Chapter 14
Kyliee
I was sitting on the floor while drawing with Sally and Savannah was watching over us for a bit. "Kyliee," I looked and saw Jackie and he had a smile. "Wanna come with me for a little while?"
I nodded and went over to him as he led me to his room. I smiled a bit and looked over at him. "So what is it?"
"Well, I heard my sister had joined a circus, so I thought we could check it out, if you want to." He said with a smile and I grinned.
"Yes!" I exclaimed and he chuckled as I ran up and hugged him.
"Alright, kiddo. Let's go then." Jackie said and I felt him wrap his arms around me and he lifted me up before smoke appeared around us and then went away.
We were now at a carnival and I smiled happily. A lot of people walked around, but there was still plenty of space, so it wasn't overly crowded. I saw a cotton candy stand and I grinned happily. "Come on, Jackie!" I exclaimed, happily as I ran over to the stand. He followed shortly behind and I saw about nine of them set up on stands and I smiled before taking two of them off and gave one to Jackie. We then went to a tent and I grabbed a couple bags of medium popcorn as well.
I felt Jackie rub my head a bit and I looked at him. "You becoming good at bekng a little theif, aren't ya kiddo?" He asked and I giggled.
"I learned from Anna." I said and he chuckled a bit as we went inside.
"Let's go watch the show." He said and I nodded happily.
"LJ, Kyliee!" We both looked to see Liliana running up to us and she had an excited tone. "Glad you two could make it." She said and Jackie smiled.
"Wouldn't miss it, especially if my sis is playing along." He said and I smiled a bit, shyly.
I saw Vivana with a woman who had long black hair and from what I could tell was a suit and she seemed tall for a woman. . .probably taller than Mommy, actually. . .
I felt kinda intimidated if I was close to her, honestly. Viviana then turned and began walking away as I noticed the woman walking away, but she began walking towards us, so I quickly hid behind Jackie, wearily and only peeked out a bit from behind him, making him look at me for a bit.
"Liliana," the woman that was walking towards us spoke up and it actually sounded softer than I thought her voice would. Liliana looked towards her curiously. "It's almost time, so better get moving quickly. . ." She said and Liliana nodded.
"Oh, right! Come on, you two. I got some seats open for you two." She said and I looked at her for a moment before Jackie smiled.
"Alright." He said and we were led onto the bleachers and into a whole row meant for VIPs in the far back row.
After a while, I smiled as the whole crowd had been put to forceful sleep once the show was over. One of the woman seemed to look very similar to Jackie before he lost his colors and I got a bit excited as Jackie smiled and stood up.
"Let's go, Kyliee." He said and I smiled at him.
"Okay," I said, smiling a bit and he led me down off of the bleachers. When we got off of the bleachers, I couldn't help but grin and run up at the clown woman and she seemed a bit shocked as I tumbled her over excitedly and she flew back a bit with me glomped to me and I heard Jackie chuckle.
"Kyliee, did you have to tackle her?" Jackie asked and he sounded more amused than anything else with the fact I tackled someone about two or three times my height. . .
"Kyliee?" The woman asked, sitting up and I kept a grin with a nod.
"Yeah, she's the one I told ya about, LL." Liliana said and I suddenly got picked up off of her and I looked to see Viviana had picked me up, which I had no idea how she got here again. Maybe she's just been backstage and decided to just now come out.
"Really?" The clown woman, LL, said and I looked at her as LJ smiled.
"Yeah, and she's also a bit of a spoiled child when it comes to sweets." He said and I smiled a bit. LL smiled as she stood up to recover from me tackling her.
"I thought you would've killed her with how you are now, Jack." She said and I paled a bit.
"Not this one," Jackie said and he rubbed mg head a bit and I smiled a bit with a small blush while glancing over at him. "I've become pretty fond of her quickly." He said and LL seemed a bit confused before chuckling.
"I see how it is." She said with a smile. Viviana then set me down and smiled slightly.
"Either way," the tall woman, Kalani, spoke up as she wore more casual clothing. A black leather jacket with red short sleeves and it revealed some of her chest, but not too much. She wore a red belt with black pants and red leg cuffs that was designed on it, while also leaving her barefooted. "I think it strange when you're a clown that kills children. . ." She said and LJ stared at her for a moment.
"Certain children get away with it," he said and I looked over at him for a second.
"No trying to pester LJ about that sort of thing, okay, Kalani?" Liliana said while pushing Kalani to backstage.
"Fine. . ." She said simply and I smiled a bit.
"Kyliee," I looked over at Viviana and her previously purple hair was replaced with a brown color. "How about walking around the carnival with me for a bit?"
