Chapter 1

"A little ragged around the edges eh child" said Pariah sarcastically

"What do you say we ditch the snappy banter and get right to the part where I kick your butt" replied Danny determinedly

"Very well I accept your Terms" Pariah said seriously

Clockwork watched as Danny fought the ghost king saw as he outwitted and out fought Pariah by himself. He watched as he stuffed Pariah inside the coffin of forever sleep. "So, we are agreed" said a voice behind Clockwork

"We are" he replied

"When he turns sixteen he must take his rightful place" another voice said

"I will watch him and point him in the right direction" he told his guests

"I will go inform the brides family" one of the voices announced as the five figures left his tower

"For all is as it should be" he whispered to himself

As Raven and the others walked back into she thought of the fight with mumbo jumbo. "So, cyborg will you dance for us" said beast boy while holding up a pink tutu and smiling broadly. Cyborg's reply was to clock beast boy on top of the head "DON'T EVER MENTION THAT AGAIN!" cyborg yelled while Starfire tried to stop giggling and robin was smiling beast boy still held up the tutu while running deeper into the tower with cyborg chasing after him. "I'm going to bed" I told Starfire and robin

"okay friend raven sees you in the morning" replied Starfire

"goodnight raven" replied robin as he went and held Starfire's hand they were smiling at each other. As I walked into my room I went to my bed and started my meditation. "Well hello raven" said a voice from the far corner of the room I looked up quick my eyes widening I heard the mirror in my bathroom break as I stared at Slade with my father symbol on his mask "I bring a message from your father" he continued "How surprised I was when I found out who your dear old dad was"

"What does he want" I said as calmly as I could

"Oh, nothing much but its good news for you" he continued "On your sixteenth birthday in a few months your father will no longer use you as a portal"

"LIAR!" I yelled and there went my miniature statue of a dragon

"Oh I don't lie a ancient treaty has been called upon for Trigon to provide his daughter as a bride to the heir apparent of the infinite realms" I sucked in my breath as he continued "Trigon your father made this agreement with Pariah Dark to prevent his war like ways from infringing upon each other they made a treaty with ancient magic and power that when either fell and a heir apparent rose they would wed to the opposite gender of the other side" I listened to Slade as he spoke on and I thought of what this meant I knew of the infinite realm the monks of Azeroth had mentioned it and told us to stay away from it. It was the realm of ghosts filled with powerful beings the most powerful being Pariah Dark the king, but his tyranny was his downfall and centuries ago he was sealed away. "So, my father that wanted to use me as a portal now wants me to marry a ghost king against my will" I managed to growl out and the phoenix followed the dragon.

"Well your father would prefer for you to decline he doesn't need to worry about the new heir apparently he is more peaceful then Pariah oh and if you accept the portal thing will be delayed till your eighteenth birthday oh and you will spend the next year with your fiancée till he turns sixteen which is when you will be wed." Slade said all at once, but one thing caught my attention

"He's fifth teen?" I asked surprised a fifth teen year old ghost beat Pariah Dark.

"Yes, oh and half ghost half human if you want to know more about him accept the offer and go meet him" Slade said

"You seem to be pushing me to accept Slade what are you hiding?" I growled and there went my butterfly pin

"Hmm well if you decline some of the older ghosts in the infinite realm won't be happy and because of the way the treaty is written they will be released from their word to not invade the mortal realms. Which even isn't to much of a problem for your father the new heir can only do so much, and a lot of people could die" He said

"you don't care about people" I said but I did, and I thought of the may areas of the infinite realms the monks had labeled as territories of powerful ghosts and some had followers

"No, but I need time and two years just might be long enough and think of this you will be queen of the infinite realm you will have powerful beings on your side the treaty doesn't say they have to help Trigon and only the King cant declare war nothing is mentioned about the Queen" Slade said.

"But I don't want to leave" I said, and I didn't want to leave my friends I wouldn't admit it to anyone, but I cared about them

"That is up to you and the heir, but you don't have to decide tonight and before the wedding you can also decline talk to your friends and tell robin I said hi" Slade said before stepping back into the darkness and disappearing leaving me alone with my thoughts and worse my emotions

"This is my boyfriend Max" said Sam to Tucker and Danny while she was holding hands with young goth man who was slightly taller than her

"Nice to meet ya Max" Tucker replied with a strained voice and looked over at Danny worriedly

"Hi" was all Danny said he felt like a truck had hit him in the gut he had waited to long and now he had lost her

"Uh I got to go see ya all later" he said as he walked down the hall

"What's his problem" he heard Sam whisper to Tucker stupid super hearing. He walked as fast as he could to the bathroom went into a stall where he turned into Danny phantom. He turned himself intangible and invisible as he flew away from the school he didn't know where he was going but he knew he had to get away.

He thought about the summer how the ghost attacks had been slowing down and how he was changing. He went through a growth spirt that seemed to last the whole summer at the end of it he came out 6'1. Then he did something he should have done earlier he had asked his mom to train him and she did so happily and very seriously. He regretted it almost instantly but at the end of summer he had gained some muscle and gym wasn't as hard anymore. He even changed hi wardrobe okay to be fair he just wore a dark green shirt and black jacket but hey it was different, and Sam liked it. But Sam had a boyfriend now Danny went to the tallest building around and sat on the ledge thinking and hurting.
