************


"Run Isabel! Run and don't look back!", whispered an
anxious Michael as he pushed her toward the trees.
"No! Michael, I won't leave you!", she whispered back
with a frightened cry.
"Isabel, you've got to go now! If they catch you I
can't help you...now go and stay low!, and he pushed
her again towards the trees.
She clutched at him and kissed his lips before turning
and running to the trees. She got as low as she could
and still be able to run. Michael kept watch as she
ran,glancing her way occasionaly to check her
progress. 
She reached the trees and turned to wave at him. He
nodded and watched with an aching heart as she
disappeared into the trees. 
How had this happened? He may never see her again.
Hold her. Make love to her. He put the gun he carried
into his waistband and began to search out his enemy.

Isabel ran until her sides ached and her lungs burned.
She stopped and leaned against a tree and closed her
eyes. How could this have happened? The Skins had come
back to Roswell and had set out to capture and destroy
Max, Tess, Michael, and Isabel. They wanted the
Granolith and would do anything to get it. Michael and
Isabel were supposed to meet Max and Tess at the cave,
but things had gone wrong...oh so wrong. That had been
a month ago. 

Michael's phone rang and he went to answer it. He was
waiting for Michael , Isabel, and Tess to show up so
they could discuss the idea of finding out just how
the Granolith worked and why. 
"Yeah", said Michael as he answered the phone.
"Michael, we're in trouble! Liz spotted  Nicholas in
town", said Max.
"What? What do you mean she spotted Nicholas? I
thought we destroyed him!", said Michael getting
anixous.
"We can discuss this later. When Isabel gets there, go
immediately to the cave and wait. Tess and I will meet
you there. Michael be careful and take care of Isabel"
"You got it!", affirmed Michael hanging up the phone.
Nicholas and the Skins. Shit ! I thought were rid of
them.
The door knob rattled and Michael jumped and threw out
his hand ,prepaired to throw his powers at whoever
entered.
Isabel walked in and came up short at the sight of
Michael ready to attack.
"God, Michael! You just scared the hell out of me",
she said clutching her chest.
Michael rushed to her and closed the door, pulling her
into the room.
"Max just called and said we've got to get to the cave
like now! Nicholas is back."
Isabel froze. "Nicholas? Oh God, Michael, what is he
doing alive?"
Michael took a moment to pull her into his arms and
try to calm her. "I don't know Isabel, but we've got
to get out of here and now." He released her and
holding her face, he looked in her frightened eyes.
"I'm going to take care of you. Just calm down and do
what I tell you too. Okay?"
She nodded her head and followed him out the back door
of his apartment. They climbed on his motorcycle and
Michael tore off down the alley toward the cave.

They got to the edge of town and Michael stopped. He
could see Skins...he knew they were Skins...guarding
the outer edges of the town. 
"Shit!", he said frustrated. He looked around deciding
what to do.
"Michael, what are we going to do? They must be
patroling everywhere", said Isabel.
"Just let me think, Is." He turned the bike towards
the side street and followed it out. It took longer
but after weaving through the back streets, they made
it out of town. Michael went as fast as his bike would
take them.
Isabel held on for dear life, afraid that any minute
they would lose control and crash. She was not used to
Michael's bike and it both thrilled and frightened
her. Michael felt Isabel's warm, shaking arms clutch
his middle and knew a moment of panic. What if he
couldn't protect her? He would die if anything
happened to Isabel. Max would kill him too.
They had been out on the desert road for an hour  when
Michael's bike began to miss. Michael tried to coax it
on, but it finally stopped. He got off the bike and
threw his helmet to the ground and cursed.
"God damn, no good ,fucking, piece of shit!", he
yelled. He walked around and rubbed his head. 
"Michael, can it be fixed?", asked Isabel standing to
one side watching him.
Michael threw her a look and said, "Does it look like
it can be fixed Isabel? Do you see a garage or any
tools handy? Can it be fixed!" He shook his head in
amazement.
"No need to snap at me Michael! I just asked a
question. Can't you use your powers or something?",
snapped Isabel.
"No Isabel, I can't! My powers aren't that good."
"Okay...well then we need to start walking", said
Isabel begining to walk.
Michael watched her walk and then joined her. 
"I'm sorry I yelled at you Isabel. I just get so
frustrated when I can't use my powers like you and
Max", Michael offered.
Isabel nodded and took Michael's hand. "I know
Michael. Let's just forget about it and get to the
cave."
Michael gave her a small smile of gratitude and
squeezed her hand.

