(AN/ there will be swearing and violence in this chapter…Just saying. :D)

We have just settled into the hotel, just around the corner from my parent's house. We had one room with three beds. Daniel's bed is on the right near the door. Dad's bed is on the left by the window, and mine is in the middle. They agreed that I had to be in the middle, so that I can be protected. I was sitting on my bed talking about Casey to my father while Daniel is getting us some lunch. "She was a really great kid. Casey and I were really close. I really miss her." Tears started falling down my cheeks. Dad was patting my back trying to calm me down. Daniel entered with a bag of food, he looked at me put the bag down and walked over to me. "Oh Lola, don't cry dear. Your father and I will always be here for you." He wipes my tears away and looks me in the eyes. Daniels eyes show nothing but pure love. His eyes have a violet tinge when he looks at me. Daniel takes me in his arms and holds me, calming me down. My father decides to speak.

"Lola. I know this is going to be hard on you, but we should go and get some of your things from your mother's house. I suggest you be prepared for an argument." My dad looks at me, his eyes show me that he is sorry but we have to do this. I have nothing but a nightgown and pair of black jeans and a black jacket. My two pairs of training clothes got destroyed. The first pair Sky ruined, and the second… Punishment. I wonder what happened to Sky… When the funeral is over I shall ask.

"That's okay daddy. I will just get my shoes on then we can leave, yes?" I have to remember not to lose my temper; my stupid mother is only mortal. My dad nods. I get up out of Daniels loving embrace and go to get my shoes on. I already have a jacket on over my bright red wings. I am given a sandwich by Daniel. I am so hungry I eat it in a minute. After five minutes we are all ready to face my bitch of a mother.

We are outside my old house. I pause at the gate. "I can't do this! She hates me!" My father just chuckles. "What do you think she will do when she sees me? She will explode! She did cheat on her husband with me." Oh yeah, I didn't think about that. I giggled. Daniel grabbed my hand. I nodded at him and smiled. All three of us walked up to the door. I knocked the door three times. My mother answered… She exploded.

Her face took in me and dad, it got redder and redder. "What the fuck are you doing here? Both of you! You little bitch should be in the nuthouse! And you I told you that you would have nothing to do with my daughter!" My anger flares up, I struggle to keep quiet.

"Daniel. Please try to keep Lola calm. Sophia you disowned Lola. That gives me the right to care for her. I am here to collect some of Lola's things." Daniel squeezes my hand, I can focus. I look into my mums eyes and she is confused and very angry. I shudder, the last time I felt anger like that was when father punished me. I start feeling sick. I space out. Daniel notices. "Lola? Are you alright? Lola!" I collapse.

I wake up in a bed. Sitting up I realise I am back in the hotel. Daniel is leaning on the railing out on the balcony. I get up walk over to him. He notices me and smiles. His eyes show that he is very worried about me. "Are you ok? I was worried! What happened? Are you ill? Why did you collapse?" Yep he was very worried. I put up a finger so he would stop babbling.

"I am fine now Daniel. I am not ill. I just felt the anger pouring from her, the last time I felt anger like that was when… Father punished me…" I shudder. Every time I think about it I get scared. I start crying again. Daniel pulled me into a hug.

"Shhh. You're safe. If you ever get punished again it will not be as bad as that. Nowhere near as bad. As for your mother she will not be able to hurt you." In Daniel's arms I feel safe. I soon calm down, just in time for dad to walk in, balancing three dinner trays. He notices me and Daniel on the balcony and puts the trays on the table. He comes out and sits on the floor next to us.

"Are you alright now? You gave us quite a scare." He smiles at me. His eyes show worry.

"I am fine now daddy. Her anger scared me. It was worse than when you punished me. I think I had a very scary case of Déjà vu." I study his eyes as I say this and he starts feeling very guilty and sad.

"I am sorry Lola. My mistake has caused you mental scaring. Something my gift cannot heal." I'm looking into the eyes of a man who is very sorry.

"Daddy I am able to live with it. I may be a bit fragile now but it was only yesterday. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger… I am still alive so it didn't kill me" I smile trying to make him feel better. He smiles back but it doesn't reach his eyes. They stay sad. Daniel saves me from having to say more.

"Lola if we don't eat now our food will get cold." All three of us go and eat our dinner. After we have finished I decided to ask.

"Daniel? Daddy? What happened after I collapsed?" The looked at each over then back at me.

"Nothing happened really. Daniel brought you back here and I got some of your stuff in a suitcase and brought it back here. I went to get some food while Daniel stayed here while you were asleep…" I don't know why he decided to lie. He knows I can tell when someone is dishonest, it shows in their eyes.

"Father! Do you not know I can tell when you are being dishonest? It shows in your eyes! You're not telling me something." Dad turns to Daniel and holds out his finger.

"Daniel it is going to be difficult to tell her. Could you please use your gift to show her what happened?" So Daniel pricked Fathers finger and showed me what happened.

I see me falling out the corner of his eye. He orders Daniel to take me back to the hotel. Mother jumps on me and starts punching me. Father had to shock her using his electric gift. I didn't know about that gift! She gets off of me and turns to look at father. I see I am bruised and cut. Daniel picks me up and stands behind father. Dad brings an arm behind him and touches a limp hand, which he assumed was mine. While saying to mother that she was a bad mother and shouldn't do that to her own daughter, he healed me channelling his energy until Daniel said he was taking me back to the hotel now. My mother just stands there saying "Who are you talking about? Her name is Jasmine! Not Lola! Are you fucking stupid! Besides I left her in the nut house because she is crazy! What the fuck is she doing with you? What the fuck are you doing here? You are not coming to my daughter's funeral!" Father started getting annoyed so he shocked her so she was unconscious and went upstairs. My room was empty but the attic was filled with my things. He grabbed all my nice clothes and put them in a massive bag and left. I opened my eyes and looked at my father and smiled.

"Thank you Daddy."
