DEV - Motivation

This was based off Lightning Streak's fanfiction Deliverance - Shot 1: Motivation
m.fanfiction.net/s/7683255/1/D… This will lead you to the first chapter, I highly suggest reading this because it has to be by far, the best Dan and Valerie fic that I have ever read!
The specific scene it's based on is this tidbit:

' "Look at you," he hissed, trying to get her attention, goading her on. "Dead, in the middle of the street, left for the scavengers! No one buried you! Your pathetic species abandoned you to me!"

He knew she wouldn't move, wouldn't retaliate, bit it was the principle of the thing. She was supposed to sit up and shoot him, which he would effortlessly avoid and ridicule her.

The dance. It was a twisted and delightful dance.

He didn't know when Valerie had become such an integral facet of his afterlife, but he knew exactly when he decided she was rather like a toy that he couldn't stand to throw away.

She existed to challenge him and entertain him with her miserable attempts to save the world. If she was dead, how could she do so.

"And now look what you've done!" he complained. "you destroyed my enjoyment of world conquest."

He rolled his eyes, like a suffering saint, and he kneeled beside her. Her grabbed her chin non-too-gently and forced her face towards him. Hollow and clouded teal eyes stared sightlessly beyond him, and his nose scrunched up. "Disgusting."

He hated that look on her. He'd lied to himself. He hated the way she looked dead.

So he changed it.

People always thought ghosts fed on the energy of human souls, whether it came through fear or love. People didn't know the reverse was true as well.

Dan pressed his hand against her stomach and pushed his energy through her. The void within the shell of her body
naturally searched for the source of great power, and in a sigh of relief, latched onto him, drinking from his fingers.

He did not smile his signature demonic smirk until he saw breath raise Valerie's chest.

He brushed her greasy ringlets away from her closed eyes, his gloved fingers lingering too long on her skin. The dried blood on her temples seeped back into her, melting through skin and muscle to flow once again in her veins, her renewed lungs and heart working ti push blond through her body.

He could hear her heartbeat now.

Her brilliant, teal eyes opened as she coughed and gasped.'

Oh...my...JEEBUS!! This thing took forever! Mind you that when I work on something I became really anal about everything and was working on it on and off for a couple of months. And the extra details I put on this thing...drove me nuts!! I can only begin to imagine how long it will take for me to color it...ugh. But if anyone would like to volunteer their services to do so I would ever be so happy!
I hope when LS sees this she likes it.
