Thank you for the wonderful feedback. It warms my drifter/x-tremer lovin' heart.
Chapter 2
Being hunters for years must have weakened the shock of finding out aliens were real but its still gotta be a surprise to Sam and Dean. “Aliens are real? Can’t say I'm all in shock, if demons, ghost, and other creatures that go bump in the night are real why not little green men with probes.” Dean shrugged his shoulders and turned back to Liz.
“When I was sixteen there were these two men at a booth in the diner I worked at and my parents owned, in Roswell, New Mexico. They were arguing and one of them pulled a gun out, he shot two bullets and one hit me in the gut. I almost died,” No reason to tell them that she technically was dead, no reason to tell them that while she was dying she was lost in a sea of blackness and it felt like she was drowning. “But Max Evans, a boy who went to my high school, saved my life by placing his hand over my stomach.
“After bringing me back, he ran out of the restaurant with his best friend, Michael Guerin. There were two tourists there and they told the Sheriff that a kid, Max, had come up to me and did something to me while standing over me. Later they looked around for the second bullet but couldn’t find the hole where it should have disappeared into.” She took a deep breath.
“So he didn’t explain what he had just done he just ran away?” Sam questioned, he didn’t like that one bit, he could understand wanting to protect their secret but couldn’t the guy just make up a story like he was helping her up. Maybe Liz had fallen and was knocked unconscious anything except running away.
Liz shook her head negatively, it scared her when Max ran away, he had just done something to her body and fled. “I cornered Max at school the next day, I needed to know what he had done, what he was. Everything I could come up with never made any sense, basically he told me he ‘wasn’t of this Earth’ and he was apart of the 1947 crash. Told me that Michael and Isabel were also aliens.”
“I always wondered if that was really a weather balloon.” Dean shook his head. “What were their powers besides being able to save lives?” Dean had no clue why he felt relief at that being one of the alien’s powers, all he knew was that when Liz said she had been shot in the gut he felt like he was too. What kind of freaky mojo was this, he didn’t care about anybody except his family, Liz didn’t count as family, he was damn happy about that too.
Liz licked her lips and caught Dean close his eyes and swallow hard,
well that’s interesting. Ever since Maria died she hadn't thought much about dating or being with a guy. Even after Max left the planet she still had the desire to date, although not as often, she still had the want to be with a guy. After Maria…it was her last priority.
“Well they all had the power to change molecular structures, to change shape, dissolve things, whatever. However they also had their own individual powers, Max could heal, Michael had power blasts, Isabel, Max’s older sister, could dreamwalk, which is basically walking into peoples dreams, and Tess could mindwarp people.”
Before either brother could ask whom Tess was Liz cut them off. “Tess will come in later, she’s kind of crucial to the story. Over the next few months after Max told me Maria was told and then Alex Whitman, my other best friend.” When Alex died it was so hard to think about the happy memories, all she could think about was his death and the awful way he went, when she first thought it was a car accident and then when she found out different.
Now that five years had past she could look back and remember all the good times she had with both her friends. She still got misty eyed but who wouldn’t, Maria and Alex were the two most wonderful best friends a girl could ask for, and she only hoped they thought the same of her.
“It was close to the end of the school year when Tess Harding showed up. Isabel became close to her, Max was intrigued by her, he told me that he couldn’t figure out why he was attracted to her but later it was found out that she was an alien like they were. But I'm sure her being a beautiful blonde, with a figure many women would kill for had something to do with it.” There wasn’t a bit of bitterness in her tone just mild amusement.
“After she revealed herself as an alien she also told Max, Michael, and Isabel about Nasedo an alien that was sent with them to protect them. Before Tess came there really wasn’t a whole lot of activity, yes there were FBI agents and an alien hunter, but compared to what happened after Tess and Nasedo showed up it was nothing.” Her voice cracked a little the pain of that year after Tess arrived rose inside her, she couldn’t believe she didn’t get a chance to rip every last blonde hair out of her head. Wait she’s getting ahead of herself, other things came before that.
Coughing passed the lump in throat she straightened her spine and continued, “Sheriff Valenti, who previously had been trying to expose Max, became a great ally against evil aliens, FBI agents, you name it he was there. One afternoon while Max was finding out more information about Tess and who he, Isabel and Michael were Nasedo came to see me, but he was a shapeshifter so he showed up as Max. Told me he wanted to be alone with me and spend time with me.
“While we were on the road he pulled over and we started to make out but in a few seconds I knew it wasn’t Max. With Max I got flashes when we kissed, memories from his former life and memories from this one, but with Nasedo all I saw was darkness,” that sea of blackness, at first Liz thought she was dying again but thankfully that was only for a second. “After I pulled away we went on the road again. Again we pulled over, this time at a gas station, he blew up by leaving a ‘mark’ on a pump, later we pulled over again and this time he pulled a dead body out of the trunk leaving him on the road.”
