(A/N: I made another deadline! Go me, I'm sorry if this chapter seems a little off because I finally got a girlfriend so my minds a little clouded. I hope you all enjoy and let me know what you think of this!)
Disclaimer: I guess its good that I don't own Danny phantom because then this would have been a movie.
Chapter 3: A thief
Danny was deep in thought as his plain came in for a landing, Could Sam really be at an all boys school? No even her parents wouldn't take it that far but it's the only lead I have.
When Daniel got off the plain and woman came over to him and handed him a small package, then left before Danny could ask what it was. It was small and square, wrapped in plan brown paper.
Danny opened it and found a card and key, he opened the card.
Dear Daniel,
I trust you made it safely to your destination. Enclosed is the key to you room, I suggest you enter unseen.
Vlad
Danny picked up the key, a small 407 was carved into it. He left the small airport and found a secluded place, then turned into Danny Phantom and flew to the school, it wasn't hard to miss. From the air it was the size of a small city.
He flew into St Bernard and found himself in what looked like the gym. There were four large boys hanging a smaller boy by his shorts on one of the rope ladders, They're as bad as Dash. Making sure no one could see him Danny pushed a stack of gym mats over.
They toppled on to the four guy burying them, the small boy who they had been hanging landed softly on the mats and then ran out of the gym as fast as he could.
Danny smiled and then flew off to find his room, which took twenty minutes because of the sheer size of the place. Finally he stepped inside room 407, which was some what small, it had a bed, desk, dresser, and a window. There were two doors, one leading to the closet and the other to a bathroom, there was another door on the other side of the bathroom that Danny guessed went to another persons room I'll have to be careful to make sure no one finds out my secret.
Danny walked back into his room, on the bed was another small package wrapped in brown paper. He opened it and took out another note.
Dear DanielI believe it would be best for you if no one recognized you, I have included hair die and contact lenses. You will pick up your schedule tomorrow morning, I will not be able to help you from here on out. I leave you with a small amount of money you may be able to use. I wish you luck.
VladDanny took a small bottle of brown hair die and several pairs contacts that matched it. "I guess I better get this over with." Danny went into the bathroom and turned on the shower. He let the warm water wash over him as he thought about how much had changed in the last twenty four hours. Sam had moved, he had turned to Vlad of all people for help, he was in a Ireland at an all boys school looking for Sam.
When Danny was done his hair was a light brown color, with a pair of contacts in he barely looked like himself. Danny tossed the towels in to the hamper and went to unpack his things. He set his laptop on the desk and stored his weapons under his bed, the last thing he needed was for someone to find them and start asking questions.
Just as he finished Danny realized he left the bottle of hair die in the bathroom, he went back in to get it and froze. His first impression were the eyes, Sams eyes.
He was about to blurt out 'Sam' when the other person spoke. "Danny?" It wasn't Sams voice, who ever this was it wasn't his Sam. The guy looked a lot like Sam, but was defiantly a guy. "Sorry, I thought you were someone else. I'm Sam."
Sam? That's just scary. "I'm Dan" He caught him self just in time, better to use his full name for now. "iel, but you can call me Danny, I kind of prefer it." Sam didn't seem to notice his slight slip up.
"Ok then" Sam said with a smile, Danny decided it would be a good idea to leave now before thing got any stranger. He gave Sam a smile and slipped back into his room hutting the door behind him. "That could have gone better."
Danny walked to his bed, then heard a 'crack' Danny looked down to see his cell phone under his foot "Crap!" Danny tossed his destroyed cell phone into the trash can, I'll have to get a new one tomorrow.
Danny decided to just go to bed, the jet lag was catching up with him. He lay in his new bed for a few hours before deciding he couldn't sleep, getting up he flew to the roof and looked at the sky. It seemed different here, deeper, older. Danny felt an odd sensation come over him, something old and strong.
Sam lay awake till the first light of dawn blossomed over the hills and made its way into her room. Great, now I'm going to be half asleep on my first day. Sam walked into the bathroom, first checking to make sure Danny wasn't in there doing anything. Then locking the doors so Danny couldn't get in and accidentally see anything he shouldn't, stepped into a warm shower.
When Sam was done she made sure everything was fixed on her before walking back into her room and putting on her uniform, which took a while because it made Sam sick to wear it. During that time she heard the shower turn on and off again, Danny takes a fast shower, no don't think about him in the shower.
When Sam stepped out of her room she ran into Danny, literally. They both fell down on to the floor, "Ow"
"Sorry" Danny said standing up, he pulled Sam to her feet.
"That's alright, I wasn't watching where I was going." Sam followed Danny down the hall. "So how long have you been here?"
"I just got here last night." Danny really didn't want to talk to Sam, he needed to find Sam. Wow, this could get very confusing.
Danny and Sam walked threw the almost empty halls till the reached the dinning room, just before Danny went in he saw something on the ground. He picked it up, it was a small good pendent, it had a green jade stone set in the center with hammered gold around it, the gold had intricate carvings of flowers.
