Part 20: The Walking Dead

The room stilled at the voice of the blonde. No one breathed that didn’t need to and it was the first time that the aliens realized that there was something deadly wrong with the situation. Simone stood up and hastily motioned to the guards who moved to escort several people out of the room, the humans who had no idea what was going on.

Beth clutched Mick’s hand tightly in hers when she heard the alien girl call her friend’s name and from the soft growls coming from around the room it was not something that the vampires were happy about. Alex slowly turned around to face the group a sheepish look on his face.

“Hey guys.” He chuckled as Liz and Josef suddenly appeared at his side.

“Alex.” She choked out again her golden hand stretching out to touch the ghost in front of her. Alex allowed her warm touch on his icy skin watching as her hand recoiled from the cold dead feeling.

“You’re alive?” Max asked looking sick.

“Not technically.” Alex laughed.

“None of us are.” Josef said.

“Max, Isabel.” Kal said trying to ease them into this gently or as gently as his mannerisms would allow. “The people in this room are the living dead. They are vampires.”

Isabel and Max stared at their protector before the two of them busted out laughing the sound unusual and creepy in the atmosphere. Michael cleared his throat and the two looked at their friend tears rolling down their cheeks from their laughter. They saw his serious face and their laughter trickled off. “You are serious.” Isabel whispered and Michael nodded.

“Wait why do you three not seem surprised by this and Liz what do you have to do with all this?” Max asked.

Michael let out a sigh and glanced at Liz who just nodded her face showing no emotion, it was scary. “We knew the three of us did. Liz told Maria and I before she left and Kyle just figured it out.”

“Figured what out exactly?” Isabel seethed.

“That I am a vampire and that my friend turned Alex into one of us.” Liz said her voice stabbing them like an ice pick as the vampires in the room shifted around uneasily.

“Vampires aren’t real.” Isabel whispered backing up slightly.

Mick was oddly the one who found the situation funny but then again it might have something to do with the large scotch he was holding. “Wake up little girl we are real and we are out there.” Mick said taking another large gulp from his glass. Beth rolled her eyes at him but rubbed his arm none the less, his girl to the bitter end.

“That is not possible I mean there is no way…” Isabel babbled while her brother looked ill.

Liz looked into Max’s amber eyes were warm brown eyes shifting their inhuman blue. “My real name is not Elizabeth it is Elise. I was born in France over two hundred years ago and I was the first of my family to be changed by Laurent.” Liz said as the ancient vampire stood up along with the rest of her family. “I was dying just after having given birth a few days prior and Laurent changed me.”

“She was the first but not the last.” Laurent said.

“The rest of us were changed as well.” Coraline said.

“Wait so you are Liz’s what?” Isabel asked shakily her hand moving to her stiff hair out of habit.

“Sister, her little sister.” Coraline said.

“Not much of one.” Maria muttered.

“Not now Maria.” Alex warned pulling Coraline snugly against him. Maria gave him a withering glare when she saw his arms around the woman she hated for hurting her best friend.

“Liz that is not possible.” Max whispered, “I saw you grow up.”

“No you didn’t” A familiar voice rang softly from behind Max three figures glided towards the group Nancy and Jeff pushing a small girl with long curled brown hair towards them. She looked to be around ten but she could easily be from ten to fourteen it was rather odd. It was the Liz who had been in Roswell at one point the second Liz.

“This is not possible.” Max whispered.

“It is.” Josef whispered hugging Liz tight making it clear to Max that she was taken. “Liz was high profile in her last life and needed to remain low key so she set up this intricate web so no one would question that she was human. It worked because even you the most paranoid man around bought her act.” Josef said.

“You were with three different versions of me.” Liz said.

“This is just crazy.” Isabel whispered.

“Not crazy just surreal it is a lot to take in but after awhile it will all make sense.” Alex said.

“How are you…” Isabel chocked off a sob as she stared at Alex.

