Hello to everyone! It me, ya girl, awakening from the dead lol

I know everyone probably thought I was gone forever but really I just lost my login lol XD

ANYWAY... All of my old stories are null and void so I'll leave them up if anyone actually likes them but none of the stuff in them is canon okay? Well, maybe some of it is, but most will be re-written.

SOOOOO welcome to my revival story "Innocence Of A Child"! The KND characters are in highschool (and middle school) in this story and even though sector V and ect. are seniors, there are many flashbacks to their time in highschool and after the series and whatnot.

Also: This story will get pretty dark, I'll probably change the rating to M at some point but for now it's T, just beware that there will be mentions of rape, violence, homophobia, sex, and other stuff (mainly due to Natalie's mouth lol)

Disclaimer: I don't own KND, that'd be awesome, but tis not true.

"One more hour till lunch."

The boy put the Tylenol on the shelf, narrowly avoiding knocking the generic pain medicine off the shelf. His stomach growled and he grabbed it, trying in vain to quiet the sound, and the lady next to him looking at cough drops turned towards him.

"Did you want lunch first Nigel?"

The boy turned towards the voice, Christina Dickson.

"Oh, no you can go first. I drank coffee today so..." Nigel grinned and went back to placing the pain medicine on the shelf "I'm okay."

Christina smiled at him "We can both go because, knock on wood, I don't think it'll get that busy in half an hour."

The Dickson's had owned the Wellmart in Cleveland for 5 years now. Tristan and Christina had originally just been techs there but Tristan graduated from pharmacist school and bought the pharmacy from the corporation that had owned it. Nigel had only worked there for 3 months by now, he knew he needed money for college, no matter how much his parents wanted to help.

"Okay, I'll go then. It'll be nice to get some air, even if it's 10 degrees out haha." he shot Christina a grin before heading to the break room.

"$3.45"

Nigel swiped his card at the gas station down the road from the pharmacy.

"Do you wanna receipt?"

"No. Why do you sound so official all of a sudden? Are you sick?"

The blond leaned his head towards a brown haired lady "She's threatened to fire me 5 times this morning. I GOT HERE AT 10!"

"Then quit, Wally."

Wally dropped his head on the counter in an overdramatic fashion "And how would I pay for school...if I even get in to one?"

"You realize that just because this was your first job, doesn't mean that you have to stick with it all throughout highschool?" Nigel rolled his eyes while unwrapping the sandwich he had just bought "I mean, for God's sake, go ask Bo for a job."

Wally's eyes opened wide "Ask Bodanah Drilovsky for a job? No thank you. If I worked in that kitchen I wouldn't be able to understand anyone and can you imagine me as a server?"

"Patton's a server."

"Patton has more patients than me." Wally chuckled "Fanny gives him practice."

"Natalie serves." Nigel raised an eyebrow at his Aussie friend "She's got less patients than you."

Nigel stood up and swung his bag over his shoulder.

"I'll think about it, it's December though. We graduate in June. I think I can handle Courtney for another few months." Wally grinned towards the back of his boss' wife "Anyway, she's accusing me of things she can't prove and that don't make sense so it's not like she can actually get me for them."

Nigel laughed and headed towards the door "Bye Wally, have a good six months!"

He heard the blond's head hit the counter as the door closed behind him.

Walking down the hill towards work at the end of his lunch, Nigel took his earbuds out so he could hear a car coming. The roads in Cleveland were awful, completely covered in ice, the only part that wasn't was the very middle of the road.

"Why in the everloving fuck is everything so fucking icy!"

Nigel turned to see Harvey McKenzie and Natalie Drilovsky attempting to walk to the middle of the road, Natalie was doing fine, Harvey was not.

"Don't fall Harvey, wouldn't want your pretty new braces to get damaged." Nigel said walking past the two 14 year olds.

"Damn McKenzie, you fall on this hill and you'll just slide all the way to the bottom haha!" Natalie almost fell while laughing at Harvey, the McKenzie was not as entertained though.

"Oh screw both of you, namely you Uno, but also you Natalie!" He huffed and turned to keep walking down the hill.

"You know Harvey, you say that too many times, it'll lose it's affect." Nigel teased

"How about fuck you?" Harvey grinned, not turning around "That better?"

Nigel laughed, this teasing game had become less hate filled as of late, especially since Harvey had been recommissioned by the TND to serve with them.

