The Mists

"Come on Elizabeth!"Amelia panted hitting target after target with her fists."you should learn how to fight as well."

"I have no intention of learning how to fight Amelia because I have brains.When you have brains there is no need for brawn."Elizabeth replied not lifting her head from her book.

"jeez,thanks."Amelia said aiming a punch at her spar partner.There came an ouch when her punched connected."Sorry Jasper."

"Careful Amelia, you're glowing."Elizabeth told her looking up.

"What!How? I haven't even broke a sweat!"Amelia exclaimed.

"No your Mist is actually glowing,like brighter."Elizabeth told her.

"Oh,I need to cool off." Amelia said to Jasper."What would I do without your Talent?"She asked Elizabeth sitting down beside her.

"More than likely, you would burn out with a Talent as strong as yours."Elizabeth replied matter of factually.

"God always looking on the bright side aren't you?"Amelia told her to which Elizabeth smiled back in reply.

"Come on Howard wants to speak to us."Elizabeth said hopping off the bench  and putting her books into her bag.Amelia packed up the equipment she used.

"Not using your Talent?"Elizabeth asked raising her eyebrows.

"Now why would I use my Talent when I have perfectly good hands." Amelia said turning her back.The last weight Amelia used then placed itself back onto the shelf.Amelia smiled at her friend and they left the hall to meet with the director.

*16 years ago*

Howard Bromfield was in his study on a stormy evening when the doorbell rang.Getting up out of his comfy chair he lumbered to the front door.Who could be at the door at this hour he thought.

Opening the front door,he saw something that he would never forget.There were a pile of blankets in a Mose's Basket and within the blanket was a baby.Howard looked around trying to see through the sheets of rain if there was anyone out there,there didn't seem to be anyone. When he tried to pick the baby out of the basket his hands seemed to go everywhere but cradle the baby.Howard was baffled but quickly saw a note down the side of the Mose's Basket.

This is Amelia.

I know you will be able to look after her.Make her good.

Please care for her.

H.

Still confused Howard picked up the basket, walked into the house, gave the yard one last glance and closed the door behind him.He shook his head clear because for a moment he thought he saw a shadow in the rain. 

"Make you good?How,why?" He asked to the baby.

The baby just gazed up and smiled as if to say "you figure it out." 

"Howard,who was at the door?"Taylor,Howard's wife called."Oh,okay?" she said noticing the baby,Taylor smiled and cooed at her. "If you wanted one so badly all you had to do was ask."

She reached for the baby then stopped and laughed. " she's a Mist.."

"Really?Whats her talent?" Harold asked looking closer to the baby.

"Her Talent is a force field.She wont let anyone go near unless she allows them,quite a handy Talent, if I  may so myself." She smiled,praising the little one.Taylor's Talent was a strange one.She harboured the ability to see the Talents of other Mists.

"What colour do you suppose she is?" Harold wondered aloud,he himself was hoping she would just be strong Blue but hope had it out for him.

"Em...well it's defensive maybe offensive  as well so maybe a Red or maybe even a Black.Maybe that is what whoever H is meant,I mean Red and Black Mists are usually evil but maybe H thinks you can make this Mist good.Even if she is a Red or Black, she's not a Blue,a Talent like that isn't seen as a intellectual Talent also I doubt she's a White seems to be too strong for a White." Taylor said giving her opinion on many years of Talent experience.

"Right,well I'll guess we'll have to do what H wants.Make this kid good." Harold sighed trying to imagine how he would tackle the problem of turning something that is generally evil into good.

"You know who H is don't you?" Taylor asked looking at her husband who never kept secrets before.

"I have a couple of ideas." he replied and left it at that.

Taylor sensed it was a sore spot for her husband and didn't pry.

"Well now's better then never to gain her trust." Taylor said moving towards the baby cooing and talking to her trying to get her to lower her force field.

 *Present Time*

Elizabeth knocked on the study door,Harold's voice called for them to enter.Amelia stroded right in and flopped down in one of the chairs opposite Howard's desk. Elizabeth hesitated slightly,worried about why Harold had asked them here, she immediately started thinking of things which might have been wrong or against the rules,she couldn't think of any.

"Hiya Howard." Amelia beamed slouching on the chair." You called us here why?"

Elizabeth was wrapped in her thoughts that she didn't hear Howard's reply.Instead she was jolted back to reality by an outburst from Amelia.

"WHAT?!Why are you sending us to England?!" She shrieked."Why?!"

Elizabeth was confused.Why were they being sent to England.No one left the House, except when you grew up and you chose to leave or you ran away.No one ever ran away or left.They stayed here to be Helpers,Finders and Teachers.

"Finders we have placed around the world think they have found a powerful Mist but they don't know their Colour or their Talent."Harold explained.

"Oh."Was all that Elizabeth managed to say.She knew that there was something special about her Talent but she couldn't see what good it would do when all she was able to do was tell the colour of    Mist.She couldn't create force fields project them,she couldn't fight all she could do was spout facts.

"Why does this concern us?"Elizabeth finally said.

"Well because of your Talent,Elizabeth.We need you to help us."Harold told her.

"And how does this concern me?"Amelia mused.

"Well who better to go and fight if needed to defend this boy and fight Black Mists if needed.And,of course the two of you are practically a package deal. "He smiled to which Amelia returned.

"It's  boy?" Amelia asked,perking up.

"Can we really just leave?"Elizabeth questioned,ignoring Amelia.

"Em well we made a cover story. Me and Taylor will be your parents and we are moving to England for my job, the two of you are sisters,twins in fact." He smiled at his genius.

"One problem."Amelia pointed out."We look nothing alike."

"Yes,Amelia I have noticed.Which is why we are just going to say that you are fraternal twins."He told her.

Problem solved,Amelia thought sarcastically.

"So, we really are going to England to look for this kid?"Elizabeth asked shifting her weight from one foot to another nervously.

"We have to get to this kid before They do,for his safety.He could be too powerful from what the Finders told me about him."Howard told them with a worried look on his face.

To England we go then,Elizabeth thought, trying to think of a good point.She couldnt think of anything.