They reached the cave under the cover of night. Both
were exhausted and dirty. They entered expecting to
find Max and Tess and instead found it empty.
"Where could they be Michael?", asked Isabel beginning
to feel fear.
Michael was just as at a loss as Isabel.
"I don't know. They should have been here long before
us. I'm going to go out and look for them. You wait
here." He turned towards the cave enterance but
stopped at Isabel's voice.
"Don't leave me Michael! You promised Max and me that
you would take care of me. I'll come with you to look
for them."
"No you're not! You are going to stay here where it is
safe and I don't have to worry about you!" He looked
at her and then said,
"This is getting us nowhere! It is to dark to see out
there and we are tired. Maybe they will be here soon.
Let's give them an hour and then we will look".
She nodded her head and went to the place where they
had stored supplies. She retrieved a soap and towel
and went tothe back of the cave where water ran in a
small pool. 
Michael followed her and said," You get cleaned up and
I will stand watch."
Isabel nodded and began to undress. She kicked off her
shoes and took off her socks. She pulled off her shirt
and unhooked her bra,sliding it off her arms. Her
jeans and panties followed suit. She stepped into the
luke warm water and began to lather her body and hair.
She rinsed and stepped out grabbing her towel. She
felt better. Wrapping the towel around her she walked
toward where Michael sat near the entrance.
He heard her approach and turned around and stared in
amazement at Isabel walking towards him in only a damp
towel. 
"Michael, I'm finished. Do you want a bath?", she
asked not noticing his discomfort.
"Huh, yeah, I think I need a cold one", he replied
before quickly walking past her to collect what he
needed for a bath. 
Isabel turned and watched him curiously as he left. He
acted like he wanted to be away from her. she sat down
on a rock and ran her fingers through her hair to get
the tangles out. 
Michael pulled his shoes and socks off followed by his
shirt and undershirt. He unbuttoned his pants and
threw them and his boxers on the rock. Grabbing the
soap Isabel had left, he lathered up from head to toe
and then dove under to rinse. He needed  a cool bath
and this was the best he could do. Didn't Isabel know
what she did to him? Ever since their destinies had
been pointed out ,he had been drawn to her more than
ever. He had wasted time with Maria, still a good
friend, while trying to ignore this feeling he had for
Isabel. But lately it was getting really tough to
ignore her.
He climbed out of the water and dried off, then put
his boxers on. He headed towards the cave entrance and
Isabel.

*******

Isabel turned as Michael came towards her.
"Isabel, don't you think you should put some clothes
on? We don't when Max and Tess or the Skins will show
up."
Isabel looked down at herself, suddenly selfconscious.
Clutching the towel to her, she got up and started to
move past Michael.
"I'm sorry. They were just so dirty, I wanted to enjoy
being clean for awhile longer. I'll go get dressed
now."
Michael felt bad for embarrassing her. He reached out
and touched her arm. 
"Hey", he said softly,"we just need to careful and
ready."
She looked at his hand on her arm and then at his face
and nodded. He released her arm and watched her move
to the back of the cave to dress. He proceeded to
dress with the clothes he had brought from the pool.
Isabel dressed quickly and returned to the front.
"Where are they Michael? They should have been here by
now", said Isabel worridly.
Michael shook his head and looked out the cave
entrance.
"I don't know. Something must have happened or they
would have been here..."He stopped talking and
motioned for her to get down as he crouched too.
"Someone's coming", he whispered to her.
They stayed low and held their breaths as they waited
for whoever was approaching.
A shadow appeared on the outside of the entrance and
Michael prepaired to unleash his power on whoever it
was. Isabel stood at the ready beside him to lend a
hand if necessary.
They relaxed in relief when Max and Tess appeared.
"Where the hell have you two been?", demanded Michael
as he and Isabel came out to greet Max and Tess.
Isabel ran to Max and hugged him and reached out to
touch Tess's arm. 
"We were so worried about you. What happened?", she
asked her brother.
Max and Tess came into the cave and sat down,
exhausted form their walk.
"We left town and got almost here when my jeep quit.
Just stopped running for no reason."
Michael and Isabel looked  at each other and Max saw
them.
"What?", he asked.
"My motorcycle quit too. No apparent reason", Michael
told him.
"So the Skins some how caused both the jeep and
motorcylce to fail. How and why?", said Tess.
"To get make us weak", replied Michael.
"I agree with Michael. The Skins are trying to wear us
down", said Isabel.
"Do you think they followed us?", asked Max.
Michael shook his head. "I don't think so , but we
need to stand watch just in case. I'll go first."
Max nodded and he and Tess went to clean up. 
Isabel came and sat by Michael. He put his arm around
her and she lay her head on his shoulder. They both
relished the feeling of the other one not knowing of
each others feelings.

