Davey stared at Danny, waiting for an answer as the ghost stood nervously. Danny had no idea how to react, or if he could even save himself. He thought of just telling him that was his ghost name, but that just woudln't work, Davey was too smart.
"Alright," Danny sighed, "you caught me. You must think I'm dreadful." He murmmed looking down
"Well not really, my judgement is reserved for later." Davey answered. "So are you dead?"
Danny looked at him with a crooked smile, "Well, not really."
"You don't know, but I don't understand."
"I can explain it to you." Danny offered, "But it's kinda a long story."
"We have plenty of time, but first lets fix that arm your bleeding, or something." Davey said observing the green ectoplasm dripping from Danny's arm.
--------------------------
"Sam what was that phone call about?" Asked Kim as he edged closer to her.
"Uh nothing, nothing." Sam answered flustered.
"Yeah, I always talk about ghosts on my phone calls too." Geoff joked, but shut his mouth as Sam gave him a death glare.
"Look guys it's nothing, it wasn't really about ghosts." Sam tried convincing them, but it wasn't working at the least.
"Right, and I'm not really a bass player. Something's up so spill it." Hunter coaxed.
"Guys I'd like to tell you but I really can't it's kinda complicated." Sam sighed, she couldn't give away Danny, besides she was scared to death about how Davey was going to deal with the fact of the matter.
"Something's definately wrong. Sam go home." Kim said crossing his arms but looking at her with concern.
"What! No, we got to get this new record going our fans..."
"Can wait, Sam we care about you and your life, and if your needed at home, just go."Hunter added putting an arm around her.
Sam looked at Hunter with his bleached blonde hair and soft brown eyes, then she looked to Kim who had a black quiff and soft hazel green eyes. Geoff was smiling although he always was. "Ok, guys. Thanks."
"No prob, Sammykins." Geoff smiled as Sam turned around to grab her coat.
She whipped around and glared at him, "That is the last time I ever take you to meet my parents, and if I wasn't in a hurry I'd murder you."
The guys laughed and she blushed a little, they were always having fun. And it was even more fun when their tour manager Smith Puget was around. She loved all her moments with them. But she couldn't spend any more time here, she had to make sure Danny was ok, Davey had said the ghost had nearly killed him.
--------------------------
Danny stared down at his bandaged arm, and sighed thoughtfully, where to start? Davey came in with his vegan mochalatte and sat on the couch with one leg folded beneath him facing Danny.
"Alright," Danny began. "Well about what you saw." He laughed nervously. "Well I'm half ghost, you see my parents were ghost hunters and they had all sorts of crazy inventions. Uhh, well one day I was in their lab and had a lab accident in a thing called a ghost portal, it's a demention to the Ghost Zone. When I went inside I was zapped, by what I guess you can call ghost energy."
"So you were half killed?" Davey asked putting the cup to his lips and taking a sip.
"That's one way to put it. I have all the abilities of a ghost and a human I'm what you can call a halfa, there are only really two in existence. Not counting my clone of course."
The man in black lowered the cup to his lap and looked at him oddly. "You have a clone? You mean there's another guy out there that looks just like you and has the same powers?"
"Uhh it's a girl." Danny corrected uncomfortably.
Davey blinked at him, he was now officially confused and bewildered by this man, yet strangely intrigued."How long have you been like this?"
"Since I was fourteen, Sam and my other friend Tucker were there when I turned into what we call Danny Phantom."
"Clever." Davey added.
"Yeah, my sister found out later, and of course all my enemies know too. And well looks like you know too. But you just can't tell anyone. I know it's one of the weirdest things you've probably heard, but if word ever got out that I was a living ghost the government would come and kill and or experiment on me."
"I see. So being a ghost, is it well hard?" Davey asked, he didn't know exactly how to put it.
"I guess so, but it has it's perks." Danny shrugged relaxing a bit. "But sometimes it just plain sucks."
"Oh?" Davey raised an eyebrow in interest.
Danny began to explain some of his adventures in detail while Davey listened, if he hadn't seen the change himself he wouldn't have believed such, shall we say ghost tales. "Yeah, it's kinda cool to fly, turn invisible, walk through walls, and take over people. But..." Danny's voice grew slightly distance as he wavered a bit in his sitting position," it can be really, really draining."
Davey watched as he just fell over and lay on the floor, he winced at thud but smiled slightly." So I see. "He mumbled to himself.
Davey got up and put his empty cup down on the table, he was able to pick Danny up off the floor and drag him onto the couch. He was glad that he was so skinny.
Just as he threw a blanket over him Sam came bursting through the door. "Ok where's Danny?" She asked ina frantic and worried tone.
Davey rolled his eyes and hushed her with his finger and gestured toward the couch. Sam ran over a looked frightened. "What happened?" She whispered.
"Sam calm down, the ghost didn't do this, he said he was feeling drained."
Sam sighed, "So Davey welcome to the fold. You can't..."
"Yeah I know tell anyone."
"Not even Jade." Sam said.
"I don't think he'd believe me anyway. Ghosts, imagine me blathering about seeing dead people. They'd lock me away from the world thinking I was insane. But..." Davey added, "this sort of experiance would make a fantastic song."
Sam shook her head as he went to retrieve his beloved lyric book, he was always writing in that thing. Davey came back and sat in the chair scribbling in his book, but he wasn't writing. When he finished he showed her the sketch he made of the Spirit of Halloween.
"The Fright Knight?" Sam said looking at the drawing.
"Yeah that's who was here."
"Oh no..."
"Oh no what?" Davey asked.
"If the Fright Knight came, then Davey we got trouble." Sam looked at him with worry.
"Of course we do..." Davey sighed dejectedly.
yeah I'll leave you guys here. I'll update soon.
