Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.
– Lance Armstrong
Chapter 1: Pain is only a feeling
Have you ever felt pain? True pain? The kind that makes you suffer until you feel like you are going die? For me the feeling is constant. It never goes away. It follows me everywhere I go and leaves me to bleed and die. But no matter how hard pain comes at me, I manage to survive.
I've lived in pain for ten years. Ten years that have all been filled with the same thing. Hatred, despair, anger, sadness, and of course…pain. No matter what I did in life…I could never be happy. I was a freak and a loner. An outcast in society where not even my one closest friend wanted to be near me.
I fought off countless bad guys and defeated life threatening evil. But it was all for nothing. No one thanked me. No one was grateful for what I did. I was only scorned and judged because of what I was…but that was only half of me.
I'm Daniel James Fenton. But yet I am also Danny Phantom. If I had friends, they would call me Danny. But yet no one knew I was Danny Phantom. No one ever knew and I bet they wouldn't care.
I looked out from the top of the roof. I often sit on the roof of my house and gaze at the stars. My stars. My stars that have faults in them. My stars that don't shine as bright as they did before. My stars that make me wish a dozen times but refuse to grant me any of them. My stars that keep me hoping and praying. My stars…my stars alone.
As I looked at them and named the constellations, I began to wonder…why anyone hasn't liked me. What made me so different from them? What made me the outcast? The freak? The cursed one? Why was I alone chosen to be this way? I didn't understand what I was meant for. I couldn't comprehend the fact that I was given these abnormal abilities. I sighed and looked up once more.
"Why?" I croaked out, "What made me so different? Why did you choose me?" I asked out loud. But I got no response. Just the soft chirping of the crickets from below and the buzzing of cicadas and the rustling of leaves. I sighed as more tears slid down my cheek. I raised my right hand and created a green beam. I scowled at it. The beam grew brighter as I felt my anger flare. Then…I noticed something. For the very first time, I noticed that my beam held a dim red color at the bottom of it. It wasn't too noticeable…but it did alarm me. I gasped and lost concentration. The beam dispersed into nothingness and disappeared before my eyes. Never had I seen my beams turn colors. What could it mean? Was I becoming more powerful? Was it a good sign? Or was it a bad sign?
Shaking my head I groaned in annoyance. I didn't understand me anymore. I couldn't understand what I was becoming. My body was just changing so fast that I couldn't get a grip on myself.
I remember one thing that I had always wanted…it was love. I only wanted to be loved and accepted. I wanted someone to love both sides of me. To think of me as a hero and to not be afraid of me…but that is only a dream. This is real life. Not a fairy tale. With a sad sigh I floated up and phased through my roof and into my room. I went to bed and flopped down on it. Who was I trying to fool anyways? Freaks like me don't get the girls. All we get is a life full of pain.
But the funny thing is…pain is only a feeling…nothing more…nothing less…
