Angel Wings
"But Mother-" the voice of a young girl rang out in the hollow halls of the hospital. Ringing and bouncing off the solid walls of white. Sat up in bed With her mother right beside her, becoming to almost every call her daughter wanted.
"I'm sorry darling but i said not today, you re not well." it was the same song and dance they did every day when the young girl wished to go outside to see the flowers,
Birds, and breathe fresh air. They did it every day, it was rutein. The doctor would say maybe today your mother will, but he was wrong every time. same'ol same'ol.
"Maybe tomorrow my darling but not today. You know what they say, another day another chance." The mother always said that, but the girl never got her hopes up, it was Only when her father came to visit every 7 mouths did she even get to go outside, but that was very very rare, he spent most of his time on business trips to pay for His daughter's upcoming treatment of cancer she had to go through. Since the age of 5 the young girl was a prisoner of the hospital room in which she stayed.
Never allowed to go and come as she pleased like other cancer patinas, not since her mother found out that a kind nurse too it out of her busy day to take The girl for a short walk around the block, around the hospital acutely, it was better than nothing and the girl loved it.
"Now darling im doing this for your own good, you'll thank me when your older, and hey your father is coming here soon i hear." the mother brought news of the The husband who was hardly there but did all he could to provide.
"Really Moma, father is coming soon, very soon?" the girl would prackitly bouncing up and down with excitement she couldn't sit still for very long.
"Now Lilith i want you to behave while im gone i be back as soon as i can. Watch the news tonight i hear the notaries Phantom thief Dark will be on it."Her mother Gave her a wink and she squealed in delight.
Lilith keeps the news on all the time, only having cut off by the nurses when she was asleep, she hated when they did that but who could blame them, she didn't,
She just didn't like it.
RING
RING
RING
Her bedroom phone rang; it often did when her friend Iris called. Iris and Lilith where born on the same day and are particle sisters, when Iris isn't at hime or school she s with Lilith doing all the usual things seven year olds do, playing with toys that she brings to share with her friend.
"Hey Lily"
"Hey Rere"
"Lil, i won't be able to make it for the next week, Mom says that she can't bring me up just cause my cousins are coming up, and she says I need to pay attention to others Then just you..."
"Alright, my mother said that my dad might be coming to visit soon, i hope so"
"I hope so too, im sorry to cut this short but mom don't know im on her phone, call ya later!"
"Ha-ha ok don't get caught, ok"
The phone click to an end, she put it back on the stand and turned back to the TV.
'it would seem that tonight s target is the 'Fang of Light', legend has it that the fang of light is said to grant wishes, no one knows where it comes form, only that It is around thousand years old, Phantom Thief Dark must want to make a wish otherwise why would he what to steal it...' Lilith muted it there.
'Oh if i could make a wish it would be to able to fly that would be great.'lily imaging her flying with big white wings, looking like an angel. She smiled to herself.
KNOCK
KNOCK
The knocking brought her out of her thoughts. Her favorite nurse was on duty today and here she was.
"What are you so smiley about dear?" asked the nurse as she placed a plate down, then scooted it over.
"The news just came on..."Lilith as she stuffed her mouth full.
"Whats the great Phantom Thief stealing this time?" the nurse said laughing at the girls attempts to scarf it down.
"The Fang of Light, it s said that it can grand wishes."Lilith managed to answer between mouth full s.
"I see, what would you wish for Lil?"The nurse asked sitting on her bed side
"To be able to fly, then i would be free, i could fly where i wanted to and Moma couldn't stop me... maybe i could even meet the great Phantom thief Dark, i could Have wings like Dark only my wings would be green instead of black like his, he has to have black wings for him to blend into the night. Otherwise he would be Easier to spot. hehe"lily laughed at her-self
The nurse just gave her a look as usual.
the day continued as it always did after that, Lilith would go to kimo, and then back to bed for it always wiped her out and she would nap til four and then watch the News all over again bout the Phantom thief and the other stories she would always hear bout but never pay attention too.
Later that night...
