Chapter 1
16 year old Daniel Masters was lying on his bed staring at the ceiling. He was grounded…again. This was his 23rd try at finding some girl to marry him and rule Amity with him. His father, Vlad, was losing hope that they would ever find someone the suited his son. Daniel turned his head towards his computer. He knew that his father told him he wasn't allowed on it, but since when did he care what his father told him? His father was a nutcase!
Daniel swung his feet over so that he was sitting up. He stood up and sat down at his computer chair. He was about to turn the computer on and play some computer games when his father knocked on the door. Daniel jumped up from the chair and ran and jumped back on his bed.
"Come in!" he yelled at the door.
Vlad opened the door and sat on his son's bed looking down at him. He had a look on his face that Daniel knew wasn't a good thing. He had only seen that face a few times and it probably meant that his father did something that was in his best intentions but he wasn't going to like it.
"Daniel, you can't keep turning down every maiden that walks through the door" his father said sternly. All Daniel did was grumble something he couldn't hear.
"That is why I had no choice but to set you up with that Manson girl you met a few months ago" Vlad said to his son. Daniel looked at him for second before his eyes widened a tad.
"What do you mean 'set me up with'?" he asked dreading the answer that he knew he wouldn't like.
"Within the next three months you will be spending time in the Manson household learning to be a suitable husband for Cassandra" Vlad said knowing that yelling was soon to come.
"Husband! I'm getting married?!" Daniel yelled at his father.
"I had no choice but to do it, Daniel" he said ignoring the anger radiating from his son.
"An arranged marriage?" Daniel asked slowly. His father nodded before standing up and walking to the door. He turned around to look at Daniel.
"You leave tomorrow morning" he told his son before leaving the room.
Daniel groaned and kicked his bed post. His father really was a nutcase.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Daniel was in his room packing his clothes and belongings he would need for the next THREE MONTHS! His father had completely lost his mind. He shoved the rest of his clothes in his suitcase. He groaned in frustration when it didn't close. He pulled it to the ground and sat on the top. He zipped it shut and then stood back up.
A knock came form the door, before Vlad walked in holding a Plasmius Thermos. He threw it at his son, who caught it easily.
"You might need that" he told his son, before disappearing out the door.
Daniel threw the thermos back and forth in his hands. Daniel had been learning to hunt ghosts ever since he was able to walk. Daniel had also been half ghost ever since he was born. His father who was also half ghost told that he had inherited his ghost powers from him. When Daniel wasn't on dates or trying to fund a suitable wife, he was in his father's lab training.
Daniel was getting as good as father. He even had a power that his father didn't have. His Ghostly Wail. His father always helped him get better and better with his powers. Although sometimes it almost seemed like his father was only training him hard enough so that he never would be as good as his father.
"Daniel! What in the world are you doing up there?" His father yelled from downstairs.
"I'm coming! " He yelled back annoyed. He could take as long as he wanted.
Daniel grabbed his luggage and carried it down the steps towards the front door. He walked over to the limo that would take him to the Manson Mansion. The limo driver helped Daniel put his luggage in the trunk. Once everything was in, he slammed it shut and went to open the door for Daniel. Daniel nodded thanks and climbed inside the limo.
Vlad motioned for Daniel to roll down the window. Daniel did as he was told.
"If I find out that you are purposely misbehaving to try and get Cassandra to cancel off the wedding, you are done for!" Vlad yelled at him from the door.
Daniel grumbled something inaudible. He rolled his window back up and watched as his father motioned for the driver to leave. The limo driver drove forward through the gates that led to the outside world.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
That drive seemed longer than it probably was. Daniel had already met Cassandra Manson and she was just like the others. A snobby, big-headed twit who only cared about becoming the next ruler of Amity. All she did was talk about herself and about how good of a queen she would make. She had also tried flirting with him numerous times.
Although she was nothing like Valerie Grey, who almost made Daniel to afraid to break up with her thinking she might try to ill him in his sleep, he had never made any intentions of marrying that low-down witch. He leaned his head against the window and shit his eyes for a moment, before sleep overtook him.
He felt two hands shaking him gently. He opened his eyes slightly to find the limo driver trying to wake him. Daniel opened his eyes all the way to find that they were parked in front of the Manson Mansion. Daniel stared at the big white house before groaning again and stepping out of the car. He looked up at it and then at the doors.
'Let's get this over with' he thought to himself.
He followed the limo driver up the steps that led to the big red front doors. The butler rang the doorbell. Daniel could hear it echo through the entire house. There was silence before the doors opened to reveal a woman in a pink dress. She had auburn hair and a very thin waist. She smiled and clapped her hands together.
"Oh! You're here!" She said still beaming. "I was getting worried"
She pulled them inside and shut the door. A maid came and took their coats. They followed the perky woman to a huge living room and old them to sit down before she left.
Daniel sat on a chair near the lit fireplace. He looked around the house before glancing up the stairs. His eyes fell on a door with a sign that said 'DO NOT ENTER', it had a skull and crossbones on it and was painted black.
"Daniel, so good to see you again" said a voice that he had once hoped he would never hear again.
Daniel turned his head to see the one and only Cassandra Manson. She was in a long sleeved blue gown that was puffy and had lots and lots of frills and ruffles. She wore watching blue gloves and a large hat with blue flowers on the top. Her long auburn hair was in a braid and she was wearing a bit too much makeup.
"You to, Cassandra" he said with no emotion.
"So, you finally realized that breaking up with me was a mistake" She said not caring that he seemed to ignore her.
Cassandra walked over to him and stuck out her gloved hand. Reluctantly he grabbed her hand and kissed it. She smiled and walked back over to her mother. She whispered something in her mother's ear which caused the preppy woman's smile to grow even larger.
"What a wonderful idea Cassandra!" she said overly perky "Daniel?" she asked
Daniel turned his head to look at her. "Cassandra is going to give you a tour of the mansion, aright?" she asked him. He nodded.
"Splendid!" she said shuffling her tiny feet while walking towards the stairs "If you need me I'll be in the library"
Cassandra watched as her mother walked up the stairs and down the hall. She took Daniel's hand and led him upstairs. They walked together through the long hallway. She was babbling something about how she couldn't decide what to wear this morning and how the butler made her orange juice instead of apple juice.
'What a spoiled brat' Daniel thought as he watched her lips moving but hearing no sound come from them.
Daniel stopped when he noticed the black painted door he had spotted earlier. Cassandra noticed him stop and walked over to him. Daniel could hear music coming from the other side of the door, but it sounded more like heavy rock music then classical like he expected. Cassandra noticed he was staring at the door.
"It's just my crazy stepsister listening to her horrible music collection" Cassandra said with slight venom in her voice.
"You have a stepsister?" he asked her. She slowly nodded her head, before turning around and walking down the hallway once again. She stopped for a moment and turned to look at him.
"Feel free to look around, your room is down the other side of this hall" she stated before turning back around and continued to walk down the hallway.
Daniel started wondering for a brief moment if he did something wrong, but immediately pushed it aside and enjoyed the time he had to himself. He had only been walking for a few seconds when he felt a hand grab him and yank him inside a closet. He looked around the dark room confused.
He spotted the door and was about get up and leave when the lights inside the closet turned on. He heard someone cough and turned his head around slowly to be met with two beautiful violet eyes.
