Chapter 7 : Bring Me to Life
Nigel stood there in the darkness of the room , the only light came from the dim street lights outside .
"Who….. who is it….." he whispered in fear , something moved past him and the wind blasted powerfully at him again , knocking him onto the ground .
"Don't you recognize me ?" said the voice in a mocking tone , "You used the fight me when you were still in the KND!"
"I still am in the KND!" yelled Nigel in fury as he tried to stand up , but something pushed him down again , this time it seemed to hold him down , not letting him move an inch .
"No you aren't……" hissed the voice , "You're dead now , remember ?"
"I'm still alive! Let go of me!" he yelled as he tried to struggle against the force , but failed to do so .
"Oh really…?" suddenly Nigel was lifted up by the force and flung towards the wall . A picture frame with his family picture was hanging there , it crashed onto the floor as soon as he hit it . The glass frame shattered into a million pieces . Some of them stabbed into Nigel's arm , he cried out in pain .
"Look at your arm , you fool ." said the voice , he looked , although the glass pieces were sticking out , the pain had stopped , and he wasn't bleeding…..
"You should know don't you ," hissed the voice , "Dead people cannot bleed……"
'All right , I've had enough !' thought Nigel . The force had stopped pinning him down so he stood up slowly , then he made his wings appear . It was an amazing sight to see two red glowing wings unfold from his back , even he himself enjoyed turning back and looking at it . But now in the face of danger , he had no time to do so .
"I am an angel!" he shouted at the shadow . "I don't care if I'm dead or not ! Because I know , I am still alive on the inside!"
"A very interesting statement , Nigel Uno ." said the voice . Suddenly some black vine like things came up from beneath the ground and curled around him , it pulled him down , forcing him onto his knees . He stared at them in horror . Micah had taught him what it was , Shadow Plants . And only someone with Black Power could control it .
He looked up and saw the shadow come closer to him , then his icy dark blue eyes grew wide in fear . There , in front of him , stood his old enemy , in fact , the whole KND organization's enemy .
"Father….." he said , looking up at the figure in horror . The figure smiled evilly as it's eyes glowed yellow , a terrifying yellow which only could be seen in someone's worse nightmare…..
"Yes….it is me…." said Father , glaring at Nigel out of his glowing eyes . He held out one hand towards Nigel , the Shadow Vines around him curled tighter around him , Nigel let out a cry of pain .
"How….how is it that you can control these Shadow Plants….." asked Nigel while he grasped painfully for air , the vines had started curling around his chest , and almost stopping him from breathing .
"Oh….didn't you know?" said Father stepping closer to get a closer look at the struggling boy . "I've decided to become part of the Darkness…."
"W….what?"
"Yes….." hissed Father , "Remember Grandfather? Well , he invited me to join the Darkness , to help defeat all the good in this world . And when I found out that you were an angel , so called "Angel of Light" , I just had to accept the offer!"
"Grandfather…..but….but I thought I erased his memories….."
"Yes , you did….." said Father as the vines almost cut into Nigel's skin , "But although his body is still on Earth , his soul shall forever be part of the Darkness! And so will mine…." That followed by an evil laughter .
Suddenly , light poured down from the stairs , the shadows were seen at the stairway . "Well , well ." said Father glancing at the stairs . "Seems like my brother and his wife decided to crash our little reunion . Shall I add a little drama ?" he walked away from Nigel , who was staring at the stairway in horror , and crept towards Nigel's parents in the shadows .
"Nigel? Nigel o' bean?" he could hear his father say , "Nigel? What's all that noises?" he heard his mother say . He tried to call out to them but the words died in his throat .
"I say….it's pretty dark down here….Oh My Gosh!" he heard his father yell , followed by a scream from his mother . He bit his lips in horror , Father had started attacking them !
"Mom…. Dad… No!" he managed to yell . "Damn these stupid vines !" He begin struggling , the vines tugged at him but he didn't care .
"Don't hurt my parents !" he yelled as fire materialized from his hands , at once the vines snapped like burnt ropes and he flew towards the stairway .
He knocked his enemy off the stairs , while his parents watched on , too scared to say a word . Father fell onto the floor below , he sat up and saw Nigel soaring down towards him .
"Stay away from my parents….." hissed Nigel , holding out one flaming hand towards the silhouette . He didn't know it , but his eyes were glowing bright red , red that showed bravery and pure love .
Father looked into his glowing eyes for a while , then he got up , "We'll meet again….. Nigel Uno….." then , he vanished .
As Nigel still stood there , making sure the silhouette wouldn't return , the lights were turned on . He turned and saw his father standing by the switch , looking at him sadly . His mother was looking at him from the stairway .
"Nigel ," said his father in a low calm voice , "Nigel if you don't want to tell us anything , it's okay…..:"
"No ," replied Nigel , looking at his father sadly , "I've hidden too many things from you since I got into the Kids Next Door , I must tell you this now !"
Then he begin telling of how he got his angel powers , he told of Father , and some secrets in the KND . In fact , he told things his been keeping hidden from his parents from starting from four years ago !
When he finished , his parents were sitting on the couch , looking at their son , who now to them , looked so grown up with that stern sad look and two red wings behind him .
"I hope you understand , dad , mom . And I'm sorry I kept so many things from you…." He ended his long story of secrets .
"It's okay , Nigel o' bean , we understand ."
Nigel looked down , and smiled…..
YAAAAAY!
(Cuddles Angel Nigel) You finally told your parents!
