Hi everyone, sorry for the wait. I was busy editing this chapter. It was a hard chapter to edit. Anyway here's Chapter 11. Danny Phantom is not mine. Enjoy.
Chapter #11 The New Flashback
Selene didn't go to sleep after Danny left. Instead she laid in bed, staring at the eerie green glow radiating from the ghost shield surrounding the house outside. For some reason she had a feeling that the shield was not enough to protect her or anyone else in the house from the man in gray that attacked her English teacher and tried to kidnap her because what ever that man in gray was, he wasn't a ghost or human. He wasn't even a halfa. He was something else. The question is who and what this man in gray is.
For the rest of the night, Selene looked at her drawings in her sketchbook until she fell asleep around 3:00am. She slept until her alarm clock woke her up. The school day went by slowly. Selene didn't talk to anyone, not even her friends or Mr. Lancer. At the end of the day. Selene walked outside and sat at a picnic table under the shade of a tree. She wanted time alone. Time to think.
"What was I thinking?" Selene thought. "Wanting to meet my godfather? Now my English and Biology teacher is claiming he's my godfather. Was he smoking or something?"
"Hey, Selene!"
Selene's thoughts were interrupted when she heard someone calling her name. She turned to see Danny running towards her.
"Hey, Selene, what up?" he said.
Selene frowned. She didn't want to talk to anyone right now.
"Hey, Dan." Selene grumbled.
Danny's smile turned into concern.
"Selene, are you alright?" Selene gritted her teeth.
She didn't want to talk to anyone and she was having trouble keeping her temper under control so she said nothing.
"Miss Strong, there you are."
Danny and Selene turned to see Mr. Lancer walking towards them. Selene's anger boiled on. She didn't want to see Mr. Lancer right now.
"What do you want, Mr. Lancer?" Selene asked coldly.
Mr. Lancer blinked.
"Selena, outside of the school you can call me Dave." Mr. Lancer said, ignoring Selene's cold look. "I'm your godfather, remember?"
"You're not my godfather!" Selene snapped.
Mr. Lancer and Danny stared at Selene completely shocked at what Selene said.
"Selene, why not?" Mr. Lancer asked. "Why would you say that?"
Selene's lips pulled into a tight line. "Because you can't be!"
With that Selene left. Danny went after her, leaving Mr. Lancer standing near the picnic table, watching the two teens in confusion.
"Selene, Selene! Wait up!"
Selene stopped walking and turned around, waiting for Danny to catch up. Danny stopped when he saw Selene's face stained with tears and her ruined make up. Her eyes were red and filled with confusion and regret.
"Selene, what's wrong?" Danny asked.
Selene stared at Danny for a few minutes before saying.
"Ever since I was five I wanted to meet my godfather. Now, I'm not sure. So many changes have happened. Some good, some horrible, some I don't want."
Danny closed his eyes and bowed his head. He understood what Selene was telling him. He remembered back when he first discovered his powers after the accident in his parents lab. He was scared out of his wits, afraid he's been killed and will never be able to be a normal teenager again until he accidentally went intangible and fell through the floor of his bedroom and landed in the kitchen. Changing back to human in the process.
"She hates not being in control as much as I do." Danny thought as he raised his head and opened his eyes. He gasped when he saw a familiar being hovering behind Selene.
"Selene run!" Danny shouted as he transformed into Danny Phantom.
"What?" Selene turned around and gasped.
Hovering in front of her was the being from her flashback. Black hair, red eyes, pale green skin, dressed in a white vampire outfit. He grinned at her. Revealing two sharp fangs.
"Well, well Selena Strong." he said. "An honor to see you again. It's been what? Five years since the last time we met?"
Danny felt hot anger boiling in his blood. How dare he talk to her that way? He thought. After what he did?
"What do you want, Plasmius?" Danny asked coldly as he hovered in front of Selene, blocking her from his archenemy's view.
"Nothing much from you, Daniel." Vlad said, slyly. "But I'm glad to see Selena is not Blaine's bride yet."
Danny's anger increased a bit. He was tired of not knowing what was going on.
"What are you talking about? Who's Blaine and why does he want Selene?"
Then it happened again.
The sun just set over the horizon. Ten year old Selena Strong sat in the corner of her cell. Her arms covered in injection holes. It has been a day since she was taken from her home and three hours since the man dressed like a vampire injected that weird liquid into her. She just sat there, legs pulled up to her chin and her right arm wrapped around them. With her left hand she rubbed her sore neck. Where she got bitten. The weird thing is: she didn't know how she got the bite in the first place. She had it since she woke up strapped to the table in the lab. Her parents never let their children have pets. But it felt like a dog bite or something, and she felt strange. Almost stronger and her senses were sharper then normal.
"How did I get this?" Selene thought as she rubbed her neck.
She didn't think the man who injected the liquid into her was the one who bit her. Because for some reason, she could tell it wasn't him, but someone else. The question is who. A few minutes later, she stopped rubbing her neck and buried her face in her knees. She wanted to go home. She wanted to see her brother again.
"Hello, child." a cold voice said.
Selene looked up and saw a man dressed in a black cloak standing in front of her looking down at her. His face was hidden under the hood of his cloak so she couldn't tell who it was. But for some reason. She knew this person wasn't good news. Then Selene started to feel light-headed and weak. She leaned against the wall behind her. Trying to stay awake but she couldn't. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Selene woke up when she heard a loud crashing noise. She sat up and saw the man in black fighting the vampire in white. The vampire fired red beams at the man in black, who dodged them with ease. Selene tried to stand but her legs felt numb and she lost her balance. She placed her hand on the wall to stop herself from falling. Then Selene noticed something. The wall of the room she was in was curved not flat and she felt something go inward as her hand made contact with the wall. Then she felt a shock tore through her body. She screamed before everything went black.
Selene screamed as she transformed and disappeared in a puff of blue smoke. Danny turned to see Selene transform and disappear, leaving blue smoke where she was standing.
"Selene!" he shouted.
But it was too late. She was gone.
Strange.Is that the real reason why Selene is denying the fact that Mr. Lancer is her godfather? And what does Vlad want with her? Find out in the next few chapters of Bride to Be.
