Watch the stars, turn you to nothing.
Now blush and smile as they whisk you away.
"Danny you hurt me, you hurt me more than you will know." She spoke cooly her voice was deep and seductive.
"Sam I didn't mean it..." Danny trailed on, she seemed to have a different more freakish air about her now. It seemed inhuman and her tone told him he was in for it no matter how calm it appeared.
Infact Danny had been away from her for four years now. He only returned in search of her, it hadn't been his choice to move at all. Now nineteen Danny had no idea what had happened to Sam, or his old town, since he left. It was a desolate place completely evacuated, except for her.
She appeared in a long flowing black strapless dress, a spider amulet hung from her chocker, and her hands were covered in black velvet gloves. Sam's eyes were the deep violet color he remembered, yet they were unnatural in a way.
"Sam?"
She kept her back to him and quietly played with the dead branches of the trees. Danny was begining to get the feeling that nothing was alive here, not even Sam.
Velvet burns the wrists while restraining.
You blushed and smiled and said you would stay.
"Do you know what it's like?" She asked and let an uncomfortable silence pass between them.
Danny stared as her frozen breath floated away and disappeared with the gray in the decemember sky. She stayed silent again as if she was trying to regroup herself. He opened his mouth to speak but she raised a hand to silence him.
Danny backed up and gasped as long roots from the ground of the dead trees came forth and bound him at the wrists and ankles. He was forced to his knees as the restraints attempted to flee back to the underground. Danny stayed kneeling on the ground and stared at her.
"I don't understand." He whispered hurtfully.
Sam stopped fidling with the dead branch and her back tensed up. "You will, oh you will."
Steal the glamour from death and before you die,
Oh, you should see...
Sam slowly turned around and to Danny's shock he saw that her violet eyes had turned a violent red color. They burned through his very soul but he couldn't look away.
"What's wrong Danny?" She pouted her shoulders relaxing. "Don't you still find me attractive?" She asked the cold decemeber wind blew through her raven locks and they wipped her face.
"Sam what happened?" He asked fearfully trying to free himself from the restraints desperately.
"Do you know what it's like?" She asked again her voice growing angry and her eyes began to glow. "What it's like to have your life stolen away by something that had none?" She demanded, the winds picked up and long wraiths released themselves from the ground and flew towards the sky, moaning.
City lights like rain,
Dance and explode.
Fall upon debutants reeling from nights that
Kiss and control all of our broken hearts.
Sam smirked as she walked closer towards him. "Come on Danny, come play." She cooed and grabbed his wrists and pulled him from his restraints.
Danny stood before her stricken with fear and confusion. Who were those tortured ghosts and what was Sam doing? She stared at him lustfully and before he knew it he was thrown against a dead tree by a source of powerfull energy. He half opened his eyes and rubbed his aching head. She didn't even give him time to recover, she came at him.
The next thing Danny knew he was thrown to the ground ferociously. His back immediately stung from the hard impact and he stared upward and looked at Sam as she bent over him smirking.
"Sam, I love you..." He whimpered.
Her eyes did not soften like he expected they stayed red and hateful. She placed a combat boot down hard on his chest and slowly began to apply pressure. Danny could hear the cracks one by one as Sam dragged out the torture, he couldn't fight back even if he was able, it was Sam. He just couldn't so he stayed on the ground listening to his rib cage shatter and staring teary eyed as it his former love.
Danny gasped and wheezed with each breath and his eyes went wide as Sam leaned down over Danny and kissed him passionately.He tried desperately to escape as she stole his last breath away.
"We all want to die like movie stars," you said as you jumped from the height of our cutting room floor. While above us, glowing, exploding, our dreams burst forth in light and death. Hold me and tell me "We'll burn like stars. We'll burn as we fall. Watch as city light dance for us."
The life dissapated from Danny's body and Sam gently let her fingers close his eyes. She couldn't say that she felt sorry for him, but it didn't mean that she wouldn't miss or ache for him. She turned and left his body among the dead trees and disappeared in the gray shadows.
In a half awake state while driving I was listening to this song. This idea came to me and I thought it was just too cool to overlook. So I only used a few lyrics from this song in an out of order state because these were the lyrics that most involved the images that came to me. So yeah this was an AFI song the title is the one for this story. I understand it's really unclear and a bit confusing...so I'm gonig to give you one blunt detail that some might over look coughcoughmyfriendcough, Sam is a ghost. I hope that helps and it most definately wont help if you aren't reading this at this moment. And I promise I won't write another freaky oneshot next time.
