Chapter 19: Info on Dad's Necklace

I looked at the address then looked at the houses. I was looking for the right one but didn't see it. So I looked for someone who might help me. Then I finally found someone. "Excuse me sir. I'm looking for this address can you help me find it?" I asked the man politely. "Sure. In fact I'm heading there myself. Care to walk with me?" "Sure why not." So I walked with the man to a strange place I haven't seen before.

"Here we are little lady." "Thank you sir." Then he walked up and went inside which made me confused. I walked in as well. "Excuse me sir. But do you live here?" "Yes I do. Is there something I can help you with?" "Yes actually. I took the necklace off to show him the rock." "Ah I see. Its one of those rocks. I haven't seen one in 10 years." "Yes well it was my fathers necklace actually." "Your fathers?" "Yes he died when I was a baby. His name was Orion." "You mean your are his daughter?" "Yes. Did you know my father?" "Well I guess you can say we are aquaintances. I was the one who gave him that necklace. There are only 4 in this world left. I see your color is blue. Mine is red." He showed me his. "Oh sorry I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Rinko. You are?" "Oh sorry. My name is Akela." "Nice to meet you Akela. I take it you read the book on rocks?" "Yes well me and my finance did and I feel asleep so he must have continued since he knew it was important to me." "Ah I see. A fiancé. Congrats." "Thank you sir. I will be 17 in a couple of weeks. So it has been almost that many years since dad. I wish I knew him better. (Sigh)" "You know Akela. I was the same way. My father also died when I was a baby. It was just me and my mom. Growing up." "Well I had my mom and step dad. So I wasn't alone. I also had a lot of brothers and sisters. Then I ended up moving in with Leo and staying with him." "What happened to your mom?" "Oh nothing she is still alive. I just ended up with Leo. Now he is uncle Leo he married Aqua and they have babies now. A boy and girl. The boy is Orion like father and the girl is Luna like mom." "Oh I see. They really were close to your parents weren't they?" "Yeah they were. Anyway can you tell me about the rock?" "Oh yes sorry."

"OK by now you have probably figured out you have powers right? Or else your mom wouldn't have gave it to you." "Yes so far I have moms power and my dad's ice power. Mom said in the future I might end up getting dad's fire power as well." "I see. Well then. It's a good thing you have this on you then. If your temper is anything like this, this will help. Your father could have done a lot more damage without this so where it at all times except when you sleep and take showers of course. So what did your mom say about it?" Then I told him what mom said that dad said to her. "Oh well it is true that is part of it. Well have you read what was in the book?" "Yes I did. Then I told him what I read. "Yes that is true. I keep researching this rock and learn a lot more. SO the longer you wear this rock the safer is can make you so be careful with it ok?" "Yes sir. Oh and my fiancé might come over to see you as well. He is the one who found it after all. Can you meet him in town for me? Here is a picture of him." "Oh he is a handsome young boy. Just like I was. Haha Just kidding. Seriously though I will wait for him." "Thanks Rinko. By the way is Rinko your real Name? I kind of have the feeling your covering up your real name." "Well you may be right. I changed it for a reason. So don't worry about it ok?" "Yes sir. Thank you for your help." "No problem. You and your fiancé are welcome anytime." "Thank you sir." No problem.

I headed back home after I left "Rinko's" House. I wonder who he really is? I have a strange feeling it has to do with the village dad grew up in. I shook the feeling off for not but not for good and focused on getting back home.

I finally got home and said, "I'm home." "Oh hello Akela. Did your business go ok?" "Yeah it went fine. I'm going to write a letter to the others back at the village." "Ok then. Have fun." "Oh and when I am done Drake we can talk ok?" "Alright then." So I wrote in the letter that I met a man I think might have been from the village. I didn't tell him the name because I wanted to say in person. I told them that I would talk to the others about a good day to come and visit. I would see them later and told them I was doing ok so far. Then sighed my name and gave it to the pigeons. I wrote misfits and where do put the letter and the bird took it there.

