(A/n) Yay... School has started this month, what means no more often updates as you already noticed...

-The last time-

"Is it wrong that I came to say that I am sorry?" She asked.

"YES! IT IS! AND NOW GET LOST!" I screamed and transformed into my ghost form to prove my point, "And the next time I see you around... Well, let's just say that it won't be nice..." I said and noticed that she is going to reach out from her pocket, but gave up from it. It was probably some sort of small ecto-gun. Instead, she took out her weapon and shot me, she just walked away, not turning back. Maybe that's a good sign, maybe she'll leave me alone...

After Valerie left, I noticed that something moved behind the bush and not soon after, Lucy came out.

"DAN!?" she asked scared and confused.

~Chapter 20~ Blood Red Eyes

'Lucy's POV'

I didn't know why or how, but I just knew that something is wrong with Dan. He didn't call me, went to school, I didn't even see him walking around the town.

I just wanted to call him or his sister, but I knew that they probably won't answer me on the phone. Jazz answered only two times on my phone call out of twenty and Dan didn't answer even on one of my calls out of thirty. It was like he don't exist anymore.

I think that after a month of waiting to hear some news from Dan and Jazz is enough. It's probably a time to investigate some things.

I dressed up and pickles up some stuff like a mobile and wallet. I ran downstairs from my room and went towards the front door. "Dad! I'm going to visit my friend! The one that I talked about!" I shouted so I can be sure that my dad heard me since my mom was at work.

I didn't wait for an answer, instead I just went out and closed the doors behind me. I sighed and after a few steps forward, I looked back at my small house, it isn't much, I obviously can't say that I am rich or something, but I also can't say that I am poor since I do not feel like it, my family have enough money to live and sometimes to buy something that we don't need. I'm happy because it and wouldn't want it any other way, but I would be even more happy if Dan would tell me what's bugging him.

I started to walk towards Dan's house, it took me half an hour to get there, but I made it. When I came to his place, one thing caught my eye, it was some girl with brown skin and hair... At first I thought that she is Dan's girlfriend, but I put that thought in a corner of my mind when I saw the front door opened.

I quickly hid behind the bush and saw that a person that opened the doors was Jazz and when he saw that girl her face expression went from sadness (I suppose she was sad) into annoyed, she clearly didn't like that girl, but on the way she looked behind her, I think that she noticed me.

I didn't hear about what they talked about, but Jazz was clearly angry and then, I saw him, slowly walking downstairs, but then, his reaction surprised me. I saw that Dan's eyes flashed a blood red and I think that I also saw fangs coming out of his mouth (but I could be wrong).

He started to walk towards that girl. I took a quick glance at Jazz who was concerned, but she wasn't concerned about that girl, she was worried about Dan. I wonder why... Right now, I believe that everyone, including me, are more scared of him than he is scared of us!

But the thing that surprised me the most is how did he acted. He was violent, I silently gasped when I saw that he pushed Jazz and then threw that girl on the ground. Ok... She is definitely not his girlfriend.

Dan started to yell what brought me back from my thinking land. I got really confused when he said that the girl hunted him like an animal, I really wonder how and why did she haunt him, he is just a misunderstood sixteen year old boy, I just wish I could wish him a happy birthday that he had this month, but unfortunately no one didn't answer on my phone calls.

I figured out from all of that yelling, the girl came to apologize because of something, but Danny didn't accept it. He something whispered in his chin and after the girl said something, he yelled again at her and what happened next really surprised me, I even lost my breath.

A white ring showed around his body. It splited I'm two and one other went up while another ring went down. When the rings disappeared, instead Danny was standing the ghost that I saw in the park. I gasped again, big time. He opposes every theory known to humans! It's not possible for someone to be human and a ghost! But anyway, theories are just theories, I only know that I'm feeling disappointed in Dan right now, why didn't he just tell me!

When that girl left, I moved behind the bush and moved out of it and I looked up at those blood red eyes and they looked at me. "DAN!?" I asked, clearly confused. As I took a few steps back, he took a few steps forward, not saying a word...

"Just stay away from me!" I shouted, tears started to run down my face and at the end, I ran away...

Unfortunately, the luck was not on my side, as I walked down the street, a ghost showed and I screamed, but not soon after, Dan came, in his full glory, now fighting the ghost.

'Dan's POV'

I watched her how did she took a step back, so I took a step forward, I just wanted to hug her and explain her everything, but then, she started to run. I wanted to follow her, but somehow, Jazz's hand got on my shoulder, "Don't," she said and I sighed, maybe she is right... I sat on the ground and Jazz clearly saw that something is bugging me.

"It's not your fault..." she said, with a voice like mother's, "Give her some time to cool down, little brother... Come, let's go in the house." At that, I sighed again and got up, but at that moment, I heard a scream, it was Lucy's.

I jumped into the air and flew towards the scream. It didn't take me a lot to come where Lucy was, but I got really angry when I saw Techuns, flying around Lucy.

Without any word of warning, I flew towards him and punching him in his face. "Ha, Ghost Childe! Do you really think that you can beat me? Me, Technus, the master of all-" he started talking and I just rolled my eyes, "Will you quit the act and can we just start fighting? " I asked.

"Farewell, Ghost Child," Technus said and after that a car started floating. I would be happy if he threw it at me, but he threw it on Lucy!

As fast as I can, I flew towards her and turned us intangible. After the car crashed, everything that's left is Lucy and me in the middle of the car parts.

"Leave her alone!" I shouted and my eyes flashed more blood red from the anger.

"Why should I? Your stupid emotions will always be on your way, but I heard that you changed, not only your look. Then tell me child, where is that Dan Phantom that everyone are talking about?"

"You know wheat, you shouldn't have come here, now you'll pay!" I said, jumped into the air and threw one more punch at Technus and before he gained his balance, I shot a strong ecto-ray at him, slowly watching how did he started to get weaker and weaker. I just wanted him to dissolve him, but seeing that Lucy was behind me, staring at me, I didn't. Instead, I gave him one more chance to keep his afterlife. "If you know what's good for you, then you should run." I said with a cold and determine voice and watched his did Technus got up and slowly flew to the Ghost Zone, probably to recover.

I looked behind me and saw Lucy, glancing at me. I walked towards her. "Listen, you donot need to listen, just let me show you," I said and gave her a hand, waiting for her to grab it and when she did, I slowly raised us from the ground and started to float towards the stars.

I watched her how did she watched the stars, the Moon and the clouds in the dark sky with awe. I think that she will forgive me for keeping this a secret from her...

(A/n) So... How did it go? Do you like it? I hope you do... Now I need to get ready for the school if I do not want to be late, see ya soon (I hope)

Q: What do you think about my OC Lucy?
