Chapter 1

Kira was humming to herself as she hurried home after a long day of practicing her music. She was happy because her mother wood finally be home from Florida. As she ran through an ally, she was suddenly grabbed from behind.
"Well, well" a voice whispered in her ear, "What do we have here".
"LET ME GO" Kira screamed as she struggled against an iron like grip. Who are you?"
"I'm the man who is going to take you away."
Kira felt a flash of fear at those words, why was this happening? Who was this guy, and why was he after her.
"KIRA" a woman screamed.
Looking over her shoulder, Kira was surprised to see her mom running toward her.
"Let my girl go you creep!"
Holding tightly to Kira's wrist, the man spun around so he was behind her, and pulled a gun, pointing it at the woman running at them.
"Stop" he growled, "or your dead".
Kira blinked as without breaking stride, her mom jumped clear over her and the man behind her. Upon landing her mom delivered one heck of a punch to the back of the head of the monster who would dare attack her daughter. Kira couldn't believe how easily her mother had taken down the man that had grabbed her.
"Kira sweet heart, are you ok?"
"I'm ok mom", Kira said hugging the older woman. "Um mom, where did you learn to jump like that?"
With a smile the woman dressed in a pink blouse and skirt shook her head.
"I promise I ll tell you some day, but not right now. For now let's get home."
Nodding Kira followed her mom to a dark blue 4-door compact.
"So mom, how was your business trip?"
"Quite tiring, sometimes I wonder at the wisdom of starting a mobile animal health care clinic."
"Don't worry mom. I m so proud of you."
"Thinks sweetie that means a lot to me."
As they drove along chatting about their day, Kira suddenly felt a familiar surge of energy, and glancing down she noticed to her surprise that her dino gem was glowing once more. What could that mean? Dr. O had said the energy in their gems had been all used up when they defeated messagog, but here she was with a glowing dino gem. She would need to call Dr. O, Conner, Ethan, or even Trent as soon as she could.
"Kira sweetie", her mother said startling her.
"What's that?"
"Oh! I found this gem my first year of high school" Kira explained.
"Ok, then why is it glowing like that?"
"I don't know, I ll need to ask Dr. Oliver tomorrow."
"Oliver? Tommy Oliver?"
"Yes, mom is something wrong?" she asked as her mom had turned pale.

An: so that's the first chapter done. I'm curious, who do you think Kira's mother is. As of the writing of this chapter I haven't decided who she is yet, although it looks like she is a former ranger. Please review, this is my first story ever, and I want to hear what other people think about my story. I will be updating this story once a week until I run out of ideas, and that could take a while.
