Summary: Mornie utúlie. Believe and you will find a way. Mornie alantie. A promise lives within you now. He went on a mission never to return again. Or so they said.
The real vampire: Always.
Phantom Rogue: Sorry, but I only update once every 24 hours. :P
Arwennicole: More is on the way.
Ghostwriter: Glad you liked it.
Jenny: I'm not even going to react to that. Glad you liked the mixed colour idea.
AbareKiller: I said most, not all, so it doesn't cover violet and orange. Okay, so maybe there is a very small chance of 0,001 that he's alive and coming back, but that doesn't mean he is. You'll find out in chapter 16.
LucyE: There won't be much fighting in this story, nor much of their mission, but Part 2 of the Zodiac rangers should cover those things a little more. I picked Aurora to be leader because she's the eldest and the daughter of the original leader, but also to create a bond between her and the other children, since she doesn't even know how most of them are. The only once she really knows are Ray (naturally) and Chaitlin. Chaitlin is going to play an important part, but I won't reveal what that is.
What Was Lost
Chapter 14
Aurora smiled as she walked back into the hotel. They were staying in Dublin, in the same hotel where the conference had been held last weekend. They had spent the whole day in Dublin, shopping, sightseeing and such. Now it was evening and they had decided to bring their stuff to the hotel before going out for dinner.
"Excuse me. Who of you is Aurora A. Hammond?" The receptionist asked.
"That's me." Aurora replied.
"There's a letter for you."
Aurora looked over at Ashley strangely. Who would be sending her a letter here? Not even Genesis had the address of the hotel.
She handed her bags to her mother, walked over to the receptionist and took the letter.
"Thank you." She said.
As they walked to the elevator she opened the letter and stopped dead in her tracks when she saw what it said.
"Aurora? Are you okay?" Ray asked, watching his sister's face paling.
Wordlessly Aurora handed her brother the letter. Ashley looked over her son's shoulder to read it too. It was a simple note, starting with only the sign of Cancer and read: 'Pas op! Mornie útulie. Wees op je hoede'. (A/N: Beware! Darkness has come! Be on your guard!)
"How?" Aurora whispered, tears and a fearful look in her eyes.
"Come on." Ashley urged, pushing both Aurora and Ray into the elevator.
It was as if a stone had been dropped into her stomach. The words, it was very ancient Karovan. Not many Karovans knew it, Andros had been one of the few, but then again Andros had been one of the few in many things and she had been the only one to know. Not even Zhane and Karone had know Andros could read and write that ancient Karovan, nor had they known Andros could do Astral Projection.
Astral Projection, he could not teach her, you just had it or you didn't, but the ancient Karovan, he had taught her, her and Aurora and they had taught Ray. When they had found out Aurora could do Astral Projection, Andros had taught her how to control it and made sure she knew not to use it when the others were around.
When Ray had ended up having it too, Aurora had taught him, but since the others weren't around anymore, both of them had used it more freely.
Once at their rooms Aurora came back to her senses and turned to Ashley.
"Who could've sent it? They even knew the first letter of my middle name and you said only you and dad knew I had one."
"I don't know, sweetheart. No one I know, that's for sure." Ashley sighed.
"Do you think, that maybe…" Aurora said, trailing off.
"I doubt it. If that would be true, why hasn't he come home?"
"You're right. Nothing would stop him from coming back to us if he was."
"I desperately want to believe it's true, honey, I really do, but we have to be realistic. Without his morpher, there's no way he could have survived."
"I miss him so." Aurora sighed, a tear rolling down her cheek.
Ashley pulled her daughter into a hug and held her tight for a while. Ray just looked at them. He had heard stories about his father, but he never met him. His father didn't even know he existed. It hurt not having his father around, but not as much as it hurt his mother and sister.

"Sir, we have to retreat. Even without their leader, the rangers are too strong for our troops." Suileabhan urged
"How could this happen?" Blaecleah demanded. "How could they have known I was here?"
"Semjara must have sent them, but if we don't leave now…"
"Alright, alright. I'm coming." Blaecleah growled. "The prisoner?"
"Retrieving him is too dangerous." Suileabhan answered. "And even if we'd get him, it will only attract their attention to him."
"Sent word to the troops to kill him at sight, he knows too much." Blaecleah ordered and disappeared.
A/N: Hope you liked it. Review.
