I have to leave tonight. I must, there is no place for me in the darkness anymore.
Those are the words Darkess Black, mortal daughter of Pitch Black aka Boogieman, thought as she ran away from home. She ran from not only him, but her brother as well, from everything she knew. As to why the question was simply answered, unlike her father and brother she hated the darkness and it hated her in return. She came to the edge of the icy forest she had been running through and stopped setting her hands on her knees. Her beautiful, long, ebony colored hair falling down and around her shoulders.
Her chocolate brown eye gazing and the strange ground under her feet, it was covered with snow, yet it was still black with two strange yellow lines right under her feet. She couldn't help the curiosity she felt and reached down to touch it. It was cold and hard as a rock maybe even harder, she didn't notice however the hum of a car and the squeal of slamming brakes until it was to late and a blue ford hit her, the impact bone shattering and killing her almost instantly.
The truck however didn't stop and just zoomed off like it had just hit a bump or something, anything besides an eighteen year old girl, whom had run away from home. She looked at the moon with what little energy she had left and didn't curse or swear, didn't even blame the moon. "Thank you, for being there to chase away the darkness and fear in my last few moments of life," she said softly unknowing that the moon had heard the true wish of not dying and saw the undying love in her heart she had for the very person, the very truck that hit her and put her in this situation. It mad the Man in the Moon stop and think before taking on his silver haired violet eyed human form and landing beside the dying girl.
"What is your name child?," he asked softly holding her in his arms. "No longer have one, no home, no family," she said softly life slowly fading from her eyes. "Are you scared child?," he asked. "Why should I be? Is it so bad that i don't fear death?," she stated before closing her eyes. "Valentine," he said. "Huh," she murmured. "I hereby name you, Emiko Valentine, or Cupid, for short," he said. "Cupid... I like that," she mumbled. She fell unconcious and with that Manny (Man in Moon) worked his magic. Her hair turned a shade of light pink, her skin once pale, now had a nice natural summer glow to it. When she opened her eyes they were violet, just like his. "You are now my daughter, and the gaurdian of love and compassion, Emiko Valentine, Cupid, whatever it is," he said and smiled at the teen. "Thank you," she said and then watched as he disappeared, she then looked at the moon in the sky and smiled. Who knew, for all she knew this change was good.
