Elements: The Powers Within (Book 5)

Hero Named Hiro (Chapter 10)

Ava quickly munches on a piece of toast that her mom made. Ava's hair is curled at the ends that reach her jawline. She didn't know what to really wear so she asked Amy.

You don't have to worry. We're gonna get you guys formal robes, Amy had texted back so Ava is wearing a t-shirt with sweats.

She walks outside after finishing breakfast. In a few minutes, Ava reaches the treehouse and climbs up the ladder.

I'm the only one who isn't living in the house now...well there's also Coach but, Ava shakes her head. They didn't go there for happy reasons and how would they..? I'm happy with my mom and little brother. It's okay.

"Ava!" Alex cheers, running towards her then scooping her into a hug.

"Alex!" Ava exclaims.

"Good morning Ava, since everyone is here, let us go!" Ku steps through the back room and everyone else follows.

It only takes a few minutes for the teens to get lost in the mall. Alex and Ava wandered off to some pet store. Owen and Urana got caught up with the electronics store.

Brenton simply couldn't stand shopping for clothes and found his way to the food court. Sasha managed to find a weapons store and admires the high tech weapons.

"Are you KIDDING ME?" Amy groans. "I'll go get them."

"I will go see if I can find something for them to wear. I hope they do not get kidnapped," Ku sighs, going into a store for formal clothing.

Urana watches as a child happily walks with their parents into the tech store. A sad smile forms on her face and she looks away.

Stop letting it affect you so much, Urana shakes her head furiously. It's not going to make things better!

"Hey," Owen waves a thin phone at Urana. "Check this out! It's got like the ability to recognize your voice!"

"Pfft, you must be from the depths of the planet to not have that basic thing on your phone," a mage walks by, laughing.

"Wow, some mages will always be rude," Urana crosses her arms as she looks at the phone Owen is holding. "But that's seriously so cool!"

"Right!" Owen looks excited. "Everything here is so advanced like I think my brain is gonna go into overdrive!"

"Mine too! I literally found a laptop that can project things and it turns into a phone!" Urana points to a stand a few aisles away from them.

"What? No way!" Owen looks excited and Urana couldn't help but smile.

"Yes way!" Urana gestures to him to follow her and they both run over to the laptop. Both of them looking like little children being offered their favorite candy. When they reach the laptop, Amy is standing there with her arms crossed.

"Are all of you teenagers dumb or is it just the six of you?" Amy huffs. "C'mon, we gotta go, the meeting is gonna start soon and you guys don't even have your robes and we're still missing four of you."

"We'll be back for you laptop," Owen touches the practically air laptop before following Amy and Urana out. Urana glances back at the laptop longingly but turns around to focus on walking.

"Might I remind all of you that Sasha is literally the only one who can be alone here?" Ku crosses his arms and taps his foot. The teens are lined up in front of him. "Are you asking to be kidnapped?"
