Mina: Here's the next chapter! Much will be revealed! And if you are reading this story please leave me a review because I like to know what people think of this. Just say 'update soon' and I don't care as long as you reviewed. Anyway, I do not own Danny Phantom.
After a few hours of playing the UDGB everyone dispersed. Valerie and Tucker went to watch a movie, Danny's parents went back to their room, Cana was planning on going back to her room, and Sam decided to stay with Danny. Cana had just exited the room when Sam started to talk to Danny.
"Danny?" Sam started.
"Yes?" Danny replied.
"I think we should ask Cana about her past," Sam said. Cana paused in mid-step outside of the room and walked back toward the door so she could eavesdrop better.
"Sam! What makes you suddenly say that?" Danny asked.
"It's just that…how the heck did she find out that what we gave you was the cure? It's not like she could just waltz up to Vlad and ask him," Sam responded.
"Look, if Cana wanted to talk about her past she would. Since she hasn't said anything to us then maybe she doesn't want to talk about it," Danny tried reasoning with Sam.
"Or maybe she has something to hide."
Danny just sighed and leaned back against his pillow. Cana continued to stand by the door, contemplating if she should go in or not. Sam continued to try and explain to Danny that Cana could be dangerous, that she could have something to hide, and that they really should ask her about her past. However, Danny kept saying that as good friends they shouldn't ask her until she was ready to tell them and that they wouldn't have to ask her then because she would tell them on her own. At this moment Cana decided to walk in.
"Hey guys. I decided to come back here and hang out for a little bit. You don't mind do you?" Cana asked.
"No. Not at all," Danny said.
Then, before Danny could stop her Sam said, "Cana, where are you from and what happened to you that brought you to Danny's house?"
The room was silent for a few minutes and then Cana spoke up.
"Sam…as good friends I thought that you guys weren't asking me that question because you wanted me to tell you when I was ready," Cana began. "You don't know what my past was like! It's full of things that I don't want to talk about! Full of things that hurt!" Cana raged with tears in her eyes. She then turned and ran out of the room.
"Way to go Sam!" Danny said.
Sam just stood in the middle of the room feeling really bad that she had said anything.
"You should go apologize to her," Danny said.
Sam nodded and then left the room. She had no clue where Cana would have run to so she tried Cana's room first. She wasn't in there. Puzzled Sam left the room and wandered around for a while. About a half hour later Sam found Cana playing Air Hockey in the arcade room. She was playing against a robot and every time Cana hit the puck it made a really loud noise. All her anger and frustration went into hitting the puck. Sam walked in and just stood there watching Cana. After a long period of silence Cana decided to speak.
"You know, I once had a really loving family," she began sadly. "I had a mother, a father, and the nicest and cutest puppy ever. Life was great. But…one day, when I was about three years old…that all disappeared. We were in our house and…and…all I remember were these purple rays of light hitting them and then they were gone. I think the dog ran in front of me…and saved my life," Cana finished. She had tears streaming down her face."I've never told anyone that before."
"Then why did you tell me?" Sam asked, feeling very sorry for Cana.
"Because that's what you wanted, wasn't it? For me to tell you about my past, about what happened to me," Cana said with a little edge in her voice.
"I'm sorry," Sam said.
"It's all right," Cana responded. "I guess we should go back up to Danny's room and tell him and Tucker, huh? They have a right to know," Cana said with a little laugh.
The two of them walked back upstairs. Tucker and Valerie had finished watching their movie and Tucker had gone to Danny's room while Valerie went back to her own room. Sam and Cana walked into Danny's room.
"Okay. Since I told Sam this you both have a right to know," Cana said.
"Know what?" Danny and Tucker asked at the same time.
"Know that once I had a loving family with a mother, a father, and a very cute and nice puppy. Then one night when I was three years old they were all taken away from me. There were these purple rays of light and…" Cana suddenly stopped as she started to think about something.
"And what?" Danny and Tucker asked anxiously.
Suddenly, realization dawned on Cana.
"That dirty rotten no good…I'm gonna kill him! How could he! Arg! When I get my hands on him I'm going to…" Cana started yelling really loudly and really angrily.
"Get your hands on who?" Danny asked.
"Vlad!" Cana yelled with tears coming to her eyes.
"Vlad?" Danny, Sam, and Tucker asked at the same time.
Cana took a big calming breath. "I guess you deserve to know the rest of the story," she said. "I just suddenly realized what those purple rays of light were. Those were Plasmius' purple blasts. He…he killed my family."
At this they all gasped. They knew Plasmius was evil but they didn't know that he would kill a family for no reason.
"Anyway, he didn't kill me. I went to the orphanage and the next day I was adopted by none other than Vlad Masters."
"Vlad Masters!" the three shouted in disbelief.