"Don't say that around your sister, she'll lose her shit."

Harvey huffed and turned around "I'm 14. Rachel can deal with it. I'm not a baby anymore. I've kissed a girl for Christ's sake!" Harvey seemed proud as he turned around and continued walking down the hill.

Nigel raised an eyebrow at Natalie.

Natalie shrugged "Well yeah, of course he's kissed me. Who hasn't? He's had a girlfriend before though."

Nigel chuckled and walked past the young McKenzie "Well, I'd love to stay and listen as Natalie get's uncomfortably discriptive, but I gotta go to work."

Patton Drilovsky and Bartie Stork sat at the top of the stairs to the Drilovsky's basement.

"So, whatdya think?" Patton asked

Bartie shrugged "I wanna go down there, but since it looks like something out of a horror movie, I'm kinda reluctant..." He turned to look around the corner "What do you think Ginny?"

Virginia Sims sat down between the two boys "Oh yeah, it's haunted."

Patton raised an eyebrow "You know that for a fact do you?"

Virginia grinned "I'm a certified goth and I went to Catholic school, so yeah, I think I'm allowed to judge."

Patton laughed "It wouldn't be so bad if it was so...weird?"

Natalie came in the kitchen door, stomping the snow off her boots "It's fucking freezing out there!"

Patton facepalmed "Natalie, you're supposed to stomp your boots outside the house?"

Natalie just gaped at him "Okay?"

The older Drilovsky groaned and made room for his sister to sit next to him "Our certified goth here has confirmed it's haunted."

Natalie looked at Virginia "Have you been down there yet? Bartie has, but only the sit on the couch and then he flipped his shit and ran."

"I was 11!"

Natalie rolled her eyes "And? You were still chicken shit."

Virginia stood up and started to decend the stairs "Is there a light switch?"

Patton stood up to follow her "Just keep going, the light always comes on when you get to the last step."

Just as he said that, the light in the basement turned on by itself. One single light to be exact. In the middle of the open space that only had a couch, one that looked younger than any of them but had been in the basement when the Drilovsky's moved to the house almost 10 years ago. The light was white, a dim white. Most of the light in the basement came from the window at the top of the stairs. The big main room split off into 3 hallways, she could see a light flickering at the end of the hallway straight ahead of her.

"Doesn't this kill your electric bill?"

Patton shrugged "The lights turn on automatically when you com down the stairs, even the bathroom one."

"Well, it has since Patton turned the bathroom light on." Natalie chipped in, coming down the stairs with a whimpering Bartie following her "Patton and Fanny went down that middle hall when they were 12 and discovered a gross bathroom with no water and a light that flickers no matter how many times you change the bulb."

"It's a wiring problem." Patton said glaring at his sister "It's not a ghost."

Natalie pointed at him dramatically "THAT'S WHAT HARVEY SAID!"

Bartie covered his ears and glared at Natalie "It's dangerous when you scream you know."

Virginia walked to the back of the single couch and pointed at the left hallway while looking at the right one "What's down those?"

"Hell." Natalie said simply, lounging on the couch "Portals to hell obviously."

Patton facepalmed again "Probably bedrooms, I don't know, I haven't gone down there. Mom thinks this place is cursed cuz she grew up in Poland and is very superstitious. Cece is already screwed up so she shouldn't be down here."

Bartie grabbed Virginia's shoulders and backed towards the stairs "I think I'm gonna go with the portals to hell theory actually, which is why we should get out of here babe..."

Virginia shrugged his hands off and walked towards the bathroom, the other 3 followed her (Bartie hanging on Natalie's shoulders). The bathroom was gross, it looked like rust was covering everything and the single swinging light in the middle of the room had the only clean part of the bathroom, one lightbulb that was obviously new, but still flickered.

The four teens stood in the doorway looking at the light as it swung, even though there was no breeze (there where no windows in the basement).

"Okay, I'm starting to subscribe to your 'portals to hell' theory Natalie." Virginia said while wide eyeing the swinging light.

So that was chapter 1. The next chapter will be a flashback chapter, so there'll be flashbacks to things mentioned in this chapter.

The Drilovsky's basement is from a nightmare I had about a creepy ass basement lol and believe me, idk where it's going either. IDK if it's haunted or not.

Thanks for reading and I'm glad to be back!
