Frozen Love

Chapter 1

When you first looked at the small town of Amity Park, you wouldn't see much. As all near invisible towns go it had a little downtown, low crime rates, and small non-name brand stores. Of course you wouldn't imagine that ghosts invaded nearly everyday.

Not as normal as it looks eh?

And you wouldn't think that the town's protector was a fifteen-year old, half-ghost boy.

Amity Park was not a normal town as most people thought. But after the near destruction of the Earth they had learned that surprises come in small packages.

A small body flew above the town, his messy, bright white hair fluttering in the light breeze. Glowing green eyes looked down, scanning every inch below him. Danny Phantom sighed softly as he slowed down his speed, his ghostly tail slowly shifting back to human legs.

It hadn't been very busy today, making the usual busy teen thankful for the rest. Normally he would be suspicious of such low ghost sightings but today he could care less.

Danny had always hid his secret, afraid that he would be hunted down, experimented on or something. Worrying about how his ghost-hunting parents might take it that their son was half-ghost was something that had always consumed his mind.

In a way… his fear had come true. Of course not in a way he had thought.

After revealing the rest of his identity to the world he had thought, after being accepted, that things would change. Boy did they… He couldn't go anywhere without the crazed 'fangirls' chasing him down. And if it wasn't them it was the reporters, the cameramen, the Saturday night talk show hosts, the paparazzi, and everyone else in the world that wanted to meet the famous Danny Phantom.

A small frown tugged at the corners of his mouth.

And since they knew his full human name then they figured out soon where he lived. Now he knew what it felt like to be stalked… everyday it was the same thing;

"Danny will you wait a moment? How was it that you were able to hide your half-ghost from the famous… or infamous, ghost-hunters that you lived with?"

"Danny we love you!" "You're so cute!" "Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Danny Phantom! Smile!" FLASH! "This will be great for the front cover!"

Danny groaned at the thought, running a gloved hand down his face. That was a horrible picture of him getting his butt served to him by- of all ghosts…- The Box Ghost. Snickers went behind his back for weeks.

But that wasn't the worst of it. He hadn't even been able to spend even one hour with Tucker or Sam for weeks. The last time he was alone with Sam was when he had phased into her room a month ago, and that hadn't lasted long since her parents still hated him. Being half-ghost apparently made it worse… go figure.

"Hey look! It's Danny Phantom!" The teen let out a sigh as he looked down at the growing group of people below him. Putting on a forced smile he waved down at them before increasing his speed, leaving the group behind.

Well there was one good thing that he could count on… Vlad was out of his life for good. Danny felt his eyes burn at the thought of the man's name. If he showed up again not only would the town shun him but he would get rid of the older halfa once and for all. He had been a massive shadow that loomed over Danny but not anymore.

"Look up there!"

Not again… Danny thought, scowling slightly at the people below him. I'll just get rid of them the only way I know how. He quickly turned invisible and turned towards the outskirts of town, not noticing the frowns that went across the peoples' faces below.

Now that he was once again alone with his thoughts, his mind began to wonder onto Valerie. He hadn't seen the ghost huntress since he told his secret. Not even in school.

The colored girl blamed everything on his other half, Danny Phantom, for the downward spiral her life had taken. No matter what he said she would always think it was his fault for how her life was now. One time though… he had seen the softer side of the girl. As Danny Fenton he was so close to being with her. But she pushed him away, saying her life was too complicated at the time.

It had been a blow to his pride more than his heart. But it wasn't so bad he supposed, tilting his thoughts to the present. After all he had Sam.

The ghost-boy's irritated facial features melted quickly, a soft smile going across his lips. He had always thought Sam differently from his other best friend Tucker but he had thought it was because she was a girl. But of course he found his feelings for the gothic girl went deeper than that.

"Sam!" Danny suddenly halted, floating above a small lake. Immersed in his thoughts he hadn't even noticed how far he had flown away from Amity Park. Nor did he remember the date he set up with Sam and Tucker. They had promised each other that no matter what they would have their new traditional Thursday movie; to celebrate the upcoming weekend.

