Danny Phantom

Hello, welcome! This is one of my very first fan fictions. I have worked hard to maintain each character. Danny and Sam's mum have a good bond within this story. Unlike others I have decided to start Danny and Sam's relationship straight away.. this is dated from after episode 53... roughly two years ahead. So they're around 16 years old? which isin't to bad. This story will start off as T moderated but it will be marked as M.

This story will also conclude main characters and main ghosts. Which occurs as the story goes on.. im hopping to add some fun twists and a joyfull ride for you to read!

The first chapter is dedicated to Danny's love and protection for his Sam.

Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom (RR)

It was almost two in the morning when Danny heard knocking on his bedroom window. At first, he thought it was someone outside his door, but then he saw Sam's face outside his window. He was shocked to see her at this time, he opened his window and allowed her to come in, straight away he could tell something was wrong. She was shaking, violently almost. Danny pulled Sam into a tight hug "Sam, what's wrong?" Danny asked, he could clearly see that his girlfriend was not her usual self. He spotted some slight bruising around her neck. "Sam?" he said again, but this time his voice was deeper. He was now very concerned.

Danny guided her towards his bed so she could sit down, he kneeled down in front of her "It was my Dad" she quietly said. Danny looked at her in a confused way, he waited for a moment to see if she would continue on. He has never seen Sam like this before. Sam has a very strong barrier, where she rarely lets anyone take her down. "Sam, what do you mean?" Danny didn't want to over whelm her, but at the Same time he needed to for her own safety. "My Dad was drunk, I tried to stop him from hurting mum" Sam said in between her tears that began to poor down her face "He hit her!" she said out loud in clear anger. Danny embraced her, she was shaking again. "I tried to protect my mum, thinking he wouldn't attack me. But he did. He tried… He tried to strangle me." Danny's face went a pale white colour.

"Where is he now?" he managed to say, his voice was calm but inside his blood was pulsing fast. Sam shrugged "My mum told me to run away when I could. So, I did. I didn't know where else to go other than here, I'm sorry." Sam said as more tears came. Danny looked at his clock, it was way too early to wake his parents. But he needed to check on Sam's mum. he was unsure about leaving her alone "Sam, do you reckon, if I can try to get Tucker to come around here. You'll be okay so I check on your mum?" Sam shook her head. A quiet sigh came from Danny. "I just want to be alone" Danny nodded. He sat down next to her on his bed "where's your cell?" Danny asked, Sam got her cell from her pocket "Keep it on you. I'm going to fly over to your house, to check on your mum…Okay. You can have a shower or sleep, lay on the bed. Do what you feel is comfortable, ill be back soon ok?" Sam nodded, before Danny left, he kissed her sweetly on her lips "Your safe" he said reassuringly.

Danny flew as quick as he possibly could to her parent's mansion. Usually it doesn't take long unless a ghost decides to intervene. But hopefully at this time no troubles will happen, so he hopes! Sam's house was in view, most lights where on from what he could see. He turned invisible and went straight inside her house… He didn't need to knock to let anyone know he was their… There was no time for that. As soon as he entered Danny could smell strong scents of alcohol, he roamed the halls and found no sight of Sam's mum. He checked Sam's bedroom then her parent's bedroom. Danny was slightly worried, when he entered the kitchen, he was stunned to see such mess. Smashed plates where on the floor and broken glasses. What shocked him to the bone more, was the bloody smeared handprint on the kitchen wall…" He's not dead" said a distressed female voice, Danny recognised that voice straight away.

Pamela Manson entered the kitchen. Her dress was torn, her hair was in a messy up do bun. Her lips where bleeding, he knew for sure that she was attacked the most. Danny stood still, he didn't want to approach her and freak her out more, so he maintained his distance for her own wellbeing. "What happened?" Danny asked. He was curious to know the event that took place here. He needed to know where Mr Manson was. "Welcome to my life Daniel. This is not the first time where he has acted like this… but this is the first time where he's touched our own Daughter!" Mrs Manson said, she picked up an empty glass and threw it across the kitchen.

