"Liz!"
Max. I hear him...its faint...far away.

Max belongs with Tess.

"Liz! Where are you?"

I get up, still feeling off from earlier and run out of the room. I start running in the opposite direction from the Max voice.
Of course my run in this body is more like a waddle...
Quack.

And all I can think of in my mind is
Max belongs with Tess. Max and Tess. Max belongs with Tess...

As I run, I suddenly see the ground rushing towards me, and I realise Ive tripped over my own large feet.
"Oof" I mutter as I land on the floor.

*Max*

I find my love collapsed in the floor. What is she doing in her? Was the running from me? Why would she do that? I've given up everything so I can be with her. Scooping her up into my arms I note her unresponsiveness. "Lizzie what's going on? Why are you upest with me?" Trying to choke back a sob I carry her into the sitting room and palce her down on he sofa softly. "What did I do?" I plead for some sort of explaination. "Tell me how I can make it better, I need you, Liz!" I beg unashamed at my need. :wink:

I hear a noise, and I know immediately its Max. Damn it!
"Lizzie what's going on? Why are you upest with me?"
He's crying. For a moment I think he could know..but then I realise what he said. I try to get away but she picks me up and carries me over to a sofa.

"What did I do? Tell me how I can make it better, I need you, Liz!"
"Don't touch me" I say with my horrible stupid voice. I pull away from him and look in the other direction. "You don't even know do you....you don't know" I mutter.

Tears are running down my cheeks. He belongs with Tess. He belongs with Tess.
"Have you worked out why were here yet Max?" I ask quietly. His silence is answer enough.
"We're here because we're meant to find out who your meant to be with."

I turn to him and swallow hard when I meet his eyes. "Your engaged to Tess" I state.
I quickly get up and cross the room towards the door. "I saw it...when you healed me. Your engaged to Tess. Your meant to be with Tess." I say, each word feeling like a dagger he's stabbing me with. I open the door and try to run again, even though I know if he comes after me he'll be up to me in a second. Because I waddle...
Quack.

DAMN THIS STUPID, STUPID BODY!

*Max*

Her next words shatter my still beating heart. "Don't touch me" She demands and I don't know what to do. She doesn't want me anymore. Pulling away from my embrace she jerks her head in the opposite direction. She can't even look at me. "You don't even know do you....you don't know" She mumbles unhappily. Tears cascade down her cheeks and she stares at me with such a hatred that I begin to loathe myself.

"Have you worked out why were here yet Max?" She questions softly. I don't speak for I fear my words would defy me. I know why we are here. She must have found about her sister. About Tess and I. That was in the past. I may have loved her then ,but so much has changed. I don't want to be with her anymore. I don't even remember the time we spent together. Not that it would matter. I need to be with Liz. She's all I have ever wanted.

"We're here because we're meant to find out who your meant to be with." I know who I'm meant to be with. Damn the Council. They are supposed to represent love and all its wonderfulness ,but how can they if they attempt to keep me from my soul mate. Her eyes meet mine unwaivering. "Your engaged to Tess." She chokes as if the very words injury her. he rises from her spot on the couch and walks toward the door. Does she know that every step she takes is away from me? Away from us and all that we have shared. I don't want to lose her. Not over something as mundane as this.

"I saw it...when you healed me. Your engaged to Tess. Your meant to be with Tess." She opens the door and exits but seems to be haing a hard time walking away. What's wrong with her walk? Is she waddling? My hand meets her arms and I whirl her around angerily, "So that's it!" I'm more than a little pissed at this point. "You are just giving up!" I swallow harshly before bellowing, "Do you know even care what I want?!"

Running my hand through my hair angerily I spit out. "I don't want to be with Tess! I may have been engaged to her in a different lifetime ,but I don't even remember feeling half for her what I feel for you." Biting back the hurt I repy, "Liz, you are the one for me. Past. Present. Future. There's no one else I'd rather be with ,but if you don't need me then you might as well tell me now." I struggle to supress the tears.

He grabs me by the arm and whirls me around.
"So that's it! You are just giving up!" He swallows before yelling, "Do you know even care what I want?!"

He runs his hand through his hair and I stare at the ground.
"I don't want to be with Tess! I may have been engaged to her in a different lifetime ,but I don't even remember feeling half for her what I feel for you. Liz, you are the one for me. Past. Present. Future. There's no one else I'd rather be with ,but if you don't need me then you might as well tell me now."

