| Prologue |
Maria, Liz and Alex were in Maria's Jetta in Hondo, New Mexico driving to Madame Vivian's place. Liz spoke up. "I'm so confused", Liz said, a sad look on her face. "I'm so depressed", Alex said from the back of the Jetta. "Wimps", Maria said with a grin on her face. Liz turned to Maria and Alex's direction. "Max keeps coming to my window and telling me he wants to be with me again, but I know it's...it can never work", Liz said. Alex leaned back into his seat. "Isabel, she gave me another one of those 'Alex you're such a great friend' speeches. It made me want to puke", Alex said with a half frown, half sad grin on his face. Liz turned her head and smiled knowingly at Alex. "I have Michael Guerin. He's mine. You should've seen his face when he apologized to me. His eyes were practically begging me to take his sorry ass back. I have so landed him once and for all....I think", Maria said, her smile turning into a questioning look. Maria parked the Jetta into an empty parking lot. "So where are you taking us anyway?", Liz asked. Maria and the three were getting out of the car when she said, "Mmm. To a place where all our answers will finally be answered. She'll tell us where our future lies with our hybrid freaks. She's a prophet. My mom lives her whole life based on her advice", Maria said, walking up to the house. "So this is a recommendation?", Alex asked and then walked wih Maria. Liz slowed down and looked up at the sign for Madame Vivian's. ************************************ Alex and Madame Vivian sit across from each other in a room inside of Madam Vivian's home. "So Isabel and I will be.....", Alex asked. "You're a wonderful friend, her foundation. You'll never have a carnal relationship", Madam Vivian explained, looking into the cup. "Oh, come on, Madam Vivian, there's gotta be something in those leaves....a few moments of pure lust? Anything?", Alex said, pleading for and answer. Madma Vivian shakes her head 'no'. "Uh....story of my life", Alex says. Now we see Maria sitting in the room across from Madam Vivian, Madam Vivian in looking at her palm and Maria asks about Michael. "This boy....very volatile", Madam Vivian says, examining Maria's palm. "That's good for sex, right?", Maria said, grinning. "This relationship will not endure", Madame Vivian says, looking at Maria. "Look, lady, I am not necessarily looking to tie the knot myself, but do I at least have a few months?", Maria asked, looking frustrated. "48 hours, tops", Madame Vivian says. Maria takes her hand away, "48 hours"? She puts her hand back onto the table for Madam Vivian to look at again and says, "Ok, are they a good 48 hours?" **************************** Now we see Liz sitting across from Madam Vivian while Madam Vivian lays down cards. Liz asks about Max. "I've never seen the cards fall like this before. The boy, he's different", Madame Vivian says, suprised. "Yeah", Liz says, nodding her head. "He's very important, this boy. A leader", Madam Vivian says, looking questiongly at Liz. "Yeah, he has this whole other destiny....one that doesn't includ me", Liz says, not believing what Madam Vivian is saying. Madam Vivian shakes her head. "No. He chooses love", Madam Vivian states. "What?", ;Liz says, suprised. "He chooses you", Madam Vivian says simply. "No, no, no, see, that's imposseble", Liz tries to explain. "The reading is clear. You marry your true love. You have happiness. The card here? Intimacy, sex. You will not be left wanting", Madam Vivian says, holding up the card, smiling. TBC |
