Chapter 6: Dance with the Devil : Flames and Shadows

Rachel woke up to the darkness of night as she stared up at the ceiling she waved her hand in front of her face. As a result a small spark appeared blue light lit up the darkened room. Getting out of bed she wondered out into the bright light of the place she used to call home. As she sighed she noticed that Sarah was sleeping in her room peacefully in the bedroom next to hers. 

While her powers indeed had just awakened Rachel sighed as she paced in her room a thought came to mind. 

"Hmmm I wonder if I can shadow travel." she thought as she went into her room. While she was indeed raised as a human, Rachel wasn't completely ignorant on supernatural abilities from what she noticed shadow travel was a basic means of transportation. 

With that thought in mind Rachel sat crossed legged as she breathed in and out attempting to at the very least phase into the shadow plane like Dark and Anti did. 

"Alright." she said as she closed her eyes and imagined her body being consumed by the shadows within the room. As she did she felt a feeling of being cold surround and encase her body. When she opened her eyes again she noticed that she was in a darker but parallel version of the world she knew. "Ha ha I did it!" she said as she stood up and grinned. "Oh this is gonna be fun." she said as she walked through the shadow plane to explore its differences which was not to different to that of the real world. 

Meanwhile Mark leaned his head against the mirror of his room. The thoughts of his friend Rachel had plagued at him for some reason. "I hope she is alright." he thought as he went to sleep his body being sleep deprived as he closed his eyes for just a moment. 

Dark had been restless within Mark as his worry had been evident within his hosts body. Anti had done some major psychological damage on Rachel and he was ready to rip that damn demons throat out if he attempted it again. While granted on the one hand Dark was to restless to sleep, he did wish to check in on the female with green eyes that had captivated his interest. 

With that thought he allowed his shadow to roam across the floor and shadow travel to were Rachel was supposedly in bed. 

Back in the shadow plane Rachel began to walk around a bit amusing herself at the immense silence that was hidden within the plane. "Alright now I need to figure out how to phase out." she said to herself as she tried to think. "If getting in means I get absorbed into shadows then maybe I should imagine myself being spat out of shadows." with that thought in mind she tried to phase out. 

"It seems that every time you pass out Darling I catch you wide awake at night." Dark chuckled as he approached her from the shadows his shadow self amused that she had found a way to actually enter his favorite dimension. 

Rachel nearly jumped at the sound of his voice as he approached her from behind and she sighed "And you seem to enjoy startling me to death itself." she chuckled. 

Dark could not help but smirk a bit as he watched her. "Interesting you managed to figure out how to enter the shadow plane on your own." he said as he circled her. "Are you attempting to learn how to phase out of it as well?" he said clearly reading her thoughts. 

Rachel turned around and glared at Darkiplier. "Next thing on my to do list." she said as she turned sassily around. "Learn how to keep a telepathic mind reader out of my head." Out of the corner of her eye she noticed Dark actually flinch for a moment "Whats the matter Dark?" she said teasing him for once it felt kinda good to be able to tease the teaser. 

Dark looked at Rachel and noticed her grinning mischievously. "Are you mocking me darling?" he said as he approached the young female who stood her ground. 

"And if I am?" Rachel said as she stared back at Dark's shadow. "I am not afraid of you. Neither am I afraid of Anti." she said as she glared at him.
