Unchained

AVA!!!!! Honey!!!! It's time for dinner!!! Hayden yelled through the house as she made her daughter's plate. Hayden knew that Ava would want some fresh blood because more an more these days she requested blood over actual food. Hayden sat Ava's plate down on the table an looked down the hallway towards her room. Ava!!! Come on Pumpkin! You need to eat. Hayden yelled. Mommy!!! I told you not to call me that! Ava said as she sassed her way into the dining room with her plastic high heels an her frilly princess dress. Call you what Sweet Pea? Hayden mocked with a smile. That! Mommy! I told you not to call me that! I am five years old now Mom. I am not a Sweet Pea ORRRRR a Pumpkin. You know Uncle Xavier and Auntie Charlie always tell me that I'm getting so much bigger, I would like you to call me by my Goddess given name. Ava argued with a roll of her big blue eyes. Your Goddess given name huh? Where on earth did you hear that from? Hayden asked with a huge smile on her face. Hayden knelt down in front of Ava. Ava put her hand on her hip and sighed, which made Hayden laugh. I heard Daddy talk about his Goddess given name one day. He said the Goddess named him Devlin. Daddy's name is Devlin and your name is Hayden Mommy. The Goddess named you that. Just like she named me Ava. She said as she added her other hand to her other hip. Okay Sweetie, can you please sit down an eat your food for me? Hayden asked while trying not to grin any bigger. Mommy, food doesn't taste good anymore. Can I have some blood please? Ava asked sweetly. You sure you don't want to at least try it Hun? Mommy would prefer that you ate just a little bit of your food tonight. You've had blood all this week. I don't want you to just depend on that. Hayden explained. Ava looked at Hayden with her big blue eyes. Okay Mommy. I will try, but it makes me want to puke. Then after I eat it,  I feel sick to my tummy. Ava said as she held her stomach. Okay baby, then if it makes you feel that way, I will give you blood. Maybe as your body is growing you are taking more after your father than me. Hayden explained an leaned down to give Ava a hug. Ava wrapped her tiny arms around her an squeezed. OHHHHHH, you are so strong! Hayden laughed as she gave Ava a kiss on the cheek. So are you Mommy. Ava said as she pulled back from the hug to look at Hayden. How do you know that baby girl? Hayden asked. Ava tilted her head to the side. I remember when we had to fight those bad guys a long time ago. I remember how strong you were. Ava stated. Don't you remember Mommy? she added. Hayden looked at Ava with confusion. Ava, how do you remember that? You were only a few weeks old at the time. It's been five whole years since that happened. Hayden explained. Ava gave her a thoughtful look. I don't really know, I just do. Ava said as she climbed up into the chair to sit at the dining room table. Can I please have my shake now Mommy? She asked sweetly. Hayden shook her head an slowly stood up and turned around and headed to the kitchen to make her the blood shake that she requested. Hayden wondered the whole time she went through the motions of making it, how the hell she remembered something so long ago and the age she was at the time, she shouldn't have remembered that at all. Hayden wondered if this had something to do with the magic outburst that Ava had been experiencing lately. Hayden thought about how last week Ava stood in the hallway motionless with a blank look on her face. When Hayden had tried to get her to respond Ava brought her hand up and blasted Hayden across the room with what felt like extremely strong, forceful air. I need to talk to Amony and Attica now. Hayden thought to herself. Before this gets out of hand she thought with a horrible feeling. She knew that her daughter would never hurt her because when she had asked Ava what happened, she had no recollection of what happened. She thought her mommy was joking with her.  Sweet Pea, you ready to go visit with Aunt Amony and Aunt Attica? Hayden asked Ava as she put her shoes on. Sure Mommy! I lovvvvveeeee going to see them! They are my favorite. Will Daddy be going with us? She asked as she put her toys into her toy box. No Hunny, Daddy is out with Uncle Xavier at the club. They had to get some supplies for tonight's reopening. They won't be back until later tonight. Hayden said as she walked over to her daughter and knelt down to put her shoes on her. Ava stuck her foot out and smiled. Hayden placed her shoe on her right foot. Is Aunt Charlie an Ashton coming? Ava asked curiously as she put her left foot up for Hayden to put her other shoe on. After tying her shoes, Hayden looked up at Ava with a smile. Sure Baby, we can stop there first and ask them if they want to join us. Ava got quiet for a moment as she looked up at the blank television. Hayden stood an followed Ava's gaze. Ava? What is it Pumpkin? Hayden asked nervously, hoping she wasn't having another one of her episodes. Ava looked over at her mom an smiled. Nothing Mommy, I was just thinking about Ashton. He is my best friend. I've seen us in the future too Mommy! Do you know we get married when we get older?! Ava said with enthusiasm. Hayden tilted her head and looked at Ava with her brows furrowed. Ava? How do you know that? Did you have a dream? Hayden asked her. No silly......... I just......... see things that haven't happened yet. Ava said seriously. Well baby, maybe it was just a dream. You never know, our minds are a wonderful thing. They make us see all sorts of crazy, extreme and different things after we go to sleep. Hayden explained. It wasn't a dream Mommy! I know the difference! Ava stated with a little bit of underlining anger. Her eyes sparked with power. It was just a split second. If Hayden hadn't been looking into her eyes she would have missed it. It's Okay Sweet heart, I believe you. I guess I just misunderstood you. Hayden knelt down and gave Ava a big hug. When she pulled back she gave Ava a smile. Ava smiled back. It's Okay Mommy. You will see one day. Ava said as she stood up and walked over to the door, her long black hair swinging behind her in a pony tail. Hayden took a deep breath an sighed as she stood up. She sent a silent prayer up to the Goddess and walked out of the door behind her daughter. She didn't know what was going on with her daughter the last few weeks but she knew she had to get some answers, and soon.  