Angel Of Darkness Ch. 1: Angels of light and dark
A/N: I do not own Hell girl and never will. I only own my OCs and a shout out to my friend for use of his. Any reviews will be nice on my first Hell girl fanfic. Warning: Will reference rape, underage violence, multiple suicide attempts and massacres. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Nicole was walking to school under an overcast sky on a cold, damp day. She was a frail looking 17 year old girl with blond hair and blood red eyes. She stood at 5'2", and was of a wire thin frame. As she walked, she thought of only one thing: revenge. Nicole had been getting harassed about physical injuries attained during a robbery which went wrong, claiming the life of her father, and putting her already sickly mother into a coma. Adding to it all she was called a prude for not sleeping with the star of the soccer team. She didn't know how exactly, but she would have it one way or another. Feeling a sense of calm drape over her she looked and saw a stunning sapphire blue butterfly land on her shoulder. Despite how odd it was that it had been following her she said nothing. As she into the foreboding black stone structure that was her school, she saw the butterfly vanish as her little brother Jordan ran over.
"Hey sis you look a little different than usual. Oh hey I checked your safe and-" he was cut off.
"Brother, do not mention what I have unless you want to put the whole fucking school on lockdown," She said in annoyance as she brushed him off. Jordan was four inches taller than her, and had shaggy blonde hair that covered his ears when it wasn't combed. He was often thought to be her boyfriend, which pissed Nicole off considering he was just really dependent on her. He left her, headed to his class. Rounding the corner of one of the bustling halls she ran into a girl with raven black hair, wearing red and black uniform.
"Watch where the fuck you're going, because god damn it I don't have all day to be picking myself up off the ground" Nicole muttered. She rounded the next corner only to be roughly shoved against the wall by an unknown assailant. The flash back of when she was almost raped and her brother was suspended for going out of his way to try and kill the man flashed through her mind. She fell and started crying as she felt a knife go to her neck and acid getting poured on her clothes, burning straight to her skin. As she screamed in pain, Nicole heard a voice.
"As one of the more wild and free students you should be more open to this. I know that soccer player would have loved to see what you have hidden under that black tank-top, you slut" The voice said, sounding angry. She recognized the voice of her favorite teacher, and her mind flashed to all the notes written on her graded assignments and tried fighting back, but to no avail.
"You bitch, how could you do this to me?" She screamed, pain, betrayal and hatred in her voice. She swung out with her hand, attempting to kill her teacher with a knife that she always had hidden in her sleeve. Sensing that the girl had pulled a blade, the teacher grabbed Nicky's pony tail and yanked on it, causing her to cry out in pain again and drop the knife.
"I saw in your record that you're one of those prison types, always in trouble for defending your friends and that little bastard you call brother. So, let's teach you some better manners, shall we?" The teacher said with contempt. The soccer star walked in and started to unzip his jeans. As Nicole looked through tear-blurred vision to find something to kill either all three of them or at the very least herself, she saw a doll with a partially untied red cord around its neck. She jerked the cord and pulled her own onyx black and silver knife to her neck, but before she could pull it and slit her throat, which would have stained the white tile floor red, she heard a voice that sounded like that of the girl she ran into in the hall.
"Your grievance shall be avenged my love" said the strange voice, and suddenly Nicole knew the name Ai Enma, despite never having heard or read it before. Before she could ponder this, the room faded to black, and when she came to, she was sitting on a stool at the lab table. The teacher was in a flask on a hot plate, and the star had somehow ended up in a ball-shaped cage. Ai's helpers stood in a semi-circle around the table.
"Well, they both seem to be in a bit of a pickle, don't they? The teacher looks cold, you know. Plus this boy looks to be stuck. Well then, why don't we help them?" The helpers all said emotionlessly. One of them walked over and flipped the switch on the hot plate. The plate started heating slowly cooking the teacher alive. The cage shrank, causing the black metal bars to start digging into the soccer star's skin. Looking around, Nicole started to wipe her face. Suddenly, she saw Ai standing there in her black and red kimono.
"Oh pitiful shadow lost in the darkness, demeaning and bringing harm to others, damned soul wallowing in sin...care to give death a try just this once?" She said lightly, suppressing a smile. Both of the males screamed in pain, drawing a smile on Nicole's tear stained and disheveled face before their images faded into darkness, never to be seen again. Nicole looked at Ai, who was standing calmly in her familiar black and red kimono. Ai reached out toward Nicole.
"Follow me and I will make all your pain go away" she said, her emotions finally appearing as she helped Nichole to her feet and smoothed out what was left of her uniform. Slowly, the flowers on Ai's kimono surrounded them, seeming to float from the fabric itself.
Nicole reached out and grabbed Ai's hand, which when she released, left Nicole holding a large sapphire pendant in the shape of a butterfly. A feeling of calm enveloped her, and she walked off to find her friend Megan. She found her sitting alone at their usual lunch able. Jordan wasn't in sight, but would be any second if Nicole knew her brother. Walking up to Megan, she sat down and sighed. Megan looked up.
"What the hell happened to you?" She asked, a shocked look on her face. "You look like you tried to run through a fire!"
Nicole rolled her eyes. "It's not what I had in mind, but Mr. Hishino tried to rape me along with that asshole soccer star."
Megan shook her head. "Are you gonna tell Jordan the truth?"
Before Nicole could answer, Jordan jogged up to the table, sliding three trays onto the table.
"Lunch is served! Today's horror is…" He paused for effect, "Miss Stanley's meatball surprise! Along with a side of my sister's burnt clothing, sis what in the hell happened this time?" He sang the last part in a deep voice.
Nicole looked up and he could see how badly shaken she was. Jordan ran over to his sister's side of the table and hugged her fiercely.
"Who did this to you? I'll kill them, I swear it!" He asked with barely contained rage. "Who hurt you?"
She just ruffled his hair.
"Easy killer I'm just fine I made a new friend who gave me this" She said with a smile, holding out the butterfly pendant. Jordan, never eager to miss the chance to tease his big sister and be a royal pain in the ass, he brightened up and looked at the pendant.
"Well big sister has a crush! Oh or is it a secret admirer?" he said laughing. Nichole laughed.
"I'll tell you on the way home, little boy" She said chuckling. He nodded.
"Let me go grab my stuff from my locker" He said, dashing away. Suddenly, Nicole heard Ai's voice.
"He's a spirited one, I see. No wonder you care for him" Ai said, but when Nicole turned around, it was as if nobody had been there.
