Pain

by KelciLynn

Everything about Dan Phantom reeked of power. He could, and would, destroy almost anything. Yet, there was one thing he knew he'd never hurt, though he hated to admit it. He was weak, and it was all because of her. He knew very well what he'd done, and though it changed him, he had no regrets.

Pain

A/N: Here's a prologue of my new story. Hope you guys like it. Review and let me know.

Overview POV:

He saw the anger on Vlad's face as he realized that his nearly perfect clone was a girl. He knew what would happen, what was supposed to happen. The little girl was supposed to be terminated; Dan knew that, yet he couldn't stop himself from going over to peer into the chamber. Clockwork had warned him that what he saw might change him, but Dan didn't listen.

The little girl was helpless, oblivious...innocent. And for whatever reason, Dan couldn't stand the idea of him destroying her. How could anyone destroy something so perfect? So precious? He simply couldn't let it happen. Before he realized what he was doing, he'd overshadowed Vlad and stopped it. He'd altered everything, though he didn't realize it at the time.

After all, it's hard to focus on the one good thing you did when you're busy doing evil...
