Ok, I'm back and I've had a few hours sleep, but MY FINGERTIPS ARE HURTING :( I don't know why. Ah well… anywho, heres chapter EIGHT! I'm trying not to think about how many chapters there will be in this story, but I just can't help it – I do it automatically and can't stop! Anyway, just telling you, I think there shall be at least ten.
Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom though it's an awesome cartoon.
A Journey's End… For Now
Chapter Eight
Slip-up 1
Fiona looked at Lea who was watching the clock. She muttered something about someone meaning to be here by now. Fiona sighed and looked at the TV. She didn't know if she was imagining things, but it looked like the TV was snoring!
Lea whipped out a mobile phone and pushed a few buttons. She held the phone close to her ear, cursing half a minute later. Lea turned to Fiona with a fake smile on her face. "I guess Kirst got a bit… tied up or something so I shall tell you myself."
"OK, what do you want to tell me?" Fiona asked.
"Well, as I told you before, I am retiring and won't have my powers in two weeks. So that means that someone else has to teach you. You have a lot of power, just like the previous girl I taught, Li'Kirst-Fregher. So, I decided that she would be a perfect teacher for you." Lea told her.
"Really?" gasped Fiona. "She will teach me?"
"Yes," Lea informed her. "She has already agreed to it."
"AWESOME!" Fiona squealed.
"This means that you shall know who her human half is." Lea said.
"ALL Fregher's have a human side?" Fiona asked.
"Yes they do."
Li'Kirst-Fregher dodged this HUGE ghost. It was the biggest ghost that anyone Kirst knew had fought, and this time she was alone to fight it. She didn't notice how she got closer and closer to the spot where she was meant to tell Fiona that she would teach her.
I guess I'll have to wait, Kirst thought, or Lea will tell her.
The dinosaur ghost knocked Kirst into a building with its tail. Kirst got up quickly and tried to fight it. She wasn't herself since Vlad had erased her memory. She wasn't feeling as good, but she didn't feel too bad.
She got hit a few more times until she floated outside Lea's hotel room. Lea and Fiona ran to the window, and gasped when they saw the size of this thing. Kirst turned her head to look at them, and smiled.
"SORRY I COULDN'T MAKE IT!" she apologised.
She turned back to the dinosaur just in time to see it try and attack her once more. She dodged it and teleported above its head. It looked around himself but couldn't find her. She kicked his head and he fell down the road, landing on his stomach.
Luckily he didn't squash anything. Kirst sighed and lifted up a small house and dropped it on the dinosaur repeatedly. When she thought he was weak enough, she put the house back to where it normally sat and a Fenton Thermos landed on her palm. She sucked the dinosaur into the Thermos and it disappeared.
Kirst flew over to the window and landed on the balcony beside Lea and Fiona. "How's it going? Feeling better?" she asked Lea.
"Good, and yes, I feel much better, thank you." Lea said politely.
"Are you really going to be my teacher?" Fiona asked.
Kirstyn giggled and looked at the eager 12 year old. "Yes I am."
"COOL!" Fiona cried.
Lea dragged Kirst into her bedroom and shut the door so Fiona couldn't hear what they were discussing. Lea turned to Kirst and said, "You know, you have to tell her who you are."
"I know, but if I do, I might expose Danny and Kelly!" whispered Kirst.
"How?" Lea wanted to know.
"Everyone knows that Danny Phantom and Li'Kirst-Fregher are brother and sister!" Kirst pointed out. "And Kelly is Danny's girlfriend, both ways."'
"But she may think that Dan and Kell are FULL ghosts." Lea said.
"She knows they're not. Well, I'll just have to think of something to tell her." Kirst sighed and got up from the bed.
When they walked into the lounge room, Fiona was listening to her iPod on the couch. When she saw Kirst and Lea, she removed the headphones and sat up. Kirst walked over to her and said, "Come on, you need to get your stuff, we need to get home soon."
"You're really human?" Fiona asked.
"Enough with the questions, yes I am. Now, do you have anything here?" Kirst asked.
"Yeah," Fiona said.
"Where do you live?" Kirst asked.
Fiona shrugged her shoulders and looked up at Kirst. "My parents moved to California so I am staying with my sick grandma."
"Well, do you want to visit her or anything before we go home?" Kirst asked.
"She's in the hospital, and in a coma." Fiona said.
"I'm sorry." Kirst said.
"Nah, don't worry about it," Fiona stood up. "I'll get my stuff."
Li'Kirst-Fregher and Lea sat down on the couch. Kirst was about to turn the TV on when Lea said, "I need to give you something."
"Huh?" Kirst asked.
"In two weeks," Lea said. "I won't be a Fregher, so I can't understand what things say to me," Lea shrugged and snapped her fingers. "I want you to keep Freddy."
"What and who is Freddy?" Kirst asked.
"Freddy is my talking TV, he can switch places with any TV in the world, and right now he is at your house." Lea said.
"You shouldn't." Kirst said.
"But I can't understand him or anything, so I decided to hand him over to you." Lea said.
"Thank you so much," Kirst hugged Lea.
Fiona walked out of her room, a few flying bags following her. Kirst stood up and used her power to make the bags fall to the ground. When Fiona heard the noise, she spun around. "Why did you do that?" she asked.
"No one is to know that we are Fregher's," Kirst reminded her. "So for all they know, we are normal humans."
"But can't we go in Fregher form?" Fiona asked.
"Absolutely not. You don't know how many people want me dead, I would rather not risk ANYTHING." Kirst told her.
"People want YOU dead?" Fiona asked.
"Ghosts like their revenge." Kirst said simply.
"Oh."
Kirst looked around her wrist and pressed a button on the wristband that sat there. "What's taking so long?" a girl asked.
