I will have an warning in this chapter. This story of Bell has some T rated stuff, the reason why the stuff is rated as such. So be warned now.
Danny looked at the sleeping form of James thinking about what he had just said.
"Did James fall asleep?" A voice asked causing Danny to tense and look to see a pale, almost white, skinned girl about 18 years of age with black hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a blue t-shirt and black pants. The black smaller then usually cylinder on her belt told Danny that she was another Jedi but what was that whip on her belt? It matched the design of the cylinders, but…
"That is just like him, especially since he picked his favorite bed in the medical bay." The girl chuckled as she walked over to James and smiled when she saw that he was asleep. She gently tucked him in and then sat down next to him on the bed facing Danny.
"May I get you anything?"
"Oh, ah…" Danny said hoping that she hadn't noticed him staring at her. "Do you have hot chocolate?" The girl smirked. "Of course,"
With that she stood up and then left the medical bay through the door directly in front of where Danny's bed was. Once she was gone, Danny looked over and around the medical bay. Looking at James, Tucker, who was sleeping on a cot nearby and then at his bed.
How in the world did my life turn from horrible to so good? He smiled. I guess I do have good friends. The hissing of the door opening brought him out of his thoughts as he looked up and saw the girl come in with two piping hot mugs of hot chocolate and a big bag of…
"Are those marshmallows?"
"Yup, would you like one or two?" The girl smiled as she pressed a button on the side of the bed, making a small table rise up from the floor. Danny smiled back. It had been so long since he had marshmallows or hot chocolate. "Oh, two,"
"Two, it is," She smiled as she sat the tray on the table and then popped the two marshmallows in Danny's drink and handed it to him.
Danny smiled as he took the drink and then slip it down happily. "So you are Master James's new apprentice?" The girl smiled as she took a slip as well. Danny nearly choked on his drink and then looked up at the girl.
"How did you know?"
"Oh, something you have to learn is that not many secrets remain secrets around here." The girl smiled. "The infamous General James taking an apprentice" She chuckled a little, "It shocked even me and I have been with James for a long time now,"
"Oh," Danny said as he looked down at drink.
"May I ask what your powers are?" The girl asked.
"If you tell me your name,"
"Oh, did I forget about that?" The girl asked shocked. "Sorry, my name is Bell, I'm a Jedi Knight." Danny smiled as he shook her hand,
"I'm Danny and I…well, it's easier to show then tell," He said as he went ghost.
Bell's eyes went wide for a second, but then smiled
"Well, that explains it. You're just like James, interesting." Bell said as she looked down at James and saw that he had moved a little closer to where she was, sitting almost on the edge of the bed. She smiled at that and then looked at Danny, who was still in his ghost form and drinking his hot chocolate slowly. Bell then saw him move to grab another marshmallow and she smiled. Suddenly the marshmallow started to float on its own and then landed right in Danny's cup. Danny looked up at Bell confused,
"I have the power of telekinesis, I always was able to move things with my mind." Danny smiled at her,
"That's awesome,"
"Yes, I think so as well," Bell smiled at him. Suddenly she gasped and looked down to see that in his sleep, James had wrapped one of his arms around her waist. She blushed as Danny looked on,
"So, are you two dating,"
"No," Bell said sadly.
"Really, because it sure looks like it" Bell shook her head, while her face became very red.
"Never mind, so what have you decided?"
"About?" Danny asked taking another slip of his hot chocolate.
"Whether you want to be James's apprentice?" Bell said as she took a slip of her hot chocolate as well.
"Oh," Danny said as he turned back human and looked at the floor again.
"I don't know, he had helped me, but I'm not sure if I can trust him." Bell looked down at James at that and then said softly.
"Trust me that is something you don't have to worry about."
"How do yo know?" Danny asked. Bell sighed,
"You know I first showed my powers to my grandma, she loved them, but told me to keep them hidden. I loved her with all of my heart. My parents were ok, but were barely around. My grandma really raised me and even taught me how to sew and use my powers to do it."
Flashback: Ten years ago
A younger Bell was looking at the beautiful black dress that was on a dresser maker's dummy and only halfway completed. She smiled as her hand glowed white and a needle with a thread floated up and then a white sleeve followed it and connected to the dress, the needle and thread then slowly connected the two together.
Bell was starting to breathe heavily as she used her powers to do that, but then relaxed when she finished. The dress was long formal that was black and white and was most special because of the very fine thread that her grandmother had given her.
"You are doing very well. I'm certain that your dress will be the best in all of the third grade and the prettiest girl there." An older voice said as Bell looked up to see her grandmother walking in with a tray of a cup of tea and a punch of orange juice.
"You're my grandmother, you're supposed to think that," Bell laughed and smiled at the woman as she took the orange juice. The woman laughed as she nodded to agree.
She had long white hair that didn't look all the gray or weak. Very few wrinkles were on her face and black eyes shined with pride for her granddaughter. Her tastes were blacker than anything else, but Bell loved her all the same. The two soon were talking and laughing about everything that had happened so far as Bell enjoyed even moment with her grandmother.
