BK93: CHAPTER 6!! Hopefully this one won't suck as much as I believed the last chapter did…

Blackheart: That's going to be a challenge, because that one went over like a dead fish, I'm sure.

BK93: Ehh, put a sock in it. Who cares what you think? Anyway, this chapter will use a concept of the comic version of Ghost Rider, Blackheart's relations to the Hellfire club. Just thought I'd let you know. This chapter is going to get a little dramatic, I have to warn you. DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA! You know, I was thinking of joining the Drama Club at my high school. You guys think I should? (rambling)

Blackheart: (sighs) Here we go again…

-------------------------------------------

BK93: Normally, I would renew the disclaimer myself, but I don't feel like it today, so Roxanne agreed to do it for me!!

Roxanne: Okay. BK93 aka Lindsay does not own the rights to Ghost Rider, the comic or the movie, but someone else does. She says, however, she owns the plot, Angel, Matthias, Adriana and Melissa, and Johnston, so don't sue her. We're good to go now.

BK93: NOT QUITE YET! The violence and coarse language content goes up slightly in this chapter, not for little people! NOW we're good to go.

Chapter 6: A Dash of DRAMA


Blackheart was gone before Angel woke. She yawned, stretched, and looked around for him curiously. "Blackheart? Where are you?"

No answer. He was gone…Angel found a note pinned to Blackheart's pillow.

Gone to a meeting. Be back sooner or later.

I love you.

Blackheart

Angel smiled. "That's right, he had another meeting." Angel told herself, sliding out of bed. "Time to find something to do."

-------------------------------------------BREAK

Blackheart arrived to serve as Black King in the meeting for the Hellfire club, his mind wandering as Selene rambled on about the X-men. He really could have cared less, but as Black King to Selene's Black Queen, he had to be there, or the woman would show up at the castle and be a total bitch, he had easily found out one day when he skipped a meeting. Now, she was just giving him a total headache and more of a reason to dislike the meetings. He had nothing to do with the X-men personally, the only hero that had ever mattered to him was the Rider…Blackheart's train of thought shifted entirely after that. Angel had never seen her father as the Rider…He wondered how she would take it. Would it scare her to death? Most likely.

"Lord Blackheart." An agitated voice spoke, breaking Blackheart out of his thoughts and back into the meeting and a very pissed-looking Selene. She had figured out he was ignoring her.

"Yes, Selene?" Blackheart didn't bother with attaching a title to her name. He gave her a sarcastic interested look. She visibly fumed.

"Care to rejoin the conversation?" She asked, every syllable oozing with venom. Her eyes burned with hate. His held a spark of amusement that only pissed her off more. She none the less began talking again, and Blackheart none the less began ignoring her again.

-------------------------------------------BREAK

Angel wandered around the castle, looking for some way to entertain herself until Blackheart returned, when she stumbled upon the royal library. She walked through the long rows of bookcases, her eyes focused on the different books until she walked straight into something. She looked and saw she had walked into one of the elementals Blackheart had met with last night. The one who had been afraid of her, Gressil…Gressil almost screamed, until Angel covered his mouth with the tip of one of her slender white fingers.

"Shhh. We're in a library, silly!" She giggled softly, looking back at the books on the shelf. Gressil looked confused. Angel was the Rider's child. Surely she must know that the Rider had tried to kill him and the others. Wouldn't she, his offspring, have his abilities and try to finish the job? But she was kinder and gentler than a kitten. "Are you going to read a book, too?" She asked sweetly, handing him one, her head tilted slightly to the side. Gressil, still confused, took the book from Angel. A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare…

-------------------------------------------BREAK

Meanwhile, far away from the King of Hell's palace and the meeting site of the Hellfire club, a man sat on a bed, grumbling to himself.

"That damned prince…thinks he can kill me, does he? Can't keep me down that easily. I swear, that girl will be mine!!"(1)

-------------------------------------------BREAK

Gressil and Angel were settled in overstuffed armchairs, reading quietly in the library, when Abigor decided to show his ugly face.

"What do you think you're doing, you imbecile?!" He knocked the book (which Gressil was actually thoroughly enjoying) out of the earth elemental's hands.

"R-reading a book…" The look on Abigor's face slightly frightened Gressil. Angel scowled, put her book down on a table, stood, and picked up Gressil's book, handing it back to him. The earth elemental began to search for his page again.

