My Pocket Angel

Danny Main was just your average teenage boy. Well, maybe a little less than average. Danny was considered a "Loser" at his school. And all because he knew more than half of what any of the popular kids would ever learn in their lives. Even though he was tortured daily by all the jocks and laughed at by the prettiest girls in the school, he had a huge crush Maylin Lock. She was a goddess in his eyes and he knew he had no chance if ever being with her. He was pretty sure she didn't even know he was alive, even though he sat behind her in Chemistry.

Maylin is a popular girl. A girl you don't talk to unless you are cool like her or if you have a death wish. Danny had neither. She has long wavy blond hair and easy blue eyes. Scary though. He had seen her angry at some freshman girl once and those eyes became icy cold daggers. She didn't say one word to the girl who bumped into her, she only stared. Somehow it was scarier than her yelling like a drama queen. But non the less, Danny was sure he was in love with her, even though he knew only her status and name.

Today, while Danny was walking home, his mind began to wonder into a foggy state. In that foggy world was Maylin. He thought of how it would feel to kiss her and to smell her. While in his daydream, he hadn't noticed the strange man, lurking behind him in the shadows.

Danny wasn't a weak kid. He could fight if he needed to but it was his courage that was a problem. If the man ever took the chance to do something to him, Danny would freeze with fear and mentally cry for his mommy.

Danny continued his walk, unaware of the danger. The midday sun was beating down on him, causing him to sweat and feel uncomfortable in his jacket. Wasn't there supposed to be a snowstorm? It was the middle of October and it's usually freezing around this time of year. Danny slowed his pace, as did his follower, and shrugged off his jacket. It was about a mile until he made it home so he decided to take a shortcut. This shortcut wasn't anything new. Danny had been down it quite a few times before and all without any trouble. It would take at least fifteen minutes off his walk and he could make it home faster.

He turned left, beginning down a slim ally. His pursuer grinned and quickly followed Danny. Danny was only walking deeper into trouble and he was completely unaware of it. Danny took two more turns down different alleys and his stalker started to put his plan into action. Danny smiled to himself as he thought of Maylin in a bathing suit. Just then, his follower sneaked up behind him, clamping a dirty hand over Danny's mouth. Danny felt something sharp and cool pressed against his throat. A knife, awesome.

Danny was in complete panic and to stunned to process what was happening.
"Hey there. I've been following you for sometime now, boy. How about you give me eveythin' ya got and we part ways like good ol' pals. Sound good, eh?" Whispered the old guy, sending horrid breath into Danny's nose. He nearly gagged but he managed not to. Danny nodded and shifted his back pack off to the ground. He pointed to it, trying to say that he had whatever the man wanted inside it.

"I want what's in your pockets, boy. I'm not stupid." The guy was becoming angry. This situation was not getting any better. Here he was, in an abandoned ally way with a crazy guy pointing a knife to his throat. Was this the end? Danny was panicking. He was gonna die right here and he still hasn't had his first kiss, let alone a girlfriend.

"Did you here me, boy? Empty your pockets. Now." Danny pulled the inside of his pockets out. They were empty. The mugger grunted and began chuckling.
"I see, your hidin' your money some place else, huh? Some place a little more...personal." The old man chuckled and tried to unbutton Danny's pants. Now what. He's and old crazy mugger and a sick pervert? This could only get better.

Danny twisted and fought hard but the knife only pressed against his throat harder. Pain shot through his neck and he knew he was done. This was the end of his miserable life. He felt blood trickle down his neck and silent tears began pouring from his eyes.

"Hey you! Old pervert guy! Leave him alone!" Danny felt a surge of relief. Someone was here to help. He opened his eyes. There was a girl standing on top of a dumpster about twenty feet away.
The old guy stopped trying to unbutton Danny and he glared at the girl.

"Go away little girl, this is grown folk business! Unless you want me to come over there. I suggest leavin'!" The old guy didn't seem worried about the girl. Danny wasn't surprised. The girl looked about his age but she seemed....childish. There was no more hope for him. This girl wouldn't be much help.

"I said leave him alone. Unless you wanna die where you stand." She was so calm and she even had a amused smile on her face. This chick is crazy if she thinks she can easily defeat him.
"Well, I guess I'm gonna have to deal with you then." The old removed the knife from Danny's neck. Danny thought he was being let go but then a sharp pain shot through his side and he dropped to the ground, yelling from the pain. The guy had stabbed him, only in an effort to keep him from running away or helping the girl.

