Happy Valentines Day! Aka, the day I stay in my room, go on the internet, and eat a fuck ton of food. *shoves chocolate into mouth as I speak* Well, I thought you guys might also be alone on this day so why not be alone together (yes I did just reference a FOB song don't judge me) and give you something to be happy about. I don't really do romance anyways so don't be expecting some either.
Also, I GOT A NEW KITTEN! *screams* His name is Kevin and he's staying in my room at the moment so I have him to myself! Speaking of Kevin right now he is trying to eat my feet...me-ow. (laugh at my pun it was awesome)
ANSWERING QUESTIONS
Midnight Silk Rose: YES! YOU ARE CORRECT! Your prize is *drum roll* a cookie! (::) Enjoy!
Saviorx: Seriously? Wow, it's actually being forecasted to snow on MOnday and to be honest I'm sick and tired of snow and cold weather...I just want it to be warm again! Just because my heart is ice, doesn't me my skin is!
Unlucky Alis: You are correct, but there is more to that, don't worry, you all will meet her soon enough.
Beloved Yaoi: Actually I live in North Carolina, and the weather here is seriously unpredictable. I often say "Welcome to North Carolina, where it's 80 plus degrees and sunny as hell, and then the next day it's fuck snowing." I kid you not.
Hi: First, hello to you as well! And yes you are correct! But the real reason is why. *evil laughter* Sorry that was mean this is not a laughing matter.
Roselind Fairchilde: I guess you'll just have to find out. *evil laughter*
One more thing before the disclaimer, I've started watching this show called Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir and I can say I am apart of the fandom. I don't feel like explaining the show, just know that the cast is very diverse, it takes place in Paris, there's a fucking LOVE SQUARE between the same TWO PEOPLE, and there are superheros who are a ladybug and a cat (their people but that's their costumes), and magic. If you're not curious and/or hooked now I would sugjest checking it out. I promise it is awesome. Unfortunately it's only airing in France, the USA, and South Korea. Sorry :P
I've rambled on long enough, Happy Valentines Day and hope you enjoy the chapter! *eats more food*
Disclaimer: Roses are red, violets are blue, I don't own Danny Phantom, and I doubt you do too.
Chapter 23
He closed the door quietly behind him, breathing a sigh of relief when no sound came from the hinges. The boy looked at the stairs nearby, yet just as he was about to dart to them he heard someone speak.
"Danny! Where have you been?"
Danny slowly turned to the voice, but he knew already that it wouldn't be his parents who were standing in the living room. No, it was someone else…
A girl, about ten years old, stood in the lounge. Her long orange hair was held back by a teal headband with a bow on top. Her arms were crossed over her chest and her aqua eyes were narrowed at the younger boy.
Danny cast his eyes to the floor, not wanting to see his sister's stare. His hand subconsciously went to the back of his neck. "Hi...Jazz…" He said in a timid voice.
Jazz sighed. "Danny, you know you can't just sneak out like that. What if something happened? What would mom and dad say if they found out? This isn't safe."
Danny shifted his feet. "But Jazz...they're my friends. I don't get to see them a lot." He said, cautiously peering through his hair to look at her.
Jazz's gaze softened and she unfolded her arms, letting them rest by her side now. "You're eight, Danny. And it's almost midnight. What do you guys even do?" She asked, taking a step closer to her brother.
Danny look up at Jazz fully, still keeping his hand at the back of his neck. "Nothing much. We just talk mostly, we didn't get a lot of time to play over the summer." He said.
"Danny, still, it's not safe. And I thought you are in the same class this year?"
"We are!" Danny smiled at this, his baby blue eyes brightening. "But Sam had to do a lot of stuff with her parents over the summer, and Tucker went on vacation for two weeks and just got back. Please don't tell mom and dad!" He was pleading now, the sparkle in his eyes becoming dim. Jazz could tell that his friends were important, but her 'big-sister nature' still wanted him to be safe.
"Danny, this isn't safe, I'm going to tell mom and dad-"
"I promised we would see the stars!"
Jazz stopped. She knew about her younger brother's dream of becoming an astronaut and how he loved space. Danny always had a fascination with space, and despite her urge to tell and protect him, something stopped her.
"We-we look at the stars too," Danny said, fumbling with his hands, "And talk. A-and I know you don't understand why we do, but…" He trailed off, his eyes once again looking towards the floor.
Jazz still didn't completely understand, but abandoned the idea of telling their parents. She walked up to the boy and hugged him. Danny went stiff that the sudden contact, yet soon relaxed into his sister's arms, wrapping his own around her.
"I won't tell Danny. Just...be careful, okay? I'm your big sister...I worry about you...I'm supposed to protect you…"
The hug loosened a bit and Danny looked up at her. "Why do you always worry about me?"
Jazz smiled at him, still hugging him. "Like I said, I'm your big sister! It's my job to worry about you! It's what siblings do! Just make sure to let me know next time at least, okay?"
Danny smiled as well, the bright shine dancing in his eyes once more. "Okay!"
He wrapped his arms tightly around her again, a smile plastered on his face.
Jazz was happy too, and while she couldn't help feeling worried, she would make sure he was happy first. Just as she was about to break the hug and go to her room to read, Danny mumbled something, that if it hadn't been so quiet she wouldn't have heard.
"I love you Jazz...you're the best big sister ever..."
Jazz smiled again and decided her book could wait.