Dean and Sam could hardly believe any of this, but with Liz’s emotions playing clearly across her face and the knowledge of what they themselves deal with on a daily basis completely ingrained in their minds they knew everything she was saying was damn possible. Dean stared at Liz and wanted so badly to take her into his arms and hold her till her hurt left, but Sam sitting right next to him stamped down that want.
“At that time Max, the real one, called me on my cell phone, Nasedo took the phone from me and said ‘Now you know’.” Just that one sentence still sent a cold shiver up her spine, after he got whatever he wanted from her he would kill her. Nasedo’s voice was so hard and cold; he didn’t care about her or anybody except the royal four; he wouldn’t bat an eyelash at disposing of her.
While Liz was getting closer and closer to the end of her story Sam noticed Liz’s hair fluttering, but there wasn’t any wind blowing through the house. Then the long chestnut tresses were brought up and were being braided right in front of his eyes, this was out of this world, never in all the years of being a hunter had he seen a ghost braid someone’s hair. Gusts of wind, sure. Choking someone one with his or her hair, definitely. But braiding of the hair, never.
“Nasedo took me to the fair, leaving signals for an FBI agent and incidentally the Pod Squad…”
“Pod Squad?” Dean questioned, that was a weird term.
“Uh, yea, that’s what Maria took to calling the aliens because they were hatched, we called them lots of names but the two main ones were Pod Squad and Czechoslovakians, the Czechs came from when Alex, who didn’t know at the time had overheard some of the alien related things we were talking about.” Liz explained to the brothers
“Clever.” Sam simply stated and he wasn’t being sarcastic either, if he really thought about it was a good idea. The fake name thing was a classic way to hide what someone was talking about even if the conversation was taking place out in the open.
Maria’s ghost stroked her hair then continued to braid the long strands of dark hair. “The Pod Squad arrived at the fair and instead of Nasedo getting caught, Max was. He was brought to a base and tortured for hours until The Pod Squad and later Sheriff Valenti managed to help break him out, it was then that he found out what exactly Max and the others were. Later Agent Pierce, he, in order to access Valenti’s personals files posed as a deputy, and was the one to torture Max, went after Jim’s son, he wanted to draw Jim out and get him to give up the aliens.”
“We kidnapped him, trying to get a whole bunch of information out of him but he wouldn’t corporate.” It wasn’t like any of them actually believed he would but they had to give it a shot. “After a brief meeting Kyle, the Sheriff’s son, got involved, saw who he thought to be one of his father’s deputies tied to a chair. Gave him a gun he took from his father’s gun cabinet, basically he was shot in the chest by the Sheriff unknowingly, he was behind a screen, and Max saved his life…after Valenti literally had to beg him too.”
That still always rubbed her the wrong way, how could Max at one point selflessly sacrifice everything he had for her but then for Kyle have to wait for Valenti to beg before he even made a move toward helping Kyle. It was then that she began to view Max in a different light, not enough to stop loving him, but enough to stop and think.
Seeing the brother’s slightly confused faces she remembered a part a rather important part that she forgot. “While Kyle was untying Pierce, the Sheriff and Michael were leaving a back room. Pierce seeing his chance stood and Valenti was trying to grab his gun but Michael could tell Jim would have been late to stop Pierce from killing him dead. So in order to help Jim he blasted the Agent with his powers through the screen at that point Jim pulled his gun and began to shoot at the flying Agent. That was how Kyle got shot. And with the combined efforts of Michael and Jim, Pierce was dead.”
“The Pod Squad decided to go to the cave that they had been hatched in and orbs that we had found earlier in the year came into play then, wanting to be with Max I went with them. These orbs relayed a message from Max and Isabel’s biological mother, the message said that Max was the King, Isabel was the Princess, Tess was the Queen, and Michael was the second in command and Isabel’s betrothed. Their essences had been mixed with human DNA, their planet was at war and they were sent to Earth to grow up and one-day return to their original planet to save their people.
“Hearing that I basically freaked out and ran out on Max, not being able to deal with the situation. After I left the desert I told my parents I was going to spend the summer with my Aunt in Florida, I left the next day.” Of course that wasn’t the whole story, on her way out of the desert she ran into Nasedo who had stayed behind for a brief while to make sure the Royal Four were all right. Instead he got her running directly into him and dirtying up his fancy suit, he acted like he couldn’t just wave his hand and make the dirt disappear.
That afternoon Nasedo, who looked extra dangerous because of his Pierce persona threatened her life if she ever spoke of the Royal Four to anybody, he didn’t trust humans never had and never would. He told her that her race was a weak race and he was surprised we hadn’t been taken over by now, she had been so physically, mentally, and emotional drained that she didn’t even bother to argue with him, she simply turned on heel and left. However that didn’t stop him from yelling out to her that by walking away she was proving to him that she and her race weren’t strong enough to handle what was out there in the universe.
Even as she trekked back to the quiet town she knew that she was strong enough to handle what was out there in the universe, but just because she was didn’t mean she had to handle it. This wasn’t her problem to handle, as cold as that sounded it got her through those two hours of walking, it was at that time she began her slow process of pulling away from the Pod Squad.
