The Nightmare
A Danny Phantom FanFiction by Cordria
Chapter 6 – Flash Forward
He blinked. Who had said that? It had sounded like himself. But yet he hadn't said anything…
That was when it walked through the door. He recognized the creature from the basement that had released him from the ghost-shield. It stared at him with those haunted eyes. "Save me, Danny!" he heard echo softly through his head.
His mother glanced at the creature in his form. "Why not sweetie?" she asked it, her cold eyes quickly centering back on his face.
It smiled vaguely. "He's one of the good guys. He rescued me four months ago, remember?" It glanced in his direction and sent him a stare. He didn't remember rescuing the creature. But obviously, it wanted him to play along.
She lowered the weapon slightly and took her eyes off of him to glance again at the thing she thought was her son. "I suppose… but it is still a ghost…"
"Let him go, Mom. You can catch him next time." It reached over and took the picture out of his nerveless fingers. Then it stood there for a few seconds and watched him. "You can go." He could hear her foot tapping impatiently on the floor, and could see her fingers drumming the barrel of the ecto-weapon.
He hesitated, staring at it. Then, he glanced over at her. What was going on? He needed time to think, time to get his questions answered. Leaving would be a good idea, he knew. That would give him time to find his friends and figure out what was happening.
He took a few steps towards the door when all of the kitchen lights flickered red for a second. He shivered at the sudden cold chill. The kitchen was totally silent. He looked around – the kitchen was suddenly empty. Where had she gone? Where had it gone? He curled his arms around his middle as his insides twisted evilly and he sank to the floor
Lying on the floor was another newspaper. He picked it up and stared at the date. April now. He turned his glowing green eyes towards the window and wondered at that for a moment. Perhaps a better question might be where had he gone?
