Remember: A father`s daughter

The greatest pain

"What do we do?" Atticus asked backing away slightly

"Run!" Aria shouted taking Atticus' hand before running away from Pariah. Pariah smiled and watched the two leave, he lowered his hand and quickly flew after them. He brought the massive plasma ball closer and fired, he purposely aims it further head to stop them, he didn't want to kill them after all…. well, not yet.

"AH!" Aria shouted as the two hit the ground from the sudden impact. Atticus back away and help Aria up, he stares at the impact point and saw a massive hole, he gulps and realised he could have been them.

"Hand her over, boy!" Pariah said while he landed and walked towards them, "Now!"

"Why do you want with me?!" Aria shouted

"I've thought of something better than killing you!" Pariah said laughing slightly

"Forget it!" Atticus shouted and glared at him

"Get away, boy!" Pariah said glaring at him and couldn't believe a mortal was challenging him, "You're no match for me"

"Come on…" Aria whispered in her ghost form, desperately trying to form a clone which would allow them to escape. Aria groan and opened her eyes, she took Atticus's hand and pulled him back, "Are you crazy?! He'll kill you!"

"What the hell are we going to do?!" Atticus whispered while he kept an eye on Pariah, "We need help! Like your dad or something?!"

"My dad won't come! He doesn't even know I'm gone!" Aria said as she brought her hands closer and started to gather her powers, "He'll probably take half an hour before he goes looking for me!"

"We're so screwed!" Atticus said watching her gather her powers into a ball, "What are you doing? Is it a plasma ball?"

"Kind of….. it's one of my dad's powers, he says it simple enough for me to handle," she said and wondered why Pariah simply stood there and waited? He waited for something and she didn't know why?

"What is he doing?" Atticus asked noticing how calm Pariah was, "Why isn't he trying to kill us?"

"How should I know" Aria mumbled and smiled when she saw a complete ball of energy, "I did it!"

"What is that?" he asked and stare at the massive ball with around three smaller ones inside.

"I forgot the name," Aria said looking up slightly, "But maybe this will be powerful enough for us to escape"

"Enough of this!" Pariah walked towards them and was tired of waiting, he had hoped to face at least some resistance from Danny's brat but he was only disappointed. Aria gasps slightly as Pariah stood behind Atticus, she quickly trips him and fired her attack.

"Is that it?" Pariah asked catching the attack in his hand and held it, "I was really expecting more"

"That wasn't my attack," Aria said glaring at him, she smirks and flips him off before she took Atticus hand and quickly hid behind a tree. The two looked over and saw the massive orb suddenly explode in Pariah's hand, the smaller orb struck him in the chest.

"Whoa…" Atticus mumble watching the small orb form together and forming a larger one, as he continued to strike Pariah as he lay on the ground. Pariah shouted and sent the orb flying into the air, he got up with his eyes glowing.

"Shit… I pissed him off" Aria said shaking slightly

"This is our chance to go!" Atticus said taking Aria's hand and pulling her.

"COME BACK HERE!" Pariah shouted. Aria and Atticus ran as fast as they could, she was about to leave the park when she felt something grab her neck. Aria gasps and saw it was Pariah with a very angered glare.

"How?! Did he….?!" Aria held his hand and kicked him in his chest with no effect.

"LET HER GO!" Atticus shouted punching Pariah on the side, "HEY!"

"Stay out of this boy!" Pariah said pushing Atticus to the ground

"At…. Atticus….. go….." Aria managed to speak and felt Pariah lift her shirt, "H…. hurry….."

Atticus eyes widen and feared the worst, he quickly looked around and saw a clip of Aria's dress with an 'F' on the side. He quickly took it off and pressed down on the 'F', he watched the clip suddenly become a pin.

"You're mine to serve!" Pariah said as he lifted his other hand with his hard glowing with a dark magic. Pariah smiled and turned his hand intangible before he plunged his hand into Aria's body, placing the dark magic inside of her.

"ARIA!" Atticus shouted watching Aria's eyes widen in shock, as her hands flop down to her side. He quickly placed the pin onto Pariah's leg and backed away when he saw the pin electrocute him. Pariah shouted and removed his hand before he drops Aria to the ground, Atticus quickly pulled Aria away from him.

"UGH!" Pariah shouted taking the pin off and crushing it, he glared at Atticus and struck him on the face. Atticus hit the ground and touched his cheek slightly, he frowns and got up.

"DON'T TOUCH HER!" Atticus shouted with his legs shaking slightly as he faces this powerful ghost. Pariah grabs Atticus's arm and crushed the bone, he smiled hearing him shout in pain and fell to the ground.

"I'm going to kill you!" Pariah said smiling at him, he soon grabs Atticus's head and slowly tightens his grip around it. Atticus frantically tried to push his hand away with his good hand, he could fell the pressure around the sides. "Did you honestly think! A worthless human like you could fight me?!" Pariah asked, tighten his grip even more, slowly crushing his head like you would an egg.

"PARIAH!" Pariah quickly looked back and saw Danny quickly landing, he took his stance and fired his ghostly wail. Pariah growled in annoyance and let Atticus go, he quickly flew up to avoid the wail.

"UGH! PHANTOM!" Pariah clenched his fist and glared at him while Danny formed clones, he glances at Aria and saw the scar disappeared. Pariah smiled and knew his little addition to Danny's brat was going to work. Pariah laughs slightly and marvelled at his wonderful plan! He just had to wait for the dark magic he had added in Aria's body to take over, forcing her to awaken her powers and kill Danny and his human woman! "Having your own child kill you?! A fate worst than death! HAHA! Danny's heart and soul will break in millions of pieces to see his own daughter attack him!"

"The greatest pain" Pariah shouted and quickly flew away and made his escape, he laugh as he flew away. He didn't have attack Danny any longer or try to kill his human female, all he had to do was to wait and their own child would do the work for him.

"The greatest pain?" Danny mumbles watching Pariah teleport away and disappeared.

"Ugh….." Atticus groan in pain as he held his broken arm, "Glad you made it"

"Atticus, your injured" Danny said kneeling down slightly and notice the broken arm and some blood on Atticus's head.

"I'll live," he said and sat up slowly, "He did something to Aria"

"Aria!" Danny quickly went towards her and notice the scar from the reaper's sword was gone, he quickly brushed it off, he could worry about that later. Danny gently shook her and tried to wake her, "Aria….. are you alright? What did he do to you?"

Aria moved slightly and turned her head to the side, she opened her eyes as her entire eye turned black as night, she twitched slightly and felt something inside her growing. Danny touched Aria's cheek and turned her head, he looked down at her normal eyes and never saw his daughter's cold glare.

"Dad….?" Aria mumbled touching her head slightly, "Ugh….."

"Aria" Atticus said softly smiling at her while he held his arm, "You're alright"

"Atticus!" Aria quickly sat up and pushed her father out of the way, she covered her mouth slightly, and stared at his broken arm and bloodily head. "What were you thinking?! Why did you try to fight, Pariah?!" Aria asked as she gently touched his cheek.

"I wasn't going to let him hurt you," Atticus said and felt light headed, "I'm glad you're alright….."

Atticus smiled some more before he passed out from the blood loss from his head, he sways slightly before he hit the ground.

"Atticus!" Aria shouted
