"The Struggle"
Chapter 2 - Analyn's Troubles
8:45 am
FDR Academy
Sierra was late to school, and was running in, but stopped when she saw Analyn crying outside. "Analyn?" Sierra said as she approached her friend and saw that her glasses were broken on the ground. Sierra picked them up and then frowned. "You know what my parents say?"
"What?" Analyn asked still sobbing.
"That the only reason we get made fun of is because we're so smart."
"Really?"
"Yeah. You ready to go in?" Sierra asked.
"Sierra!" came Adam's voice.
"We're fine...well sort of," Sierra said when she saw Adam running towards her.
"What's wrong?" Adam asked.
"Some of the kids broke Analyn's glasses," Sierra said showing them to Adam.
"Do you have a spare pair?"
"Yes, in the nurse's office," Analyn said still crying, "but my parents will be so mad!"
"It's okay, I'll fix them and have Sierra's mom bring them when she comes to pick her up, okay?" Adam said smiling and Analyn stopped crying and smiled. "Sierra, take Analyn to the nurse's office and explain what happened."
"Thanks Adam," Sierra said helping Analyn up. Sierra and Analyn headed for the nurse's office, but Adam didn't leave until he was sure that they were in safely.

Shalimar had made sure she was at Sierra's school early. She was still afraid that Gabriel might be able to find her and take her away. That and she had Analyn's fixed glasses, and she didn't want to miss her in case her parents were early too. Shalimar got out of her silver car and headed to wait with the other over protective parents. Five minutes later the kids came out in their lines and filed out to their parents. Sierra and Analyn ran up to Shalimar, "Mom!" Sierra shouted and hugged her.
"What's going on?" Shalimar asked.
"Something's gotta be up if I'm happy to see you?" Sierra asked innocently.
"Yes, what is it?"
"Can Analyn have a ride home?"
"Sure, and here's your glasses," Shalimar said handing the now fixed glasses to Analyn.
"Thank you!" Analyn exclaimed putting them on. "I had to turn in my extra pair back to the nurse."
"Come on," Shalimar said taking the girls to the car and making sure they got safely in. Shalimar took Analyn's directions and pulled up in front of a small castle looking house complete with flowers and a large security gate around it. "Mind if we walk you in?"
"Thanks," Analyn said as she undid her seat belt. They got out of the car and walked up to the locked gate. Analyn pushed the buzzer.
"Yes?" came a voice.
"It's Analyn," she said and they were let in. The door was open by an elderly man in a suit.
"I take it they forgot you again, Miss?" the butler asked.
"Yes," she told him and then came her two parents down the stairs yelling and fighting.
"Sir. Ma'am. Miss Analyn was forgotten again," the butler informed them.
"What the HELL do we look like? Do we look like we don't have important lives?" her mother said angerly at Analyn and slapped her face.
Instantly Shalimar went into feral protective mode. "Hey! You can't slap a child like that!" Shalimar yelled and was going to go after them when Sierra tugged at her arm. "Come on Sierra, Analyn," Shalimar said leading them out of the house.
"Wait she's our daughter!" Analyn's father yelled chasing them.
"You can't do this!" came his wife's voice as well.
Shalimar got them in the car, got in, and locked the doors. "Buckle up," Shalimar said and then put her foot on the gas and sped away towards Sanctuary.

Shalimar stormed in, angerly passing the a waiting group. Sierra walked in next holding Analyn's hand. She had told Analyn that they were going to a secret place and so she had to hold her glasses until they got there and Analyn had agreed. "What's going on?" Adam asked when he saw Analyn walk in.
"Analyn's parents are mean," Sierra stated.
"What happened?" Brennan asked.
"They forgot me...they always forget me," Analyn said tearing up. "They always fight and yell...and Sierra's mom said that I could stay here for a while."
"She's right you can," Adam said.
"But..."
"What?"
"I thought I saw her eyes glow...when she was mad," Analyn said.
"Maybe I should explain...she won't tell Adam," Sierra said.
"Yes, I know, but first why don't we take you to the med lab and check you out," Adam said taking Analyn's hand.
