Desiree smirked, an evil little smile playing across her lips. Those two disgusting hybrids would pay! The younger one was a no brainer. Danny Phantom had ruined her beautiful wish granting and returned her from the human world to the ghost zone to rot one to many times, and in a device humans used for soup no less! The anger she held for the older halfa went deep.

Desiree had heard of the "great" Vlad Plasmius when he started becoming big, as the "first halfa" in the ghost zone. Curios about such a creature who claimed he was half ghost and half human, the former concubine, began collecting leads on him. Finally her sources brought her to some unnamed ghost, one she barely recalled even now. Perhaps it was…Skilker? He mentioned something about being the ghost zone's… worst… gardener, perhaps? After declaring himself something of significance to the ghost zone had very rudely –in her opinion- demanded to know why she was on his… garden…island?(Desiree simply could not recall what he called his home.) She explained –flirted- her way into an answer. He had told her of how Plasmius was his employer and requested they "have dinner sometime." After getting the location of the ever elusive Vlad Plasmius she politely -flew away- declined his offer.

Finally locating the ghost portal…Skilker… had told her about, she waited for the supposed "ghost-hybrid." Finally ready to give up, the portal activated. Desiree had waited a LONG time, if this so-called "halfa" turned out as some arrogant ghost lying… Well let's just say it wouldn't be pretty.

As the hybrid exited the activated portal and she got a good look at him, she reasoned her wait wasn't completely in vain, as she laid eyes on the "halfa," she couldn't help but notice he was rather…handsome. Desiree was impatient and simply got to the point,

"Are you Vlad Plasmius, the one they call the 'halfa!'"

She raised her hands forming a very large mallet with them.

"Because, if you're not… well I will be VERY 'disappointed.'"

She smiled deviously. Vlad was slightly unnerved by this odd ghost waiting outside his portal. Well, he reasoned, stranger things had happened. So being in a good mood that day and knowing that this odd ghost in front of him was no threat, he decided to humor her.

"My dear I don't believe we've ever met. However I do believe one usually introduces themselves first before demanding to know the other's name."

Plasmius smiled coyly, knowing full well he now irked the female in front of him. Desiree however, did not find the strange vampire ghost in front of her amusing. Although, she couldn't help but notice how his voice reminded her of the sultan… It was soft yet stern and knowledgeable, his voice, like velvet on skin, it made her want to roll her body…. The SULTANS voice not THIS. This man she had just met!

No not all! Still…she couldn't help but notice how well-built the man was too….Huffing in frustration she finally decided she'd play along with this odd (attractive) man. Reforming her mallet into hands and placing them on her hips she countered in a haughty tone,

"I am Desiree, the wish granter, When I was human I hailed from a palace in Arabia. Now TELL ME, are you, or are you not the 'halfa' Vlad Plasmius!"

Vlad smirked, amused. A few minutes earlier he remained certain would have to "get rid of" this odd ghost, after he finished baiting her, however it turned out she wasn't as primitive as he thought apparently she could be somewhat "civil." Thoroughly amused at the turn of events Vlad decided to continue this odd conversation.

"I simply meant your name, but I know how some ghosts love their speeches. Oh and there I go, rambling on, like some primitive ghost."

At this Desiree was about ready to reform her mallet at the insult, when Vlad continued,

"Allow me to get to the point,"

He smiled one fang peeking out.

"I am indeed the Vlad Plasmius and the so-called 'halfa' you seek. However, since we're over sharing details today and I feel rather generous,"

At that last scathing comment, he received a sharp glare from the genie.

"I thought I'd introduce you to Vlad Masters as well."

With that he flew to a nearby island floating in the green atmosphere and morphed into his human half. Before her stood an attractively tanned man, with silver hair pulled into a sophisticated ponytail, wearing what appeared to her, as some sort of expensive human garb. Desiree gasped and stared, completely stunned. Yes she had heard that the so-called halfa was able to morph but seeing it up close was an entirely different experience. With that the billionaire morphed back to his ghost half.

Flying off the small floating island he coyly said to the wishing ghost,

"I do hope that satisfies you my dear. Now before I leave I was hoping you could answer a little question for me."

Desiree eyed him suspiciously, figuring she might as well prolong her meeting with the now confirmed halfa, seeing as how it had taken her such a long time to track down the vampire like ghost before her.

