Chapter 3: A Story Unfolds

The ancient city of Livingstown was one that was known for its kings and queens. These fair rulers were known fair and wide as the best rulers throughout the entire world. No one could compare to the generosity or compassion they shared to each of the citizens. They truly were a gift of god. But these rulers shared another gift they were ghost hunters.

The fairest rulers yet to rule Livingstown were Jack and Maddie Fenton. Even though they were the finest rulers the kingdom had to offer, they were also well known for their expertise on ghost hunting.

Yes, Livingstown had its secrets also. This city was a ghost portal, an entrance into the ghost zone. Ghosts would run rampant with ghosts and the citizens of this city were always in alarm. No one knew how to fight them off. There were just too many. It was not until one day till this mystery ghost fighter named "Inviso-Bill" came to help the king and queen in their quest for victory. Little did the townspeople know that it was in fact, there prince, Danny.

Danny Fenton. When he was younger, he got caught in exact entrance of the ghost portal. His DNA was fused with ghost powers, and he became a halfa. Everyday he would fight ghosts, and everyday he secret was closer and closer to being found out. His own sister, Princess Jazz already knew of his secret. She was the only one.

"Danny! Why must you always do that!" Jazz was looking up at her brother while he hovered over the ground, looking for his target.

"I have no choice. It's my duty now. Just deal with it." With that Danny zoomed away. The box ghost was terrorizing some of the citizens again and well….you get the picture.

Man, what's her problem. She's the only one who knows my secret and she is making a way to big a deal about it. Should I have trusted her? Yes, I should have. Aaagghhh…! I have such a migraine.

When Danny returned to the castle to find it in shambles. The towers were torn apart and the walls were in pieces. Danny looked around curiously to find several of the maids and butlers lying dead on the ground. Danny knew that this was a bad situation to be in. He searched the castle for hours trying to find his family. All of them were missing. They were nowhere to be found. As he was searching a baron hallway he saw green flashes in the distance. As he got closer he saw two figures battling it out. Who is that? Oh no….Jazz! But who is that with her, he looks familiar, just like…..Plasmius!

Danny took off to help defend his sister. A mere twenty feet away….fifteen…ten… He saw Jazz try to defend herself with the latest Fenton Ghost Hunting gear. "Hold on Jazz! I'll be right…."

Danny never got to finish his sentence. He saw as Plasmius took the last shot and Jazz went down.

Plasmius saw Danny approach and sent him a final warning. "Ha! You see the power evil holds. If you want the same thing to happen to the rest of your family, I suggest you join me, on the dark side. If you choose the light side, I will be forced to kill you. You have one week to decide ghost boy!" With that he disappeared.

Danny approached his sister with despair and anger in his face. She's dead. She's dead and I watched her die. It was my fault! If I was only a little sooner, I could have saved her. It should have been me. Danny knew that his wishing and arguing would help no one. He pushed his thoughts aside as he knelt next to his sister. As he touched her porcelain face he found out that it did not have its usual warm and bright feeling, but it was ice cold. He saw what looked like a stray tear fall from her face. He knew that she was gone for good.

Danny couldn't take the feelings left in him. He had to get away. He got up and flew far into the distance, all the while crying his eyes out. His only sister was dead. The only one who knew his secret. The only one who understood him. The last things he said to her were ringing through his mind. I have no choice. It's my duty now. Just deal with it.

"How could I have been so selfish? She was only trying to help and I shot her down. Why? Why was I such a dickhead? Now I'll never be able to tell her that I love her, and I truly appreciated what she did for me. Never….because she's gone."

Danny flew down towards the ground and wept his heart out. The tears would not stop rolling down his face. The misery in his life was now evident to anyone that passed. His life was over now. Who was there to help him?

As the hours passed Danny came to the conclusion that he had to return home. To face his parents and finally tell him the one thing that has been plaguing him for many years. As he returned back to the castle he stopped by the deserted hallway to pick up Jazz's body to carry back to his parents. He knew what was to come.

Jack and Maddie looked at their son with a smile, happy to see that he was alive and well. Once they looked at the body in his arms there smiles faded. Tears of sorrow filled their eyes as they saw that their eldest child was indeed dead. They sat in silence for what seemed like and eternity until Danny spoke up.

"I saw it happen. I was right there. If I was just a little bit faster…I…." Tears racked his eyes again and Danny was unable to finish was he was saying. Jack and Maddie looked at their son with a weary smile and told him the only words of comfort they could muster.

"It was not your fault. Do not blame yourself. It was going to happen no matter what. Although we don't like what the outcome was, it was fate." Maddie said this in the most confident voice she could muster.

Jack on the other hand said the one thing Danny needed most to hear. "Danny, no matter what happened or who's fault it was, you are our son. We love you so much. We just thank god that we didn't loose you too."

