Disclaimers: Author doesn't own Danny Phantom, blah blah blah, author only wrote the story.
Ellie slowly made her way up the stairs to Writer and Clockworks apartment. She thought over the many ways she could break the news to them about her bet with Dash. They were not going to be happy that much she knew for sure. As she reached the top floor she took out her key and stepped into the apartment. Soft music played in the area as she go closer to the lounge area.
Once there she found Clockwork leaning back on a lunge chair with Writer sitting between his legs and leaning his back against the time masters chest. Writer was reading a book calmly as Clockwork ran his fingers through his hair contently. Ellie smiled and walked up behind them to slowly slide her hands from Clockwork's shoulders down his chest and onto Writer's shoulders and let her palms rest on his chest as she leaned forward and placed her chin on her white haired lovers' shoulder.
"Hey guys. Missed you both." She mumbled making Clockwork chuckle and give her a small kiss on the cheek while writer brought a hand up and hold one of her hands.
"Sorry I've been busy lately." Clockwork apologized but Ellie shook her head and kissed his forehead softly.
"It's alright we understand." She assured.
"See, she agree's with me now calm down." Writer grumbled and placed his book mark in before closing the book with a soft pap and laying it on the table. "So how have you been our dear Ellie?"
"Well...not bad but I uh... have something I have to tell you guys about and you won't like it." That certainly got their full attention as they both sat up and looked at her seriously.
"Are you hurt?" Writer asked.
"Did something happen?" Clockwork threw in quick.
"No. No. Nothing life threatening...just well..." Ellie took a deep breath. "I made a bet with Dash on Halloween that I'd make the better room in Mr. Lancer's Haunted house and not get detention. And well I lost so I have to follow through and do my half the bet."
"A teacher had you do his work to avoid detention... pathetic." Writer growled and rubbed his head. Clockwork chuckled at him before turning back to Ellie.
"So what was the bet?"
"I have to...go on a date with him...tonight...and uh... kiss him when it's over." Ellie twiddled her fingers together nervously and glanced up to see Clockwork's face blank and shock and Writers eye twitching in irritation. She would have found the sight comical if not for the circumstances. "But I'm going to talk him out of the kiss! Now way I'll do that I promise!"
Writer got up from his chair and paced the room without a word and Clockwork didn't say anything either. Ellie's nerves were put on end as she waited for a response. She couldn't tell exactly what they were feeling right now and didn't know what to do.
"Why did you agree to such a dare Ellie." Writer asked calmly.
"I-I didn't think I'd loose and...and I wasn't really thinking...I just didn't want to back down..."
"She's young Writer, you can't blame her for being a bit head strong and making a bad bet." Clockwork reasoned and Writer glared at him.
"Doesn't this bother you even a little?" Clockwork shrugged and took Ellie's hand in his own.
"A bit. But I trust Ellie and if I stomp my feet and tell her not to go with Dash tonight then I'd be turning her into a lair. Surely that is why you haven't done as such."
"Of course not." Writer sighed and walked around the couch and surprised Ellie by hugging her close. "Of course I trust you. I just don't want to loose you to that jock or well...someone with a pulse."
Ellie smiled softly and wrapped her arm around him and tugged Clockwork up to join them, which he did. They held one another tightly with Ellie between them and stood there contently. Ellie nuzzled Writers exposed neck lightly and sighed.
"I don't care about a pulse, as is I only have half a one really. But...I'm sorry... this was really stupid of me to do I know. It's not fair to either of you."
"It's alright Ellie, we just some times forget that you are still very young and will make a few mistakes that we most likely did in our youth." Clockwork rubbed her hair gently.
"He's right." Writer agreed. "And I'm glad you told us this, but we will be following you both tonight; CLOSELY!" He held her tighter.
"If you're so concerned then we have a way of keeping the boy at bay." Ellie looked over her shoulder at Clockwork who was ginning at Writer. Once he caught on Writer started to grin as well.
"That is true. Hold still dear~" Writer teased and leaned down to her neck and placed a light kiss there making Ellie shiver. Clockwork held her tighter to him to keep her still as Writer started to lick at her neck.
"Don't worry dear, this is to make us feel more...secure about this." Clockwork nuzzled her cheek. "And I'm sure you'll enjoy it as well." he chuckled lightly in her ear.
True to Clockwork's word; Writer's hand moved down Ellie's shirt and snaked it's way up the back pressing into her milky white skin and Clockworks chest. Ellie arched her back away from his hand at the cold touch but couldn't go far in the other's hold. She shivered against them and bit her lip making Clock grin wide at the sight. He moved his own hand down and slid it up her shirt and gently cupped her breast just as Writer started to suck hard at her neck. Ellie let out a small whimper and pressed back against Clock's hand and Writer's mouth eagerly. Clockwork leaned down and whispered in her ear over Writer's head so they'd both hear him.
