When? oh when?
Please don't ask me when
I'll call, I'll write
But I can not stay here tonight
No, I can not stay here tonight
I can't stay here tonight

Colorado was nice. We stayed for about three nights before I moved on. I resorted to copying bills but I have to for survival. I am not letting my baby die like this. No way in hell. We moved on to New York after I made enough money to buy a place somewhere quiet under a new name and enough to get me there.
"Look Kira this is our new home" I whispered with a smile as I walked up the dirty flight of stairs. It isnt so bad. I fixed up the walls and she watched. She was heir to the throne of Antar and one day she would be able to do these things like me. I smiled at the thought of her being able to protect herself like I could. But for now she was so tiny and helpless.

Light me up a cigarette
And check that my bags are packed
Something I was gonna say
It's gone - till another time
But how long till that other time
I hate to go
But I'll be back again

I could have spun and twirled with delight and some how I wasnt sad anymore. I just wiped away the tears that had no more meaning to me and got out of bed. I got dressed and went to work just like that. No fuss from my mom as I left she was in black. She must have been hit just as hard.
"Mom?"
"Honey, do you need anything?"
"I'm going to work"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah I think I am" I smiled and then left leaving her confused. I drove to work and got out the car and walked into the cafe. It was closed but I went and opened it up. Liz was alive and for some reason she didnt want them to know. She would let them know in her own time...
I went into the cafe to open the doors and I came across Michael. Her "loss" had hit him hard. She was as much of a sister to him as Isabel was. I heard vague tails of their mission into the desert and about her discovering who she really was. I didnt really know much about that but that night was important to both of them.
"Michael" I gently shook him
"Liz?" he grunted then looked round "Oh she's not here" his eyes watered and he was quick to wipe them away.
"No not at the moment" I replied cracking a smile "Come on we've got to open the cafe. I know she moaned and groaned but she loved this place to bits and she wouldnt want her parents to go broke"
"Maria?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you crazy?" he didnt raise his voice at me nor did he wave his arms. It was just a simple question and I laughed my answer.
"Possibly now come on"
"But Maria... Liz is dead"
"To you" I told him as I switched on the coffee pot. He came over and took my hands.
"Liz is gone. She's dead and so is her baby, you can't forget that! You have to realise you're never going to see her again..." I cut him off when I pulled him close and kissed him. We had been treating each other like china dolls( ) over the past year and Liz was right. I was glad I kissed him.
"What was that for?"
"You know for a stoned up no emotions kinda guy you talk way too much about how people should feel. Well now how do you feel?"
"In love" he said with a goofy smile on his face
"Love..." I echoed. She didnt say he liked me that much!

When? oh when?
Please don't ask me when
I'll call, I'll write
But I can not stay here tonight
No, I can not stay here tonight
I can't stay here tonight

"Wake up" I opened my eyes and saw Michael staring back at me only it wasnt Michael. Not really he was back in Roswell with the others and any way this Michael was a punk
"Michael?" I uttered but he just grinned
"No Queen I aint Micky boy" he told me and I looked down for Kira. She wasnt there and I looked up at him
"Where the hell is my baby!" I roared at him grabbing his jacket
"Relax majesty your sprog is wit Lonnie" I looked over and saw a punk Isabel holding Kira.
"So dis is the heir to the Antarian throne! Who knew Zanny dupe had it in him!" she laughed as she jiggled Kira about. I stood up and pulled Kira away from her.
"What do you want?"
"We's here to protect ya. Look we's da Royal Four or we were before Zan da Man had his little accident"
"Yea total truckstopper!" laughed Lonnie
"Yeah anyways we need you ta complete da four. Yous da Queen and you's got the heir to the throne"
"What do you want out of it?"
"Look we's just wanna go home is dat so bad?" asked Lonnie as she moved inches from my face.
"No that means I have to go with you and the only way to go back would be to use the granilith and my mother needs it. The others need it too and I can't take it. Anyway they think I'm dead, I can't go back there unless I have a good reason"
"Reason" said Lonnie absent mindedly glancing round the room. I couldnt even tell what she was planning but I didnt like it one bit.

