Hey, everyone. Sorry for the long wait. Been busy with my other stories and school. Anyway Danny Phantom doesn't belong to me and here's Chapter #2.

Chapter #2 Raven's Story and Danny's Missions

A few days later, no one has heard from Selene. At first they assume it was pressure from the heavy homework load the teachers were giving but after the third day, everyone started to worry a little. Mr. Lancer and the Fentons were worried the most. Since they know Selene is part ghost she wouldn't want to talk to them. So, Mr. Lancer called Danny and his friends, Tucker Foley and Sam Manson, after school.

"You want us to what?" Sam asked, after Mr. Lancer finished explaining why they were called in.

"I want you to try and see what's bothering Selene." Mr. Lancer repeated. "She's been quiet and moody lately and I can't get an answer out of her. So, I thought you three could."

"You're wasting time, Mr. Lancer." Sam said. "Selene won't talk to us either."

"Believe us we tried." Tucker added. "She just said nothing was wrong and disappeared."

"I see." Mr. Lancer said, listening carefully. "Well, Danny as you might have known. Raven is coming to spend time with Selene during the holidays. I'll talk to him and see if he knows what's wrong. In the meantime, I want you three to watch her. I don't want her to hurt herself."

"Alright, Mr. Lancer." Danny said as he and his friends stood up.

Once the trio left the office and their teacher was out of earshot, Sam said.

"Can you believe him? Trying to get us to ask Selene what's wrong with her? What's makes him think we can get her to talk?"

"He's just concerned about her, Sam." Danny said. "He is her godfather, remember."

"Did Raven say anything when he said he was coming here?" Tucker asked.

"No, only that he's finished his classes and is spending his Christmas break here so he can spend time with Selene." Danny replied.

"Maybe you should asked him what's up with Selene." Sam suggested. "He's known her longer then we have."

"He's coming today." Danny said. "I'll asked him. See you guys tomorrow."

"Yeah, see ya, man."

"Bye, Danny."

Once the trio left Casper High. Danny went left to the Fentonworks while his friends went the other way to the mall. Once he got home, he saw a taxi parked outside his house and a man in his mid-twenties got out. He smiled when he saw Danny.

"Hey Danny." He greeted. "Long time, no see."

"Hey, Raven." Danny said without enthusiasm.

Raven's smiled disappeared. "What's wrong?" he asked as he grabbed his suitcase and paid the driver.

"Nothing." he said as he climbed the steps.

That night, dinner was quiet again as it was since the beginning of December. Selene was in her room and no one talked much while eating until Jazz spoke up.

"Uh, Raven. Has Selene talked to you at all?"

Raven looked up from his stew and shook his head. "No, she doesn't talk much this time of year."

Everyone stared at him. "You're not concerned about this?" Maddie asked.

'No. As long as she doesn't hurt herself. Which she hasn't."

"How do you know that?" Jack asked.

"I make sure she doesn't keep sharp objects or anything she can use to hurt herself with in her room or in her school bag." Raven said.

"You search her room?" Danny asked.

"There are times I have to, since she won't tell me anything."

"Why is she like this? Everyone is worried about her."

Raven sighed then said. "She's been like this since mom and dad died years ago..."

Flashback

Twenty-year-old Raven Strong walked into his apartment and closed the door behind him. Soaked to the bone and tired. He just got off work and was glad to be home. He threw his keys on the coffee table and his bag on the couch before he collapsed onto a nearby chair. He was about to closed his eyes for a minute before he realized someone else lives with him too. His little sister Selene.

"Hey, Selene. I'm home." he called. But there was no answer.

"Selene?"

No answer.

He got up and went across the room, down the small corridor to Selene's room. Which was next to his. He knocked on the door. No answer. He shook his head as if to say I don't want to do this but I have to. He placed his hand on the knob and turned. As he opened the door he saw the room with empty. His sister was no where in sight.

Raven started to panic when his eyes fell on a drawing on the bed. He reached over, grabbed it and looked at it. It was a picture of a girl that looked like Selene embracing what looked like stones in the ground. The stones had the names Gene and Wendy on them.

Gene and Wendy? Raven's eyes widened. That's their parents names. She's gone to the cemetery! He ran out of the room, grabbed his keys and went out the door.

He drove as fast as he could until he reached the cemetery were his and Selene's parents were buried and got out. He saw the gate was still opened. He ran into the cemetery and ran until he reached the graves of Gene and Wendy Strong. Just as he thought, he found his ten-year-old sister lying on the ground between the two graves, her arms stretched out on the base of both tombstones as if to hug them.

Raven looked at her with pity and sadness. He knew why Selene was here. This was their first Christmas since their parents' death and Selene's kiddnapping and she wasn't taking well. He quietly walked over and gently picked her up in his arms. He looked down at her pale face and black clothes. Even though it's almost Christmas, Selene only wore black and white clothes. Making her stand out more like a ghost or vampire. Vampire. Raven grinned at the thought as he carried his sister back to the car. What a stupid thought. There's no such thing. He placed Selene in the backseat, got in the car and drove home.

End flashback

"...but that was before that Blaine bastard tried to make her his bride." Raven said. he finished the last part with anger. He could never forget the day he and the others were kidnapped and taken to the outskirts of Amity park and were forced to witness a vampiric wedding between the vampire clans' leader and his little sister. If it weren't for Danny, Selene and the help of some ghosts. His sister would've became the new queen of the vampire clan. He shuddered at the thought.

"Did she say why she was there?" Jazz asked, little freaked out at the thought of falling asleep in a cememtery.

"She didn't say why." Raven answered. "Only she wanted them back. I want them back too but there's nothing we can do. They're dead."

Everyone nodded in agreement. The murders of the Strongs and Selene's kidnapping was all over the news five years ago. Everyone was surprised when the youngest Strong was found alive in a ditch outside of Ottawa. No one knew how she got there or where she's been. Since then Selene was unhappy child, dresses in black and white and never get involve with anything. Not even friends or a boyfriend until her brother signed her up for the exchange program at her high school. She was doing well until now.

"It be nice if I could do something to cheer her up." Danny thought. "Maybe there is a way."

He excused himself from the table and went upstairs to his room.

"I swear I'll have Selene's Christmas Spirit restored by the 25th. But I'll need some help."

Ok, Danny has a plan to cheer Selene up for the holidays. What his plan. Stay tune for the next few chapters of White and Blue Christmas.