*******

Isabel dozed on Michael's shoulder and dreamed that he
was making love to her. She could feel him sucking her
breasts and caressing her body. He lowered his head to
her cunt and began to eat of her honey. She writhed
under him and as he ran his tongue along her clit. The
waves of pleasure he was giving her made her come
hard. 
He then entered her , thrusting his throbbing shaft
fast . He came hard inside of her, and she came
screaming in pleasure. He then withdrew to hold her as
they regained their rapidly beating hearts.

Isabel awoke with a start and Michael looked at
her."What's the matter? Bad dream?", he asked her.
She looked at him embarassed and just nodded, afraid
her voice would give her away.
"I'm going to catch some zzz's if you don't mind
watching out", said Michael.
"That's fine. I couldn't sleep anymore anyway", she
replied.
Michael closed his eyes and soon began to dream.
He was in bed with a blond  and she was going down on
him with a warm, moist mouth that wouldn't quit until
he was drained. When she raised her head he was
shocked to find it was Isabel! He reached for her and
pulled her to him. He covered her with his body and
spread her legs to enter her. She was tight and very
wet. He went to the hilt inside of her and began to
pump her fast and hard. She moaned and writhed and he
groaned watching her come. They came together
screaming out in ecstasy.

Michael awoke startled. What the hell was he dreaming
like that about Isabel for? He had feelings for her
that was true, but he hadn't dreamed like that about
her since the Destiny dreams. He looked at her
watching the cave entrance and began to think that
maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to follow what
the dreams were showing him.

Max and Tess came to the front of the cave and sat
down.
"What do we do Max?", asked Tess looking at him.
Max shook his head. "I don't know. I mean , Nicholas
and the Skins are so much stronger than we are...how
do defeat that?"
"We've done it before Maxwell! We can do it if we are
together", said Michael.
"No, we thought we did,we thought we got rid of
Nicholas , but somehow he didn't die. I never told you
guys, but Tess and I saw Nicholas in New York at the
summit."
"You what!?! He was there and you didn't tell us?
Didn't you think that Isabel and I should know about
this tid bit of information?", Michael was furious.
"Max and I thought if you knew then you want to go
after him, because of Courtney", said Tess.
That silenced Michael. He probably would have gone
after Nicholas if had know. Courtney had saved their
lives and then took her own to protect them again.
Isabel knew that Michael was remembering Courtney and
felt sad. Michael had been so entranced with her.
Isabel wished he felt that way about her.
"Well we have to have a plan. We can't just sit here
and wait for them to come to us", said Michael.
"Yeah, I know. I know I've always said we are stronger
together, but maybe we should split up...you know in
case one or more of us are captured, the others will
have a chance", said Max.
Isabel looked at her brother and shook her head. 
"I'm not leaving you Max. This is a bad idea and I
won't go along with it. We stay together."
"I agree with Isabel. We are stronger together and
sitting ducks apart", said Michael.
They all looked to Tess who sat  quietly for a minute
before saying, "I agree with Max. He is our leader and
we shouldn't question his decision."
"Oh, and that's a suprise!", burst out Michael
angrily.
"Michael!", said Max sharply.
Michael looked away and then back.
"You've made up your mind haven't you? We're splitting
up", Michael stated.
Max looked at his sister and then at Michael.
"Yes. I've made up my mind."
Isabel had tears form in her eyes threatening to
spill. She took a deep breath and tried to steady
herself.
"Well, when are we doing this?"
"Now", said Max quietly.
Isabel and Michael both closed and opened their eyes
in disbelief.
"The sooner we do this , the sooner we throw them
off", Max said as stood and went to his sister. He
embraced her and held her tight to him.He pulled back
and spoke to Michael.
"You and Isabel will stay together. Stay in the cave
as long as you can. If they find you, I want you to
destroy the Grinolith." He walked to the cave entrance
and turned back. 
"Tess and I will try and lead them away from here. Our
powers are a little stronger than both of yours. We
will have a better chance to lead them off."
Michael walked over to him. 
"Michael, you take care of Isabel and keep her safe.
Don't let them get their hands on her", said Max.
Michael nodded and said,"You can count on me Maxwell.
I will take care of her."
"Let's go Tess."
Tess appeared by his side with a bag of provisions.
They hugged Michael and Isabel and then they left.
Michael and Isabel watched them until they were no
longer in sight.
It had begun.