Jazz was crying hysterically. However, her tears were those of joy and not sadness. As soon as she saw the message, she replied instantly. How she managed to see through her tears to type was beyond her, but she managed. She didn't even know what exactly she wrote, but it didn't matter, she knew that they were safe, well...mostly safe. She didn't even want to think of what could happen if they weren't.
The excitement was universal on both ends. They were about an hour and a half away from the Far Frozen when the message came back. Despite how calm they looked beforehand, the tears and hugs they shared did no justice to describe the contact with the older Fenton sibling. Thankfully no one heard, but in their privacy away from the class they rejoiced, preferring to keep the happy moment to themselves.
Once again, on the other line in the human realm, Jazz sat on her bed, clutching her phone to her chest, smiling. She either didn't notice Haileigh at the door, who was in deep thought, or plain didn't care. Knowing her brother and his friends were safe was all that mattered at the moment.
I'm your big sister, it's my job to worry about you...and no matter how old you are or what happens, I will always want to protect you, to watch over you, you are your friends, because that's who I am…
And I love you too, Danny…
The class almost didn't notice the cold air that was slowly descending on them, but too soon were the shivers prominent and they were low-key huddling for warmth. At first the temperature was not that bad, but slowly did the coldness take over and the ghostly crew members began to pass out thick coats that had already been prepared. Some of the class grabbed at them eagerly, but other were wary of them and their intentions. After seeing their own friends take hold of one or when the crew explained that Danny himself had personally brought them aboard before they left did they take one of their own. The Fentons refused to take one, preferring their HAZMAT suits they had kept under close guard. Jack had to admit that the coats did look much warmer though…
The temperature had to be below zero degrees now, breath came out in puffs and a few classmates even joked about them being Danny Phantom with how their breath condensate in the air. Honestly no one found it funny.
All too soon the trireme stopped and the class was confused as to why it did. Some of the more curious classmates ran over the other over side of the boat only to gaze out into what looked to be an endless plain of pure white ice and snow. The awe on their faces did no justice.
Soon a servant on the ship called for the class to follow him, letting the class trail behind like lost puppies. They reached the boarding plank, which was now down and resting on a snow drift, yet was carefully placed signalling that it was safe to step off there.
Cautiously, the class walked off, one by one, gathering at the bottom and waiting. They are scared, which seemed to be common on this trip to hell, and their uneasy looks and nervous faces only give evidence. many began to look around for Danny and his friends, becoming even more anxious when none of them were to be found. DId they leave them here for dead? Was a ghost going to come and kill them all? They didn't even care about how much they had come to rely on the four, not including the kid that had, for some reason, come along for the ride.
Soon, a figure appeared on the horizon, gradually growing bigger and bigger each passing second. Some of them began to whisper about what it was as the shape of it began to materialize, taking the form of a shuttle one would see in a city. A few classmates hid behind their friends in fear, making desperate pleas to any deity they could think of.
Then the shuttle stopped and a hissing sound filled the crisp, cold air as the door opened and a too familiar face appeared, causing the class to sigh with relief.
Danny's raven hair and baby blue eyes were a sight to behold as was his crooked smile when he noticed the class's expressions.
He stepped down from the shuttle onto the snow covered ground, only for his place to be taken up by Sam and Tucker who were peaking out at the class. Valerie joined them a second later.
Danny clapped his hands together, catching everyone's attention. "Hey everyone. Sorry for leaving you here for a few minutes, I had to make sure our ride was here. Anyways, I would personally like to welcome you to the Far Frozen." He said, gesturing at the landscape around him. The class glanced around too, not noticing anything truly eye-catching.
It was then that Sam, Tucker, and Valerie stepped down from the shuttle as well, preferring to stand by their friend. It was then that the class began to notice Danny looked slightly nervous as well, which immediately caused the class's nerves to boast ten-fold.
Danny chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his neck. "Uh, just a heads up though. The people are not going to hurt you and are actually quite nice." He said, causing confusion among his peers.
The friends were prepared for their reactions, and steeled themselves. It was Tucker who called Frostbite.
A few seconds later a large yeti appeared at the doorway, smiling (well, his version of a smile) at the class. Time seemed to stale for a second…
...Then all hell broke loose.
BA DA DONE BITCHES! Sorry, you guys are kittens not bitches, you're not dogs.
ALSO I have published a little short story I wrote on Inkitt called The End of the Road. I originally wrote it for class, and only had less than 80 minutes to write it, but I think it's alright, and a lot of my classmates like it, so why not check it out? Just like here my profile name is KittyWithAKnife so check it out or I will kill you. Ok, ok, I won't kill you….maybe. *evil smirk* Remember I only had less than 80 damn minutes to brainstorm, write, and edit the damn thing so don't judge too harshly. ALso I have been informed it gets kind of sad at the end... #SorryNotSorry
QUESTIONS BECAUSE SUFFERING
1. How do you think the class will react to Frostbite and the Far Frozen in general? I'm just genuinely curious to see what you guys think tbh
2. What was with the flashback at the beginning of the chapter? What purpose does that serve? Little hint, I just slapped you with some foreshadowing that I have a feeling you won't be expecting.
And that's all for now, remember to review, favorite, and follow and be sure to check out The End of the Road on Inkitt. Just take my word and check it out, if you like my story here then you should like that story. I'll leave a link on my profile for you guys as well. :D
Well that's all for now, Happy Valentines Day and I'm going to get some more food and continue to be a internet hobo. PEACE! *shoves more chocolate into mouth*
