Summary: Aurora is in college, spending only her weekends and vacations in Crystal Springs. After since Andros' reunion with his children, Blaecleah kept quiet, but peace never lasts for long.

Phantom Rogue: Well, I answered your question about Viathe being Billy's granddaughter already. Boarding school is fun, but I'd miss my mommy too much. :P Beeping noise? What beeping noise:P

Juzblue: Why does everyone keep apologize for missing a review? It's OKAY! You reviewed this one and that makes me happy, because you're still reading! Yes, I'm planning to make a story about the Element Rangers, might be a series too.

Arwennicole: Glad you like the future.

The-power-of-love: Glad you liked it.

DizneeDol: Well, here's my update.

Melissa: I never said you needed to reread immediately!

It Was Just The Beginning

Chapter 24

"What's that beeping noise coming from?" Aurora questioned.

"Um, I believe it's one of my teammates trying to contact me." Gwyn admitted.

"Why don't you answer?" Ray asked, when Gwyn didn't move.

"I'm not really supposed to let you know who I really am…" Gwyn admitted softly.

Aurora and Ray sniggered and Gwyn smiled innocently, before finally getting up and walked into the hallway. When she returned she had a beeping device in her hands. Glancing around the room for a moment, she took a deep breath and opened the connection.

"Finally!" A voice came through clearly and Gwyn visibly relaxed. "I thought you weren't going to answer – you weren't, were you?"

"Sorry Vi, I was scared you were someone else…" Gwyn replied sheepishly.

"Okay, Gwyn… what did you do this time?" The other sounded amused.

"The thing Hean kept telling me not to?" Gwyn answered innocently.

The other girl laughed melodiously.

"Kirl didn't exactly listen to him either. Hean is furious… it's kind of scary. I cannot believe how Kirl can stay so calm. If Hean would turn that look on me, I'd start running."

"Kirl's used to it." Gwyn sniggered.

"So are you." The other girl shot back. "But anyway, that's not what I was calling for."

"I figured." Gwyn replied, still grinning.

"How are things going back there?"

"Well, they didn't completely freak when they found out who I was and Aurora's woken up again. I believe they're okay with my cousins again…" Gwyn said, trailing off as she looked at Aurora, who, to her relief, nodded. "But the team's still split in two."

"Well, it's better than we expected… right? Anyway, what about Mack?"

"Rora claims she probed him after Kirl came to her and told her how to."

"Ah… So that's the full story on Kirl's misadventure… So are you going to tell the others about their special powers?"

"Of course! Semjara made a mistake letting them find everything out themselves. It hurt far too many people too deeply for me not to interfere."

"'Kay. I'll report it to Kirl - he can tell Hean, since he's so 'experienced' in dealing with him; I swear, that boy could give someone nightmares…"

"You do that." Gwyn laughed. "Tell the team I said hi."

"I will, later."

"Bye."

Gwyn cut the connection and smiled brightly. She could expect an angry call from Hean soon, but Kirl would make sure he'd be calmed down a bit before he'd let Hean call.

"She didn't sound too angry." Kayla commented, giggling.

"Viathe and Kirl know me too well to know this was to be expected, but I really was the only one they could send." Gwyn answered, a small grin on her face.

"Why?"

Gwyn shifted uncomfortably at that answer, immediately giving the impression she wasn't supposed to tell. Just then Ray reminded she had looked different when she had come to tell him Aurora would be all right.

"Ghosting." He muttered softly, but it carried through the whole room.

Gwyn looked at him and smiled a little.

"What's ghosting?" Dakota asked, looking seriously confused.

"Changing your looks - it's a rare genetical Karovan power." Aurora explained. "It's fun, I just never really use it. Ray doesn't either. Just, uh, don't tell anyone."

Their three cousins looked at each other and nodded. Suddenly Chaitlin grinned.

"What more are you guys hiding from us?" She asked.

"More than you'll ever believe if you don't see it." Aurora grinned back.

A/N: Hope you liked it. Review.