"Very well 'Vlad Plasmius.' What is it you wish to ask of me?"

She replied seductively. Vlad quirked an eyebrow at her suggestive tone, quickly dismissing it, he focused on the information he wanted from the wishing ghost.

"I do believe earlier you said you were a 'wish grantor' just to clarify, did you perhaps mean as in a genie?"

Desiree laughed in disbelief, truly this man got stranger and stranger.

"Why, yes I suppose I am, according to your little human fairy tales, however unlike your species little stories, MY powers have no set rules or limits."

She boasted, putting a hand on her chest in pride. Vlad smiled an ominous look crossing his face.

"That is simply fascinating. Tell more about these 'wishing powers' of yours hm?"

With that, their idle chatter continued into a full-blown conversation Vlad asking questions about her powers and Desiree giving long descriptive answers. With that the weeks went by. Vlad and Desiree continued to have these conversations. Vlad found it oddly interesting almost extremely so but it didn't worry the Genie. Desiree thoroughly enjoyed these conversations (seeing as how they were questions about her.)

However she did find it odd that when she tried to ask about the man's powers he simply shrugged her off replying that hers were "much more interesting," and so their conversations continued in their usual pattern of Vlad asking questions and Desiree answering them. So far all their "little chats" as Vlad called them had been near the halfa's portal in the ghost zone. One day, Vlad decided to change that.

"Desiree how would you like to come to my home in the human world? I have many ancient ghost artifacts that might have some wish granting properties I would like you to look at. I would love a professional's opinion of them."

Desiree blushed with excitement. She tried hiding it, but it was fairly obvious she was developing feelings for the man. He just reminded her so much of the sultan... She couldn't quite place it but it was just something...

"Of course, Plasmius, I'd be honored, welcomed into such a respected man's home."

She said all too eager to please the man before her. Vlad smiled sincerely happy the woman agreed.

"Wonderful! Well then my dear lady, follow me."

The wish granter couldn't have been any more ecstatic. Vlad disappeared into his portal Desiree floating close behind. Once the genie reached the other side of the portal to the human world, only to be greeted with a pitch black basement. The only light coming from the ghostly green swirling around in the portal. This was odd, she thought she was sure there would be some sort of artifact in the room; Vlad had described his home filled with ancient treasures during one of those rare moments he had talked about something other than Desiree's abilities.

"Vlad?"

She called unsure of herself, this was very odd. As if the man's name were a cue, the portal suddenly cut off leaving the room the covered in complete darkness. Out of nowhere, a red light shot out from a corner in the room sending a heavy ball of electricity hurdling at the genie, effectively electrocuting her. A loud shriek emitted from the woman in the dark room as she fell to the hard metal floor paralyzed and unable to move. Once she was successfully held captive, the lights in the strange room slowly flickered on.

Vlad walked out of a corner in the room in human form looking as if he'd just caught a prized fish.

"Oh, my dear, you simply make this too easy."

Desire could only stare in horror at the man. It had all been a setup. As Vlad walked towards her a metal table raised electronically from floor as if to warn of the events to come.

"Your powers are simply fascinating my dear. Never have I come across a ghost specimen such as you!"

The Man sounded truly amazed as If he found a magnificent scientific discovery.

"I've brought you here do a… 'little' experimenting. In hopes of replicating your wish granting ability for certain projects I have, by getting a sample of your beautiful ectoplasm and isolating the chromosome that enables you to grant your lovely wishes by extracting it. Mind you this will take several tests and a bit of ... 'Samples.'"

With that the man produced a small needle filled with some sort of liquid that appeared to faintly glow.

" I call it 'Ghost slumber' I made it from various ghost plants that have a sedative like effect specifically on creatures with heavy amounts of ecto-energy such as ghosts."

Desiree's eyes got even wider with fear. Had she not been paralyzed she would have screamed. Vlad smiled reassuringly then soothingly said,

"Don't worry you won't feel a thing my lovely Desiree."

With that he walked over to the paralyzed raven haired woman and injected the 'ghost slumber'. The woman saw black, then nothing. When she woke up she found herself somewhere floating in the ghost zone. Far, Far away from the halfa's portal she assumed. She felt weak and dizzy, like an anemic that lost too much blood.