"Yes. Vlad," Cana responded. "Everyone thought he was being a very nice billionaire deciding that it was his duty to help unfortunate children. I thought that he was being nice too. However, over the years he would never let me make any friends. I was home schooled and I wasn't allowed to meet anyone. That room that you saw was mine and I created that photo to make you think that Vlad was really pretending to have a daughter. Anyway, I tried any way I could to meet people…"
Flashback.
A fourteen year old girl with blond hair and blue eyes was staring out the window. This was Cana. A huge RV had just pulled up in front of the house. A family got out of it. There was a man in an orange jumpsuit who was huge, a woman in a blue jumpsuit, a teenage girl in a black shirt with blue jeans, and a boy who looked about her age wearing a white and red shirt with blue jeans.
"Who are they?" Cana asked her adoptive father, Vlad Masters.
"Those are the Fentons. The largest is Jack, the beautiful one in the blue jumpsuit is Maddie, the girl with red hair is their daughter Jasmine, and the boy with the black hair is their son Daniel," Vlad told her.
"Can I meet them?" Cana asked hopefully.
"No! You may not!" Vlad responded.
"Please!" Cana begged.
"Only if you dress up as a maid and use a different name," Vlad responded.
This made Cana happy and she ran to her room. Her room had a bed and a desk with a computer on it on one side. There was a couch with a TV right across from it that had every game system in existence attached to it. There was a closet full of clothes and there was a bathroom with a toilet, shower, sink, and a table where she kept her brushes, makeup, and hair dye.
Cana walked over to her closet and searched it until she found what she was looking for. She pulled out a maid's dress and put it on. She then put her hair up in a bun. After doing this she ran back down to where Vlad was. She heard him talking to the guests and instead of running in she walked in.
"Ah. Here's my maid. She will show you to your rooms," Vlad said.
"Okay everyone, follow me," Cana said in a British accent. "My name is Catherine so if you need anything just give a holler. The room here on the right is for Mr. and Mrs. Fenton."
Jack and Maddie thanked 'Catherine' and walked into their room. Jazz and Danny still followed 'Catherine' down the hall.
"The room on the left is for Jasmine," Cana said still with a British accent.
Jazz walked into her room and shut the door. Danny then followed 'Catherine' down the rest of the hallway.
"And this room here on the right is yours Daniel."
"Thank you. But, could you call me Danny?" Danny asked her.
"Certainly!"
Danny walked into his room and then turned back around. "How old are you?" he asked.
"I'm fourteen," Cana responded in a British accent.
"Aren't you a little young to be a maid?" Danny asked.
"I'm not really a maid. I'm just filling in for my mother. She's sick so I'm taking over her chores for the moment."
"Oh. It's been nice talking with you."
"Wait! Could I just…hang out with you for a little while? You know...talk? I don't really get to meet new people that often and no one here is my age."
"Sure."
The two of them stayed in Danny's room for a while and just talked about their lives. After a while Cana told Danny that she had to leave and finish up her chores. They said good-bye and Cana walked back to her room. She let her hair down and took off the maid's outfit. Shortly after a maid walked in with her dinner since she couldn't leave her room now that guests were here.
Later that night Cana snuck out of her room and went to Danny's room. She didn't' disguise herself this time. She walked in and Danny was sleeping.
"Danny, I know you can't hear me but I want to tell you this anyway. I'm not Catherine, my real name is Cana and…"
A blue mist came out of Danny's mouth which startled Cana. She quickly ducked behind something and watched as Danny got up. He looked around and then noticed some vulture ghosts.
"I'm going ghost!" he said.
Cana watched as two rings appeared around Danny, one going up and the other down. His black hair, blue eyes, white and red shirt, and blue jeans became white hair, glowing green eyes, and a black and white suit. Cana watched as he exited the room and then flew after the vulture ghosts. She stayed crouched, hidden in Danny's room for a long time, too scared to get up. A little while later Vlad entered the room carrying Danny, who looked really beat up, and put him in his bed.
When Cana was sure the coast was clear she got up and ran back to her room. She then slept the whole night and when she woke up in the morning she remembered that it was the day of Vlad's college reunion. Vlad walked up into her room with her breakfast.
"Can I go to the reunion?" Cana asked even though she knew the answer.
"No! You must stay up here out of sight!" Vlad told her and then left the room.
Cana angrily ate her breakfast. Once done with that she walked into the bathroom and took a shower. When she got out she had a great idea of what she should do. She picked up a bottle of black hair dye and dyed her hair black. She then put in brown contacts. She walked over to her closet and picked out a Japanese looking dress and put that on. She then deemed herself ready to go down to the reunion.
When she walked in she noticed Danny standing to one side looking very bored. She walked over to him and decided to introduce herself all over again.
"Hi, I'm Lin. What's your name?" she said.
"I'm Danny."
"You just as bored as I am?" she asked him.
"Yup," Danny responded.