"Okay," I said and I went with her outside the tent and went to a stand with her. "Why does your hair change color?" I asked and she glanced at me.
"It just changes color according to how I feel." She said snd I tilted my head a bit.
"What does brown mean then?" I asked curiously and she looked at me.
"It usually means I'm approachable, mostly." She said and I smiled a bit.
"And purple?"
"Between being in my thoughts or acting royally." She said with crossed arms. Her hair stayed brown though. "Anyway, Grande wanted me to send you this," she said and she held a paper to me and I grabbed it, looking at it, but it was folded. "He seems to have taken a liking to you." She said and I looked up at her for a moment as I looked back at the paper.
"He has?" I asked and she smiled slightly.
"Yeah. I think he'd like to see you around a bit more." She said with a small smile.
"What about Poppy and Jay?" I asked and she seemed to be caught offguard for a moment before she began laughing.
"Poppy?!" She exclaimed, while laughing and she began rubbing my head a bit, making me shut my eyes for a moment. "Yiu know, kiddo, maybe not call Candy Pop 'Poppy' or you'll be stuck with him trying to hurt ya." She said and I tilted my head a bit.
"Why would he hurt me though?"
"There are people who only accept certain nicknames." She said and I blinked a couple of times.
"Okay," I said, before smiling and she smiled back a bit.
"How about just sticking to Candy for Candy Pop?" She said and I nodded a bit.
"Okay," I said and she looked around for a moment before narrowing her eyes in a direction before she put a hand on my shoulder.
"Get on the other side of me." She said as her hair changed to red. I did as she said and when I looked over, I saw a strange looking man and he had blonde hair and red eyes, which looked familiar, but I didn't know from where. "Let's go." She said simply and she began taking me elsewhere, even though I was confused.
"Who was that man?"
"He's someone you don't want to triffle with at any point. Especially you." She said simply and I was getting a bit worried now. . . "Stay close and don't go anywhere near him." She said and I was still confused but I did as she said and stayed close to her.
"Who is he?" I asked her and she had her arm around my shoulders before she glared at the man and then pulled to in front of her and embraced me before we went into a puff of smoke and next thing I saw was nothing but darkness. "Vivi? What happened?" I asked, confused and she lossened her grip on me and stared towards a direction.
"We're just lucky he didn't know it was you. . ." She said and I looked ar her.
"Can you please explain what's going on with that guy?!" I yelled quickly and she put her hand over my mouth.
"I'll explain later when your mother's here as well." She said and I pouted a bit with a huff and puffed cheeks.
"Fine. . ." I muttered, looking away from her.
"Let's go." She said and she began walking and I followed as she managed to find the door and open it. It opened and the room felt familiar to me, since it looked like a room where a baby was. I heard crying and I walked over to see the baby I saw when I last came here with Jeff. "Kyliee?" Viviana called and I looked at her for a moment. "Best we left this house before-" Next thing I knew, the baby began tugging on my dress. I looked at the baby, blinking a couple of times. It was in it's prison and I picked up the baby from inside and set it on the ground. It giggled a bit and began crawling to Viviana, making her step back a bit. "Hey, I-I don't deal with babies like you, okay?" She said, but the baby managed to catch her and it hugged her leg when she went against the wall.
"Mama," I giggled a bit.
"They think you're their mother," I said, smiling.
"Typical. . ." She muttered and then she picked up the baby before it seemed to try and bury its face into her chest and I got confused. "Kyliee, get me a full bottle." She said and I nodded before grabbing one from the fridge and I went over, handing it to her. She began letting the baby drink it.
I tilted my head a bit curiously and the baby then stopped drinking from it and then looked at me before giggling a bit while reaching towards me. Viviana set the baby down onto the floor and the baby crawled up to me and I crouched down a bit brfore the baby crawled behind my cloak and I felt him grab my wing and my eyes widened a bit before I had my cloak moved out of the way and I looked at the baby as he was now trying nibble on my wing, but he had no teeth, so it was more like gumming my wing, actually.
I blinked a couple of times as the baby grinned, giggling. I picked up the baby from my wing and stared at him for a moment before Viviana spoke up.
"Seems like you two like each other. . ." Viviana said and the baby giggled a bit before reaching for my face and I looked at him.
"He kinda seems to. . ." I muttered and Viviana looked towards the door for a moment.
"Stay in here, Kyliee." She said before leaving. Once the door shut, I looked at the baby and tilted my head a bit and the baby mimicked me. I then got an idea and went about grabbing a book off of the shelf.
First one I grabbed was one called 'Fifty Shades of Grey' and I became curious and then smiled.
Maybe this could help the baby learn different shades between black and white! I thought simply and I set the book down in front of the baby.