"I'm the one who takes his beatings, I've always protected her. But this time it was different… he was far too drunk to acknowledge what he was doing." Danny's hands clenched into tight fists. No words could be summed up right now as to how Danny felt. "is she safe?" Mrs Manson asked quietly, Danny nodded. Mrs Mason leaned herself against the counters for support "He's never coming back, I made sure of it. Daniel you must know that I can't stay here for a while. I need to leave" Mrs Manson sighed she needed to do what was best for her. Yet she knew she couldn't take her daughter with her. What was she supposed to do? She fisted both hands into her head and crouched down on the floor. "Mrs Manson I can look after Sam. my family can support her. I love her too much to lose her" Danny said as he got down to her level "I've always known you would do her good… it was him that neglected the idea of you two being together. He valued money and investments more than our own happiness" she said, they both sat down on the floor and stared into the distance for a while.

"If my daughter did live with you, I would send your parents some money for her wellbeing" Mrs Manson said. Danny was somewhat relived that she had no intention of taking Sam with her. Danny has been with Sam for two years now, he would not let anything ruin what they had. "Mrs Manson, where would you go?" Danny asked, would she say goodbye to her own daughter before she left? "Oh, I don't know Daniel." She took a long pause before finishing her words "Anywhere… anywhere so I can be free from him. Promise me, promise me that you will protect her?" Danny nodded. Of course, he would, without a doubt.

Back at the Fenton's house, Sam eventually decided to take a refreshing shower. She wanted her body to feel clean. To remove what he had touched, yes okay his marks will remain but she can get rid of that nasty alcohol smell that was lingering on her. Unfortunately, she didn't have her bath stuff. So, she burrowed some of Danny's. As she began to scrub herself flashbacks of her father's face roamed her thoughts. She held her eyes shut, fighting back the tears… but her soul allowed her to cry. Her father has never tried to harm her in that way. Why had he suddenly? Sam bought her fingers to her neck, where he tried to strangle her. She held back a sobbing chock of tears. The pain she could remember was unforgivable.

Could she ever forgive him? Was he a father to her? No, she could never forgive him. Her heart aches for her mum. She hopes that she is alright. Sam hated the fact that she was not strong enough to stand up to her own father. Seeing her mother in such agony made everything worse. Sam decided that she had bathed enough, it was time to get out. She realised that she had no spare clothes to wear, she burrowed one of Danny's large t-shirts. She allowed her wet hair to dry naturally. Hopefully Danny would be back soon.

"Mrs Manson are you sure you don't want to say goodbye to her face to face?" Danny said as he stood by the waiting Taxi outside the Manson mansion. "No Daniel, everything you need is in that bag. I wrote her a letter… get back to her. She needs you." With that, Mrs Manson gave Danny a long hug before getting in the taxi. She waved him goodbye as the Taxi drove off into the distance.

Danny now stood Infront of a house, which once used to have a happy family. But now it was torn apart. The house was empty, it was a lost property. Those happy memories are not destroyed, all because of one man. A man who was meant to love his wife, a man who was meant to protect his daughter… that man has failed. Danny is going to make sure that Sam's father never lays a finger on her again, he made a promise and he will keep that promise.

When Danny made it back to his room, he was suprised to see that Sam had fallen asleep. she was curled up on his bed wearing one of his t-shirts... he smiled. Thankfully it was a friday, so they had no school to worry about. But Danny would have to face his family in the morning. He couldn't see it being an issue, Sam was already like another daughter to his mum anyway. She got along well with Jazz just fine. So truthfully he had nothing to worry about.

He put Sam's duffled bag down, he wasn't sure what was in it. Mrs Manson was taking her time to pack some of Sam's stuff for now. A yawn escpaed his mouth, for sure he was tired, it's been a long night. He took his clothes off and jumped into a loose pair of shorts. He climbed into his bed and gentle pulled Sam closer to him. Her mothers words lingered his mind 'Promise me you'll protect her'... Danny looked down at Sam, "I will" he said, he kissed her forehead and closed his eyes.

Thank you for reading the first chapter! if it's small i am sorry but I will make sure that the next chapets are longer. I enjoyed writing this, I've always loved this show. As a kid I was soo happy when they actually put them together. Bit annoyed that it was done right at the end! Yes Danny's secret will still be exposed in this story.. You will notice that as the chapters go by :)

Untill next time :) Thankyou - Stitch x
