Ch.00 prologue: the cold hands

Ever-lasting Regret

"Welcome back everyone."

The cold, eerie voice of Phantom rang out as he surveyed the thirteen people assembled before him.

Finally, his gaze settled on the figure directly in front of him.

Phantom gave a disturbing smile.

"Ahh, it's so very nice to see you…Miss Dawn."

The girl's eyes remained expressionless and stoic.

Slowly, carefully taking his time, Phantom walked down off of his throne on top of the alter. His footsteps sending echoes all around the Chess Pieces base in the castle.

Even in the dim light, Phantom walked to the girl with confidence until he stood right in front of her.

Phantom leaned down a bit and lifted the girls chin with a cold dead finger.

"Where's your beautiful smile Miss Dawn? The smile said to bring hope and faith back to the Cross Guard. Hmm?

He asked mockingly. His voice filled with taunts and mock care.

Blank eyes returned his gaze.

Phantom gave her a smile but there was no warmth in it.

"Or can it be that witnessing the death of the one most important to you caused you to lose your bright light?

His cold smile still adorning his features. Suddenly, his face darkened.

"I can take your pain away you know."

Dawn's head flicked up briefly to meet Phantom's dark gaze before she lowered her head again.

"That's right Dawn, I can take away all those terrible. Terrible memories of the Cross Guard, your precious friends, and…of Boss. And all you have to do is one…little…thing."

Dawn looked up once again, her stoic expression remaining the same but with a slight longing to them.

"Since you already have the zombie tattoo we are already going to be friends forever…but…lets start forever today. Say yes and all your pain will go away."

Phantom let his cold smile adorn his face once again, waiting for her reply.

Dawn looked down, letting her dark blue hair cover her face. She didn't dare close her eyes because if she did…

It was still so vivid in her mind. Boss's laughing face, anger, and then cold and dead on the floor.

Her eyes snapped open as her eyes began to water.

Dawn raised her head one last time. She stared at into the eyes if the person who killed the most important person to her. Her tears were flowing freely now.

"…take them away…'

Phantom smiled, obviously happy at her decision.

"Of course but…your name…it will have to be changed."

Phantom pretended to give great thought to a new name. though he had already chosen one before she ever agreed. When he found that enough time had passed, he gave a great big smile.

"Nova. Is such a better name no? Well then, let's start forever."

Phantom pressed his hand against her eyes, but a few tears managed to slip through. As the coming darkness began to invade her mind, a thought still flitted around.

"im…so…sorry…Boss…Al…"

The world suddenly went dark, and Nova welcomed it.

TBC?

This story is more like bittersweet angst/romance. Or at least, I intend it to be. But I do intend for it to get darker. This is my first attempt at angst so don't be too harsh. Oh, and by the way, this is not PhantomXoc, I don't want that and if it seems like that please tell me. Please review nya! Until then, ill do my best nya!
