YOU GOT IT! Lisa is back with another one of her mused stories! I first heard the preview on the radio for the Vampire thingy and then drew Danny as a vampire, Jazz as a vampire, and then Valerie/Paulina as a vampire (undecided) and for the first time ever, it was DECENT because I had tried it the way the show drew. Wow. And Danny looks REALLY, REALLY HOT! Yum. So please, enjoy my new writing exercise for NaNoWriMo, Deep Waters.
SUMMARY: When Danny attains the power of vampirism, he has a hard time controlling two powers under his belt. But when Danny and several other students disappear, Sam and Tucker tread into deep waters trying to find them.
DISCLAIMER: nope. Sorry.
RATED: T for slightly mature themes, mention of blood, and language.
Chapter 1
"Red"
Three people—one a girl, the other two boys—ran down an alleyway, the pale, black-haired boy's breath coming out blue. He stared at the figure in the alley. It did not float, nor did it glow, as was customary to the creatures he regularly fought. Out of pure instinct, two bright blue rings formed at his waist and went in opposite directions as if same pole magnets. As they passed over his body, a different boy emerged, a white-haired one wearing a skin-tight suit.
"Who are you?" snarled the boy, curling his white-gloved hands into fists. The figure—dressed in a red dress shirt, a black tie and pants, leather shoes, and a cape that was black on the outside, red on the inside—smirked, revealing two fangs against his pale skin, contrasting with his sleek black hair.
"I asked you once, who are you?" he yelled, his neon green eyes pulsating with energy, which began to flood into his hands.
"Danny, back off!" warned the black-haired girl, who was decked out in lavender and black. The other boy, an African-American with a red beret, a PDA, and a metallic thermos, seconded her thoughts. Danny ignored the comments.
The man, a vampire, the three had deduced, lunged forward at Danny. Danny threw an ectoplasmic blast to throw him off as he jumped into the air, floating in safety. He was wrong about that, too.
The vampire swirled into black nothingness and reappeared behind Danny at his shoulder, baring his fangs. Danny managed to go intangible and escape his hold as the two were now air bound and fighting.
"Tucker, do something!" begged the girl, clutching his shoulder. He bit his lip in worriment, knowing that, even as the humorist of the trio, this was a serious situation.
"Relax, Sam, relax," he muttered, grabbing a wire attached to his PDA and stuck it into the thermos. He was saying it more for himself than anything as he went through JavaScript on his PDA, programming it to not catch ghosts, but vampires. At last, it informed him of its success and he unplugged the wire from the thermos.
Tucker uncapped the thermos as he aimed with precision for the duel. At a moment where each one stared the other down, he had it set for the vampire's chest. But as he pressed the "capture" button, the two lunged for each other, the ray of blue light missing entirely.
"Ah, damn!" he muttered through gritted teeth, now examining the thermos out of instinct.
The vampire went in. He caught Danny off-guard and sank his teeth into his shoulder, sending the now bleeding boy plummeting to the ground as Sam screamed for help. Tucker looked up and the two rushed to Danny, who was now becoming human once more.
"Danny? Are you okay?" asked Sam, shaking him by the shoulders. His head, limp on his neck, swung back and his mouth opened. Tucker stared worriedly into it when he found that his canines had become much sharper and much longer. They were no longer their regular white, but stained in red as if he was a vampire after a spree.
Sam, who had seen them, too, dropped him in surprise. As soon as his head made contact with the ground, he began to stir, closing his mouth over the fangs so that they were barely noticeable.
"Ugh…what hit me?" he asked, rubbing his head. "And why do I feel like I'm teething?"
Sam stared at Tucker, who gave her the same look. This usually was code that they had to tell Danny whatever it was, good news or not.
"Danny?" asked Sam gently. He nodded, his crystalline blue eyes opening. "During the fight, you were bitten."
"By what?" he asked curiously, eyebrows raised.
Tucker couldn't say it. He just couldn't, he didn't want his best friend knowing that he would forever have a taste for blood. It didn't fit. "Danny…you'll find out. I can't be the one to tell you."
Sam slapped him upside the head, giving him a look that told him he was a total and utter dolt. Danny moaned again and she immediately attended to him.
"Look, I'll see you two tomorrow, I need to figure this out, okay?" said Danny, standing up. He seemed to be taller and a bit paler, his hair shinier in the slightest bit. He spotted a deep scratch in his arm as Sam and Tucker reluctantly headed for their homes. He, too, began for home, but stared at that cut.
Falling victim to temptation, he slid his first finger down the wound, savoring the smooth and comforting feeling he felt. The liquid felt so warm, so comforting on his skin. It looked delicious, and he couldn't resist tasting it. He knew it was a sick idea, but he just wanted to see what it would taste like. It seemed almost foreign to him now.
It was amazing! Like heaven! It tasted like all the best food he had ever eaten together with a slight hint of iron to it and as he licked his finger, he got the slightest bit of extra energy. It was then that he noticed what he was doing.
What's wrong with me?
It didn't make sense. A boy who loved blood. It didn't fit the pieces correctly, but he would have to deal. He'd done that with his ghost powers, he could do it again with vampire powers. How well, though, he didn't know.

Chapter 2: expect it right after I sketch my favorite scene…
Yes, I love this story a lot! I have a lot planned, but it's not going to be too long as far as I have it right now. But I hope you love it, because I sure do!