"Sam and Tucker are going to be so mad at me…" He muttered, shifting his glowing gaze onto the setting sun.

Dark pink fingers of light stretched towards him, orange and purple swirling above and below the blood red sun. Waves of crimson water lapped at the sandy edges of the lake. The clouds had turned a deep blue, the sky above them going black.

Danny suppressed a shudder at the pink-like claws. He needed to get Vlad out of his mind.

Pushing away these thoughts he turned towards the town, frowning at the distance. How had he not noticed he had gone this far out?

"Sam's going to kill me."

Ring-Ring

Danny looked down at his pocket knowing without even looking who it was on the other end. After a few moments of just letting it ring he reached down for it.

A flash of light blinded him and he instantly brought up his arms to shield his eyes.

"What the-"

The rest of his sentence was cut off as something smashed hard into the base of his neck. He hissed in pain, spinning around to face the direction in which the hit was fired only to have a fist hit him straight in the face.

______________________________

Sam growled as she stared angrily at the phone in her hand. That was the second time she had gotten Danny's voicemail. Even if he was fighting a ghost he would have called them first as he always did.

"Chill Sam, he's probably just doing his last rounds around the city." Sam turned at a male voice. A dark-skinned boy was reclining back on a theatre chair in a large dark room. A humongous giant screen TV stared back at them, static flickering across the screen as it waited for the DVD inside it to begin. The male had his nose buried in his PDA, as usual, his fingers pressing the buttons quickly.

"Do you ever put that thing down Tucker?" Sam asked, coming over to stand over him. Her crossed arms said she was angry, the amused glint in her purple eyes said otherwise.

Tucker grinned up at her, pushing his glasses higher up on the bridge of his nose. "It's not a thing Sam, she's a she." He ran his hands down the curved metal in a loving manner. "A beautiful high tech piece of machinery that needs constant love and attention. That and I need to check my email everyday so no I never put her down."

Sam sighed, flopping down on a seat beside her friend. She looked once more at the phone in her hand, flipping it open.

"Stop worrying so much Sam." She looked over at Tucker. His grin was still plastered on his face. "Danny'll be fine. He always is!"

The girl shifted her gaze back onto the open phone. With another sigh she let it close.

"Now let's start that movie! That'll make us both feel better!" Tucker's response was a punch to the arm.

Danny yelped as a foot came at him, barely having time to turn intangible to avoid it. Before he could react a flurry of vicious punches came at him. A strike to the jaw twisted his neck painfully to one side while a blow to the stomach caused him to double over, gasping for breath.

Whoever this attacker was, they didn't give him any time to recover or see their face.

Danny grunted as a strong fist was brought down hard between his shoulder blades. The next hit was more brutal.

A hand wrapped around the back of his neck and sent electrical currents down his spine.

He screamed as hot needles of electricity shot through every nerve. He flailed, grasping onto the hand around his neck. Digging his fingers into the assailant's arm he shot off small flashes of ecto-energy.

The attacker grunted, the hand recoiling from him.

Free from the attack, Danny floated a little ways away before black spots filled his vision. Waves of pain and weariness washed over his body.

The halfa turned around slowly, looking around the area with half-lidded eyes.

There was no one around.

He blinked and once again scanned the area. Obviously he had not imagined it. The pain lacing up his spine told him so.

Danny narrowed his eyes. Well… there wasn't anything else he could do. He hadn't even seen the attacker.

As he was thinking of what to do next a blast of energy slammed into the base of his neck. He cried out, arching his back as the agonizing pain from his spine flared, diving down into the bone, racing up to infect the rest of his body with the burning pain.

Danny panted, but quickly spun around to see once more that the area was empty. He could feel his consciousness slipping away. Every thing hurt, yet everything felt numb as if the pain was fading away.

Never had an enemy taken the fight this far except for one person. Before his battered mind could think up a name, his world went black.

Tilting backwards the teen fell head-first into the bloodred lake below.