"And he looked as though he was quite enjoying it as well, you ass!" She growled. This was a side Abigor hadn't expected to see from Angel. She was as timid and small as a newborn kitten, with the ferociousness of a hungry mountain lion when she wanted it. She gave him almost the same hateful glare Blackheart could. "So back off and leave the poor man be!" Abigor chuckled. The prince was beginning to rub off on her. He smirked.

"You're very interesting, little Rider. Very interesting indeed…" Abigor disappeared and Angel looked back at Gressil.

"You can read your book again now." She said sweetly. Gressil didn't need to hear it a second time. This Shakespeare guy was interesting, just like her. She had been a tigress, then a kitten again. Now, she was settled back in her chair, reading again.

-------------------------------------------BREAK

"You agitate me to no end!!" Selene raved as she followed Blackheart out of a warehouse that served as the base.

"Amazing, we both feel the same way about each other!" Blackheart said sarcastically, not even bothering to look back over his shoulder at her. "Now, there is someone waiting for me, so I can't play anymore, Selene. Time to go home now!"

"GO TO HELL!" Selene shouted angrily.

"Funny." Blackheart said, turning to face her. "That was the idea all along!" Blackheart vanished. Selene screamed and stomped her foot, then got an idea. An awfully nasty(2), evil, horrible idea.

"Time to ruin a relationship." It was apparent that Blackheart meant a girl, for his mind had been elsewhere the entire meeting. Selene followed Blackheart with an evil smile on her face.

-------------------------------------------BREAK

Blackheart appeared in his bedroom, hoping to find Angel there. When he didn't see her, he began to leave, until someone caught his shoulder. He turned quickly, hoping to see Angel, but it was Selene. He gave her a disgusted face and she gave him a seductive smirk.

"I'm sure whoever it is won't mind waiting." She said, taking hold of the front of Blackheart's duster with one hand, tracing patterns on his chest with one fingertip. Blackheart slapped her hands away.

"Get off, whore." He said angrily, trying to get away.

"Ah ah ah." Selene said tauntingly, grabbing hold of his duster again, meanwhile using her telepathic abilities to bring Angel into the room.

-------------------------------------------BREAK

Something in Angel's mind compelled her to return to Blackheart's room. She closed her book and put it down. "I'll be right back, 'kay, Gressil?" She said sweetly, getting up and heading out of the library.

-------------------------------------------BREAK

Selene held Blackheart still. "Here comes your girlfriend." She said, and as Angel opened the door, Selene pulled Blackheart into a kiss.

Angel gaped at what she saw. Blackheart was kissing a woman scantily clad in black leather and a cape. She shook her head and tears started to form. "How could you?!" She cried, holding her hands to her chest as if she had just been wounded. The woman's eyes flew open and she released Blackheart, looking shocked.

"Lord Blackheart! You didn't tell me you already had a girlfriend!" She said. Angel shook her head again, a tear rolling down her cheek.

"HOW COULD YOU?!" She shouted again.

"Angel, it's not what it looked like I swear! Angel!" Blackheart called as Angel bolted from the room, crying.

---------------------HALF BREAK

Blackheart looked ready to kill Selene, who was smirking evilly. He had such an urge to kill her. Instead, he smacked her as hard as possible (which was pretty damn hard) and sent her flying into a wall. Blood leaked from her mouth and she glared at him. He was giving her a death stare. "Fuck you, bitch." He said, running after his distraught girlfriend.

-------------------------------------------BREAK

Angel ran as fast as she could through the halls of the palace. She had to get away. She bumped into several servants as she ran, finally crashing full-force with Gressil.

"Angel, what's wrong?" He asked, trying to hold her and calm her. Angel shook her head, still sobbing, and ran away. "Angel!!" She kept running, where she would go, she didn't know. She ran through the grand ballroom where she had first danced with Blackheart and out the door to the western gardens, where he had fought for her and first kissed her. She ran and finally collapsed amidst some large shrubs, drawing her knees in and sobbing quietly. How could he betray her like that!? He told her he loved her only the night before, and yet he was kissing another woman! He didn't love her at all!! Angel rubbed fiercely at her eyes. "He's not worth it, stop crying." She told herself. But she loved him…she trusted him!! Angel kept crying until she heard a voice.

