Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story. The characters and concept belong to Jason Katims and Melinda Metz. Tarsus of Dernia and all Illyrian characters belong to me. Lyrics by Sarah McLachlan and Phil Collins.
Summary: Sequel to "Out of the Woods." I highly recommend reading it before trying this one. It is archived at the Crashdown and the last few parts are down below on this board. Basically, Max is gone, and the others have no idea whether they will ever see him again.

I will remember you.
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by,
Weep not for the memory.
Remember the good times that we had,
Let them slip away from us when things got bad.
Clearly I first saw you, smiling in the sun,
Want to feel your warmth upon me
I wanna be the one.
I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by,
Weep not for the memory.
I'm so tired, I can't sleep.
Standing on the edge of something much too deep.
It's funny how we feel so much
But cannot say the words
We are screaming inside but we can't be heard.
I will remember you.
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by,
Weep not for the memory.
So afraid to love you.
More afraid to lose.
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose.
Where once there was a darkness,
A deep and endless night,
You gave me everything you had,
Oh, you gave me life.
I will remember you.
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by,
Weep not for the memory.

Weep not for the memory.

* Max *

He remembered her only when he was asleep.

It was then that she haunted him.

Dark hair, dark eyes...a beautiful face with perfect features, gazing at him with love in every look...

And then her name would come to him like a gift.

Liz.

Visions of her were his only comfort in a world that had gone mad.

*Flash*

Young Liz on the playground playing with Maria - the first time he had ever seen her.

*Flash*

Liz bent over her biology book, her dark hair hiding her face, until she absent-mindedly tucked it behind her ear, revealing her profile in deep concentration.

*Flash*

Liz in the Crashdown, laughing with Maria, her alien antenna head-band bouncing as they clung to each other giggling...

*Flash*

Liz staring up at him in shock after he had saved her - the day that he had put his heart - in fact his entire existence - on the line to preserve a life more precious to him then his own...

*Flash* Flash* Flash*

She was everywhere.

"I really don't think you should leave."

"I don't care."

"You were the one person I really wanted to talk to..."

"Do you still think that's a good idea?"

"Max, I didn't come here for permission. I came for the pendant."

"I guess these are the things we do when we feel a certain way about someone."

"How is it that I can be the happiest I've ever been in my whole life and the saddest at the same time?"

"You made me a part of this Max."

"And what if I believe you tonight?"

"I know I'm supposed to be...but I guess I'll just have to put myself in your hands."

"I love you..."

Liz....

"Jaxon! Wake up!"

Jaxon Falconer, King of Illyria, Blue Prince sat up blinking.

He shook his head, blinked at his second-in-command, Tarsus of Dernia.

"What's going on?" He asked groggily. His mind was searching frantically for something that had been there only moments before.

Not something - someone...

"Your parents..." Tarsus replied, his lips pressed together in annoyance. "They've attacked the Citadel."

Jaxon's mind snapped to full conciousness. "Get my sword."

She was gone.
