Me and the Phantoms

"normal speech" Me inside my head My sister

Chapter 1-Am I Alone?

Ok, listen, let me just say out, I'm Sapphire and this is my story

Line Break

"Sapphire, get up" my mum said shaking my shoulder gently. "Come on honey" Groggily, I opened my dark blue eyes as my mum's hand rose up and brushed a lock of very long blonde hair off my face. "We're here, our new home". Mum was smiling as I sat fully in the car seat before leaning over me to unbuckle my younger siblings. I unbuckled myself then squeezed past mum into the dark, streetlamp lit street. The first thing I noticed was the house a couple of doors down.

WOW .On the roof was a big UFO kind of thing. It looked like it belonged in a sci-fi movie. It was a good thing my brother was asleep. Man would that be annoying. I can just see the newspaper headlines. "UNKNOWN GHOST KIDNAPS YOUNG BOY"I guess I should explain. I have ghost powers.

You see, when I was a baby, my parents,mytwin sister and I were on holiday in Europe, driving through the country side. Nearby, unfortunately for me, and by some horrible coincidence, Yes they exist, an illegal nuclear plant exploded. Luckily, it wasn't enough to effect my parents, or I would be an orphan, but it was enough to affect me and my sister. It killed her, and fused her newly formed ghost to my body, half killing me in a way, and giving me ghost powers. From then on, when they got over their grief for my sister, my parents trained me. My sister is still living, I can talk to her, but she's just, there, she can't take control. So if my parents ever want to talk to her, they just talk to me, and she replies through me. (Let me just say, my parents were going to name us when our eye colours set, and you probably know babies have blue eyes when they are born, so they just wanted to see if they changed. That's why they named me Sapphire. My sister never got a name)Then when my siblings were born, I told them.

Lately there has been a problem, well a few problems

My powers have been diminishing, and for some reason, whenever it transform, I'm stuck with a tail, my legs just don't exist in that form anymore.

The press found out about me in my old town and the government's ghost hunting unit, 'Guys in White', came after me, when I was defenceless, so we moved here.

"hey Mum, I'm going for a bit of a fly to get a grip of the town"

"OK sweetie" I walked up to the house and walked in as dad had already unlocked and carried my siblings to bed. Then I transformed from the 13 year old girl with knee length blonde hair, dark blue eyes, wearing a light blue ,floor length dress with a dark blue belt, the girl I was, to a girl with knee length silver hair, light blue eyes, wearing a black one shouldered top (my left), a white belt and elbow length gloves and a blackish-grey ghost tail, were a black floor length skirt should be.

'bout time, I wanna fly' my sister laughed in my mind, I giggled and then started flying outside. I took to the air. Up and around I flew, occasionally chatting with my sister, over the park, and the school, past the weird UFO thingy on top of the house near ours'.

'It's beautiful here'

'it sure is'

I must have flown for hours before a giant missile shot past me

"Whoa, what was that!" I exclaimed.

"that was me, new ghost girl" a voice said behind me. I turned and screamed at what I saw as my sister stated

'whoa, weirdo alert!' and she couldn't be more right. A huge robotic ghost with flaming green hair was floating behind me. He had a charging laser gun thingy sticking out of his arm.

"Who..who are you?" I stammered, slowly backing away from him.

"I am Skulker, the Ghost Zone's greatest hunter, and you, you are about to be stuck in a cage for the rest of your life" Then he fired the gun, and I was thrown to the ground, so hundred feet below, and landing on my front. As I pushed myself up, my transformation rings appeared around my waist. Gasping, I forced them away, but not before Skulker saw them. He grinned. "A halfa, you just got much more interesting"

'A whata?'

'SHUT UP!'

He blasted me again, so I rolled away onto my back.

"I shall hang your pelt on the wall, next to the welp's"

'Yuck'

'WILL YOU SHUT UP, I CAN'T CONCENTRATE'

'Whatever'

'Hey, do you want to be a pelt on some ghost's wall?!'

'...no'

'Exactly, then shut up'

Skulker raised the gun again, a vicious grin in his metal face. I screamed, turning my head away, closing my eyes and raising my arms as if to protect myself, When a green blast knocked him away. I curled up into a ball, shivering with fear, not daring to look. Sounds of combat rang through the air, continuing for almost an hour.

Finally, words were exchanged, and the sounds of combat died with a scream from Skulker and a vacuum cleaner like noise. Then, I felt something touch my shoulder. Fearfully, I looked up into the face of a ghost with snow white hair and glowing green eyes, around 14.

'Cutey alert!'

'You say that about every boy we see'

'Yeah, so?' this caused me groan mentally.

"Hey, are you alright?" he asked as he knelt over, offering me a hand. I took it gratefully and he helped me up. The I hissed in pain. There was a small gash on my stomach, bleeding green ectoplasm, but my human blood was not showing yet. "oh, let me help with that"

"No, I can do it" I said quickly. I didn't really was a stranger dealing with my wounds.

You're such a wimp

WILL YOU SHUT UP FOR ONCE IN YOUR AFTERLIFE!

I pulled of my gloves and tore them into strips. They would just reform next time I reformed. The I tied the strips together and tied the resulting striop around my stomach.

When I finished I said

"Thanks for saving me by the way" My ghost tail whipped nervously. I looked at the boy's legs, wondering if he could change them into a ghost tail and back like I used to.

"You're welcome. Say, I haven't seen you round here before. You new?"

"Yeah, just got here today" he smiled

"I'm Danny, Danny Phantom, what's your name?"

I started. My parents just called my Sapphire. I didn't really have a ghost name.

I can't believe we didn't think of that before!

I know

"I..I don't know" I stammered sadly.

"Oh, well how about…..'Elle Spirit!'"

"Elle Spirit?" I asked

"Yeah, I think elle means 'she' in French, so it would mean 'She Spirit'"

It's got a nice ring to it

"Yeah, I like it, thanks Phantom"

"you're welcome Spirit. Well.." he started to float, his legs formi9ng a ghost tail. SO he could do that. "I'll see you around Spirit"

He started to fly off "Oh, and welcome to Amity Park"
