I left the kitchen and saw Aubrey sitting down on the couch reading a book. I sat next to her and she looked up and smiled. "Hey, how'd your lesson go with Gordon?"

"Terrible." I stated "I learned so many secrets that I don't think I even wanted to know. I don't know if I'm cut out for this."

She sat up and put her book down "True, I've only been here on earth as long as you but my mother told me something before she died."

I looked at her intently; Aubrey hardly spoke about her parents after they were killed in a car accident.

"She said 'Aubrey we all have a purpose and a destiny, it's up to us whether we accept it or run away from it.'"

I laid back into the couch and snuggled in, she was right. In my heart I knew this was my destiny but in my brain this was crazy. Aubrey gave me and encouraging smile and I sat up and went back to the kitchen. Gordon looked at me seriously "Ready to learn more?"

I closed my eyes and couldn't believe I was doing this. I opened them and nodded.

"Follow me," Gordon said walking out the door, I followed him outside and we walked into the training arena.

I gasped in awe at the room. It climbed higher than the tree's and there seemed to be everything a hero would need. An area to work out; including a treadmill, barbells, and a yoga mat. A place to swim which looked like and ordinary lake. A huge mountain made for climbing and then a random table in a corner. I walked over to the table "Why is this here randomly?"

"You'll see soon." He answered. "This is where all your training will take place; you even have your own room right next to the lake."

I looked towards the cabin and looked at Gordon for permission to go inside. He nodded and I ran towards it. I tried to open the door but couldn't "it's locked." I said.

Gordon shook his head "No, it's not. This is where your first lesson comes in."

I felt disappointed; I wanted to swim in the lake not play a mind game. "What's that?"

"Part of your power is elements. They are the core of what you have. Look around and try to use something to get yourself in."

I groaned and gave Gordon a look but he just stood back. I looked around and saw a stick. I picked it up with my hands and hit the door with it. I felt a force fling me back and I fell down.

"You can't damage you're room True, Gordon explained "Embrace yourself. Realize the reality of what you can do."

I picked up rocks and kept throwing them at the door. They all had the same reaction as the stick and soon I was tired of being thrown around. Gordon just watched patiently as I saw the sun high above us, it was noon and I was hungry. "I think that's enough for today." I begged Gordon.

He shook his head "Not until you go see your room."

I rolled my eyes and pouted my lip then with a determined look and stared down the door. I heard the water behind me and felt a calming breeze. I turned around and lifted the water. I allowed it to surround me as I allowed water to seep through the door. I felt my slef becoming the water as I slinked into my room. I changed back into my human form and saw the water disappear. Not a drop in my room was wet. I opened the door and Gordon came in. "Congratulations, you passed the first test."

"Wow," I exclaimed. "I didn't know I could do that, how did I do that?"

"Naturally you know a lot of things," Said Gordon "The Nelum species knows everything, however you have to do the right activities to unleash the knowledge. You also have to accept yourself for who you are."

I had then. Right before I walked into my room. I accepted myself as a Nelum.

"Now come on." Gordon said leaving "I'm starving and Aubrey has made a delicious tomato soup and breadsticks."

"You go ahead." I said "I want to stay here for a minute longer."

"Suit yourself." He grumbled.

My room was very much like a cabin. There were two windows so very little light came in. I looked behind me and made sure no one was looking. I lifted my hand and the light brightened enough for me to see my room. (Don't tell anyone I did that.)

My bed reminded me of Goodvalnia. The quilt was on a queen sized bed. It was a Red lining with a white back ground. Each patch told and event. One had people at a picnic having a pie eating contest; another had two little girls pushing each other on swings, my favorite one was a picture of me and Aubrey having our fist lemonade stand. All the pictures came together and made a huge picture of my Mother and Father.

I missed them; I wish they could help me right now. They always had a ways of talking and explaining things to me so I could understand. I gently caressed the edge and felt my eyes sting with tears.

