Hi I'm back again. I still don't own Danny Phantom and I don't own Order of the Phoenix. Anyway here's Chapter 14. Enjoy!
Chapter #14 What Happened
"I was heading back to my apartment in New York after a gig when I ran into Blaine. We've been dating for a while. I hadn't heard from him for two weeks before that night. He never talked about himself much, except he works at a hospital in Manhattan. That night I found out why. He said he wanted to start a family someday. I told him I wanted to start a family too, after I get my music career started. Then he did something I didn't expect. He tried to bite my neck. It was then I realized what he was. A monster." she said that with hatred in her voice.
"So, I kicked him where it hurts and ran off. For three months, I never saw or heard from him again and I was having trouble getting gigs. I needed money badly. So I got a job as a waitress at a bar near my apartment and wrote songs during my spare time.
Blaine was the reason why I wrote 'Remember'. It was late December when I got a break. I was discovered when I proformed my new song 'Remember' at the bar I was working at. I had it all. A band, a career, a great life. 'Remember' became a great hit. All of that change in December of 1990. I did my last concert here in Amity Park. My band and I were heading back to New York when the plane's engine caught fire and the plane crashed. The plane blew up, my band was destroyed. Along with me and my dreams."
"That's horrible." Selene said with sympathy.
"If that's what happened back then." Danny said. "Then why do you want to take over the world?"
"I didn't have a good childhood." Ember answered. "My mom died from cancer when I was 12. My dad turned to drinking after my mom's death. He's a horrible drunk. My little sister Tracy and I lived in fear. I worked at a restaurant to make ends meet. School was a nightmare for the both of us. Harsh teachers and classmates only added more problems. When I turned 17 I took my sister and left for New York. We lived in a small apartment in Brooklyn. Tracy went to college when she turned 18 and we hadn't seen each other since. I was alone. Not many people who offered me gigs respected me much. Because to them I was nothing but a dumb teenager." Ember said that with venom in her voice. "I wanted to show them all."
Selene flinched. Danny placed his hand on her shoulder and mouthed 'it's ok'. He returned his attention to Ember.
"So, how did you and Selene meet?"
"We met Selene five years ago in the Ghost Zone." The Ghost Writer said.
"Ember and I were talking when a strange whirlpool appeared and she appeared. I never had seen a child like her so scared and confused. She went back into the whirlpool when she saw us."
"We followed her through the whirlpool and we found ourselves in a weird lab and saw two men fighting. One I recognized on the spot. My former boyfriend Blaine. After he knocked the other man out, he noticed me and said it was great to see me again."
Ember clutched her fists, her voice filled with venom and hatred for Blaine.
"I knew it was a lie. When I saw Selene laying on the floor. I noticed two bite marks on her neck and I realized what happened. Blaine wanted a family so badly he'll do anything to get what he wanted."
Danny flinched. Mr. Lancer clutched his fists in anger.
"That bastard." he thought, closing his eyes.
Danny noticed. "Mr. Lancer?"
Mr. Lancer opened his eyes. "Huh?"
"Are you ok?" Danny asked.
Mr. Lancer shook his head. "No Daniel, I'm not ok." he answered as he rubbed his eyes. "I just...can't imagine that a monster killed my best friends and tried to turn Selene into a monster like him."
"Speaking of Selene, where did she go?" Ember asked.
"What?" Danny turned to find Selene was gone. "Selene?"
Everyone started to get worried. Danny transformed and hovered a foot in the air.
"You all stay here. I bet I know where Selene is."
Danny turned intangible and went through the floor. He remembered telling Selene about the Ghost Portal last night. When he reached the lab, he found Selene in her vampire ghost form. Pounding on the doors of the Ghost Portal.
"Why can't I go through these doors!" she cried in rage.
"The doors are ghost proof." Danny said.
Selene turned and saw Danny hovering a foot in the air in front of her.
"Open the portal!" she shouted. "I know only you or your family can open it!"
"Not until you tell me why you want to go into the Ghost Zone."
"I said." Selene snarled as her eyes glowed a brighter shade of blue and she raised her hands above her head. Blue energy formed and sparked like fireworks in her palms and fingertips.
"Open the portal!"
Danny gasped and jumped back a foot. Her singing in harmony voice sounded more like growl of a tiger. She fired blue energy at Danny. He dodged them with ease and fired a few blasts at Selene in defence. He gasped as he saw Selene absorbed his blasts. She grinned and raised her hands and fired Danny's blasts back at him. Danny dodged them all except one. It hit him in the stomach and sent him flying into the wall.
Danny groaned and looked up to see Selene walking towards him. Splitting herself into three separate Selene clones as she walked. Danny watched in horror.
"Oh my God! She can split herself?" he thought.
He yelped as two Selene clones grabbed his arms and followed the third Selene clone who led them to the Genetic Lock. Which opens and closes the Ghost Portal. Dragging Danny with them, Danny tried to break free but the Selene clones grip was too strong.
"Selene, please don't do this." Danny plead desperately.
The Selene clones looked down at him with regret and sadness.
"I'm sorry, Dan." The Selene clones said. "I have to see them again."
"But Selene you don't have to do this." Danny said. "Please don't do this."
The Selene clones shook their heads.
"Sorry, Danny."
When they reached the Genetic Lock. The third Selene pulled off Danny's white glove and placed his thumb on the scanner. The doors opened, revealing a green swirling whirlpool. Then suddenly, the three Selene clones placed Danny on the floor and fired blue ectoplasmic goo at his wrists and ankles. Pinning him to the floor. Then the Selene clones merged together leaving one Selene hovering a foot in the air, looking down at Danny.
"This is for your safety, Daniel." Selene said, her face and voice filled with regret. She dropped Danny's glove on the floor beside Danny and flew into the portal.
"SELENE!" Danny shouted as he struggled to break free from his binds.
"What's going on?"
Danny turned to see his English teacher, the Ghost Writer and Ember standing in the lab looking at him confused.
"Whoa, what happened to you?" Ember asked.
"And where's Selene?" The Ghost Writer added.
"She forced me to open the portal. She wanted to see her parents again." Danny answered.
"You mean she's in the Ghost Zone?" Mr. Lancer asked.
Danny nodded.
He concentrated and a green glow surrounded him, breaking him free from his binds and hovered a foot in the air.
"Order of the Phoenix! We have to find her." Mr. Lancer exclaimed.
"And fast." Ember said "Her parents aren't there and Blaine's servant has connections in the Ghost Zone."
"How do you know this?" Danny asked as he picked up his glove and put it on.
"We seen him talking to some of the ghosts there." The Ghost Writer answered.
"Ok, we'll take the Spectre Speeder." Danny flew towards the Spectre Speeder and opened the door. He was about to get in when Mr. Lancer pushed him aside.
"Mr. Lancer what are you doing?" Danny asked in surprised.
"I'm coming with you." he answered as he climbed into the front seat of the Spectre Speeder.
"No, Mr. Lancer it's dangerous and you don't know how to use the equipment."
"You remember who signs your English papers, Mr. Fenton." Mr. Lancer snarled. "And who's my goddaughter."
Danny sighed in defeat. "Ok. Let's go."
Danny, the Ghost Writer and Ember flew into the Spectre Speeder. Danny closed the door and started the engine. The Spectre Speeder hummed to life.
"Oh Selene." Danny thought as he steered the Spectre Speeder towards the portal. "Please be ok."
Oh no, Will Danny and the others find Selene? And where are her parents if they're not in the Ghost Zone? Find out in the next few chapters of Bride to Be.
