I know right! Another Sky high fic, I just can't stop writing them, even though I should. I own nothing to due with Sky High, no money has ever been made. Thank you for reading and PLEASE review!
I was only five seeing my mother on the floor, her face bruised as my father stood above her, his fist clenched at his sides. "Run, run. Go to your room and lock your door," her brown eyes swollen nearly closed, but I run. I know it won't do much good, I lock the door crawling to our secret spot. Mommy made it herself, she was the smartest woman I knew. Only nana and mommy love me.
My body is still small enough to crawl through the small cave tunnel leading out onto the edge of the river. I would hide until she came for me, she always did, she always would, I believed her. I see someone come from the sky dropping a man down on the front porch, I wait my dark eyes used to the dark. My mommy was running across the lawn, as the man in red, white and blue took dad away. I stayed hiding since mommy wasn't alone, "My angel, come out now. It is done, he is gone for good now,"
"Are you sure mommy?" I question her "Yes angel," I climb down my feet touching each branch, until I felt her soft hands come around my waist. Her arms wrapped around me, holding me close "It is done, now we can move on. Thank you Jetstream," I peeked from mommy's hair, the woman was smiling at mommy "The pleasure was mine my friend," but when the Jet lady looked at me I flinched back from her hate filled gaze.
Soon enough it was just mommy and I, in our big house. She smiled everyday now, we walked down by the river, she helped me learn to skip rocks. "Don't you believe what anyone ever says about you, you're not your father. You are my sweet angel, no matter what," her voice was firm but soft like when she reads to me.
The days turned into months then into a single year.
"We are leaving soon, Angel," my suitcase is packed. We are going on a trip, mom says we are moving to Maxville, where she was born, my nana likes me enough, she doesn't think I am my father. I drag my suitcase down the long hall when I hear mommy talking over the phone.
"I have left everything to my Angel, his followers won't stop until I am dead. I have to make sure my Angel is safe, my mother will ensure he is safe,"
"Mommy?" I call to her "I have to go now, Summer. You and Josie have been my best friends since we were born, and even you can't see passed who his father is," I hear her put the phone down, I think she broke it.
"I can't take it down the stairs," I glance down at the suitcase "Soon you will my angel. You will grow to be big and strong," her laugher makes everything better.
"Why, don't people like me mommy? I hear them all the time, they say there is something wrong with me," her face fall's hearing my words, her body curls up next to mine her arms around me.
"Don't listen to them, not one bit. They are all close minded people," her face was still frowning but I hug her, this always makes her smile.
"Let mommy take your suitcase, why don't you grab your lunch box. I think I might have filled it with your favorite snacks. Nana can't wait to see you," her smile and the thought of my favorite things in my lunch box had me running down the stairs, I fell when I skidded into the kitchen.
Her arms wrap around me "It is okay, get back up. Don't let anything keep you down," I did get up my jeans rumpled up as she ran her hands down them making them straight. "Here, get in the car Angel,"
I was sitting in my seat, I even buckled myself in getting a smile and "I am so proud of you," a kiss to my head before she was driving down the long dirt road.
I felt my eyes closing hearing soft singing coming from mommy as she drove.
Six months later…Maxville…
I hated it here, no one liked me, other parents didn't let their kids play with me. Mommy was always upset, so was nana. Nana said maybe we should leave for a while, so mommy said we were going back home and Nana said she was coming. Because these hypocritical fools are ruining her baby girl's life.
I sit in bed, I think mommy was upset with me, my powers kicked in causing a small fire, but Nana put it out with a laugh. "All youngsters can't control their powers, little man. Once your mama made it rain in the foyer, it took a week to get it cleaned up," I laughed thinking about it raining in the house.
"Go to sleep, little man. Your mama will be home real soon," I watch the light sparkling on the ceiling falling asleep, my bear tucked firmly under my arm.
Authors point of view…
"It just isn't fair, mama. They treat him as if he was his father, he will have to come back here and go to Sky high. Promise me mama, you will take him far from here until it is time for him to go. They are coming for me, there is nothing anyone can do about it. Let's go get some sleep," Melody Peace says to her mother.
Later in the night, hours after her conversation with her mama Melody bolts up from her bed, the smell of smoke fills her nose "My Angel," her legs pumping heading down the hall towards the far back room where her son sleeps with his bear.
She pull's him to her as the smoke fills his bedroom "Wake up," his little body starts to move "Mommy, what's going on?"
"Don't worry, Warren. I love you so much Warren. Mama take him go out into my sanctum," was the last time he would ever hear his mother voice.
End Authors point of view…
"Don't worry, Warren. I love you so much Warren. Mama take him go out into my sanctum," mommy's voice was scared, her face was dirty from the smoke, I could hear her coughing. But nana took me and ran "Nana has you Little man,"
We flee into the night, the house now made of blazing red, I never see mommy again. They questioned Nana, about the fire, they thought it was me, but I wouldn't hurt mommy.
"There is something wrong with that boy," the man in red, white and blue says to the woman with red hair in green "Commander, I was wrong. It shouldn't have taken Melody dying to see she he isn't his father, no more, he is just a child who is scared."
"I have to get back to Layla and Keni," I watched the fire haired woman leave.
"Come on Warren," I wouldn't see this place for years, but my past followed me, I was a plague, no one wanted to be around me. Once I was older it didn't affect me, I was used it, I started working out, I was alone.
"It is time to go back, little man," nana said one day while we eat dinner "Little man, nana. I am 6'7' and a whopping 225 pounds of hard muscle," but I was ready to go home, I hope they're ready for me.
