Normally children in such cases were sent to foster houses temporarily but Chloe was brought back to Maya's house. If before this day Chloe could have seen this place she would have been delighted but right now only thing that scared her was plants and trees and Maya's place was miniature jungle on itself. She tried to move away and Maya noticed that.
" You suffered a lot little girl but these plants are our protectors. They saved you and they did everything just to prevent Shaine from doing nefarious act towards you. Don't neglect this precious gift dearie". Chloe was wide eyed how did she found out, noone actually knew what happened other than Lanna and herself and more than that she was pretty normal and easily accepted all about that.
Her mouth was open " you are just like me". Maya nodded " yes I am, but I can't be with you for much longer, I think I know a person who can keep you most safe. What do you think about Chief Mac". Chloe remembered the kind man, she could feel warmth from him despite his tough and intimidating body. Maya pulled her in her embrace brought her to kitchen and gave her cookies and warm milk. " who are you and what am I ".
Maya smiled "now is not the time and place for all that let me ask you a question I can make you forget everything that happened and your power will be redused over those plants for next 13 years and when you are twenty It will be activated again". Chloe closed her eyes and remembered Shaine's faced and Lanna's scream. She didn't ponder much just nodded. Maya didn't waste much time and a small bud came out of her hands and it entered her forehead. Just than a thought came " what about Callum". her eyes opened to resist but it was too late. Darkness creeped over and everything went black.