My heart is shattered. I need him like oxygen. But he belongs to Tess. He should be with Tess. Thats why they sent us here. The Council are never wrong.
I get out of grip and try to walk backwards, but I trip over.
"Ow!" I yell. I've twisted my ankle but I don't care. I don't care anymore. My heart hurts too much to care.

Shaking, I get to my feet. "You belong with Tess" I mutter quietly. "You will fall in love with Tess eventually. Thats what the council are trying to show us. That your meant to be with her. Your meant to be with Tess, and when you finally see that you'll leave me for her."
I walk slowly backwards away from him. "You were never mine, were you?" I say quietly. "You just didn't know the charmed one you were looking for was Tess."

I swallow and turn around. "Go to her Max." I say quietly. "Go and find real love. Leave me"

Isabel~past

Lysander looks just as confused as me.I mean why wouldn't he be,he apparently heard my voice in his head,that is enough to bewilder anyone.Rosa looks at the both of us and then says,"I'm sorry. I wish there was another way." before grabbing one of our hands in each of hers.

Almost immediately my mind is assailed with numerous images.They keep coming so fast I can't make head nor tail of them until they seem to sklow down after several moments.From what I can see,there seems to be a young,tall,brown haired man and then...Me!!!

That too me in what seems to be man's clothes because I am wearing pants.What in the world?!This weird version of me and the man appear to have been drawn together,fought the attraction,he hurt her by apparently choosing another blonde woman,she or I have some sort of power,another evil but handsome man comes in to the picture.With a gasp I realise it was the man from the dungeon,the one Rosa fought.

Several more seconds pass and again I see the young man who's name is Alex and me,standing at the bottom of a staircase,holding hands telling the other blonde women we are married.

I open my eyes gasping,as Maria drops ours hands.I take in several deep breaths before aksing her,"What was that Rosa?Who were those people?Why was I there and why was I dressed like that?And who's Alex?Why was I talking to that evil man who tried hurting you in the dungeon?" I know my questions are coming fast but I can't help it.

I think I am losing my mind."Lysander,did you see all that?" I ask as I go stand closer to him not letting go of his hand

*Max*

She releases herself from my embrace and struggles to get away, but seemingly trips over her on feet. “Ow!” She exclaims obviously in pain. From what I can tell I think she twisted her ankle. I take a step forward ,but immediately pause when I realize there is absolutely nothing I can do to relieve her pain. I revoked my powers just so I could be with her and now I am stripped of all my abilities and for what? For nothing. I am left completely void of purpose.

She rises to her feet ,but her balance doesn’t seem to stable. "You belong with Tess" She mumbles softly yet earnestly. "You will fall in love with Tess eventually. That’s what the council are trying to show us. That your meant to be with her. Your meant to be with Tess, and when you finally see that you'll leave me for her." Is that what she sincerely believes? That I would just remember that I love her sister and up and leave her for no reason? She has no faith in me whatsoever.

The pain of that revelation leaves me frozen in place. The woman I once believed was the love of my life slowly backs away from me before inquiring in a quiet hurt voice. "You were never mine, were you?" Swallowing harshly I want nothing more than wrapping my arms around her petite frame and protecting her from her own false thoughts. Never hers? I have never belonged to anyone ,but her. She has all of me. Mind, Body, and Soul. She always has. She always will.

"You just didn't know the charmed one you were looking for was Tess." I need to hold her to prove my love is true ,but I fear the rejection that would come if I attempted to touch her. She doesn’t need me. Turning around to shut me out she responds, "Go to her Max." The defeat in her tone is not lost on me. She‘s giving up. Am I so leave able? "Go and find real love. Leave me" I have no choice ,but to comply to her wishes. “Liz…” I stammer overwhelming emotions threatening to consume me.

“I won’t beg you to stay with me.” The uncontrollable anguish continues with every tear that cascades down my unashamed cheek. “My whole life I have used my love and compassion to heal those I believed were the striving forces for good, but I never knew true goodness until I met you, and I never understood the vast concept of love until I fell for you. You are the one. My only. No other woman could hold a candle to you in my heart.”

Running my hand through my hair in frustration I surge forward. I won’t leave until she hears me out. “The council sent us here to learn from our mistakes. In this life I was engaged to your sister. That was an error in judgment. I didn’t know you. I didn’t know myself. That is what we were sent to fix, but if you are convinced that I belong with someone else maybe we shouldn’t be together after all. I need to be with someone who needs me despite what others may think.”

