don't say anything.
"We should probally stop back by the Motel first and pick up the guys. Would you guys want to come with us?" I ask to be polite. Maybe Max would want to spend time with Zan and Jayden.

Ava seems to calm herself but I can guess at the rage that's hiding under that demeanor. I'd be pretty upset if that were directed at me.
"Yeah, I think we will go with you," I say. I take a look at Zander. It's hard to believe that anyone could be so hedonistic and self-centered. That he would do something like that, seeking his own sexual pleasure without any regard to how it would affect someone so close to him. Even if he didn't know that Ava was his mother's duplicate, she was the one who was most like family to him recently.
And this person is my son?
"I'll need to go get Natalie, too. I don't want to leave her alone here when there's a killer targeting all of us," I add. Then, suddenly I'm horrified that I mentioned that in front of the child. She's seen one person die already. I don't want her to make her more scared. Maybe she won't have noticed...
"Be right back," I say. I quickly head upstairs and knock on Natalie's bedroom door. "Natalie! Are you awake? Zan's ready to go. I want you to come with us."
*Nathaniel*
I'm not sure what to make of all this but I'm glad that we're all heading out together. Watching an Alienation photoshoot is bound to be fun. Of course, Dad has to go and ruin it all by mentioning the killer that 'Duke' talked about. Can't this just be fun for a little while?
Still, I take advantage of the fact that Dad is gone and Ava and Zan are distracted. I put one hand on Dominque's back, rubbing gently for a moment. "Let me see if I can help," I say softly, so only she can hear. I us my healing power, pushing out energy, trying to erase Dominque's pain and eliminate the chemical poisons in her system. I watch Ava and Zan as I'm doing it, trying to concentrate on them even as I feel myself connecting with Dominique.
When the flashes start to come, I lose sight of the others. I only let it go on for a short while, not wanting to be noticed. If it worked, Dominque should have at least some relief.
"How are you feeling?" I ask quietly.

OOC- So do we just pretend Drake was never there? I was just wondering if I should do another post of Michael waking up?
~Dominique~
I feel Nate’s hand on my lower back, which is exposed from my shirt bunching during my argument with Zanny. I lean in to the hand taking comfort in the touch.
"Let me see if I can help," Nate whispers to me and I wait to see what he has in mind. I feel the energy immediately. It seems to warm my soul but most importantly my head ache is instantly gone. Just as suddenly as the warmth seems to cover my entire being, images start to flash through my mind. The images do not belong to me and as soon as I began to become comfortable with them they are gone.
"How are you feeling?" Nate asks me.
“Better now. Thank you.” I reply
~Natalie~
I’m in complete and utter happiness that comes from a deep sleep after a long day. My body temperature is perfect. My body position is unbelievably comfortable and my dreams are blissful and light. Then it happens.
"Natalie! Are you awake? Zan's ready to go. I want you to come with us." I hear my dad’s voice shouting at me. I growl at him. As I open one eye to the conscious world. Damn him. I stretch and yawn. Then I register what he has said.
WE are going with Zan some where. “Be down in a sec dad.” I say as I rush for the shower. I jump in quickly and wash the remains of sleep from my system. I quickly dress in my favorite T-shirt and jean skirt. I glance at my mirror as I brush my teeth and realize my shirt has a large image of Zander Gray on it. I decide that may be a little embarrassing and change into a dark tank top.
I quickly scurry down stairs fifteen minutes later.

Natalie says 'in a sec.' Usually that means at least half an hour. Sometimes even a full hour. I'm hoping that she'll be a little faster than usual since "Alienation" is here. I'm really glad that she knows he's her brother now. After what I just heard about his sexual morals, it's a good thing she won't be thinking of any sort of romance anymore.
"Please hurry, honey," I tell her, and then start for the stairs. I pause to take out my cell phone and call Michael's house again. Or at least, that's what I start to do. I stop myself and instead dial his work cell phone as I walk down the stair. I hope he's carrying it. It is a work day but I'm guessing he's not showing up there today any more than I or my kids are going to the school.
*Nathaniel*
“Better now. Thank you,” Dominque says.
I try to hide my smile. It actually worked! Her voice is so soft and inviting, I feel like I'm falling in. I can feel the amazingly soft texture of the skin oh her back. I want to touch it and stroke it but I feel suddenly self-concious. I pull back reluctantly.
"You're welcome," I tell her, still keeping my voice low.

Zander
Max heads back down the stairs on his cell phone and a few moments later is followed by Natalie. Ava doesn't say anything to me the entire time they are gone so I just lean against the counter and try and act like her silence doesn't bother me.
When I feal a tug on my shirt I look down to see Jayden watching me intensly. "Don't feel bad Daddy, It will be okay."
I try and give her a smile to show that nothings wrong but of course she doesn't buy it and reaches up for me so I bend down and pick her up and balance her on my hip. She's small for her age and many people always guess that she is two until she opens her mouth.
"We ready?" I ask to finally break the silence.
"Yeah, we should take two cars and we need to stop at the motel first." Ava finally says as we head for our cars.

