Hello. Second chapter coming up. Enjoy!
Autumn's P.O.V
I still remember meeting Danny, Tucker, and Sam like it was yesterday. A month has passed by for us, and now they know why my nickname is Elsa, and they call me that now. We have gotten closer as friends. There are some days where I can't hang out with them. I have to see my other friends in the other dimensions at some point! I've also been trying to help Danny's parents with their ghost portal, but they won't let me. I know a lot about mechanical stuff! I can help! Well, anyways, we were in Danny's living room, just talking about random stuff. Jazz was in her room, no doubt reading about psychology again. She should just get a job as a therapist, I swear.
"Why are you so interested in ghosts?" Sam asked for the millionth time.
"I told you already. I'm curious. I love the supernatural and everything about it" I answered calmly. I AM supernatural! Why wouldn't I be curious to find out more? I was suddenly grabbed from behind and dragged somewhere. I gave a yelp of surprise, and I heard three others. We were all dragged into the lab and sat in chairs.
"Don't do that, please" I said dusting myself off.
"You'll be glad I dragged you here. The Fenton ghost portal is finally finished!" Jack exclaimed proudly. Now I am glad he dragged me down here. I smiled.
"We also finished making this for you. Since you wanted to help us so much and are interested in ghosts, you need protection" Maddie said. She came over and handed me a hazmat suit like the one they made for Danny, but my colors were black, the main color, and hot pink, the gloves, boots, and the place above the zipper.
"Thank you" I said taking it.
"Let's plug her in, Maddie!" Jack yelled. Maddie went and put two plugs together. I looked at the ghost portal expectantly, but all it gave out was a spark.
"This can't be right. The calculations were all correct this time, I'm sure of it" Maddie said in confusion. I was confused now. This time? When was the first time?
"It didn't work because ghosts don't exist" Jack said sadly. I feel bad for them. You know, if I helped, then it would've worked.
"Come on, Jack. I'll make you some fudge" Maddie soothed. They went back upstairs to make fudge.
"I feel bad for them" I said looking at where they left.
"You know, this is cool. I've always wanted to see what was on the other side" Sam said going up to the portal.
"I have too, but the portal doesn't work" Tucker pointed.
"Not if I have anything to say about it" I said determinedly. I started to put on my new suit.
"What are you doing?" Danny asked me. He was actually trying to stop me. I will always beat him in the strength category.
"You saw how sad they were when it didn't work. I'm going to help by going in there and finding out what the problem is" I argued.
"What about your parents?" Danny asked. He's got a point there.
"Relax, Danny. I'll be in, find the problem quickly, and get out before anything bad happens" I shrugged. Nothing's changing my mind about this decision. I started going into the ghost portal.
"Why don't you go with her, Danny?" Sam asked.
"What?" Danny and I asked at the same time.
"You have your own suit. You can help her find the problem twice as fast. Plus, don't you want to see what's on the other side of this portal?" Sam asked. Actually, she's right. With both of us, finding the problem will go twice as fast instead of just me alone.
"I guess. Yeah, I'll go in too" Danny said. He put on his suit and followed me inside.
"You know, it's kind of cool in here. Your parents did an awesome job with this" I marveled while looking for a problem.
"Yeah. I guess so" Danny smiled. He then tripped and fell, which caused me to fall. I managed to catch myself on the wall. I gave a sigh of relief, but I heard beeping. I pulled my hand away from the wall to find an on/off switch. Are you kidding me!? Why would they put an on/off switch in the ghost portal!? I didn't have much to think on it because I saw the portal light up in green lights then switched to red. Danny and I tried to get out, but the pain already started. It felt like a thousand knives were cutting into my skin. I couldn't get them to stop. I don't think I ever want to work with electricity again. I was screaming for the pain to stop, and I was very aware of Danny screaming too. Is this what death feels like for some people? I feel like passing out or dying, whichever comes first. After what felt like eternity to me, Danny and I stumbled out of the portal. I walked a few feet before falling to the floor. I weakly pulled my head up to find that my vision was blurry, but I saw someone that looked like Danny stumble to the middle of the room before passing out. I saw a ring of light on his torso after, but I think that's my imagination starting to run wild on me. I saw someone running to me and saying stuff, but I couldn't hear anything. I couldn't keep my eyes open forever. I'm too exhausted to keep myself conscious. I think...I can...make...do...with...some...sleep.
"How is she, Danny?" I heard someone ask.
"She's still out of it. If she dies, I don't know what I'll do" I heard Danny answer.
"She has a pulse right? She's breathing right? There's nothing to worry about" I heard the first person argue. I could pinpoint them as Sam and Danny's voices now. Last time I saw Danny, he just passed out. I wonder how long I was out?
"Yeah, but for how long? It's been a week, Sam. If she's okay, then she would've woken up by now" Danny argued back. Wait, a week!? I've been out for that long!? Geez, my parents are going to kill me for not contacting them for that long. I tried to open my eyes, but I failed miserably. I tried to make my body move. Any part of my body, I just want it to move to tell them that I'm fine.
"Danny. Her hand twitched. She's waking up!" Sam exclaimed. That works. I kept trying to open my eyes, a least a little bit. I managed to split them open halfway, thank goodness.
"Sup guys?" I asked.
