Oh my gosh! Ya'll are the sweetest! I didn't think that any one would review! Much less add me to alerts and favs! Well I am going to get right to the second chapter, and just for those of you who were wondering, this is not a one shot, it will be a story with chapters. :D
Chapter 2
"Sam you just don't understand the sophistication of meat!" Tucker declared.
"Oh yes, because devouring the flesh of living animals is the pinnacle of sophistication!" Sam screamed.
"Guys! This is serious! I really think that my mom knows my secret!" Today had not gone well, Mr. Lancer decided to give a pop quiz on Hamlet and lets just say that I didn't get to read Hamlet. This is because a certain hunting obsessed ghost had gotten out of the ghost zone, and to make things better he brought his favorite "toy".
Sulkers' gadgets aren't usually a big deal; just dodge the large flying blades, but somehow he had gotten his hands on something like two mace heads tied together with a chain. Now normally this wouldn't be that hard to avoid, except that it had a "ghost child" tracker on it (which is something like a heat tracer), and the best part is that when it does make contact; you get 200 volts of electricity flowing through you.
"Well dude, how do you know that she knows? I mean your mom is smart and all, but she doesn't look like she thinks any thing's up," uttered Tucker.
"That's what I thought too Tuck, but last night my dad was grilling me about not doing my chores, and my mom came in and told him that I've been working really hard on a project for school."
Well, she might have been confusing you and Jazz; she always has some type of project she's doing." interjected Sam
"That's what I thought too, until she looked at me." I didn't realize how lame that sounded until it was out of my mouth.
"Umm Danny, most parents do look at their kids every once and a while; mine look at me every morning and then tell me 'how adorable I would look in that pink skirt we got you last week.' uggh" Sam was one of my best friends but her parents seriously creep me out.
"You didn't see this look; it was like she was begging me to tell her what was wrong. I almost said my secret right then."
"But you didn't did you?" I swear the look on Tuckers face became dead serious.
"No, Jazz hauled me up stairs before I could even open my mouth. Which reminds me, I think my mom is the one that is patching me up every night too."
"But I thought you said that Jazz was doing that?" it looked like Sam was just as worried as I was.
"Yeh that's what I thought, but when I asked Jazz about it this morning she looked at me like I was crazy and said that she only patches me up when I go to her and ask for it. Then something really weird happened, when I looked up, my mom was almost as pale as…well, me. When I asked her what was wrong she just said, "Gotta go" and ran off." Just as that came out of my mouth there was a huge crash and screaming.
"I have you now ghost child!"
"Today is not my day."
What Daniel Fenton didn't know, is that today was the day his life would be changed forever. And those in charge of that change were the Council of Elders, the very first ghosts, ever. The first was Clock Work, most people knew him as father time; he controlled the flow of time. Then came the Grim Reaper, who controlled all destruction; Then Dianne who was the creator of all things.
This council was led by Clock Work, only because he was the only one who could see the twists and turns of time, unlike the observants, and make the correct decision on what to do.
"Clock Work! We must act now!" screamed Grim
"Believe it or not, I am siding with Grim on this one," declared Dianne, but before any one could say any thing else the Grim Reaper decided it was his turn to speak.
"You can't protect him any more Clock Work! The prophecy must be set in motion! This is our last chance to start the events that must take place, and you don't want to scare him! This is our future-"
"Enough" even though Clock Work spoke as if he was discussing the weather, it had the desired effect. "We can't set anything in motion if Danny isn't ready to handle it, it could be worse than not invoking the prophecy at all."
"But Clock Work," interjected the musical voice of Dianne, "this is our last chance, if he isn't ready now, he never will be." Even though her voice was soft, it had an impact which was like being doused in cold water. In Clock Works' mind he was thinking of all the ways that he could get Danny out of his impending fate, so he wouldn't have to deal with what is to come. He came up with nothing.
"Grim, Dianne," the sober tone that Clock Work used was enough to do my tell them that he had made his decision, "go start the phrophecy, I'll be waiting to clue in his parents, Just keep in mind that he's still a teenager."
"I know it's hard Tick-Tock," Dianne was using her pet name for Clock Work she had made up almost a millennia ago, "but you have to trust him, he'll know what to do."
"He better," exclaimed Grim. As Dianne saw the downcast expression on Clock Works face she decided that it was time to let him brood and have him do his part later,
"Come on Grumpy," snapped Dianne, "we got work to do!"
As the other two elders left, Clock Work paused to think about the fact that the only one that looked like and elder was Grim, and sometimes himself, but Dianne looked like a twenty-year old goddess. She was young, beautiful, sweet, and compassionate; while Grim was serious, short tempered, and well…a skeleton. Clock Work on the other hand, was a mix of both: he was both young and old, he was social when need be, and there are only two ghosts that have ever seen him loose his temper, both being the other two elders.
Though what Clock Work pondered most was the fact that beyond the other two elders, he never really cared what happened to the other ghosts. Don't get me wrong, he wanted every one to be happy; but if one person's happiness was to be sacrificed for the greater good, so be it. But now, after all this time, he found himself worry about Daniel, he even postponed the prophecy because he didn't want to set something in motion that would make Daniels' life even more complicated.
Dianne and Grim were the first to realize that he held Daniel in a special place, but the other were not far behind. In fact, it was pretty common knowledge that the controller of all time was very protective of Danny. And once, when Danny came to the ghost zone just to see him, they ended up playing checkers and talking like old buddies, Clock Work couldn't remember the last time that someone had come to him just to "hang out".
As Clock Work thought of Danny and all that was to come; he whispered into the open air, "Be safe Danny, you know what you have to do."
After that the time ghost disappeared, but the events that were going to change the world, they were just beginning.
