The Weight On My Shoulders

Salutations! I am... so so sorry. I have been feeling very down lately and couldn't motivate myself to do much. I'm getting ready to go to college and I just... feel very tired.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Danny Phantom, if I did they would have actually acknowledge the severity of what was going on!

/Danny Fenton's life is not easy and he is suffering far more then anyone knows. What will happen when everything he's been keeping inside finally starts leaking out? Will anyone notice or care? Can the dead even feel pity for the child burdened by life?/

The ghosts looked a bit startled that he agreed, but Spectra just smiles.

"I want to keep him." She practically purrs. At this the ghosts fly into an uproar appalled at the thought of Spectra hogging Danny all to herself. If Clockwork thought the arguing was bad before, it was nothing compared to this. He raises a hand effectively silencing everyone.

"Please explain." He says calmly, though inside he was seething at the thought of anyone OWNING Danny. Spectra's smile grows.

"I want to keep him, here in the Ghost Zone that is. Now before anyone tries to fight me on that remember that if he stays here permanently I wouldn't be the only one with access to him. You all would get to have his attention everyday." Now that makes them stop and think. When she put it like that… well they would be lying if they said they didn't find that offer appealing. Clockwork looks contemplative. Maybe this would be good for Danny? At the very least it would get him out of that toxic environment. Then Clockwork could personally see to his health without it being seen as directly interfering. After a moment he nods.

"Alright. Its A deal, but please handle this matter with care and gentleness. This is a child and we don't know how he will react to facing these hard truths. I have seen serious sighs of denial and self-blame, so please handle this delicately." He looks at them with those wise ancient eyes, and they understand the severity of his words.

"Yes sir…" Johnny feels the need to whisper. Clockwork smiles warmly as him.

"Thank you all… I truly mean that. I think I speak for more then just myself when I say that the Ghost Zone would be a very empty place without Danny." A very empty place indeed. The other ghosts nod in agreement. Spectra smirks.

"Well… let's get this show on the road." She turns and walks out expecting the others to follow. Reluctantly… they do.

Author Note: I know this is very short and I'm so sorry. Please have patience with me. This is my first time attempting to write out a long story like this and I went into this without any real plans. I will continue trying to do my best and I hope you all still enjoy! Any reviews, constructive criticism, and requests are ALWAYS welcome! STAY KAWAII!