Her idle thoughts were quickly replaced with anger. She saw red. A loud howl of rage was heard throughout the ghost zone as Desiree unleashed her fury. Her only thoughts being

"I will kill you halfa! I will make you suffer for the way you betrayed me!"

Finally, Desiree saw the similarities between Vlad and the sultan. It wasn't the handsome looks, the money or the way they both seemed to utterly idolize her for a brief time. It was the way they had both USED her! They were both LYING TRETOROUS SNAKES!

They had both falsely led her on, and then threw her away like a disgusting piece of trash when they were through with her. The sultan had promised to marry her; he said she was more than one of the many women he sought pleasure with. And she had believed him. Just like she'd believed Vlad might love her too. But, then along came that bitch of a princess and she was left to rot in the desert, just like how Vlad had left her in the ghost zone now.

The sultan had wanted a pretty fuck and that's just what he got. Vlad wanted her blood and he'd harvested her like a fat leech leaving her bone dry. Oh, how she would hurt that man! She swore she would get her revenge. He would suffer!

Now she had her chance. After years of trying to break back into the human world she'd gotten her chance, the Fenton Portal. Her main goal when she'd made her break had been to find and kill Vlad but she had no clues where the man was. So, she searched unlike last time she searched for him out of pure spite. She would find him, she didn't care if it took her years she'd hunt the bastard down and smash him with her mallet!

No one USED Desiree the wish granter and got away with it, NO ONE! When clues as to where the man could be located eluded her, she would comfort herself by reveling in the image of the hated man's blood, covering her in a crimson rainbow, as she hit him again and again and again, his blood showering her like a cool soothing rain. She'd let it spurt everywhere like a juicy ripe fruit. His cherry red plasma, payment for her stolen ectoplasm!

Finally her clues came in the form of Danny Phantom, the strange young ghost who fought "for the good guys." Eventually it was revealed that he too was a halfa, the world's second halfa. None of this truly mattered to Desiree until she was captured by the young ghost boy, and yet again returned to the ghost zone. Eventually she had escaped, but this time she vowed to act more cautious, just observing the boy from afar, as to not get captured again.

As luck would have it, one fine day she was simply observing the ghost boy when who should appear, but none other than, Vlad Plasmius. Apparently the two were enemies or something of the sort. The older halfa disappeared before she even had the chance to follow let alone here a destination. None the less Desiree had her clue. After that, she followed the ghost boy more closely than before.

She studied the two half ghost's powers, their weaknesses, and strengths not leaving anything out she even studied their relationship, and what she found was gold. Such a complex relationship one that could surely go either way, all it needed was a little shove. Why did she care about such an odd thing as a relationship? To sweeten her revenge on the older halfa. Killing someone the man loved, in front of him would be the sweetest revenge, besides, she had already planned to murder Danny Phantom.

"Two half breeds with one stone."

She thought ominously. The genie just needed the right chance, to push the two hybrids together. She simply needed the magic words spoken, the right wish, and not just any wish, but one that would change both half ghosts' lives completely. Eventually all the waiting and watching finally paid off, the right wishes… had been spoken.

The first had been in the limousine ride from the Wisconsin airport to the older hybrids castle. The two had fought –again- and she had heard the younger one, she had heard his ill-fated wish. His wish had set her long-awaited revenge in motion. Danny had said "I wish you knew what it was like to care for someone other than yourself." True it wasn't very specific as "I wish for such and such," but it would do, Desiree simply needed one from the older hybrid and she would finally get to reap her seeds of revenge.

The last wish finally came from Vad. His wish sent the beginnings of her plan into full bloom. Amazed at how the two halfas hadn't noticed her presence. Both had been so consumed by their anger for the other that they hadn't realized their ghost sense's go off as the genie tailed them. This all worked out in the genies favor.

That night Desiree watched the two halfa's slumber, waiting to finally set her intricate plan into motion. Certain both slept like the dead; she finally uttered the words she had waited to speak all day,

"So you have wished it…So shall it be!"

Not even a second later the pink smoke that accompanied her magic surrounded both halfas. The first wish would affect the heart of the elder. The second, affecting the form of the younger. She watched in victory as the ominous pink smoke lazily wafted around the young halfa then slowly covered him in a cloud of pink. As the cloud of smoke engulfed the ghost boy it started to pulse then slowly seep into his skin.

