Chapter 2: Secret Power!
Denise say in her room, unable to sleep, so she just sat there staring up at the ceiling, there was a soft knock. "Come in," she said in a bored tone. The door opened and her little sister came in, rubbing her eyes. "Shay what are you doing up this late," Denise asked, the girl had brown hair like their mother, and blue eyes like their father. Shay's real name is Shayla.
"Sis, I couldn't sleep," Shayla said, "And mommy isn't home yet,"
"How about you sleep with me then," Denise said, and watched her sister's face brighten. Once Shayla was in the bed, Denise covered her up, "Hey Shay you know the next door neighbors?"
"Yeah, they're some weird people," Shayla said with a stifled laugh.
"Well I made friends with the boy that lives there," Denise said with a small sigh.
"Are you in love with him sis?" Shayla asked with a smirk.
"Where did you get that idea," Denise asked, her cheeks tinted red.
"Well you sighed when you were talking about," Shayla said, then all of a sudden she jumped off the bed and zoomed over to the window. "Sis look a shooting star," Denise walked over.
She closed her eyes. 'I wish I could control my powers,'
'I wish sis can find love in the next door boy,' Shayla wished and, when she opened her eyes, Denise picked her up and jumped into the bed with her. She laughed.
"Time to sleep," Denise said.
"Could you sing to me," Shayla asked snuggling into the covers.
"Sure what song would you like," Denise asked, as Shayla put on a thinking face.
"Every Heart," Shayla said, and Denise nodded.
Tell me babeHow many do I shed my tears?
Every Heart
Every Heart is not a gentle yet
Shall I do?
I can never say my loneliness
Every Heart doesn't know so what to say oh what to do
(I) was afraid of darkness cause I felt that I was left alone
So I prayed for help to (the) distant million stars
Round & Round the planets revolve round the sun
And we always seek after love and peace forever more
Growing growing woe
Baby we can work it out
Look up at the sky
Every Heart is shining all today
Show me now
What kind of smile do I come across
Every Heart
Every Heart can take a step towards the dreams
All of us want to take a lasting happiness
Whenever you feel sad, I wanna hold you & give you a some sleep
Someday every hearts gonna free and easy
We have peace of mind
Someday all the people find the way to love
Goes and goes the time goes on we are not alone
We live on together and we will find some precious things
Sometime we will smile sometime we will cry somehow
Don't forget believing yourself - Tomorrow's never die
There is the warm heart places on my mind
In my earlist day's there and it's so sweet
There are many stars they have talk with me so kind
They say yes always time's a friend of mine so shine
Round & Round the planets revolve round the sun
And we always seek after love and peace forever more
Growing growing woe
baby we can work it out
Look up at the sky
Every Heart is shining all today
Goes & goes the time goes on we are not alone
We live on together and we will find some precious things
Sometime we will smile sometime we will cry somehow
Don't forget believing yourself - Tomorrow's never die
Denise looked down at Shayla who was fast asleep, she kissed her on the forehead and then went ghost and went up to the roof. She sat there thinking to herself.
"So you come up here often," came a voice.
"Yeah, well since I moved here two days ago," Denise said, and Danny floated down next to her, sitting on the edge of the roof with her.
"So who was the girl I saw you at the window with," Danny asked looking up at the stars.
"That was Shayla, my little sister," Denise said, sighing.
"Where's your mom?" Danny asked.
"Working, sometimes she doesn't get home till three," Denise said laying backwards.
"Oh," Danny said, lying next to her.
"You know you're lucky your parents love you," she said with a sigh.
"Yeah, well at least your mom doesn't embarrass you by chasing after ghosts," Danny said.
"Good thing she doesn't know about me," she said, then all of a sudden a searing pain shot through her back. "It hurts, it hurts," she said, trying to keep from screaming.
"What hurts," Danny asked concerned.
"My...My back," she said, clawing at her shirt, as if she was trying to pull it off. "Rip...my...shirt," she gasped out. He did as he was told, he ripped the back of her shirt, and saw something there.
"Oh, wow," he said shocked.
"What...is it," she asked.
