Danny:
I was still confused about this whole Diana thing. I was sure Percy's sister was the same Diana that Athena was talking about. Hecate didn't make things better. She kept treating me as if I was supposed to know everything. She was sometimes so annoying I just had to shoot a ghost ray at her. Yeah, I got my powers back about a month ago.
I was still thinking about this camp I had to go to. I just moved into an apartment with Hecate. I didn't want to leave Hecate for two reasons. One, she helps me keep in contact with my family and friends. Two, she tells me stories and information about my biological mother.
I found out that had the power over ice because of Khione. Khione was like my great-great-great-great-great- grandmother, she was kind of crazy. She found a way to curse her female descendants but blessed her male descendents. Yeah, she was a nut. Still…my family tree was confusing.
"Hey, Hecate um…how did my mom really die?" I asked.
"When….when she was pregnant, she was poisoned by heartless woman. Apollo and Artemis said they could only save one of them. It was either your mother or your little sister. Your father chose the life of your sister to be saved. He told everyone that she had died in labor when she was really poisoned." She said.
"How do you know this if you say my father told everyone that she died in labor?" I asked.
"I was there... Anyways, you're going to school." She said.
"Yeah sure…..WHAT!?" I yelled.
"You're going to school…Midtown high." She said.
"But I don't want to go to school." I said in a toddler's voice.
"I already got your stuff so don't even bother trying to change my mind. You start tomorrow." She said.
***the next day***
I was walking to school. Yeah, Hecate had to drag me out of bed, literally! Okay so I was walking to school and this strawberry van drops off a girl. She was too young to be in high school but she went inside anyways. What shocked me the most was that the driver was covered in eyes. It was my third period when I was almost late to class.
"Late the first day of school. I presume your Danny Fenton." The teacher said.
"Of course…and it won't happen again." I said.
"I hope not." The teacher said.
The teacher looked like a man but was in fact a woman. She was about four feet tall and had her hair in a bun. Her hair looked as pale and as thick as straw. Her eyes were brown almost red. She was wearing some slacks and a normal gray t-shirt. I ignored her and went to the only seat available.
"I feel bad for the guy whose married to her." I muttered.
"Tell me about it." Said the person right next to me.
I noticed that guy right next to me was reading something in Spanish, I think. He finally put down the book and revealed himself to be a girl. She was the girl who got dropped of by the eye dude. She was just a normal girl. She hold out her hand and smiled.
"I'm Diana Oceana…. And you are?" She asked.
"I'm Danny Fenton….by any chance do you have a brother named Percy Jackson?" I asked.
"Yup….were you in a magazine? Maybe in a newspaper? I think I've heard your name before." Diana asked.
"Um….my par- adoptive parents are ghost hunters." I said.
"That must be it! Anyways…welcome to the club!" She said
"What club?" I asked.
"Didn't you say you were adopted?" She asked.
"Yeah. So what?" I said.
"So, I'm adopted too….well was." She said.
"How long have you've been in this school?" I asked.
"About 3 or 4 hours." Diana said.
Diana had a smile that might of foaled an adult. I knew she was hiding something other than the fact that she has a weird driver. I was new to the school and so was Diana, I guess that made us instant friends. Diana had weird sayings and weird personality. Every time she made a mistake she would stop smile and say "oops". She always looked at the bright side of things.
"What way is the cafeteria?" I asked.
"Um…maybe the same way those people are running from?" She asked.
"Wait what did you-"
I was interrupted by a loud explosion. I was about to run and go ghost but I couldn't leave Diana to fend for herself. I had to tell her the truth or fight. Either way I had to change. I took my chances.
"Diana do you believe in ghosts?" I asked.
"Yeah." She said.
"You know there's good ghosts and bad ones right?" I asked.
"Of course." She answered.
"Well can you keep a secret?" I asked.
"I would rather take a dip in a pool of acid than telling a secret." She said.
"What if I told you that there's people that are half ghosts?" I asked.
"I would tell you that would explain my cousin." She said.
"Okay…I'M GOING GHOST!" I shouted.