Desiree let out a high-pitched squeal of delight as she watched her spell complete, sealing the young halfas fate. Wanting to watch her spell take over the older halfas heart she flew to the oldest hybrids room on the 3rd floor. Following the link her powers made to her victim, she located Vlad's sleeping quarters. A vindictive smile lay on the genies face as the pink smoke floated over the man. The minutes ticked by and the cloud of pink simply hovered over the man.

Desiree frowned, is should have absorbed into the man by now. The gas seemed to hesitate not knowing where to go then suddenly the cloud of pink dissipated from existence. The genie stared wide-eyed; HER spell was canceled out! This had never happened before! She let out a low feral growl; somehow Vlad Masters had gotten the better of her once again.

She didn't know how! But somehow that… that MAN had eluded her powers. Somewhere in the back of her mind (far, far back there) the genie knew it would take a little more than a misspoken wish to nab the man. She acknowledged Vlad Masters as man of power and not a foe taken down so easily (she would never admit it allowed of course.)

The former concubine gritted her teeth in frustration. This would certainly be a set back to her plans. No matter, one botched wish hadn't ruined all her planning. After all she still had the younger halfa. The genie smirked; her beautiful plan would simply take a bit longer to fruition. After all, Desiree knew good things came to those who waited.

With that Desiree hastily cast a tracking spell over the two halfas. It enabled her to watch both hybrids from the safety of the ghost zone. Chuckling darkly, a wicked grin twisted its way upon her lips, as she thought of the events tomorrow would bring. Victory would be hers. With that thick pink smoke engulfed the genies form and in a blink of an eye she was gone.

The Next Day…

Vlad awoke rather groggy, his chest still aching from the rough treatment it received yesterday. Letting out a grunt of pain, he slowly situated himself into a sitting position. With aching muscles he sluggishly left the comfort of his king sized cherry wood, canopy bed, and to his large double door bath room. The bath room had a white ceiling with a small chandelier hanging in the corner. The walls and floor matched being white with black, spattering it like little puffs of smoke as part of the design for the overly large room.

The man's feet left the soft white carpet of the bedroom and met with cold tile as he entered the large bathroom. Heading to the sink in the corner, he winced as the morning light from the two windows near the sink crept in and burned his eyes. Quickly shutting the blinds, he took off his shirt and assessed the burn. Carefully he peeled off the bandages protecting the tender flesh. When the bandages were finally off he remained pleased to see it had already healed to a shiny pink pucker compared to yesterday when the flesh was a gaping wound.

If Vlad had been fully human, it would have taken weeks for the burn to heal to the tender pink it was. However Vlad was part ghost and as such, accelerated healing was just one of the many perks. However his complacent attitude promptly changed to one of bitter resentment.

That STUPID BOY!

The older hybrid thought irritated. He wouldn't be in such a predicament if it weren't for the damned boy. Although the man had done a number on him, the man thought spitefully, smirking as he recalled the priceless look the boy's face as he halted the boy's change mid-morph. Vlad reasoned, perhaps yesterday's events were to his advantage. The boy now knew what lay in store for him if he tried pulling one of his little stunts on the billionaire again.

Oh right the boy…

The man exhaled annoyed. Vlad would have to deal with the little brat today; after all, he had promised Maddie he would watch the "dreadful delinquent…." Deciding he couldn't put of the inevitable meeting of breakfast he reached for the intercom near the wall and pressed the call button.

"'Charles,' have breakfast ready for the boy and I. Please try to make it something light, I don't need the brat returning breakfast all over the furniture."

"AL righty Mr. Masters."

A thick Wisconsin accent answered through the intercom. "Charles" aka the dairy king also doubled as Vlad's chef, "Charles" being the dairy king's human alias. Vlad liked to keep up the fake name even when he was alone; just one slip up in public was all it would take for someone to start snooping and finding out things they didn't need to know. With that Vlad checked his watch, 6:05am. The boys alarm was preset and should have already gone off. The man let out a low chuckle as he thought of the rude awakening the boy would receive.

An amused smile lay on his lips as he pressed another button on the intercom.

