Authors Note: I sincerely apologize to all of you for not updating sooner. My reasoning: school is a lot harder this year than I thought it would be. Homework has been murder. Also, I've been busy looking for a hedgehog! I decided that I wanted one when I decide a Chinchilla would be far too expensive. Can't wait to get him in two weeks!

I've been looking around at other stories and I realized that I have a TON of reviews for as few amount of chapters I've posted. Thanks guys for over 52 reviews!

Also major thanks for over 3,500 views!

Thanks to everyone who added this story to their favorites and subscribed!

IMPORTANT: I'm keeping first person POV with Danny. I'm also thinking about making a sequel to Extrinsic Souls. What do you guys think? Leave me a review or PM me!


Chapter 12: Double Trouble

Several things happened at once. The knives were thrown by Magnus, shrill screams pierced the now freezing air, and I just lay in the hospital bed paralyzed, helpless . . . scared. Time seemed to slow down around me as the metallic objects inched closer – closer to ending me. What did I do to deserve this? I didn't remember anything about my life, but I was sure I would remember if I did something bad or evil. Wouldn't I? I found myself dwelling on the girl named Sam. My life was over, even though I didn't remember having one, so how would I be able to help her now? I felt a close connection to her, but couldn't pin-point it exactly. Magnus had taken her, and a girl named Jazz, somewhere. Probably to torture them. Their bodies might even be stuffed in some secluded area where no one would ever be able to find them. And these people standing beside me now, these innocent caring people, were caught up in this. I knew they had some deep connection with me too. They might even be my fam –

Searing pain. Something wet and hot exploded on the side of my face. I gasped, but that only brought a whole new wave of agony. Red and white flashed across my eyes as I tried to look down, but couldn't move at all. Another knife stabbed through the pillow beside my arm when something amazing happened. Before another blade could drill itself into me, I fell right through the mattress. A tingling feeling swept over my entire body, and I recognized it as becoming intangible. But not of my own accord. Someone else's.

I could hear the dagger that had just been in me clatter to the floor as I passed through the bed. I landed softly on the edge of yet another hospital bed, and with all the strength I could muster, I pulled my head up just enough to get a glimpse of my rescuer.

Through the red curtain that fell across my view, I could barely make out the figure before me. Black suit, white gloves, white boots, white fringed hair, and glowing green eyes. I knew now that I had to be going into a state of delirium. But if my eyes and brain were telling me right, I had just been rescued by a second me.

My stab wound began throbbing unbelievably again, and fresh crimson gushed from the gash. White flashes danced across my eyes as they became less focused, and finally blinded my sight with no hope of seeing. My head started swimming, and I succumbed to my drooping eyelids and let the darkness take over, leaving myself to the mercy of the other Danny Phantom.


I know this was super short, but the next chapter will be longer! Hopefully I can get the next chapter updated sooner, too. Remember to tell me if you want a sequel or not. Thanks for reading!