"You run away, you die," warned the creeper. He then turned to the girl, the blood stained knife glinting from the sunlight. Danny writhed in pain on the ground. he was sure he would bleed to death before the guy had the chance to come back at him.

"Okay, old man. I wanna play a game. Are you up for it?" She smiled sweetly and jumped down from the dumpster. She was wearing strange clothes and her pixie cut black hair swayed from the breeze. The old guy laughed and stepped toward the girl.
"Why not? I'm gonna kill you in a second anyway."

The girl smiled. This time her smile seemed more evil than cute. Danny tried not to moved. The more he did, the faster he would bleed. He could only lay there and watch.

"Alright! Lets' play my favorite game! It's called Cut Throat. The rules are simple. The first person to cut their opponents throat wins! Are you ready to play?" Danny was shocked. This girl had a sweet and innocent looking exterior but she was dark and scary on the inside.

"What is wrong with you-" The old guy stopped talking. His eyes were wide with fear and when he tried to speak, he gurgled. Danny didn't know what was happening but the girl was grinning and watching with pure joy.

The guy staggered forward the looked at Danny. A thin line of blood appeared on hid neck and it began spewing out like and water faucet. Danny yelled as the guy fell forward, landing in a bloody heap right next to him. The knife laid limp in his hand and Danny scooted as far away from the dead guy as possible.

"Well that was easy. I haven't had anyone to play with for a long time but it was fun. Hey, are you okay? I saw that he was trying to moles-"
"Don't say that! Just back away from me!" Danny realized that the girl had slit the man's throat, but how? He never saw her move when the guy was talking. None of it made sense.

"I just wanna make sure you are okay. I see he hurt you with his knife. I can heal it for you." With that she began walking to Danny. He started scooting away from her but it was pointless. He was losing too much blood and he could feel it. His vision began blurring and he was light headed. The last thing he remembered was looking into the eyes of the strange girl, then he passed out.
~
"Are you waking up now? I've been waiting for ages! Maybe I should try that kiss thing. It works in all those fairy tales." Danny could hear the voice but he couldn't quite open his eyes yet. Where was he and what happened? He tried hard to remember then everything hit him like a tidal wave. He opened his eyes in pure fear. The first thing he saw were the closed eyes of the girl, and her puckered lips. Danny yelled and jumped from under her.

He was standing. Wait, he was standing! Danny looked at his side where he was stabbed. There was a blood stain on his shirt but the wound was gone.
"Yay! You're awake! I was wondering if maybe you were dead." The girl stood up next to him. Her sparkly violet eyes shining from the moonlight. Moonlight? Danny looked at the sky. Dark blue and full of stars. He had been passed out for at least six hours. Danny's eyes landed on the body laying on the ground. A pool of dried blood surrounded the body of the man that tried to kill him earlier. He was in shock, unable to function.

"Hey, are you okay?" This time the girl sounded concerned. her childish demeanor vanished, replaced by a more mature her.
"You killed him. You killed him and you didn't even move. You killed him" Danny couldn't say anything else. It was like his brain was wiped and all he knew were those few words. The girl put a hand on his shoulder.

"But if I didn't kill him, he would have killed you. You know what? I think we should go home and take a nice looong bath, with bubbles!" She returned to her kiddish state and began dragging Danny out of the ally way. She picked up his stuff along the way, putting it on her back like it was hers. Danny followed unwillingly and he kept thinking about the man. How she cut his throat without moving and how she could be so happy and cheerful eve though she killed him.

They were finally out on the sidewalk. Cars drove past with their headlights on. Danny leaned against the nearest building for support. He was finally coming back to himself.
"Okay, where is your house? Oh, and your name?" Was she serious? There was no way Danny was taking her to his house.
"Look, I don't know who you are-"
"I'm Kiki." she said cheerfully.
"Right, but I'm not taking you home. I don't know you and you killed that guy. I think you need to go see a shrink cuz you are crazy! Absolutely nuts!" She looked at him strangely.

Out of nowhere she began crying, just like a five year old would. She even plopped to the ground folding her arms and bawling her eyes out. This was definitely getting them strange looks from passer-by's. He knelt down next to her, putting a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
"I-I'm sorry. Stop crying, please. I didn't mean it. I'll take you to my place but that's it. My name is Danny, by the way."

