Even an angel can turn all you knew, all you loved Into darkness. How can you stop something, when the only thing at risk is your heart? Where will you go?
Angels are the most pure beings known to this universe. But, not every angel is pure.. The test is will you let the darkness flow through every inch of your breath, your life. Or will a light shine through...
" Another dream..." A girl with long black hair, sharp ice blue eyes, white skin with a white diamond skakra at her forehead. Awoke dazzely as her eyes scanned her room with white curtains, but everything else was black, dark, and menacing. She looked toward her left to find the rising sun, shining in her face.
She turned to the Celtic design on her hand, a birthmark, with swirls, and a cross in the middle, with wings in the center.
"The light," she looked at the new sun. " Today might be the day..." She closed the curtains as everything, faded to black.
" Danny..." a woman in a blue hazmat suit, opened a door to find her son, surprisingly dressed, bathed, and looking at the sun, like there was a deep meaning to it.
" Danny?" A teen, with shagged black hair, soft blue eyes, and striking features, looked back at the woman.
"Yeah mom. What's up" he asked casually. She looked like she was about to say something, but stopped.
" Make sure you're ready for school."
" Okay" Danny got off his bed as he grabbed his backpack and headed out of his room.
On the first floor he saw Sam and Tucker as he usually did every morning.
" Hey guys."
" Wow...you're actually UP this morning" piped Sam then Tucker got a grin on his face.
" Yeah remember when all THREE of us had to drag you out of bed." Danny looked a bit annoyed.
" uh huh and remember when this happens..." Danny's eyes flashed green then Tucker's face dropped. Danny rolled his eyes.
" just kidding. C'mon lets get outta here" Danny followed his friends outside as he closed the door.
The three teens were walking, it was windy, cold but a calm sense at hand as the streets were empty. The only life nearby were the passing cars, that even were distant from everywhere. The only things they had besides each other, were the falling leaves, dancing from the sky with the wind, softly onto the ground. Sam looked over to Danny who was staring at the ground.
"Danny...you're really quiet." Danny turned to her.
" Oh, it's just..." Tucker and Sam both turned to Danny because they knew when he started out like that awkwardly, there was usually a reason.
" I just feel strange, like suddenly something big is about to happen. But what was really weird was the sun."
" The sun? since when did you wake up that early?"
" That's my point. It's like...well it felt different, the light wasn't ordinary. It's like it gave a sign."
" O...kay."
" well you wanted to know...and-" Danny cut himself off.
" Yeah?..."
" Nothing."
They continued on, but Danny stopped as he saw a black and white feather drop from the sky. He looked up but he saw nothing. He decided to grab the feather as he examined it, turning it back and forth, it was soft yet it wasn't fragile it seemed new, then he slipped it into his backpack.
They walked into the noisy halls of the high school like nothing special. But through the crowds, he saw a girl with sharp-edged glasses, a red and black corset top with fish-net arms, a long red skirt with black lacing at the sides.Black hair tied in a bun except for two long locks that hanged. He walked over to her with curiosity because he had never seen her before, and his locker was right next to hers.
" Hi, are you new?" She looked up to him, he noticed at her piercing blue eyes, with great depth, also with pain, sorrow, and strife.
" Um...yeah you can say that."
" well it doesn't look like you would go to high school."
" What do you mean?" Tucker and Sam walked up to them.
" How old are you?" asked Sam.
" Why? guess..."
" well, you look 20 but in the good way." said Tucker
" Oh.. well I'm 15..but...thanks?" she giggled a bit at that awkwardly.
" Well this is Sam, Tucker and I'm Danny."
"Rose. Rose Madison"
" It's nice to meet you, not too many people are goth you know." said Sam
" Well, sure, sorry but I have to get to class, see you around." She took off without another word."
" Good job Tucker you probably scared her away." said Sam
" Hey." Danny looked over infront of Rose's locker and saw a white feather. He looked at it strangely then put it in his back pack again.
In Lancer's class Danny sat with his friends, but in the front of the class he saw rose, writtting something. Then Lancer came in.
"Morning class, we have a new student." Rose got up as she faced the class.
" This is Rose Madision." She slightly waved to the class, as they paid no attention to her she sat back down. Danny saw Lancer busy writting something on the overhead so he walked up to her.
" Hey Danny." Rose said casually not even looking at him.
" How did you know it was me."
" I have good hearing." Danny looked over to what she was looking at. It was stone tile with a dead language that Danny didn't seem to understand. She put it away quickly, but Danny caught a glimpse of one word 'angelus'
"What was that." Danny asked curiously
" Oh...n..nothing."
" Mr. Fenton will you take your seat, class has started." Danny looked back at Lancer then sat down.
During lunch Danny sat with Tucker and Sam. They ate quietly until Danny asked.
" Anybody know what 'angelus' means."
" Angel.." pipped Sam eating her salad.
" Wha..."
" It means 'angel' in Latin. Why do you ask Danny?"
" Well I was talking to Rose, and she had something out, like a little stone note card thingy, anyways I looked and I saw the word 'angelus' on it with other words, but she put it away too quickly."
" First, why are you looking at another person's business, second, why would she try and hide it?"
" I was curious, and why don't you ask her?"
"Oh yeah right. I think Tucker already freaked her out enough today."
"Hey, it was meant as a compliment."
"Yeah...speaking of that. Where is she."Danny asked peering around the room. Sam took a bite off her salad.
"I dont' know." Danny walked off, he went close to the window then for a fleeting second he saw a black blur racing across. He blinked his eyes, looking more closely out, but he saw nothing.
