Ok, I'm back, today I had a day off school coz I had a headache, a sore throat, sore eyes, blocked and runny nose, chest ache and a bit of s stomach ache in the morning. I was also tired but, I got some more sleep this morning… So, HERE it is, now, Fungus, you have asked me if the kid was made up or real and, for the curious people out there, yes, I made him up and you shall learn his identity in this chapter…

Disclaimer: The only person that I own so far is James, who you do not know… yet! But, as I was saying, I do not own Danny Phantom in any way.

Living A Lie

Chapter 7 – I Will Eat James' Brain.

I walked down the street in my red ghost hunting suit. I was still looking for the kid with the blue shirt and brown shorts.

I was just about to give up when I saw a boy who was about two years younger than me, wearing a blue shirt and brown shorts. They looked EXACTLY like the ones I saw in Cinema 6 after Dani had transformed and flown away with the unconscious but alive boy in her hands.

I rushed up behind the boy. He didn't see me but I saw that he was carrying a stick in his hands. If I scared him he could throw at me and run off, then I would lose him and Dani's secret could be known by tomorrow. I hid a small ecto-blaster behind my back and stepped in front of him.

"I need to talk to you." I told him.

"I don't even KNOW you!" he pointed out.

"I don't know you either but if you don't come, I will shoot," I pointed to my gun. "I just want to ask you something."

He swallowed and managed to squeak an 'okay'. I lead him to an empty bench in the park which was across the road. No one would be able to hear our conversation about what had happened when Pariah Dark decided to pay the movie theatre a visit.

"What do you want?" he asked.

"Were you at Cinema 6 around three hours ago?" I asked him, never taking my eyes away from his.

"Yes." He answered truthfully.

"Do you know Dani Phantom, the one that goes to Casper High?" I asked him.

"Yes, she's in a few of my classes." He muttered.

"You know who she is, what she is, don't you?" I asked.

"Yes, she is like, a human AND a ghost, right?" he asked me.

"Yes, she's a halfa, but you must keep this secret otherwise I will blow your brains out of your head and eat them for dinner." I threatened.

"Yes, I will… I will k-k-keep it secret, d-don't hurt me!" he begged.

"You may go, but if you tell ANYONE, I swear, you are going to wish you hadn't." I dismissed him.

He ran away from me as fast as he could, only looking back when he was about to turn a corner. I meant what I said, if he did ANYTHING to hurt that girl, I would do something to him, I don't know what. Before he rounded the corner, I asked him one more thing.

"WHAT IS YOUR NAME?" I called out to him.

"JAMES, JAMES GERKIN!" he told me and ran out of sight.

"If you DARE say anything, I WILL have to kill you." I whispered to no one.

Danny

We wandered around town for a while, looking at shops and stopping to get snacks. We didn't feel like returning home, it was such a lovely, warm, sunny day. The sun was just setting when our ghost senses went off and we saw Klemper, hanging around Casper High, trying to do something that was still a mystery.

I looked to Dani who looked to me, saying that she could handle it. Ever since she had come to stay with us, she had helped me out with ghost hunting and I had helped her when she needed me while Jazz helped teach her so she could catch up at school, she had never been before this week.

I watched Dani run behind a tree. I looked around to see that no one was around us and she transformed. She flew up to Klemper who sent an ice blast at her, freezing her in her spot. I was about to help her when she broke the ice with energy blasts.

She punched Klemper for a while, then started throwing energy balls at him. He was getting pretty weak but she liked to train on weak ghosts who couldn't do anything, I would help her with blocking.

After a few minutes, she got bored and sucked Klemper into the Fenton Thermos that she always carried around, like me. She looked around quickly and changed back into my sister and we started to walk home.

The streets were quiet for once and everyone had returned to their homes. It was the start of winter and the sun was disappearing earlier than usual. It wasn't too cold for us; we were used to the cold. We could feel it but we enjoyed it, after fighting ghosts.

By the time we arrived at home, we smelt dinner cooking. I looked in to see that Jazz was cooking it for once, probably sick of mum and dad's dangerous dinners. I saw that the table was already set and went up into my room to get to work on my part of my project.

The project was about some boring book that Lancer had made us read. I hadn't payed attention but I knew what it was about. I wrote some things down and added a few pictures. It looked pretty good to me, I just had to wait for Valerie to complete her part and bring it over tomorrow afternoon.

Jazz called to everyone, telling us that dinner was ready. I was starving and ran downstairs and into the kitchen. I saw that mum and dad were already at the table, mum eating politely and dad spitting his food all over the place.

