David sat in the back of the car gazing out the window.Violet lay across the seat resting her head in his lap,sleeping.He turned his gaze from the window and looked down at her.

"Violet,i swear as long as i live i will always protect you, No matter what the cost"

He smiled and placed a gentle kiss on her lips.

"mm' David." she moaned out

David instantly turned a light shade of red and gazed back out the window.They were passing a park,the same park, where Davids mother had been killed.The once beautiful place had been turned into a dark and barren stretch of dirt.The only indication it was ever a public place was the old and rusted sign at its entrance.

" Mother'." He whispered to himself

"Is this where it happened?"

His thoughts were interupted by a soft voice.He looked towards the front of the car and saw helen,with her face turned to him.David's expression saddened.

"Yes Helen.'" he said in a dark saddened voice. "this is where it happened.This is where she died" he gazed towards the floor. "where my heart turned to ice."

Helen wanted to comfort him,to tell him that everything would be ok and he would never have to go through something so horrible ever again.But what can you say to comfort someone like him.She looked from him to Violet who slept peacefuly with her head in her lover's lap.

"Only you Violet." She thought. "You are the light to him,The light that will save him from his own darkness."

"David?"

David looked at violet.Her eyes were open and staring into his.leaned down and placed a tender kiss on her lips.

"good to see that your awake." he said.

"Wow,im sore all over" She stated in a seductive voice."arent you?"

"Not realy." he shrugged ."a little tired maybe but thats all"

"Well good for you because my body is so sore i can barely move" She said jokingly

David looked warmly at her.

"You should get some more sleep Violet. We've still got about 30 minutes until we get home."

She nodded,closing her eyes.

Helen was smiling.She had never seen Violet this happy in a long time.

"David." Helen said,turning to him.

He looked at her.

"I wanted to ask you something."

"Anything Mrs Parr."

"That guy that attacked you,who was he?"

David thought leaned back in the seat and tilted his head up looking through the sunroof.

"An old friend." His voice was a deep mixture between amusement and anger.

Helen still had alot of questions for him,but she decided it would be better to wait until they got home.

"If he's an old friend why did he hurt you?"

David turned his head to Dash who was sitting to his right.He then turned his emotionless gaze back to the sunroof.

"He's come to finish it." He said in his usual dark voice

"Finish what?"

"A war me and him started years ago"

Dash just looked up at him with confusion.

"It seems that my old friend has come for revenge."

Dash was about to ask why when he was interupted by something. A laugh,a dark deep laugh only the most bloodthirsty villains could emit,and it was coming from David.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha...i swear its been too long,too long since i slaughtered hundreds,too long since i've seen the sights of war! men ripped to shreds,women and children burned! and the sounds.The sounds of hundreds pleading for they're lives,and a chorus of screams eminating from the deepest pits of Hell."

Dash was horrified at this side of David.He was like the Devil himself when he talked.Helen and Bob were both Horrified and confused at David's new darker self.Bob was about to say something when David cut him off unintentionaly,his voice full of dark amusement

"I cant wait! I simply cant wait for the bloodbath to begin!" He then turned his head towards the front windshield.

"It will be a battle to end all battles. the ultimate fight between light and dark."

Everyone in the car was silent,having just seen the true monster David realy is.Even Violet heard,she kept her eyes shut and pretended to be asleep.She didnt know why but even after seing this monstrous side of him,she still loved him and just maybe,her love could save him from the darkness.

David looked down at Violet and caressed the side of her face,brushing the strands of raven black hair from her eyes.He leaned down and put his mouth near her ear,thinking she was asleep.

"Violet,I love you more than anything and i will always protect you." he whispered.Then gently placed a tender kiss on her cheek.

"Always"
