A/N: I do not own Sky High and I'm not making profit from my writing.
I untangled myself from Derek and checked my clock, 5:30. I took a towel from the hall closet and sleepily walked into the bathroom; I turned on the hot water and stripped down. I brushed through my tangled hair before getting in and taking my time with washing myself and let the hot water wash over my pale skin as I thought. After a few minutes a soft knock stirred me from my thoughts and Layla walked in, "Good morning Kenny" she chirped, "Good Morning Flower, you should visit your dad this weekend." I said, "I haven't seen him in a long time, will you come with me? Mom still has a hard time seeing him, she loves him but you can tell it hurts her" she said with a soft sigh, "Of course I will" I said rinsing the fruity conditioner out of my hair, "After you're done with your volunteer work at the Day care we should go to the mall" she said sitting on the counter, "Do you need something?" I asked "Lash said to convince you and Noella to come to the mall today, the boys will be there too, I don't know why though" she said, I stepped out of the shower and wrapped my towel around myself, "Well okay" I shrugged and walked to my room.
I looked over to Derek who sat up once I walked in, "Hey angel" he said smirking, "Go home babe, you need to shower and change" I said, "Okay, I'll be back to take you to the day care, I'm stealing your truck" he said standing up and slipping his clothes on, he kissed me before he left my room and out to my truck, I looked out my window to see him hopping into it, he gave me a smile before driving off. I walked away from my window and shut my door, I dried myself off before grabbing a pair of black jeans, a tank that says 'Take Me Away' and a Bandeau lace top, I slipped them on before my black and white vans and different pieces of jewelry. I walked back into the bathroom and did my usual makeup then changed my hair purple with lighter purple highlights. I went into my room, grabbed my backpack and put my phone and money into it before heading downstairs and putting two water bottles in along with a pair of black jean shorts that didn't reach mid-thigh that were in the folded on the table. I went outside and waited for Derek, after twenty minutes Derek arrived. "Hey babe" I said getting into the passenger seat, "I got called into work so I'll have to drop you off" he said "Okay, when do you get off?" I asked, "Around eight tonight" he answered, "The day care closes at three in the afternoon but Layla, Noella and I are going to the mall" I said, "Fuck, I forgot about that, I'll try to get off at five then." He said turning on the radio, 'Stay' by Sugarland started playing. I sang along to it while Derek drove, he smiled the whole time, "Goodbye babe" I said kissing him before I got out, "Have fun angel, no kidnapping the children" he said, I walked around to his side, "No promises" I said with a smile as he kissed me. He shook his head with a smile before driving off; I walked along the dirt path to the open grassy field in front of the day care. It was mostly vacant since it didn't open for another thirty minutes, only one woman, who was dressed in a white pencil skirt and black and white blouse, was there with a small girl. The little girl had two braids and was dressed in a purple shirt and jean petal pushers; she walked over to her mom with a purple flower then tried getting her mother's attention. The mother was on the phone talking calmly but instantly became annoyed as the little girl tugged on her shirt; she pushed the girl and walked away as she fell to the ground and tears formed in her eyes. My mouth dropped open in shock, I ran over to her "Are you okay?" I asked crouching in front of her; she looked up at me with big beautiful blue eyes and made a small whimper. "Who are you?" an obnoxious voice said, "I'm a volunteer for the day care" I said standing up to face the girls mom, "Oh good, take the little brat I have work to do" she said rolling her eyes, "Is she your daughter?" I asked, "Unfortunately" she said giving her a disgusted look, "Now bye" the woman said walking away. "And now I want to kill her even more" I said with narrowed eyes, I crouched back down and sat beside the little girl, "Hello, what's your name?" I asked, the girl simply looked at me then the ground not making any noise, "Mine is Kennedy" I said, I took out my phone and held it out for her, "Want to play a game?" I asked, she slowly took my phone and examined the case before smiling and letting a small giggle, "Oh, you like my case?" I asked with a smile, she nodded in response. "My name is Anya" she said in a soft voice. "That's a pretty name" is said, she smiled, "I like yours" she said, "My friends call me Kenny" I said, she giggled, "That's a boy name" she said, "I like it though" she winced as she moved her leg out from under her. I looked at it and saw that it was bleeding, I picked her up and took her to the doors of the day care; the man from last night saw me and opened the door. "Hello Anya, hello Kennedy" he greeted us before letting us in and relocking the doors. I set Anya on a counter and got the first aid kit, I cleaned up the cut and put Neosporin and a band aid on it. "What happened?" Michael, the man, asked "I fell" Anya said quickly, "You sure fall a lot, be more careful Anya" he said walking into a back room. "You didn't fall" I said to her, "My mom says to say that I did" she said, I sighed and noticed she had bruises on her arms and a scrape on her elbow, "She does it?" I asked, to my surprise she nodded. "Where do you go after day care?" I asked, "I walk home" she answered, "You walk? How far?" I asked, "Far, it's night time when I get home but my mom picks me up and