Torn Decisions

Danny Phantom Fanficton

Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom, or a falcon but you rub that in my face too…

Hey everybody! Part 2 if anybody is even reading it… Sorry Chapter 1 was so short but I tried. I'm implementing Scarlett is this chapter, a freak of ectoplasm and a dark side, which you'll see soon. Please do leave a review; I'll mention the top 3 reviews next chapter. Constructive criticism is important.

Danny: Can we hurry up, I feel like I'm in Nocturne's dream realm. Still sleeping, still sleeping, still sleeping...

Me: Sorry…

Chapter 2 Danny's POV

I tried to eat my breakfast as fast as I could, I didn't want mum and/or dad to start the conversation from last night again. Jazz offered to drive me to school, that usually meant she wanted to talk. I got in the car and we headed off.

"Mum and dad are worried that you're doing something like drugs…"

"WHERE THE HELL DID THAT COME FROM?"

"Maybe the fact you seem very distant to them. You don't talk to them, your usually home late and your grades are dropping."

"So I'm out fighting ghost and mum and dad think I'm taking drugs?"

"They don't know what to think Danny! They don't have a clue of what you're doing, how are they supposed to react when their son keeps vanishing from home, comes home late and his grades are dropping?" I could tell Jazz was annoyed.

"I'm sorry Jazz…"

She signed" Don't say sorry to me Danny, I just don't know how long I can keep covering for you without making sound like you're a half-ghost hybrid."

It was third period and the conversation Jazz and I had was still tugging in the back of my mind.

"Danny you seem unfocused?" Sam seemed quite distressed.

"Yea what's on your mind?" Tucker seemed distressed too.

"Jazz and I had a conversation on the way to school. My parents think I'm doing drugs of some crap like that. I don't want to tell about Phantom but I don't want them to think 'I'm the runt of the litter', what am I supposed to do?"

"Whoa dude, that's quite heavy subject to have in your mind all day." Tell me about it…

"You better talk to them Danny, you don't have to tell them about Phantom but you need to show them that your still you."

Great now Sam sounds like Jazz.

"I guess so."

Molecule by Molecule…

We dropped the subject and waited for Mr. Lancer to come in.

Scarlett's POV

It was cold and dark or was it? I think it is but I feel numb and can't really tell. I could tell it was dark, very dark, were my eyes shut? Oh yes they were… It was still fairly dark, there was a light source ahead. I lumbered into the light, I was in a cave looking down at a town.

Welcome to Amity Park.

"Who is this?"

I'm in your head. Do you remember anything?

"I-I remember… Scarlett… Is that m-my name?"

Yes

"Ok, ok. What am I doing here?"

Going to school. I will only speak to you when you need information about your-self, understood? Also there are other voices but they aren't very… organised, they will come when I leave"

"Ok…"

Just go to Casper High your locker is 703, the key is in your pocket. Books and stationary are in the locker. Now for a test run.

"Not that I don't appreciate what you're doing Mr. Head voice but what kind of test?"

One to see whether your powers still work.

"Powers, am I a… Superhero?! It's a bird, it's a plane no it's Scarlett… That doesn't sound right…"

No… You are the 'Torn One'.

"Torn One? No mean to be rude but that's a crap name…"

*Sigh* It isn't a name it's a title.

"So what can I do? Fly?, Lasers?, X-ray vision?"

You can fly and shoot ghost rays, there are a few others let me lay it out for you.

"This sounds boring…"

Then the voice mumbled something about time and competence.

It took a while for the voice to explain it all, a bit more than a day. It was Sunday night and all I wanted to do was sleep. The voice had filled my head with names, location and more.

Now listen, this is most important. Try not to lose your temper.

"Why?"

Because your dark side will rise, it is a last resort when you are weak, it could save your life but, it's hardest to control when you're mad.

"This 'dark side' can I use it when I don't lose my temper?"

I was getting to that... The dark side can be summoned at will, you won't have complete control over it unless you are weak and it emerges to keep you alive.

