A fan fiction by Kate-chan 91
Disclaimer: I don't own any copyrights to Danny Phantom… except the copyright for this story, that is!
Kate-chan 91's tidbits (A/N): Yay! I did another alternate universe fanfic! (The other one's my InuYasha fanfic Adaptation) Before continuing, please note that this AU fanfic contains strong language, references/situations of suicide and torture, and strong references to violence and drug content and is therefore not attended for readers under 13 and the fact the rating may go up to R in the future if I don't edit offensive content out of the story. Also, this contains existing characters doing something they definitely would do only in an alternative universe (You'll see what I mean as you continue reading).
My Flame Policy
First of all, you are allowed to flame, but only on one condition: it's constructive, i.e. tells me how to improve this story and other future reading. However, you are NOT allowed to send me any spam or hate mail; if I get any of these, not only will I delete any of those that I'm allowed to by rules but I will start accepting only positive reviews. (BTW: It's highly recommended you do review since reviews tend to keep my fanfics going; if there's no reviews the story winds up on hiatus.)
Well, I hope you enjoy this chapter and many more to come.
Part One
Prologue: The Cause of Death
0000
"No one knows whether death is really the greatest blessing a man can have, but they fear it is the greatest curse, as if they knew well." -Plato
Amity Park, USA. 2005.
"Let's face it: It wasn't supposed to happen."
"How old was the girl- Miss Manson, that is?"
"Thirteen, fourteen, something around there."
"Sigh. Too many young people are giving up the ghost lately. How long did it take her to go from quote on quote "normal" to the state where she became paranoid and expired?"
"Exactly twenty-eight days."
"Four weeks to go from some vegan gothic kid to just another patient at a mental institute? I don't think so."
"Detective Keith, you have to believe me when I state this is certainly the weirdest case we have ever investigated. This isn't your average suicide case."
"Well then- what happens to make it so unique, Herb?" Private detective Mary-Lynn Keith asked Officer Herb Broussard, who was talking to her about her latest suicide case.
Broussard briefly situated his robust right hand of his onto his face and sighed as he removed it. "Detective Keith, do you believe in life after death?" he questioned Keith slowly in a low voice.
Keith shook her head. "Herb, I thought you knew I was an atheist- I don't believe in God."
Herb retorted, "Detective Keith, I know you are atheist, but I asked you that question for one reason, and it wasn't whether or not you believe He exists."
"What was the reason then?"
"Well," he quietly replied, "I said that because Daniel Fenton is allegedly involved in the self-harm and eventual passing of Miss Samantha Manson…"
"…What's so special about him? Was he her ex-boyfriend or something similar to that prior to her suicide?"
"Detective Keith, I know this might sound… peculiar at the very least, but Daniel Fenton is special in this case due to the fact he was last alive thirty-six years ago."
"Oh?" Keith said slowly with a raised eyebrow.
End of Prologue
A/N: All I can say is that you should never judge a fanfic by its first chapter or prologue. Still, I hope you enjoyed it and you will continue reading and reviewing as this makes constant progress.
Ja Ne!