They talked for a little while and then Cana excused herself. She walked out into the hallway and tried to make sure that Vlad didn't notice her. She saw Vlad walk up to Danny and ask him for something. She decided to follow Danny as quietly as she could and see where he was going. Danny walked into Vlad's lab where he was attacked by a bunch of ghosts and therefore had to turn into his ghost self. The last one threw a cube at him which formed around him and made him turn back to his human side. She made sure that she was out of site especially as Vlad walked in. He then turned into some evil looking ghost which shocked Cana. She heard what Vlad was saying to Danny and she ran through the halls.
She was running frantically through the halls looking for someone who could help Danny. She didn't want to walk in even if she was in disguise. Eventually she found what she was looking for. He was floating up near the ceiling, the Dairy King.
"Dairy King?" Cana said to get his attention.
"Is that you Cana? You keep changing on me don't cha know?" he responded.
"It's me and I have a favor to ask of you. Could you go into Vlad's lab and free the kid in there?"
"Sure."
"Just don't tell him that anyone sent you," Cana told the Dairy King.
"I would never don't cha know?"
The Dairy King floated down to the lab and Cana followed keeping hidden. She watched as he entered the lab.
"Oh great! The Dairy King! What are you going to do suffocate me with cheese? Or…free me?" Danny said as the Dairy King pushed a button and the cube around him disappeared.
"Not all ghosts are evil don't cha know? Some of us just want to be left alone."
"So will you help me fight Vlad?"
"I'm the Dairy King! Kings don't fight they send others to fight for them, that's Royalty 101 don't cha know?" The Dairy King thensaid something about cheese and flew away.
Danny exited the room and eventually fought Vlad and 'won'. Cana had run back up to her room and washed out the hair dye and taken out the contacts and put on her normal clothes.
End flashback.
"Wait! You sent the Dairy King?" Danny asked surprised.
"That was me. Now if you don't mind I'd like to continue the story," Cana said.
"Go ahead."
"The next time I saw you was when you and your mom came to this mansion. This is the one I normally lived at but I happened to be at the other mansion for the college reunion. Anyway, I saw everything that went on. I unlocked all of the doors that led to vehicles so that your mom could find them, if I hadn't you both would have been stuck there."
"Gee. Thanks," Danny said.
"After some time passed Vlad went to Amity Park during the time when it was sucked into the Ghost Zone. When he came back he had the ecto-suit."
"I knew it!" Danny shouted. Cana kind of glared at him for a moment. "Sorry. You can continue."
"He stayed in his lab a few days and eventually called me down there. I didn't know what to expect so when he told me to put on a jumpsuit I didn't ask questions. He then shoved me into a ghost portal that hadn't been turned on yet. He pushed me in so that I hit the on switch and when I regained consciousness…" Cana trailed off.
Cana stood in front of them and took a few deep breaths. Then, two rings appeared around her body, one going up and the other down. Her blond hair, blues eyes, green tank top, and blue jeans became black hair, glowing green eyes, and a black suit similar to Danny's.
"When I regained consciousness I was like this," Cana finished.
"You're a halfa!" Danny, Sam, and Tucker asked in surprise in unison.
"Yeah. After I regained consciousness Vlad told me all about halfas and how he and you were one even though I already knew all of that. He then told me that he wanted me to find you and either make you join him or…or destroy you. I got mad and flew away. I made it as far as Amity Park and then his vultures caught up with me. They then used some device to knock me unconscious and short circuit my ghost powers."
"You mean that device wasn't something they were planning on using on me?" Danny asked.
"No it wasn't. You came along as they were carrying me back and when I woke up I saw you change back and I just had to say something. After that you all know the rest," Cana finished her story.
"But why did you suddenly tell us all of this?" Sam asked.
"Because I think Vlad is up to something a little more complex than I originallythought. When I realized that he killed my family but intentionally spared me I thought that he must have had a reason of why he wanted to do that and I needed your help to find out."
"Well, we'll be more alert now," Sam said.
"Good," Cana said and she changed back into her human form. "I just hope that whatever his plans are that we can stop him."
Later that day Cana told Jazz the exact same story that she had told Danny, Sam, and Tucker. Then she told Danny's parents that story but leaving out the part about Plasmius killing her family, only saying that a ghost did, and leaving out the parts about Danny and her both being part ghost as well as the part about Vlad being part ghost. She then told Valerie the same story that she had told Danny's parents. Danny's parents decided to leave that day and they all went home. Maddie was really angry about the way that Vlad had treated Cana when she was younger and was anxious to leave but didn't mention to Vlad why. They got back to Amity Park and rested peacefully for a while. Danny had finally fully recovered and he didn't have to hide it anymore. But unknown to them something big was brewing that was inevitably going to happen.
Mina: So? What did you think? I know it was long but that's the way it worked out. I would like to thank Nari-chan SND, Missmeliss4251, xheartkreuzx, and purpleflyingmonkeys for reading and reviewing for the last chapter. I would like to thank anyone else who read this but didn't review. I will try to get the next chapter up soon but it's going to be a little tough to write since I don't know where to cut it off. I'll try to get it up in a decent amount of time though. Please leave lots of reviews!
