Prologue:

"No…" she said with more finality.

"Come on, Danny. Your parents aren't even home," coaxed the young man once more, nudging the tan girl softly in the ribs. He reached around her waist from behind, trying to butter his girl-friend up. He placed his lips near her ear and spoke softer, "You didn't tell them I was coming, did you?" He

The girl, Danny, felt chills run down her tan arms, and she shivered. She could feel him laugh, feel his breath against her neck. She gulped; she had been told to say 'no'. And that's what she was good at doing. She was a flirt, but she wasn't stupid. He pulled her closely, and she spun around and snapped, "I said no, Jake!"

"Danny!" Danny pulled away from him and backed up against the counter of her mother's kitchen and jumped up onto it, sitting down on top of it. She shut her dark-brown eyes and looked away a moment, taking a deep breath. She knew that he was disappointed in her, but she'd be even more disappointed if she said 'yes'. She shook her head. "Aw, Danny," he started, looking away as well, "then why did you invite me over?"

"Because!" Danny said, swinging her head back around. A tear rolled down her cheek innocently. She had wanted to spend time with him. He knew she was going away soon, though he didn't know why. He knew she was leaving to go to a school, a boarding school, a school far away that he couldn't visit. "I wanted to spend time with you before I go…"

He came closer to her, wrapping his arms around her waist lightly, looking into her eyes now. She read right through his hazel eyes that were trying to conceal his meaning for coming. He knew she was leaving, he knew she wasn't going to be back for a long time, and he had wanted to take advantage of that. "I know that, Danny," he said softly. Danny looked away. He inched his head closer and kissed her cheek, she looked back at him, slightly surprised. He took that chance and suddenly kissed her full on the lips, and at first she leaned into it, wrapping her arms around his waist. But then he began fiddling with her peasant, tie blouse and she pushed him.

"I said no!"

He didn't look surprised, but came slower, not moving his eyes from hers. He began untying the blouse, and for a moment Danny couldn't find the strength to stop him. It wasn't until he was pulling the sleeves down, and he was running a hand through her black locks of hair, that she realized what was happening. Her eyes began to glow, but not a happy glow. A dark glow and the darkness enveloped her eyes, shining out of her eyes blindly like black flames. The shadows in the kitchen began to flicker, and then the lights went out. Jake fell backwards in surprise, and Danny jumped off the counter, completely lost to her power.

"I asked nicely," she said, her voice slightly echoing with the power of darkness, "I asked you to stop." Jake looked clearly frightened, he didn't know his girl-friend was a mutant!

"D-Danny," he said hesitantly. Danny was lost though, the Danny he knew was gone. In her place, was the daughter of shadow, and she was not happy.

Danny raised her hands in front of her, palms out facing Jake who was making his way toward the door of the kitchen. "Now you're getting what you deserve, Jake!" she said quietly, and a black light began to blink in and out in her palm. Suddenly, it grew to a darker pitch and became stronger, and when the power was strong enough, she released the pent-up energy. Two beams of light shot toward Jake, and he dodged just barely, his eyes wide in fear. Danny smirked, and she followed him, her feet not touching the ground, but stepping into a shadow of a stage.

Jake ran into the hall. It was dark in the whole house, and it was dark outside. Everything around the house and outside was now her bidding…was now her element. She looked around, her eyes still flaming with black fire. "Come out; come out, wherever you are." Suddenly her eyes spotted his huddled form, and she walked up to him. He was crouched behind the couch in the living room. She smirked. "Hello, Jake." And then a shadow formed beneath Jake and he began to sink into it. He tried to get out of it, but he kept sinking. When his head was about to go under, Danny bent down and examined his petrified face. "Welcome to my world," and then he was engulfed completely, his screams for help muffled by darkness.

Danny felt light-hearted, and she dropped to her knees. Her brown-eyes, back to normal, flickered open and at the same time, the lights came on. She looked around; Jake was gone. The house was in a chaotic mess. Her parents were do home…

"Danny, we're home!"

Danny swung her head around to see her mother walk in, hanging her black coat onto the coat rack. "The opera was wonderful; you really…missed…something…" Her mother looked around the house, her jaw dropped.

"Yes, you really did. How are you," her father walked in, all decked out in his black suit and tie, "feeling." he finished. He looked once at the house, and then back at Danny fearfully. "Danny, princess, what happened?"

Danny's eyes watered, but she felt too exhausted. She took a step toward her parents, but found that she couldn't even take a step. She grabbed hold of the couch desperately, searching for the strength. "I'm…sorry," she gasped before fainting onto the ground.
