Phanniemay Day 4: Transformation

Word Count: 597

Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom

Maddie watched her son's retreating form sadly. She didn't know what she did wrong.

Ever since the beginning of his freshman year, Danny has drifted away farther than ever from her. At first, she didn't notice it. But after a few months, she saw how he would shy away from her and Jack, how he would just run upstairs with Sam and Tucker without a response to the usual 'How was your day?'. And occasionally, whenever either Jack or her would talk about ghosts, he would flinch as if he didn't want to hear it. When Danny was little, he was excited about ghosts, and looked up to her and Jack. Even if the fondness for ghost hunting went away a bit as he grew, it was still there. Now it seemed like he'd had enough of ghosts.

Could it be that spend too much time focused on ghost hunting that Danny felt neglected? 'That can't be right,' Maddie thought, 'we always have time for Danny and Jazz.' But the more she thought about it, the more she realized that it wasn't true. Whenever they talked, ghosts would always somehow find their way into the conversation. Most of the day, the Fenton adults would be out patrolling the streets for ghosts, even though Phantom seemed to always get there first. Maybe she didn't need to watch out for ghosts. She could just let Phantom do the work, and spend more time with Danny and Jazz. Even if Phantom was evil, at least Danny wouldn't shy away from her anymore.

But to Maddie it just didn't fit Danny. Danny was always sweet and kind, and wouldn't just push away people from his life. It could just be that Danny's growing up into an independent person. It could be that Danny was doing drugs, or even in a gang, but that just didn't fit Danny. So what did?

Vlad shouldn't have said anything. If he didn't, he wouldn't be in this pile of rubble, or have a couple of bones broken.

It started with a fight. And normally, whenever Daniel was involved in a fight, witty banter ensued. And whenever Vlad 'banters' with Daniel, it's mostly insults. Truthfully, Vlad didn't know what he had said. It started after the CAT, Daniel became sour, and more protective of his friends and family.

Daniel hovered in the air, charging an ecto-blast, "Shut up you fruitloop, you should just get a darn cat!"

Vlad simply chuckled and dodged the blast, "Wow, Dan, watch your anger. It can do horrible things for you in the future." At these words, Daniel visibly stiffened, and his eyes turned cold. As if somebody turned on a switch, his eyes turned from an ectoplasmic green to a blood red. Vlad recoiled, for once actually regretting what he said.

"SHUT UP! IM NOT GOING TO TURN INTO HIM!" Suddenly, his hair seemed to catch fire, and his whole body glowed with power. Unrelenting, cruel power that Vlad didn't know Danny would ever possess. And before he knew it, his back hit the ground.

To be truthful, Vlad didn't know what made Daniel so mad. He knew that he didn't like being called anything other than Danny, but he never reacted like this before. Maybe he just didn't like the way his future was going. But what Vlad really wanted to know was who is him? Daniel had changed so much, Vlad didn't know anymore.

I meant to have more POV's, but I don't have anymore time...I'll probably come back later to put some more in.
