Hey guys another new story from me. Yes, I don't have very many stories, but I have a lot of ideas, so I thought it would be a good idea to start writing them. Anyhow… this story Danny runs across someone else who is half wolf, and he gets invited to a school for people that are half human, half something else. That is pretty much all there is to it, but it has a lot of new characters and I promise it's not as bad as the summary makes it sound, lol. Anyhow… please at least read this first chapter, and if you don't like it, let me know why, and if you do like it, well then that's cool! Oh, and I know other people have halfa stories… but to tell ya the truth, I dunno what they are about or anything, so if this turns out anything like anyone else's story, I promise you, I didn't mean it! Just let me know if I mess up like that, k guys? Anyhow… here it goes!
Chapter One: Skylar
"Sam?" I asked, looking around the dark passageways leading through the back alleys of our city. I had walked back here with her, we were ghost hunting, or so we thought. A wolf, but it looked so alive, it didn't look like a ghost, and it wasn't acting like a ghost at all. Not just an ordinary wolf though, there was something about it that seemed different, a little larger than a wolf, with sharp teeth baring when it looked at the two of us. Dark black fur covered its body, clean fur, as though it was taking special care towards itself.
"Sam?" I called out again, now worried of her disappearance. She had gone down a different path then me, but now she was missing. No response, or no sound at all from any of the paths, but I felt as though I was being watched. My eyes scanning the area I was at for that odd wolf, I needed to find it, and get rid of it.
I heard heavy breathing above me, and I looked up, my eyes glowing green, reflected off of the buildings around me. I looked straight up into the piercing yellow eyes of the wolf, and I just stood there, as still as can be. He jumped down beside me, with Sam in his arms, a terrified look covered her face.
"Put her down," I ordered him, keeping my voice steady, although I could feel a shiver go down my spine, staring at the enormous wolf. He set Sam on the ground, and my eyes widened at the fact that he was listening to me. He padded up to my side, his nails clicking on the pavement. I stood completely still, waiting for what was to come, but all he did, was sat there, and looked me over.
He walked around one of the sides to the street, and I grabbed Sam up in my arms, and started to fly, when I saw a human come from the same direction to wolf had disappeared through.
"Danny Phantom? Right?" He asked me, his voice in a surfer type tone, but not in the style. His hair was sticking out in every direction, it looked thick like mine was, but he just wasn't going to waste the time to take care of it. His eyes were a blue-green, and he was about as tall as I was.
"Yes," I agreed, and set Sam back on the ground to go see what this kid had to say to me. He knew me, maybe he was a fan? Although, it was kinda odd for him to be out this late at night, wandering around the back alleys.
"Danny Fenton as well then, I would assume?"
"No…" I said, trying to keep myself from slipping, and sounding suspicious about it.
"Right… the only Danny Phantom I know, also has a human half, I'm Skylar," he said, out-stretching his hand to shake with me. I did accept it though, I didn't want to shake his hand if I didn't know who he was, or how he knew about my secret.
"What? You don't trust me? Look, Danny, if you want to become friends, I can tell you why I'm here. Follow me, I don't want anyone to be watching us," he said, and I looked at Sam, who was giving me the look of "We're not following him."
"Come on Sam, might as well find out who he is, since he knows my secret," I said, and she followed behind me, our hands held together tightly. I didn't trust him in one little way more than she did, but I was going to have to find out who this mysterious person was.
He led us through a door in the alley we were at, turning the same corner he had come from, which meant maybe that was where he lived? This wouldn't be the place I would like to live… but in yet, I had never seen him in school before, I had never seen him before at all.
When we entered through the door, there was a musty smell, and dust frosted over everything in the little room we had entered. It was an abandoned house that was for sure. Nothing much left in it, except for the cupboards, a table, and a couple of chairs. Of course, I couldn't tell what the rest of the house looked like either, but the walls were rotted, and there were bugs crawling on the floor.
"Take a seat," he told me, as he took a seat in the opposite side of the table. I looked at Sam first, and she nodded for me to take a seat. I looked at the seat first before sitting, since the place was so filthy, and… old? I didn't know what it was, but it didn't make me feel comfortable, that was for sure.
"Ok Danny, like I said, my name is Skylar. I am also, half human… half something else, but I can't tell you what, until you agree to be friends, all right?"
"Yea, sure, but I wanna know what's going on before I do anything," I scowled, and he just smiled at me.
"Your invited to Midnight High School, it's a school for… people that are half something else. I can explain more to you, but not here, I just brought you here, because it was a safe place for you to transform back to Danny Fenton, so I can know it's really you, although… I'm almost positive it is."
"Ummm…" I stuttered, then turned to Sam for an answer, and she shrugged, as though to say "up to you."