Open up your tired eyes
And force yourself to smile
Yesterday was yesterday
It's gone, it's tomorrow now
It's here, it's tomorrow now
Now I must go
But I'll be back again

I sat still and empty, lost like a child and cold with stains on my cheeks. I could remember it all so clearly.

I sat watching them with wide eyes as we ate our cold Thai food, it was almost one at night and Kira was asleep. I couldnt shake the feeling that they were going to do something. I finished my tub and put it down on the floor next to me. I leaned back not taking my eyes off them, Ava stood up and I leaned forward
"Where are you going?"
"Take a leak sheesh!" she muttered as she left the room. I didnt trust them, I stood up and moved over to Kira's made up crib to pick her up but something grabbed me and held my arms behind my back. I heard an engine start outside and Lonnie moved forward and quickly picked up Kira. I struggled in Rath's grasp as Lonnie left and got into the car, he let og of me and shoved me down. I went sprawling against the makeshift crib and I got up just as they were pulling away.
"KIRA!" I yelled as I raced after the stolen car waving my arms, I could have blown the tire but then they could crash and she could get killed. I ran after them till I couldnt see the car any more, I just kept running. I could have ran all the way back to Roswell. I finally came to a stop when I tripped over my loose lace. I toppled over and sommersaulted and landed on my stomach and coughed against the dusty road.
They had taken my baby and I had to go back to Roswell and kill them. I was so going to kill them for ever thinking they could lay a hand on my daughter or take her from me. I kicked a stone and stood up. I had been sat crying for the last ten minutes.
It was early morning and I stood up and wiped away my eyes, I wasnt going to thumb for a ride I was going to steal a car. I walked steadily over to the diner where I'd got the grub last night and shoved some guy out the way as he was getting in his car.
"Hey what the fuc..." I waved my hand over the car changing the colour and he just went quiet.
"My car now" I said and I waved my hand and the engine roared. I paused for a moment and closed my eyes. I reopened the severed connection with my mom. She was going to know I was alive and coming home.

You got to weep
You got to wail
You got to drag yourself on hands and knees bleeding
Another mile along the trail

I was working in the cafe, I stood staring off into space as I rubbed the cloth over the same spot. People were whispering about my dead daughter and I couldnt care. I couldnt care if they rubbed it in my face, it wouldnt bring her back and the hardest part was that I would have to live my life without her. I never got to know my granddaughter either, I waited and waited and we could have got her out anytime.
"Stop blaming yourself Mitosta" said Maria and I looked down at her she was refilling the napkin dispensers.
"But she's gone. She's dead Maria"
"Yeah I know. I was there too and I've felt all the things you did, you can't blame yourself because it's wrong. She loves you and it wasnt your fault, it was their fault for taking her"
"But she died knowing that I wasnt there for her Maria"
"She knew you were there for her. She will always know where ever she is now"
"When did you become all knowingful?"
"Well someone has to be, right?" I nodded and looked down. I had worn the paint away from the wood and now there was a brown patch.
I sighed and sat down on my seat and stared at the mural on the wall opposite me. It was mocking me and if I watched just long enough it moved and the little alien got out of his ship and chanted 'your fault' over and over. I closed my eyes and buried my head in my arms.
Then I felt it, I snapped my head up immediately trying to figure out what it was. I looked round and then closed my eyes, I could sense her! My baby was alive! Liz was alive!
I jumped up onto the counter and did a back flip much to the horror of everyone in the room. I jumped down and grabbed Maria's arms and began dancing with her.
"She's okay! She's alive!" I chorused and Maria just nodded with a grin "I can sense her she's alive! She's coming home too" then I felt the connection blare between us and I felt her grief. Not only was Liz alive but Kira was and someone had taken her.
"Oh god I've got to help her" I stopped dancing and I rushed out to where Michael's bike was parked. I had never ridden one of these things but since I was connected to Michael it was a doddle. I waved my hand over the engine and roared off down the street.

You got to laugh in the face of the devil
When he's hanging on to your shirt tail
You got to hold down the lid of the coffin
And hammer in the last nail

The End...