Around the walls were pictures of the palace. King Phillip and Queen Charity portraits also hang up. They were frowning though and I didn't like that. I stared at them and slowly saw the paint change their frown into a gentle smile. I don't know if I had anything to do with that but I was happy they were smiling.

Everything else in the room wasn't anything to gawk at. I had a dresser to put clothes in, a closet for shoes, and mysteriously it had weapons inside it. And then a single carpet in the middle of my room. It was green and had no picture on it. A bathroom was also to the right of my closet.

I walked outside and wallowed over to the kitchen where I was greeted by soup and homemade bread. Aubrey place a hot bowl of soup and some bread sticks by my chair "Well, I was wondering when you were going to come. Eat."

I smiled and started to sip my soup.

"So how does memory chip work?" Nazar asked Louis breathing down his neck "Have we found her yet? It's been almost a week!"

"Yes master," Stuttered Louis "we have, however right now it's picking up a signal that she is in the middle of nowhere."

"How would she get to the middle of nowhere, you despicable, hunchback Nome?" Nazar asked. "It must be broken!"

"It can't be master, I tested it many times and it is indestructible. Plus she can't get rid of the memory chip without killing herself as well." Louis dared to glance and Nazar then quickly looked away and kept looking closer at the location. "I can't explain this, I don't understand." Louis admitted.

Nazar became angry "Well, find out you dirty bag of crap!"

Louis would have sunken into his chair right then but worst things would happen if he did, "May I suggest a different memory chip sir?" he asked timidly.

"Who's?" Nazar challenged.

"Her brothers?" Louis staid stuttering.

Nazar thought for a second then looked at Louis. "He'll be easier to convince but we won't have as much power." He started to calm down.

"We can use him to get True," Louis said gaining his confidence back "She has a soft spot for family."

Nazar nodded, "Find out where the middle of nowhere is. We kidnap the boy at dawn."

I was starting to like being a Nelum. I liked the perks of water bending, shape shifting, and doing all sorts of other fun things. Everything seems to be going great, if I stayed there the rest of my life I would not complain. Unfortunately, life had other plans for me.

I was in the arena doing the cat stretches as a cat when I heard someone call my name "True!"

I turned around and it was Aubrey, I change back into a human and gave her my attention. "True, I'm scared." She said.

"Why?" I asked "you shouldn't feel scared now, I know a lot of my powers, I can do anything."

"Yes, I know but what if Nazar comes, he's very tricky." she said.

I shrugged "well your right." Then I smiled at her "What if the sky caught fire or your nose fell off?" I asked her.

She smiled "You quoted that from Pocahontas."

I smiled back "I know I did but it's still true, Charlie made this place safe too, we'll be fine"

She didn't look convinced. "True I have a feeling he's coming and this time it's going to be worse for everyone."

I gave her a hug "It's hard now, but it will get better and when it does everything will be better than it used to be, we just need to be strong. okay?"

Aubrey looked like she was going to say something but then Guppy came into the arena "True?" he asked "Do you have a brother?"

I pulled out of the hug and looked at Guppy funny "Not since I last checked."

"You better come here then." he said. I stood up and followed him inside to the living room.

There was a boy in the middle tied to a chair surrounded by Charlie and his family.

He was cute, but a boyish cute. He had brown hair with a soft green eyes and a curious dimple on his left cheek. He looked fairly skinny and his smile ended with a snarl.

He stared at me with pleading eyes "True," he started to say but Charlie covered his mouth. "Don't talk" He warned.

The boy obeyed and stayed silent still pleading loudly with his eyes.

"Who is he?" I asked Guppy.

"He claims to be your brother," He replied.

"Does he now?" I said pulling up a chair in front of the boy, by now the whole group was in the house eagerly waiting to see what was happening. "You have 5 min to tell me why your here and who you really are." I nodded at Charlie and Charlie released his hand.

"Go." I said

The boy started to stutter in a higher toned voice "M-m-my N-name is Arthur Heart and I am your brother. I heard that you can do some weird stuff like I can. Please don't throw me out."

