Chapter 2

Aries, who had a demonic smile on his face, led Rosa into the other room. He glanced into her one visible eye that was emotionless and realized that she was his forever. He put his arms around her and whispered softly in her ear.

"Welcome to my world my lovely wife." He looked at her and saw the same emotionless eye and smiled wider.

"Drop her!" A new voice yelled. Aries head snapped to where the voice was. Danny stood in the doorway, his blue eyes enraged.

"Hello Daniel." Danny shivered at the name, only one other person called him that, and he secretly wished it was him hidden within Aries, but he knew better.

Aries hadn't left Rosa's side, but Danny suddenly felt very intimidated. He glanced around, then frowned and two whitish blue rings appeared in the middle of his body. Then they separated as one went up, and the other went down, changing his normal human form into the super hero, Danny Phantom. His black hair turned pure white, and his ice blue eyes turned a ghostly green. He still held the stare Danny Fenton had, but now Danny Phantom was in his place, he felt the ghost half's confidence and bravery take over his human body and he formed plasma in his hands. "Let her go Aries or I will not be afraid to hurt you." He threatened.

Aries smirked and suddenly something happened, that he didn't expect. Two bright red rings appeared in his middle and separated just like Danny's. Instead of what Danny transformed into, Aries was more evil in nature. His black hair turned bright red, his jeans and shirt transformed into a black and red jumpsuit and his brown eyes transformed into a piercing evil green. Danny was taken aback, he gasped and took a step back.

"How did you.." he started.

"How did I transform without goody Aries taking over? Good question. I simply wished it, see, Good Aries is sleeping, he has been for a long time." A sinister smile started to form on his dark face.

Danny's eyes widened. He couldn't believe this was happening. Evil Aries was taking control of him more frequent and Aries himself was almost powerless, but now everyone else was too.

Aries glanced at Rosa and said. "Darling, be a dear and destroy this nuisance will you?"

"What?" Danny said, before he could even think, Rosa transformed into her other half and was walking towards Danny, her hands glowing with pink plasma and her eye was still devoid of emotion or soul.

"Rosa, please! Snap out of it! Snap out of his trance!" Danny pleaded, stepping a step back as she took one foreword.

Before she could take another step, a blast of yellow plasma smacked into her, causing her to tumble to the ground, and faint.

Both boys, who were shocked, looked and saw Brooke and Star at the doorway in their ghost selves. Star lowered the arm she used to blast Rosa with and ran towards Aries at a fast speed. She slammed into him, sending him flying into a wall with a bookshelf. He collapsed to the ground in a dead faint and the contents on the bookshelf landed on top of him.

"Rosa." Danny whispered, running to her and making sure she was all right. "Did you have to do that?" Danny turned to Star, a bit angry.

"Look, she wouldn't want to hurt you, it was the only way to stop her." Star hissed. Brooke had walked to Aries and tried to awaken him.

Danny sighed and looked back at Rosa. She started to awaken and her rose quartz colored eye gazed into his for a brief moment, and there was a connection, then both realized what they were doing and Danny pulled away from her as she sat up.

"What happened?" Rosa asked, putting a hand to her head.

Danny sighed and told her what happened.

After he was done talking she sighed and stood up, he did as well. "Well, thank you." She smiled softly. Danny smiled back, and both stared into each other's eyes.

"Ahem." Star interrupted them. Rosa and Danny turned away, both blushing. Star had a smart alack smirk on her face.

"Don't worry, Aries is only knocked out. I only pray that his good side has had time to take over evil Aries." Star sighed and looked at her fallen friend.

Rosa and Danny transformed back to their human selves and Rosa sat down on a chair nearby, thinking deeply.

Danny closed his eyes and opened them again; he saw Sam and Tucker now standing in the doorway.

"Is everything alright? Your parents are beginning to worry." Sam told Danny.

Danny nodded. "Um, Star.. Brooke, Can you stay here and wait for Aries to awaken?" he asked the girls in yellow and blue. Both girls nodded a yes and stood on either side of Aries, waiting for him to awaken.

"Rosa?" her head looked up as she heard her name, knocking her out of the fog she was in. "Do you want to come back to the party?"

Rosa thought for a second, then nodded and gave him a small smile. She stood up and followed them out.

They walked out into the other room, where the music was blaring and there was multiple conversations going on at once.

