After my friends and family were killed, I didn't know where to go. My mind was so clouded up, and I sat outside for days crying. I didn't go to school for a week, and I had a feeling they understood why. I didn't care if they did or not. I was devastated. Dammit I was broken into a thousand pieces!
So eventually a crazy idea formed in my head. There was only one person left I could run to that could possibly understand my problem. The only other person who knew my secret and understood completely what I was going through. Vlad.
I flew to his mansion and knocked on his door, possessing only the bare necessities and a photo of my family and friends. Vlad graciously let me in, but I still felt as if there were an empty void in my body… in my mind.
Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth drives me into madness
Vlad tried to make me feel better, but it didn't help at all. He told me that they might be in the Ghost Zone, and that made me feel a whole lot worse. I didn't know what to do, the pain was killing me. I felt as if it were all my fault. I felt terrible that I had ultimately killed my friends and my family. It tore me up inside.
I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away
If I will it all away
I knew Daniel must have been going through a tough time. I thought I could help by talking to him, but he shut me out. No surprise there. I just didn't like to see him sulking in his room, and it killed me to see him cry. One day I phased through his locked door and decided to talk to him, even if he wouldn't listen. I perked his interest, though, when I mentioned a way to get rid of his pain.
Don't turn away
(Don't give into the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though their screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the lights
(Never sleep never die)
I didn't even notice him come in. I had been… crying… into my pillow. Yes, I'll admit that I was crying… bawling, really. But you would do the same if everyone you loved was gone in an instant.
Vlad started talking to me, telling me that I should just let the anger pour out, that he would gladly be my target so I could let my anger and frustration out. This made me smirk. He was volunteering to get his butt kicked to make me feel better.
What really got me interested was this invention he'd made. He said it was like the Fenton Ghost Catcher, and that he could take the ghost half out of me so my emotions would disappear in my human form. I wasn't sure how it worked, but he promised me that it would get rid of all of the pain I was feeling.
I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know that there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be blinded by tears
I kept having nightmares. The explosion… their faces, plastered with fear. Debris flying everywhere. My screaming… my crying… my pain…
I was seriously considering letting Vlad rip the humanity out of me. I couldn't sleep at night. I couldn't even think straight. I could hardly control my powers anymore, my emotions were running wild.
I can stop the pain if I will it all away
If I will it all away
I could hear him cry at night. I knew he would want it, but I wasn't sure if I wanted it myself. What if something went horribly wrong?
Daniel came up to me one day and asked me if I could separate him. I debated with myself and finally decided that it would be best for him. He would finally be able to sleep, and he would be able to form complete sentences. Yes, he couldn't even think enough to form complete sentences. When he'd asked me to separate him, it came out as "You me gloves human ghost emotions gone." I felt so bad for him that I had to acquiesce to his request. So we went into surgery.
Don't turn away
(Don't give into the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though their screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the lights
(Never sleep never die)
The last thing I remember was following Vlad into his lab. He gave me some medicine and it knocked me unconscious. When I woke up, I saw my ghost half, Danny Phantom, menacingly looking at Vlad with the gloves on his hands. I flinched as Phantom grabbed Vlad and tore him apart. Then Phantom did something I never thought I'd do, he overshadowed Plasmius. There was a bright light, and the next thing I knew Phantom was advancing on me. It had worked, but in the opposite way. The human half was supposed to keep the emotions, and the ghost half was supposed to be free of all pain. But now Phantom had the pain and I was scared to death of what he was going to do to me.
Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me I fear
It was déjà vu. The explosion… the screams… my pain… and then something that wasn't familiar, but was at the same time comforting. It was something I felt when I was in my ghost form, but something was keeping me from feeling it to its full extent. Maybe it was because I was only half ghost. Darkness enveloped me as I fell into unconsciousness. I was finally free of the pain.
She beckons shall I give in
Upon my end shall I begin
Forsaking all I've fallen for
I rise to meet the end.
