YAY ANOTHER chapter! I am sorry I didn't give this to you sooner :( but I had writer's block and school Okay rant time for me, if you don't wanna hear just skip the next paragraph

even though I had a FREAKING QUIZ the second day of school and will have three FREAKING TESTS on Friday I finished it! :) But seriously the first week of school should be slightly chiller. And teachers, Can you stop yelling at us for being late because I had to go up four flights of stairs then find the class room in like two minutes? Yes my school is FOUR STORIES tall and no, there is not an elevator… I have been going 1st, 4th, and 1st on the other side of a street, 4th… that is just wrong… I feel like the school didn't know it was going to be so large so it bought a small property and built up whenever they needed to make more classrooms

Anyways, I am LOOSELY basing my Mesopotamian mythology on Mesopotamian mythology. So if any of you are big mythology of Mesopotamia fans (highly unlikely but if so you are AWESOME), sorry if it is totally wrong.

And last but not least! Disclaimer: Although my love for Danny Phantom is great… I did not create him… and if you say that I am old enough to create Mesopotamian mythology… that stuff is like before the bible! I am a bird not a time lord!

"Jack, My old friend. Help me," The filthy half ghost said. Vlad must have been in a pretty bad fight. His face had all sorts of scratches and bruises. The suit he was wearing was all cut up. What could have been so powerful to hurt a level eight ghost so badly?

"I am sorry Vlad, but I don't help people who attack my wife and son," I spat at Masters. Vlad gaped at me for a few seconds. Then he quickly glared at Phantom.

"Why you little… You told him too didn't you," Vlad said to Phantom.

"I didn't tell Maddie or Jack. Maddie found out by herself and then she told Jack," Phantom said while glaring at the Halfa.

"Maddie? Jack? Oh he doesn't know yet, does he?" Vlad said with a smirk, "Well let me enlighten the moron. You see Daniel is actually-"

Phantom chose that moment to hit Vlad with an ectoblast. He then picked up the weakened ghost by his collar. And growled something I couldn't hear at Vlad. The older ghost then blasted the younger one away.

"Please Daniel, you are really no match for me," Vlad said cockily.

"Yeah well I am not the one who has had his powers for over twenty years and has a hard time beating one who has had his powers for a year," Phantom quipped.

Vlad growled at that but was unable to make a remark because Phantom hit the weakened ghost again, but this time, Phantom put too much force in the punch and it knocked the ghost unconscious.

"I don't like this," Phantom said while looking at the filthy ghost, "Vlad doesn't ask for help unless he wants to use the person as bait, as pawns, or if he is in some real deep trouble."

"Which one do you think he wanted?" I asked Phantom

"I don't know. But whatever it is, we have to be ready."

Phantom and I were patrolling around town. We both had decided to leave Vlad back in a thermos at the house since he wasn't going to wake anytime soon. I had decided that this was the best time to organize my thoughts.

First, and easiest to organize: We need to get fudge. We had been running out and Maddie was not able to go to the store before she left. Okay now that that is over with, what did Vlad Masters need help about? Phantom said it was unusual for him to ask help. Why ask this time? Agh, If only Maddie was here, she would know. She has always been smarter than me, that is one of the reasons why I married her. Also because she is so sweet, shares my interest with ghosts, is good looking, has a great personality…. GAH I am getting off track.

Trying to figure out Vlad is useless; maybe I should take advantage of my time with Phantom and learn some things about my ally.

"So tell me about yourself, Phantom," I turned to the ghost.

"What would you like to know?" Phantom said while flying next to me. There were so many possibilities! I could learn more about the ghost zone, ghost anatomy, anything to do with ghosts! Do ghosts remember their life before dying? Maybe I could ask that!

"How did you die?" I asked enthusiastically. My enthusiasm soon faded when I saw Phantom flinch. I guess that was a bad question to ask.

"It's kinda rude to ask that to a ghost," Phantom said in a quiet voice. An awkward silence came… I really wanted to know what happened to him, but even I wasn't insensitive enough to ask him. We continued to walk, or in his case float, in silence.

"A lab accident," Phantom said after a long time, "I was trying to help fix my Mom and Dad's invention when I accidently turned it on while I was inside."

I stood in shock as shivers were sent up my spine. Danny, my son was in a lab accident about a year ago. What if the same thing that happened to Phantom happened to him? (1)I couldn't even imagine it. And why did Phantom give me that information? It wasn't like I was bugging him to give it to me. Maybe… is he starting to trust me?

My thoughts were interrupted by another ghost attack. Phantom quickly weakened the ghost and captured it with the Fenton Thermos. It was amazing how fast he could catch these ghosts. What would take my wife and I a half an hour maybe longer, takes Phantom a few minutes. He seemed to have a lot of practice. That is another thing I don't get about Phantom. Maddie and I had made the theory that Phantom was just trying to be good until everyone forgot about him attacking the mayor. He has so many fans and no one thinks of the Mayor kidnapping when he they think of Phantom, so why hasn't he attacked yet? Could it really be that the ghost's actions are not for his personal gain?

All of these things confuse me. I am one to think of something as black or white, not grey. I enjoy being happy go lucky and slightly blunder, I don't like having to think so much about whether something is good or bad. That is why I have still thought of Phantom as bad till now. But it seems like I keep getting slapped in the face on all the good things that this ghost, whom I thought was evil, has done. I am stubborn in my beliefs and don't like to lose them. Though I think I might be losing my belief in all ghosts are evil…

Ugh too much thinking! I think it is because of my Fudge withdraw. Once Phantom and I are done hunting I am going to buy some fudge, go to bed, and then deal with Vlad in the morning

(1)This is what I would like to call: Dramatic Irony :)

How was it? I wanted a bit of how Jack thought in this chapter. He hasn't had much time to do that in this story. And once I get into the later chapters, he will probably have even less time to think. I am afraid I am being a bit OOC with Jack, but you know, maybe what goes on in his head and what comes out of his mouth are different. I try my hardest to keep his actions in character, and the thoughts I try to make sound a bit more thoughtful and sophisticated… I hope you guys don't think it is too OOC

Anyways… (do you guys think I say that word too often?) REVIEW OR I SHALL PECK YOU TO DEATH! ….hah like I would do that! But Please make a little bird happy, review :)