"What's that?" Sam asked from behind him.
"I don't know, it was just lying on the ground, I guess someone lost it. I'll turn it in later." He pocketed it and they went in. The dinning room was huge and full of people eating déclassé from around the world.
It made Sam sick to see some many people eating meat, well, she guessed it was meat. Danny walked away to get his food and Sam just stood there trying not to throw up, even Tucker wasn't this bad. Finally she got a salad, after explaining to the man behind the counter what it was, and sat down out of the way.
Artemis sat alone at a table near a window, he always sat alone not caring for the company of the other students. He found them slow to the point and all together unlikable. He much rather would spend his time thinking of new schemes, at fourteen he was a master thief. He had already stole great works of art from around the world, including one from the louvre. Not to mention several million from various bank accounts.
He would have preferred not to have even had to attended this school but his parents insisted. They didn't know about his criminal life but to keep it secret he was forced to come here and was severally limited in his time to devote to his shadowy life style. He despised the food they served here, and he dearly missed his Italian suits.
As he pondered what to do with the new psychologist at the school, who the principle insisted he see, a boy Artemis had never seen sat down next to him. Artemis made no attempt to speak with him and he was to absorbed in his own thought to notice Artemis.
The boy took something out of his pocket, Artemis's breath caught in his throat. He saw a flash of gold, but more importantly it looked like an early 13th century pendent, worth quiet a bit. He had to get a closer look to be sure, "May I see that a moment?"
The boy looked at Artemis then handed it over, yes it was really. Artemis had to keep from giving away how valuable it was. He handed it back, "Interesting? Where did you find it?"
"Around" He's more intelligent then I thought.
"I am Artemis."
"Daniel, nice to meet you."
Artemis walked across the lawn to a secluded spot near the fourth hole of the golf course. He took out his cell phone and dialed Butlers number, Butler was Artemis's body guard, trainer, and the closest thing Artemis had to a real friend. "Hello Butler, I believe I just found something to do while we wait and see where the Vint de norm has gone."
"Alright Artemis, I'll meet you in the foxhole in five minutes"
The fox hole was a dug out area Butler had made when Artemis had first been sent to this school. He liked to be close to him incase something happened, which was more then likely considering all those Artemis had stolen from. It was hidden near the 9th hole next to the water trap, Butler had taken to living there most of the time. The grounds keeper Mr. McLain had found it in a few days but kept quiet about it. He said it wasn't his business if someone wanted to live there. He was, in Artemis opinion, insane.
Butler was waiting for him when he entered, Butler was nearly seven feet tall with a shaven crown. He knew more marshal arts then Jacky Chan and was an expert in most weapons. Butler had served him since he was born. "Hello Butler, I have found a pendent that I believe to be worth a great deal. It belongs to a new student, Daniel. Please find out what room he is in, also I'll need a few minutes to locate it, so you will need to keep a lookout."
"Alright." Butler took out a small computer he had hocked up to the school mainframe. It took less then a minute before he had the information. "He's in room 407. I checked the cameras, he's out side right now taking the tour, now would be a good time to get it."
"Yes, I would have preferred more time to prepare but we must take opportunities when they arise."
Butler stood at the end of the hall watching to make sure Artemis had the few minutes he needed. He had changed into a janitors costume and was washing windows.
Artemis checked the hot cup, a small device that was extremely sensitive to heat, allowing him to see body heat was something Artemis found handy. It showed that no living soul was in the room. He took out a master key Butler had made for him several weeks ago, it opened most doors in the school. He stepped into the room and closed the door behind him.
Danny was walking down the hall, he had gotten all his things and seen the campus. He liked it but knew Sam would hate it here, he still hadn't seen any sign of her and was really worried he had gotten it wrong. As he walked he saw a large man, nearly seven feet tall cleaning windows. He didn't seem to be doing anything wrong but Danny got a strange feeling from him so he decided to sneak back to his room. Slipping into an empty class room he went ghost and flew to his room, when he entered there was someone already there.
It was the kid from earlier, what's he looking for? Maybe I should give him a little scare. Danny landed in his closet and turn human, then stepped out, "Hello Artemis."
He spun around, Artemis couldn't believe that Danny had somehow snuck past Butler. He couldn't, that would mean something must have happened to Butler. "Sorry, I'll just be leaving." Artemis moved to the door, Danny made no move to stop him. Once outside he broke into a run, Butler can't be dead, he's to good. But then what happened?
Artemis, saw Butler still cleaning, he smiled when Artemis got closer, "So did you find it?"
"No, Daniel returned." Before you say anything we need to leave and return to my room, and we must keep a closer eye on Daniel, he my be useful."
(A/N: Ok, a little later but still up today. Incase I forgot I don't own Artemis Fowl or Butler. Let me know how you like this chapter. And thanks to:Horselvr4evr123