With that, two familiar rings appeared and transformed me in to Danny Phantom. Diana just stood there and looked at the ground. She looked up and had a desperate look on her face. Those sea green eyes were full of sadness they could almost start crying.
"I swear on the river Styx to never tell." She said.
"Okay then-"
"have you ever heard Greek myths about gods and goddesses?" She asked.
"Yeah why?" I asked.
"Well they're real. Sometimes gods fall in love with humans and have kids. Well, these kids are called demigods. Demigods are half human and half god. Well….I'm a demigodish girl." She said
"-ish?" I asked..
"I'm not a demigod exactly but I'm close to one." She said.
"Prove it." I said.
Diana closed her eyes. A few feet away a water fountain turned on and started shooting water. The water circled me but didn't touch me. Instead, it just made butterflies to form. Diana opened her eyes and shook her head.
"Ugh…I didn't want butterflies. I wanted little soldiers." She whined.
"So you're a demigod?" I asked.
"Close but yeah….promise not to tell anyone?" She asked.
"What was what you said? Oh yeah. I swear on the river Styx to never tell." I said.
"Good…lets go and show some monsters who they're dealing with." She said.
We both ran in and saw a sight so weird. A guy in a spider costume and some other people in costumes were fighting. The opponent was a huge dog like thing. At first I didn't know what to do since I didn't have my thermos but then I saw Diana take out a silver dagger. It wasn't a ghost just like me. I shouldn't of told Diana that I was a ghost, but she as a demigod.
"Hey ugly! Where are you going, the fight is right this was Senor Stupid." Diana yelled.
Senor Stupid thought of that as an invitation. He came running our way. Suddenly it slips in a puddle of water and slammed into a flying guy with a helmet. The helmet guy got smashed by some falling ruble. He was still alive and was cussing….a lot. Diana took out a sling shot from her jacket. She was going to a marble at Senor Stupid. She had a plan and it wasn't going to work.
Before I knew it I shot a ghost ray at her, which disintegrated her sling shot. She shot me a scared look like I just sent her to certain death. Hey, it wasn't my fault she was probably already heading towards that. She grabbed one of marbles and threw it at Senor Stupid. Right in mid air the marble turned into a spike ball. It penetrated Senor Stupid and for two seconds nothing happened. After those two seconds of silence, Senor Stupid blew up.
"I should of let you shoot the marble in the first place." I said.
"I wasn't your fault. Next time I should tell you my plans first." Diana said.
"While you're at that….GET ME OUT OF HERE!" Yelled the helmet guy.
"On it." The guy with a spider suit said.
"Um no hard feeling or anything but….what the hell were you thinking back there?" Asked the girl with the white cat costume.
"Um-I….What did you see?" Diana asked.
"I saw a giant do go boom." Said the karate kid.
"I saw a girl throw a spike ball at a huge dog." Said the guy in the spider suit.
"I saw a girl throw an explosive at a giant dog." Said the guy in a yellow suit.
"I saw a huge dog thing slam into me." Said the helmet guy.
"I saw a huge dog too." The girl with the while cat costume said.
"Uh-oh….this not good." I whispered.
"They all saw threw the mist." Diana muttered uneasily.
"What do you mean by 'saw threw the mist'?" Asked the guy with the spider costume.
"Can I just say something….STRANGER DANGER!" Yelled Diana as she turned into a two year old.
Everybody stared at her wide eyed. She just walked up to me and did something that surprised everybody. She came up to me and kicked me right in the knee. She started to run and everybody started laughing. Did I just get beat up by a little girl?
"What was that for?" I asked.
"You made me do this." She said.
"No I didn't." I said.
"Yeah you did." She complained.
"So what if I did?" I asked.
"I might stay like this for a week maybe a month!" She whined.
"Stop it you two. You fight like two little kids….or two siblings on a road trip." Said the guy with the spider suit.
"Let me introduce ourselves….I'm Iron Fist." The guy with the karate clothes said.
"I'm Nova." Said the guy with the helmet.
"I'm Power man." Said the guy with the yellow suit.
"I'm White Tiger." Said the girl in a white cat costume.
"I'm Spiderman." Said the guy with the spider suit.
"I'm Danny Phantom." I said.