He stopped talking. I looked at Arthur and I wasn't sure if I believed him but he looked friendly enough.

"Heart?" I emphasized "I never known someone to have the same last name as me."

"I'm your brother, we were separated at birth." He claimed a little too quickly.

I looked at Gordon for an explanation.

"Well," He admitted "Bethesda is your mom, but she wasn't the only angel –"

"Got it." I replied. No one else knew about Nazar being my dad and I didn't want them too. "Alright, Arthur. Why do I know you just now?"

"I've been looking for you. I heard I had a little sister and I just had to see you." He said.

My heart melted. That meant a lot to me but he may just be doing this for an audience.

"Excuse me," He said interrupting my thoughts "But these ropes are cutting into my wrist."

"Charlie, loosen the ropes please." Charlie gave me an unsure look "Trust me," I said.

Charlie and his family; loose the ropes and Arthur stood up "Thank you so much-"

I cut him off "Sit down," I commanded and Arthur sat. "How did you hear of me?" I asked him.

"Our father, King Nazar." After he said that everyone started to murmur and whisper, I couldn't concentrate so I needed them to leave "Everyone out!" I yelled but everyone looked scared so I gave a pitiful smile "please?"

Everyone left and it was just Arthur and I. "King Nazar could have lied to you, why do you trust him?" I asked.

"Because," Arthur started "He's my dad and he's yours too."

"He may be my biological father," I told him "but he's not my dad."

Arthur frowned "but think of what he could teach you," he said "You are so much more powerful than anyone in the world."

"I know my power and how he wants to use it is wrong. Besides, How are you related to him? Bethesda only had one child."

He looked down "Bethesda wasn't my mother. It was a different Angel named Gabriella."

"Is she a Henith too?"

"Ya."

It was an awkward silence.

"Does that mean you're a Nelum as well?" I asked.

He straightened up "Yes, I can do everything you can do."

No way, that couldn't be real. So I decided to test him. I through a book and him from the shelf 10 feet away, he put his hand out and blew it up and it exploded with a loud pop.

"All the powers you have, "he snickered "I have them too with a few exceptions."

I transformed into a lion ready to attack, he turned into a cheetah ready to defend. I transformed back into myself thinking of what else I could test him at, he transformed back into himself as well.

He saw a vase and picked up the water and splashed it on my face. "Excuse me!" I yelled. I brought out water from the faucet and splashed it on him and soon we were having a water fight.

Once we were both drenched we laughed and sat down. I thought about Nazar and my face went serious.

"Dose Nazar know your here?" I asked him carefully.

He stood up and started to walk towards me causing me to sink back into the couch. "Oh, Father knows your here and he still wants you as his queen."

The way he labeled him as 'father' made me realize he wasn't here to help me.

There was a rumbling upstairs I began to panic, Arthur grinned "He's here!" he ran outside and I followed him only to see Nazar, he was alone at first "Hello True." He said "I seen you've met Arthur."

"What are you doing here?" I asked protectively.

"I've come to ask you to reconsider the offer again." He said pacing around me.

Arthur was in front of me smiling.

"You have one minute to take Arthur and yourself and leave." I answered.

"Is that a no?" Nazar asked. "I don't think you'll like the result of that answer."

"Leave!" I commanded.

He shrugged and snapped his fingers. Two horses started to emerge and a cage on wheels showed up. I saw Shelby and Guppy trapped in the cage and Gordon was tied up on a horse with a guard. "So True," Nazar coaxed "Are you sure that's your final answer?"

I immediately tried to hypnotize him then I got a headache. "Finally know your powers?" he mocked "True, True, True, you seem to have a very good teacher, only two weeks and already you know." he glanced over at Gordon and gave him an approving look. Gordon just glared at him.

I changed into a snake and charged at him. He pulled a clear, see though box with holes punched in out of thin air and trapped me in.