His family surrounded Danny suddenly as they each handed him their gifts. He gave them a grin and started to unwrap his presents at record speed.

Rosa looked on from the edge of the crowd. She had a soft smile on her face, but as soon as she knew that Danny wasn't looking at her, or anyone else for that matter, she sighed and turned around. It was as if time stood still as her one eye began to tremble. But she closed it and refused to let the water escape from it. She made a brave face and looked back at Danny. She knew she still loved Danny. But she also knew the dangers that might stem from them having a relationship. So they broke up, she wondered if he even missed her. She had to keep this brave face slapped on, or else she would crumble.

The divorce was final. Her parents were forever torn because of her. Her sister Ruby left with her father two days ago. She remembered the goodbye vividly:

"Rosa." Ruby looked at her smaller, frailer looking sister. Her blonde hair was tangled and rather messy. Her one blue eye had a bag under it, consisting that she didn't have much sleep the past few nights. It was hard for Ruby to sleep either, but Rosa looked like she was a wreak. Her clothes were in disarray on her body, her pink blouse had buttons in the wrong holes, which caused the shirt itself to look lopsided and wrinkled. Her black pants were no better. Ruby knew this might not be the best thing to do, but her sister had friends and a good life in Amity Park. She had to make sure their father would be all right wherever they went. "I know your upset, but I have to do this." Ruby said quietly. "One day you will understand." Ruby put a hand on her shoulder, but she yanked her shoulder away.

"Don't you dare touch me. You are no longer my sister." Rosa said in a quiet voice. "A sister would never leave her other sister broken like this. After all, we know how much of a freak I am."

"Don't you dare say that!" Ruby yelled, her green eyes flashing at Rosa's clouded blue one.

"Why? Its all true." Rosa said in a dark voice.

"Rosa, I love you, for who you are, I don't care about your face. You're my sister by blood and you always will be. But you must understand I can't leave dad alone. I know you will be safe with mom and your friends. But daddy has no one. I have to go. I love him as much as you and mom. I have to protect him. You see?"

Rosa had tears streaming down her face, but she nodded and hugged Ruby tightly. "Ill miss you so much.."
Ruby smiled and hugged her sister back, then said. "Hey, its not like Ill be gone forever dear! Ill be back, I promise."

Rosa pulled away and nodded. She then turned to her father and hugged him also.

"Why do you have to leave?" Rosa asked him softly.

"Rosa dear, never think this is your fault. I know you do. Your mom and me have been fighting before everything happened. It is for the best." He kissed the top of her head and took Ruby's hand and led her to the car. Rosa watched as they entered the car and drove away from the house. She continued to stand there, until her mother finally came out and told her it was time to come inside.

Now Brooke was living with her and her mother. It wasn't as loud as her happy family used to be, but then again, it wasn't quiet either, it was comfortable. Rosa felt like she had a sister again. She and Brooke were becoming close. Things were starting to get back to semi normal. She only wished that she could fix the group so they seemed less scattered. She sighed and walked over to Danny to congratulate him on turning fifteen. Jazz watched her as she walked over. She had been watching Rosa, with mixed feelings of her own. Danny hadn't told her what happened recently, but he came home one day, hiding tears behind his sky blue eyes. She was worried about him. Finally it started to make sense to her. Rosa and him had broken up from being boyfriend and girlfriend that they had been for over a few weeks. But she still didn't understand what had happened the past week when Brooke emerged. She couldn't blame the shy girl. But still, it was very strange. Rosa and Danny were steering clear of each other like each had the plague. Jazz knew she had to do something to bring the group out of this rut they were in. Everyone seemed to be in their own little worlds, each with their own problems to struggle through. But Jazz knew that they couldn't face their inner demons alone anymore.

Star stared at the unconscious Aries with a rather blank expression. She hated the fact that she caused Rosa and Danny to break up. She thought it was the right thing! She thought after they would all be together and stay happy, but she knew better now. The damage had been done way before they got together. As if the group problem wasn't enough, now she was being sent back to her adoptive parents in a month. She hadn't told anyone about what she heard her adoptive aunt and uncle were talking about last night. She couldn't get the strength to bring more bad news into all this madness. She had to wait, there was only one month of school left. She would have to wait, until things got better.

She blinked as she saw Aries move. Brooke looked up at Star worriedly, she wore a tough expression and formed yellow plasma in her hands. She was ready to face evil Aries, if he happened to still be awake.