"Daniel, I know you're awake, the alarm went off 5 minutes ago. Breakfast will be in an hour. I expect to see you in the dining room dressed. If you even think about ignoring this and going back to bed I will come get you myself."

With that the man's hand left button on the intercom and he went to shower and dress.

An hour had passed and Vlad sat dressed and primped in his usual attire of a black suit. An elegant breakfast of several kinds of fruit and crepes with different spreads lay before the man. Vlad sipped his black coffee impatiently. The boy should have arrived already. He glared at his watch, 7:05am.

Vlad had no real wish to enter the boys sleeping quarters; he figured he'd use it as an empty threat against the boy hoping it would speed him along. However seeing as how Danny was a no-show he just might have to carry out his threat of getting the boy. The billionaire sighed, 10 minutes he'd give the boy 10 minutes before he went to grab the boy. 7:15, the boy still hadn't entered the extravagant dining hall. A slight twitch and a pulsing vane could be seen on the man as he hastily shoved his chair back with a screech and angrily started marching towards the Danny's room.

Spoiled little brat! Has yesterday taught you NOTHING!

Vlads thoughts were a whirlwind of rage as he thought of how he'd deal with damn boy. Finally approaching the room the boy now resided in he yanked the gold handle on the shiny oak door giving the door a good jerk it thumped loudly against the wall.

"DANIEL! You lazy boy get up!"

In his rage Vlad failed to notice Danny could not be seen in the large homey white guest room. Vlad charged towards the queen sized white bed; he pulled the large comforter back fully expecting to see a sleep deprived 14-year-old teen. Nothing could have prepared the man for the sight that now lay before him. In the teens stead laid a disheveled looking boy a YOUNG boy. Appearing about 5 or 6, the boy had black hair the same as Danny's. It stuck up in odd places and was rather shaggy looking JUST LIKE DANNYS. The young black-haired child littered with cuts and bruises. Vlad completely forgetting about Daniel stared wide-eyed with shock. How had this young child appeared at his manor? Why did he look so beaten? Why was he in one of the man's guest bedrooms?!

These questions came to an abrupt halt as the child's head moved in his sleep revealing a large gruesome bruise on his neck… in the shape of a hand. Vlad's eyes somehow widened even further his mouth agape.

This boy… How? Surely not, but…that bruise…

Vlad felt a twinge of guilt... The bruise stood out a stark contrast to the young boy's form. There was no denying it somehow this boy was…

"Daniel…"

The man trailed off unsure. Almost as if on cue the boy's face scrunched up then slowly opened. The boy blinked a couple of times blearily blinking of the remnants of sleep. Finally the bleary room came into focus and he saw a dark looming figure gaping at him. The boy's sleepy expression quickly changed to that of annoyance.

"Fruit loop!"

A young childish voice barked out. The edge of annoyance the black-haired childish face held quickly changed to that of shock.

"WH-A Why…is that... me?!"

He squeaked out. A voice that should have been a teenaged boys came out as that of a child. The boy's face quickly went from shocked to full-blown panic. Why did he sound like this?! This wasn't right that couldn't have been him! This wasn't right!

The boy brought his hands to his face shaking, what should be calloused teenaged hands lay replaced with small unblemished childish hands that had a bit of baby fat on them. The young child stared wide-eyed shaking with panic. What had happened to him! He quickly turned to face the looming figure over him who seemed just as shocked as he was. Vlad stared locked in place his fears confirmed,

this child was most definitely…

Daniel Fenton.

End of chapter 3

Well hello again!

Shit, this chapter was LONG. I don't know why but this has been my favorite chapter so far. I apologize for taking so long to get to the point of this chapter, I just feel like I needed to explain Desiree's motives. She will most likely play a big part in later chapters. This chapter basically starts the story, finally. There is a plot to this story I just don't know what it is yet XD.

Thank you everyone who faved, alerted or commented on this story.

I'm not going lie, I totally geek out whenever I see someone follows this story. The first comment I got on this story I was at the gym, and my phone vibrated alerting me to a new email. I check my mail and I saw someone comment on my story. Needless to say I kinda smiled like a mad woman and started going "omg omg omg." I probably looked like an insane weirdo all sweaty… geeking out… on their phone…at the gym.

Yeah I'm fuckin weird.

XD

The next chapter will probably be out soon

Thanks for reading BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!
