Chapter One

Authors note:

Hey everyone! I would like to introduce my newest story… cue drum roll plz *drum roll* Darkness Unravelled! That's right this is an AU where the nasty burger did blow up and everybody died except… well Danny of course! And maybe someone else ;) anyway I don't really know if this should be considered a tragedy or angst but I'm pretty sure hurt/comfort is a fitting genre, well… for now it's kinda just hurt but you know what, I'm going with it. Anyway Enjoy and may the angst be with you.

Death is a terrible thing.

"AAHHHHH!"

If you're a part of the living, please allow me to shed some light on the situation. A few years ago before I turned into a monster I was a hybrid. Not human but not a monster. I was the halfa. A halfa is a half human/ ghost hybrid, and as a halfa you have certain choices you must make in life. It's too bad I was too young to realize the consequences all my decisions had.

My name is Daniel James Fenton, all the people that called me Danny are now gone and it's all my fault. I am no murderer but that is how I portray myself as. Now I want revenge, I want to take back what was stolen from me, and most importantly I want to erase 'him' from time.

However in order to do all of this I must search for the remaining member of my once forgotten team. The last of team Phantom, the last survivor. I must search for Sam Manson an old friend of mine from highschool. Sam was the only one who survived the explosion at the nasty burger, it turns out that her parents had somehow been blown to pieces too. That was a shame but at the time I didn't care because they despised me, sometimes I was actually glad they weren't around. Sam had moved in with me after the incident and we lived together for about two years without any hinges. Sadly we were still only sixteen and not of official age to live on our own so we were sent to an orphanage. Two separate orphanages. However this didn't stop me from visiting her in the dark of night.

She was my home after the incident, the only one that shared my pain, and now I've lost her. Sam had run away from the orphanage one night. Although I don't say I blame her, the orphanage was an awful place filled with awful people. I had searched for her for many days but she was nowhere to be found, eventually I gave up and started bottling up my emotions. All I ever felt back then was pain, guilt, betrayal… and I still feel this way.

Anyway when I was seventeen they let me out deciding I was strong enough to make it on my own. The moment I was released I started to feel different like I was somehow stronger. I guess I should've taken that as a warning but then again I should've taken a lot of things as a warning. With every aching day I struggled to remain true to who I was. I started feeling the desire to steal and soon after I felt the urge to fight but not evil spirits like I had done once before but good people such as policemen. When those urges started to consume me I decided there was only one person I could turn to and that was Vlad.

I had made my way to Wisconsin and demanded that Vlad tear out my ghost side because I knew that, that was causing the problem. To my surprise he had done it without question stating that some people can't take this much power without crumbling to dust. He had tossed me onto a stretcher like machine and knocked me out with sleeping gas, I don't remember what happened after that but I do know that he had successfully removed Danny Phantom from me. When I woke up I found nothing but rubble, he had destroyed everything. At first I thought it was Vlad trying to get rid of me but when I saw my ghost side in the newspaper I was sure it was him. I haven't seen Vlad since the incident; a lot of people seem to disappear when I'm around.

I finally started to feel normal again and I decided to go back to looking for the lost Goth girl but there was one problem, I had no idea where to start. She had disappeared without a trace so long ago and she hadn't left anything behind. So here I am eighteen years old in my old hometown Amity Park, still searching for her and of course I just so happen to run into one of my old enemies.

"Skulker why are you hunting me anyway? I don't have ghost powers anymore! Don't you know that?" I looked up at the overpowered toaster before dodging another one of his missiles.

"I don't care whelp! Your ghost side is causing havoc for me and everyone else in the ghost zone, and if I can't catch him than I'll just have to catch you!" he pointed another one of his weapons at me and blasted away again, failing miserably.

"I really don't have time for this" I reached for the thermos which was precariously placed on my belt and sucked him in. I could hear him curse a few times when I shook it.

I still fight ghosts; as a matter of fact I've developed my own weapons over the years and of course they all have Fenton on it. The thermos is the one weapon I kept from home, and it's a good thing too because I can't seem to replicate the Fenton thermos no matter how hard I try. I've only been in my hometown for two minutes and I'm already attacked. That is not a good sign. The only reason I came back here is that this is the only place I think Sam would've went. I have no hard evidence to back that up but where else could she have gone? She's too stubborn to start a new life somewhere else and she must've heard about my ghost side by now so technically shouldn't she be at least a little bit concerned about me? Not that she was the day she left.

It still baffles me that she ran away without telling me. I thought we had gotten practically inseparable but I guess we had different opinions. If anything I'm just searching for her so I can yell at her and tell her how awful she was for leaving me but no… that's not the only reason. I have a bad feeling that my ghost side is after her and I know that if he finds her before I do than she will most likely be killed. That's why no matter what happens I must keep searching. I just hope I'm not too late.

Authors note:

Wow that took me awhile and its only under 1,200 words but oh well. What did you guys think? Think that I'm good at angst or whatever this is and that I should continue or if I shouldn't even bother. I need your feedback! I'll only update if you guys want me too!

Thanks for reading!