********

Isabel and Michael sat down on the floor of the cave. 
Isabel began to shake and Michael put his arm around
her. 
"Isabel, it's going to be okay...we'll kick butt and
see Max and Tess again real soon", said Michael trying
to comfort her.
"No, something bad is going to happen, I just know
it!" , said Isabel. She got as close to Michael as she
could and clung to him in fear. 
"Michael, hold me please...I can't feel you holding
me!"
Michael held her tighter but the shaking got worse.
She was in shock.  He tried the only way he knew how
to get her out of shock. He tried too make her mad.
"Isabel! Snap out of it! I thought that you     of all
people trusted Max. I guess I was wrong. You've kicked
butt before, but I guess that it was just luck. You
couldn't do it again if you tried...I got the short
end of the deal."
Isabel heard his words as they sunk in and her shock
turned to anger.
"Who the hell do you think you are Michael Guerin? I
trust my brother completely and could kick your butt
any day!", said Isabel getting riled really well.
Michael hid a smile of relief as he continued to goad
her.
"Yeah, I saw how much you trusted Max. You didn't
think it was a good idea to seperate either. And
kicking my butt, well you just wish you could get at
my butt. You couldn't kick it if your life depended on
it", said Michael.
"You're perfectly full of shit Michael!", said Isabel
getting up and moving back into the cave.
Michael followed her. 
"I'm full of shit? I'm only speaking the truth", he
said to her retreating back.
She whirrled on him and stuck a finger in his face.
"Okay, right now! I'll kick your butt right now!"
Michael grinned at her and said,"Bring it on
Princess."
She went at him and tried to pull him to the ground.
He swatted at her like an annoying fly. 
She hit him on his arm.
He held her off with his outstretched arm.
She swung her leg out and in behind him and suprised
him. He fell. 
She quickly sat on his chest.
"I told you I would kick your butt", she gloated.
He flipped her onto her back. The suprise and outrage
on her face evident.
"But I win the contest", he said as he pinned her
down.
Then they both sobered up at their closeness and he
leaned in and kissed her.
It was a slow and delicious kiss. One that took their
breath away.  When they parted Isabel swallowed hard
and Michael took a long breath.
He looked at her and she at him and by mutual consent
he moved in to kiss her again. He slid down the length
of her and brought his hands up to her hair, threading
his fingers through its softness. She ran her hands up
and down his back, swirrling circles on his back with
her fingers. He lowered on hand to find her breast and
gently squeeze it. She moaned as he touched her and
she thrust her breast into his hand more. He raised
her shirt and pulled it up and over her head. He
pulled the straps down on her bra and kissed the tops
of her heaving breasts, suckling her nipples as he
lowered the material. He reached behind her and
unhooked her bra and tossed it aside. She was more
beautiful than his dreams. He caressed her and kissed
her until she was breathless. 
Isabel wanted to touch his skin to hers, so she tugged
at his shirts until they came off over his head. She
ran her fingers over his back and he shivered as if
ticklish. 
He looked in her eyes."Isabel we can stop if you want
to. I won't force you to do something you do want to
do."
She pulled his head down to her and kissed him before
pulling back. "I want you to be the one Michael.
You've always been the one who my heart and body
belonged too."
He gazed into her eyes and said,"I thought you loved
Alex? You even were going to date that dirt digger."
Isabel brushed his hair from his eyes. "I tried to run
from something I couldn't understand. But I do now,
and I know that my life is supposed to be with you."
He closed his eyes as joy filled his soul. When he
opened them she was watching him.
"Are you uncomfortable with that Michael?"
"No, I'm trying to understand the fact that you love 
me. I've loved you for a while and thought it was a
pipe dream", he said.
"Love me Michael", Isabel begged.
And he did.
He pulled her pants off of her and then removed his
own. He climbed back on top of her and they thrilled
in the feeling of their naked bodies touching,
arousing each other. 
Michael parted her thighs and placed his engorged
penis at her opening. He felt her moistness on penis
and knew she was ready. He hesitated, knowing that he
was about to give her pain and not wanting too.
"Michael, it will only hurt once. Just do it", she
told him softly.
Looking her eyes he plunged into her swiftly.
She gasped and her eyes widened. He was huge inside of
her and she was stretched beyond  anything she could
imagine.
Michael moved slowly in her and then began to pick up
speed as he helped her move her hips to find the
rhythum. He rode her until he felt her muscles clinch
around him in her throes of passion. She closed her
eyes and rode the fire of her orgasm to its heights.
He followed her when his throbbing member shot out his
seed deep inside of her, and then he stilled on her,
not moving for fear of coming out of her. Finally he
rolled off of her and held her and they slept.