Hello my BEAUTIFUL, FAVORITE, BIG GIRL in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD! Where have you been? Why haven't you been over to see us in a few days? Charlie yelled as Ava ran through the house and gave her Aunt a big hug. I MISSED YOU AUNT CHARR!!! Ava yelled as she squeezed Charlie in a big hug. Mommy and I have been busy getting new decorations for my room!!! I get to do my room in unicorns and rainbows now! Mommy said that you and Ashton were at Aunt Lily's for a few days an you couldn't come with us. Ava explained. Charlie pulled back from the hug to look at Ava. Yes, your right pretty girl, we were spending some time with her for a few days. Uncle Derrick is out of town and she didn't want to be all by herself in that big house. Charlie explained. Ava furrowed her brows an then smiled. But....... she is a grown up, grown ups can handle being alone. They aren't scared of anything! Ava said as she placed her hand on her hip. Charlie laughed. Well Ava, She wasn't scared, she just wanted some company. Charlie replied. Oh, Okay. Where is Ashton? I want to play with him before we go to Aunt Attica's, Aunt Amony is gonna be there too! We came over to see if you guys wanted to come with us. Ava said as she looked over Charlie's shoulder towards Ashton's room. Well, that sounds great. Ashton is in his room, but we would love to go with you! Charlie stated with a smile. Ava took off running down the hall towards Ashton's room. Charlie turned and looked at Ava as she ran down the hallway. She turned back to Hayden. Girl!!!! Time flies. Our babies aren't babies anymore. Charlie said as she walked over to give Hayden a hug. Your telling me! Hayden replied as she hugged her back. Wait until I tell you what Ava just told me. Hayden said as she pulled away from the hug to look at Charlie. We may need a drink for this one! Hayden said with a huge smile. Ugghh Ohhh. That bad huh? Charlie asked with a weary expression on her face. I don't know if it's good or bad, but, it blew my mind. I'm still reeling from it. Hayden responded. Yep, Let me get the wine real quick. Hold that thought. Charlie said as she held up her index finger and headed to the kitchen. She came back out a moment later with two wine glasses and a bottle of red wine. Now, Where were we? Charlie sat on the couch and put the wine glasses on the coffee table. She patted the seat beside of her an Hayden walked over an sat down. Hayden waited for Charlie to pour the wine. After she did, Hayden picked up her glass and took a big drink. Charlie looked at her wide eyed. Damn girl....... SPILL. I need to know this juicy detail ASAP. Charlie said and then took a sip of her own wine. Hayden looked at her and sighed. Ava jus told me before we left the house that she has seen the future and that her and Ashton will be married when they get older. Hayden said with a serious look on her face. Charlie tilted her head and didn't say anything for a few minutes. Once she could gather herself again she sighed. Does she have visions like you do? Charlie asked curiously. I don't know? I'm guessing so after she told me that, but that's why we are going to see Attica and Amony, I am really hoping that they can give me a few answers. She has been losing control of her powers. When she does though, it's like she...... blacks out or has a moment where she isn't here. After the episodes I ask her about them an she doesn't know what I'm talking about. Last week I was headed to her room, soon as I turned into the hallway.... there she was, staring blankly and motionless in the middle of it. When I knelt down to "wake her up" she lifted her left hand, palm flat out and blasted me across the room with air. Hayden explained. Charlie's jaw dropped. Oh my Goddess Hayden! What are we still doing here? We need to get over there now. If anyone can give you answers, they are the ones that can. Specially Amony. Charlie exclaimed. Hayden put  her index finger up to her lips. I don't want her to know about it yet. I need to find out what is going on with her first. Hayden said softly. Charlie nodded an tipped her wine glass up, drinking the whole glass in one drink. Ok, Let's Go! Charlie said as she stood up and headed to Ashton's room to get the kids. Hayden stared after her. She was hoping and praying they could give her the answers she so desperately needed. She knew her daughter was powerful, she had heard it multiple times before she was born an really proved it during the battle with the Devil's Flag. Without Ava that day, they would have all died. She was just hoping that Amony was right. "If she is raised in the right hands, she will bring peace to our world, raised in the wrong hands she will bring darkness" She still remembered those words until this