"Elsa! You're okay!" Sam exclaimed.
"Yeah. I'm fine. What happened? I remember passing out after the ghost portal turning on" I groaned trying to sit up. Sam looked ready to push me back down, but I didn't give them any signs of pain. I healed while I was passed out.
"Well, after you and Danny passed out, everyone was worried about you both. We checked you up. When we found out you were okay, we wanted to take you home, but we didn't know where that was, so you were left on the couch to heal and get better" Sam summed.
"How are you feeling, Elsa?" Danny asked me. Truthfully, I felt fine, but I can't let them know that.
"I sort of feel like I got electrocuted, but a million times worse" I groaned. Well, I forced it, but it looks like they bought it.
"Do you...feel any different than you normally do?" he asked.
"...Yeah. I feel a hot place in the pit of my stomach. That's not supposed to be there" I said truthfully. I normally feel cold. Why is there a hot spot there?
"I knew something happened" I heard Danny mumble.
"Hmm?" I asked.
"Nothing, but we need to talk later" Danny said. Does this have anything to do with the ghost portal?
"You could say that, but it's more of the effects it had" Danny answered. Is he a fucking mind reader!?
"No, but I just knew what you were thinking that it was" Danny answered again. I'm going to go insane if this keeps going on. I want to get up, fully. I don't like being confined in one place for a long time. I started to get up and stand.
"Elsa, maybe you shouldn't strain your legs to hold your weight right now. You need to heal more" Sam said concerned.
"While I appreciate your concern, Sam, I think that I've healed enough. See? My legs are fine after a week" I argued. Sam looked ready to argue more, but didn't get a chance to as Danny began pulling me to his room.
"I guess I'll call Tucker" Sam sighed. As she pulled out her phone to call Tucker, Danny was pulling me by my hand to his room. He let me go as we got to his room, and he closed the door.
"Geez Danny, you have a strong grip" I said rubbing my wrist. I didn't think that he had such a strong grip for someone his size.
"Sorry, but I needed to talk to you before something bad happened" Danny apologized.
"What are you talking about?" I asked raising an eyebrow in confusion.
"I'll tell you that when Tucker and Sam get here. They can help explain" Danny answered. Just as he said that, I heard a knock on the door. Danny opened it a crack to see who it was.
"Get in here, guys. Quick" Danny ushered. Tucker and Sam came in the door, and Danny closed it again before locking it. That was quick.
"Okay. Now explain. What's going on?" I demanded.
"Well, you know how you and Danny went inside the ghost portal and turned it on, right?" Tucker asked.
"Yeah. And?" I answered.
"We did more than just turn it on" Danny said. I looked over at him, and my eyes widened massively. He was...falling...through the floor!
"Uh...Danny? You're...falling through the floor?" I pointed out, but also asked in confusion. Tucker and Sam helped to pull Danny from the floor.
"We...got ghost powers too. I was just intangible" Danny explained.
"So, basically we died, but still alive?" I asked. Well, I'm part vampire, so I guess I'm 3/4 dead now.
"...I guess you could say that" Danny said. Is it just me...or are they get taller? Am I getting shorter? Come on, I hate being shorter than people! Danny, Sam, and Tucker grabbed my arms and pulled me up. I looked down, and I saw my legs were transparent. My eyes widened even more than before, if they could. I'm dead. My parents are going to kill me when they hear about this, even worse, Danny's parents! They're ghost hunters! I'm a ghost, well, part ghost, but it doesn't make a fucking difference! They'll tear me apart, molecule by molecule.
"Don't worry. It's going to be okay. We just need to hide this from everyone" Danny tried to comfort.
"And how will we do that!?" I exclaimed. My tone just changed from calm to confused to horror to frantic! I'm going to pass out if this keeps up. I don't want to be seen right now. I don't want to die! Well, I technically did, but I don't want to for real! I'm too young to die for real!
"Look, Elsa. Can you be visible again? We just need to control our powers enough to not be noticed by anybody, and we can possibly train with them if a ghost attacks the town" Danny planned. I was invisible? I didn't want to be, but I guess my vampire side doesn't listen to me. I tried to make myself be seen again. I didn't want to be invisible forever.
"You have more control over that power than me. How did you do that?" Danny asked.
"Sometimes powers stem from your emotions, being invisible stems from humiliation or embarrassment. You don't want to be seen, therefore, you become invisible" I smiled.
"I'll keep that in mind. Are you okay enough to go to school tomorrow?" Danny asked.
"What day is it?" I asked.
"Thursday" Tucker answered. Damn it! That'll mean a weekend full of homework! I didn't want that!
"We can help you with your make-up work if you want" Sam offered. I guess my facial expression gave that away.
"Thanks, Sam" I smiled. I'll keep that in mind, but I'm a smart kid. I think I'll be able to get them done before Monday when school starts again.
"Why don't we tell everyone I'm okay now?" I asked changing the subject of ghost powers and school. I hope I can get these ghost powers under control soon.
"Good idea. Come on" Danny said. He unlocked his door and opened it for us to get out. I hope they weren't too worried.
Done. How'd you like Elsa getting powers like Danny?
Elsa: Isn't it bad enough I'm part vampire?
Turtle: Oh, relax.
See you later. Review?
