I apologize in advance if I ever get off track or something

all I have been doing really is typing everything that has already been written down so I decided I needed to write something and I may have strayed a bit (don't I always?)heh i'll be going through and checking it but I might miss something and if I do I am very sorry!

thank you for reading this

on with the story!


Vlad's POV~

I caught Kara before she fell to the floor. Oh god I have drugged my own child I truly am the lowest of the low. I looked at her as she slept. She was always very pale but somehow she had gotten even more so,probably because of all the blood lost from her shoulder. Even now their was blood seeping through the bandages I had just put on her not even 15 minutes ago. I flew her up to her room. I had,of course given her a pill to make her sleep while also helping the pain. It would also help it heal faster. As I set her down on the bed I realized that this was the first time in a while that she was wearing something that actually showed her arms. I looked at them,seeing new scars and briefly wondered if I should confront her about them this time. When I actually saw them in human form. I knew of course what had been going on. My ghost half saw to that. In the beginning I was a very...harsh father to Kara. I would sometimes drink and curse her own birth in front of her. She always took it like the strong girl she is. I never remembered what I had done in the mornings and had acted as normal. While Kara had been slightly on edge the first few times she soon sucked it up but after a particularly bad night she had run away, or rather I had kicked her out of the house. I woke up the next day and had immediately noticed her absence I had found her crying, not far from home cursing her own existence and cutting her arms with broken glass. That was how I found out what I had been doing to her in my drunken state. I then swore off alcohol and kept a closer eye on Kara. When I had started paying attention to her I realized how blind I was to the fact that she had been severely depressed. It was very obvious when asking her what she thought of herself and others. I remember once getting a call from a teacher on her second day of high school this year. A teacher seemed to be very concerned. Kara had gone to school with most of the kids in her class for 8 years and yet she talked to none of them,didn't even know most of their names. Didn't speak in class,mostly stayed on her ipod and phone when they had free time. The teacher had suggested I talk to her about it I said I would but I never did. I figured it was something all teens went through and it was completely normal. So I ignored it. I checked on her more though and often phased invisibly into her room and found her cutting herself or talking online about how she hated her life and always felt terrible. I didn't see why though. She can have anything she wants as my daughter anything money could buy at least but she barely asked for anything. I sighed, why am I thinking of everything now? I looked at her one last time and caressed her cheek before phasing out of the room after a few seconds I phased into my secret lab. I looked at my closed portal and went over to a large computer and put in a password to open the ghost portals doors. A few days ago the portal had mysteriously turned on even though it hadn't worked when I had tried to turn it on a week before. I figured it was a delay or something to do with charging I hadn't had much time to dwell on the matter though I had just been excited for a bigger portal. I had a small one right next to it, plugged into the wall not even half the size of the new one. The small one was like the one me jack and maddie had made before in college. I glared at nothing in particular. There really was no reason for the mini portal now though I hadn't been able to destroy it yet. I had used it for many years to visit the ghost zone before. It was a very strange place but I had enjoyed going in and making a name for myself amongst the resident ghosts there. I even had a few allies and workers. One of my workers, skulker, was more of a friend though. I looked at my portal as the doors had already parted to reveal the beautiful swirling gate to the other world. I couldn't help but stare at it for a few seconds, I quickly snapped out of it though and remembered what I was doing. I had recognized the glowing green goo in Kara's arm, ectoplasm of course meaning a ghost had come through and possibly tried to harm her. I made my way to the portal, already in ghost form I flew into the green swirling surface and immediately felt a bit at ease. I navigated quickly to the lair of skulker. You might be wondering 'Plasmius why are you here?' well good question. I'm here because skulker has a special ecto scanner on my portal that tells me who has gone through it recently. I came in here yesterday to hear that somehow klemper had come through. I didn't really mind, klemper hadn't bothered me at all so as long as he wasn't seen by Kara and didn't bother me he could stay in my mansion if he wanted. I flew down and navigated through a few trees and traps and soon found myself in the actual heart of the island that was his lair. I quickly phased into his "tv room" as he liked to call it. I found him in a chair looking at a screen, one out of the many that had videos being streamed onto them live from many different surveillance cameras. The one he was looking at though was the main monitor which had two images stitched together with some text over it. The text read 'targets both halfa.' I looked one of them was Danny phantom whom I had heard of. And the other I didn't recognize but looked almost like a female version of phantom but with slightly longer and messier hair. She actually reminded me of Kara. Skulker was too busy typing away on his computer to notice me so I cleared my throat to catch his attention. He jumped slightly then got an annoyed look.