day as if they were just spoken to her yesterday. Please Amony, Please be right. Hayden thought to herself as Charlie came back into the room with Ashton an Ava. Attica was on the porch waiting for them when they walked up. Hello Ava, Hello Ashton..... how are my two favorite children. Attica said as the children ran up onto the porch to give Attica a hug. Auntie Attica!!!!! Ava yelled as she embraced Attica around the waist. Ashton held onto her leg. We missed you!!! Ashton chimed in. Well I missed you two as well!!! Why don't you guys go ahead in, The game room is already waiting on you. Attica said as she opened the back door. Soon as the children ran into the house with joy, Attica closed the door and turned to look at Hayden and Charlie. SO..... You gonna tell me what's going on? Amony just told me that your very worried about Ava. Attica stated. Why haven't you told me anything? Every time I ask, you tell me everything is fine but you know how Amony is ......... she senses these things. she added with her hands on her hips. Hayden looked at Charlie an then down at her feet. I've been scared, I figured if I just let it go, maybe, just maybe it would go away. All this didn't start happening until a week before her fifth birthday. The day of her birthday was the first "episode". Hayden air quoted. Attica looked at Hayden with a sideways look. Come sit down, we need to talk. Amony is down in the game room with the kids. She is gonna try to get a read on Ava. Attica said as she walked over to the porch chair an sat down. Hayden and Charlie walked onto the porch an sat down in the chairs next to her. Now, tell me about these episodes Hayden. Start from the beginning. Attica said. Hayden took a deep breath an looked over at Charlie. Charlie nodded an took Hayden's hand into hers. Hayden looked back at Attica. Well, the first time, like I said, was a week before her birthday. I walked into her room and it was like she was in a daze. She couldn't hear me, her eyes were glowing an I couldn't get her to snap out of it. After about ten minutes she snapped out of it like nothing ever happened. That was the end of that incident. Well, on her birthday, after the party, I walked into her room again and this time was a little different. Hayden explained and then stopped and looked up at the sky. When she looked back at Attica to continue the story she had tears in her eyes. It's Okay Sweet Heart, we are here for you. We will help you in anyway that we can. We aren't here to judge, we have seen a lot more than a little girl coming into her powers. Attica explained. Hayden wiped at her tears an nodded. Thank you ladies. It means a lot. She is just the smartest, sweetest, little girl ever, that's why it's so hard to tell you the rest. Hayden said seriously, still trying to keep the tears at bay. Attica gave her a sad smile. Go Ahead Hayden, no matter what we will figure this out. She said softly. Hayden nodded again. Well, I walked into her room after her birthday party and she was in that state again, one of her episodes as I call it. I tried to get her to respond to me an she wouldn't, it's like she was somewhere else. When I touched her shoulder, she lifted her palm an everything in her room started flying off of the shelf. Her big unicorn lamp flew at the window and busted it. Then when I thought the noise couldn't get any louder............... everything just stopped where they were, dead silent, floating in mid air and when Ava looked up at me and smiled, everything just hit the floor. The items stayed suspended in the air for a good minute. Her eyes were glowing like before but this time her palms were as well. When everything hit the ground, Ava got so scared. I just told her it was a small earth quake. I didn't know what else to say. She even slept in our room that night. Hayden explained. Is that all that happened? Charlie asked curiously. Is there more? Attica added. Hayden shook her head. Yeah, that isn't even the worst of it. Hayden stated seriously. This last episode was the worst so far. I turned the corner the other day to head to Ava's room an she was in the middle of the hallway. She had the same look on her face. She stood motionless, eyes glowing. Again, I tried to get her to respond. Hayden sighed again and went on. This time when I touched her shoulder she lifted her palm, but this time it wasn't objects that got tossed around the room........... It was me. I felt like I got hit with a huge gust of wind, very forceful wind,  an thrown against the door. Hayden explained as a tear slid free. She wiped it quickly. Attica's mouth hung open. She was shocked. Speechless. It took a moment before she gathered what she wanted to say. Well, maybe, she is just starting to grow her powers. Maybe we need to help her control them? Attica suggested. Hayden shook her head. No, every time I asked her about it after the episode. She didn't remember anything that happened. Hayden said with a sad expression. Damn. That is unbelievable. Charlie stated with her hand over her mouth. Attica stood up from her chair. Well.............. Let's head down stairs to the game room an hope that Amony has gotten a very good read on her. Attica said as she waited for Hayden an Charlie to stand. Soon as they did she turned and opened the back door, allowing them to head in first. Attica looked up at the sky before she shut the door. She sent a silent prayer up to the Goddess asking for guidance. Because from what she just heard, She had no idea in hell on how to deal with this situation. She just hoped that Amony did. Prayed that she did.
