A revision of my first chapter, hope you enjoy.
"TheCommonBoy"
'The Beginning'
'Part 1'
Today is the 16th birthday of Jackson and Madeline, the twin children of Danny Fenton/ phantom, and Samantha Manson. Today is also the anniversary of the death of Jack and Maddie Fenton, every year upon this day they would head to Fenton Works which had been left in ruble as a memorial to their sacrifice. They would travel into the lab, which had been slightly restored when Jackson and Madeline were five. (Explanation will be given to those who ask) They would release a wraith into the portal and then surround the portal in a ghost shield once more and leave.
The world was at peace, and no one thought that peace would ever end. But deep in the ghost zone there was something that threatened this peace. Now I give you the story of this threat, what is it? You ask, well you shall see.
~Ghost Writer
I woke up early in the morning, far earlier than usual, because of a dream I had. I dreamt of a large open green swirling void, and in that void I saw a large island of ice floating. And as the dream progressed I was pulled into a cave in the middle of a long abandoned village. As I traveled through this cave I saw scratches in the wall left long ago, they looked like my father's ghost half, a black and white jumpsuit with a white DP on the chest, the P inverted so it would be inside the D, his hair was a ghastly white, and his eyes a hallowed neon green.
I was dragged along, further into the cave, past the images and into a hall of portraits, in the center of the room was a pedestal, and on the pedestal was a stand that held a scroll that had a faint green glow to it. I reached for it and its glow intensified and then I was awake with the image of the scroll still burned into my mind.
I stood up out of my bed and headed toward my dresser. I picked up my everyday clothes, which was a black leather jacket, a white T-shirt, black combat boots, and black jeans, and headed into the shower. I stepped out of the restroom and walked back into my room. Maddie was sitting on my bed, she said, "You had that dream again didn't you?" I nodded and sat down next to her. I asked, "How do you always know?" she smiled and said, "We're twins, I know when you're in distress and feel upset." I looked at the clock and smiled, then said, "And I took a two hour long shower." She smiled and whispered, "That would help."
She got up and walked into her room, through a connecting hallway, that we built, when we first found out about our ghost powers. We had accidentally blown a hole through our wall; the sound had scared everyone in the house into our room, even Wulf. We blamed it on me, just because I was growing and I have a slight anger issues. They didn't believe us, but they accepted it, Father Saying, "Don't do it again," and mother saying, "You can tell us anything."
We had turned the hole into a hall way, instead of trying to fix the wall. I got up and looked around trying to think of something to do. I looked around the room, at the dresser next to the door that leads out of my room nothing to do there. I looked at the my X-box 360 next to the connecting hall to my sister's room, Tucker had given it to me when I was 13 at Christmas, I hadn't used it that much only when he or dad would challenge me.
I turned to the other wall and was my laptop open, I walked over to it and started it up, and then I looked at my emails. I deleted all the ads and other useless annoyances. And then I looked through and deleted all the emails of 'happy birthday' and invitations to hang out, then I came to the last email. It had been there for over a month and was starting to get on my nerves, the message had no origination site and all it contained was, 'the fright knight will return on this date, (My birthday), through the ghost portal.'
I had been training in secret with my sister for months because of it, and we were ready. I deleted the message and closed the laptop; Madeline got out of the shower moments later, and not so soon after joined me in my room. I thought about the scroll again and just as I got the full image in my head Mom yelled, "Time for breakfast," we got up and walked downstairs.
Madeline got down the stairs before me and squealed with happiness, meaning father made breakfast. She ran over and got her plate, six pieces of bacon, five sausages, and three pancakes, and 3 pounds of scrambled eggs. I groaned and walked over to my mother; she smiled and gave me a bowl of salad and a plate with ten pancakes. Explanation: I'm a vegan, not as much as mother but still refused to eat meat, and Madeline was almost as bad as Tucker when it came to meat, except that she eats some veggies. Mom had a small bowl of salad and Dad ate four pancakes, and some bacon.
I opened my mouth and put a fork full of pancake in my mouth, and at the same time my father throw a piece of bacon at me, it landed in my mouth and I tasted it right away. I chewed the food swallowed and said, "Mm, tastes like chicken," everyone started laughing. After a while Dad asked, "So where do you guys disappear to every day, Vanessa says that you won't even let her come with you." I looked at Madeline and we said, "We'll tell you when we get home after memorial." Mom asked, "why not now?" I smiled and said, "Because it's our secret place." Mom sighed but didn't push, and Dad stared at us for a while.