"Okay if you guys aren't really going to tell us who you really are that means I can make up a name, right?" Asked Diana.
"No you have to be honest." I said.
"Okay, Okay….I'm Diana Oceana. Yeah I know weird name laugh if you want to." She said with her arms crossed.
"Was that so hard?" I asked with a smirk.
"Why are you here?" Asked Diana.
"Excuse me?" I asked.
"No not you her…. Artemis?" She asked with her eyes wide open.
"Oh… I'm just… Who wants a road trip?" She asked.
"NOOOOOO-" Diana's scream was drowned in a flash of light.
When I opened my eyes I was standing in a strawberry field. Diana now looked like a 12 year old but she was scary. She was arguing with Artemis. It had gotten to a point when Diana took out a silver dagger and threatened Artemis. I just had to jump in.
"Okay ladies lets just put the weapons down." I said.
"SHE BROUGHT YOU GUYS TO CAMP!" Diana yelled.
"And probably just saved your butts." Artemis said with a smirk.
"What's the big deal?" I asked.
"What's the big deal? She might of just interfered with your fate or worse-"
"Um why are we in a strawberry camp?" Asked Nova.
"Actually I was going to ask a certain girl a question." Artemis said looking at White Tiger.
"What?" She asked.
"Do want to going me and become one of my huntresses. Unfortunately we only accept girls-"
"Yeah Artemis basically just turns any boy that gets her mad into a jack lope. Plus, she makes you to swear off boy for eternity. Did I mention that she makes you immortal but takes it away temporarily if you fall in battle which happens very often and-"
"WILL YOU JUST SHUT UP!" Artemis yelled.
"Oh so the protector has turned. What about the oath you and Hades both did to protect me?" Diana asked.
"How can I forget if I have to take care of a marked soul. You know that you're a mix…. So impure. How did you even make it out of that crummy little foster home of yours?" Artemis asked with a cruel grin.
"Um I was basically Dying there. How would you like it being tortured 24/7? I bet you would of flashed out the first minuet." Diana growled.
"I've been in other situations that would of killed you in a matter of seconds." Artemis said.
"Why was I even named after you?" Diana asked.
"Actually it was my roman counter part and it was your mother's idea." Artemis said.
"Ladies no need to fight." I said getting between them.
"Move aside Casper." Artemis said.
"What did you call me? I don't care if you're a goddess. I'm going to kick some godly butt!" I yelled.
"Bring it on." Artemis said making a fist.
"Violence is never the answer." Iron Fist said.
"Shut it fortune cookie!" Diana yelled.
"What did you just say?" Iron Fist asked furiously.
" Awe I should of brought popcorn!" Spiderman whined.
"Um guys…. FIGHT!" Power man said trying to imitate one of those video referees voices.
"Hey bucket head I guess you and kitty over there are too much of wimps to fight." Artemis growled.
"I'm going to smack you so hard you're only going to see stars!" Nova yelled.
"STOP THE FIGHT" Some guy yelled.
Everybody stop throwing punches and froze. A guy in an orange shirt was staring wide-eyed at the fight. He looked like Diana, except Diana had brown hair and her eyes were a darker shade of green. He was armed with a yard long, bronze sword. He walked towards Diana and began to scold her as if she was his little sister. In the middle of everything something unexpected happened.
"Nova, don't look now but you have a pink dove above your head." I said.
"Wait, what?" He asked.
Diana and the guy next to her both looked at Nova. Suddenly two other symbols pop up. They had to be on White Tiger and Power man. White Tiger had a red owl floating above her head. Power man had spear and a shield floating above him. Diana looked around and her eyes widened.
"HIT THE DECK!" She yelled.
An arrow flew all of our heads and struck a tree. It was glowing green and had a note attached. I recognized it was from a ghost but there was no sign of one around. I unrolled the note and it read:
You are foolish to think you could hide from me. Danielle might of fail me but that doesn't matter. I have another plan that will work. My patron and Octavius have found a way to make a clone out of two drops of blood. He shall be stable but will be only half the prize. You might have the marked one but I shall make her another half. She might as well die in the process but it won't matter. A new golden era is upon us, you shall not take part. Skulker did good hunting the dud down.
