Keeper Kids (A KOTLC fanfiction)

Chapter 3

A/N Oh my gosh guys! Thanks for all of the views! I've never had so many before. I hope you guys realise how much this means to me and I love you, readers! You're my fav people so far. Also, if you can, please can you comment like feedback or something (no swearing) cos it kinda feels I'm talking to no one. This is the third chapter where things get a bit spicy and there are some shocking new so... see ya!

It was pounding, the rain. It soaked through all of Eliana's clothes, her waterproof cape, her blouse, her bag. She tossed her cape over her bag, not wanting her homework to be wet as she held her home crystal to the sun or what she thought was the sun. 

The crystal created a path as she waved at Lyndsey, Lia and Alec then dove into the light, knowing she could use a forcefield. When she arrived at Glowvale, (a/n another new place since Grady and Edaline are living at Havenfield) she collided into her father, Keefe Sencen who had also arrived home at the same time. Eliana slipped fell into a puddle, feeling the wetness on her chest. She stood up quickly, spitting moss and mud out of her mouth as her father helped her up. 

"Almost as clumsy as your mother," he smirked. Eliana scowled and snapped her fingers. A white dome surrounded their heads and blocked the rain. Her father stood up properly. He was quite tall, around 5,11, and he was even taller when he stood to his full height which was around 6,0 or 6,1 (that was kinda random... :))

Eliana looked up at their family home, a tall skyscraper made up of 500 levels, each level a different theme according to the places they could go to with the Leapmaster 500. The home was surrounded by sweet meadows and bushes of flowers and a strong crystal gate to stop intruders with a special passcode. The home crystal had been edited by her mother and father's Technopath friend who made a special DNA fingerprint lock with it so it only responded with Eliana, her mother or father's fingerprint. Eliana found it really cool.

They burst through the glowing crystal door which was somehow opaque (it was the family mystery hahaha) and closed it, both leaning on the walls of the shiny marble lobby. Sophie came running over and stripped off their wet capes. She scowled at them, as if she wanted to inflict on them and make them clean. They took off their shoes and popped them into their 'home shoes' as Keefe called them. Eliana went straight to the Vortinator and shouted, "369!" It whooshed up to her floor. 

Her room took up the whole floor. The crystal Vortinator stood in the middle, delicate vines of flowers and leaves covered the banisters. Her room was black. Just black with all the stars (apart from the unmapped ones) painted gently on with a loving hand, shimmering with the light, a golden chandelier. On the walls were bookshelves, maps and stickers she'd stuck on when she was a child. The walls were also black with streaks of purple and blue to represent galaxy swirls. Her bed was enormous, taking up the centre of the far wall, the canopy made of Panakes blossoms to represent Calla, the brave gnome to sacrificed herself for the whole kingdom. The duvet was thick and dark purple, matching with the theme. She had a desk propped up on one side of the wall and windows were pressed onto opposite side of the room. There was no door to her room as you could easily just use the Vortinator to get into the middle of her room. Eliana also had a bathroom on the side, one which was completely made of black and purple marble, a bathtub so big it resembled a swimming pool, a shower, a sink and a toilet. On the other side was a walk-in-wardrobe with a myriad of tunics, dresses, capes and trousers, a mirror with lights flashing around it, a big lamp on the ceiling. There was also a jewellery tray, stashed with charm bracelets, necklaces, rings and earrings. 

Eliana gently removed her studs and changed into a simple grey tunic, some leggings and abandoned her cape. She put on some bracelets, shoved a golden ring with runes around it on her thumb and left her nexus and registry pendant on.

She stood on the Vortinator and yelled, "2!" as that was the level of the dining room and kitchen. Immediately, she smelt the warm aroma of some broth Sophie (a/n I can't be bothered to say 'her mother' so Imma just call them their real names but Eliana obviously calls them 'Mum' and 'Dad' [I'm from Cat world and we spell Mother like Mum and you know like the British and Australian kinda spelling so if you're American...]) had just cooked. She ran and tripped over the doorway step. Sophie used her Telekinesis and hovered Eliana up and put her upright. "Are you ok, sweetie?"

Eliana sighed. "I'm fine, Mum. It's just a little bruise. Nothing to worry about." Sophie frowned. "If you insist, sweetie."

Dinner was a subdued affair. Eliana concentrated on swallowing the broth and not vomiting at the sight of her injuries, Keefe was talking about how he accidentally hit someone in the face and Sophie was quiet until she dropped the bombshell. "Actually, I have something to tell you, Eliana. I applied for a teacher at your school, actually. I'll be starting to do inflicting lessons and maybe even linguistical studies." She waited for the effect of her words to sink in.

Eliana's mind whirled. "So, you're going to be my teacher?" Sophie shook her head. "I'll see you at school though," she said, hopefully, trying to get Eliana to smile and say, that's wonderful. Eliana wasn't feeling like it though. She just shrugged and bolted from the room, going onto the Vortinator and murmuring, "230," randomly, trying to ho anywhere but her room as that was the first place they'd search. 

She sighed as she leaned onto the wall, steadying herself when she realised that there was no point of hiding. Eliana stepped onto the Vortinator and choked out, "369." She arrived and barred her room entrance with steel locks and a black curtain before clapping her hands twice, which closed the curtains, and changed into some black pyjamas with purple polka dots. Eliana snapped her fingers twice and the lights closed. 

Before she went to bed, her hand grazed the wall as she steadied herself. She examined her hand. It was enveloped in a purple shimmer. She pressed harder onto the wall. The purple shimmer erupted around her, making her cough but, overall, Eliana survived. It swirmed into the nooks and crannies of her body, entering without permission. Eliana grew frightened but held on. When it was clearly finished, she yanked her hand back and gasped for breath.

She leapt onto the bed, closed the canopy curtains, and drew the duvet up to her chin. Yet, she couldn't sleep.
