"I'll be right back Dani," her father said to her. "Stay right here." It was one of those things a father who actually cared about his child would say. Dani could never tell if her father loved her. There were times, between all the fighting and the drinking and the beatings. Times that he would tell her stories or take her places or fix up a car with her. But it was hard to tell. She found it hard to believe that a father could beat their children and act the way they do and yet still love them. She just never understood him.
"Ok," she said in a small voice, looking around at all the displays and the people nearby. Many of them were scary look men in her eyes. Satisfied with her answer, her father walked off.
It was getting later and her father had still not returned. It had been two hours. One of the men at a nearby display kept looking at her. "Hey kid, you here with your parents?" She was nervous and just nodded, unable to speak. "Well where they at?"
"My daddy went to go talk to his friend... He'll be back soon," she said to him, looking around for her father. The man just nodded, but he kept an eye on her. He even bought her something to eat for dinner. By the time the show started to close up, the man came back over to her.
"Maybe you should call someone kid," he said to her, a sorry look on his face. "Here's some change... There's a payphone right over there." She thanked him and ran over to the phone, close to tears.
The phone rang and rang. "Hello?" she heard her mother say on the other line. Her mother was furious that her father had left her. She promised someone would be there as soon as possible to pick her up and told her to wait where she was and not to go anywhere with anyone.
Sniffing and hugging herself to keep warm, Dani sat on the curb to wait alone only to be joined by the older man a few moments later. He didn't say anything for a few minutes and just got out a cigarette and lit it up. Seeing that she was cold, he looked at her and handed her his jacket. It was black leather and too big for the little girl of course.
Before she knew it, the man had her laughing at a story he told her as she waited for someone to come get her. They spoke for over an hour before her uncle pulled up.
"Dani," he said, breathing a sigh of relief. "Thank god." He looked at the older man and nodded. "Thank you for watching over her." He seemed a little wary of the man, but you really couldn't blame him.
"No problem, didn't want the poor kid to wait here alone," he said, smiling. When Dani went to hand him back his jacket, he held up a hand. "That's ok kid, you keep it."

History:
Dani had it tough as she was growing up. They lived in a bit of a crappy house somewhere in the city, but her mother always tried to keep things looking nice as she had come from a bit of a better area. She had given that up though when she had met her husband.
Dani's father was not someone whose company was very welcome. He was a drinker and an abuser. Dani rarely had a good moment with her father, but when she did, it always revolved around cars. As a child, she had loved her father, despite everything he had done to her.
When Dani was six years old and her sister Gabrielle was four, her father was arrested for theft. He was imprisoned for three years. Those were the best years of her childhood. When he came home though, everything was alright at first, but then they slowly started to go downhill again.
When he wasn't drunk or angry and had the time, Dani's father taught her everything he knew about cars. By the time she was ten years old, she could hot wire a car, take it apart, clean it and put it back together like a professional. Her father owned a mechanical shop and she often found herself working for him.
Her mother hated it when she spent time with her father, she was afraid he would do something to her. When she wasn't in school or at the mechanics shop, Dani was at the hair salon where her mother worked. This is perhaps what made Dani such a different child. Not only could she work on cars and such, but she could also tell you just about anything about fashion, hair, nails, makeup, anything.
When she was eleven years old, her father took her to an auto show. He told her he would be right back, he had seen an old buddy of his and wanted to take a moment to catch up with him. He never came back to her. She was left there, alone all day and most of the night. Alone and terrified, Dani finally found someone that would lend her money for the payphone. Her uncle came and picked her up, furious that his brother would do such a thing.
Her father came home a few days later, drunk. He had gone drinking with his friend and who knows what happened after that. And of course, despite the fact that they would be hit and he would only let them down again, he was welcomed back home.
At the age of thirteen, Dani discovered her powers. It was just after her sister Olivia was born. Her father had been drinking again and was beating her. She knocked him out cold with her powers. By morning, her father had no memory of the event, but her mother did. It became a secret between them and they managed to keep it.
After her brother Jed was born, Dani's father was arrested again. She seventeen at the time. After that, her mother decided it was safe enough to send her to a special school, where she could learn to use her powers. And so, she came to Valora.
