Chapter 2

(Danii's POV)

The last thing I saw was the look on Royce's face as he tried to get out to save me. My last thought was 'i love you Royce', then everything went black. I could hear faint banging over and over again, and it started getting louder. I thought to myself 'am I still alive? no I cant be I was shot.' The world around me was still black. I tried to open my eyes when I heard a voice say,"Alright we have the final ghost now lets get out of here". I then reconized the voice and it was Cyrus. Then I heard another voice that sounded like Dennis, "What do we do about the girl? We cant just leave her here." "Put here in a cube, she'll look good with the rest of my collection." I then felt my body get picked up and thrown inside a cube, then everything went black.

(Royce's POV)

I watched as Cyrus and a man named Dennis talk to each other, then I saw two guys pick up Danni and throw her inside my cube. I caught her and gentle sat her down. I looked up at Cyrus and Dennis and banged my bat against the glass startling them a bit. Then a crane come out and picked up the cube causing me to stumble backwards and hit the back of the cube. I caught Danni before she could hit the wall and held her close to me, then the cube dropped onto the back of the truck and the roof closed shut. I tried to see what else was in the truck and i saw my "sweetheart" right next to us. 'damn it how did they find my car?' I thought then I looked at Danni. She was turning pale and her warmth was fading, I had to keep her warm so I took off my jacket and wrapped it around her. I kissed the top of her head and said, "I love you Danni".

(Danni's POV)

I was so cold I knew I was dying and there was nothing i could do, but then I felt a little warmth. I tried to move but something was wrapped around me, I opened my eyes but it was all dark. The only light i saw was a yellow glow from the latin spells. "R-Royce is that you?" "Yeah, its me doll, are you okay?" "I think so". I tried to get up then I winced in pain and grabbed my chest. "Easy doll dont move around so much" I looked at my chest and my eyes widened. "Oh my god, Royce what happened to me?" He looks away from me. "He shot you...Cyrus shot you" I look at my chest again and the wound stopped bleeding and started to heal. "Am I dead Royce?" He looks at me "I dont know" I slowly get up and look for a way out. "What was the deal you made with Cyrus?" I looked at him then looked away. "The deal was if I helped him capture the spirits of The Black Zodiac then he'd promise me eternal life" Royce looked at me in shock and disbelief. "Im so sorry Royce I didnt know this was gonna happen" Tears start to form in my eyes. "Why...Why would you do this to me?" "I didnt know this was gonna happen, about 38 years ago after the accident I went to your grave on top of the hill that overlooked the baseball field like i did every year since then, I couldnt feel you there like I normally did so I thought something must've happened. As I was leaving a man in a black suit approached me, he told me that there was a way i could see you again. All i could think about was seeing you again so i went with him not knowing what was gonna happen. The next thing I know was that he injected me with something and blacked out. When i woke up I was in a glass room that had strange writing everywhere. I grabbed a mirror next to me and saw that i was 17 again. The man in the black suit came into the room along with another man, who i learned was Dennis Rafkin and I found out that he can sense spirits and can see peoples past by touching them, but goes into seizures and gets headaches from it. So he doesnt like people touching him. Cyrus then told me that there was a price I had to pay in return for my change, he said that I had to help him capture the 12 spirits of The Black Zodiac. and if I didnt he would remove the spell and kill me. I looked at Dennis to see if there was a way out, he just shook his head and looked away with a sad expression on his face so i knew there was no way out so i accepted. So over the years I helped him capture the 12 spirits: Dana Newman(The Angry Princess), Jimmy "The Gambler" Gambino(The Torso), Billy Michaels(The first Born Son), George Markley(The Hammer), Susan LeGrow(The Bound Woman), Jean Kriticos(The Withered Lover), Harold and Margret Shelbourn (The Great Child and The Dire Mother), Elizabeth Smith(The Pilgramess), Horace "Breaker" Mahony(The Juggernaut), Ryan Khun(The Jackel) and now you Royce Clayton(The Torn Prince)" I look over at him and he suddenly pins me to the wall by my neck. "Its all your fault, its all your fucking fault that I'm stuck in here!" I grab his arm trying to pull it off of me. "I-I'm sorry I-I didnt know, please Royc-" "No!" He tightens his grip around my neck. "P-Please Royce, I-I know how to set y-you free again I-I just need t-time please." He lets me go then looks away. "I cant trust you anymore" He moves away and sits in the far corner away from me.

Sadly this is the end of the chapter. I hope you've enjoyed the second part of the flashback. More to come in the future. R&R. Thanks. :))
