Adam: You…wanted…to…hug me?
Me: (smiles and sits down again)
Adam: (silence)
Jade: Ok then onto chapter six
Me: Oh in this chapter there's one part that reminds me of the song "Sugar , We're Goin' down" by Fall Out Boy, I think at least one of you would have heard of it. Ok its not exactly the song it's more of the rhythm, or the background music.
Jade: I've heard of it.
Me: I know that, you and me are alike remember.
Jade: Yeah.
Note: This chapter is a little omniscient, hey I had to get Adam's reactions too :D
------------------------------------------------
Chapter Six "Slipped From His Hands"
"Nah it can't be" she said they let their breaths go.
"Thanks Power Rangers" Adam and Jade said together.
"Come on Kiddo lets go home" Adam said ruffling Jade's hair.
They waved one last time The rangers waved back. Jade and Adam got back to the parked car. The battle had died everyone was getting back to their daily lives. Jade buckled up and Adam started the car then they drove the rest of the way home. The whole way Jade talked with her father about the battle she just witnessed. When they got home Jade got something to eat and quickly went to do her homework. It was about 4 in the afternoon.
She was up in her room the rest of the afternoon and the evening finishing up her homework.
Adam knocked on the door.
"Come in" Jade said still staring at her open history book.
(Me: "Sugar Were Goin' Down" by Fall Out Boy starts here)
Adam opened the wood door into his teen daughter's room with a plate in his hand.
"Whoa, they packed you with homework tonight didn't they" He joked.
Adam cleared a space on Jade's nightstand and placed the plate of food on it. As he sat on her bed.
"Yeah just kind of, my brain's starting to hurt" Jade said.
Adam chuckled. Jade looked up and smiled at him.
"Maybe you should take a break and eat something" He said showing her the plate of food on her cluttered nightstand.
"Good idea" Jade sighed.
She put her history question sheet in between the pages of her book and closed it. She moved the plate from the cluttered nightstand to her desk. Adam started to stand up to leave the room he patted her shoulder and walked toward the door.
"Dad?" Jade questioned as she turned around on her chair.
"What's up Kiddo?" He asked concerned turning to face her.
"How do you know when you have real friends?" Jade said this was the question she wanted to ask her father before the battle occurred earlier that day.
"If they treat you right and like having you around, usually you would just know." Adam told his daughter. "Why do you ask?"
"Well there's this group of kids at school Gina, Alanna, Colton, Aiden and Gabe, I can tell they like having me around, but they always have to leave at the oddest times. Like today in the middle of lunch." Jade said.
This situation sounded somewhat familiar to Adam the whole disappearing at the oddest times part. When Jade was a baby during the time he spent as a Power Ranger it was the same thing, disappearing at the oddest times. Of course he had to tell Zordon, Demitria, Alpha 5 and Alpha 6 that he had a daughter so they knew the reason if he was ever late. But only they knew about Jade.
"They probably have classes or something else to do during those times" Adam said, he had a feeling of their reason for the disappearances, but Jade had to find out herself.
"They'll tell you when their ready" Adam said with a glint in his eye as if he knew something.
"Alright" Jade smiled. Adam hugged her.
"If you need me Jade I'll be in the other room" He told her.
"Okay" Jade said finishing her dinner then she went back to her homework. Suddenly she felt something touch her, The teen Jumped up from her desk chair ready in karate position she learned from her father. Her narrow blue eyes glanced around her small bedroom. It probably was just a draft she made her decision. The teen started to loosen up when all of a sudden an unfamiliar light shone through one of her bedroom windows. She put her arms over her eyes squinting. What was this light? Jade wondered.
(Song: "Drop a heart, Break a name")
Jade Felt some force pull her toward the window.
"DAD!" she tried to call but no sound came from her mouth
(Song: "We're always sleeping in and sleeping, for the wrong team")
Jade noticed her father run into her room, he must have sensed she was in trouble. Adam grabbed his daughter's arm. He fought to pull her back into the room with all his strength.
(Song: "Were going down, down in an earlier round. And Sugar were going down swinging")
But the force was too strong. Jade slipped from her father's hands and into the light. Adam fell back.
-------------------------------------------
(Song: "I'll be your number one with the Bullet")
"JADE!" Adam yelled as he pounded the bedroom floor.
(Song: "A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it")
"Dammit!" Adam exclaimed.
"I can't believe I let her slip from my grip" Adam said scared.
The 29 year old single father, looked at his hands. (Me: Jade was born when he was 15-16, I'm keeping his birthday the same as the actor's, this chapter is in November so Adam's not 30 yet not until January of this story's next year. Don't yell at me!)
He couldn't believe that just happened, it just didn't seem right. But at the same exact time, it did. He wasn't a bad father it was just that he had known that this day would come just not so soon and not in this way. Adam closed his hands into fists then swiftly got up and went over to the open window. It had wind blowing through it. He pounded his fists on the windowsill.
"DAMN YOU DEVITRA!" Adam yelled through the open window.
The wind answered blowing roughly through Adam's dark hair. In his face Anger was seen. His only daughter slipped from his grip, anyone would be angry. Especially one who had been a Power Ranger himself 12- 14 years ago. He couldn't believe this, he knew he should try to save her but how? Adam stared out the open window, the winds blowing through his hair. He stood there for a while.
"I wish I could morph again, then it would be so much easier to get her back" He mumbled.
Suddenly the winds started to pick up again and a blinding light entered the room. Adam felt himself be pushed back on the bedroom floor.
---------------------------------------------
Jade: (exclaimed) What Your ending the chapter now!?
Adam: Aren't you going to tell what happened to Jade?
Me: (Evil grin) No I've decided to be evil and make everyone wait for the next chapter.
Jade and Adam: So your ending it here
Me: Yep
Adam and Jade: (Gloom)
Me: Stay tuned for next chapter (quickly hugs Adam again)