We finished our food then headed outside, Madeline and I got into my black and white Lamborghini Gallardo, which had been given to me by our mother's parents. Wulf jumped into the back seat and said, "kien ni iras?" I said, "We're going to a secret place, you can only go if you promise not to tell anyone." Wulf nodded and said, "Promeso" I put the car in reverse and backed out of the driveway, then put it in gear and slammed on the gas going top speed out of town toward a forest.
We pulled to a stop outside of a clearing that we had made in the trees, and got out of the car. Wulf looked around, and we turned into our alter ego, ghost halves. I had a white jacket, black shirt, white pants and white combat boots, and my hair turned from jet black to ghostly white. Madeline had a neon colored outfit, I had no clue how she does it but she does. She was wearing a purple and red jacket, a pink and blue shirt, purple and red pants, and to both our surprise, no shoes, her hair was neon yellow. Her whole being glowed and gave off a feeling of happiness, her clothes changed with her mood.
Wulf asked, "Kiel longe vi povis fari? We both smiled and said, "Longer than we know." We started training, blasting at each other making shields from energy and other unique powers we had been developing, we had made a power that we called the flying wail, we charged energy in our mouth and shot it at something and when it hit it sent off a ghostly wail. There were many other tricks but it was getting late and we needed to get back to our parents soon. But first we wanted to try something.
We walked up to Wulf and asked, "Can you teach us how to open portals to the ghost zone?" Wulf scratched his head and said, "Mi povas provi," he slashed the air and a small tare appeared. I studied it for a moment until it vanished and said, I got it. I made a fist, charge up energy and swung the fist. To Wulf's surprise, a small tare appeared, not as big as his but it was still a portal. I looked at Madeline and said, "OK you need to charge up…" she smiled and said, "You know what, I don't want to know." I nodded and looked at the clock on my phone, it was three o clock and we were almost late. We all jumped back into the car and drove back to town.
We stopped at my house and I turned to Wulf and said, "Remember, don't tell anyone what you saw." He nodded and left the car, during the drive we had changed back to our regular clothes, and Madeline's shoes were still gone. We got out of the car and headed inside, in our living room was our family, Auntie Jazz and uncle Dash, Tucker, Valerie and Vanessa, not truly family but true enough, Mom and Dad, our last grandparents, Frostbite, and Wulf.
Dad looked at us and said, "Now we can go." Everyone got up and headed outside, Dad grabbed us on the way out and asked, "where were you, did you think that it was more important that this?" he asked it in a whisper. I said, "We were using the only gift we ever got on our birthday, and yes it was more important, I learned something new." He looked at me with question in his eyes. I looked at him and my eyes turned green I smiled and said, "We were going to wait to tell you until after we got back but, we never get exactly what we want." He stared at me stunned and watched as we got back into my car and headed to the memorial.
Once everyone was at the Fenton Works we all huddled around the ruble, Madeline, Vanessa, and I remembered the stories we had been told, while everyone else remembered the events of that day. We started walking the only path leading to the lab, and slowly descended down the stairs to the lab of the greatest ghost hunters in the world. Mom and Dad approached the portal while everyone else fanned around it; Madeline and I went to the back of the group and watched, feeling out of place.
Dad turned off the shield and stepped to the side, Jazz walked toward the portal and set the memorial writhe in the portal and stepped back again. The writhe was slowly pulled into the ghost zone, after about three minutes a laugh erupted from within the ghost zone. Dad jumped at the lever to the shield and was struck by a purple ecto blast. Tucker picked two ecto cannons off of the floor, Valerie who was still missing an arm, and wasn't allowed to fight hid in the stairway operating a turret, Vanessa pulled a sword out of a closet, Jazz and Sam ran to my dad. Frostbite and Wulf got their claws ready.
A man in black armor with a purple flame sprouting from his helm stepped out of the portal and swung his blade. A line of energy hit everyone and sent them flying, Madeline and I got up and transformed into our alter egos, and approached this man. He laughed and said, "The world has sent more children halfas to battle me, The Fright Knight." I smiled and said, "We know more about our powers than even you do, so don't under estimate our power." We both charged up energy in our mouths and basted him; he laughed and said, "The ghostly wail, what nonsense…" the blasts flew around him and slammed into the back of his head sending him strait at us.
We sent a blast from opposing hands sending blasts that swirled around each other directly at the knight. He lifted his shield and just barley deflected the blast. He swung his sword and sent us into the wall. He approached Madeline and raised his sword, ready for the kill shot. I yelled, "NOOOOOOOO!" at the same time as someone else…
Okay, well, how was it. If you have any questions just ask.