drops me off halfway." My heart was literally breaking from hearing this, "How 'bout after day care you come with my friends and I to the mall and then you can stay at my house until your mom gets home" I said, she smiled and nodded, "Please" she said in her small soft voice, I helped her down off the counter and walked into the kitchen with her following closely. "Did you eat breakfast?" I asked, "No" she said, I went to the fridge and gave her a small bottle of water an apple, "This is all I can give you for now but you'll have lunch later and I'll get you some food at the mall plus you can eat dinner at my house" I said, she smiled and took the apple and water. "I like apples" she said eating it quickly, "They're my favorite, I eat them every day" I said, "We have about ten minutes until the other kids come, wanna dance?" in asked taking my phone from her pocket, she nodded and threw the apple core away. I turned on Pandora and Mayday Parade When I Get Home you're So Dead started playing, Anya started dancing as I sang and danced along. A few songs later Anya and I were slumped on the floor while she giggled, I smiled "The kids are coming in, let's go" I said, she pouted but followed me out. She went and sat at a round purple table by herself. "Does she always sit alone?" I asked Michael, "Everyday" he shrugged and took role before heading off into another part of the day care leaving me with the kids who were four through ten. "Okay you guys can play" I said, the kids jumped up and ran around the room, I looked on the attendance sheet and found Anya Della Cruz, she's only seven. I put the sheet and scanned the room trying to find Anya, a few boys and girls had her in a corner, I walked over and heard them teasing her "Freak!" one said, "weirdo!" another said, "Move it!" I said sternly, the kids jumped and ran away. Anya sat with tear filled eyes, "Everyone can go outside to the playground" I said, the kids filed out into the gated grassy area. Anya stood, "Why were they calling you that?" I asked, "I'm different." She said, I had a feeling I already knew how she was different, "Show me" I said softly, she took my hand and took me to the back room. She looked up at me, "Promise you won't hate me?" she asked softly, "Of course" I said, she took a breath and white angel wings sliced through her shirt, her skin gave off a golden glow and her eyes glowed a soft blue. "I can do other things too" she said, "But it's dangerous. I don't know anyone else like me" she said retracting her wings, surprisingly her shirt wasn't ripped. "Come with me" I said heading outside, Anya followed closely. "Freak!" several kids yelled at Anya, "Kids!" I boomed, thunder boomed as I spoke startling the kids. "Anya is NOT a freak" I said, "She is not the only one who has powers" I raised my hand and a small cloud formed in my palm and the tiny cloud let loose mini bolts of lightning and thunder before rain flooded my hand. The kids looked at me shocked and amazed, the cloud disappeared as fast as it came. My eyes flashed and my hair tuned neon green then blue then back to the way I had it before. "I suggest you shut your mouth because I will make it rain only on you and it will never go away until I say" I said as Anya giggled. The kids nodded in response then slowly went back to playing, "Can you change my hair color?" Anya asked, "Well no, I've tried with my friends before but they just get shocked" I said, "Please try!" she begged, I smiled and shrugged "Sure" I said kneeling down and focusing my energy, I trailed a finger down each of her braids which immediately turned a rainbow color. "Oh shit" I said stunned, "I said ship" I looked at Anya who giggled, "It worked!" she said smiling, "I'm very surprised" I said.
For the next two hours Anya and I sat in the shade as the other kids played, "Time to go in!" my voice boomed like thunder scaring the kids half to death, they all ran in and sat at their tables. Michael came out with plates of Dinosaur nuggets, carrots and juice boxes. The kids ate hungrily, I went to the TV and turned on SpongeBob, all the kids except Anya became mesmerized. For the rest of the time the kids napped, watched cartoons or played. Anya read a book until I came up to her, "Everyone has left sweetheart, your mom will be here soon but don't worry I'll follow her" I said, she nodded and we walked outside. Noella pulled up in her truck with Layla sitting in the back with Lash and Warren, "Derek will meet us at the mall" Warren said as Anya's mom walked up, Anya followed her reluctantly, "Get in back Noella" I said quickly, she looked at me like I was crazy "I'll explain later" she sighed and got in back, I hopped in and set my bag between the seats before driving off, I kept my distance from Anya's moms car but close enough to see them. She stopped suddenly and let Anya out, "I'll be home late. Don't make a damn mess, just fucking sit in your room" she yelled before Anya shut the door, she sped off down the road. "What the fuck is that bitch's problem!" Noella yelled, "I don't know", I stopped the car and got out, "Let's go Anya" I said with a smile as I opened the door and picked her up. I set her on the seat and buckled her before shutting the door and going back to the driver's side, I drove off toward the mall. "Guys this is Anya, she goes to the day care and she has powers" I said, "Anya this is my best friend Noella" I motioned toward my blue haired friend, "My cousin Layla" I motioned toward my ginger, "And Noellas boyfriend Warren, my boyfriend Derek is Warrens twin and is meeting us at the mall, and that is Lash. All of us have powers" I said, "I can absorb peoples powers and if I want, their life" Noella said with a smile, "I can control nature, call me