His Heart

Queen Ravenna tilted Danny's head up so that he would look at her directly. In an act of defiance though the boy let his eyes wander everywhere but to her face. Nevertheless, the tip of the metal claws in which her thumb and index finger were sheathed got a reflexive shudder from the youth, pressing against the sensitive skin of the underneath of his chin and of his throat just so.

He was still youthful, hardly a man yet, but his features were far fairer than any man's she had known. In fact, he could give that accursed, wonderful treasure that was Snow White a run for her money. The queen's lips slid like blood across porcelain into a smirk, wondering what it would be like to still the beating of his heart. She had the feeling it would be far more satisfactory than the latest cretin's. This boy was too pretty and soft for this world.

The Wicked Queen placed a hand over the rebellious boy's chest, extending her magic out through his chest. Curiously enough, the boy tensed up and flinched, as if he could actually feel the viscous, feather-edged sensation of the dark magic seeping into his bloodstream. Then again, perhaps he could, for she could feel through it an arcane power that crawled and bubbled all throughout him, rubbing up against her power but not attacking it like it should against a foreign entity.

The dark magic of Ravenna reached his heart, coiling around it like a serpent and squeezing. She frowned as a moment passed, and then another with no result. Her eyes widened, mouth parting in realization, and she looked deep into the boy's eyes – he still refused to look at her, but that was fine, because the color of them reminded her too much of her homeland anyway – as she pressed her hand more firmly against his (surprisingly well-muscled for such a scrawny frame; perhaps this boy wasn't so soft after all) chest.

"Your heart, it does not beat. And yet here you are, standing before me." she breathed in wonder.

Danny did not like the intrigued look in her eyes, gleaming like a dagger's edge.

LINE BREAK

Author's Note: Yeah, I was going to write more preceding and succeeding this bit, but decided against it. Every time I tried to it always came out awfully. Anyway, basically this is an excerpt (sorry about the short length) from a Danny Phantom/Snow White and the Huntsman crossover I may write out completely in the future if nobody decides to adopt this idea. What happens is that Danny falls from a portal in the sky into the capital city of the kingdom, and he is mostly powerless because Vlad teamed up with Walker (and his goons), Technus, and Skulker to drain Danny of his power. He quickly runs into trouble with the guards, is taken to the queen, and then you see what happens next. Ravenna's interest has been piqued by Danny, and she is determined to find out how he can be dead and yet still walking around and everything at the same time, so she has him stay as a guest (who is treated well but isn't allowed to escape) in the castle. Danny, still powerless for the most part, meanwhile relies on feeding off of the ambient energy of Ravenna's magic to regain his energy, while unknowingly to him this is altering his own powers, causing them to become darker in nature. Yada yada yada, sorry for the huge rant, thank you Blue Eyed Phantom for your input.
