Chapter 25: The truth part (1)

Things finally calmed down and my dad was at Leo's house now. It was mom onyx me Loki Aqua Leo and Kira since he was there as well when he was found. The twins were at Aqua's parents house and Drake was out somewhere with his mom. "Ok dad tell us what happened?" "OK I will tell you all first. Like I said I got my memory back recently when you found me. then I spotted you all and ran. Sorry about that I wasn't sure if I was ready to meet you all yet. OK so I was attacked and I almost died like I said. Then an elderly couple came by with a man close to my age maybe a little younger and that was the last thing I saw before I closed my eyes. When I closed my eyes after I said goodbye to you both I thought that was the end of me. I'm glad you both are safe. Like I said before when I woke up I had no memory. I did however make new memories with that family. I stayed with them for 17 years. The man was 10 years younger come to think of it. He was only a teenager at the time. He was 18 years old. He already had twin boys and was still with his woman. I helped out around the house and did odd jobs so I wasn't a freeloader. I asked what I could do to help. Of course this was after I was better I asked these things. Like I said I was there for 17 years and the babies where only still babies then so they were 17 when I left. They were quite attached to me when I left. The family had a hard time excepting but agreed it would be a good thing for me to get my memories back. When we did things I kept having headaches of bits and pieces coming back but nothing much after. Haha there was this lady around my age who was interested. I told her that I when I got my memory back I would come back and give her an answer. Her name is Evi. She is 2 years younger than me. I told her I am going back home to get my memories." "So what answer will you give her?" "Uh I don't know yet. I told myself I would talk to you alone if its ok with onyx here before I make my decision." "Yeah that would be best. Make your peace since you are back. Its only fair. You are a good friend." "Thanks Onyx."

Then I spoke up. "Mom. Dad. Even if you aren't together anymore, you will still and always be my mom and dad. Onyx you will always be my dad too. I will always have two fathers because I love you all." "Aww thank you sweetie." Said Onyx and dad tearing up. I even saw Kira tearing up. "I saw that uncle." "You didn't see anything." "Anyways Luna when would be a good time?" "Well what about tomorrow afternoon?" "Yeah that would be fine." "Ok sounds good." Then dad talked more about his experiences.

Then it was time for dad and everyone to leave. I ran over to dad and said, "I love you dad. I hope to get to know you more in the future. I want to know what you are really like. I want to go on father daughter dates sometime." "OK we can do that. OH also maybe I will drop in on the training Drake is doing with you ok?" "Cool dad." Then they left first. Then I said goodbye to mom and onyx. I told onyx I loved him and mom too. Then they left. "I think I'm going to go to my room to be alone for a bit. I will see everyone later." "Wait Akela. Before you do are you ok?" said Loki worriedly "Yeah I will be anyway. I just need about an hour alone." "OK then we will leave you alone then." So I went to my room and closed the door.

I cried silently in my room and grabbed my diary. I write down everything that has happened to me in my diaries. I always have about 2 or 3 of them depending on what has been going on.

After I was done writing in my diary, I wrote a letter and sealed it up. I wrote misfits on it. I told them about dad being alive and what happened. That dad will visit when he can. I called a bird over and he saw what it was and new what it was. The bird nodded and flew away. Then finally I joined the others.

"Sorry for worrying everyone. I'm fine now. Oh hi Drake. Are we ready to train?" "Are you feeling up to it? I heard about your dad being alive. Want to call him over?" "Uh he just got home he might not want to but I will go over and ask. Come with me Drake. You can meet my dad." I saw him look at Loki. "Oh its fine you don't have to worry about that. Right Loki?" "Its fine with me. Your just seeing your dad right?" "Yeah just asking if he wants to watch us train." "OK then have fun you two." "Thanks Loki." So we walked toward uncles house.

I knocked on uncles door. (Knock Knock) "Its me Akela." My dad opened the door. "Oh hi dad. We were just coming to see if you wanted to watch me train. We were about to do that." Then I saw uncle coming over. "Actually perfect timing. Loki and I need to head over to the office first and do some more investigating. Go ahead Orion." "OK then Kira's going to be gone and no one will be here so sure." "OK cool." So dad walked with us to the forest.

