I do not own Danny Phantom

Me: So, I got bored of studying for my first exam, and decided to work on this story some more. For those of you waiting on Battle of Wills, Give me a week before I get yelled at or have angry mobs at my door.

Brightshadow: Hey, you're supposed to pay attention to me, not some freaky half dead kid!

Danny: *pops up out of nowhere, ecto-blasts Brightshadow then disappears*

Me: I think that's my cue to ignore you and write, Bright. Maybe don't antagonize the 'freaky half dead kid'. Danny's costume is not my idea; it's from an author by the name of jadedbluerose. If you like Danny Phantom, you should read one of her stories, Just Another Meteor Freak She has a better description of his new outfit too. Anyways….here's the next chapter. This chapter is dedicated to you Bluerose! (Oh and Danny is probably really OOC, I'm pretty bad about that -.-)

Danny's PoV

I shivered. Ever since I had arrived in Creekwood, my ice powers have been acting up. Thinking back over the past few weeks, I remember the horrible journey up, then having to find somewhere I could stay and get a job. Because of my ghost powers, I was ageless, and would always look 14, the age I was when I got them. Every now and then I would create a temporary portal to the ghost zone (new power I received not long after leaving Amity) to go visit friends I had. I grimaced as I remembered a recent visit to Dora. She had insisted on me changing my outfit, so as not to be recognized too quickly in my new 'haunt' as she called it. My new outfit consisted of loose-fitting black pants, a black tunic with my insignia in silver above my heart, and white combat boots. My gloves were silvery-white fingerless gloves, and I also now had a hooded silvery-white hooded cloak fastened by an emerald stone.

I looked up when I heard a scream from a nearby alley. Dashing for the mouth of the alley, I pulled my sweaters hood up on the way. Stopping, I saw a woman at the other end of the alley, frantically trying to get away from two guys, each holding one of her arms. Concentrating, I madew the air around them colder and froze the pavement beneath their feet. Noticing how cold it got, they looked to the mouth of the alley, where I stepped out of the shadows.

"Leave her alone" I growled out.

Instead, one of them held her while the other came towards me, pulling a knife.

"Get out of here unless you want to get hurt kid. Learn like the rest of the city that this town belongs to the Spirit Theives."

I looked at him for a few seconds, before bursting out laughing.

"Oh man, you have no idea how cheesy and ironic that name is!"

I immediately sobered up when he thrust the knife towards me. I grabbed his hand mid-swing and glared at him from beneath my hood. From the look on his face, I had a pretty good feeling that my eyes were glowing neon-green in anger.

"Here's your choice. Leave the girl alone and I won't beat the crap out of you. Stay….well, I can't make any promises not to put you in the hospital."

The guy I was holding looked nervously at his partner, who just laughed. He let go of the girl, but instead of letting her come towards me, he pushed her behind him and advanced, with HIS knife drawn. I sighed, then shoved the guy I was holding into his partner. I waited at the mouth of the alley in a defensive position, then made the 'bring it' sign.

Mugger's PoV

I got up slowly from on top of my partner. He might be willing to fight this kid, but I didn't want to stick around. Especially not after what just happened. The kid had a grip like iron and his eyes…I shuddered, trying not to recall them. No normal human has neon-green eyes…ESPECIALLY not ones that glow!

"Dude, I'm not fighting that kid. He is NOT normal, his eyes friggen glow! You may be suicidal, but I'm out of here! Have fun fighting the freak yourself."

I dashed for the mouth of the alley, watching as the kid tensed up when I got close to him. Seeing me run past, he relaxed a bit, but I kept running. I didn't want to stick around for whatever he's going to do to my partner.

Danny's PoV

Turning back to the last guy in the alley, I spoke.

"Your friend has the right idea. Just think, is it really worth it? One last chance to get out of here."

The guy just scowled, then ran at me, knife swinging. Moving quickly, I grabbed his wrist and hit a pressure point, making him drop the knife. I twisted his arm behind his back and kneed him in the stomach, then elbowed him in the head while he was hunched over. I heard him hit the ground of the alley with a thud. I checked him over, then once I was satisfied he was unconscious, I turned back to the girl.

"Are you alright? This guys no harm, he's unconscious. Won't be waking up for awhile, if I hit him as hard as I think I did. Can I get your name?"

Mystery girl's PoV

I sat there trembling, still stunned from what had happened. The boy had taken out the muggers like he did it everyday. I had heard the two talking too, one of them mentioned that the kid's eyes glowed green. Looking up, I scooted backwards as fast as I could. The kid had been standing over me. I didn't even hear him move. I stopped moving and looked him over. He had pulled his hoodie down, so I could see the ice-blue eyes peering out at me from beneath messy black bangs. He was wearing blue jeans, and the hoodie was red, with black writing that said 'You want to live? Don't talk to me'. I could see the worry in his eyes, then I realized I hadn't answered him.

"Oh sorry…it's Nicole, but my friends call me Nicky."

He looked at me and chuckled.

"Danny…look, seeing as you're alright, I'll just get going."

I panicked, and tried to get him to answer some questions.

"Look, are you sure they won't come back? Do you have somewhere to stay for the night? You look like you're living wherever you can find an empty doorway."

I could see the shock in his eyes. Obviously, no one had cared about him much before.

"Look, my parents wouldn't mind. We have a spare room, and they couldn't stand seeing someone your age alone on the streets."

He opened his mouth then closed it again, speechless.

Danny's PoV

I stared at Nicky, speechless. Ever since I left Amity, I had been pushed out of everywhere I had tried to rest, whether I was just trying to take a break or sleep for the night. Since I still couldn't form any coherent words, I nodded and followed her down the street. 'Maybe I should stick around in Creekwood for awhile…just until I'm not welcome anymore'.

Me: Yay all done the chapter! Nothing to do at lunchtime or in the morning = faster updates. R&R, new chapter will be up soon.
