Well, it's about time that I got this up. The reason why, oh I don't know, trying to finish high school, rehearsals, performances, school pressures, crap like that. But thanks to a fave it's given me inspiration to get back with this series that that truly started my fanfiction career. So without further ado, here is the first act and scene, or chapter.

DISCLAIMER: Do not own Danny Phantom. If I did, we would probably be in the eigth or ninth season by now. But alas, we're not.

Danny Phantom

The Beginning

Act 1, Scene 1

As Nyreena slowly woke up from being knocked out during the ambush, she found herself in a large tent that was heavily guarded all around the outside. Suddenly, there were footsteps heard coming closer and closer. Standing up, a split-second later, the tent flaps were pulled back and in entered Jasan, the vampiric king and the princess's immortal enemy.

"See, didn't I warn that you would be in my clutches soon enough," he pointed out in an purely evil tone, almost cackling it he enjoyed it so much.

"Why, clearly out of the blue, did you attack my camp, Jasan?," the ghost demanded, making it a point that she was severely pissed off.

"Why, without you there to lead them with your vast expertise of combat, it'll be nothing more than easy to overturn and defeat them," he answered, almost making a point himself that he was ignoring her angered tone.

"But, you made a big mistake, though," she countered. "They'll have the guidance of my second-in-command, the Descendant."

"You don't mean...the Descendant of Van Helsing?," he fakely gasped, pretending to be frightened for his afterlife.

"Yep," she replied with a smirk on her face, missing the false gesture.

"I guess then," he said with an evil glint in his eye, "that I'll just have to get rid of him along with any human that I don't see fit for servitude in my soon-to-be dominion."

Seeing that she was being ridiculed right in the face, horror struck her expression and Nyreena truly gasped and threatened angrily, "No, you can't! I swear by my family's name, I'll make sure that you never will!"

His eyes forming very thin slits, he glared at her for a few moments, secretly almost admiring her fierce determination. But with that, he turned and left, deciding to leave her stewing in her frustration. But before he took off, he said to one of the guards surrounding living area, "Make sure that she doesn't have a chance to escape. We can't we have her leave before the night of all nights now, can't we?"

The soldier gave a curt nod in answer, which gave the king the signal to leave. After he departed, the ghostly heir sank back down on her cot, feeling utterly embarrassed by how she didn't catch what he was doing right off the bat. After a while of just staring at the ground in humiliation, something that Jasan said snagged her concentration.

"I wonder what he meant by the night of all nights," she thought. "It's got to be something that's part of his dark plot for the world, but what?"

After doing some serious thinking for a minute, all she was getting out of it was a headache so she decided to forget about it for the time being. With a heavy sigh and still groggy from the knock to the head, the princess stretched out on the folding bed and fell back into a deep, dreamless sleep.

Alright, so just to forewarn you all, a lot of these chapters will be short except for at least one but other than that expect short chapters. Well, catch you all next scene!