I figured, what was the harm? He knew about it anyway… somehow, so showing him, or not, wasn't going to make too big of a deal.
"You tell me what your half of first," I nodded at him, before making my final decision.
"Wolf. That wolf you saw was me. Believe it, because if you don't you have something wrong with you," he teased me, and I grinned at his lame joke to try and make me sound like an idiot from not realizing it in the first place, when I had actually forgotten about it anyway.
"I believe you, I never said it wasn't you. I know that an ordinary wolf wouldn't have acted that way," I threw right back at him, so far, the whole 'friends' thing wasn't working out.
"Anyhow, you gonna prove to me your power Danny?"
I sighed, I knew I was probably going to regret all of this some time down the line of life, but I was willing to risk it, besides, someone was going to find out about my powers sooner or later.
I closed my eyes lightly, not wanting to see the look on his face, just in case it was a surprised one, and I had done the wrong thing. I felt the sleeves disappear off my arms, as I was now wearing my T-shirt, and my pants were no longer tight, but baggy, I had done it… now to see what he had to say…
"Yes, I was right… so, you gonna come to our school, or what? I had to make sure first… because the other people there wouldn't like a normal person to come there, it would make them feel odd, and they would feel offended by not being normal."
"Yes… I would like to go, but what about my parents?"
"Well… just sneak out, and stay gone, just call them, and pretend as though you're at someone's house all the time."
"But then they would tell me to come home."
"You might get grounded, but say you went on vacation with someone else, it works, trust me. But… it is a year long school, your there for a whole year, no breaks, or anything."
"So… I have to go one year, without my friends? Or anything?" I said, since Sam came first in my life all the time and without her for a year… I dunno exactly what I would do.
"No, you get one weekend a month to invite a couple of people or so to come visit ya."
"But… I thought they didn't like 'normal' people coming?" I said, emphasizing normal, since it was annoying me how much he was making it sound as though they were bad.
"Yes, which is why no one ever brings anyone, but it looks like you have enough friends."
"They don't have any friends?"
"We are all friends with each other… well, a lot of us are. Maybe you can make new friends there too? Then you will have no need for bringing anyone else."
"You know what? You guys just need to learn how to make friends that are as you call it, 'normal'."
"Well… when people know you can change into a wolf, or change into anything else weird… they aren't exactly going to treat you like a normal person."
"Sam does, my friends do. That's why I was so… careful about telling you I had my powers. Although, I'm a looser at my school anyway… so I don't think it would make much of a difference…"
"You're a looser? You seem like a cool guy to me… but that could be just me. And… I'm the popular one in our school."
"Really?" I said, getting excited, and standing up at the thought of it.
"Yes. Well… you have a couple of days to get ready to leave… I'll be going now," he said, as though in a sudden rush to get out of there. I watched him walk outside, and I saw a huge shadow of the wolf replace his shadow once he was outside.
"You're really going?" Sam asked me, as I transformed back to ghost mode.
"Yes, why not? I might learn something there, you can never tell."
"Yea, and get in trouble by your parents for months! Your nuts if you think your going to get this past your parents."
"Sam, it's all right, I'll try it for a while, and if I don't like it, I'll leave, nothing is making me stay there, I'm sure it's up to us whether we stay or not."
"Danny… Please just stay here? You don't know what that place is like! What if there are other people like… Vlad there or something?" She asked me, leaning against the wall doing random hand gestures with her words.
"Sam, they're all teenagers…. I highly doubt there is gonna be anyone worse than Dash there."
"Do whatever you want Danny," she said a little frustrated with me, but I had to go there, I never knew there was such a thing, and maybe if I went, and ended up learning something new. If I could learn some new techniques, then maybe… just maybe I could even be able to beat Vlad… my one main goal as of now.
"Sam, I'm not doing this because I really wanna go, and abandon you or anything. I promise, I will get to see you Sam."
"Danny, that's not my problem. You might think people aren't going to be any worse than Dash, but those people are probably going to be a lot stronger than Dash."
"Yea… but maybe everyone there is nice? You have never thought of that huh?"
"Maybe Danny… I'm not trying to keep you from going, but I would rather you not go."
"Well… I'll call you a lot, Ok? And I'll keep in touch, if there's any troubles, I can just call you for help all right? I won't forget about you Sam. And I'll stay safe," I reassured her, and placed my arms around her, and she rested her head against my chest.
"You promise?"
"Yes Sam, I promise. We should get back home though," I told her, after all, she was staying at my house for the night, which means that my mom and dad would be more worried when the two of us were gone for so long, since they had to keep track of both of us.
