Once again I don`t own Power Rangers
Chapter 7
Tommy is putting his bag on his owner when Jason showed up.
``I got the feeling that your going to where Mia is.`` Jason said as he rode at the passenger sit of Tommy`s car, placing his bag near Tommy`s bag at the back. They were about to go when Conner rode at the back.
``I`m going with you,I want to make sure that she is fine. I called her a while ago. and she told me that she is fine but I want to make sure.``
``Both men looked at him.
``You called her?`` Tommy said.
``On the phone?`` Jason continued.
``Yes.`` Conner answered.
``Where did she get the phone?`` Tommy asked
``I gave it to her.`` Conner said.
``You gave her a phone without telling us.``Tommy yelled.
``What is wrong with it?`` Conner asked.
Both men look at him in disbelief.
``Fine, I sneak it on her bag, the one she kept on using before and Besides, she didn`t tell me where she is so I`m guessing that you two might know.``
Tommy sighed and started the car as they rode going to Panorama.
Mia is laying down outside the house watching the stars, She raised her hand as if reaching for it when Antonio block the view.
``Antonio..`` She smiled at her friend as Antonio sat down beside her. She too, get up to a sitting position and looked at her side.
``I really don`t care on your reason why you just left without saying goodbye to anyone of us.`` Antonio looked at her and smiled. ``The most important is you are okay and you are here right now with us and beside me.``
Mia looked at Antonio intently, this moment is rare. She and Antonio never had a moment like this before. They usually talked about their friends problem particularly Jayden.
``I was so worried about you, chica, you never contacted us, you samuraizer is off so there is no other way for us to know regarding your well being so you can`t blame us if we acted like that a while ago.`` Antonio now is laying down and looking at the dark sky.
``I feel suffocated when I am here in Panorama.`` Mia honestly said as she smile bitterly while looking at the sky.
``What do you mean?``
``Panorama feels like a prison to me, Antonio.``Mia took a deep breath and continued. ``I thought if I go away I would be able to be myself, the real me but...?`` Mia looked at the now sitting Antonio who is looking at her intently, she smiled at him.
``Let`s go inside, it`s getting late.`` Mia stood up and hurriedly went inside without waiting for Antonio.
``She`s about to say something.`` disappointment is shown all over his face as he looked at the door where Mia had retreated. ``What does she mean by being sufocated when she is here in Panorama and not being herself.``
Antonio stood up. ``What really happened to you Mia?``
Mia keeps on turning on her bed, she couldn`t sleep. She get up and went outside the house to the gate and went to the forest. She sat by a tree and stayed there until she heard something on her back, she slowly stood up, hide in the tree branch and prepared herself to attack.
``Mia.`` A man`s voice called.
she relaxed as she recognized the voice. She came out and faced the man.
``Cole, what are you doing here?`` She asked.
``I`m the one whose supposed to be asking that.`` Cole countered as he smiled and seated right next to Mia.
Mia too smiled and seated beside him.
``So, tell me, why are you here instead of staying i the headquarters?``
``Hmnnnn... Before I answer that, I`m curious, how did you know I am here?`` Mia asked.
``I saw you, coming out from the Headquarter at a very early hour. And i`m guessing that you aren`t out to jog with bags hanging in your body, so I followed you here.`` Cole explained. ``And you what are doing here?``
``I couldn`t sleep so I came here.`` Mia answered. She heard sighed and couldn`t help herself to laugh at how Cole reacted to her answer. ``I need to do something here, something to do with me fully gaining the power of the Celestial beasts.``
``Now you`re talking.`` Cole sighed in relief which made Mia laugh even more.
``According to the Aquitarians I have to break a bond within myself to be able to fully access to the power I I do believe that the bond that they are talking about is a bond that I made here in Panorama since I grew up here.``
``I`m guessing, you don`t know what the bond they were talking about.``
Mia nodded. ``I`m not really sure what it is but I`m guessing it has to do with something I left here in Panorama.``
``So you came here and stayed in your firend`s house, how about staying at your parents house?`` Cole asked as he lean on the tree.
``Well, after I did something that they asked me our ties with each other is broken.``
Cole confusely look at her.
``They aren`t my real parents, they adopted me when I was a baby.`` Mia said as he looked up at the sky.
``Is this the place where you can only stay, how about in the hotel?``
``I do have other place, but they went for a vacation. And for the hotel, I don`t have money for that I left the card that Uncle Billy gave me. All I took is the money for my fare coming her.``
``How about your fare going back? You said you only took your fare coming here.`` He asked curiously.
``Oh, that... Ahmmmm... I was about to asked her if she could give me.``
``What if she won`t be back by the time you are done with your mission here?``
``That is... The big problem. But anyway, I know that you won`t go anywhere since I`m here so I have decided that I will just be riding with you going back.`` She smiled sweetly at him as Cole shook his head.