Danny was relieved to her his parents say this. He knew he had more to say to them and as he opened his mouth, Maddie interjected.

"Danny we have a lot to talk about, but right now is not the time. Go to bed. We will discuss things in the morning."

Danny wanted to protest but Maddie held her hand up to silence him. Danny knew there was no way he was going to get another word in. He muttered a simple good night and walked up to his room. All the while he was walking he was thinking, How do they expect me to sleep, are they insane. I have so much to tell them and they just expect me to dismiss it. I saw my sister die for Christ's sakes! There is no way I will fall asleep!

No matter the protests his mind was saying, his body had a different agenda. The fatigue of the day's events finally settled in and Danny fell right to sleep when he hit his bed. Although he did sleep, it was a dreamless one.

The next morning Danny woke up with the same sorrow that filled his body the night before. He couldn't get the scene of his sister dying out of his head. As he ate his breakfast in silence he was trying to figure out how exactly he was going to tell his parents about his gift. He didn't have time to think long because he was called into the entrance hall to discuss events with his parents.

He was so nervous. He had no clue what they would say to him. Are they going to throw me out? Will they disown me? What the hell am I supposed to do! Danny was frantic when he reached the hall. He knew that trouble was coming when he saw the expressions on his parent's faces.

Well, lets get this over with. He sighed and spoke to his parents. "Mom, Dad, I have something very important I need to tell you. Jazz's death was my fault. I know it sounds stupid and totally off the wall, but it is true. You see, well…I…I'm sort of…well you see…uh…"

"Danny we understand." Jack spoke up with a tone that shocked Danny. Maddie nodded her head and Danny just stood there dumbstruck.

"You understand? I am the reason Jazz is dead! It's all because I am a…" Danny had no chance to finish what he was saying. Maddie and Jack answered in unison, "A halfa."

Danny was in awe. They knew. This whole time! Did Jazz tell them? I am so confused? "How…you….what is going on here?"

Maddie just smiled and said, "Danny, we've known for a long time now. And before you say anything, Jazz did not tell us. We did confirm it with her, but we figured it out on our own." Danny just stood there. His mouth was wide open he was so in shock. Maddie just laughed. "We are not as stupid as you think Danny. We recognized the famous Danny Phantom to be our only son. It made us proud really, to know that our son was doing something good to save and protect his kingdom."

With this Maddie let a single tear escape her eye. Maddie looked at her husband. She knew that she was about to make the toughest decision of her life. One that would change her life forever, and there was nothing she could do about. Her once goofy husband stared back with the same look. He too was scared and feared what was to come. The decided this choice with heavy hearts knowing that without it, their family would be ruined.

"Danny, you are going to go live with you aunt."

"What!" Danny couldn't believe it. They were sending him away. "Just because of what happened? I'm not Jazz. I will not be brought down the same way she was!" Danny was exasperated at his parents' sudden decision.

"We're so sorry Danny." Jack's voice too was laden in sorrow. "This is the only way for us to ensure that you have the throne."

"You are the only remaining heir to the throne of Livingstown. Vlad will do anything in his power to ensure that he gets it for himself. He intended to kill all of us last night, but we were to quick for him. Danny you must leave to save your life!" Maddie said all of this with as much composure that she could muster, which was not much. She was sending her only son, her remaining child away from them.

Danny was still angry. I'm strong enough to fight him myself. He will not take what is not his. He already got Jazz, he won't get me. "Mom, Dad, I understand what you are saying, but I can't leave! This is my fault. He wants me to join his side and I will not! I will stay here and defend my home, my kingdom, my family!"

His parents looked away from him, ashamed of the decision that was made. They had no choice. "Danny this is the only way. We are sorry, but it's just no use. You will go to Amity Park and live with you aunt until everything is sorted out. We love you too much to see you meet the same fate as Jazz. She would want you to leave also."

With that Danny walked away knowing that his parents were right. There was nothing he could do to change what was to come. He had no choice but to obey his family's wishes. It hurt him that he would be abandon his land in its most precious time of need, but he soon realized that maybe it was for the best. After all, he is Danny Phantom, or "Inviso-Bill" as the city liked to call him.

"Besides, maybe it isn't such a bad place after all, Amity Park. I mean my Aunt Carmen seems to be a cool one. I mean she does send me all of those jazzy gifts. Ahh…we'll see what happens." Danny was talking to himself all the way back to his room where he started to pack. He was to leave early tomorrow so he could make it in Amity Park in the afternoon.

For the rest of his time in Livingstown, Danny thought about the new people and life he was going to have to live in Amity Park. He knew that no one could know his secret, or the fact that he was a prince. He knew that everything was going to be different.

"I am in so much trouble right now. This will not be easy." As Danny said his last farewells to his parents he headed off to the station where he was taking a train to his new home, and his new life.­­­­­­
