A Phantom Prophecy *DISCONTINUED*

Chapter 38: Loss

A/N: So... hi my lovely peoples. I was going to be a mean author and not update this for about a week but my old friend insomnia has decided to drop by and after spending about 3 hours on YouTube, I decided in my current state of insanity I would update! Let's see how horribly wrong this will go! Enjoy! :)

Third Person POV

Fright Knight watched in horror as green blood leaked from his beloved's wound, staining her beautiful dress. A small trail of blood leaked from her mouth and her breath's were shaky. He fell to his knees beside her.  Scarlet's body slowly rose from the ground, her eyes blood red. She raised an eyebrow at the mourning King and his dying bride, and chuckled. "Hmm, not my intended target, but I can make this work." She mused. While she toyed with another one of her daggers, no one knew how to react. They were all frozen. Sam was the first to break the silence that had filled the room, aside from Nina's desperate gasps for air. Clockwork and Danny had knelt down beside the couple and were doing their best to try and save her.

Sam aimed her blaster at Scarlet, "I knew you were nothing but trouble from the moment I met you." She hissed.

Scarlet gasped mockingly, a hand resting on her chest, "Why Samantha, your words, oh how they wound me! Do you not remember our little moment in the girl's restroom." She fully turned her body to face Sam, placing a hand on her chin. "I recall complimenting you on your beautiful eyes. A wonderful shade of violet." Sam tried the blush that came to her cheeks, causing Scarlet's grin to grow wider. She whipped her head to the side, her bright hair cutting through the air, "Anyways, I have a schedule to keep. And you all are currently interfering with it."

Tucker scoffed, "I don't know if you've realized it yet, but it's all of us against you. There's no way you're leaving." All the ghosts gripped their weapons even tighter and shuffled the slightest bit closer to the cloaked girl.

Scarlet looked at the teen from the corner of her eye, pretending to ignore the slowly approaching army, "What makes you think you even have a fighting chance?" She threw the dagger in her hand at the nearest ghost, causing them to scream in pain, before rushing towards the distracted group at the back of the room. Another dagger was pulled from inside her cloak and she gripped it tightly in her hand. Everyone began firing upon her, no one holding back. Dani charged up balls of ice with ecto energy and launched them at Scarlet while Sam, Tucker and Jazz fired their blasters at her. The rest of the ghosts in the room hurled everything the had at the girl, ice, fire, sound waves, shadows, and much more. She dodged every attack with ease.

Meanwhile, Clockwork was busy trying to heal Nina's wound. He had removed the dagger and now had his hands hovering over the wound, focusing all his energy into healing it. Nina reached for Fright Knight's hand and he held it, placing her palm against his cheek. "Why Nina... Why?"

Nina coughed, "I love you Pavor. And if anyone needs to live it's..." Nina sucked in a deep breath and then started to cough. When the coughing stopped, she resumed her sentence, "it's you beloved. I am just a simple maid."

Tears fell from Fright Knight's eyes, "You are far from being a 'simple maid' my love." Danny's insides twisted with guilt. He felt so useless, just sitting there, watching Nina die. He had been absentmindedly listening to the battle when a flash of color in the corner of his eye caught his attention. Scarlet.

Danny saw her coming and got up to stand in front of the three still on the floor, determined to protect them at all cost. Nina needed to live, Fright Knight needed her. The Ghost Zone would finally have order restored to it, no matter what a stupid prophecy said. The halfa curled his hands into fists and let glowing green flames cover them. He felt the pendant under his shirt provide him with the energy needed to use this power. Scarlet stopped dead in her tracks as she saw the flames dancing across the teen's hands. Everyone's attack on her stopped as well as they noticed the rage in the teen's eyes. "Well, little Phantom, you are just full of surprises," Scarlet chuckled.