"You have wings," he replied, then she stretched them out. "How long have you had those pains," he asked.
"Since last night," she replied, as her wings wrapped around her body. "They're beautiful," she gasped, "I wonder how Shay will like them," she said thinking out loud.
"So what does this mean?" he asked.
"I have no clue, but maybe we should call Sam and ask her," Denise suggested. "But keep quiet, Shayla just went to sleep." he nodded and they phased into the house, and went to Denise's computer and oddly enough Sam was online.
"Hey guys what's up," Sam said, they were on a video chat.
"Not so loud, Shay's sleeping in here," Denise said in a warning tone. "We want to know why I have wings all of a sudden,"
"They were actually always there, even before you became a ghost," Sam replied. "You see, you're half angel,"
"So...so I'm a--a ghost angel?" Denise asked confused. "How would you know that?"
"Well I came across it in a book, but do you think one of you two can come get me and we can talk over there," Sam said, and Denise nodded.
"Danny you go, I have to watch my sister," Denise said and Danny left. She sighed as she waited for the two to come. 'Damn it why did life have to be so complicated?' she thought as she sat on the edge of her bed, looking at the sleeping form of Shayla.
"Hello Denise, it seems we meet again," came a sinister voice.
"Vlad, what are you doing here," she asked anger bubbling inside her.
"Just dropped by, I know your mother wouldn't mind," he said smoothly.
"Just because you're my father doesn't give you the right to come near me or Shay ever again," Denise growled out.
"Ah it seems young Daniel and Samantha are here," Vlad said smirking. "I'll come back when you're alone," and he phased out of her room.
"Hey Denise we're here," Sam said, as she landed on the floor.
"About time," she said, with an aggressive look in her eyes.
"What happened," Danny asked.
"I'll tell you later," Denise said, heaving a sigh. "Let's get on with it,"
"All right, it seems that when you were transformed an angel ray was shot down from the heavens, and you became an angel half ghost," Sam explained taking a seat on Denise's computer chair. Denise seemed to be sort of out of it, so Danny tapped her shoulder.
"You okay," he asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine," she said with a reassuring smile.
"Did you hear what I said," Sam asked, slightly annoyed.
"Yeah, an angel ray hit me," Denise said. "How dare he come near this house," she said outloud not realizing it.
"Who?" Sam and Danny asked.
"What?" Denise asked confused.
"You said, 'How dare he come near this house'" Sam pointed out.
"Oh, sorry I was thinking out loud," Denise said with a guilty smile."Well just before you came back, Vlad dropped by,"
"He did?" Sam said shocked.
"What did he say?" Danny asked slightly angered.
"Nothing important," Denise said. "But he did say he'd be back,"
"Well then we should get you practicing," Sam replied, and stood up, "Danny take me home, Denise, we start your training tomorrow,"
"Ok, see ya," Denise said, and just as Danny left Denise heard her mother come through the front door, she had to tell her mom about Vlad's visit.
"Denise, sweetie are you awake," her mother asked softly as she poked her head through the door.
"Yeah mom," Denise replied. "Shay's in here too,"
"Is she?" her mom asked. "Did she have another bad dream,"
"Yeah but she didn't tell me about it," Denise sighed.
"Honey, what's wrong, something up?" her mom asked sitting on the bed.
"Mom he came again," Denise said, as her mom pushed her bangs away from her forehead.
"Don't worry, I have a month of vacation, so I'll be home more often," she added, and lifted Shayla up.
"Mom, when you put her to bed can you come back and talk to me," Denise asked.
"Of course," her mom said and disappeared out of the room. Denise walked over to her window and saw Danny fly into his room, his window open.
"Good night Danny," she whispered.
"Night Denise," he whispered back.
"Ok honey, what is it," her mom said sitting on the bed.
"Mom, you remember how Vlad had a secret lab thingy," Denise asked timid.
"Yes, he never let anyone in there," her mom said with a serious tone, "Did you go in there,"
"Yes, with Vanessa and Carmen, and I fell into a ghost portal, and now I have ghost powers, but that's not the worst part," Denise said even more timidly.
"What is it," her mom urged her on.
