Supper was ready and everyone began to fall into the Headquarter. It didn't take long for everyone to grab their food.
"Hey this is really good," Randolph said to Ethan.
"Thanks," said Ethan, "Rachelle did the potatoes." Rachelle blushed. She only did part of the potatoes since Ethan wouldn't let her after she cut her finger. The room was quiet with the only sound being the silverware scraping the plates. Ethan smiles to himself. They were all enjoying their meal. He also was somewhat enjoying the quiet of no one fighting about anything, but it was cut short when Tim said,
"I know today was a special day, but we really need to focus on your powers and getting stronger. It's only a matter of time before we get attacked. We need to be ready. We also need to be ready for our chance to strike." As much as they hated to hear it, Tim was right.
"I say we start in the morning, let everyone enjoy the rest of the day," Ella said. Tim nodded in agreement.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Adam woke up and find no sign of Kimberly. His head hurt from Randolph's punch. He shook it off and then got up. As soon as he got up, guards run into his room. They began to inform him what had happened, but he cut them short saying,
"I know what happened. Randolph and Kimberly escape and I know who let Randolph go." The guards were confused on how he knew this, but didn't press him about it. Adam sent them away and then headed for the prison. The headache he had only help fuel his furry. He had a syringe in his hand and a dart in the other. He burst through the doors and headed straight for an older woman. He grabbed her arm and stuck it with the syringe which filled with blood. The woman was shocked at first, but then saw the dart in his hand and knew what fate awaited her.
"I thought you would have learned from you husband's death not to mess with the prisoners. I guess fire elements never know when to stop," Adam said pulling out the syringe. The woman was shocked to hear this coming from him, but he had discovered her.
"Well now that I have your blood for my project, I don't need you anymore," he said with carelessness. He then drove the dart into her abdomen. The woman quickly fell to her knees. She could feel the water putting out her fire and her life draining. It wasn't long before she fell lifeless on the floor.
"Let this be a reminder of what will happen if someone crosses me and helps the enemy," Adam said in a booming voice, "And guard, please take this body to our elemental friends. Someone is bond to get mad and do something stupid that I can take advantage of." The guard nodded and took the body away. Adam left the prison and went to his lab, where he met up with Randolph's parents.
"Add this to the potion and here is some blood from Kimberly too," Adam said handing them the syringe and the small bit of blood, "We are so close to winning this. Just a few more blood samples and I will be unstoppable to the elementals." Adam smiled an evil smile then said,
"Feel free to kill all the members of our old government, I think I have kept them alive too long and I am tired of them complaining about me." Randolph's parents smiled and quickly left. Adam then left and headed to his room to eat. While he ate, all he could think about is Kimberly and how much he wanted her right now.
"If only she hadn't turned all good on me. She was one bad ass girl," he said quietly. Then he begin thinking.
"That is it. I can make a potion that will turn her evil, but the only problem is I need her here and the Randolph guy will be a pain in the ass to get rid off," he said grabbing his phone to call down to the lab center.
"I need to use some of that lady's blood so I can get Kimberly back. I already know where their headquarter is so this will be a piece of cake." They told him it would take several days, but they would get it done as quickly as possible. Adam hung up and smirked. Things were finally going his way and that couldn't make him more happy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Tarah had finished eating and went to go start cleaning the dishes when she noticed something just outside the barrier. Wayne came in and asked what she was looking at and showed him the object.
"I will get some guys and we will go take a look at what it is," Wayne said with slight concern. Wayne walked out and called Randolph and Liam over saying,
"Tarah noticed a strange object just outside our barrier. I say we go check it out. It could be something from the government." They both nodded and left. As they got closer, they saw it was a body. Randolph was quickly able to recognize the body as the lady who help them.
"I know her. She helped me escape. I believe this person is related to Mercy. She told me to tell Mercy that she loved her." Randolph paused then said,
"I don't know how well Mercy will handle seeing this."
"See what," came Mercy's voice. She looked passed them and same a familiar face laying there breathless. Lifeless.
"Mother," Mercy said as tears began to leave her eyes. Mercy ran to the body and hugged it tightly.
"There was so much I have been wanting to tell you. Things I have done and accomplished. Now I can't," Mercy wailed. She could feel her rage coming as her mother's body began to get warm. Mercy's noticed a letter and pulled it out saying,
"Someone read this." Liam grabbed it and read aloud,
"Thought you would love a surprise gift. Signed Adam."
"I am going to kill that son of a b-," she began to say when Liam stopped her and said,
"Mercy, you need to think. No one here is strong enough to kill him. I know you mad and upset, but you can't do something yet or you will get killed." Mercy hated when Liam was right, but it still didn't help her anger. She dragged her mother's body into the barrier and said,
"I am going to burn her and keep her ashes. No one bother me or you will be next to get burned." The guys nodded and went back to report to everyone what had happened.When Calvin heard he took off after her. He quickly caught up to her and saw her face stained with tears. He tightly hugged her while she cried into his shoulder. When she was ready, they both worked together to bring her mother's body to Mercy's house. Calvin started looking for something to put the ashes in while Mercy burned the body. Once it was all over, Calvin said,
"I can stay with you if that would make you feel better." Mercy nodded in agreement. Calvin sat down on her bed and softly patted the bed for her to join him. Mercy laid down and felt Calvin's body surround her backside. This made her feel a little more peaceful. Calvin covered them up and said,
"I am right here for you." He kissed her cheek. Calvin refused to go to sleep until Mercy did, which didn't take too long since she felt safe in Calvin's arms.