"I hate it when you do that plasmius."Skulker glared as he went back to his computer and typed something."What is it you need?"He asked as he typed away. I raised an eyebrow at him as I put my hand on the back of his chair and leaned forward to see what was on this smaller screen he was looking at. It was an informational document on Danny phantom.

"What I can't stop by every once in a while?"I asked, we were friends of course I could.

"Well I guess you could if it wasn't for your dislike of my 'untidy lair' as you call it Plasmius."He grumbled. He had stopped his typing to do the air quotes when he had said untidy lair. It was true his lair was untidy the multiple pelts and 'trophies that he so loved were scattered about all over. One time I had even payed him in a new suit to clean. It had worked but i had only been kept clean for 2 or 3 days.

"Hmm true. I wanted to know who has gone through my portal recently."I said. Skulker took it upon himself at one point to monitor all ghosts that came through the portal at all times. His reason for doing so...was complicated. It had started long ago when he had gone a bit crazy and over protective of Kara. He used to be her baby sitter and since I made him take care of her for so long it got in the way of his hunting, his obsession. I had been a bit useless when it came to children,especially after my wife died and I had left all the work to skulker who had some kind of child caring program installed. So over time I had noticed that Skulker had come over more,cared more, and been more of a father than I had been and I promptly made him quit when I had come to my senses. But it had been a tad too late. You see when a ghost is kept from his obsession for too long,it becomes...corrupt. His obsession is then replaced by whatever has been occupying their time instead of their original obsession. In short he had become obsessed with Kara. Which is why he used to stay at his computer monitoring the activity making sure no ghost even thought of coming through and after Kara. Eventually he had gotten to the point where he invisibly stalked her at school. She had thought he was her imaginary friend though so it had been okay with her. I had found out though when there had been a disturbance at school and Kara was blamed. She had cried and told me it was Skulkey's fault. So I promptly put an end to him seeing kara,by stalking her invisibly myself. Making sure that if he came anywhere near her he would be ejected from his suit and kicked back to the ghost zone. Eventually I had made him hunt something for me and it gradually made hunting his obsession again. He still has a camera in the house though and I have walked in on him watching her through it sometimes. It was fairly creepy but I guess some protection from other ghosts is always nice. I snapped out of my thoughts when. Noticed skillet was talking.

"-and of course I went through for a good reason you know a-and I'm sorry I kind of crashed through your ceiling but it wasn't my fault!"he said defending himself.

"Skulker it is fine I didn't think you fell out of the sky randomly but what made you fall,or who? "

"Well as you know I have a halfa tracker,well you have it to me so you should know and I just installed it you know and I turned it on and I need to upgrade it or something because it only shows the halfas when they're in their ghost forms,well anyway I was following phantom when this big red dot shows up on my radar and on the map I find that it appeared in Wisconsin so I thought it was you but look."he said as he thrust his robotic arm out to show me the only dot the censors picked up was mine and it was a large for the color of my ectoplasm.

"This is the one I saw that I thought was you but Is actually another halfa near you." He messed with the censor to show me a red dot almost as large as mine and the size of the dot indicated the amount of power one had.

"So your saying,there is a new halfa?"

okay guys so this chapter took way too long and for that I'm sorry but that message at the top is now false because I did have this all types out for the next few chapters where I just had to mess with them a bit then post them after I typed them on here of course but my iPod where I kept all of this croaked so I lost it all so I'll be typing straight from my head to here so it will possibly go slower possibly go faster idk but another excuse for why this chapter came so late is(if you care) I was a bit depressed and didn't really feel like doing anything for a while and put off updating because I had no inspiration and knew it would end up shittier than usual so sorry about the long delay again guys (I hope this chapter is okay and that explanation made sense it is literally around 3:30 am when I am writing this and I have school tomorrow oh joy!

thank you so much for reading and also thank you to the person(your username escapes me at the moment I'm so sorry) who recently left a review it made me so happy and want to update I love it when I get feedback thanks again to anyone who has reviewed!