'OK now I can go out and talk to Drake now.' I thought. So I walked out and said. "Hey Drake lets go outside and talk. It's a nice day." Then we went outside on the grass and I said, "Do you know about wolves?" "You mean how they can change from wolf to human?" "Yeah well in my case it was human to wolf but yes. I am one of them." I made sure no one was around and turned into a wolf. He stood up and said "Wow! You are pretty." "Can I pet you?" I nodded. Then he pet my fur for a little bit then I turned human. "I can understand what you are saying you just can't understand me that's why I didn't talk. Thank you for saying I was pretty. I look almost exactly like mom's fur. Only my white is a little l lighter than hers. Oh and I was thinking. I learned something new so I was wondering if we can visit the village again soon. I have to talk to Aries Echo and your mom again." "Oh I see. Maybe they can come here for a change." "You know what I didn't think of that. I'll just wait for a reply first then I will tell them." "Good idea." Then we talked about random stuff.

It was finally time for Loki to be out of school. I was assuming he would be late because he would head over to that place after school. So I waited. Then it was about dinner time when he came home.

"Oh hello Loki." Said Leo. "Hey uncle. Akela can I talk to you for a minute?" "Yeah sure." So he pulled me outside and said, "You went to see the man by yourself?" "Yeah why? Was it a bad thing?" "No just be careful ok? You are too trusting over people. I don't want to see you get hurt." "I know that. I will be fine. I promise." "Just be careful next time." "Yes I know. So what did you learn?" "Probably the stuff you already know." "Hey Loki? Did you have a strange feeling about that guy?" "No why?" "Well I do. I hope its wrong." Then we went in ate dinner and went to bed.

A few days later it was lunchtime. Someone knocked at the door. (knock Knock) Then Leo went to the door and saw who it was and opened it. "Well hello Kira. Who might this young lady be?" "Hehe I'm sure he told you. Leo. I knew you for 2 years as well before I moved." "Yeah you did I remember." "Anyways its good to see you again. I was happy when I finally saw Kiran. I knew it was him just by looking at him. Other than his facial hair he looks the same. You should have seen the look on his face. It was priceless. Hehe." "Yours was the same. Tala." "Hello you must me Tala right?" "Yes and your Akela correct?" "Yes I am. Your father Orion was a funny guy. Orion your father and your Uncle Kira were. He still is." "So Uncle tell me. Are you ready for a relationship now?" "Oh shut up Akela." "Hehe I love you uncle. Your so cute like a little boy when you look like that." "I know right? Akela do you mind if we can hang out sometime?" "Oh sure its fine." "Thanks." So us girls talked a little bit and got to know each other.

Then I finally heard I had gotten a letter. I ran out of my room and grabbed it. "Oh it's a letter from the guys." I opened it up and read it silently. "Heheh. Looks like they share your idea Drake. They want to come here and visit. For a day or 2." "Good idea." "Uncle when are you free to have company?" "Oh maybe Friday." "OK sounds good." I wrote one last letter and told them when they should come. Then put it on the bird and it flew to the destination. "Oh your birthday is on your last day of school. What do you want to do?" "Oh crap. Some much has been going on time flies." "Um maybe I will talk to the guys. I want to go to the village for my birthday. We would have to have it a day after since it takes a day to get there. I don't want to miss any days of school next week because its my last week." "OK well we will talk about it when the guys get here ok?" "Yes uncle Leo thanks."