Michael doesn't answer again so I leave another message telling him that we're on our way to the motel and from there we'll be heading out to the desert with the band. I'm starting to be a bit worried about the fact that I can't get Michael on the phone. I hope he's okay. We hadn't talked about the kids. I've kept mine out of school but I don't know if Anya and Micah are there or not. I haven't seen Dad and Elena, either.
I end my message by asking Michael to PLEASE call me on my cell and then I look around the room. Surprisingly, Natalie seems to be ready. I guess she can work fast when she's properly motivated.
As everyone's ready, we head out for the cars. I'm halfway across the lawn when a taxi pulls up to the curb.
"Hey, Thanks," Anya says, getting out of the cab. She hands the man some money and then turns to the group of us, beaming. "Hi everyone! How's it going?" She says brightly.
*Nathaniel*
Ava leads everyone outside as Dad and Natalie join us. I stick close to Dominque. Ava suggests two cars, which makes sense. I lean close to Dominque. "You wanna ride with me?" I ask her. Yeah, my dad and probably Natalie will be there too, but I'd like to be with Dom. Maybe I should have asked about riding in Ava's car.
*Micah*
I wander back to the Evans' house in the morning. My night was comfortable and pleasureable in its own way, but I can't seem to get Zander Grey out of my mind. I stand out here for almost half an hour, leaning against the fence, half hidden by the neighbor's hedge as I'm trying to decide if I should go inside or not.
Suddenly, everyone starts coming out. My eyes travel immediately to Zan. He's holding a tiny little girl. That must be his daughter. He's a dad. I'm not sure how that makes me feel. I know he's bi. He's still so beautiful. I want to touch him. His face, his hair, his skin...
I bite my lip and sink a bit further back, just watching, as a taxi arrives with Anya. Now what?

~Michael~
It doesn’t take me long to figure out Drake must have hit the road a long time ago. I sigh in defeat as I head back to my truck. I down my coffee and donut as I ride down the road. I reach for my phone, soon realizing I must have left it at home, I do a U-turn and head toward my house.
I walk in and grab it off the charger. Turning it on, it beeps signaling a voice mail. I dial the number and listen as Max explains that they are heading towards the motel and than the desert. I drive to the motel and wait for them to arrive.
~Natalie~
I bounce out the door floating on air. It’s not every day that you get to skip school and hang out with the Alienation. I start thinking of all the people I can tell when I get back to school. I grin to when I think about their expressions. I over hear Nate ask Dominique if she wants to ride with us.
I wonder why he even bothers. Why would she be interested in him? He may be able to get any girl in Rowell but Dominique isn’t from Roswell and besides she’s too cool for him. I wait for her to laugh in his face at the suggestion.
~Dominique~
I follow the group out the door. This isn’t good. My Mum never can stay mad at Zan. I sigh with relief when Nate asks, "You wanna ride with me?" I think about it. I could ride in the car with the awkward silence or with Nate.
“I’ll ride with you.” I say with a smile. Although I feel as if I am leaving Zanny to is ultimate doom. At least Jayden is there to ease the whole situation.

Zan
Another girl joins the group and I vaguely remember meeting her yesterday at the café. Nate asks Dom if she wants to ride with him and I am about to make a smart ass comment about her wanting to ride him, when Dominique agrees I just end up rolling my eyes instead.
I turn my attention back to the new girl that joined the group. Anya I think her name was. She’s cute and she reminds me of Micah, oh yes, she’s his sister. I wonder where he took off too or if I will even see him again.
“Fine then, if Dom’s riding with you guys then maybe Anya can ride with us?” I end up asking. Maybe I can get the low down on her brother.

Dominique with us and Anya with Zan? I guess that means he’s not riding with me. I was expecting that but I’m not sure how I feel, especially after that conversation in the kitchen. Why is it that his drug use bothers me less than this blatant sexual behavior? Maybe because he doesn’t seem to care about how his sex-life affects other people. He hurt Dominque and Ava – the closest family he’s had since he started the band. I don’t want to judge him, but I wonder if Ava would be so quick to call Zan a ‘good kid’ now. I know he’s been damaged in so many ways but, at some point everyone has to take responsibility for themself. I wonder if Zan can do that.
“All right. Let’s get moving,” I say, opening the car doors. I presume that Nathaniel, Natalie and Dominique will be riding with me.
*Anya*
“Sure, that sounds great,” I say as Zander Grey actually asks me to ride with him to the photo shoot. He remembered my name! My insides are turning into jelly at the thought of sitting near him. He is so hot! Please let him sit in the back next to me. I move a little closer to Zan, noticing again the little girl riding on his hip. She’s cute, but not nearly as cute as Zan. “She’s beautiful,” I say.
*Micah*
They’re all leaving. Where are they going? Should I follow them? Zan’s invited Anya to ride with him? I feel a flare of jealousy. He was sitting next to me yesterday. It felt good – although I also remember how he suddenly moved away. I wish I could talk to him and find out what’s going on. He’s got the baby and … and Anya. I could wait and follow and –
Disobeying my own thoughts, I step forward, adopting a casual smile that’s just for Zan. “Someone could ride with me, if you need room. I have my car.” I say. They could probably squeeze into two cars, but three would be better, right?