``By the way, what was the clue that the Aquitarians gave you about the bond?``
``They only said that, Break the bond that binds you from who you really are. Break it within and bring out the vessel that you really are.`` Mia looked at him. ``What do you think it means?``
``I`m not good at those, sorry.``Cole thought for a moment. ``How about asking Tommy or the others, I`m sure they could help you figure it out.`` He suggested.
``I can`t, all I keep on doing is asking them for help, so I want to figure out this one for myself.``
``Then why did you tell me?``
``You asked so I just answered.`` She sarcastically answered which earned her a slight nudge from the guy which made them both laugh.
``It`s nice to see you smiling, Mia. From the moment I saw you, you had been clouded with sadness and doubt and everytime I catch glimpse of you looking at Tommy I can see fear in your eyes.`` Cole said as he stood up. Mia looked at him as he took the bag he set aside and took two blanket at the bag. And give one to Mia.
``It`s getting cold.``
``Thanks.`` Mia put the blanket around her shoulder and lean on the tree.
``So tell me, why is it that I see fear in your eyes everytime you look at Tommy?`` He asked as he once again sit on Mia`s side.
``I already told you that I was adopted, wasn`t it?`` Cole nodded.
``Both my parents are teenagers when I was born, my mom died in a car accident when i was still a month old. And my father left Panorama without knowing that my mother was pregnant.``
``What does Tommy had to do anything about it?``
``Well, Tommy is my dad.``
``What?`` Cole is shocked at the revelation. He couldn`t believe what he just heard.`` Am I hearing this right or just dreaming?`` He asked to noone in particular.
Mia laughed at his reaction.
``See, if that was your reaction, what more if it was him who would know that. He might not accept me, or worst deny it. I`m scared that if I tell him the truth, his life, his career would be ruined and worst I`m scared to feel being rejected again. All my life I kept being rejected by my adoptive parents because I am not their real child. By other children who thought of me as wierd because I am different from them. It feels so lonely sometimes to feel all those things, Cole.``Mia started to cry, but she couldn`t stop talking. She couldn`t carry the load of all the pain she kept for so long.
``All I did in my life is be the person that anyone expected, but being that person kepts me away from who I really am. From who Mia trully is.``
``Mia.`` Cole had no experience at dealing in this kind of situation, all he could do is listen.
``Even believing in fairytails is from my mom.`` She smiled bitterly.
Early in the morning in the Shiba house, everyone are at the kitchen eating except for Mia. Jayden and antonio decided to go and wake her up leaving Kevin, Emily, Mike, Lauren and mentor Ji.
Jayden knocked but got no reply, he did it again but got no reply. Antonio did it to but likewise no answer.
Jayden tried to open the door and luckily it opened, to there dismay, she wasn`t there. They checked the entire house and outside but she`s not there.
``Mi Amigo`s, Mia`s missing.`` Antonio announced.
``WHAT.`` Everyone said as they stood up to help in looking for the girl.
``Where could she be?`` Mentor asked.
Cole looked at Mia who is still sleeping after crying for how many hours last night, he couldn`t believe on what had Mia revealed but those are the truth. His thoughts went to Tommy, he isn`t that kind of person. He was a very responsible guy, which is why he is one of his idol aside from Jason.
He took one last glance at Mia, then went to the nearby lake to catch fish for breakfast.
While Fishing, he remembered what Princess Shayla told him.
FLASHBACK
``Cole, you have to find the Celestial Vessel and protect her at all cost. And with that you are going to need this.`` She handed him his morpher.
``Protect her, Cole, She is our only hope to defeat the incoming enemy. A more fiercer, evil enemy that is coming.`` With that Princess Shayla disapeared again together with the Animarium.
ENDFLASHBACK
``I will give my life in protecting her if I have to.`` He once again look at where Mia is.
``Especially now that she is visibly broken inside.``
Mia woked up on the smell of a barbecued fish.
``Good morning, Mia, here eat this while it is still hot.`` Cole handed her a fish on a stick as he started to eat.
``Thank you.`` She too started to eat. ``About last night could you.``
``It is not my place to tell those to anyone without your permission. And besides as long as it won`t endanger your life I will keep it.``
Mia smiled widdely. ``Thank you.``
``Now eat, before you go back, I`m sure they are looking for you already.``
Mia look at the sky and blurted out.
``OH MY GOD. I`M SO DEAD.`` Mia yelled. Cole pulled her down.
``Eat first Mia.`` Cole ordered as Mia followed.
``And one thing.`` Mia looked at Cole. `` From this day on, you don`t have to live in other people`s expectation, be yourself because that is what you`re supposed to do.``
Mia`s tears are starting to form in her eyes again. ``Thank you.``
``And your not going to feel that you are alone again, we will always be here for you. You are part of our family now Mia. So there is no reason for you to feel lonely.``
That is the final string that Mia had allowed the tears to finally roll down on her cheeks as she give him a real whole hearted smile.
``Thank you very much.`` Was all she could say.