Flower" Layla said beaming, "I can control fire" Warren said with a smile, "I'm stretchy" Lash said twisting his body making Anya giggle "And as you know I can control the weather" I said, "What can you do?" Noella asked, "I have angel wings and I can hurt or kill people if I want. I don't though" she said softly. "I never mean to" she said, "I've never killed anyone, just hurt" she continued as she looked down at the seat, "Wow, you're powerful" Noella said, "Her super name should be Soul" Warren said, I nodded and smiled at Anya, "We accept you sweetheart" I said, "Oh and Noella watch this" I said as I parked, I trailed a finger down Anya's braids and they turned the same rainbow color as before, "She is the only person I've ever been able to change" I said smiling, "She's all around special" Layla said before handing her a rainbow colored flower. Anya smiled as Layla put it into her hair, my eyes flashed and her hair went back to her natural brown, "Let's go" I said hoping out with my backpack, I shut the door then went around the passenger side, Anya held my hand as she jumped out. Warren, Noella, Lash and Layla walked to my right while Anya held my left hand. We walked into the store and I bought Anya a giant fresh baked chocolate chip cookie, Layla guided us towards a new shop she wanted to check, "Go look for something you want" I said letting go of Anya's hand, she nodded and maneuvered around the other teenagers in the shop, I walked with Layla as she looked at clothes and jewelry. A few minutes later Anya was tugging on my shirt, she held up a set of necklaces, "Two puzzle pieces, it's a best friend necklace. Who are you giving the other one to?" I asked, "You" she said smiling, I smiled back and we went to the register to pay for the necklace, the lady smiled at us as she rung it up, I handed her the needed amount before taking the necklaces out of their package and putting one on Anya and the other on me, "How adorable" the lady said to her friend, "Such a good mom" the other said, I rolled my eyes and took Anya's hand as we walked out of the shop, "Hungry?" I asked her, "Yep" she said popping the 'p', I smiled and headed towards the food court, I order her orange chicken and fried rice. "Oh yummy" she said digging into her food, "Kennedy" I turned around to see Derek walking over, "Hey babe" I said as he sat beside me, Anya was across from us, "I'm Anya" she said with a mouthful of rice and orange chicken smeared lips, "Hello Anya, I'm Derek" he said smiling, "Angel I thought I told you no kidnapping children." She said looking towards me "I made no promises" I smiled as Anya giggled. I explained to Derek what happened with Anya, he sighed "That's horrible" he said, Anya finished her chicken and yawned. "Tired?" I asked, "Nope" she said popping the 'p' again. Derek smiled and stood up, "Let's go shop, we're going to a party Monday night" he said, "It's only Saturday" I said, "Exactly" he said, I stuck my tongue out at him, Anya erupted in giggles making Derek and I laugh harder then we should have, I held Anya's right hand and Derek held Anya's right, we swung her in-between us, people smiled at us as we passed by. We got absolutely no shopping done because Anya decided she wanted us to chase her through the mall for two hours, "Okay, let's go home" I said out of breath but smiling, Anya was dying of laughter as Derek made people slip and fall on ice. Derek nodded and threw Anya over his shoulder, I walked behind them make faces at Anya while she laughed; almost everyone was looking at us now. "You two are such amazing parents" an old lady said as we walked past her, "Thank you" Derek said smiling, apparently I'm your mom" I said to Anya, "Yay!" she said with a huge smile. We got to my truck and Anya sat in my lap as Derek drove to my house, "We're going to my house and you get to meet my puppies and kitty" I said, Anya's eyes lit up and she kept telling Derek to drive faster.
As soon as we got home Anya ran inside, "Wait up!" I said smiling, I chased after her as Rain, Haven and Patches attacked Anya with wet kisses. She was giggling uncontrollably by the time we got them to go back to then den; I made Anya macaroni and cheese with hotdogs. "Eat up" I said cleaning the little dishes that were in the sink, Anya ate quickly then the three of us headed down to the den, "Let's watch Harry Potter" I said, "I've never seen Harry Potter" Anya said standing beside me with her head on my hip, "Well then we'll watch Sorcerer's Stone, the first one" I said turning it on, Derek and I sat on the couch with Anya snuggled between us with Patches in her lap, Rain and Haven laid their head in Derek's and my lap.
*Derek's p.o.v
I yawned and looked at my angel and Anya, they were dead asleep. They are so amazing and full of life. I already can tell Anya will be a permanent person in our lives; maybe my angel is already planning a way to take her away from her fucking bitch of a mother. She probably is. I smiled and clicked the TV off before pulling the blankets over the three of us before surprisingly nodding off.
*Havocs p.o.v
I sat in my room, "Monday night there is going to be a party, Kennedy and her gang are going" June said walking in, "Then that is when we shall make our move" I said, it's due time for me to either kill Kennedy or greatly weaken her. We've been avoiding the inevitable for far too long. "She's made a new friend; she's very fond of her. Her name is Anya, she's seven years old. She and Derek adore her that can easily weaken her" June said smirking, "Good, that just makes things easier, makes Kennedy more vulnerable." I said June nodded before walking out; this girl will be her down fall. I lay in bed and fell asleep; more orders from Nightmare were calling.