The week flew by fast and it was the day the boys are supposed to be here. I had my necklace hidden so no one could see it. Then finally I heard some footsteps. Then there was a knock. (Knock Knock) I ran to the door and opened it. "Hello boys and little Lily." Lily ran over and gave me a big hug. "Aww thanks Lily. I have to talk to the grown ups for a little bit ok? Why don't you go help Leo and Aqua take care of the babies for a bit." "I'll take her." Said Drake. "Thanks Drake." So it was only me Loki and the others in the house. He was home awhile before they came after school. "Ok so I want to know if you guys know what this is?" I saw Everyone's face looked shocked. "Where did you get that?" said Echo. "My father gave it to my mother when he died. He told her to give it to me at the right time." "Yes we all have one too. Exept for Rain. It was a guy thing that we shared." Said Aries. They all showed their necklaces. Then I said "ok. That brings me to the other question. I heard there was only 4 left in this world. Who had the other one?" "Where did you hear that from?" "First answer my question." "I'm sure you know who had the last one Akela." Said Echo. "It was Riker wasn't it?" "Yes it was." "I knew it. It must be him then." "What are you talking about? Riker is dead?" "Well if he is really dead I need to tell you something. A few days ago I read this book on rocks. It had a certain address on it. Then I had someone show me where it was because I couldn't find it. Then the man who showed me to the house ended up being the man who lived there. He called himself Rinko. Does that name mean anything to you?" They all sighed. "Yes he is Rikers twin brother." Said Aries. "I have a feeling its not his twin. I still have the address in my pocket. Do you all want to check it out to be sure?" Echo and the others nodded. Loki was looking a little nervous about it. "There is something else as well. He told me that when I saw you not to mention him. So be cautious. That's why I told you something was a little off about him. Maybe it was Rinko that died it your arms and not Riker that day." "No it couldn't possibly be him." Said Echo. "We will tell him we forced it out of you ok? That way you won't get into too much trouble." "Thanks guys. We will watch the kids you guys and girl go ahead." "Thanks so much Akela." Said Aries. "No problem. Oh and I want to know. When you get back I have one more thing totally unrelated to tell you." "OK see you probably later tonight or tomorrow." "OK then see you." So they were off.

"Oh that's right. Loki you weren't here when we talked about it. I haven't even told the guys yet. Next Friday is my birthday and I was thinking about having it at the village. What do you think?" "Well since these guys are pretty much family. I don't see why not." "Yay. Thank you Loki." "Haha your welcome Akela. Where do you get that energy? Sheesh." "I was born with it Loki. Don't worry as I get old and when I have kids I may not have this much energy. So I enjoy it while I can." "haha True all that energy will be taken from giving birth and caring for the future kids." "Yep. Oh hey Loki lets go outside and play with Drake and Lily. You play with Drake and I will hang out with Lily ok?" "Yeah yeah." So we went outside and I found Lily and we started talking and playing.

Time went on and it was finally dinner time. We heard someone come in and I ran to see who it was. "You guys are back! You guys look tired. What happened?" So they told me they confirmed that it really was Riker and that it was his twin Rinko that died. They said after he apologized then they play fought like old times. It was different without my dad though. "Oh I see. No wonder you all are exhausted except for Rain." "You just watched them right?" "Well that and addressed their wounds. They were a little rougher than last time this happened." "So what is he going to do now?" "Oh well he doesn't know yet. He said that he would keep his brothers name and continue living there. He was mad at first when we came there. But after awhile he noticed that we knew who he really is so he confessed. He apologized for switching places with his brother. He wasn't expecting his brother to die when they switched places though." Said Rain.

"Mommy daddy." Said Lily. "Hi baby. Did you have fun. With Auntie Akela?" "Yeah. Drake played with Loki. I play with Kela." "Its Akela Lily. Sigh I guess I have to have a nickname. I guess Kela will work since she calls me that. Hehe." "Oh before I forget again, my birthday is this Friday. And since it takes a day to get there I was wondering if we can have a night party. At the village. It would be nice to have it at the park with lights hanging." "Yeah that would be a good idea. I'll rent out the park for us." Said Echo. "I'll let Fang and the others know too." "Ok thanks. Echo." So they stayed an visited a little while later then left for the hotel. They had one more day to spend with us before heading back.

Time passed and that day ended quickly. Everyone saw the two off then we headed back. "Ok so when do you want to start the training Akela?" "Oh we won't be having it here when we do. I plan on doing it after school starting Monday. It will be my last days after all." "Ok sounds good." "Until then why don't you get to know Loki a little bit better. You boys seem to get along fine when I was playing with your little sister." "Yeah Sure. I still need to know a little about you to train you." "Oh is that so?" "Yeah." "OK well if you want to know more about me then I have somewhere to take you. I am going to take you to my mom and stepdad's house. I have 4 sisters and brothers I am the oldest then Azula my sister. Some of them can turn human others can. I will introduce you to them when we get there." "Hey uncle Leo Drake and I are going to mom and dad's house." "Ok be careful out there. I will let Loki know when he comes home ok?" "Yeah thanks uncle." So Drake and I left to moms.