“Like Liz said, a friend of hers changed me. Her name was Roksana and she gave me the ultimate gift, immortality and a chance at a new life a life with my Lizzie in it forever.” Alex said.

“Can I…” Maria was fidgeting slightly beside Michael and Kyle looking uncomfortable. “Can I hug you Alex? I missed you.” The human whispered. It seemed like every vampire in the room melted at the comment.

“Oh that was kind of sweet.” The Cleaner said her girls nodded.

Alex grinned at his friend and he opened his arms as Coraline let go. Maria scattered across the floor her heals sounding loud in the silent ball room as she hugged her best friend. She let out a squeal as she held him, “Alex you are chilly. You feel just like Liz now.” Maria giggled.

“Freezers are awesome.” Alex grinned.

“Well this charity benefit is a bust.” Josef muttered looking sour. “Pack it up people we will finish this at my place.” Josef said and the vampires and humans around the room got the message. Beth and Mick stayed with the group as did Liz’s family and Josef’s guards.

“Your house?” Kal asked looking ill.

“Don’t worry your little head Kal I am not going to throw you in the dungeon I haven’t had one of those since I came to the new world.” Josef laughed.

“No now he just uses holding rooms.” Liz said.

Isabel and Max still looked as if none of this was sinking in, but the sickened and pained look on Max’s face let Liz and the others know that at least some of it was registering. Isabel on the other hand was just in shock; seeing the man she loved back from the dead and on the arm of Liz’s sister had to be hard.

“Come on Isabel.” Kyle whispered ushering her out of the building and towards Kal’s limo. “Come on we will get answers soon.” Kyle whispered hoping to make her come back to earth.

“He is alive.” Isabel whispered looking at Kyle fearfully. “Oh god Kyle he is alive and I was not with him I never got to tell him I love him and now it might be too late. Oh god Kyle Kyle did you Kyle did you see him?” She sobbed falling into his arms in the front of the limo not seeing the pained stares from the others in the car. “He looked so good and he was not with me he was with someone else. I wasn’t faithful I moved on how could I be so stupid.” Isabel sobbed.

“Shh Isabel.” Kyle said rubbing her back. “You are not stupid this is what Alex wanted he wanted you to be able to live your life to live the human life you always wanted. He wanted you to get married and have lots of kids; he knew that it was no longer in the cards for him so he stayed away from you. Alex just wants you to be happy Isabel that is all he has ever wanted.”

“That woman is beautiful.” Isabel whispered her lower lip trembling.

“Only on the outside.” Maria hissed.

“What?” Isabel asked wiping her running mascara.

“Coraline is a bitch Isabel she is the worst and most vile being ever. I can’t believe she is related to someone as sweet as Liz.” Maria growled.

“Well Liz is not as sweet and innocent as we thought Maria and you know that she has told us about her past.” Michael said and Maria grudgingly nodded.

“I just hate what all she has put Liz through and I don’t want her to get her damn hooks into Alex like she did that Mick guy. She really f’ed him up I can only imagine what she will do to Alex.” Maria grumbled.

“Maria we need to wait until we get there before we make any decisions or come to any conclusions.” Michael whispered softly for once the voice of reason in the group.

“Who is Josef Kostan to Liz?” Max asked in a strangled whisper. The occupants of the limo looked at him shocked that he was finally speaking.

Maria looked at the others clearing her throat to break the uncomfortable tension in the car. “Josef and Liz had a thing for like a century or something probably a little less than that but ever since Liz came to the States she found him and they hit it off and they were together for a long time.” Maria said.

“What so she was with him and Max at the same time?” Isabel asked looking disgusted.

“No.” Maria whispered. “Her sire would not let them be together he did not think Josef was right for their family so he called Liz back to France and kept her locked away there for awhile. It destroyed them both they were so in love. After Liz left Roswell she went to LA and that is where I am guessing she got back with Josef. I guess when you have been with someone for so long and then been without them you snap at the chance to be with them again.”

