The first chapter! :D
I had some ideas about this while I was revising my Dani Phantom Origins story,(because I don't like how I wrote it) and started this. This takes place several months after PP and yeah Dani is alone and homeless. *sadface :,(*
Danielle opened her eyes. The cold February morning air cloaked her entire body making her shiver. She looked around, snow littered the ground around her. As a small breeze hit her she lifted her head slightly. Looking around she saw that she was sleeping on a bench and was covered in snow. 'Must've snowed last night' she thought. Turning her head around, she saw a yellow school bus picking us students, under an arch that read "Amity Park", hauling them away to the death trap we all know as school. Casper High school. Among the crowd of students was the world famous 16 year old Danny Fenton. Months ago this boy was able to save the world from an asteroid hurdling towards the Earth. Although some people still like to "hate" on the teen, some even tried killing him, the majority of the world praised him, making him an international super hero and stuff.
Danielle sat up, only to be stopped by an instant flash of pain. Her head ached from the previous night. Being 14 was tough in Amity Park, regardless how strong she was.
Danielle grasped her head and laid back down for a few minutes. Once she had gained enough strength, she raised herself up once again, holding herself up with her arms. She looked up just in time to see the yellow school bus drive off from the previously red traffic light. She frowned and shook her head. Danielle always wanted to go to school, but being homeless with no food or warm clothes made life difficult. School was Danielle's last concern.
She stood up, brushing the bitter cold layer of snow off her tattered clothes. Her blue hoodie was starting to fade and her red shorts had long since been hole-less. Her sneakers's soles were worth through that she could feel the snow beneath her through her socks. The only piece of clothing she had that wasn't ruined was her red beanie, which sat atop her head, covering part of her jet black hair That was in a pony tail.
Danielle shivered again from another small unexpedted breeze. She stuffed her freezing hands into her hoodie and stiffened her body a little to conserve body heat. Danielle was confused. She had been outside the entire winter and never got this cold. Truth is, the cold barley bothered her at all. She could lay in a snowbank in her underwear and sleep soundly. Danielle was a little more special than all the other snowflakes on the frozen ground.
Danielle walked over to a local homeless shelter. She hated taking charity, but she had to eat something.
She walked in and instantly felt embarrassed. She looked around and saw homeless everywhere. They all looked a lot rougher than Danielle did, but not by much.
Danielle walked over to the food stand and received a poptart and one of those small boxes of cereal you can buy that only fills up a single bowl. She scarfed both the pastry and the cereal down and left. She hatted being in there, almost as much as a memory she had tried to forget, but never could.
Danielle walked around the city for a few. There wasn't much to do in Amity without money.
The whole time, Danielle could see her breath some out in a cloud like any normal human. She at one point held her head in the air and pretended to be a train, making the occasional "toot-toot" sound.
Danielle had, trained herself, around to Casper High.
"Well, I have nothing else to do... Guess I better be productive." Danielle thought about loud.
She entered the double doors of the school and was greeted by a quiet and vacant hallway.
Relieved that she could enter unnoticed, she wandered through the hallways, looking for something to occupy her time. She walked past countless class rooms. None of the subjects appealed to Danielle. She edventually cam across the school library. She quietly entered the room, trying to remain undetected by any student or faculty. She headed to the section of Astronomy and picked out a fairly good sized book. She walked back towards the exit and crept out. Danielle didn't intend on stealing, just borrowing.
Once she was out, Danielle opened the book and started reading. Astronomy was one of few things that she found interesting.
She walked along the hallways, not paying attention to we're she was going. A good time had gone by when she finally looked up from the book, however it was to late.
She slammed hard into someone, knocking both herself and the boy down.
"Hey watch it!" The boy yelled. He was wearing a red and white football jacket and blue jeans. His hear was blonde and he was abnormally buff looking.
She guessed he must've been the school-wide bully.
The boy collected himself and yanked Danielle up by her hoodie. "What's your problem, runt?" He asked, clearly unaware that it was an accident.
Danielle rolled her eyes. The boy seemed to be about 16 and over confident. She looked into his eyes with frightened look on her face. It was fake, however.
"Currently," she began, " You are."
The boy looked down at the floor where Danielle's book laid. "Book nerd?" He asked with a dumb glare/smile on his face.
"No." Danielle didn't like labels. She already had a few that she dreaded.
"Book nerd." The boy said again, this time not in question form. The boy threw Danielle down to the ground.
"Next time, read up on ways to cure pain." He stated. And raised his arm, preparing to punch the girl before him.
Danielle's eyes narrowed and shifted colors from an icy blue to glowing neon green. The boy threw his blow towards Danielle. His right had missed the girl entirely. Shocked, he looked at the girl again and simply poked her, to see if she was still untouchable.
"Ow...was that nessisary?" Danielle joked. The bully got angry again and this time tried to kick the girl down. But again, another strange thing happened. The girl disappeared completely. Danielle snickered silently at the confused and creeped out bully. She moved in behind him and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Boo." She smiled playfully at the bully.
Infuriated, the boy threw another punch. Dani caught his fist mid flight. The boy looked at Danielle in surprise. Before he could do anything else, the girl swung the bully over her shoulders and onto the cold, hard floor. "That'll teach you to pick on a defenceless girl."
He ran off screaming like a little girl. He had a frightened look on his face. This one, however, was real.
Danielle laughed and picked up the book. She looked around. No one saw.
She walked back to the library and peered in. Just one boy and the librarian. "Sorry to bother you miss," Danielle began, "I found this book in the hallway..." She handed the book to the lady at the desk. The lady looked away from her computer and saw the teen girl. She smiled and took the book and looked it over. "This is indeed our book, thank you." Danielle smiled. She always felt good when she did good. Even if it was as little as returning a "lost" book. "Your welcome."
The librarian put the book on a cart. "I'll return that later."
Danielle walked out of the library and saw the kid from before at his locker.
He ran.
Again.
Danielle had enough school for the day. Life is tiring when you play tricks on the not-so-bright school bully.
Before she reached the exit, Danielle was stopped by a small wisp of cool air escape from her mouth. "We'll I'm not outside yet, so that means..." She turned around to see a rather large snow monster causing havoc in the hallway behind her. She sighed and clenched her fists, putting herself in a battle stance.
Alright all done with this chapter. Was it good? Bad? In the middle? please fav and follow both me and the story! :)
