Spectra's POV

I tap my nails on my desk. It's a new school, a new lot of students, but it's the same misery. Misery is what keeps me young and beautiful and I want to be beautiful forever. I almost succeeded, too. The first time I was going to kill that sweet, perky redhead, but Danny Phantom intervened. Ugh! The little brat! Though his misery is delicious, I don't know if it's worth the trouble to keep going after him. I almost had him again when I lured everyone to the hospital and made them sick. I wanted his halfa DNA, but the little brat tricked me. It took me weeks to revert back to my original form.

"Bertrand!" I call sweetly.

Bertrand came hurrying into my office. "Yes, Ms. Spectra?"

"Go get me a cup of coffee," I tell him.

"Is that all?" he asks.

"For now," I reply.

Just as quickly as he came in, he leaves.

I look at my schedule. I have another forty-five minutes before my next victim comes in. It gives me time to think of my next move.

I go back to thinking about Danny Phantom. Yes, his misery is delicious and it comes off him in waves, but is it worth it? Of course it is! What am I thinking? It's been a very long time since I felt that level of misery in someone so young. The younger they are, the better, and teenagers are always ripe for the picking, what with puberty and all. But how to do it? How to capture Phantom and drain him?

My thoughts turn to the Goth girl. Sam is her name, right? She'll do perfectly. If something happens to her, Danny will be downright miserable and I will be able to suck up all that precious energy. I can be young for years!

Bertrand returns with my coffee and leaves again.

I sit back in my chair with the coffee in my hands, thinking of how to go about doing the deed. I think I could get the girl depressed enough to hurt herself or someone else. It may take a bit of time, but I'm certain I can do it. The problem is getting back to Amity Park without Phantom knowing I'm there until it's too late for him to do anything.

I think over how I am going to get around that obstacle when there's a knock at my door. I look at the clock. My, my, forty-five minutes certainly fly by when you are planning.

"Come in," I say cheerfully.

A girl with black hair and dressed all in black opens the door and stands in the doorway. "Hi, Ms. Spectra."

"Hello, my dear," I say with a smile. "Come in and have a seat."

The girl sits down in the chair on the other side of my desk. She's perfect! Not that Phantom would go for her, but she's the perfect test subject for my plan. I grin at the prospect of being the downfall of Phantom. And this girl is going to play such a large roll, and she won't even know it.


I know it's been a while since I posted anything for this story. I decided to do Spectra because I could. I guess I'll be doing a lot of other characters now, so if you had someone you wanted to see in this story, you're probably going to see them eventually. I want to touch base with the good and the bad. As for the girl at the end of this chapter, this is the last you are going to hear of her. I'm not going to have any big fight scenes in this; this is just simply thoughts from people in Danny's life, good and bad. Some of it will be villains plotting to get their revenge and some of it will be just random things happening in a characters' life and Danny's. I am trying so hard to stay in character.
