Fallen Angel

Damien was sitting at his desk, organizing his comic books. He was having the time of his life. But something didn't feel right. He looked around, expecting his dad, or even Kenny, to be staring at him. He didn't see anyone. But he still felt uneasy. He got up from his chair, and walked off to the next chamber. It was a room with a pool in it. The liquid was silvery, and swirling. He plunged his right hand in it, and swirled it, as Kenny floated in his mind. He saw the silver liquid flooding up to form a window. He gazed through the window, and looked at the scene in front of him. Stuart was standing right in front of Kenny, and it looked like he was shouting. Kenny moved his lips a little, and Stu stopped him. He sighed. Kenny was shoved over to the far wall, and Damien watched as his mom came over. She started talking to Kenny, and Kenny listened. Kenny got up, and Damien watched as his father pushed him away. He swore Kenny had tears streaming in his eyes. Damien felt his body form into Dana, and he was in Kenny's room in an instant. His dad would kick his ass for playing with the gazing liquid, but oh well.

"Kenny?" Dana asked softly, as she looked at the boy.

"Oh, hey." Kenny said trying to hide his tears. "Do you ever knock?" Kenny asked.

"No. But neither do you." Dana said bitterly. "Dying all the time and ending up at my place, in my room." She muttered. "You all right?" she asked.

"I already said I was." Kenny said smiling at her.

"I don't think so. Tell me what happened." Dana said as she closed Kenny's door. "I shielded your room. No one will come bother us unless it's your mom, Kevin or Karen." Dana said softly. "Tell me what happened."

"I told you, dude." Kenny said as he started pulling his backpack to him. "I'm fine." He explained.

"Kenny, I was watching you." Dana said bluntly.

"Well, then, why the hell are you asking if I'm all right?" Kenny asked bitterly.

"I don't know the full story." Dana said softly.

"My dad is drunk, and some bastard on the street told him that we were all a bunch of mistakes. He thinks Kevin and Karen are okay. I'm the mistake." Kenny said as he stared at Dana. "He said when they had Kevin, they tried to get a daughter, but the next thing that came was me. Hey, I don't think it's bad. If they had gone to a cult, and Karen had been born the middle child, she would be the one with the curse." Kenny said bitterly. "Dana, I know that my dad is drunk. I know he loves his children when he's truly sober. But it hurts all the same." Kenny said as he glared at the floor. His face was flushed. "I just want to be alone." He muttered.

"You didn't let me be alone when I was all angry the other day." Dana said softly.

"That's because I hurt you, you fuckin'…" he sighed.

"Come here." Dana said as she sat with Kenny on the bed. She wrapped her arms around Kenny. She sighed, as she held him close. Kenny could smell her feminine scent, along with cherries. He snuggled close to her, and held her back. His head falling to rest against her chest. She started running her fingers through his hair.

"If I could…, take a trip…, to outer space…, he would be the one I would see. He would welcome me with his arms…, open wide…, and a smile…, will shine at me brighter than the sun. He hasn't had a fair chance, so I'll give him one. Let me tell you who he is…" Kenny felt all his tears falling onto Dana's blouse as he heard her sing to him. "He's a fallen angel. Sent from heaven up above. He's a fallen angel. Waiting for me to love him. He's a fallen angel. Take your judgment off him. And know that he's a fallen angel. And I should, help him mend, his broken wings. So he can fly again. But I don't, wanna lose everything that I've gained. It's turnin' me a selfish Demon! Cuz without him my heart just don't go…, no more…, no more. I gotta take the pain, of watchin' him fly away. So say that you'll stay, and be my…, be my fallen angel." Kenny listened to the words as she started rocking him back and forth. She glided over the chorus neatly. Soon she was at the next part of the song. "Kenny, don't you worry, I'm gon' help you fly. Just take me under your wing, and we can touch the sky. Kenny, don't you worry, I'm gon' help you fly. Just take me under your wing, and we can reach the sky! He's a…, he's a fallen angel! Sent from heaven up above just for me!" Ken was crying still, as Dana rocked him gently and sang. This song was perfect, because it was blending in with her pixie voice. Kenny felt Dana's eyes watching him, and her hands ran through his golden hair again as she sang the last part of the song. "Kenny," she said softly. "I love you. And everything your dad said, I take it back for him. Just like this." Dana had powers that Ken didn't even understand. And as he listened, he heard Stuart McCormick's voice sliding through his ears. But it was talking backwards. And suddenly, Dana was talking softly to him as she sang. "You don't mean nothin'…, I don't wancha…, I don't need yuh…, I never loved yuh… You're a no body…, you'll never make it…, you're a mistake. No."

This was the most emotion Kenny has ever seen Damien display. He didn't want to ruin it, so he just lay there in the Demon's arms. Dana leaned her forehead against Kenny's, and looked into his eyes. "Feel better?" she asked.

"Again." Kenny pleaded.
