Vlad Masters: Father
Chapter Three: Visiting
Danielle Fenton's point-of-view:
For those who don't know me, my name is Danielle Fenton. I'm a gender-bended (or female version, if you prefer) clone of Danny Fenton, A.K.A. Danny Phantom. I was one of the so-called "failed" experiments by Vlad Masters to create the "perfect half-ghost son." After Danny convinced me that Vlad was using me, I turned on my former "father-figure" and creator and aided in Danny's escape. After that, I went on an adventure. I eventually came back to Amity because I was losing stability and thought Danny could help me. Vlad knew I was back and planned to melt me down so he could find a way to perfect his mad plan. But Danny, with the help of Valerie Grey, rescued me. Danny had managed to give me a stabilizing amount of ecto-energy, and though melted I came back to life, so to speak. I thanked both of them and went on another adventure. My most memorable adventure was in a city called Angel's Wings, where I fought a more competent version of Vlad.
After Vlad was left in space, I felt that things would get better. But the villain from Angel's Wings came after me, and it was that time that Danny's parents learned of my existence. We beat the villain, and I was accepted into the Fenton family as Danny and Jazz's sister. I was officially a Fenton! I was so happy!
Now, I was at a summer camp at some time when I heard rumors that Vlad was back and Danny was helping him rehabilitate. Now, I just couldn't believe it! It couldn't be true! But alas, it was true. When I came back from summer camp to meet the "new" Vlad that Danny kept talking about in his letters, I was skeptical. But, strangely enough, after a few weeks of getting to know Vlad, again, at the mental hospital, I saw something in his eyes that I never thought I would ever see – unconditional love. Vlad had never given me that when I was living with him. I decided to end our weeks of conversation with a question. I asked, 'Why didn't you act like a father to me?'. And he replied, to my astonishment, 'Because I didn't deserve you. Because I was not your real father.' Now that was unexpected. I didn't understand that, but he said I would someday.
It is March 14th of 2008, and me and my family – including Danny – are visiting Vlad at his old mansion. I must say, I did come to forgive him over time – but not completely. I wanted to get a little "revenge" on him for being a sourpuss and a workaholic – nothing too intense, just a few pranks at times. I would also like to meet Vlad's daughter, Kathryn. This would be an interesting visit.
We are greeted at the mansion door by Vlad himself. Still formal as ever – doesn't change a whole lot.
"Welcome!" Vlad greeted us warmly.
"V-Man!" my dad, Jack, shouted. "I'm glad we could finally come!"
"I'm glad too," Vlad replied casually. "Please, come in."
I entered the mansion, and we all separated in order to look around. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her – Vlad's daughter. She definitely looked extremely pretty. She was currently watching the news. I went up to her to start a conversation.
"Hi!" I said cheerfully.
"Hello," she said in a similar tone. She then looked at me in recognition. Her eyes widened. "You must Danielle Fenton, Danny Fenton's sister!"
"That's me, alright. How do you know of me?" I asked.
"I was familiar with your identity, Dani Phantom, actually," she admitted. "I was always dreaming up fantasy stories about you – well, about your secret identity, anyway. I even drew pictures of you, too – kind of a little girl's fascination. Not all "superheroes" are girls – well, as far as I know!"
I blushed. "Well, thanks," I said shyly. Then I had a smile on my face. "Hey, you said you drew pictures me, didn't you?"
She had her own blush. "Well, yeah," she said in a coy voice. "You want to see one of them?"
I nodded. She pulled something from the folder she had with her. She gave it to me, and I gasped. It was a reenactment of one of the stage scenes with Christine from The Phantom of the Opera, one of my favorite books. I was placed in the spot where Christine was supposed to be. My eyes were quite teary at the moment.
"So, Kathryn?" I said casually, coming out of my teary state.
"Oh, please, call me Kathy," Kathryn said in a pleasant voice.
I smirked. "Okay, then you call me Dani," I replied.
She smiled. "Sounds fair enough." We began laughing together. Yep, I might actually like this girl.