“From what Liz said she really missed him.” Michael said not looking at Max he did not want to see the pained look he knew was going to be on his friend’s face.

“So why now why are they getting married now?” Max chocked out fighting the ball that was forming in his throat. “I thought you said that her S thingy didn’t want them to be together.”

“Sire.” Maria corrected rolling her eyes, “And I have no idea why the guy suddenly let them be together maybe he is getting soft in his old age.”

“Not likely.” Kal grumbled. “I have heard stories about Laurent and they are not good, if anything the guy gets more ruthless with age.” Kal huffed looking out the tinted window at the cars blazing past them. “If anything the guy has being evil down to an art form.”

Max looked away and busied himself with looking out the window. He had not forgotten what they were originally there for; they needed Josef to give them the go ahead to contact Antar. With Liz and Alex being there though, that complicated matters in so many ways he was not even willing to think about. He noticed that the limo was pulling into a private drive of sorts and so were several other cars and limos. A giant gate opened and a large mansion full of glass walls and intricate masculine detail glared at him. The sight of the house left a funny burning feeling in the pit of his stomach.

“We are here.” KAl whispered. “All of you need to be on your best behavior here.” Kal hissed and they nodded. Isabel got shakily out of the car and clung to Kyle as Max walked numbly behind the group watching as several cars pulled around the side of the house and into a giant garage.

Mick got out of the passenger side of a car and led the people inside while Beth drove towards the garage. Isabel gasped when she saw the pool inside the boxed in court yard and the intricate layout of the house. “It is so…”

“Different.” Alex said from behind them making the humans and aliens jump. Kal remained still though used to sensing an approaching evil. “What can I say my step daddy loves extravagance.” Alex chuckled.

A dark growl was all the warning the group had that Josef was in the room. “Don’t call me that.” Josef grumbled. Alex just gave him another cheeky grin and sat down pulling Coraline into his lap much to Maria’s displeasure.

“There are a few things that we need to take care of.” Albert drawled from the dark corner that he preferred. “They know our secret this poses a problem.”

Beth pressed her lips together in a tight line hating that every vampire she knew used that line at some point. She wanted to know when the hell they were all going to get it that no one in their right mind would tell others that vampires exist; people would think they were crazy.

“No!” Liz growled.

“Elise you know the price.” Albert said his tone board.

“No!” She roared as Josef looped an arm around her hoping to quell her urge to lunge across the room and rip the ancient to shreds.

“Elise it must be done they are human and know of our existence. We are not in the habit of letting humans just wander into our world.” Albert said.

“Albert these are my finds.” Liz chocked out.

“Are they really?” The older vampire asked finally moving into the moonlight. The light bounced off his white blonde hair reflecting his face in an unnatural light. “I seem to remember that the only people you are friends with in that group are those three.” He said jerking his hand at Michael, Kyle and Maria. “I see no problem killing the rest.”

Max and Isabel held hands fearfully. They knew from the man’s expression that he meant what he said, he wanted to kill them.

Hey guys thanks for the reviews! Next part is the Epilogue! Thanks...

Part 21: The Walking Dead II

Liz paced the floor sending murderous glares around the room at anyone who even dared to move. Mick looked at Liz feeling sorry for her; for once he could understand the dilemma she was in for he had gone through the same thing with Beth.

“What does that mean?” Isabel finally asked.

“He wants you dead.” Liz muttered her eyes pinned on Albert.

His thin smile unnerved the little brunette more than she cared to admit. “Wrong Elise, I only want those two dead.” He said pointing to Max and Isabel. “The other three I would like turned, they are rather interesting. If the girl wishes to be a freshie that would be desirable as well.” Albert said.

“No!” Liz roared.

“Wait why not Isabel and I?” Max asked finally catching up in the conversation.

Albert gave the alien king a deadly smirk that sent instinctive shivers down his spine. “Because I don’t think I could stomach the knowledge that brats like you were given an eternity to torment those around you.”