'Dark Whats this art work do that so dangerous?'Daisuke asked looking at the seemingly harmless art work. It was a thick necklace, a metal string holding teeth form An ancient breed of canine, Gray in color with a blue hue to it if in the right lighting.
'It grants wishes what else, simple but very dangerous.' replied Dark as he quickly grabbed the necklace and Sprang for the nearest open window. Takeing flight he teased the police, flying around in circles like a vulture waiting for its prey to give.
After teasing section, and a warning form Daisuke about Krad popping up, They made it far enough away from the police, but Kard could still pop up, and pop up he did. Catching both Dark and Daisuke off guard. Knocking Dark in the back with Accursed white feather, sending the Fang Of Light plummeting to the ground. Dark and Krad fought it out while the wish maker plummeted.
"Goodnight darling, im sorry your father can't be here as soon as he had hoped. I know you where looking forward to seeing him." the mother said comforting her daughter.
"Its ok mom. Dark got away again, it was funny, he flew around in circles waving to them below and then made his escape. They will never catch him."Lilith said trying to cheer up, She hadn't expected her father to be home so soon, he never was.
her mother soon fell asleep in the recliner chair in the room, livening poor lily awake and restless, sneaking out of bed she made her way to the window, she listened to the news as the Thief got away once again. Lilith looked up at the sky, dreaming of being free form this room forever. She suddenly got an idea, looking at her mother,
who was snoring heavily like a chain saw, Lily say her chance.
Thought the hospital halls to the Outside world the girl made her way, acting as thought she was going to her room she snuck past the nurses, guards, and doctors. Stepping out, a cold night wind blew but the Chile didn't bother her, she welcomed it with open arms. Takeing a seat on a nearby bench she looked to the stars, dreaming Of things she wished she could do, being free to do as she pleased.
Suddenly something heavy landed around her neck; a little panicked she looked down, calming she saw it to be a necklace. She gasped when it registered. Not just any necklace It was the Fang of Light. She was very lucky tonight. She would get to make her wish after all.
Defeating Krad and getting away was easy for Dark, the only problem he had was finding the Fang of Light. He saw movement out the corner of his eye, flying down to it he saw A young girl and she had the artifact around her neck. He flew in, time to us his charm.
"Excuse me?"Dark watched as the girl looked around for his voice. Everywhere but the sky, it was always like that. He found it quiet funny, chuckling to himself.
"Up here miss."Dark called as he slowly deceased. He heard a gasp. She relised who it was.
"You re the GREAT PHANTOM THEIF DARK!" Lilith proclaimed.
Dark upon hearing the voice of the girl reiliesed his charm wouldn't work, he would never make a move on a seven year old, they where to venerable. He looked at her And she looked back, she was wearing the necklace, her green eyes shining as she looked up at him, her red hair glancing in the moon's light. Dark knew she would grow up to Be a beauty to behold.
"I think you have something of mine little lady"Dark said pointing at the necklace.
"I know, i watched you take it from the police it was funny how you flew in circles, and they couldn't get ya. hehehe, your really cool Phantom Dark."Lily said ignoring his statement.
"I m glad you think so little missy, but i really need that necklace back, so if you could just hand it over-"Dark said as he reached to take it back.
"Im not a missy, my names lily. My friend Iris calls me lil thought."She said takeing Dark's hand in her and shaking it.
"That s nice lily but i really need that necklace back."Dark said tiring to get her to give it to him.
"But i need it."
"For what?"
"To grant my wish.
'Think of something Dark, we got to get it back.'Daisuke was going nuts in the back of the shared mind; if he could he might have been pulling out his hair.
"What's your wish Lily?"
"I want to be able to be free. I want to fly, like you, to get away from here..."
"Why would you want to get away from here, wouldn't your parents miss you?"
"My dad would, my mom just wants to keep me inside the hospital. She s too protective; she won't let me outside because i have cancer. B-by using the necklace i can wish to Be free and then Moma won't have to worry...and i can go visit dad." Lily explained, tears welling up, trying to keep them back. She wiped them away. She really wishes She wasn't crying in front of her hero. He problably was thinking she was being a baby
"What color would your wings be missy?"Dark asked trying to distract the lass. He hated to see her crying, he could understand it was frustrating.