- Vladimir Masters
I couldn't stop shaking. Vlad was coming, and even worse he is going to make another clone. This one might not be as nice as Dani. Who the heck is the marked one? Is it like a person with tattoo? Or maybe it was a person with a really bad sun burn. I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was the guy to Diana. I recognized him immediately. He was Percy, the guy who ran over me and the same guy who I ditched at McDonalds. I should seriously get out more often.
"What is it?" Percy asked.
"Um something about a making another clone my, arch enemy coming back. It's no big deal though." I said trying to reassure myself than him.
"Wait you have an arch enemy? No. Wait, another clone? A CLONE!?" Percy started to freak out.
"It's probably nothing." Diana said too calmly.
"It said something about a marked one…" I trailed off when I saw the expression on Diana's face.
"What?" I asked.
"I'm a marked soul." Diana said freaking out.
We had been on the hill for about an hour now and everybody was panicking. A Goth kid came jogging and looked at Diana. Diana was being hysterical. He looked at me and did a that little finger circling thing that meant that she was nutty. He wore a black hoodie and a black shirt with a skull on it. He was pale and had dark eyes. He looked around Diana's age, which was around twelve years or thirteen.
He noticed the rest of us and started walking towards me. He radiated some kind of power, it was old but yet ghostly. He glanced back at Diana who was starting to get some sense back into her. I notice something weird. He and Diana were both the same height and looked probably the some. Diana could possibly pass as a boy as easily as it was for me to turn ghost.
"Artemis you shall not follow me." Diana said trying to imitate a man's voice.
"I'm not going to let you screw up our lives anymore so I'm coming with." Artemis said.
"TOO BAD SO SAD!" Diana yelled as she ran.
"GET BACK HERE!" Artemis shouted as she ran after her.
"CAN'T CATCH ME I'M THE GINGER BREAD MAN!" Diana randomly shouted.
Diana ran into the woods and Artemis ran after her with her bow and arrow. Percy sighed and ran after them. I was thinking that Artemis might murder Diana right after that. Nico stared at the woods as if he expected an arrow to fly out and shoot him. I didn't doubt it would happen but with everything lately I wasn't so sure anymore.
"So do they fight often?" I asked.
"More than you can imagine." The boy said.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"I'm Nico di Angelo, son of Hades." He said.
"Okay…. What's up with Diana and Artemis?" I asked.
"Oh… It all happened about a week ago. Artemis was a month late and called Diana "impure". Right after that Artemis wanted Diana to join the hunt. Diana denied with several cuss words. After that Diana only was happy when her ipod has on full volume with her favorite type of music, alternative rock." Nico said.
"She likes alternative rock?" I asked.
"Yeah she's into anything that had dark or sentimental stuff in it. Sometimes they're dooms day songs or war songs. She's complicated." He said.
"So she would like it if war comes?" Nova asked.
"Um… no but she has prepared. She has a whole comprehension note book full of battle plans." Nico said.
"How do you know?" I asked.
"I saw her plans. She is even making an auto biography." Nico muttered.
"Let me guess, you saw it too?" I asked.
"No. Diana said nobody can read it until it's finished." Nico said with a big sigh.
"So are we going to stand here all day long?" Spiderman asked.
"Oh sorry." He said.
Nico led us to camp and introduced us to a centaur named Chiron. He looked at me as if he was doubting that if was really there. After that I got a little space on the floor in the Hermes cabin. I snuck out at midnight I knew the if the harpies caught me I would be instant dinner.
I went to the lake and thought about my new life. I wasn't proud of it and I still missed my family. I missed my annoying sister Jazz and my awesome friends. I missed Jack and Maddie, even though they weren't my biological parents they raised me as I was theirs. I was thinking about who my real parent could be when I heard somebody.
"You're up too. I thought I was the only one." A voice said behind me.
I almost jumped into the lake. I looked back and found a guy standing there. He looked familiar. I recognized him immediately. It was Percy but it wasn't. This guy's smile wasn't brave, it was plain mischievous. His hair was about two inches longer, but he really looked like Percy. I didn't know if I should asked him or keep trying to figure out his name. He sat next to me.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"I'm Kyle Weston and I'm guessing you're Danny Fenton." He said cheerfully.