Kal looked at Liz and was not surprised to see she was actually thinking that scenario over. “Um I think this is where I come in.” Kal said standing even though everything in him was telling him not to. “I need to send a transmission to Antar. If all goes well Max will be off this rock and back on Antar by the end of the week.”

Liz looked at Josef and then the others in the room, “His child is on Antar if he were to send the transmission and leave there would be nothing except his sister here for him.” Liz said.

Isabel studied Michael and Alex. They looked so happy so different than how they acted in Roswell it was as if they were finally being able to live their lives, away from all things alien. “Max is where my home is.” She muttered but the vampires heard her. She cleared her throat and looked at Kal and then Liz. “Where Max goes I go.”

“There would be nothing left for him here on Earth.” Liz said.

“You sure about that?” Josef asked looking pointedly at her. Liz reached her small hand up in an unconscious gesture and stroked his cold cheek with the back of her hand.

“There is nothing.” She whispered. The others in the room looked away from the two vampires staring at each other. Somehow that act alone was much more intimate than any kiss or gesture. Max was the only one who couldn’t look away. The look in her eyes was different than any he had ever seen. It was deep and warming and he could tell that it was all for the man in front of her that her heart had always belonged to Josef Kostan.

It hurt him to know that he was just a passing fancy and that he was only there to keep her occupied while she was unable to be with her real love. He thought what they had was real that they were soul-mates but the eternally beautiful couple in front of him was proving to be just that. “She is right.” Max whispered looking away. “Once I leave with my sister there would be nothing left for me except Michael but knowing that he was here and happy would keep me away.” Max said feeling several pairs of unfriendly eyes roaming over him as if to assess his worth.

“He is being truthful I can smell no lies.” Eduard said his voice sounding oddly like a purr.

“You can smell lies?” Maria asked her mouth hanging open in shock.

“Some of us better than others Maria.” Liz said. “My brother just happens to be a lie detector.”

Alex felt bad when he saw his friend’s confused look, “When a person lies their body changes. You can be the best liar in the world and there would still be changes. Different heart beat, different breathing patter, different pheromones, different scents in general. Liz’s brother has trained himself to pick up on every small detail.” Alex explained.

Josef moved away from Liz and paced in front of the room turning to glare at Isabel and Max every few seconds. His lips were moving but the humans couldn’t hear what he was saying but the vampires could. He finally stopped and stared at Kal his expression unreadable. “How dangerous is this transmission because if you can’t guarantee that my city won’t be invaded or hounded by the government you have my permission. If you can make it work Kal they won’t die.” Josef said.

“What about them?” Kal asked looking at Michael, Kyle, and Maria. Kyle scratched the back of his head looking pained.

“Would it be terrible of me to ask if I could just walk away from this?” He asked softly.

“What?” Liz asked.

Kyle let out a sigh running his hands through his gelled hair, “Liz you know I have never wanted this life I was happy being human and unaware that nightmares really do exist. I just want to go back to being an ignorant human and go off to college and then settle down.” Kyle said.

“You guys have informants all over the place.” Beth blurted out. “He could stay human and keep in touch with Liz and then if you all need something in his city he could work it out. This way he could remain human and out of the supernatural influence.” Beth said.

“I would be willing to go along with this.” Kyle said.

Josef knew that the decision was going to be left up to him since it was his girlfriend that he was going to have to deal with when the decision was made. Mick held Beth close proud that she spoke up. “He has already proven that he is capable of keeping the secrets of others. I think that if Kyle truly wants to remain human and out of our world then that is good for him. I will agree to it.” Josef said.

It was apparent to those in the room that Mick and Liz were barely containing their excitement. Mick was happy that a human did not have his life taken away from him when that was not what he wanted and Liz was thrilled that her friend was going to get the chance to live a happy human life. “Thank you.” Liz whispered and Josef nodded trying not to smirk; he knew he was going to get rewarded for his decision later.

“Josef I can see our presence is no longer needed. We will be in touch.” Valia said as her and several others around the room left leaving only Mick, Beth, Alex, Coraline, Liz, and Josef with the rest of the Roswell group plus Kal.