"OK what should we show your dad first that you can do?" "Oh first I want to show him that I can do it by making ice cover my fists then show off my abilities." "OK then are you ready?" "Yes Master." "Go ahead then." "OK dad watch ok?" "OK honey." I closed my eyes and ice formed around my fists. Dad was sitting at the moment but stood up when he saw. "Its true then. She really has my ice power." "Yes and we are thinking her body is weakening because she may have your fire power as well. She already has her moms moon power." "Yes I have heard. OK very good Akela. Now show me what you can do." I broke the ice of my fists and said, "I am still not good at aiming so you might want to stay a good distance." I warned dad. "Ok then go ahead." He said once he was at a safe distance. Then I started shooting off icicles for a little bit then stopped. "Very good. Once you learn to aim you can practice freezing things. Hey drake mind if I help out on training as well?" "Sure if you want. I don't mind. Its up to Akela." "I think it would be awesome." "OK then. Next time you train I will help out." Then we all went back to the house.

A few days later I got a letter. I opened it and it said

Dear Akela

How have you been? We haven't been able to visit awhile. I can't believe your father is really alive! In about a week or so we will come by and visit. Then we will give your dad an earful maybe beat him up a bit for you. Tell your dad we say hi. Looking forward to getting the gang back together again.

Love The misfits. P.s. Show this pic to your dad. I will give him one when we return and we will get another with him in it.

It also had a recent picture of them in it. Then I saw a man I recognized in it. "Rinko? Good. I'm glad he made up with the others and joined them again. I'm happy." I took the picture out and put it in my pocket.

When I came out of my room I saw Loki and uncle. They didn't look to happy. "Loki? Uncle? What's wrong?" I said worriedly. "It's a good thing Leo and Aqua anything I got a letter from the misfits. A picture as well. I send a letter to them before letting them know dad was alive. So they sent a letter back. Here read it before you tell me anything." I gave the letter to uncle and he read it silently. "I see so they are coming here in a couple of weeks then. Good we don't have to go there then." "What do you mean go there? What is going on uncle? What happened?" "Its good we are talking about the misfits. Cause one of the misfits did this to your father. We have evidence to suggest one of them betrayed your father." "Why would….why would anyone betray him?" "Do you really not know Akela? I heard you pause for a moment." "Well I just have a guess I'm not sure If its him or not. Fine I will tell you. I was thinking it was this guy. I pointed to a man. His name is Rinko but that is not his real name. His twin took the fall for him. Apparently you all thought it was him and maybe he is the one taking revenge for his dead brother." "I see. Yes he is the one that evidence shows hurt your father. Since they are going to be coming here in a couple of weeks I am part of the gang I will talk to him about it."

The next day dad came back after talking to mom. He told me he made piece with mom and that soon he will be heading back over to where the woman was. If I wanted to join him. "Father are you sure you want me to meet her?" "Yes I want your opinion on her. She doesn't know about you yet and I want you to meet her. She also has a daughter your age from a previous relationship. Her daughters name is Nixie." "Oh is that so. I guess I could. Dad there is something I have to confess. I sent a letter to the misfits and told them you were alive. I just got a letter back from them I want you tor read it then I have something to show you." "Ok sure." I gave him the letter and he read it. "Well I should be back by then. I might even bring them over with me." "Good so you will be home. Let me tell Loki and Leo. Oh before I do dad I told you I would show you something. Look at this." I showed dad the picture and he said, "They haven't changed. Maybe a few wrinkles but not much." I saw dad in tears. "Ok here's the picture back." Then I ran out back and told them what was going on. Loki said, "Well be safe out there ok? Here take this." "What is it? A good luck charm. I made it for you." "Aww thanks Loki. I will keep it in my pocket always. I'm not going today dad said he would pick me up." "Ok well anyway keep that with you ok?" "Yes Loki I will."

The next few days dad finally came. I got packed ahead of time for a few days. We were already outside, Leo aqua the twins were seeing us off. Oh and Loki as well of course. I said goodbye to Leo and Aqua then they went inside. Then dad left for a few minutes since he could read a mood. "Ok well. I will be gone for a few days." "Yeah don't forget to write." "Oh come on. I will be home before the letter even got to you. Just think of it as a vacation for me. You said I needed one right?" "Yeah good point." "Oh come here you." I gave him a kiss on the lips seeing how worried he was for me. Then I hugged him tight. "I will miss you too. Now don't go looking at other girls when I'm gone got it?" I joked. "haha maybe I will. There might be some cute ones out there." Loki joked. "Oh you. If I find out you are going to regret it." "I said I was just kidding jeeze." He grabbed me and kissed me again. Then he hugged me tight. "OK I gotta go now. I got my charm with me." "Ok good. I'll see you in a few days ok?" "Yes Loki you will." Then we headed out and I waved goodbye and we left. Loki watched until she was out of sight.