"Yeah. What cabin are you in?" I asked.
"I'm in the Poseidon cabin." Kyle said.
"So, you're Percy and Diana's half brother?" I asked.
He stop smiling at the lake. He didn't answer but he clearly just stated one. He didn't want to talk about it. Under the moon light I could see him better. He was about sixteen or so. He was taller than me. I noticed that he only had one bead. He started smiling again.
"I heard you haven't been claimed yet." He said.
"Yeah how is it? I mean how do your half brothers and sisters act? Do they ignore you or do they freak out when they find out?" I asked.
He laughed. I noticed that he was remembering when it first happened to him. He looked at me and for the fist time I saw his eyes. They were silver, not grey, nor green but silver. His eyes were like Artemis' except hers were cold like the night but his were full of warmth. I was uncomfortable there and started to think of Sam.
"Everybody freaked out. People started calling me names and wanted me to pick sides. Playing myth magic with Nico got awkward since we discovered we were cousins. But I doubt that will happen to you. What will happen is a bunch of happy campers will crowd you. You'll be a big hit, trust me." Kyle said.
He said it too confident as if he knew it would happen. I started wondering if this guy could see the future. Sam would of thought it would be funny. I thought of calling Sam but we couldn't use cell phones here and I didn't had any drachmas. I started too feel miserable.
"Hey cheer up life only gets worse when it'll soon get better. It has it's ups and it's downs." Kyle said.
That only make me think. I went back to my cabin and sat in my little spot on the floor. How did Kyle see life?
The next morning I felt okay, a little too okay. I went down to the stables to asked Percy if he could tell Kyle something. Percy only stared at me like I hit my head on a rock. I tried asking him again but he kept giving me the same look.
"There's no Kyle at this Camp. Danny, are you feeling okay?" He asked.
"There has to be some mistake. Last night I was at the lake and Kyle was there. You know tall guy, long black hair, silver eyes, and is too optimistic about everything." I said.
"Nope never heard a guy like that." Percy said.
I was going to argue with him until Diana barged in with a plate full of cookies. I know what you're thinking, cookies yum but these were burnt. She was smiling too big and was kind of funny. Her hair was in a ponytail and she had glasses on. I noticed something, she had braces. How did she get them, I had no clue. Yesterday she didn't have braces but today she did. She was a strange girl.
"Want some?" She asked.
"Um no." Percy said.
"Why are they all burned up?" I asked.
"Two reasons. Number one: Diana can't work and oven. Number two: She thinks if she burns them she can eat them all. She just a huge cookie fan right next to the cookie monster." Percy said with a sigh.
"I can work an oven!" Diana protested.
"Nope you can't." Percy said.
"Hey Diana do you have a half brother named Kyle by any chance?" I asked.
"No." She said quickly.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Yeah." She said.
"You're a terrible liar." I said.
"wait a minuet I only have eight cookies." Diana said.
"What?" asked terribly lost.
"I had twelve cookies… CONNOR, TRAVIS, YOU'RE DOOMED!" Diana yelled as she ran out.
Nico ran in. He looked like a ghost but. He was catching his breath and looked right at Percy.
"Percy, Tyson just arrived….you might want to tell him about Diana." Nico said.
"Tyson came!" Percy exclaimed.
"Didn't you just hear me? What about Diana?" Nico asked.
I didn't know who Tyson was but I knew one thing, Percy only heard half of what Nico said. There was going to be complete chaos and madness. There was going to be a fight and I only had one thing to say….sweet. Sweet just sweet, another fight that could end horribly wrong.
I'm not going to be so active. Yeah I know, I'm sorry. I finals this week. We just begun so….wish me luck. I'm just saying this now, Kyle is not a part of Danny's imagination he is real and is Diana. Later you'll find out a troubling twist. Thank you to all the readers out there, yes even to the ones that don't like this. Yeah just for the record my friends call me "too optimist" because I'm a little too friendly even to bullies. Yeah I'm messed up :D