"Green. Its m-my favorite color. I have green eyes too, so they would match" Lily seemed to be claiming down, takeing her mind away from the sore subject was the best move.
"But i don't think it would be good if you had any other color of wings cause then you couldn't blend in with the night and the police would have a better chance at catching you, but you would never let that happen, cause you re the great Phantom Thief Dark, and you have all those cool moves and magic, oh and my friend Rere says that you are wearing a wig cause no one has jewel hair."
"Jewel hair?"
"like the jewel,Amathfistey."
"You mean Amethyst, right?"
"Yeah, jewel hair. Rere also said that women fall at your feet, is that true? Wouldn t that hurt if they fell? I mean when i fell of the slide when i was four" she held up four of her fingers. "It hurt but i didn't cry, i told Rere, that if they did that then they must have lots of band-aids on their sores."
Dark couldn't help but laugh. The seven year old was clueless to the world; it was funny how she put things. Stooping to her level, Dark looked into her eyes.
"They don't really fall-"Dark started, but suddenly grabbed his head.
'DARK! SHES ONLY SEVEN!'
'I know Diasuke; i wasn't going to say anything like THAT.'
"Phantom Dark are you ok?"
"Eh-umm...yeah, just a lot of things going on, a lot on my plate"
"But i don't see no plate?"
"Not that kind of plate missy"
"I-"
Lilith started into a coughing fit, spiting up blood as she did so, she caoluped to the ground on her hands and knees. She only got into couching fits when she Was really excited and right now she was. Her breathing was heavy, she was shaking with excitement. Dark thinking quickly placed a feather in front of her, using His magic he stopped her coughing.
"You should go back insi-"
"I don't want too!" the girl busted out crying, tears running down her face. "Im always inside. Moma won't let me outside"
She was clenching onto Dark's shirt tightly now, face buried benither the leather. Dark wrapped his arms around the weeping little one. Not knowing what else to do.
Hugging her was calming her down a bit.
"Why can't you go outside?"
"Moma says im not strong enough, she also says i don't have time because i have kimo just about every 8 hours."
'Awwww, poor kid, we have to do something Dark we can't just leave her like this'
'I know Daisuke, but what?'
"That s why i need the Fang of Light, so i can wish to be free, if i can fly then i-i-i WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"h-hey now don't cry, what if you where to fly?"
"Y-yeah but i can't i don't have wings"
"I can take you flying."
'DARK WHAT ARE YOU SAYING! IF THEY SEE YOU WITH HER THEY'LL THINK YOU WHERE KIDNAPPING HER'
Lily was calming down little by little, she was having her hopes get put up high, she really didn't know, she was let down before a lot so she wasn't expecting It to happen. Dark could see the shattered faith she had; it was a sad thing to see when an seven year olds spirit was almost completely shattered to where it couldn't be restored.
Ignoring Daisuke, Dark knew he could help fix her spirit a little her up and holding her close to his side. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and locked her knees in place along his back and stomach, burring her face into his neck.
Flapping His wings Dark took to the skys, the other unlimited big blue.
"Take a look Lily, open sky for you to see"
Dark held on to the girl as she took a look out, her frown turning upside down as she did so. She laughed in joy. The pair of wings Flapped as hard as they could. Takeing the pair into the air, up to the heavens and back. around the town they flew, up and down they went, zigzagging, left to right, loop'de'loops here and spirals There, lily holding onto Dark all the way. But it was shortly lived as they landed back at the hospital. It seemed like everything was so short, nothing could last Forever and it never would.
Lily gave a yawn, smiling and giggling form the night s excitement. She was far too sleepy to stay up anymore and almost fallen if it hadn't been for Dark standing there.
He flew to her room, where he gladly laid her down, takeing the Fang of Light form around her neck. The sun was starting to rise, he had to get going
"Phantom Dark?"
"Yes little missy?"
"You re my hero; don t let the...Police men get ya..."
Dark didn't say anything as she fell asleep, but made her a silent promise, he would never get caught.