"Yes, we should," she said, and I placed my arms around her, and took up off the ground. Flying through the sky that night wasn't like it normally was. Normally, I would have been enjoying the peaceful stars, and the cool of the night, but I was bothered this night. Maybe I shouldn't go, even if I did… I wouldn't be having the same days, and I would have to go to school every day… but maybe it isn't that bad?
"You Ok Danny? I didn't mean to make it sound so bad… I'm sorry if I'm making you feel bad," Sam apologized, noticing the tension in me as I sat there flying with nothing to say, and not any happiness in me at all right now.
"No Sam, I'm Ok, it's not your fault," I told her, staring up at the sky, I could only imagine what that school would be like. People running around, then the next thing you know they are all different looking. I wonder how you can become a half wolf? I think it would be fun… but then again, you would probably have just as much problems as I have, maybe even more. I wonder what else there could be halves of?
Once we were back at my house, I went straight to my bedroom, and transformed back. I placed Sam on the ground, then walked downstairs to see if anyone had even noticed we were gone. The house was totally silent… everyone was asleep already, I guess no one did notice, or else they would have been awake.
I ran into the kitchen, and being dumb forgetting about the floor, I slid on it and made a huge crash when I fell to the floor. I guess I was so caught up in everything else… even the simplest thing like that was forgotten about.
"Danny?" I heard someone ask me, the voice of Jazz, of course she had to be the one to wake up.
"Yea, it's me, who'd you think it was?" I teased her, I didn't feel like being mean to my family, not even my sister when I was going to abandon them in a few days, and not see them again for a year.
"I was just saying, because you kinda disappeared."
"Oh, so all of you went to bed?" I asked her, a sweep of cold air came out of the fridge, as I grabbed out two freezing pops.
"Well, you disappear all the time, we didn't think it was anything important, and look, here you are."
"Yeah, you know I would never just leave you," I said, but I knew… I was going to leave them, for a year. Maybe if I just left to go there, then came back home every once in a while, my family wouldn't have to worry about me as much then. Or… maybe I should just… come out and say what I'm doing? No… I couldn't tell my secret, ever.
"I know you wouldn't, Danny. You're not like that. You're a pretty good brother, if only you would just tell us some things," she said, and turned around to head back to her room. I sighed, and headed towards mine. Now I was going to feel bad if I left, Jazz trusted me not to. Maybe I could just let Jazz know about it, besides, she was my sister, and why not tell her?
Once I got back up to my room, I closed the door behind me, and found Sam sitting at my computer, looking at some web site.
"Whatcha lookin at?" I asked her, and set the pop down beside her. She stared at the screen, but replied to me regarding her interest in what she was looking at.
"Looking at that school your going to. There isn't anything about it."
"Then why are you looking at an Internet page?"
"Because… I'm looking up what different types of things people can become half of. Wolf, dragon, vampire, demon, dog, cat, horse, unicorn, ghost, fox, and a whole lot more…"
"Wow… I never knew any of that was possible."
"I didn't either… but then again… we never thought of it before either, all I need is my half ghost," she said dreamily, and I could feel myself blushing. I opened up my pop and felt it fizz on the way down my throat, coke… my favorite.
"Danny… you think I could just come with you?"
"No… they don't want 'normal' people there. Besides, if you stay here, you can help cover up for me being gone."
"Oh? Ok… you'll take me over there though a few times, right?"
"Of course, you and Jazz… I think I need to tell her about my powers… she really cares for me and I feel bad for keeping her from it."
"Aww, your such a sweety Danny."
"You think it's a good idea?"
"Yes, I would trust Jazz more than Tucker!"
I laughed at that, it was true though. If Tucker could get a girlfriend if he told someone, he would do it. He wasn't exactly the most trustworthy friend, but oh well, I can't say he was a bad friend or anything, he tried.
"Well… we had better get to bed," I told her, since I needed to prepare for another stressful day to follow this one.
"All right," she said, and she rolled the trundle out from under my bed, and it bounced up in place right next to mine. The mattress on that one was older than the one on my bed… but Sam always wanted to use it, and I had no idea why.
I crawled up onto my bed, before she laid down on hers, so that I wouldn't have to walk across the top of her to get to my bed. I fell into my sleeping position, it was the same every night, curled up in a ball under the blankets, my head pushed into the pillow as far as it would go.
"Night," I told Sam, and she reached over and kissed me on my forehead, then she laid back down, without saying another word. Wow… to imagine, I was going to try and last all that time without her… As of she was the last thing I would think of before I fell asleep, just the same as I thought of her before I fell asleep this night…
All righty guys… I need your help in this fic once again. Heehee. PLEASE if there is anything that you would like me to use for the halves of peeps, I would be more than happy to use your ideas, names and stuff as well, but I might not get peeps to well if you wanna add description as well. ANYHOW… please review! I think this story will become really fun after a while, it just needs to get started a little!
