Silhouette Child

Chapter 1

Hope arrives

On July 13 1998, a child was born. The child was born at home. The father passed back and forth the door. When he heard a baby's cry, he rushed through the door happier than ever. The smile quickly faded. The room was torched, the house nurse dead, the baby was crying, and where his wife once lay was a pile ash with the baby lying in it. He immediately knew what happened. The same thing when he was born. He was afraid this would happen but was still shocked. He looked down at the child. She was a beautiful child. He named her Keena, meaning 'born of fire'. He wasn't sure in what language, but it fit her. Adoption had crossed his mind but he knew he just couldn't. He would not become like his birth parents He promised himself that the day he was told he was adopted. So he picked her up and rocked her to sleep. That day he vowed to keep Keena from the pain he had felt that day.

Unlike most children who played outdoors from sunrise to sun set and wore bright vibrant clothes, Keena lived her life in the house and was forced wear all black clothes that covered her face. She was a silhouette. At age six she ventured outside and lost control of her powers. She killed a nine year old and was forever banned to the basement. Keena's father decided to adopt five perfect little children. They were forever known as The Delightful Children from Down the Road. Keena was at first very excited of having five brothers and sisters. She was simply happy that she would finally have a few kids to hang out with. Unfortunately the Delightful Children never quite accepted Keena and avoid her. Now before you start to think that Father avoided his daughter let me tell you that he loved her more than any of her siblings. He tended to her every whim. Keena wasn't given a lot of toys or electronics. She however had an enormous library. Father always felt bad about not allowing his daughter to see the outside world, so he instead gave her the world through her books. She never attended school, but had the I.Q. of a collage graduate by age 6. Father taught her how to read and from there her knowledge grew like wild fire. She experienced life through books. Yet she still yearned for the outside world.

When Keena turned 10, Father came down to her room and handed her a present wrapped in bright colors. She tore it open. It was a note book. The title read The Kids Next Door: Observations and Knowledge. She was fascinated.

"I think it's time you learn about my arch nemesis" Father was acting very serious.

"Thank you Dad!" She hugged him and flopped down on the bed. She tore through the book soaking up the information word by word. You must understand something about Keena. She loved her father very much, but always was stiff with him for keeping from the world. So when Father gave her the book he had unknowingly given her an idea of escape. She was convinced that if she could find this Kids Next Door, she could be saved from the darkness of her basement. So Keena started her research. She learned that the closes sector to her was Sector V. So the first time Sector V broke into her house. She couldn't be kept from screaming. She had to be heard. If they could only know she was there maybe they could rescue her. She banged on the door to upstairs, smashed pots and pans together and did everything she possibly could to be heard. At her first attempt, Father stormed down stairs and threw her into a chamber used to torture KND Operatives if ever captured by Father. He turned the water selection on full blast. It stung her body, like thousands of sharp nails clawing at her skin. But her screaming paid off. On her third attempt someone heard her. That someone was Nigel Uno, Numbuh one and leader of Sector V.
