(P.S. I know this is a bit late and a bit short. I just have a lot to do. I mean, a lot, a lot. School, even if it's middle school-I'm in eighth grade is tough. See, I do a lot of volunteer work, so that takes up some time. I am in National Junior Honor Society, so I have lots to do for that. I'm in my school art club, another things to do. I'm in choir, which isn't as much but I have a solo competition coming up to practice for. Not to mention regular homework plus the fact of my AP classes' homework. If it was up to me the only thing I would be doing is volunteering-I like doing that, writing, drawing, and working out all of my free time. Sorry.)
Chapter 9-Explaing:
Lysander:
I knew there was something rather odd about Daniel from the beginning. Then when those pictures showed up around school it raised my suspicions. After all, Daniel had too many scars on his body. Many, many scars. Hmm…He kind of looks like Inviso-Bill that Iris showed us. Strange. Daniel looked at us with wide eyes. He rubbed the back of his neck nervously.
"Umm…Could you just erase this from your memories and pretend it never happened?"
Both Castiel and I nodded, 'no.' Daniel, or at least I am pretty sure it's Daniel, sighed.
"I have a lot of explaining to do, don't I?"
Both Castiel and I nodded, 'yes.' Daniel landed on the ground. Hmm…this was when I realized that the time he was speaking he was a foot off the ground. The two white rings formed around his waist again and transformed him again. Now, he was the Daniel that I've grown to think of as a friend.
A bit later:
I, for the first time in my whole life, was utterly speechless. Castiel's jaw was on the ground, so to speak. Daniel had taken us back to his apartment, where he talked to his sister. Jasmine left and Daniel seated us on the couch. He explained….everything. He explained that he was from Amity Park. He explained that his real name was Daniel Fenton (Castiel got a laugh out of that). I suppose that Iris was correct after all, I wonder why he's 'dead' so to speak, as his parents said. . He explained how his parents were ghost hunters. The most hardest thing to comprehend was why Daniel had to leave. He explained his friend's betrayal, his girlfriend (Castiel seemed mildly impressed when Daniel mentioned that his girlfriend was 'kick-ass'), what happened with his sister, and his parents. He explained about a Ghost Portal, ghosts, halfas….him…. He also explained that the newspapers always got his name wrong (Castiel was still laughing at Inviso-Bill), that his name was really Danny Phantom as a ghost. Of course, he didn't explain everything about the things as a ghost (he did explain a few pathetic ghosts like the Box ghost, that even I laughed at). It was, however, a lot to take in. When I first suspected Daniel, and when Nathaniel mentioned Fenton and Fonten, I thought that perhaps he was a victim of child abuse. This was something even more horrid and dire. Daniel was something that, to him, shouldn't exist. He was something that most people didn't think are real. Castiel, sometimes he's too….Castiel, didn't really believe Daniel. Daniel looked at him dubiously.
"Seriously? You still don't believe me?"
"Come on! Ghosts, and you being half ghost? No way, no how."
Daniel seemed to think for a moment. Then a devilish glint was in his eyes.
"Castiel, are you familiar with the term, overshadowing, or more commonly known as possession?"
"Why?"
"I'm half ghost, Castiel. Even a halfa can overshadow…."
Castiel still didn't think Daniel was telling the truth. I, for one, do believe Daniel. I've always believed in ghosts, as does Leigh and Rosayala. Daniel smirked and it sent shivers down my spine- not that anyone could tell. The rings washed over him once again, I believe he referred it as his 'ghost form.' A very devilish, evil glint entered Daniel's eyes as he looked at Castiel. Castiel even seemed a bit unnerved. Daniel vanished, and we looked around. He soon appeared again with a video camera. He turned it on and placed it on the table. Then he looked at Castiel again.
"Sweet, sweet, blackmail."
"Wah?"
Daniel flew, actually flew, towards Castiel at a high-speed. I waited for collusion, collusion that didn't happen. Daniel was…gone…I looked at Castiel and noticed something different. His eyes flashed green for a moment. Hm….is it possible… I shook my head. Castiel, or perhaps it was Daniel, gave me a thumbs up and a smile. Then he turned to the camera. He….I cannot unsee what just happened. He…danced….in a very girly, non-Castiel way, I might add. I don't even know where he got a tutu from. A pink, frilly, little girl tutu that just made his ballerina routine complete. While I may be against blackmail and possession (?), I had to admit it was rather humorous. I fail to see a point to it, but it is funny nonetheless.
'Castiel' did one last twirl as he jumped into the air. He landed in a splits. Then, the camera was off and Daniel was beside me. He was laughing. Castiel looked around confused.
"What happened? Why am I in a tutu?"
Daniel laughed even more and played the video back so Castiel could watch. He had ripped off the tutu by now. His eye twitched and he glared at Daniel.
"Fine…I believe you…"
Daniel was laughing so hard that I found it fascinating when he was in the air. He was laughing as his body was distorted and turned into a complete circle. Soon, he composed himself and landed on the ground. The rings appeared around his waist and he was, according to him, in 'human form.' Castiel seemed unhappy as he crossed his arms and huffed. Daniel smiled.
"Sorry, but it was funny….besides, if you could do what I can do, you would've done the same thing…"
That seemed to get through to Castiel as he 'softened.'
"You're right."
Castiel plopped on the couch.
"So, Casper…What were you talking about on the phone with Sammy…"
"Wha," Daniel sputtered in confusion, then he seemed to realize what Castiel was speaking about, "oh…well…Her name's Sam, she's my girlfriend, as I told you. The thing is…Casper High…"
"Your old school," I questioned. Daniel nodded.
"Yeah in Amity Park… well…You know how the school's hosting that amusement park thing? A very large festival that people from all over are coming to?"
"The Fall-Out Festival," I nodded. The Fall-Out Festival was a very large festival here in Sweet Amoris. Each year it took place in different parts of the state, this time it was our turn. As a result, our school is helping set it up. People from all over come. It's that big.
"Well," Daniel said as he brushed a hand through his hair, "Casper High is having a field trip….to here….."