********

She dressed and found him sitting at the front of the
cave. She sat down by and crled her legs up and leaned
on him. He put an arm around her and lay his head on
top of hers, his eyes never leaving the  early
twilight of outside. 
"Are you sorry about last night?", he asked her afraid
to know.
"You know I'm not. Last night was perfect and I'll
never be sorry", she told him.
He nodded and kissed the top of her head. Then he went
still. 
"What is it?", Isabel asked.
"There here. Skins. Two of them. Male. Stay inside and
protect the Grinolith. If they get me or you can't
hold them off, destroy it ...get out!", he said.
"Michael, be careful...and come back to me."

Michael looked at ther and nodded before giving her a
quick hug and kiss. She went to the side of the cave
as Michael went out the cave.
He snaked down the side of the rock and hid behind a
deep crevace. The first Skin approached and Michael
saw that he carried a gun. A gun! They could use that
if he could get it away. He came up behind the man and
as he reached for him, the man turned and hit Michael.
Michael came back at him and tackled him to the ground
, rolling with him on the hard surface. The Skin
rolled on top and was choking Michael. Michael reached
out and found a fist sized rock that he grasped and
brought down hard on the Skins lower back. The gun
clattered to the ground, and Michael retrieved it as
the Skins dust settled over him.
The second Skin had passed Michael up to enter the
cave. Isabel watched him approach and picking up rock
she approached him. he turned at her smiled an evil
smile. He came at her and grabbed her. She struggled
with him and using the skills she had recently learned
in self defense, she twisted and flipped the Skin
sending him to the floor of the cave. She stomped on
his lower back turning him to dust.
Michael entered to see her destroy the Skin.
"You okay?", he asked her as she came into his arms
and hid her face.
"I'll never get used to killing anyone, even a Skin",
she said against his chest.
He rubbed her back as he held her. He knew how she
felt. They had both killed twice now and it did not
get any easier. 
"They know we're here Isabel. That means that Max and
Tess are captured, or some how Nicholas found out
where we are", said Michael.
Isabel couldn't bear the thought that Max and Tess had
been captured.
"What are we going to do? Destroy the Grinolith?", she
asked.
Michael looked down at her.
"I want you to try and dream walk Max or Tess. See if
you can get inside their head and find out what is
going on."
"I can try, but you know it might not work."
"Just try."
They sat on the ground and as he kept watch, she
pulled out her picture of all them and concentrated on
Max. She slept and entered her brothers head. 

Max was aware when Isabel came into his head. She
found him chained to a wall, Tess chained neared by.
He looked at his sister through tortured eyes.
"Max, What have they done to you?" cried isabel as she
approached him.
"Nicholas has been raping our minds. I tried to be
strong and fight him, Tess too, but he is so powerful
Isabel. He found out about the cave and the Grinolith.
I'm sorry", he cried in agony.
Isabel's tears streamed down her face. 
"We will find you and rescue you Max. We will get both
of you. Where are you? Do you know where they have
taken you?"
"Don't come here Isabel! They will do to you what they
have done to us and I couldn't bear it it they hurt
you and Michael. Destroy the Grinolith and you and
Michael leave Roswell and don't come back", said Max.
"We won't leave you! We will find you..." 
She woke up crying.
"They have been captured and mind raped! Oh God,
Michael, Nicholas has hurt them so badly! Max doesn't
want us to help him and Tess. He wants us to destroy
the Grinolith and leave Roswell forever", she sobbed.
"I can't do that Michael. I can't leave Max."
Michael pulled her to him and let her cry. He couldn't
and wounldn't leave Max and Tess to Nicholas. 
"We are going to get them Isabel. We will seal up the
cave and look for them. We will find them", he told
her.
They put together the supplies they would need and
went out the cave. Michael and Isabel focused their
powers on the mouth of the cave and sealed the
entrance that Max had opened long ago. They started on
their journey.


********

They had traveled through the desert for 2 weeks now,
stopping to rest at night, taking turns falling into
exhausted sleep. 
Michael watched Isabel sleep and then stared out at
the night. He didn't know how they would ever find Max
and Tess. Isabel had tried to dream walk them again ,
but they were blocking her out. When she would enter
their heads, they made their minds blank . Max could
be so damn stubborn! Isabel was losing any hope of
finding them. He was too.
He shook her awake and she stretched. 
"Time to get started ",he said as he handed her some
jerky and water.
She grimaced at the repast. They had eaten jerky for
every meal it seemed this week. Their supplies was
very low now. They couldn't risk a fire to cook with
or to keep warm. One night they had found a small cave
and Michael had heated up stones to keep them warm.
But that had been a week ago. She ate the jerky and
was suprised when he also gave her a tin a peaches.
"You need to eat more. The fruit will help you", he
told her.
He was concerned at how thin she was becoming from the
lack of food. He felt weaker too, but they had to dole
out the food sparingly. No matter what, tonight he
would find an animal to kill and feed her.
He couldn't lose her. She had come to mean so much to
him, and he loved her. 
Isabel ate the fruit and they started out. 

