THanks for the feedback! Yes it was a short goodbye with Ava but just because she is dead doesn't mean that is the last we have seen of her. Her ghost just might have to pop up at some point!
Here's the next part for ya.
Happy Birthday to Me!!!
Part 28 One week later
Liz walked down to the lake on the base. She found Karen sitting there staring out at the water.
“How are you doing?” asked Liz as she sat down.
“I failed. My job was to keep Ava alive and I didn’t.”
“Karen, you didn’t fail. Ava knew what she was doing. She knew that if she didn’t do what she did that her sister would have killed me. Serena and Nicholas weren’t strong enough to protect me from her. Karen, you did a good job of raising her. But you should have told her what she was like on Antar.”
“Liz how do you think she would have felt knowing that she was the one that let the people that killed all of you into the palace?”
“She started to remember you know.”
“She did? Why didn’t she say anything?”
“Because she was scared that history could repeat it’s self. There is a saying here on Earth. Those who don’t learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.”
“She didn’t want it to repeat it’s self did she?”
“No, and to do that she killed her sister and herself. Karen what do you know about the prophecy?”
“Not much other than it talks about the Royal Court. Other than that I can’t tell you anything.”
Liz sat staring out at the water. Karen watched her young Queen. She knew that none of these kids needed this. But without them Antar was doomed. But the fact that they were sent to earth to protected them put earth in danger from Kivar as well. Both were lost in thought and didn’t here the woman come up to them. Karen looked up and met her eyes.
“Lady Trinity?”
“Karza let me talk to Liz alone for a few minutes.”
“Right. See you around Liz.” said Karen leaving.
“Liz mind if I sit down?” asked Trinity
“No.”
“You know who I am don’t you?”
“Yes. You’re my mother from Antar.”
“Yes. Liz you’re a strong woman.”
“I know. I was wondering what you can tell me about the prophecy?”
“The prophecy? Where did you here about that?”
“Ava mentioned it right before she died. She said something like the Royal Court would not save Antar. The prophecy would.”
“The prophecy said that eight will be reborn and sent to a distanced world. One will give their life to save another. One thought to be a protector will join the remaining seven and peace will come to Antar once more.” said Trinity
“What does it mean?”
“No one knows. But it has already started to come true. The only question is who is the protector talked about in it.”
“It’s Serena. Don’t ask me how I know but I know.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah. The fun part is going to be getting her to believe it.”
“That will be hard. But Liz I know that you can do it.”
“Thanks.”
Liz stared out at the water and let her mind drift back to a time on Antar when she and Zan were together.
Elexa was walking in the garden when she felt someone wrap their arms around her. She turned to find Zan there.
“Zan what’s wrong?”
“Nothing just wanted to see you.”
“Why?”
“Lexa you’re my wife and I care about you.”
“Just care? Or is it deeper than that?”
“Lexa are you asking me if I love you?”
“Yes.”
“The truth is I do. I will understand if you don’t feel the same way about me.”
“Zan, it’s just I don’t know how I feel.”
*Yes you do. You just don’t want to admit it. I understand.*
*Zan how are you talking to me in my head?*
*We connected I can use your powers and you can use mine. But it takes practice to be able to do this.*
*Why are you doing this Zan?*
*Because it makes me feel closer to you. I know that you won’t say the words out loud but will tell me how you feel like this?*
*FINE! Zan I admit it. I love you. I fell in love with you a long time ago.*
“Now was that so hard to say?”
“No. Zan it’s just I never thought I would feel this way about you. When my father told me that we would be married I hated him. I promised myself that I would never admit it if I ever did fall in love with you to anyone. Zan I know that you didn’t have a say in the matter. But I didn’t want my father to know that he picked the perfect man for me. I’m sorry if by keeping my feelings to myself I hurt you.”
“You didn’t. I’m just as guilty of doing that to you. Lexa I want you to promise me that you will always tell me how you feel. I don’t care if you want to tell me you hate me. I want to know how you feel.”
“I promise Zan.”
Zan bent down and kissed Lexa. She didn’t fight him and started to return the kiss.
“Liz are you ok?” asked Trinity
“I’m sorry. I was just remembering something.”
“Want to talk about it?”
“Not really. Uh if you don’t mind I’m going to go find Max.”
“Go ahead.”
Liz got up and Trinity smiled Liz was so much like Elexa had been. Never wanting to talk about her feelings. She knew by the way Liz was acting that she was in love with Max.
“I just hope that they are strong enough to stop Kivar. At lest Nicholas has finally seen that following Kivar will get him no where.”
Part 29
Serena was in her room when she heard a knock on her door.
“Come in.”
“Rena what’s going on with you? You have been somewhere else ever since we got Liz away from Kivar. So tell me what’s wrong?” asked Ry as he walked in.
“Nothing. Ry I want to be alone.”
“Rena come on. I know you better than anyone. There is something going on with you.”
“Ry I don’t want to talk about it with you. Will you just leave me alone?”
“You claim to love me but you haven’t been acting like it.”
“Ry I just want you to leave me alone.”
“Fine.”
Ry left the room and walked right into Liz.
“Ry what’s wrong?”
“Your sister won’t talk to me. She has been acting different and she won’t talk to me about it.”
“Let me try. Ry I know that Serena loves you. Just give me some time with her ok?”
“Yeah sure.”
Ry walked off and Liz walked into Serena’s room.
“Ever here of knocking?”
“Serena why don’t you just tell Ry what you are hiding?”
“Liz leave me alone.”
“No Serena I won’t let you throw away the best thing in your life.”
“Liz what are you talking about?”
“You love Ry. That scares you. But the thing is Ry isn’t going to go any where if you tell him the truth.”
“The truth? Liz I finally figured out that the prophecy that Ava was talking about. I have to take her place in the Royal Court. But that’s not the only thing. Liz I’m pregnant.”
“You have to tell Ry. He has a right to know that he is going to be a father.”
“Liz this isn’t the right time for this.”
“Rena look I understand that this isn’t how you planned to start a family but you still have to tell Ry. I don’t want you to lose him. And pushing him away like you are might do that.”
“Is that why you told Max how you feel? Are you afraid that something might happened and you didn’t want him to possibly lose you without knowing how you feel?”
“Rena this isn’t about me. It’s about you. Now I want you to go find Ry and tell him that he is going to be a father.”
“Are you talking to me as my sister right now or as my Queen?”
“Which ever one it will take for you to do what is right.”
“Whatever you say your highness.”
Serena got off her bed and walked out the door to go find Ry. Liz sighed she had hoped that Serena would take her as the sister worried about her, not as her Queen. But Liz knew that may happen sometimes. Liz walked out of Serena’s room and headed for her own to think about things.
