Illusions (Prologue)
"You don't understand. He's not even speaking to me!"
Nasedo listened patiently as the girl on the other end of the line vented her frustrations.
"It's been two weeks! Two weeks since he found out that we were destined to be together and all he's done is go to the Crashdown and stare at Liz Parker!"
Nasedo's eyes darkened at the name. Damn girl. She had been the reason the FBI had caught Max in the first place. Because of her, Max had risked everything, time and time again.
And now, because of her, Max was in full denial of his destiny, of their people's destiny. Because of some human. As he listened to his surrogate daughter become more and more upset, Nasedo himself became aware of his own rising anger.
"Nasedo, we have to do something! I need your help!"
"Don't worry, Tessie. Daddy will take care of everything," he promised.
And Nasedo never broke a promise to his little girl.

Maria DeLuca hugged her best friend, Liz Parker again, fighting to hold back tears. "I can't believe you're leaving."
"It won't be forever, Maria," Liz reassured her friend again, glancing at Alex helplessly.
Alex took the hint and stepped forward, putting a hand on Maria's shoulder. "Your train's boarding," he told Liz quietly.
She nodded and pulled away from Maria. She stooped down and picked up her two duffle bags.
"Call us when you get to the hotel," Alex said, avoiding her eyes.
Liz felt a twinge of guilt, and she stared at him for a moment. "This is something that I have to do," she said softly. "I can't be here now, Alex."
Alex finally met her eyes, his own eyes sad, but understanding. "I know," he said simply. He kissed her forehead. "Take care."
"I will." She offered them a brief, nervous smile. "Well, I'm off." She turned and climbed aboard the train, pausing on the steps to turn and see her two best friends in the world watching her. Then she turned away.

Nasedo smiled as he took a seat on the train. He couldn't kill her now, for obvious reasons. But by the train stopped in L.A., it would be well after nightfall. And no one would notice if one teenage girl didn't make it to her hotel room.