“What are you going to do with us?” Michael asked pointing to Maria and himself.

“Albert has taken a liking to Maria.” Liz said. “He finds her amusing and surprisingly wants to sire her whenever she is ready.” Maria looked pleased with herself. “He has not changed anyone in three centuries.” Liz added and Maria stilled.

“Then why is he…”

“Because he finds you interesting and he feels you would be a good asset to our community.” Liz said.

“Michael on the other hand The Cleaner took an interest in him she said his blood smelled interesting and the alien factor amused her. She has never changed a male before but with her being a Cleaner and always on the move it would allow you and Maria to be close to each other.” Josef said.

“The Cleaner?” Michael asked.

“The chick in the leather.” Alex said.

“They all wear leather.” Liz giggled.

“The hottest chick in leather.” Alex said.

“Liz is not a Cleaner.” Josef growled.

“Oh come on people!” Alex huffed. “You all know who I am talking about so stop messing with me.”

“What about his blood?” Kal asked truly interested in the matter and apparently so was Michael based on how fast his head snapped.

“His blood will taste different but it will all be replaced once he is changed. He won’t have his powers either since his brain chemistry will be reworked. He will have the abilities of a vampire and that is it.” Josef said.

“So he would basically be a human as a vampire.” Maria said and Liz nodded.

Michael looked stunned by the news but there was a hopeful glint in his eyes. “I could be exactly like Maria?” He asked and Josef nodded. “Then it sounds fine to me.” Michael whispered.

“Kal you have permission to send the transmission whenever you need to just let me know what to expect and when.” Josef ordered and Kal quickly nodded.

“You got it.”

“Well it has been a long night and I am sleepy.” Liz said turning to Josef. “Can I stay with you?” She asked her bottom lip sticking out in an adorable pout.

“Like you need to ask.” Josef muttered and Liz quickly skipped around the room handing out her kisses before she bounced up the stairs to Josef’s bedroom.

“Be seeing you.” Kal said shaking hands with Josef as he led the way out of the house. Mick and Beth headed up to their guest room leaving the ruthless vampire to himself. He stared at the retreating group quickly moving to grab Max. Josef pulled the kid back inside and closed the door to the protests from his sister.

“We need to talk.” Josef said dragging Max towards his office his sound proof office.

He could hear Max’s heart racing as he was dragged through the house and into the lavish office. Josef closed the door soundly and then pounced. Max had no time to react as a now familiar hand wrapped itself around his neck pinning him to the wall. “You better be serious when you say that there is nothing left for you here.” Josef growled his blue eyes glaring cruelly at him.

“Liz has made it clear that she wants nothing to do with me.” Max gasped out.

“Are you sure you are getting this? I can smell the lust on you whenever you look at her and I need to know if I am going to have a problem with my mate’s ex coming after her in the future?” Josef asked.

Max could hear the deep rumblings spilling from Josef’s chest and cringed at the inhuman sound. It was so protective and possessive it made him feel worse than before. He knew that he was not meant for Liz Parker the man in front of him was. “I just want Liz to be happy and she is with you. I saw it in her eyes she never looked at me the way she looks at you. Please Josef I just want to find my son and help my people. Earth has nothing for me now.” Max whispered.

Josef searched his face and his scent for the truth and was pleased that he was not lying like Eduard had said. “Fine but know this Max, if you ever set foot near Liz or any of my kind I will kill you.” Josef promised and Max nodded. Josef released him and took him back out front thrusting him through the front door into the herd of people calling for him. “Good morning.” Josef sang before he slammed the door shut.

“Now off to Elise!” He growled he could not wait for his reward.

One Week Later

Isabel and Max stood on the Cliffside with Kal and the others. Kal had sent the signal out three days ago and the rebels of Antar had said that they were going to open a portal for them to head home. Apparently technology had changed a lot in fifty some years on Antar even with a war going on.

