And then she looked up. A slow feeling of dread passed through her body and a shiver ran down her spine all the way to her toes. There they were again. The men in suits.

As soon as the men realized that Liz saw them, they turned around and quickly began walking in the opposite direction. But Liz knew without a doubt, they had been following her. Still frozen in place, Liz watched them walking away. She had no idea what to do or where to go. She decided to make sure they were indeed following her, so she turned away from the direction of home and kept walking. Liz walked for five minutes, not daring to even glance backwards. Slowing her pace, Liz casually looked behind her. They were there again, falling in exact step with Liz. "Oh, God. They are following me..." she whispered to herself. She suddenly stopped walking and turned around abruptly. What Liz was really hoping to do was scare the men away for good, but this time, when she turned around, they didn't stop walking. They didn't even slow down. The men just kept walking, straight for her. Liz felt herself start to panic. The men were getting closer every second she just stood there shaking. 'What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?' Liz was screaming inside. She turned around and began to run. She looked around. 'Where was everyone?' Liz glanced around as she ran, desperately searching for someone to help her, but the town was virtually empty. After all, this was Roswell.

Just by the sound, Liz could tell the men were gaining on her. She picked up her pace and turned down an alley. But they ran faster. 'How are they still getting faster?' Liz thought frantically. She was now sprinting through the dark alley, clueless as to where she was going. At the end of the alley, she turned left and continued to sprint at full force. This time Liz didn't even bother to turn around. There was nothing she could do but run. She ran for nearly five more minutes, not turning back, not even listening for footsteps. Not even paying attention to the cramps she felt in her stomach and the burning feelings in her legs. Just running. And suddenly, Liz recognized the back of the Crashdown up ahead. She ran even faster now. Liz ran and ran until she turned the corner into the alley that led to the side of the diner. She stopped at the ladder that led up to her balcony and climbed up quickly.

When Liz got to the top, she threw her body over the side and peered back down over the edge. No one was there. She looked around the side of the building. But no one was there. The alley was silent except for the sound of Liz's heavy breathing.

Her body was exhausted, and she was drenched in sweat. Liz was alive with fear. What had they wanted? Liz shuttered to even think about what they might have done to her had they caught up with her. 'Maybe they're still out there...waiting for me...' Liz jerked up and searched the alley again for the men; but they were gone. Liz crumpled back down to the ground and tried to calm herself. Her heart was still beating so fast and hard she could hear it in her ears and the pains and cramps in her legs and stomach were now making her body throb so violently she couldn't stand up.

Her thoughts drifted to her parents and how she had left so abruptly. Liz knew they were probably worried. Getting up and walking slowly to her room, Liz looked in the mirror. She looked frightening. There was no chance of her parents seeing her like this and not being worried. Liz washed her face and brushed her hair, and ventured slowly out of her room down the hall.

"Mom? Dad?" Liz called softly down the hallway. She found her parents sitting on the couch, looking worried, as she had suspected. As soon as they saw Liz, they jumped off the couch.

"Liz! Sweetie, are you okay???" her mother breathed out, rushing to hug Liz.

"Mom, I'm fine, I just went for a walk," Liz had known they would worry, but they were acting like she had been gone for days.

"Liz! You left without telling us where exactly you were going, you stayed gone for an hour! We didn't know what had happened to you!" her Father was gesturing wildly with his hands. "And sweetie, you have been acting very strangely lately. We thought maybe you had run away!!!" her Father now looked genuinely scared.
