Chapter 17

Mike looked at Mia and back at Kevin. "Okay, Kevin have it your way but just so that you know. Your brother John is missing and if he comes looking for her just tell him she is with me but beat him up first for not telling anyone who she is," Mike siad.

"Come on Sam, get Mia and let's get moving. The men and woman from the clover base looked angry at Mia. "This is all her fault," one of them said. "Renald that is enough out of you," Mike yelled. "No Mike your base can rest here, she isn't welcome here," Kevin said. "Where am I going to find a hotel at this time of the night, Kevin" Mike asked.

"I do not care, just as long as she isn't on my base anymore," Kevin yelled. Mia woke up and without anyone seeing her she left the base. Mia walked down the road and noticed an open field. She stopped to look at the stars and remembered the times she spends with her parents.

"No I know why you didn't trust anyone dad," Mia said out loud. "Look what we have here?" came a man's voice behind her. "You're going to regret following me," Mia replied. The group had surrounded her but she closed her eyes and remembered her father's words. "Whatever you do, do not go without a fight," Mia remembered.

A man was approaching and Mia brought together her two hands. When she separated her hands there was lightning between her hands. She focused and the wind appeared around them. "What is she doing?" one shouted.

"O, we just hit gold. She is a rare one all right," one said. The group used every one of their skills and powers but no one could get to Mia. She knew how to protect herself. Her father of course trained her. One man came at her, he jumped but Mia saw him. She moved her hand and the man landed on the ground. Mia moved around gracefully the wind and lightning followed her movements.

"She is too strong, run before she kills us," one said. The group ran away and Mia stopped moving around. She looked up at the sky and at the stars and in the distance she heard a familiar vehicle. She looked at her uncle as he got out of the car but then she felt dizzy and fell to the ground. Mike picked Mia up but stopped when he looked at the ground.

Sam who's truck stopped next to him got out but froze in his tracks. Mike looked at him and siad, "this is not a skill she has used before. Whoever she fought is long gone by now."

"Yes but that means John did train Mia and Zara was in her life," Mike siad. "Yes and whenever someone tells her to leave she does leave and then ends up doing this," Sam said.

"Whatever this even is?" Mike siad. The sun was starting to get up and Mike found himself looking at the ground in shock. A rescue vehicle stopped next to Sam's truck and Kevin got out. "What is the hold-up? Your team is waiting for you?" Kevin said but stopped when he looked at the ground.

"I will say this Kevin, your brother definitely trained Mia and Zara was in her life. The question of if they are her parents remains unanswered but one thing has been answered today. Mia's mega skill involves lightning and I believe wind," Mike siad.

"What happend here?" Kevin asked. "Your local elemental hunters tried their luck, looks like they came in second but it's too bad we missed the whole event. One thing is for sure, we need to watch what we say around her. She will do what we say and at this point, she does not question it," Sam siad.

Mike looked at Sam and said, "I will have to talk to her about this running off. It's the second time she runs off like that," Mike complained. Kevin looked at the sleeping Mia and said, "I will send your team to you," got in his truck and left.

Sam and Mike took a few photos and waited for the team. They soon arrived Mike and Sam drove to their new base location that was situated a few towns away.

They drove through the town and Mike phoned Sam, "how is she Sam?" he asked. "She is still sleeping, whatever that power was, it uses a lot of energy. It could be that she is weaker now that John isn't training her anymore," Sam siad.

"We will have to see, let me know if she wakes up," Mike said. They were almost at their destination when Mia started to wake up for the first time since her fight with the elemental hunters. She sat up opened the truck door and got out of the truck but ended up sitting on the ground in an instant. Luna who saw this came running to Mia. "Mia are you okay?" she asked.

"No I need to go to the bathroom," Mia replied. Luna helped Mia to the bathroom and soon left the bathroom. Mia used her last money to buy herself some food to eat and Luna was keeping her company.

"What are you going to do?" Luna finally asked. "I dont know but it clear my uncle isn't going to let me go out on my own but I am not allowed to stay at the base so I dont know," Mia said. "You will be staying with me until I know what is going on with your case Mia. If your father comes looking for you, he will be answering a lot of questions," Mike siad.

"What do you mean, uncle?" Mia asked. "Luna give us a minute," Mike asked. Luna left and he sat down at the table, "if you need anything else to eat order it, ill pay the bill," Mike siad. "It's okay if I order more food?" Mia asked. "Yes, Mia you used a lot of power. You must not be feeling so great about it this morning?" Mike asked. "Yes well, dad warned me as I get older using my power might take more energy. He told me what to do," Mia siad.

"That's good to know but listen I need to set down the law with you," Mike said.

"What law? Uncle?" Mia asked. "If someone tells you to leave the base of building you do not leave. Only me and Sam can tell you when to leave a building and one more thing. I know it's not fun hearing how everyone doesn't believe you are John and Zara's daughter. Your parents kept your existence a secret and they did it almost perfectly. It will take time for everyone to accept the truth," Mike siad.

"You believe me?" Mia asked. "Yes but you need to understand something," Mike said. "What is that uncle?" Mia asked. "You considered as an adult, not a minor. You will have to find a job at our new location and pay rent on the base. The council accepted the fact that I am taking responsibility for you but you will have to find your own way to survive," Mike siad.

Mia looked at her food and at her uncle. "Mom told dad the same thing," Mia said. "She was telling the truth and it's best if you dont tell anymore people about your parents. Just tell them they are gone and you're staying with family," Mike siad.

"Why uncle?" Mia siad. "One it's true and two we dont know why your father and mother made the decisions that they did. We also do not know where they are or when we will ever see them again," Mike siad.

"What about the council dont they need proof?" Mia asked. "Well, I dont know but in case there are problems at the base I think I will be leaving you for now at a local hotel. Once I find an apartment for you I'll come and get you okay," Mike siad.

"So I am not allowed to go to the base?" Mia asked. "Yes, that is correct but dont think just because I am not close to you I won't come looking for you if you go off on your own," Mike said.

They arrived at their new location and Mike dropped Mia off at the hotel. She watched them leave and wondered if she would ever get used to the changes in her life. It didn't take her long to find a job for herself as a teller at a local supermarket. It was only for a few days. She used the money to buy herself new clothes and a few other things she needed.

That night at the hotel as she was falling assleep there was a really hard knock on the door. She opened the door and found herself stairing at a strainge man. "Can I help you?" Mia asked. "Yes, tell me are you John and Zara's daughter?" Mia looked shocked at the man and asked, "why do you want to know?"

The man looked at her and said, "if you know what is good for you, you will stay away from team clover. It's not your home," the man said and left. Mia looked at the man as he left. She felt scared for the first time in her life and decided to go to the local police station.

There was an officer standing at the front desk and Mia went to him and asked, "my parents have been kidnapped recently and I am living with my uncle. Someone just threatened me and told me to leave. Tell me what can I do?" Mia asked the officer.