They traveled all day and it seemed that their
progress was not as great. Michael spied a rabbit and
though she begged him not to do it, he killed it with
his powers. 
"Isabel we have to eat. We will die if  we don't ,and
that won't help us or save Max and Tess", he told her
firmly.
He heated some stones and after skinning the animal,
he roasted it on a stick.
"I don't think I can eat that Michael", Isabel said as
she watched the rabbit cook.
"You will eat it and you will keep it down", he told
her. "This is the only way we can get out strength."
Isabel relunctuntly but greatfully ate her share. They
both ate slowly so as not to be sick. Their stomachs
accepted the food and with full bodies they rested.

A 2 weeks later...

Isabel and Michael had reached the edge of the desert.
They had been traveling away from Roswell in order to
spare their family and friends any lashback from the
Skins. Their journey had taken much longer than if
they  had gone towards Roswell. And being on foot had
not made the trek any easier. So close to
civilization, and yet so far.
"The trees will protect us more", said Michael. "We
will have more cover and can eat the vegetation."
Isabel brushed her hair out of her eyes. She felt like
she would never be clean again. Her hair was a tangled
mess and needed a brush. How Michael could make love
to her every night with her being so dirty and smelly
was beyond her. She smiled to herself. She knew. The
same way it did not bother her. She loved him and he
loved her, so it didn't matter.
They walked until they came to a small pond. Isabel
stared at it. WATER!  They could get clean! Michael
saw her face and knew he could not deny her a bath.
They would have to be quick, but they would be clean.
They undressed quickly and dove into the cool water.
They came up laughing  and splashed each other. They
rubbed at the dirt on their bodies and Michael left
the water to retrieve some soap from their bag. They
washed each others hair and then each other. Their
bodies arousing at the erotic senstaions. Michael bent
his head and sucked her nipples and laved her breasts.
Isabel threw her head back and held him to her.
She raised her legs to clasp them about his waist, his
engorged member poking her opening seeking to find
release. She guided him into her and they moved slowly
as the water swirled around them. Michael carried her
to the waters edge and lay her down, still inside her.
He pumped her deeply and then hard. He wanted to stay
in her forever and be one with her. She was always so
hot and tight that he marveled at how good she felt.
He reached between them and stroked her nub until she
climaxed. He followed her thrusting hard until he was
spent. She  stroked his back and shoulders as he lay
panting on her. Finally he rolled off of her and lay
beside her.
She turned to him and began kissing his chest. She
grazed his nipples with her teeth and tickled them
with her hair. Michael groaned as she went lower and
came to his penis. He was filling again and she
grasped him and worked him until he was hard in her
hand. She lowered her head and took him her mouth and
sucked him ,licking his length now and then with her
tongue. She encircled the head and swirrled her
toungue flat on it. Michael came, shooting his cum
into her mouth. His hands were tangled in her hair and
he moved his hips against her head as he poured
himself into her.
She crawled back up to him and they kissed.
"Oh ,babe you're going to kill me doing that one of
these days", he said raggedly.
She knew he had needed the release. They were so worn
out and frustrated trying to find Max and Tess. They
had needed to forget. 
"I think you need to be reminded that turn about is
fair play he said."
He kissed and licked her down to her mound and slipped
his tongue inside of her. She moaned in pleasure as he
swirled his tongue along the folds of her cunt. He
sucked her nub and used his fingers to part her  wide,
so he could flatten his tongue on her clit. She gasped
as he did this and held his head to her as she rocked
on his face. 
"Miiichaelll, oh God", she cried out as she came
repeatedly her back arched high. He drank her in and
then came back up to lay by her side.
They lay their for a time and then washed again before
dressing and starting out again.

*******

They had come to a large clearing and were crossing it
when they heard the sounds. They turned and spied
several Skins approaching them. They ducked behind a
fallen tree.
"Michael, what are we going to do?!", Isabel asked
frightened.
They were sitting ducks here. Michael closed his eyes
and opened them to watch as the Skins came closer.
"You're going to run as hard and as fast as you can!
Don't look back!", he said as he pushed her toward the
trees.
"No! I'm not leaving you!", she cried. 
She had finally, reluctuntly  run to the trees. 
Now she opened her eyes as her recall ended. 
She screamed.
"Hello Vilandra!"
She fainted.

