Here's a new chapter and not much to say today other than I might not be able to update any of my stories for a while because I've got to work at my mom's summer program this year and I'm on vacation.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with Danny Phantom or Atlantis the Lost Empire except for this story and my OC's.


"I'm going to go start on my homework," James said softly. "Bye guys and good luck." James whispered softly to them thinking I hadn't heard him and he scurried up to the living room.

"Do your parents know that you killed your ex?" Sam asked cautiously and I nodded never once turning away from the stairway. Slowly, I turned around to look into Sam's violet eyes allowing her to see some of my pain through my eyes and she gasped taking a few steps back.

"They say that the eyes are the window to a person's soul. Some actions speak louder than words. A picture means a thousand words. Please, follow me," I stated and walked up the stairs not bothering to make sire they were following to the living room where a picture of my family hangs on the wall. Me and James stood in front with our pet Fire Ball whose a giant lizard-like dog creature. She can basically touch lava or fire without getting burned or melted. My 2 best and only friends Janti and Luantre had one arm each over my shoulders with James sitting on the floor holding his hands in a jazz hands motion. My parents stood side by side holding hands while my Uncle Sweety stood beside Uncle Vinny and Uncle Mole with Aunty Audrey smiling beside them.

"This is my family," I told them sadly and I showed them the picture in a golden picture frame. They stared at it in confusion.

"Where are you and your parents?" Tucker asked clearly confused and I pointed to the chocolate skinned girl with the giant spear on her hand. Now, I'm slightly pale and instead of a spear, I carry nothing, but the shell of my former self. Then, I pointed to the chocolate skinned woman and the white skinned man holding hands. After I left my kingdom, for some reason my skin color changed from chocolate to white.

"But how are you-?" Sam began to ask and I just shrugged in response to her unasked question.

"I miss those old days. I miss them because they were the best moments I ever had. Be grateful for what you've got because one day your loved ones might not be there anymore," I told them cryptically as I touched my former self's cheek. "Oh, and Danny? My dream is to hang onto my new family with all my might. I want to feel loved again, I want…I want to be happy again," answered hopefully smiling softly, "I want to live again," I added wistfully.

"What do you mean by that? Are you a ghost?" Sam demanded and I shook my head as a warm feeling spread from my heart to all over inside and out of my body appearing in a blue glow.

"I'm just a little lost girl trying to find her way again whose got a lot of baggage. No one spared me a second glance, except for a few people, but I guess that's okay," I said more so to Danny than to the other two teens.

"Okay…but what were those famous sayings have to do with anything?" Tucker asked puzzled.

"When I looked into your eyes, I saw so much pain, fear and sorrow that I was scared. Now I get that that's what you live with everyday," Sam realized looking at me with pity.

"Don't look at me with pity. I hate being pitied, but you're right," I answered monotonously.

"Actions speak louder than words, your scars on your arm means that you're so…hopeless and upset that you hurt yourself to cope with the pain," Danny said in understanding and I glared at him as his friends gasped.

"You know, you really didn't have to mention that," I mumbled.

"A picture means a thousand words," Tucker repeated slowly, "This picture shows just how happy and alive you were before something happened to you that made you a shell of your former self," Tucker conceded and I gave them each a small hesitant smile.

"Yay, so now you know a little bit about me that I normally wouldn't tell anyone," I exclaimed with fake enthusiasm.

"There's more than what you're telling us, isn't there?" Danny stated suspiciously more than asked and I smirked mysteriously.

"Of course, there's more than what I'm showing you, ghost boy," I retorted playfully and they all froze as I leaned against the doorway leading to my room.

"W-What are you crazy? I'm not Danny Phantom!" Danny sputtered and I laughed hysterically until my sides started hurting.

"You're kidding, right?" Tucker asked wearily and I shook my head seriously. Out of reflex, I caught Sam's fist pinned her to the wall and pulled out a pistol from nowhere. I stopped laughing as they all froze in fear and I glared at them angrily.

"I was trained to kill in over 10 different ways without the victim being able to make a sound and interrogate people for info," I warned them in a stern voice, "and to take the worst types of torture and beatings ever, so maybe next time you should think before you try to attack me." I twirled my gun on my finger and shoved them out of my house slamming the door in their faces, but I opened it up a crack.

"Oh, and when we met in the hallway, I could feel the spiritual energy radiating off you, Danny." I answered bluntly shutting the door in their faces again and going to bed to sleep.