"I know all your powers and seem to know your next move, you can't stop me." Nazar started on his horse with me in his lap pointed towards my friends.

How did I fall for that? I looked over at my friends. Gordon, Shelby, Guppy. Where were Aubrey, Charlie and his family? I smiled, they never got caught.

I heard psst and saw Charlie.

He winked at me and his family ambushed everyone. Half of his siblings attacked the guards while the other half tried to unlock everyone else, but they couldn't exactly reach. Charlie pounced onto Nazar who fell off the horse as a result and grabbed me "We could use some help" he said as he opened the cage.

I slithered out and turned into my normal self again. I saw Aubrey fighting with one of the guards, thinking she was okay I fought against the other guards for Guppy and Shelby. We got them out and Charlie's family hid them with Gordon.

Everyone had escaped and Nazar got on his horse next to Arthur, "We'll be back!" he threatened "Or maybe you'll come to us," He pulled Aubrey up by the hair, "Aubrey will be so lonely." He laughed as he rode off.

"Aubrey!" I yelled running after her.

Gordon, who had just come out of hiding, pulled me back "True, we need a plan, no one wants to save her more than me but we need to have a set plan."

I stopped struggling, I knew he was right but her face looked so scared as he rode away, it was painful to watch and sketched into my head. I went inside and looked at everyone else. Charlie stood on a table and looked around "Where's Aubrey?"

"She's been captured." I announced.

Everyone started talking at one and gradually the tone go louder and louder until I screamed "QUIET!"

Everyone was silent.

"It's hard but we will get through this. I need you to all support me and calm down." I said "Charlie, thank you for saving us, I don't know what we would have done."

Charlie, who was now on the floor, looked up at me "Not everyone. Great protector what is your next plan?"

"We are going to get Aubrey out." I said trying to think of a good plan on the spot.

Shelby rolled her eyes and groaned; I looked at her "You have a better idea?"

"Doesn't this seem to be a routine?" Shelby said "We go in for a rescue, someone else gets kidnapped. We need to go in planning to leave with victory."

I smiled "Exactly, but first we need to see what we are up against."

This time Guppy cut in "Haven't you already seen that?" He argued

"He could be more powerful," I said.

Charlie heaved a sigh "Do you even have a plan?"

Gordon stepped in "Let us decide the plan True; we can't trust you anymore after this incident."

"Guys, wait. That isn't fair." Everyone started to leave the room and gathered in the kitchen.

I frowned and walked too my cabin and lay on the bed. I felt so alone, how could they doth is to me? I do a lot for them, I thought, I'm their protector, at least that's what they think and if they expect me to be some hero, they shouldn't get their hopes too high, I'm just a girl. Only 16. How do they expect me to be a hero? I've always been clumsy, I can't seem to do anything right. Why did they choose me?

They chose me! They kidnapped me! So it was their fault right? They picked the wrong girl, Nelum, whatever I was.

I heard footsteps come around my cabin then Shelby's voice "Nice job Guppy," she said "You found the wrong Nelum."

"How was I supposed to know?" fought Guppy "She's the only one powerful enough to stop him."

"Okay, Okay!" Gordon snapped looking at everyone "She is the one, but she's still in training, and better her to learn from us than Nazar."

Charlie spoke out "I say we take her back to her house in Goodvalnia."

"And give easy prey to Nazar?" Gordon cut off. "It could put us all in danger

Charlie nodded "not if you all stick with me, my family is invincible" he said. "We can trade with him, Aubrey for True!"

Everyone but Gordon started to cheer.

I sat up and looked out the window, this couldn't happen, my friends were turning on me. I didn't want to be in Nazar's grasp again, he'd probably put a memory chip in my brain or worse. Being in hell itself is better than that place, and he won't treat me as nice I'm sure of it and he could find a way to force me against everyone I love, I started to think of a new plan to get out.

Charlie barged in, "True!" he yelled "Time to go home." He put a bag of that chloroform stuff over my head and I blacked out.