Scratching my eyebrow in retrospect I finish, “I wanted that someone to be you. Hell, Liz I wanted to marry you.” Out of ill conceived anger I pull out the diamond from my pocket and I toss it across the room in her direction. “I bought this before we left The Manor. I was going to give it to you as soon as we got finished with this mission. I wanted to show you that my love was unconquerable. I guess I’m just disappointed yours was.” With that I turn around and do the thing I always swore I never would. I walked out on the first person I ever truly trusted with my heart.

*Lysander*

What in the devil was that? I saw a time, a life, that I'm not sure could possibly exit. The one called Alex… that was me. I have the distinct impression I was him, or will be him? It was all terribly confusing. I was in love with Isabel ,but she wore different apparel and talked differently. Her tone was bitter and full of hate. She loathed men and their mere existence. That is until we met. We fell in love quickly but there was circumstances…. Magic? Spells? Demons? Oh My!

I betrayed her by going after another blonde. There’s something in her green eyes that I recognize but I can’t quite figure out. She helped me see that it was Isabel that I loved all along and I was afraid. I was fearful of getting hurt. Of feeling vulnerable in her embrace. Then it all changed. When I thought I’d lost her every simple gesture seemed more precious that any other I had encountered. We… She conceived. We were going to have a baby?!

Joy fills my features ,but I find it hard to remember the specific details. It’s much like a foggy dream that you can’t quite grasp. Once the slide show of images have ceased Rosa drops our hands as if she’s fearful our touch will cause her to catch fire. I stand utterly speechless while Isabel shoots out questions left and right. "What was that Rosa? Who were those people? Why was I there and why was I dressed like that? And who's Alex? Why was I talking to that evil man who tried hurting you in the dungeon?“

All reasonable inquiries. I stand a little straighter when she crosses the distance between us , and asks, “Lysander, did you see all that?” I nod in agreement while scanning her beautiful expression. My eyes follow to the middle of her waist where I remembered our baby was resting, but that’s not us! That never happened in this time. So was these events ones that are too come to pass? “Yes.” I state unsure of how much to reveal. “I saw it. I just don’t understand what it all means.” I admit honestly. Out of instinct I reach for Isabel’s hand and grasp it tightly showing her that we are in this together.

*Maria*

Once the transfer of images is sent I drop my hands immediately unhappy that I got to share several intimate moments with them. It is not as if I am jealous. Alex is my best friend and nothing more ,but actually feeling his love and admiration for his wife and unborn child was too much for me to bare. However Lysander needed that knowledge so he can do what needs to be done. Once they have grasped their bearings they have several questions as I expected.

Isabel appears distraught as she rattles off ."What was that Rosa? Who were those people? Why was I there and why was I dressed like that? And who's Alex? Why was I talking to that evil man who tried hurting you in the dungeon?“ Scratching my head I try to figure out the best way to go about this. I guess I’ll just answer each and every question individually. “Lysander, did you see all that?” Isabel questions the disheveled young man. He nods and responds, “Yes, I saw it. I just don’t understand what it all means.”

Yep, that’s where I come in. The bringer of disturbing news. Taking a deep breath I start, “I let you see the future. You just witness what will come to pass. Err what I hope will come to pass anyway. If we don’t fix things here it will never happen.” I warn hoping they understand the vast seriousness of our situation. “You know deep in your heart who those people are. All you have to do is look inside yourself.” Turning to Isabel I ask aloud, “Who is Alex?” Realization seems to hit it’s target.

“I am Maria.” I reveal waiting for the cheesy background music to play as it does in all those cheesy movies when a major plot point is revealed. I wait for the horror and the anger that my admition will likely ensue. After all I’m the bimbo that not only attempted to take her man in one life ,but also in the next. I only pray to the goddess that she can forgive me for my past indiscretions and help me mend the future so all can be as it was supposed to be all along. :wink:

Isabel~past

I feel a little better with Lysander close by my side but I somehow know that whatever news or answers Rosa will give us will not be to my liking.
“You know deep in your heart who those people are. All you have to do is look inside yourself...Who is Alex?”,she says and I look up at Lysander who is already looking a lot less confused,it's as though he has fitted in all the missing pieces to this puzzle,well almost

The Future,she says.It's almost too impossible a concept for me to grasp but I have to believe it,afterall I saw it all with my own eyes.Alex...Lysander.Oh my god!Realisation hits me.They are one and the same.I fall in love with the same man in two lifetimes.But why was I so so cold to him to begin with and why did I hate that other woman even before he left me for her initially?

"I am Maria." she states and I look at her in shock.She is the blonde who tried coming between the man I loved and me in that future life.My best friend.Well obviously she wasn't in those images or in that lifetime.

"Rosa,you have to explain better.Why was I so mean and cold in the beginning of those images?"