It took about 2/12 3 days to get to our destination. He told me he wanted to stop by the peoples house that took him in. So we got there and he knocked on the door. (Knock Knock) A man opened the door. "Tian is that you?" "Yeah its me. I got my memory back. Can she come in too?" "Yes of course come in." We sat on the couch and the man brought his parents out. "Oh Tian your back! You got your memory back huh?" "Yeah. I did. I came here to tell you about it. Let me start by introducing this one. This is my daughter Akela. She is 17 years old. My real name is Orion. Her mothers name is Luna. She remarried since she thought I died. I don't blame her. She married a good man named Onyx I told him to take care of her if anything happened to me. Then he told them all about what he remembered and what happened when he was found. "Should we call you Orion then?" "Yeah I would appreciate that thanks." "Ok then. Good to see you back even if its just for a couple of days." "Yeah I'm actually here to see Evi and introduce Akela to her and her daughter. I wanted to know Akela's first impression of them. Maybe have her spend some time with Nixie see if they get along." "Yeah that sounds like a plan. I take it you made piece with your ex-wife then?" "Yes I did. That is why I can give her an answer after my daughter spends some time with them." "Well then. Akela. My name is Killian. Kill for short." "Weird Nick name but nice to meet you. Thank you for keeping my father alive and giving me the chance to see him again. As they say better late than never right? So I heard you have kids my age where are they now? I'd love to meet them." "Oh they are around. You will meet them at dinner." "Oh cool. Ok then I will see them then. Dad when are we going to meet Evi?" "Oh excited are we?" "Dad if its someone your interested in I'm sure she is just as interesting." "Haha your right about that Akela." Then dad and I left on the way to see her.

We went to an interesting house. It was made of stone but what its put together with is different. So I decided to ask dad. "Hey dad. What is her house made of? It looks different than the others." "Yeah she built this one herself maybe ask her I never asked." "Ok then." He knocked on the door. (Knock Knock) Then a girl my age opened the door. "Oh hello Tian. Come in. She can come in too don't worry." "Ok good. I came to see your mom is she home?" "Yeah she is in the kitchen. You can sit on the couch." Said Nixie. "Mom! You got company!" Mom came rushing over. "Oh Tian. Good to see you. Have you got your memory back?" "Yes I have." "Ok let me get cleaned up and I will join you. Nixie keep them company why I do that ok?" "Yes mom." She left and dad said. "Nixie its true I got my memory back. My real name is Orion. This is my daughter Akela. Akela this is Nixie." "A pleasure to meet you." I said. "Likewise. Do you want to hang out sometime when my mom and your dad want to be alone? I'm sure they would soon." "Yeah I don't want to see my dad be to lovey dovey gross." "Hey now. I'm right here you know." "Sorry dad." "Oh here comes my mom." Then dad told her all about what happened and who he really was and who I was. "Well nice to meet you Akela. You seem like a nice girl." "Thank you Miss Evi." "Oh call me Evi. Take out the miss. Nice to meet you too." "Hey mom can I hang out with Akela why you and Orion talk?" "Yes honey we will leave why you two have fun ok? We won't be far. You know where I will be ok? Akela if you need your father we will be in the park. I'm sure Nixie will guide you." "Thanks Evi." "No problem." They left, me and Nixie hung out. She was a bit more chipper than I thought she would be.

After awhile dad and Evi came back. "Hey girls. Did you two get along." "Oh yeah we are like long lost sisters right Nixie?" "Hehe yep." "If you don't mind me asking Evi It might be a hard subject but what happened to Nixie's father?" "Akela you shouldn't ask that." Said dad. "NO its fine. Its normal. He died in an accident when Nixie was 5 years old." "Oh I'm sorry. I didn't know." "NO its fine. Nixie was in the accident as well. The right arm she has may look and act real but its not. Its fake. "Oh I am so sorry." "Its ok I said. Nixie has made peace with it." "I may not remember much but I remember my dad laying there and screaming for him not to die and his last words to me. Take care of your mom. Be the woman your mom and I hope you would be. I love you my little Nixie girl." I cried when I heard what she said. "Its all good now. Like mom said I made peace with it. Sorry I know I've been told I'm chipper but I stay that way to keep myself happy." "Now I understand. Thank you. Dad I really like them. I would be happy for you and Evi to be together. I would love Nixie as a sister." I hugged dad then it turned into a group hug. "My new family." Then dad told them about taking them back with us and they agreed. "OK will tomorrow be ok?" "Yes that would be fine. Nixie has a bunk bed so you can bunk in her room ok?" "Yes thank you."