Michael heard Isabel's scream and died inside.
Something had happened to her. Did the Skins have her?
He looked behind him before he raced toward the trees
and Isabel. The limbs slapped him in the face as he
ran threw the trees. He stumbled and then ran on. He
had to find her.
He came to wear she lay on the ground and fell to the
ground beside her.
"Isabel! Isabel, what's happened?", he cried as he
gathered her to him.
"I don't think she was glad to see me,guy", said a
voice Michael had hoped to never hear again.
"What did you do to her?", he yelled a he stroked her
hair.
"Nothing. She just fainted. Never knew Vilandra to do
that before. Curious."
"Her name is Isabel, not Vilandra. Don't call her
that!", said Michael.
Nicholas smiled as he approached them. "She may be
Isabel to you here on Earth, but she will always be
Vilandra deep down...the betrayer", he said enjoying
Michael's anger.
Michael tried to calm his fury. 
"What have you done with Max and Tess? Are they still
alive?", he asked.
Nicholas nodded. "Yes, they are alive. I need all of
you together to get the Grinolith, I see. You are very
stupid and stubborn."
"Take them to the others",he said indicating with a
nod of his head what he wanted.
Michael pushed away the Skin who went to pick up
Isabel.
"Don't touch her! I'll carry her!", he said. 
The Skin started after him but Nicholas stopped him
amused.
"Let him carry her. He can't go anywhere carrying
her."
So Michael gently picked Isabel up and began to walk.

