The Crow: Ghost of an Angel
People once believed that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right.
It was a cold afternoon, even for October 30th in the Midwest, the Sun was hidden behind the brewing storm clouds; the weather went perfectly with the feelings of the 16 year old girl that was currently making her way through the graveyard overlooking Amity Park. She stopped at two graves; one read Daniel Fenton the other, Samantha Manson. Danielle "Dani Phantom" Fenton reached down and placed a bouquet of black roses on Sam's Grave and a single white one on Danny's. Standing up she spoke, "Danny, Sam, I don't know if you can hear me, but I don't know if I can do this, things have really gone to hell with you guys gone. Vlad came back and he's got control of a gang of the worst the Ghost Zone has to offer and he also controls the mob in the whole state, I just don't think I can stop him without you Danny, even with Valerie and everyone's help Vlad still rules the streets." She paused, "I just miss you guys so much!" With that she dissolved into tears, after awhile her sobs subsided and she began to leave, as she did a large black crow landed on Danny's tombstone and cawed her, "What are you, the night watchman?" she asked the bird, trying and failing to make herself fell better with a little humor, the crow just cawed as the rain began to poor down, Dani left the Graveyard as her mind went back to the night exactly a year ago.
She was walking towards the condo that Danny and Sam had bought and had been spending the whole day in getting ready to move into to get Danny for patrol, Danny and Sam were going to be married tomorrow and later tonight they were having Danny's bachelor party and Sam's bachelorette party, the parties would be right after their patrol, it to put Dani into good mood, She was going to be a bridesmaid, and she was getting a new sister, life shore had turned up for her since the asteroid mess had settled and she had come into the Fenton house off the streets.
She caught sight of the Police Patrol Cars as she turned the corner, the sight began to fill her with dread as she stared to run forward, the dread turned to fear as she saw the Mayor's Limousine, Tucker's Limo. There was a crowd milling around that she had to work her way through it, as she reached the inside she caught sight of Tucker leaning over a stretcher as it was moved towards a waiting ambulance, she caught sight of the shoulder length black hair and bolted forward, "Sam!" she cried out as she bolted forward, Samantha Manson lay on the stretcher her face covered in blood, hair wild, and breathing through an oxygen mask, as Dani got close she pulled the mask off and struggled to speak to Tucker, "Tucker, where is Danny?"
Tuker Foley, the young mayor of Amity Park looked at his friend unable to tell her the truth, "Don't you worry about him."
"Tell him I love him." There was finality in her voice.
"I will," Tucker lied. With that the paramedics replaced her mask and placed her in the ambulance. Dani felt like her heart being ripped from her body, Danny was more than just her clone template, he was her big brother, and Sam was already a big sister to her, all that was remaining was to make it legal. Tucker looked down at Dani, "Don't worry Dani, Sam's going to be okay."
"You lied to her about Danny." She said accusingly, looking over at the body lying under a cloth on the street, knowing who was under it.
"I had to."
"And you lying to me about Sam, she's going to die isn't she?" Tucker couldn't even look her in the eye.
Dani pushed the dark memories away as she trudged through the rain as the skies darkened, she had to be ready, night was coming and with it the ghosts and thugs Vlad sent out.
Back in the graveyard the crow sat as if waiting, it waited as the skies got darker and the ran became a down poor, finally a bolt of lightning hit nearby, it was as if that was the signal the crow had been waiting for. The crow cawed loudly as it began to peak at the stone, suddenly, unbelievably, the stone cracked under its assault, suddenly blood began to seep from the crack, moving down and pooling in the crevices of the name before flowing to the ground as the blood hit the ground a muffled scream ran through the graveyard followed by the sounds of scratching, digging, and breaking from below the earth. Suddenly a hand reached out of the ground, then a arm, another hand, a head and shoulders, peace by peace Daniel Fenton climbed out of his grave and cried out to the heavens, a cry that would have woken the dead, would have that is if the dead had not already woken up.
AN: So years ago when I first found this site there was a Story, The Crow: Dark Phantom, it was taken down along with all of its writers other stories, it was a fairly good story though I felt some of the scenes seemed a little forced, that the writer was trying to force in too many quotes from the Movies into it. So I've been meaning to try my hand at a Danny/Crow story for some time now and here it is, Please tell me how it is and if the quotes become too many and to Out of Character, I only want to use the bare minimum to set the mood.
