Loving Death

Underworld

"Ugh… another late night" Danny spoke softly with his gaze staring road, he passed a couple who held hands. Danny stops slightly and stared at them, watching the woman hug the man's arm. He never felt a love of a woman and knew, he would most likely never will.

"Holding his arm lovingly…. the man looking down at her with eyes only for her" Danny smiled slightly and simply continued to his way home.

"I better head home... The rain getting worst" Danny quickly moved through the streets of Amity Park, he was running late, he wanted to be home by ten It was already passed. Danny rushed home when he noticed the forest, slowly stops and stared at the dark woods and felt something calling him. Danny debated If he should use the forest as a short cut, he knew the forest would cut ten minutes from the other route.

Danny slowly walked towards the forest, he cautiously looked behind looking back at the empty streets. He could feel his heart beating out of his chest as he entered the strange forest, he didn't understand why he was doing this? He knew the forest was dangerous at night even during the day, he could barely see his own nose in front of him.

"Where am I?" Danny whispered softly stepping over a fallen tree, "I should head back…."

He stops and tried to figure out which way he had come, but wasn't able to see a single thing. Danny continued to walk ahead and heard the wind blowing in the trees, the leaves making a soft sound in his ears. He felt his hand shake slightly as he approached the center of the forest, he stood under the moonlight, as he shined through the tall trees. He drops his bag and stared at the moon, he felt his heart beating faster in his chest, his palm started to become sweaty, his body felt weak.

"Who are you?" Danny quickly turned around and stared at the quiet forest, he back away slightly when he felt the ground give in. He gasps softly and felt his body fall back, he stared in horror as his eyes stared at the moon which becomes smaller and smaller.

"Is this the end?!" Danny felt tears forming and saw them flew upwards, his wet hair flew upwards, he closed his eyes tightly and simply waited for death to come.

'Darkness... Darkness is surrounding me….. it's surrounding my soul, my body, and my existence…. Where am I?'

Danny slowly opened his eyes and stared into the darkness once more, he slowly sat up and touched his shoulder slightly. He noticed his clothes was wet and ripped slightly, he slowly touched his shoulder and felt a shape pain.

"I'm wounded? Why isn't there any blood?" Danny got up and dusted off some dirt from his pants, he nervously walked down this dark hallway. He felt the cold struck his body, the fear in his heart growing even more. Danny entered a huge room with his eyes widening slightly, he stops and stared at this strange room. He saw a dark throne which was facing him, the bones of a human, the dark thrones created this mysterious throne. The room was lit with dark green flames, a strange dark table was placed in the middle of the room.

"What is this place?" Danny slowly enters the strange room further, he saw a strange fountain flowing from the far-right side. The stone walls were dark and strange, the room led to other doors which were closed by strange doors.

"Hello?" Danny quickly turned around and back away, he stumble over his feet and hit the ground. He looked up and saw a woman standing in front of him, her beautiful robin blue hair was flamming like fire, it was tied in a simple ponytail, she wore a dark dress with a transpirate hood over her head. Her black makeup was shaped in a long wave which ended half way on her cheek, she wore a chain as a belt with a small scythe attached.

"Who are you?" Danny asked slowly standing and stared at her

"It doesn't matter who I am," the strange woman said moving away from him slightly; she gracefully walked around him, she had never seen a human like this before. She moved some of her hair behind her ear with her black nails gently touching her black lipstick, she touched his coat slightly. Her silver rings to rub against with each with small gems shining slightly with her other hand wearing a violet glove.

"Where am I?" Danny asked watching this strange woman

"The underworld" she whispered into his ear

"The…. Am I dead?" Danny asked slowly backing away from her.

"No, your not dead," she said touching his cheek with her gloved hand, "You went through a secret passageway"

"A passageway?" he asked softly blushing slightly at her touch

"A passageway to the underworld" she whispered moving her gloved her to his lips, "How do you feel? Being alive where the dead should be?"

"Strange" Danny whispered staring into her eyes which were dark as night, "I feel strange... Like my soul is trying to leave my body"

"That's normal," she said softly and moved away, she smiled and spun around slightly, "This is where souls are meant to be….. but your not dead, so your soul can't leave your body"

"I don't wish to stay here" he replied following her with his eyes, as she walked around the room moving around gracefully.

"There is a way to return to the world of the leaving…" she said touching her lip with her bare hand, "If you wish to know the price?"

"What price is it?" Danny asked feeling his heart beating

"Shush….. it's too early," the woman said placing her index finger on her lips, "Why don't you relax?"

"How are you so knowledge in this?" Danny asked walking towards her, he stops and stood in front of her. He looked down slightly as she stood only a head shorter than himself, her black eyes stared into his blue, her gaze was hypnotising, trying to see through his soul itself.

"Who am I? Who are we?" she said moving away from him, "Why do we exist?"

"I just want to know who you are," Danny said smiling at her as he fixed his tie, "I want to know your name?"

"Why would you want to know such a foolish thing?" she asked moving her lips slightly, "We aren't judged by our names but our actions"

"Well... Because it's your name" he said and rubbed the back of his neck slightly, "It identifies who you are"

"And what is your name?" she asked moving her glove hand along with his back, "Mister human?"

"Danny Fenton" he replied feeling a tingle going along his spin.

"Hm….." she moved her hand away and back away, she took another look at this human man, she had never met someone like this before. He was face to face with a creature from the underworld and it didn't faze him, he was calm and collected, he wanted to know her for who she was, not where she came from.

"Maybe….. I should give him a chance…." She touched his face with her glove hand and moved it down to his neck, she tilted her head softly before moving away from him.

"You'll know in time," she said placing her finger on her lips, "But before you do... Let me show you something"