She stooped crying in an instant and smiled. Danny suddenly began to wonder if she was faking. She popped up and grabbed his hand.
"I like you Dan-Dan! Show the way!" She waited for him to start walking and he did, only to find out she would be skipping and singing merrily the entire way.

Danny turned onto the street he lived on and Kiki marveled at the building.
"You live here? It's so big and there are so many windows!" Danny was confused by what she said. She was acting like she had never seen an apartment before.
"Uh, well it's an apartment, so, there are lots of windows. You know, cuz there are a lot of rooms."
She nodded and followed him in the building. Danny never like elevators. He thought they were scary and he didn't want to risk getting stuck in one, especially if he had to go to school. He made a turn for the door but Kiki grabbed his arm, stooping him dead in his tracks. She was strong, scary strong.

"I wanna go in those magic door thingies!" Danny looked at her curiously. She really had no idea what any of this was. Maybe she's been locked in a basement all her life. Danny reluctantly walked over to the elevator doors and pushed the UP button.
Kiki squealed with excitement as the doors open "magically". She ran in and motioned for Danny to come. He did but not without cursing to himself. The doors slid shut and he was already feeling panicked. Id this elevator got stuck, he would be in it with Kiki, the psycho devil girl, for God knows how long.

Danny took a deep breath and push 4. Kiki giggled.
"It lights up! How cool!" Danny just leaned against the back wall and closed his eyes. Then he heard it. The constant clicking sound. He didn't want to see what she did because he knew it would only make him feel more upset. But he opened his eyes anyway.

Kiki was pushing every button for every floor over and over again. She was giggling while she did it too.
"What are you doing?! Stop!" Danny pushed from the wall and grabbed her hands. She immediately looked shamed and she bent her head. She was crying again but this time she was silently doing it. Danny sighed.
"I'm sorry, it's just...You can't push random buttons, okay? It's gonna take forever now." She nodded and sat crossed legged on the floor. Danny did the same and waited impatiently as the elevator went up and down the floors.

Finally, it stooped on the fifth floor and they exited the elevator, heading down the hall to is place. Danny lived alone. His parents (more like his dad) kicked him out when he refused to become a football player. His dad was a very athletic man who believed winning was everything. Danny, on the other hand, believed that book smarts were better than physical abilities. He is the top of his class and is on his way to becoming a doctor. His only other family is his Aunt Lena. She sends him money every month. She understands him and supports him more than his own parents do. With the combined money from his aunt and his job at the local book store, he manages to pay rent and afford food to survive on.

Danny pulls out his key to unlock the door. It jingles and Kiki giggles. he guesses that she finds the sound funny. he rolls his eyes and opens the door. Kiki bounds right in without a pause and jumps on the couch. Danny hears a door open behind him.

It's Mrs.Teegle, an old lady who talks to him occasionally.
"Hello Danny. I see you've got a friend. She seems nice." says Mrs. Teegle. Her big glasses magnifying her old and withered eyes. Danny nods and looks back at Kiki, who is picking up random things and surveying them.
"Uh, yeah. She's a friend of mine from school...We were gonna study for our Chemistry exam."
"Oh, I see. Danny, you know you don't have to lie. You're a teenage boy and she is a teenage girl. I know what happens when teens are put in a room together. Have fun and be safe." She winked and closed her door smiling. Danny stood horrified. Dis his old lady neighbor just suggest they were going to...? He shoved it from his mind and closed his door.

Kiki was umping on the couch. Danny dropped his stuff and buried his face in his hands. Why did this have to happen to him? Like his life wasn't bad enough. He walked over to the hyper Kiki.
"Uh, do you want something to drink? I have some Cola." she stopped jumping.
"Cola? What's that?" Danny wanted to curl in a ball and wake up from this nightmare. Who in the world doesn't know about Cola?
"It's soda." She cocked her head.
"Soda?"
"Okay that's it! Is this some kind of horrible joke? Are you doing this on purpose? OH wait, my dad put you up to this didn't he?" Danny was hysterical now.
"Is what a joke? All I asked is 'What's Cola'."
"Danny collapsed to the floor. He couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't take her anymore.
"What are you?" He asked, more desperate for a reasonable answer. Kiki hopped off the couch and she kneeled in front of Danny. A big smile crossed her face and she said the one thing that Danny hadn't expected.

"I'm a Fallen Angel, silly Dan-Dan."