I looked at the plate in front of me and saw that the food Jazz had been making was Potato Fritters and steak. I picked up my knife and fork and looked at the food, wondering if I would get food poisoning if I ate it. Slowly, I cut up a piece of steak and chewed. It didn't seem too bad so I continued to eat.

Soon, I had wiped my plate clean. I looked around to see that everyone else was finished and were clearing the table. I picked up my plate, put it in the sink and went upstairs to ring Tucker and Sam.

We talked about what had happened after they had left the theatre and what I did for the rest of the day. They couldn't talk for too long, their parents called them to watch something on TV at the same time. I looked at the clock and saw it was 8:50pm and we weren't allowed to watch TV, it was the time we had to do homework or something else.

I saw Dani lying on my floor, reading a magazine as I walked into my room. I had been talking to Tucker and Sam outside; I wanted some peace and quiet. I went past my sister and into the bathroom to have a shower.

As the warm water trickled down my body, I thought about telling Valerie who I was. Since she didn't seem to mind Danny Phantom now, and she accepted Dani, maybe she could learn to accept me.

I turned the shower off and got changed into my silk pyjamas. I decided not to tell Valerie just yet. I went downstairs and saw that mum and dad were working on a new invention. I listened to them explain what it would do until I got bored of it.

I went online for a while, chatting to whoever I could. I didn't have too many people to chat to, most were doing other things. Soon everyone went offline and I looked at the time to see it was 1:35am.

I turned off the computer and went into bed, yawning. I fell asleep quite quickly, into a dreamless sleep.

I woke at 10:07am and looked to see if Dani was awake. The bathroom door was shut and she was obviously taking a shower. I got out of bed and walked downstairs to get some breakfast. I saw a plate of pancakes piled on top and looked at the note beside it.

Danny and Dani,

Sorry we had to rush, the mayor called us in for a meeting about something important, please share this food, or cook some of your own, Jazz has gone out to do homework again,

Love mum and dad.

I chucked the note in the bin and piled half of the pancakes onto a clean plate and put maple syrup on top. I took a seat at the table and began to eat. When I was halfway through my meal, Dani came down in her blue jumper and red shorts.

"Hey Danny, what's for breakfast?" Dani asked me.

"Mum and dad left some pancakes, those on the bench are yours. They had to go to an important meeting or something and Jazz has gone out to do homework again so, we have the house to ourselves." I explained.

"Cool." She muttered and grabbed the syrup and pancakes.

I wasn't hungry by the time I got to my last pancake so I put it on the bench for someone else to eat if they wanted it.

I heard sounds of people banging on the door and yelling coming from outside. I went to the front door and slowly opened it to see a HUGE crowd outside our house with cameras and microphones.

"Daniel Fenton, Daniel Fenton, over here!" a lady with black hair called out.

"Is Danielle Fenton really half ghost?" a man asked.

"Is Dani Phantom your sister, Danielle Fenton?" another asked.

I slammed the door shut and ran into the kitchen to shut the blinds. When they were shut, I turned to Dani. She had put her plate on the bench and had eaten my pancake that I didn't want.

"Dani, we have a problem." I told her.

"I know, we are out of maple syrup." She said.

"NOT THAT! Worse, way worse." I yelled.

"What could be worse than running out of maple syrup?" she asked me.

"Dani, listen carefully. Everyone-knows-you-are-a-halfa." I told her.

She gasped and looked at me with unbelieving eyes, asking if it was true without using words. I nodded and she turned around and walked into the lounge room. I followed her and sat on the couch beside her.

"How did they find out?" she asked me.

"I don't know, only Valerie knew that you were half ghost… VALERIE!" I gasped.

"What are you doing?" Dani asked me.

"I'm going to find Valerie." I told Dani.

"I'm coming with you." She told me.

"No, you're not." I told her.

"Yes, I can take care of myself, who cares if they know my secret? I'm only a clone, I don't care, I'm coming and that's final." She told me.

I nodded and we both transformed, it would be hard to get out of the door. We flew through the front wall and turned visible as we looked around, trying to see if Valerie happened to be near.

The crowd saw us and rushed underneath us and started yelling. We both pretended they were there until someone threw a rock up at us. We looked down to see that the reporters were still yelling at us and asking questions.

"CAN YOU SEE HER?" Dani yelled over the crowd.

"NO, SHE MUST BE HOME!" I told her.

"WHERE DOES SHE LIVE?" Dani asked me.

"OVER THERE!" I said as I pointed to her house.

"LET'S GO THEN!" Dani and I flew off towards Valerie's house.
