Ghostly Pasts Returning

Prologue

"Hm……this must be a joke." The boy said to himself as he observed the ashes of the burned down temple. "He was laid to rest, much like myself. What would stir him now, of all times?"

"Why, the guardian spirit of the family leaving to be laid to rest of course, my dear boy." Cackled a voice behind him. Brown eyes widened in realization. "That's right, Terrence. Maddie is unprotected now."

"You won't get anywhere near her, evil spirit!"

"Boy, I expected a little more cooperation from you." The spirit laughed. When he saw the other boy rushing forward, he narrowed his glowing green eyes, and grabbed the boy by the neck. "Look here, I have a score to settle with the Fenton family; one that's hundreds of years old."

"You can't….you can't, Phantom!"

"Feh! What makes you think that you can tell me what to do?" Phantom laughed, brushing a white lock of hair away from his face. "You're but a pitiful human ghost! Now, if you don't mind, I'll be heading towards…what was it called again? Oh, yes. Amity Park." Phantom glanced at the scared tourists that were scurrying away from him like hyperactive mice. "And I believe I'll be walking. It's far too lovely a night to simply fly there." He chuckled, continuing down the dirt road leading away from the now destroyed temple.

"No, he's going to kill them." The boy gasped. "I have to get to Amity Park as fast as I can. I have to warn the Fentons!"
