Maria thought it took like forever for Isabel to fall asleep. She finally did and Liz and Maria joined Alex outside there tents.

�God, what took you so long?� Alex whispered.

�Your girlfriend is a hell of a talker,� Maria said smiling a sarcastic smile. Maria, Liz, and Alex walked off into the desert; little did they know that Max, Michael, and Isabel followed them.

After about an hour of walking Liz, Maria, and Alex found a cave and walked into it.

�I don�t like this� Alex said when they were inside the cave.

�You never like this stuff Alex� Maria said grinning.

�Sorry that I�m, not the adventurous kind� Alex snorted back

�What�s this?� Liz said and bent down and picked something up. It looked like some sort of rock, but it was in some sort of blue color and it had a mark on it  (It was an orb). Then they heard a noise from the entrance of the cave. Maria immediately put Alex and Liz behind her.

�And when were you going to tell us about you little search?� Max asked as he, Isabel, and Michael came closer to them.

�None of your business� Maria yelled as she moved away from Alex and Liz.

�Yes Maria, it is, just because you and I are fighting doesn�t mean that you should shut Isabel and Max out too.� Michael shouted back and walked up to Maria.

�It�s not that, well in a way it is� Maria said.

�What?� Michael asked confused.

�We made a pact that none of us could get intense. I broke it off and now I am helping Alex and Liz, get it, we don�t want or need you� Maria shouted at Michael, Max and Isabel.

�Maria, that is not true� Liz said as she looked with tears in her eyes at Max hopping for forgiveness.

�Yes Liz it is, and stop pretending that it is different� Maria yelled as she walked to where Liz and Alex stood.

�Maria, stop!� Alex said and walked in between Liz and Maria.

�No Alex!� Maria shouted at Alex.

�Maria!� Alex said trying to calm Maria down.

�No I won�t, don�t you see that these humans are in danger when they are with us� Maria said pointing at Max, Michael, and Isabel.

�Maria, listen I think we can take care of our selves� Michael said and walked up to them.

�Shut up Michael, stay out of this� Maria roared at him.

�No Maria, I care too much to stay out� Michael yelled back.

�Just leave� Maria said waving at the cave entrance.

�No� said Michael angrily and planted his feet on the dirt.

�Then we are leaving� Maria said walking towards the entrance.

�No Maria, I�m staying� Liz said in a commanding voice.

�Me too� Alex said as he stood beside Liz.
