PROLOGUE

My names Liz Parker and over the last 6 weeks my life has changed. A lot.
First of all it started with Max going to L.A. to find the last known shape-shifter on earth and him not returning. The worst part was the fact that he couldn’t even tell me himself. No, he phoned Michael and got him to tell everyone that he had left all of us behind to go to Antar to find Tess and his son. Isabel had broken down and almost ruined her relationship with Jesse because of it. Maria wasn’t all that effected, she was just angry, really angry. Michael was hurt but also angry that his brother had left us to clean up his mess again. Kyle had threatened to hurt his alien friend if he ever set foot on this planet again. I was hurt, but not as much as I thought I would be, yes I loved Max but as a brother and a friend more that a lover. Plus I had been thinking of breaking up with Max ever since I risked myself by participating in the ‘robbery’.
A few days after Max left Isabel and Michael decided to tell Mr and Mrs Evans the truth. So, that night me and Iz sat them down and told them everything about the hatching, their powers, the shooting, the white room, Tess and the baby. They were shocked, but they were thrilled that Isabel had finally told them the truth and had immediately pulled their daughter into a hug. They had stood like that for a few minutes before it had grown awkward for me and I decided to leave, but before I could get even a few steps away Mrs Evans had grabbed my arm and pulled me into the embrace with her daughter and husband.
When we’d pulled apart, I decided there and then that I was going to share my secrets too. I told Isabel to call everyone up because I had something to share. I’d also told Mr and Mrs Evans, Phillip and Diane, that they could stay during my confessional.
Half an hour later the whole gang including Jim and its new members Phillip and Diane were all packed into the Evans’ living room. I told them everything about Future Max. From the moment he arrived to the moment he left. By the end of it Diane and Isabel were nearly in tears and both Michael and Iz stood forward and apologised for the way they had acted towards me, I of course accepted them. After that I’d told them that I had another thing to tell, at that Maria and Jim’s heads had popped up silently asking me if I was going to do what they thought I was going to do. They were the only ones apart from my parents who knew.
Over the next hour I explained to them that I was created by a government project called Manticore and that instead of being conceived like a normal pregnancy I was placed into my birth mothers stomach after my embryo was made by a bunch of scientists, and that Manticores main goal was to create the perfect soldier. I also said that Manticore mixed together animal DNA with human DNA. I told them that before we could walk me and my brothers and sisters had had it drilled into our heads that we weren’t people, that we weren’t to have thoughts or feelings and that all that we were good for was being a soldier and killing. I explained that in Manticore I had played the part of the good little soldier and I had killed people. I told them that I was an X5, X meaning transgenic and the 5 for the fact that I was part of the fifth generation and that because of our animal DNA we had abilities e.g. heightened senses, night vision, great reflexes, faster, stronger, greater brain capacity and able to jump higher. The training, the punishments, the seizures, Jack and Eva dying, getting found by Jim on the side of the road, getting adopted by the Parkers, telling Maria and my parents about me were all other things that I told them about within the hour. To finish it off I’d turned around, pushed my hair to one side and flipped down the back of my collar, showing them the barcode on the back on my neck.
To my surprise no one was angry that I’d kept something so big a secret for so long, but they were shocked that the government would do such a thing and that I’d gone through so much within the first 6 years of my life. They asked questions about my brothers and sisters like; what are their names? What are they like? Where are they now? I answered as best I could, I told them their names, but the only sibling I could tell them about was Zack, since my eldest brother was the only escapee I had contact with.
That night I told my parents all about the aliens and told them that I had revealed my secret to my friends. They understood why I kept the aliens a secret and why I’d told them mine. Again I was proud to call the Parkers my parents, even if I was adopted.
The next few days were a riot as Isabel went into ‘Nazi’ mode with planning her wedding. I tried to calm her down since she was maid of honour, but no luck.
Two weeks and three days after Max left Isabel Evans married Jesse Ramirez. Their whole day was amazing and Iz looked gorgeous in the dress we had picked when we went shopping.
Whilst I’d danced with Michael, who was begrudgingly best man, I thought that my life was finally settling back down.
But when I’d gotten back to my room that night, after the reception and seeing Iz and Jesse off on their honeymoon, I found by big brother Zack sitting on my bed looking at the 9mm I keep under my pillow. When I’d asked what he was doing there he told me that Ben, the sibling I was closest to in Manticore, had been kidnapping people, tattooing his barcode on them, killing them, positioning them, and pulling out their teeth. I was shocked at this but the next words out of his mouth shocked me even more; Zack thought that I was the only one that could stop him and that I had to do so. I didn’t even have to think before the words ‘where do I go’ had popped out of my mouth. Zack told me that Ben’s latest victim had been an 18 year old student from Ipswich Massachusetts. I’d smirked at that, I was going from a small town in hot New Mexico to a small town in rainy MA. Great!!
The next four weeks flew by, Iz and Jesse returned from their honeymoon, Isabel told us she had told him everything but he was ok about it, I told everyone I was leaving, I applied and got accepted to Spencer Academy, I’d packed and Maria and Isabel had given me a makeover using Iz’s powers. We changed my hair so that it was just at my armpits, layered it, gave me side-swept bangs and Isabel used her power to put blonde into my bangs. She then used her powers to pierce my ears –lobe up- 3 more times, my tragus on my right ear and my belly were also pierced. She again used her powers to give me a few tattoos; a set of rosary beads on my left wrist, a large guitar on my right side going over my ribs onto my hip with Alex’s name on it and two very large fire and ice roses on my back one is fully bloomed with a few petals falling off (for Grandma Claudia) and one is just starting to bloom (for me), the rose heads are on my shoulder blades and their entwined stems go down my spine stopping just above the crack of my butt. I I’m extremely pleased with my make-over but when Isabel took me shopping my look was complete.
The night before I left the whole gang went out to dinner. Each couple had bought me a present; my parents bought me a black leather jacket with a red and white stripe down each arm, Kyle and Jim bought me a big set of my beloved candles, Isabel and Jesse bought me 2 pairs of Victoria’s secret pajamas but neatly hidden under them was a few pairs of sexy underwear sets, Phillip and Diane bought me a charm bracelet that had a charm for each member of the gang and Maria and Michael gave me a picture from Iz and Jesse’s wedding, it’s of all of us, but it was bigger and was in a lovely silver frame. After opening all of these gifts I thought I had gotten all of my presents but I was blown away when I found out that everyone had chipped in and bought me a blue 2006 Kawasaki ZX-14. I freaked out when I was told this is such a good bike.
The next morning we all gathered around outside The Crashdown, after a round of hugs and kisses, even from Michael; I mounted my bike and started the long journey ahead of me. All I have with me is 2 changes of clothes, my cell phone, a gun, money and my pills (incase of a seizure) because I didn’t want to carry anything I didn’t need so I’m getting everything sent up there and the things should be there by the time I arrive tomorrow night.
Well I’ve been on the road for 18 hours and have to do it again tomorrow, so I’d better get some sleep even if I’m not tired yet.
Liz sighed and placed her journal and pen on the floor beside the bed she lay on. She reached over and switched the lamp on the bedside table off, and closed her eyes getting comfortable on the lumpy bed before falling into a sleep filled with dreams of seeing Ben again, stopping him and her new life in Ipswich.
