CHAPTER 2
The revelations about my marks were not really much of surprises anymore. It is my fate to fight my enemies over and over again. I called mom and inform her about some changes that will happen but i didn`t told her much, it is not yet time for her to know everything.
But more, I feel guilty, if what they said was true, I dragged the rangers to fight my battles.
I was so deep in thought that I didn't notice Billy walked towards me. ``Mia`` he called but he got no response from me. So he decided to tap my shoulder. That is when I fully noticed his presence. ``oh, I'm very sorry Mr. Cranston, I didn't notice you.`` I said in embarrassed tonet. He smiled.
``it is okay, call me uncle, Mia. I would prefer you calling me that.`` He said
``But?``
He shook his head, ``No buts Mia, I want you to call me that, okay.``
I looked at him but nodded at the same time.
``Mind to tell me what are you thinking?`` he asked.
I sighed. ``Aren`t you mad at me? I am the one who had gave you those powers that made you suffer.``
Billy looked at me. ``We never blamed anyone when we became power rangers. When we are chosen we took the opportunity to save people`s lives even if we get hurt. Besides we don`t want our future to suffer because we didn't do anything.`` he looked away while smiling. ``I am honored to be chosen as a Power ranger,Mia, and I do believe that everyone of us have the same thoughts that is why we are here. We will fight for the world where we live in, where we grow up. So you don`t have to feel guilty when we became the power ranger. We chose it not because of you but because we wanted to.``
Mia smiled.``I just couldn't help it. I dragged you all to my mess, to my battle.``
``that`s right, but the late vessel might have done it because she needed help in defeating his minions and try to stop feeling guilty, Mia, or else you are helping the enemy to get stronger, right?`` Billy said comically. Mia laughed at this.
``And one thing, I am thankful to become a power ranger, because I became the person who I am now, actually all of us do. Now prepare to go for a trip to Aquitar, Mia, there they will tell you more about the enemy that we will be facing.`` Billy said as he reached for the door.
``Uncle Billy, Thank you.`` Billy smiled at her widely the went out of the door.
I stared outside my window. Things are moving so fast, it is really hard to sink in. My life just keeps on changing, could I ever adapt to this changes that keeps on happening to me. I even don't know how to deal with it anymore.
I sighed. All I keep doing is from the moment I know what I am was just sighing on all the things that had happened and the things that keeps on happening to me. First, my father was just there but I just couldn't have the heart to tell him who I am and then destroy his life. He had accomplished so many things that knowing me might destroy everything.
Second, my decision on coming here at reefside is so sudden that I have stop communicating with my friends. They hate me right now, that`s obvious.
I stood up and gathered my things and put them on the bag. As I packed my clothes, I remembered the person who I thought I am but now I felt that person is slowly fading away. It's as if I am not the Mia I was knew but just a person that they call the celestial vessel.
Am I just a vessel, a vessel that would end up dying once its purpose is finished? Tears started to run down my cheeks.
``Is that how you see things right now. You are slowly becoming weak. `` said a voice on my head. I stop and closed my eyes; it's as if by reflex for me to do that. When I opened my eyes, I am already infront of the images of the four celestial beasts.
``it has been so long, Celestial vessel.`` the dragon said. I looked at them confusion is visible in my expression.
``I thought you are not allowed to stay in one place at a time?`` I asked. I heard them laugh.
``we are a part of you so as you are a part of us. We are different but still one. We are you but you are not us.`` the bird said.
``I don't understand what you are talking about.`` I said.
``We have given you our powers that had made you a part of us, but still you have your own choice to decide on what to do that makes you a different entity. You are not empty, vessel.`` said the turtle.
``The seal had been broken, find your soldiers and destroy him for good. His powers had already weakened due to your rangers' achievement in destroying and sealing his minions. But be warned that his minions will be back and try to kill you.`` The golden tiger said.
``Let go of what you have. Release yourself from your own seal .`` the bird said.
``What do..?``
A sudden light struck my eyes. Then I realized that I am back to my room. Andros who came to check on me had been looking at me and trying to wake me up by shaking me.
``They have contacted you?`` He asked.
I nodded then I shook my head as if trying to remove a bad thought.
``There are so many things I still don't understand it just came in so fast that it is so difficult to sink in in my head.`` I said as I started to cry.
Andros took a deep breath and took me to a warm embrace to comfort me.
``You don't have to understand everything at once. Just take your time, princess, I am here, all of us. No matter what happened we will always be at your side.`` I nodded. It makes me feel better. I don't have to fight this battle alone. I am not alone.
Yes, I have them, Andros, Uncle Billy, Jason, TJ, Mack and Tommy to help me. I am not alone.
`` I am not alone this time.`` Andros didn't understand what she meant but didn't asked further.
But for Mia, she too doesn't know what she meant by that.
