Shattered memories
Thief!
Flashback
"Ember…." Danny whispered as he held her hands, "I have to tell you something…."
"What is it, Danny?" Ember asked softly
"It's a really important question….." he said and stared into her eyes
"What?" she asked
"Super important!" Danny said and pout slightly. Ember stared at Danny with a serious and annoyed expression, she took a deep breath trying not to get annoyed.
"Dipstick... Just tell me…." Ember mutter squeezing his hands
"Ring pop?" Danny asked and smirk, as he tried to hold back his laughter. Ember stared at the candy and wanted to facepalm, she rolled her eyes and pushed it away.
"Seriously?!" she said
"Will you marry me?" Danny asked taking out a diamond ring.
"I don't want a freaking ring pop!" Ember said turning her head away, crossing her arms and clearly didn't hear what he said afterwards. "I thought you wanted to ask a serious question... Like I like ring pops" Ember ranted.
"So…. Is that a no…. on my marriage proposal?" Danny asked kneeling down on one knee with a smile on his face, "We're even on out rooftop"
"I don't want a ring pop… wait…. What?" Ember mumbled having her brain finally process what he just said; Ember quickly turned around and saw Danny kneeling on the ground with a diamond in his hand.
"Will you marry me?" Danny asked again.
"Uh….?" Ember smiled and squeal slightly, she nodded her head and hug him before kissing him. Danny chuckled as she kissed him all over his face, he held her against him and kissed her back.
"It's a yes?" he asked
"Is a yes... A big freaking yes" Ember said with a big smile. Danny smiled even more and put the ring on her finger, he looked up and took back the ring pop.
"Do you still want it?" he asked and wiggle it in front of her
"Uh….." Ember chuckles softly and took the ring pop from his hand, "Yes to the candy too"
Present
"Hm…. moron" Ember whispered softly staring at her engagement ring. Ember put her hand down as she slowly entered this strange realm; she found Moirai's realm since it was in the dead centre of the Dead Zone.
"Come on, Dipstick…" Ember quietly walked through Moirai's realm, she saw strange clocks floating with the hands stop at different times, she could hear voices moaning, and asking to be released. She didn't like this place... She felt weird and uncomfortable... She assumed she was probably the first ghost in Moirai's realm who wasn't in a box.
"Call me, babypop" Ember whispered softly as she went further into Moirai's realm, knowing she was getting even closer to the beast himself. Ember walked towards a strange door, she slowly opened it slightly and looked inside, hoping she hadn't found Moirai.
"Boxes?" Ember looked back and saw the quiet realm, she took a deep breath and opened the door wider before going inside. She quietly closed the door behind her and stared at the millions of boxes, she back away slightly and was simply taken back from the countless of souls won't wanted freedom.
"What the hell….." Ember mutter looking up and seeing the boxes continued upwards.
"Help…." Ember turned her head slightly hearing the souls calling for her?!
"It's an outsider…. She could free us" another box said, glowing as it spoke.
"Phew…. You can do this McLain…." Ember moved away from the door and started to walk, she knew Danny would call her but she still had to walk around, hoping to get close enough to sense him.
"Please free us…" Ember bites down on her lip and quickly walked faster.
"Help!"
"Free us!"
"Where are you going?"
"Hello!"
"FREE US!" Ember stops and covered her ears, she closed her eyes with the souls screaming at her. She shook her head as the voices got louder and louder, all demanding the same thing.
"I can't….!" Ember shouted quickly running and trying to escape the screams. Ember looked around and saw another door, she quickly headed towards it and entered the strange room. She didn't care what room this was, she just wanted to escape from the screaming souls.
"Ho…. How could he…. keep them all…." Ember shook her head slightly and glance back at the door, she was happy she couldn't hear them anymore but she entered a strange room without even checking if Moirai was there or not.
"Shit…. More boxes" Ember said softly seeing fewer boxes from the other room, she could only see ten instead of the millions from before. Ember sighed and walked towards one of the boxes, she looked at the plate and read 'Adolf Hitler'
"Shit…" Ember slowly back away from the box, she wanted to free Danny and maybe a few boxes are well, but she was differently not going to free this one. Ember looked around in the dark room and couldn't understand why Danny wasn't calling her, she guessed these boxes were special to Moirai.
"Where the hell are you?" Ember went towards the door when she suddenly felt the pulsing from before. She quickly turned back as she held her chest, "Danny…"
Ember slowly walked back into the room as she felt the pulsing get stronger and stronger, as she went further inside. She soon stops at a wall but could feel the pulsing strength; Ember moved her hand along the wall.
"He's there... There must be a secret door or something" Ember mumbled moving her hand along the wall and trying to find something to activate the door. "There pulsing is stronger here… he must be here" Ember said moving and suddenly pressed down on a button.
Ember back away and watched a secret door open, she smiled and slowly entered it as she held her chest. She soon found herself in another room but this time there was only two boxes, she slowly walked towards them and made sure Moirai wasn't here with her.
"Danny…" Ember whispered taking the box on the left. Ember held the box when she felt the pulsing get stronger, she knew it was him!
"Ugh!" Ember fell to the ground as she clenched her chest, she couldn't bear the pulsing anymore... It was too strong.
"Danny… calm down… I… I can't escape if you…." Ember mumbled as she gently rubs the lid, "Please… just hold on…."
Ember immediately felt the pulsing slow down, she didn't think Danny would hear her but he did... The pulsing eventually stops which allowed her to make her escape.
"Thank you, babypop" Ember whispered as she held the box close to her chest, "Let's get out of here"
Ember stood up and left each room, she quickly headed to the last door before she had to go through the screaming souls again, she opened the door and saw Moirai standing in front.
"Stealing, are we?" Moirai asked with his eyes glowing bright red. Ember quickly backed away as she clenched the box, she wasn't going to give up Danny's box without a fight!
"Get out of my way!" Ember said slowly backing away with her eyes glancing at Hitler's box.
"Give me the box!" Moirai said as he opened his hand.
"Fuck... You!" Ember said. Ember grabs Hitler's box and quickly removed the seals, she opened the lid and threw it across the room.
"NO!" Moirai shouted as he pushed Ember out of his way. Moirai saw the lid open with a white light shooting out, he quickly opened his hand and stop the light from releasing the soul. He quickly pushed the light and soul back into the box before he sealed it
"That was a close…." Moirai picked up the box and place it back; he looked back and saw Ember was gone. Moirai's eyes glowed even brighter as he growled in rage.
Somewhere in the Ghost Zone
A whirlwind of fire suddenly appeared on an abandon realm, Ember emerged and quickly look around and searched for Moirai chasing her. But she didn't see him... She didn't see him and she still had Danny's box.
"I escape…." Ember mumbled in disbelief, unable to believe she escape Moirai's realm…. 'alive'?!
Ember smiled and looked down at the box, she gently passed her thumbs on the lid; she removed the seal and opened the lid. She saw a bright light shoot out from the box which made Ember drop the box on the ground, she closed her eyes.
"Where…." Ember opened her eyes and saw Danny on the ground, he looked the same for the exception of his skin being the same colours has hers.
"Danny…." Ember mutter with a smile from ear to ear; Danny rub his hair and stared at this... Strange woman beside her.
"Who?" Danny asked