He walked away still a bit curious as to what he saw or if he DID see anything at all.
He just decided that his head was just tired from school.
Outside the window, on the lawn, there were some drips of fresh, crimson liquid. Blood.
It was P.E. and inside the girls locker room, Sam was undressing next to Rose. Nothing special, nothing important, but Sam caught a glimpse of Rose's right palm as she was undressing and stared at it. Rose caught Sam looking and thought it a bit queer.
" Oh." Sam blinked, she looked back up at Rose.
" You're hand."
"What?" Rose asked, Sam took her hand and held it open and there was the mark with the cross and wings.
" Is this 'Hanna' (is that what you call 'ink tattoo.)" Rose looked at it, almost hesitating to find the right answer.
" uh...sure."
" well, it looked a bit too real, and thats why I was curious. Sorry if it felt awkward."
" Not at all." Rose turned to her locker as Sam noticed scars and a bit of blood from the back of her bra, but didn't say anything.
The guys and girls walked out into the gym, dressed in red and white, they noticed that their P.E. teacher was with Mr. Straford, who usually taught the kids at the middle school, also they had a boombox.
" Hello class, I know today you might be expecting to play basketball, soccer, or whatever. Today we are going to do 'ballroom' dancing." Alot of people's eyes widened , some moaned, and others didn't really seem to care.
" I know this sounds odd, but it is physical exercise and is required, so find a partner." Mrs. Howe instructed to everyone as she put in a cd and it played classical music." There were more moans from the popular group, still, everyone found partners.
" Once you have you're partners-" She looked over at the 'class clowns' who were best friends, both girls as they started to dance and looked like they were about to laugh as everyone was snickering at them.
" partners of the opposite sex ladies." They rolled their eyes as they walked away.
" Don't blame us if somebody starts frenching or gets butt rapped."
"That reminds me, no sexually activity here. Please. Save that for...whatever." Groups started separating as Sam paired up with Quan, Tucker with Valerie, Dash with Star. Danny however was still single as he noticed Rose was sitting on one of the bleachers. He walked up to her.
" Rose..." She looked at him with a benign expression.
" Yeah." Danny raised his shoulders and took out his hand.
" Care to dance?" She looked like she was about to say something but stopped herself.
" Sure." Rose hopped off the stage and grabbed Danny's hand. They walked toward the center.
" Now those of you who have you're partners, grab hands and face each other, guys, put your hand on you're partners waist, and move their waist in the direction you follow, as you move you're left foot first, then back with your right."
Danny and Rose turned to each other as Danny put his hand on her waist, which felt tight and curvy, and Rose felt a bit awkward, but just kept telling herself'' this is just for school'. As they sort of got it together, they tripped onto each others shoes a couple of times, then after a while, they just started to walk and make it look like they were dancing.
Rose kept her eyes to the boombox, listening intently to the sound, Danny got a bit bored and curious so he asked what she was doing.
" What are you doing?"
" I know this song?"
"Wha..."
" It's the piano part of 'good enough' by evanescence." Danny tuned his hearing to the boombox and noticed the similarity.
" Yeah...it is ." Suddenly the music stopped.
" Alright everyone time to switch." called Mr. Straford. The teens crowded as Rose got lost by the crowds of teens rushing through as she was left alone...with Dash Baxter. He grinned at her,as Rose just smiled, fakely. Anyone who was gullible as Dash might think he was turning her on. But anyone with a brain cell would know that smile, was different kind of meaning to the term 'smile'.
'Dear God help me.'
The music started up again as Dash grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to him, as Danny was watching intently, angered at Dash for trying to take advantage of her.
As they were 'dancing', Dash put on his, cool jock, act as he was grinning devilishly, not even glancing at Rose. She felt his hand sliding downward, and she felt her blood boil slowly.
" I think, babe, that there is a feeling between us." cooed Dash. Rose narrowed her eyes as she sharply took her hand and grabbed his, stopping the dance.
" And I think you're feeling down my back side-" She threw his hands away from her as she stormed off, away from the crowd and through the door. The bell rang and Danny, who saw everything, decided to follow her. Since school let out, he could take all his time.
Rose changed in her usual attire as she was walking with a black backpack in the ghetto part of Amity park. It was dark, cold, there was no one in sight. She walked into an alleyway, as she hopped on the dumpster getting a rusty crowbar, using the hook of it, she hanged it on a metal ladder which slid down making an eerie screech as she dropped the bar and started to climb it.
In the wall opposite of the dumpster, came the head of white and green eyes. Danny phantom. He followed her, curious as to where she went after school, almost as if she disappeared. He looked up at her as she was climbing the ladders, heading on to the top. Where there were no more ladders, she got up on the side railing and leapt up on the rooftop.
Danny's eyes widened, the rail was seven feet from top, he wondered how could she have jumped like that. Now she just walked to the center more and sat down. Danny decided to go home before his parents got worried, besides there was nothing strange so he flew off. Rose gazed at the setting sun then pulled her hand out from her sleeve and looked at her palm which started to glow, like the rays of the sun. She sighed as she softly closed her eyes. She took off her glasses, as she closed her eyes once more, they changed. The once piercing blue was now the burning auburn matching the sunlight as her pupils, became long, like cats eyes.
Rose put her knees toward her as her arms hugged them. Her eyes were reflecting off the light, watching the sun set.
" Will the prophecy..."
she looked at her palm again as it turned back to normal,"acually come true..."
She took a last glimpse at the faded sun, now it was dark.
" I pray it won't"
