Chapter 8


Danny Fenton felt himself weaken every time he flew away to dodge Desdemona's attacks. Finally she got lucky and hit him in the chest. He flew backwards into a bunch of boxes. They now where in Rosa's basement. Boxes littered the area, along with childhood things such as toys and a baby carriage. Danny sat up in a daze as Desdemona floated over to him. She had a very evil glimmer in her eye. He quickly got up and faced her.

"Ready to fight to the death?" she whispered in a cruel voice.
He narrowed his eyes. "Its you who is going down."
"Danny!"
His eyes widened. It was Rosa.
"Danny listen to me...my weak spot is my eye. Aim for my bad eye!"
"Rosa I cant... you'd be hurt."
"You have no choice!"
Danny took a deep breath and then flew forward at Desdemona. He winced and his fist made contact with her bad eye and hair that was covering it.
Desdemona screeched and fell to the ground. Danny turned his head away.
"Danny?" a voice asked weakly. He turned to see Rosa standing. It wasn't Desdemona, he could see it in her eye. It was Rosa. He smiled.
"How you feeling?" Danny asked.
"Tired. She drained me a lot. She, feeds off my negative emotions." Rosa looked down. "I don't know how I can stop her Danny. I might have to..."
"Don't even think it Rosa." Danny hugged her.
She pulled away. "But I cant, I cant let her control me again." Rosa looked him over. He had scratches, his hair was messed up badly and on his face were two deep cuts. "Look what she did to you Danny. What she is capable of. I cant bare to see everyone I love get hurt. I'm sorry Danny. I know this is the only way to destroy her for good. If she does not have a body to inhabit!" With that, Rosa turned intangible and floated through the ceiling.
"Rosa no!" Danny cried out, then followed her.

"What do you think you are doing?!" Deva cried.
"What I should have done ten years ago!" Rosa announced.
She flew towards the cliffs. She knew she would never survive the fall.
"If you dare do this, I will trap your spirit forever!" Desdemona threatened.
"As long as my friends and family will be safe. I will spend the rest of my afterlife, trying to get rid of you!" Rosa thought about how much her family and friends loved her.

Flashback:
"If you ever need to talk, you have my number..." Sweet, sincere Danny.

Danny and Tucker had no idea what to do, Rosa was totally loosing it then Sam slapped her. "Thanks I needed that." Rosa said. Sam, always to the point. But caring.
Tucker looked down on her. She had just woken up after Desdemona took her over. "Hey, you okay?" Ah, Tucker. Who can say enough about him?
Ruby, her older sister with red hair and green eyes looked at Rosa nearby. She saw how hurting she was and walked over to her. "Y'know, she must not have been your true friend, to spread rumors like that. Even though you have something different about you, that doesn't mean you're a freak." Though she can be a pain, she always has got my back and helps me feel better.
After the accident, Rosa's mom hugged her close and told her that she loved her. Dad kissed her head and asked her not to scare him like that again. They were so happy when I was alive. I wish I could say goodbye.
"If you stop this madness you wont have to!" Deva pleaded.
"No, I have to. You can never again rule my body. I'm sick of you trying to seduce me into everything!"
She landed on the highest cliff. She walked towards the edge.
"No you cant!" Desdemona struggled to take over her body. But Rosa fought back.
"No you are no longer going to control me!" Rosa screamed.
"I will forever control you! You have no place trying to stop your destiny!"
"This is not my destiny! You will never rule me or no one else again!"

She fell to her knees in pain. Both sides were trying hard to take over the body. She clenched her head.
"Yes! Evil shall rule!" her red eyes glowed brightly.
"No! I will never let you!" Rosa glowed a blinding pink. "I'm tired of being pushed around by you and everyone else! I wont let the ones I love down!"

"Rosa!"
It was Danny.

.......................................................................................

"No, this cannot be happening." Tucker whispered.
"It is.." Cass said.
"Do something!" Tucker turned to her. "You're a witch, do a spell! She wont be allowed to die! Rosa can't die!"
Sam was silent.
"I am afraid there is no choice. The demon wouldn't leave her body, unless she knew Rosa was going to do herself in. After the demon leaves the body, then I could trap it forever. But, Desdemona wont leave unless Rosa was dead. Dead and good. I am sorry."
"I wont accept that!" Tucker ran out of Sam's house.
Sam turned to Cass. "There is no other way?"
"Danny surely cannot defeat that demon. He is not strong enough. And you know what I say is true."
Sam looked down. "I know." Then she looked up. "But after being friends with Danny for so long, I know something else."
"What's that?"
"That there is always a way." Sam followed Tucker. Cass watched her go, smiling softly. She turned her attention back to the ball at the scene before her.
"I hope you are right Sam."
..............................................................................................

Rosa turned to Danny.
"Danny, go away..." she struggled the words out of her mouth.
"No! I wont let you do this. I can stop Desdemona, please. Don't throw your life away." Danny inched closer.
"No, this is the only way to get her out of me, and to never harm anyone again." Rosa turned her head ahead of her. She looked down. She gulped. She walked towards the edge.
"Rosa don't!" Cried another voice. She turned to see Tucker, and slightly behind him, Sam. She turned to them. She now had complete control of her body. Her eyes had tears flowing from them. Black on one side, clear on the other.
"Thank you for being my friends. I love you all. Tell my family to never forget me." One more step. She lost sight of her friends as she fell. Fell to her freedom.
