Danny's happy time is over now. Time for more torture!
Me: Lucky for you, Danny, I have considered giving you a short brake and you will get it...next chapter.
Danny: Wait, how short?
Discalimer: Just the usual.
The next morning came way too fast. Jazz ran into his room and shook him awake, telling him that the agents would be here in ten minutes. Danny grumbled out of bed and was pulled downstairs by his frantic sister.
"Jazz, whoever it is, I'm sure I can handle it." Danny said calmly.
"Well, they haven't had very good choices so far." Jazz snapped.
"I think that they've run out of human enemies." Danny joked.
"Just be careful." The red-head warned.
"I will." Danny moaned tiredly.
"Promise?"
"Yes, Jazz, I promise." Danny was trying to keep his cool.
"I guess that's them." Danny assumed. He headed toward the door, where Jack, Maddie, and the two guards were waiting. Jazz put her hand on his shoulder. Danny turned around.
"Do I get a goodbye hug?" She joked.
"Jazz." Danny snapped.
"Please?" She put on the big cute puppy eyes and stuck out her lower lip.
"Fine." Danny murmured, giving his sister a quick hug before walking to the door.
"Wrists." One ordered.
Danny put out his arms and they snapped the cuffs on him. His hands were bound once more. He sighed as he stared at the accessory.
The two men led him out to the black car again. He routinely got into the middle and was secured by the two muscular men.
"So…I'm in for two more houses?" Danny questioned.
"Yes." The man to his right confirmed.
"Can you tell me who they are?" Danny inquired.
"We are told not to release any information." The guard replied.
Danny sighed. This was getting really boring. The car slowed down once again, and once again, Danny was thrown into the sunlight. The area surrounding them didn't look too nice. The buildings were old and a few of them were condemned. The air wasn't as clean and had a certain smoky look and smell. They were stopped right outside what looked like an old apartment building.
"Okay, calm down. It could be anyone in that building. Besides why would she want me to live with her? There is no guarantee that it's Valerie." Danny thought to himself nervously.
The gigantic men lead him up a series of stairs. The hallways were dimly lit and the whole place smelled a little dusty. They finally stopped climbing and went down a hall. Several doors passed by as they moved on. Danny was growing extremely nervous. They were getting awfully close to Valerie's apartment. The two men finally stopped outside a door, but not just any door, the entrance that he least wanted to stop at, Valerie's door.
The man on Danny's right banged on the old door. Noises were heard from the other side. The doorknob turned and a tall, dark-skinned man with scarce black hair pulled open the door, Valerie's Dad.
"Oh, great. They probably just want to torture me." Danny mumbled to himself.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Grey?" The man to Danny's left questioned.
During this time, Danny took the opportunity to slide further and further back.
"Yes." Valerie's Dad answered.
"Have you recently signed up for the trial adoption of Danny Phantom?" The guard questioned.
"Yes." The African-American man replied, waiting for them to go on.
Danny was shocked, but continued slipping away. He was so close. Just a little farther and he could make a break for it.
"Don't even try it, kid." One of the guards ordered, grabbing Danny by the shirt collar.
Danny gave a small yelp as he was pulled back.
Danny stared up helplessly at Mr. Grey. This was not going to end well. The guards walked away, now that Danny couldn't really escape.
"Daddy, who is it?" Valerie asked from another room. She walked through into the main room and caught a glimpse of the door. She noticed Danny right away. When you think about it, he's kind of hard to miss. White hair, glowing green eyes, and black and white HAZMAT suit? Yeah, obvious.
"You?!" Valerie yelled, racing to the door angrily.
Danny flinched. He was at the mercy of the girl who wanted to destroy him.
Her father was the only thing that kept her from pummeling him into a pulp. "Why are you here Phantom?"
"To tell you the truth, I have absolutely no idea. It's not like I came here of free will." Danny answered truthfully.
Valerie wanted to tear him apart.
"Valerie, stop, now." Her Dad commanded.
"But Daddy, he's the ghost that destroyed our lives!" Valerie pointed out furiously.
Danny just looked around in confusion. What was going on? Why didn't Valerie's Dad let her attack him?
Valerie's Dad grabbed both Danny and Valerie by the arm and pushed them onto separate couches.
"Here is the deal;" He started sternly. "The fights between the two of you are getting way too dangerous. To fix this problem, Phantom is staying here so that you two can work out a truce. Valerie; no weapons. Phantom: no powers. Got it?" The two teens nodded with mouths wide open.
"Good." Damon said sternly. "The quicker you to come to an agreement, the easier it will be for you."
This was the beginning of a very awkward day.