They arrived at a house in the woods that had been
abandoned. Michael was led into a small room and saw
Max and Tess chained against a wall.
Max looked up and saw Michael enter carrying Isabel.
He came alert.
"Michael, what's wrong with Isabel?!?!"
"Calm down Maxwell, she just fainted is all when she
saw Nicholas." He laid her carefully on the floor.
Isabel began to stir and sat up quickly trying to
understand what had happened.
"Michael!" And then she saw Max and ran to him.
"Max!", she cried as she hugged him and then Tess.
"Nice family reunion. Brings tears to my eyes..no
really, it does...just a sweet thing to see. Vilandra,
you're so attentive to your brother. Is it the guilt
of having betrayed him on our planet?", said Nicholas
as he walked in the room.
"Shut up Nicholas! I'm not Vilandra, I will not do
what she did to Max or the others", said Isabel  with
anger.
Nicholas stared at her and then commanded," Start with
him and then   we will see how much like Vilandra you
really are. Will you protect him or give him up to
save yourself."
Michael threw up his hand to ward off the Skins but
nothing happened.
"Your powers won't work here. I'm stronger than you.
Now be a good boy and cooperate."
Michael swung his arms, hitting out at any Skin near
him. They subdued him quickly.
Nicholas walked up to him and shook his head.
"You still haven't learned guy. You never did follow
orders well. Stand him up and prepare him", he
ordered.
The Skins tied Michael to a pole in the room and
Isabel to a chair. Nicholas approached him and placed
his hand on Michael's head. 
"Blah,blah,blah, killed my men,,blah,blah,blah...oh
this is interesting...fucked Vilandra quite a
bit...she's good isn't she? I always thought so
anyway."
Michael screamed as Nicholas raped his mind. But
Michael managed to keep thoughts of the Grinolith
empty.
Isabel cried out,"Leave him alone Nicholas! Stop
hurting him!"
Max's head had come up when Nicholas had mentioned
Michael and Isabel making love. When had they become
so close? How long had they been lovers? Before or
after the Skins came? He watched as Michael fought
Nicholas's probe of his mind.
"You are as stubborn as they are", said Nicholas
disgusted. "Foolish, so foolish. Well I know Vilandra
won't be", he said as he approached her.
He placed his hand on her head and probed her.
She screamed and Michael strained at his binds at the
sound.
"Let me see...killed my men...hated eating
rabbit...fucked Rambo over there..." 
Nicholas froze and stared at Isabel.He again probed
her mind and then said,"Well,well, this is a suprise.
Vilandra with child. Who would have thought it. I'm
assuming it's Rambo's. This could be very useful to
us." He released her.
Michael's head snapped up and he searched Isabel's
face. She was pregnant? She had not told him. Why?
Isabel looked Michael's way and saw the shock on his
face. She hadn't wanted him to find out this way.
While things were so bad he did not need the added
burden of worrying about a baby.
Nicholas saw the exchange and smiled.
"He didn't know...still keeping secrets from him I
see. How does it feel guy knowing that you are going
to be a Daddy? Oh wait, you won't be around to see
it...or it may not be around to see you."
"Nicholas, don't hurt Michael or my baby! I will kill
you if you do", promised Isabel.
"I don't think you are in any position to threaten me
Vilandra. You are just as stubborn as they were about
revealing the location of the Grinolith. I'll make a
deal with you. You give me the location of the
Grinolith , and I will you let you all go."
"I'm not stupid Nicholas, I am not going to tell you
where it is. I will die first and my baby with me
before I sell out anyone", said Isabel with pain in
her heart. She did not want her baby to die,or the
others, but she would not be the cause again in this
life for  betrayal.
She looked towards Michael and begged forgiveness with
her eyes. Please forgive me for not telling you about
the baby, and for letting it ,and all of us die.
Michael knew the pain it caused her to say that to
Nicholas. She was showing her warrior side. She would
die before selling them out. He nodded to her and she
knew he understood.
Max couldn't believe that Isabel was pregnant, or how
strong she was being. What ever had happened in the
time they had been seperated had caused her to grow.
Maybe it was the knowledge that she was going to be a
mother. Whatever it was she definitely was not the
Vilandra  that Nicholas spoke of.
Nicholas approached Isabel and untied her. "Come  with
me and we will ...discusss this", he said, his eyes
suggesting something else.
Tess looked at the others and caught their eyes. They
had one last chance. They were all together again.
Maybe together, if they really concentrated, they
could defeat Nicholas. A silent acknowlegement from
the others and they began.
They threw their energy and thoughts to killing
Nicholas and the Skins. They shook with the energy
that radiated up through them ,filling their bodies
with a powerful source that came together as one and
exploded outwardly toward Nicholas and the Skins.
Nicholas saw to late what they were doing. He had been
mistaken in thinking that they were weak and untried.
He had believed that he could force them to his will
and that he would have Vilandra as he had before on
their planet.
He felt the wave of energy burst from them and
encompase his soldiers and himself. The burning
feeling was more intense than anything he had ever
felt before. 
"You bitch! AAWWWW....NOOOO!"
He and the Skins screamed long hideous screams of
agony before bursting into flames and then quickly
into cinders.
Isabel walked quickly to Michael and untied him and he
grabbed her, holding her close.
They then released Max and Tess and left the now 
burning building. They stood at a distance and watched
it burn.
Michael turned Isabel to face him. searching her face
he asked,"How long have you known about the baby?"
Isabel sighed and said,"Just a few days. I couldn't
put anymore worry on you Michael. I was going to tell
you when this was over"...She hesitated and then
added,"Please forgiving me for almost killing our
baby."
He pulled her to him and held her as she cried from
everything that had occured. 
"I don't blame you Isabel. What you did took courage.
He would have killed us anyway and who knows what he
would have done to you."
Max approached them with Tess behind him.
"I guess I'm going to be an Uncle."
Michael and Isabel looked at Max. Michael daring him
to say anything bad about him and Isabel. 
Isabel begging with her eyes for Max to understand.
Max reached out and hugged Isabel and Michael. 
"I can't believe what you did in there Is. You were so
brave... and you were willing to give up so much." 
Tess spoke from behind them. "We need to get going. I
see a car over there behind those trees. We can drive
back to Roswell."
"Max, what are we going to tell everyone? We've been
gone a month. Mom and Dad must be frantic with worry."
Max looked at them and then said,"I think we will just
have to feel out the situation...and maybe come clean
with Mom and Dad"." He looked at Michael.
Michael closed his eyes. He then looked at Max. 
"You're the leader Maxwell, we'll do what you say." 
Max knew that Michael had done some growing to while
they had been out here.
"Michael, thank you for taking care of Isabel. I never
thought I would see her again once Tess and I were
captured."
Michael nodded.
"You know , we might not need to tell your parents
about us being aliens...your Dad's gonna wup up on my
ass for knocking up his daughter. He'll be to mad to
even remember we were missing for so long."
They all laughed.
"Hey, I'm serious here", said Michael as they walked
toward the car. "Your Dad is gonna kill me. This is
not funny. Isabel...help me out here."
Isabel stopped and turned to Michael and kissed him
passionately. "I love you Michael. I'll make sure my
Daddy doesn't hurt my baby's Daddy" , she said smiling
up at him.
Michael groaned and kissed her again.
"I love you too Warrior Princess."