"Is that lace little Ellie?" He ran him fingers over her bra feeling the texture before squeezing and making her gasp. "How...Enticing~" His huskily added as he continued to play with her.
"S-Spectra got it...for me..." Ellie gripped her hands in Writers shirt and shook in pleasure from Clockwork's teasing and Writers ministrations to her neck. She moved one hand up and placed it on the back of his head and moved her fingers through his hair. After a few more moments he leaned back and watched at his hickey turned into his signature ghost mark on Ellie's neck. He looked at her panting blushed face and kissed her lips softly as he tilted her head to the other side.
Clockwork spun her around letting Writer be the one to hold her still as he worked on marking her himself. He kissed her lips, then the corner of her mouth, then her cheek, and after that kissed a line down to her neck where he bit lightly making her gasp again. He smirked against her skin and started working on leaving a hickey to match Writer's. Writer slipped both hands up the front of her shirt and gently messaged her breasts taking great joy in each little sound she made. He was surprised when she jumped suddenly. He pressed closer to her to hold her tighter against him and felt the reason that she jumped.
The Time Master slid his hand around her waist and was fondling her rump and rubbing the back of his hand against Writer groin in the process making him groan lightly. Ellie shivered at the sound and moved a hand to to feel along Clockwork's chest through the thin material of his button up shirt and placed her other hand over one of Writer's wrists but didn't try to pull his hands back. Ellie leaned her head back and rested it on Writers to kiss him and he happily returned it.
A little while longer of fondling and kissing ensued before Clockwork pulled back with a very please grin and a large purple gear starting to appear on Ellie's skin. Ellie was breathing hard and would clearly not be standing if not for Writer's tight hold on her. He removed his hand from her rump after one more squeeze as Writer took his hands off her breasts and wrapped his arms around her waist to keep her close to him and keep her standing. Clockwork leaned in and kissed her lightly on the lips.
"Are you okay our Ellie?" She smiled back at him and wrapped her arms around his neck to pull him in tight.
"I love you both." She said once she regained her composer.
"I love you both as well." Writer nuzzled her cheek and ran his hand up Clockwork's arm.
"I love you both till the ends of time and then some." Clockwork squeezed them both close and sighed happily. "Writer she'll need one of your scarfs again to hide the marks from her family."
"No problem." Writer mumbled. "But Ellie in return you have to wear something to cover up on this 'date' of yours."
She nodded and chuckled. "Of course I will. And don't worry I'll be fine."
"This is so not fine..." Ellie grumbled as she sat at the fountain waiting for Dash to show up. She wore a long sleeve red sweater with one of Writer's new black scarfs around her neck. She wore simple black thermal tights with a white skirt that was lace at the ends and stopped just after her mid-thigh. Her shoes were tall black boots with a accented heel to give her more height and had fuzz at the top to keep her legs warm in the fall weather. She dressed nicely but made sure she covered plenty of skin as per Writer's request.
She shivered slightly but not from the cold. Her hand came up to her scarf as her Ghost marks started to tingle at the memory of their application just a few hours prior. After their marking session she talked out with Writer and Clockwork what was going to be going on for the date and even managed to get them to agree to watch from the Clock Tower instead of following Ellie around and setting off her Ghost sense every few seconds.
"There you are!" Dash ran up to her and sighed. "Thought you were going to back out?" Dash wore a black turtle neck sweater with a large black leather jacket over it and nice light dress slacks. Ellie looked him in the eye and huffed.
"I said I'd be here and I am." She stood up and pulled her white jacket tighter around her. "So you ready to get this over with?" Dash started walking out of the park with Ellie next to him and they headed down the street.
"That eager for the end when we can kiss?" he boasted.
"Yeah...about that... it's not going to happen." She could practically hear the wheels turning in his head as he figured out what she said.
"What? It's part of the deal Fenton."
"Yeah but you never put into account that I'm dating currently and I refuse to do that."
"Wait... you're dating someone? Who?" He demanded.
"None of your beez wax." Ellie huffed. "All you need to know is that I'm taken and I am not going to kiss you. Just thought I'd tell you now instead of when I'm slamming my door in you're face."
Dash opened his mouth to say something but instead grabbed her elbow and dragged her into the dinner they were about to pass. A waitress was waiting and lead them to a table. It was a cozy french dinner with orchestra music playing and tall tables that makes most everyone hand their feet. Dash was a gentlemen and pulled back her chair for her before sitting himself. They sat in silence as they chose their foods and ordered. Ellie had no idea what to say but as she opened her mouth to speak Dash let out a deep sigh.
"I'm sorry." he said making Ellie freeze and stare at him. "I knew this bet was a dumb idea but it was the only way I could think of to get you alone so I could talk. I just want you to hear me out okay? After that we never even have to speak of it again alright? I kind of made a promise to someone that I'd talk to you."
