Danny Phantom: Tainted Love

Chapter One: Gone

Author's Note: Okay, I'm finally getting this done. Anyways it is late right now so I really don't feel like writing a very long author's note. So now, on with the story.

Sometimes I feel I've got to

Run away I've got to

Get away

From the pain that you drive into the heart of me

The love we share

Seems to go nowhere

And I've lost my light

For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

Once I ran to you

Now I'll run from you

This tainted love you've given

I give you all a boy could give you

Take my tears and that's not nearly all

Oh...tainted love

Tainted love

Danny's P.O.V.

I'm running. I can't let them catch me. What was that, I didn't murder anyone. Apparently I did or they wouldn't be chasing me. I'm lucky I escaped, but not before one of them dragged a dagger through my eye. I've been running for hours. I think the cut through my eye is starting to heal up. That's going to leave a scar. I wonder what my parents will do when they see it. I smile bitterly. I guess no more Danny Phantom. Now I just need to find somewhere to turn back into human form. Vlad can't be behind this because this stunt could easily reveal y secret. I can barely think, my head is pounding and my steps are kicking up asphalt. My throat is dry and my breathing is ragged. I've given up flying because it wastes energy. I can't stop because I know they're barely a mile behind me. I'm afraid of turning back to human form because I might pass out from exhaustion and they might blame my ghost form. I felt myself run into something. I looked up and saw that it was a fence. Why did it look so familiar? I turned around and saw myself in the Casper High football field. I heard the roar of an engine and panicked. I tried to turn intangible, but it was no use, I was physically and mentally exhausted. I heard footsteps behind me. I gasped and froze.

"We've got you now spook!"

*3 hours earlier*

Sam, Danny, and Tucker were eating at the Nasty Burger when Danny's ghost sense went off.

"Sorry," Danny said guiltily.

Sam sighed, "Go."

Danny smiled a crooked grin and ran off. He changed into his ghost form with his signature battle cr. He flew off towards the school where his ghost sense led him. When he got there, all he saw was chaos. The school was encased in a blue flame. A young couple was crouching down next to a figure. Danny looked closer and saw that it was a dead little girl, not more than eight years old. There were sirens and flashing lights. People were getting hauled into ambulances and firemen were trying desperately trying to put out the fire, but it was no use. The enchantment put on the ghost fire was too powerful. The best they could do was keep it a bay. Danny surveyed the area and hesitantly landed near the couple. The couple looked up as soon as he landed.

"You killed our daughter!" yelled the mother outraged.

Danny put his hands up in protest, "I didn't do anything like that, I swear!"

"Liar!"

By now a crowd was gathering around them. Everyone was pointing and yelling. Danny was getting jostled around so much that he couldn't tell a sense of direct of direction. Then a force mad the crowd part like a red sea. Danny turned to face his savior only to find an ecto-gun to the face. So, Danny did what any normal person would do in this situation,….He booked it.

"After him!"

"Don't let him get away!'

They sort of sounded like a crowd of rabid fangirls, but don't be fooled, it wasn't anything like that. This was an angry mob. Now we go back to where we were at of the beginning of the story, three hours later. Throughout the chase, more people joined with their children. Jazz, Sam, and Tucker were with their respective parents worrying themselves sick. Done with the inro, back to where Danny is cornered with nowhere left to run.

*3 hours later*

"We've got you now spook!"

Maddie had never felt so proud. A little over a year of hassling, but they finally got him right where they wanted it. This time she wasn't going to let it get away.

In one second Maddie had a shot fired at it and Danny was knocked harder against the fence. One civilian grinned wickedly seeing the scar forming where he nicked straight through its eye. Yes, they were calling Danny an it. They downgraded him so much that he wasn't a living or afterliving thing. The whole town advanced on him. Jazz, Sam, and Tucker were trying their best to help Danny by tripping, distracting, hitting, and knocking the guns out of hands of random people, but it was no use, they were soon overwhelmed and lost in the crowd. Everyone took turns beating the crud out of Danny while Team Phantom stood on the sidelines grieving for Danny. There was nothing they could do.

Then as if by magic, a swelling green vortex opened up behind Danny. Everyone backed away out of surprise. The surprise then diminished and fear flared up when Frostbite and Wulf walked out. They approached Danny and Frostbite picked up Danny gently and put Danny on his back. This is when the townspeople came to their senses and put their weapons up.

"Freeze! Or we'll destroy you to!" Maddie threatened.

"We don't mean harm," Frostbite said.

"That's it!"

The resounding sound of a gunshot was heard throughout the field. Luckily Frostbite froze the shot before it reached him. The civilians were now astonished.

"How did you do that?" Valerie asked.

"It is a power persons of the Far Frozen have."

"So only ghosts of the Far Frozen have it?"

"Only persons with a cold core."

"A what?"

"A ghost's core is like a human heart. It keeps them stable and holds all their power," Maddie stated.

"Like the Great One here," Frostbite.

"Who?" Maddie asked.

"Danny Phantom," Frostbite said.

"If Phantom has a cold core, how come he never used this power?" Valerie asked.

"It is the Great One's choice."

"But it is impossible to use cytokinesis and ecto-blasts at the same time," Maddie said.

"The Great One has a unique core, same as his cousin. They are the only persons to be able to."

Everyone was silent after this. They were all sitting there mulling it over.

"Why do you think all ghosts evil?'

"Because they are," Maddie replied.

"If all ghosts are evil, then that means all humans are good."

"That's not what I said!"

"That is what you implied. If the ghost zone if the flip side of the human world that means all humans are good. You are blinded by differences and base everything on assumptions. Come to me when you realize the truth," then Frostbite walked through the portal.

The portal remained open and everyone stared at the swirling green mass. Then something broke the silence.

"How could you do this!" yelled Sam outraged.

"He had it coming to him," said Pamela Manson.

"Had what was coming to him my butt!"

"Samantha! You will not speak to you mother that way!"

Sam looked like he could kill, "Fine! Until you come to your senses, I'm leaving!" Then she stomped through the portal.

"Tucker, I don't want you associating with that girl anymore. I think she may be a bad influence."

"No."

"What!"

"I'm going with her."

"Maddie! Jack! Help us!"

"I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do."

The Foleys and Mansons looked dejected.

"Come on lets go home," Maddie said.

"Jazz? You coming?" Jack asked.

Jazz looked at them, eyes full of sorrow, "You should be ashamed of yourselves."

Then Jazz jumped through the portal.

I finished it. This is now not nighttime, but the next day because my mom made me go to bed. Anyways, first chapter down, I need to type up chapter two, and finish writing chapter three. Anyways, toodles! :D :) =D =) Internet carrot cake for anyone who reviews.
