Ryan could tell this was what made Kelsey cry.
"You stay away from Kelsey, or else." Ryan got up and in a defensive position.
"Yeah, right A 20 year old man whose childhood was almost completely taken away from him is trying to protect the weakest girl on the planet." Danny laughed.
"Kelsey is not weak. She is one of the most powerful girls in the world. More powerful than you'll ever be!"
"Rrrrrightt" Danny said, sarcastically. "Then why'd she let me hit on her?" Ryan's eyes widened. Sweet Kelsey once loved this ass?
"You're lying. Kelsey would never love you."
"Ah, but she did and I'll make sure she never forgets me with that scar I put on her back. It's triggered only by love. You know, you shouldn't love her either. She's nothing but a worthless slut."
"Never talk that way about Kelsey." Ryan's fury was growing.
"Ah, but she is. You will betray her." Danny smiled
"Shut up! I would never betray Kelsey. I'd have to die before doing that."
"That can be arranged."
Danny charged forward as the battle began. Danny threw a punch that Ryan blocked and used as an advantage to help him flip over the imbecile. He pinned him to the hard, desert ground.
"You know it's true. So why don't you just drop the hero act and join me."
"It's not true!"
A silver light surround Ryan's body. As the light grew brighter, Danny grew weaker. With his last ounce of strength, Danny shimmered out. Ryan looked around. Nobody but him and Kelsey.
KELSEY! Ryan thought
Ryan came back to her. She was just waking up. "Ryan, what happened?" She tried to get up, but her back disagreed. She started to fall back, but Ryan helped her cease into the fall.
"Don't try to get up. You have a really deep scar on your back that, I'm guessing, hurts like hell right now. Getting up will only worsen it."
Kelsey smiled." You never change, do you?"
"Maybe I would if you tell me and a young boy named Danny."