End Flashback:
However, soon Bell frowned. "However, she didn't have much longer. I didn't know at that time, but she had breast cancer. She had been fighting it for years, but not too long she lost." Bell said sadly as a few tears fell from her eyes. Danny didn't say anything as he listened.
"After that, well, my parents didn't like my love for sewing. My mother said this 'A Hayward's place is not to sew but to have servants who do that.'" Bell shook her head. "However, I loved it too much to stop. I just kept it hidden. It was when I was 14 that everything fell apart. I didn't know at the time but it seems my grandmother was a member of the Alliance and gave me a comlink and said 'Keep this on you at all times and if anything happens, press the button but only if it is an emergency.' I didn't know what it was, but she made me promise her so I kept it. After she died…well, things went bad to worst. My mother left soon after that, leaving my dad is almost no money. I had made some clothes and sold them to pay for some of the bills. However, something happened."
Flashback: 4 years ago:
Bell was sitting in her room with another dress makers dummy in front of her. She was looking at it as she levitated some papers with dress designs on it as she attempted to find out what to do. Suddenly, in a bang the door opened and Bell gasped as she turned to see her father and his friend. The two men had gasped when they saw the float pieces of paper, but then the friend yelled,
"She's a witch". Bell had to leave, she, using her power, threw all the papers at them and then jumped out of the window and landed gently on the ground. However, soon the two ran out of the house and chased after her.
End Flashback:
"I was so scared," Bell said as she felt James tighten his grip on her. "They were armed and many bullets went right past me as I ran." Danny was shocked by what she had said, but was confused what it had to do with trusting James, but waited.
"I used the comlink and was lucky that two Jedi were in the city at the time." Bell shook her head as she remembered what happened. "I had ran down an alley and tripped on something and landed very hard on the ground. I knew I had cut my knees up pretty badly, however my scream of pain had told my father and his friend where I was. I attempted to run, but couldn't and just fell on the ground and leaned against the wall. It wasn't long until the two came, armed with shot guns and pistols. I was so scared and weak. I was trapped. I heard them arguing with each other, but then a heard a zipper unzip and my eyes went wide. I looked to see my father's friend walking towards me and he looked like he was about to rape me." Bell's voice had gone to a whisper with fear the only emotion in it.
Danny's eyes had gone wide with that and he looked at her worried. He gulped,
"Did he…"
"Oh, no, hell no," Bell said. "It was then that two shadows jumped down from the roof and one kicked my father's friend so hard that the weapon dropped from his hand and his chest had flatted." She smiled, "I saw the person who did it after that as his face appeared from the shadows. It was James and he was looking at the man with hate. He then picked him up with his mind, causing him to glow green and threw him into the wall and then to where my father was, at the front of the alley." Bell said as she remembered what happened next.
Flashback:
"Master," James said as he looked at where the beacon was coming from and saw Bell for the first time. Wow, she's…beautiful… Wonder how she has a comlink, He thought.
"I see, but we still in battle," Chu-Hui said as she raised her staff and took a stance. Bell's father looked at the two as his eyes went wide. His friend was down for the count and it was then that James saw that his zipper was down. His eyes went silver as hate filled them.
"James, calm down." Chu-Hui said just as Bell's father fired and hit Bell right in the shoulder. Bell screamed in pain as James's eyes went wide as he saw that.
"YOU SON OF A BITCH" It was with that, a silver line appeared at his midline and he transformed into his ghost half. Wow, he's actually pretty…hot.
Bell thought even with her pained filled mind as her hand attempted to stop any blood lost. Chu-Hui sighed as she watched James charge at the man, destroying his weapon, but not his shot gun that he fired a second before James could stop him.
The bullet was heading directly to Bell and would have killed her if James hadn't yelled,
"ALUCARD!" Suddenly in a split second another man wearing a black suit with pale skin appeared in front of Bell and stopped the bullet with his bare hand. James, Chu-Hui, Bell, and her father all looked on shocked at that as James knocked Bell's father out and then looked at the man who he thinks he had summoned.
He then walked over to Bell and placed his hand on her shoulder and allowed it to glow blue. It wasn't long until the wound was gone and the bullet was removed from her and in James's hand as the two locked eyes with each other.
End Flashback:
"It wasn't long until I came to the temple after that. James found out that Alucard was his servant and I was allowed to join or not. I joined, I had nowhere else to go anyway and I learned that my grandmother had read about the Alliance and had requested that if anyone happened to her that I would be safe. James and his master made sure of that and well, I can say this. You are lucky to have James as your master. He is brave, loyal, and honest. He is one of the strongest Jedi and knows every last move and power that a ghost can have."
"Really" Danny asked, a smile appearing on his face.
"Of course, he had his powers for a while. I'm sure he will teach you all that you want to know with no strings attached." Danny nodded at that. Soon, Danny and Bell finished their hot chocolate, but continued to talk about the Alliance, James and whether Danny should accept.
"Well, it's getting late," Bell said as she removed James's arm and stood up. "You should be getting your sleep," She said as she picked the tray up and started to leave.
"Ok, goodnight," Danny said.
"Goodnight, Danny." Bell smiled as she left. Danny sighed and soon got comfortable and fell asleep not long after that.