Don't let anybody see you change into your ghost or dark side.

"Are you done yet? I'm really tired."

I believe so, last thing. When I leave and the voices come back you will have an erratic thinking pattern.

"Why should I care?"

Because you might not be like you are now.

"Ummmm… I don't really understand. What do you mean"

You are in control but the other voices will try to give you their thoughts this confuses the host, A.K.A you.

"Ok then… how do I stop it?" The voice chuckled.

You can't, only the dark side has enough power to silence them. Your ghost self will try harder that your human self-thou. Goodbye Scarlett, Auf Wiedersehen Torn One.

"Wait I- AHHHHHHHH" I fell to the ground holding my head.

Whispers from every direction came flooding towards me ringing in my ears. The whispers came in pulses, some worse than others. A loud, bellowing roar came from nowhere and the voices were silenced, all I heard was…

Let her sleep...

Danny's POV

Mr. Lancer came in and a cold wisp trailed out of my mouth.

"Crap not now…"

Sam and Tucker looked at me and tensed, they knew a ghost was close by and reached for their bags.

"Students this is Scarlett and she is your new class mate. You will all be kind towards her and comfort her when she needs it."

I raised my hand to execute the classic 'may I got to the bathroom' excuse.

*Sigh* "Yes Daniel."

"May I be excused?"

"Fine, but be quick."

I ran down the hall into the boys toilets, entered a stall and said my battle cry. "I'm going ghost!" Familiar blue rings spread across my body and the white and black hazmat suit now covered my body. My black hair turned a snow white colour and my blue eyes turned a glowing, neon green colour.

I phased through the wall and searched for the ghost.

"Where are you?" Silence... It must have been a false alarm, I phased back into the toilets and let the rings change me back into Danny Fenton. I stayed on high alert until lunch.

At lunch the new girl was mobbed by all the different groups, jocks, gossipers and nerds, alike. She had black hair that went just past her ears, like Sam but she had red highlights that gave the bottom of the hair look sharp and spiky. Her eyes were a light, wispy blue colour. She wore black leggings and a black short sleave with icy-cyan rims and collar.

Something is wrong with her…

She just stood there scanning the crowd, looking for something… She pushed through the crowd and came towards us.

"Excuse me, may I sit with you?"

Say no, something isn't right, say no.

"Sure!" Tucker said moving over allowing her to sit next to him.

"Thank you" Her eyes flickered around with an unreadable expression.

"So why sit here? You could have been Miss. Popular, were the outs casts if you haven't noticed." Sam said with slight sarcasm.

"N-no, their aura doesn't seem right... N-no I-I don't fit. This is fine."

"Enjoy social suicide" Sam said going back to her food.

The little voice in the back of my head was right, something was wrong with her.

Scarlett's POV

The week went past at an antiquate pace, did it? I couldn't tell. There are so many of them, one said it went fast and another said it went slowly.

Let's go back to the cave…

Let's go swimming…

We need to finish our work…

Who needs work?...

They just jumble into a slurred mass of words.

I need help, who would, could help me? Something the master of the voices said… A name… Where is it, where is it, WHERE IS IT?!"

Names, names, names… Vlad? No that isn't it. Walker, Nocturne? Neither of those… Valerie, Skulker, Ember, Dash, Star, Desiree? No, no ,NO! A, b, c, d, e, f… P?

Phantom? Yes and he was… Fenton, Danny Fenton!

I needed to get to the Fenton house hold.

I felt for warmth within my abdomen. Orange rings formed at my waist, split, spread up and down my body. Black hair to white, red highlights to purple. Pale blue eyes to orange with wisps of purple within them. Black clothing to a dark crimson jump-suit with white running down the sides, white gloves encased my hands.

I leapt into the air and flew to Fenton Works.

Danny can help me, us, me... Right?

I hope you enjoyed chapter2 … I'm going to leave you with a cliffy. I got a migraine from typing so long. I love you guys!

Now I'm going to go fix my brain with drugs (Panadol). I need to start chapter 3 now BIA!