"Dinosaur." Kirst said.
"Oh, so what do you want?" the girl asked.
"I need you to send mum and dad with the… RV." Kirst said.
"OK, they will be there… very, very soon." The girl told Kirst.
"I know," Kirst rolled her eyes. "Bye!"
Kirst moved the bags to the front door and then twitched two fingers. Something was telling her that her brother and his girlfriend were in trouble. A TV screen floated into the air, smiling. Kirst had known how to use talking TV's like Freddy since she was 11.
Kirst, Lea and Fiona watched the screen. On it Danny Phantom and Kelly-Go-Boom were getting attacked by Vlad and his clones. "ARGH!" Kirst yelled.
She turned to Fiona and Lea and said, "I'll be back in one minute."
Kirst teleported out of there and appeared on the screen. Fiona and Lea watched it. She crept up behind Vlad and whacked him on the back of the head, earning a cheer from Fiona.
"Hello, girl." Vlad said.
"How can you keep getting out?" Kirst asked, her hair flying around everywhere and growing, showing that she wasn't very happy.
"I'm not as lonely as you think I am." Vlad ensured her.
Kirst didn't say another word. Instead Danny Phantom and Kelly-Go-Boom sent energy beams at him while Kirst played around with his controls. She got so interested in them, she didn't know that Vlad was winning the fight.
"Umm," Danny choked out. "A little help here?"
"Oh sorry!" Kirst apologised.
She sent the man flying into the lit fireplace, and the three teleported out of there.
The screen disappeared and Kirst reappeared. She brushed invisible dirt from her hot pink dress and heard a beeping sound coming from outside. She swallowed and turned to Fiona.
"OK, we need to go, mum and dad are here." Kirst said.
"Alright, hang on a second." Fiona told her.
Kirst hadn't noticed that Fiona was in her Fregher form. Fiona changed back to normal and Kirst thought, this is it – someone else will know my secret.
She brought up the black and pink rings, which changed her back into her human form.
Fiona gasped. "You're Kirstyn Fenton? I should've known! Kirstyn, Kirst!"
"Well," Kirstyn said. "Let's go, bye Lea."
"Bye Kirstyn." Lea waved the two girls off.
Maddie and Jack carried Fiona's bags up to Kirstyn's room while Kirstyn had a little talk with Danny and Kelly. Fiona was having some lunch, so they had to be quick and quiet.
"Guys, she obviously knows that I'm a Fregher, but I don't think you want her to know what you guys are, so you're going to have to be careful." Kirstyn told them.
"I know," Danny said. "I'm not even sure if I could keep my secret."
"We will just have to try our hardest, I'm not totally sure that we can do it, but we have to try." Kelly said.
"Can I let her train with you sometimes?" Kirstyn asked.
"Sure," Danny told her.
Kirstyn smiled and walked into the kitchen where Fiona was busy finishing the last bite of her peanut butter sandwich. When she saw Kirstyn, she smiled and swallowed the bit in her mouth.
"Thankyou so much for letting me live here." Fiona said as she put her plate in the new dishwasher.
"It's a pleasure." Kirstyn told her.
"I just can't believe it was you the whole time!" Fiona told Kirstyn. "So does that mean Danny Fenton is Danny Phantom?"
"Huh?" Kirstyn asked.
"You said Danny Phantom was your brother, and Danny Fenton is your brother, they have the same name too." Fiona said.
"No," Kirstyn said. "Uh, I just called him my brother because… he had the same name as Danny and… he helped me. A lot. Anyway, Danny's real name is Daniel."
"Really?" Fiona asked.
"Uh, yeah." Kirstyn sighed.
"Cool." Fiona said.
A scream was heard in the living room and Kirstyn and Fiona rushed in to see what caused the scream. Kelly stood in the middle of the room, looking around. She looked terrified. Kirstyn and Fiona too looked around, to see nothing.
"I am invincible." Whispered a voice.
Kirstyn looked around for the source. "Don't you mean invisible?"
"Oh yes, I always get those two mixed up." It said. "I am invisible."
"Dah," said Kirstyn. "We can tell."
Kelly screamed again, and Kirstyn saw the invisible being drag a knife across her back. Of course, Kelly couldn't go intangible because Fiona was there. The knife was visible, as was the blood that dripped from it. It tried to attack her leg, but it went intangible.
Fiona gasped and Kirstyn looked around. She sensed a ghost – the thing that was in the air wasn't a ghost. Danny Phantom appeared next to Kelly. He knew he couldn't do much in case he gave away his identity.
"Leave her ALONE!" he yelled.
"No, she is my target." The voice hissed.
Kirstyn closed her eyes and her small hands began to glow pink and black. Fiona watched her filled with awe. Kirstyn's whole body started to glow, and then a black and pink lightening bolt shaped energy flew over to the knife. The voice screamed and an old man appeared.
"Who are you?" Danny asked.
"Sandman." It whimpered.
"What do you want?" Kirstyn questioned Sandman.
"My m-master sent me t-to get rid of h-her." he stuttered.
"Who is your master?" Kelly asked.
"I… can… not… tell…" he choked out.
"There is a spell on him," Fiona told them, receiving questioning looks. "I have known a mage all my life, I know these things. He cannot tell you anything that this 'master' doesn't wish him to, so he put a spell on this man, or another mage put a spell on him."
Sandman disappeared and Kirstyn ran over to Kelly, helping her onto the couch so they could treat her wounds.
There, I'm done with chapter eight. I originally was going to make something happen, but I decided to put it in the next chapter. I accidentally deleted it so, it won't be the same as it originally was, but I'll try my best to make it like the original. Anyway, hope you enjoyed that, Read and Review!
Love Kirst…