“Be safe.” Michael grunted hugging Isabel who was silently crying. Saying goodbye to her parents had been hard and she was rather sad that things with that lawyer Jesse were not going to go anywhere but she was finally going to get to see her home world and meet her family.

“I will be. You too.” Isabel whispered and he nodded. The others slowly said their goodbyes the atmosphere growing even more tense the closer the clock ticked to midnight when the portal would open.

The air suddenly felt charged and the air was knocked out of those who could breathe as a rip in the sky opened up in front of them. It looked as if the world was a sheet and someone had just torn it in two. Kal motioned for the two to walk through. With one last look at their friends and family Max and Isabel Evans left Earth.

The rip healed behind them and then they were gone. “Are they really gone?” Maria asked. Kal nodded at her giving her a small smile. Kal suddenly doubled over clutching his head his face twisting into a terrible grimace as a pained scream left him.

“What the hell?” Alex asked keeping Maria and Liz behind him. Suddenly Kal fell to the ground and the pained screams stopped.

“Kal?” Maria asked tears filling her eyes those were not good screams and she was more than a little scared.

“I am free.” He breathed his black eyes starting at them their unusual size shocking. Kal looked at them for a moment and then his body disintegrated before their eyes into a breeze of dust.

Well here is the final part of the Ancient Ones please let me know what you think!



Epilogue

The cool crisp air blew against their dead skin in a refreshing pattern. Alaska was perfect for them, the almost constant night left them all happy and the limited human population allowed them more freedom.

After fifty years in LA Josef and Mick were finally forced to leave the city when their faces were getting too well known, they and their mates had to disappear. Elise was the one to suggest Alaska where the mates who had posed as the parents of Liz Parker were living with the forever young Natalie who was an immortal twelve year old. The fact that no one ever saw the child allowed them to stay in one place with their band of freshies and now the four vampires were going to move into their compound.

Liz rolled over in the snow and onto of Josef loving the low growl he released at the contact of their bare frozen skin. “Can I help you?” Josef asked as she wiggled on top of him.

“Yes I have seem to have an itch that needs scratching.” She pouted her lower pink lip sticking out as she stared down at him.

“Oh we can’t have that now can we.” Josef growled.

“Ew.” Beth and Mick groaned from a ways away. They might not be next to each other but they could sure as hell hear the couple as if they were right on top of them.

“Agh come on Mick let’s go see what Alex and Coraline are doing.” Beth said standing up and pulling her mate inside. It was odd the friendship that had formed between Beth, Mick and Coraline over the years. It wasn’t exactly best friends but they were close there was a bond there that was unexplainable. Mick had been shocked when it was discovered that Coraline and Alex were actually mates, it was kind of fitting when one thought about it they just seemed to balance each other out.

“The horn dogs at it again?” Maria asked looking up from her book as her head rested in Michael’s lap her long blonde hair fanned over Michael’s legs. The two of them had changed drastically in appearance once their change happened, Michael grew taller and filled out more if that was possible and his skin now had a pale golden hue to it making him look like an angel as Maria said. Maria was different as well with her hair turning blonde again and her face thinning out and her curves filling out. The two of them seemed to exude natural grace now and after so many years their bickering continued at full blast, it was foreplay for them.

“You know it.” Beth giggled slipping on her robe. “I swear the two of them are worse than Alex and Coraline.”

“It’s Elise and Josef they are the epitome of sex.” Michael groaned.

Most of the Aesir lived in Juno now in one of the three compounds. Together the three were more like small neighborhoods with several houses each. Many of the ancient vampires had needed to disappear and Alaska was where they all converged.

“How long can we stay here?” Beth asked nuzzling Mick’s neck drawing a sweet growl from his chest.

“Forever if you want my love.” He whispered as Liz’s loud cries of joy reached their sensitive ears. “Or until we get tired of hearing those two.” He laughed.

“Forever, I like the sound of that.” Beth whispered kissing him.

“Then forever it is.”
