Hello every one im sorry for the late update. But im sure it will be worth it. so without further ado here is the second chapter of bonded. I do not own Danny phantom.

Chapter 2.

Ember looked over to see Danny walked in with clockwork by his side. Her stomach flipped as she remembered what had happened a few hours ago. "hey dipstick." Ember said as Danny took a seat next to her. "no hit wonder." Danny said smirking. Ember elbowed him in the ribs. The observants and clockwork took a seat leaving the two in the middle of the room. "welcome Danny phantom and Ember mclain." The lead observant said eyeing at the two. Danny looked at them and spoke up. "why are we here we didn't do anything wrong did we?" he asked.

Clockwork spoke up. "no Danny you and ember did not do anything wrong." Embers hair flared up. "then why the heck are we here?" she said angrily. Danny could easily tell she didn't want to be there. "ember mclain the acts of you and Danny have unlocked one of the ancient laws of the ghost zone." Clockwork spoke. Danny looked at clockwork with a confusing stare. "I thought you said we weren't in any trouble clockwork." Danny said. clockwork looked at his apprentice with a smile. "and you aren't Danny." He said as he looked up. Danny and Ember looked up as well only to have a look of shock on both of their faces. A giant black book with a black star and strange symbols floated down towards the center in the middle of the room.

Danny and Ember looked at each other and then to clockwork who floated to the book opening it. "these are the ancient laws and rules of the ghost zone." He said looking at the two teens. He looked over at an older ghost now floating next to him. Danny was puzzled at the older ghost seeing at once he bared a striking resemblance to clockwork. Ember gasped. "that's clockworks grandfather." She said in shock. Danny followed embers gaze and also stood there in shock. The older gentleman looked at the two young ghosts with a stare.

"Danny phantom and Ember Mclain you have unlocked one of the most sacred laws of the ghost zone. One that has not been active for at least nine hundred years." He then floated over to the book and read the text aloud. "if a human ever saves a ghost from any physical harm then that ghost is in that humans debt for 90 days." Danny and ember looked at each other before Danny spoke up.

"wait when did this happen?" Danny asked. clockwork snapped his fingers and in an instant the whole room was at once where Danny and Ember were not but a few hours ago. Danny watched as he pushed Ember out of the way. "Ember watch out!" he yelled as he saw himself push her out of the rubbles way. Danny found himself blushing and turned to see ember doing the same. The room returned to normal and clockwork spoke up. "now then Danny need I say more?" he asked. Danny responded. "yeah what do you mean the ghost is in the humans debt for 90 days and who is the…" Danny stopped and turned and looked at ember and she did the same both of them now putting two and two together.

Clockwork smiled. "that's not fair." Ember shrieked. "I agree." Danny followed. Ember was expecting an insult or some wise crack but what came out of dannys mouth shocked her. "all I did was save an enemy and your punishing Ember for life?" he said. Ember looked at Danny full of confusion. "tell me Danny." Clockwork spoke up. "why did you save miss mclain?" he asked. Danny looked at clockwork like he had just asked him to commit murder. "whats that supposed to mean?" he said eyes glowing green in anger. "im the hero I protect anyone including my enemies." Ember looked at Danny with utmost shock. "he was sticking up for me?" she asked herself. Clockwork looked at Danny and smiled. "well my young apprentice I am sorry but im afraid all ghosts including halfas must follow the laws." Danny interjected. "but im half ghost." Clockwork only stared back. "which is why Ember Is in your debt until the 90 days are up." Ember spoke up after a while. "what happens if dipstick doesn't want this then?" she asked. clockwork sighed. "then ember mclain you will disappear from the ghost zone forever."

A dark figure watched as the events unfolded In the room. it walked out of the room and shut the door behind him. "I hope you all are enjoying the story and sorry for the wall breaker but I had to see this all first hand" he continued down the hall as he continued down the hall. "I forgot to mention now that I have a new job I will have to post when I can but don't worry. It will all be worth it." he then snapped his fingers and in that moment vanished.
