Phantom Rogue: Meeting my future/past self. Now that would be cool! Lucky for Ciana she's a baby and won't remember meeting her future self, now that would be bad! Of course she'll be told all about it by everyone.

It Was Just The Beginning

Chapter 22

Aurora propped herself on the edge of Ray's bed and stroked a few hairs from his face. Then an idea popped into her head and she made a power probe, praying it would work. Pushing the probe to Ray's presence, she noticed both her and his necklaces started to glow for a second. When the glow faded, Ray's eyes fluttered open.

"Aurora?" he murmured weakly, eyes blearily blinking.

"That's my name, don't wear it out. Now sit up so I can give you a proper hug."

"Aurora!" Ray exclaimed happily, fully waking up and sitting to hug his sister. "I just had the strangest dream. There was some ninja named Avine behind the wheel of that truck that hit you and she was fighting the rangers and I went to help, but she struck me down and I demorphed, but when she brought down her sword to kill me this yellow ranger showed up, saving my life and defeated Avine and then she turned out to be Ciana and… and…"

"That was no dream, Ray." Gwyn interrupted, staring at Aurora intensely.

"Ciana." Ray breathed, catching sight of the girl that saved his life. "You're really here.'

"We've dubbed her Gwyn, since two Cianas gets confusing." Aurora explained, still not taking her eyes of her brother.

Ray smiled and nodded, noticing Gwyn had yet to stop looking at Aurora.

"Something wrong?" He asked, fear rising as if an ice-cold iron hand had taken hold of his heart.

"No, it's just…" Gwyn started, looking hesitant. "How did you know how to do that, Rora? That could not have been accidentally… and you shouldn't have known about your special abilities of the Zodiac powers yet."

Aurora turned to look at her, her eyes searching as if to see if she should tell her or not. A small rush of relief ran through Gwyn when she opened her mouth.

"While I was out, I was seeing these flashbacks and in one of them this guy came to me. He told me Mack was dying and I was the only one who could help. He told me I could probe my power and share it with others. He told me if I probed Mack, the power would heal him, saving his life."

"Did he tell you his name by any chance?"

"No." Aurora sighed. "But there was a wind that seemed to be saying something sounding like 'Curl'."

"KIRL!" Gwyn exclaimed, an expression of mixed emotions flashed over her face.

"Yeah, that's it. You know him?" Aurora inquired.

"He can make the wind talk, like I can with the thunder. Not many people listen closely enough to hear the message. I'm surprised you read it." Gwyn muttered, rubbing her forehead angrily.

"So you know him?" Aurora pressed.

"Know him?" Gwyn snorted. "School system's going to be a lot different by the time I turn 10. I shared a room with him for a year. He's one of my two closest friends and our spare ranger. Controls the element of air."

"You promised me you'd tell me about your team." Aurora reminded, getting more curious by the minute.

"Maybe it's better if we'd go downstairs so everyone can hear and I only need to tell once." Gwyn sighed, though she wore a small smile on her face. "You might want to take those covers with you, Ray. I know you too well to know you won't stay up here waiting for Aurora to relay it to you."

Ray smiled and scrambled out of bed as fast as he could. Aurora grabbed the covers and draped them around his shoulders. The three quickly made their way downstairs. Flashes of relief crossed everyone's faces when they noticed Ray.

"You should be in bed, young man." Ashley tried to tell her son off sternly, but failed miserably.

"But Gwyn's going to tell about her team." Ray argued.

When Ashley just smiled, she dropped down next to her on the couch were she was sitting next to Andros and he leaned against her. Aurora dropped down next to Andros, shooting a look and smile at her, now sleeping again, baby sister whom lay curled up in her father's arms.

Gwyn let herself dropped to the ground on the spot, folding her legs in the process.

"Okay." She started, taking a deep breath. "With my team I of course meant my ranger team. It's back to six rangers again, though we started out with the 'normal' five. I guess it all started when I met Kirl, our spare ranger, kinda like uncle Zhane…"

A/N: HA, you'll have to wait for Gwyn's story! Hope you liked it. Review.