"Angel?" It was Blackheart, looking down at her. Angel jumped up and ran again, or tried to and fell, ripped her jeans, and skinned her knee. She looked up at Blackheart again, giving him the most hateful expression she could muster.

"You lied to me." She said.

"What are you talking about?" Blackheart asked, taking hold of her upper arm to help her up. Angel pulled it away.

"You told me you loved me. You lied to me." She said angrily.

"No, Angel, I didn't lie, I meant it…"

"Then why were swapping spit with that slut?!" Angel shouted, effectively cutting him off.

"She forced it on me! Do you think I wanted to kiss her?!" Blackheart was steadily becoming angry as well. Angel was being ridiculous.

"You didn't look like you were fighting too much!" Angel shouted, her tears gone, her anger replacing any sadness.

"She had just started when you walked in! Angel Selene set me up!" Blackheart protested. "I love you, and only you." He tried to touch her arm again, but she jerked away.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!!" She cried, her tears falling again. Blackheart ignored her protests and kneeled next to her, pulling her close to him and hugging her.

"I hate you! I hate you, you monster!" She sobbed, subconsciously snuggling deeper into his chest. "I hate you, I hate you I hate you I hate you…" She was gripping his duster and there was a wet spot on his shirt now from her tears.

"Shhh, Angel, shhh, it's alright, it's alright. Calm down, shhh." Blackheart petted her hair and rocked her, shifting his weight to cause him to sit and take Angel into his lap. "Shhh. It's okay. Shhh." He nuzzled her soft, sweet-smelling red-brown hair. "It's okay…shhh…" He rubbed her back.

"I don't hate you…" Angel mumbled, snuggling into Blackheart as close as she could. "I love you…" She whispered.

"And I love you. Selene just loves to be a pain in my ass. She forced me to kiss her. I wouldn't touch that slut with a 60 million-mile pole." He said, smiling down at Angel, who just stayed snuggled against him. "You're always going to be the only one, and as cheesy as it sounds, it's true." Blackheart promised.

"I can't possibly hate you…" Angel mumbled. "But…I thought you betrayed me…"

Blackheart lifted her chin and made her look at him.

"Never." He whispered, kissing her softly. He then looked down at her skinned knee and kissed it softly. "All better." Angel sniffled softly. Remnants of tears still clung to her long eyelashes. This man could bring her to tears then pull her back into loving him in a matter of minutes.

"You okay now, Angel?" He asked her. She nodded. He held her as tightly as he could without crushing her ribcage and whispered "I love you" into her soft hair.

-------------------------------------------BREAK

Elsewhere once again, a force twice as powerful as Blackheart flung Selene against a wall, breaking a few ribs. The villainess groaned as bones snapped and her head connected with the stone wall. "Master…" She groaned out.

"Not a word Selene!" The figure shouted, hitting Selene in the chest with a blast of dark energy. The same black energy began to strangle her. She sputtered, coughed and writhed, trying to escape the force slowly killing her.

"You failed, you stupid bitch…" Selene's eyes rolled back into her head as she gasped for air.


BK93: WHOA, violence and drama! I had been plotting this scene for a while…

Blackheart: Who tried to kill Selene? Who tried to kill Selene? WHO TRIED TO KILL SELENE?! (on the edge of the chair next to BK93)

BK93: Oh, now you're interested? You'll have to wait like everyone else, buddy! Sorry for the cliffhanger, guys! And, if you have any questions about Selene or the Hellfire Club, they are both real and owned by Marvel. Consult for more information about them, just type in "Hellfire Club" and there you go. YES, Blackheart really does hold a position in the organization, although it mainly fights the X-men.

AUTHORESS'S COMMENTS

(1) If you can guess who this is, you will get a virtual piece of chocolate cake. (Except YOU, PW92, because you know who it is!!)

(2) NOT NEGATIVE! Just evil.

UNNUMBERED NOTES!

I really hope I'm not turning Angel into too much of a Mary-Sue. God knows I dislike those, but I have a feeling she is too much like one. This chapter sounded a hell of a lot like an episode of a freakin' soap opera, hope you guys don't mind!

REVIEWS ARE LIKE COOKIES, VERY NICE.