"...Okay Dash...let's talk then." Ellie nodded slowly.
"Look I've been a complete jerk to you in the worst ways. But... I wasn't really in control of myself. When we got into High School I did something stupid and only recently stopped it. I'm getting better and thinking straight now. So I want to say I'm sorry to you personally...so uh...I'm sorry." Dash sat silently as Ellie slowly processed everything that he had said and was shocked when she smiled at him.
"It's alright Dash, I'm not mad at you. I'm glad you're getting better from whatever was wrong." She laughed lightly easing the tension at their table and Dash even let out some light laughs of his own.
"Don't thinks this means I'm going to be joining your geek squad." He teased.
"Wouldn't dream of it."
The food came and after that they slipped into a mild conversation about friends and school. Ellie was surprisingly relaxed and Dash was actually paying attention to the they finished they left and headed back to the park to just walk around until it was time for Ellie to return home. They walked into the middle of the park and lazily followed the concrete trails lit by old street lamps.
"So what do you think of the Ghost Girl?"Dash asked.
"She's uh...She's pretty cool. Must be fun having those powers and flying around." Ellie shrugged. "Haven't really seen her up close though."
"I have... she's the one that told me to get better and...to talk to you too." Dash chuckled nervously. "I owe her big time."
"I'm sure she's proud of you Dash."
"You think so... What the...?" The lights started to go out one by one. Dash looked around trying to figure out what was going on and Ellie gasped as her ghost sense went off. She looked all over for anything that looked like a ghost but couldn't find anything. A two toned cackle was heard, one tone was high and the other was low but the sound came from one person or thing. Shadows started to meld together as it grew darker and soon they were in cased in a sea of darkness.
Ellie put her hands out and felt around trying to feel something but a small shout and a thud make her jump. She looked in the direction the sound came from and slowly backed away. She held her hands to her chest and gripped Writers scarf tightly.
"G-guy's if you're watching I really need you two right now..." Ellie was scared. She didn't know why she wasn't really afraid of the dark. But every fiber of her being told her to run far and fast. And yet her legs would only slowly move back.
A large shadow jumped across her vision.
Then it did so again.
A shuffle behind her.
A whistle from above.
Ellie was spinning around trying to see what was near. She heard whatever it was slithering across the ground, a large black mass moved from left to right a short distance away. Each movement it got closer to her. Then, it charged. Full force it moved at her and she was completely frozen. Bright angry crimson red eyes glared up at her with glee as it got closer and closer. Bright white was seen as it opened it's mouth showing it's many long sharp teeth bared to make a meal out of her. Ellie screamed as it jumped at her.
She was pulled into a tight embrace and the two toned voice screeched in pain before getting further and further away. Slowly she opened her eyes and looked up to see Writer holding her tightly and Clockwork standing in front of her. A hand rubbed against her cheek and wiped away tears she didn't know she was shedding.
"Ellie? Are you okay?" Writer spoke softly. Clockwork turned around once the danger had passed and placed his hand on her back to comfort her.
"N-now...I am." She smiled weakly and buried her face in Writers chest.
"Ellie...I'm so sorry." Clockwork looked down making his hood block out his face. "It caught us off guard I didn't see what was happening." Clockworks shame and grief were clear in his voice and he hung his head. Ellie slowly moved away from Writer, who nodded to her and let her go, and wrapped her arms around Clockwork in a tight embrace.
"I wouldn't be standing here if not for you two right now." He held her tightly against him and kissed her temple many times to assure himself that she was indeed in his arms and safe.
"I sent it to another time so we have more room to work now." He mumbled into her hair line. She puled back slightly and looked up at him in fear. Writer wrapped his arms around her from behind and rubbed his head on her shoulder as he grit his teeth.
"S-so that was..."
"That was it Ellie." Writer gritted out. She looked back at Clockwork to be sure her thoughts were correct.
"That was the being that killed Danny." Clockwork admitted grimly. "That was the Reaper."
Meanwhile deep in the lair of the Fright Knight and intruder was unlocking secrets he knew not how to control. With the turn of a key one piece of the puzzle fell into his hand and then was on his finger.
He passed the sword known as the Soul Shredder and ascended the stairs to the sarcophagus at the alter. Again, with the turn of a key he unlocked powers he could never hope to have. The door opened and the King long since sealed away slowly awoke.
"Who dares?" He voice deep, aged, yet demanding.
"I am Vlad Plasmius, and I will be taking you're crown."
And finally the thing that wants to kill Ellie is named... a lame name but it works.
I mean really, what else can scare a ghost than something than can slay souls?
SO people R&R and the next chapter will be up when i get around to it. Reviews tend to help me remember to write more and update.
Just FYI.
