Darkness within

Shout out to PrincessSaraRose

"Ow…," Atticus mumble opening his eyes slightly and found himself in a cast with some type of bandages around his head; Atticus groan in pain slightly and sat up slowly, he held his head and soon realised Aria was sitting beside him. "Aria?" he asked smiling at her.

"Hey there stupid," Aria said smiling at him and was relieved to see he was alright.

"Funny" Atticus said rolling his eyes, "Will I live?"

"Yeah, you will, sadly" she teased and gently punch his good arm, "The doctors says your head will be fine, and you just have a broken arm….. besides that, you're going to be fine"

"You've got balls that for sure," Danny said while he walked in the room with Ember behind him.

"Dipstick!" Ember said hitting his back, "Don't use that kind of language!"

"Ow!" he groans and looked at her, as she casually passed ahead of him.

"I must say….. I've never met anyone who would try to fight Pariah Dark! And without any kind of weapon either" Ember said smiling and walking towards him, "Thank you for keeping Aria safe"

"Maybe I won't murder you after all," Danny said smiling and crossing his arms, before being hit in the chest by his wife.

"Not cool, dad" Aria said rolling her eyes

"I'm teasing," Danny said patting Atticus's shoulder, "Thank you"

"No problem," Atticus said smiling back at him and felt flattered, he was being complimented by Danny Fenton himself.

Hospital's main entrance

Avelina tried to maintain her calm composure while she entered the hospital with her husband, she had to maintain the fearless businesswoman she was. But inside she was a wreck! She had just received word that her son was in the hospital, apparently, her crazy son decided to pick a fight with Pariah Dark of all ghost!

"Atticus….. what was he thinking?! Our poor, boy!" Avelina said with a worried tone, as she was plagued by the images of her son injured.

"He's a strong young man, dear," Jasper said trying to keep his normal and strict composure as well, he looked away slightly and let his true emotions show. Jasper worriedly hurried towards the counter and asked for his son room, he quickly took his wife's hand as the two made their way. The two entered the room where they saw their son, he smiled at his parents with his broken arm while Aria and her parents stood around him.

"Mother, father, you've come to visit," he said and was a bit surprised! He assumed his mother would come to check on him, but he didn't expect his father.

"He's probably making sure the heir to the Lockwood fortune is alright," Atticus thought while his parents walked closer to him, "And ensuring the side branch wouldn't get the fortune either"

"Atticus!" Avelina said as she covered her mouth slightly at the sight of her son's injuries, she smiled and hug him. "Thank goodness, you're alright," she said.

"I didn't think you would come, mother," he said and hug her slightly

"What are you talking about?! Of course, we came!" Avelina said exasperatedly and glared at him, "What were you thinking?!"

"Please don't get mad at him! He was just trying to help me against Pariah" Aria immediately said

"This isn't any of their faults," Danny said stepping closer to them, "I take full responsibility, Mrs Lockwood. If I had arrived sooner this wouldn't have happened"

"No need to apologise, Danny Phantom" Jasper said shaking his head slightly, "My son shouldn't have interfered"

"Then Aria would have been dead," Ember said simply while she stared at her, "Isn't this better? Atticus is injured, yes! But both of our children are still alive, aren't they?"

"Mom," Aria mumbled staring back at her

"Yes... I haven't thought about it" Jasper said looking down slightly, "Please forgive me"

"No need," Ember said hugging Aria in her arms, "I understand where you're coming from"

"We're going leave you two alone with your son," Danny said wrapping his arm around Ember, "Until we meet again"

"Bye, Atticus" Aria said waving at him while her mother held her other hand.

"Let's go home, dear," Danny said closing the door behind them.

"Bye" Atticus waved lazily and smiled as well

A few days later

"Aria?" Ember knocked while she entered her room, "Are you awake?"

"Yeah," she said pulling down her shirt while she walked towards her mother, "What is it, mom?"

"Your father says….. that your scar is gone?" Ember asked raising a brow slightly, "Is it true?"

"Yeah….. it's really weird," Aria said lifting her shirt slightly to show her mother, her scarless stomach. Ember crossed her arms while she stared, she lifted her shirt higher and allowed it to rest on Aria's breast. Ember frown and went down and touched her skin and couldn't believe the scar was gone.

"Hey! Ember is there any more coffee?" Danny asked careless walking inside his daughter's room without knocking.

"DAD!" Aria shouted quickly pulling her shirt down while Ember sighed.

"SORRY!" Danny shouted quickly covering his eyes and backing away, only to hit the wall, "UGH! MY BACK!"

"GET OUT, DAD!" Aria shouted and started to throw her stuff animals from her bed at her father, "MOM!"

"Danny!" Ember shouted as well.

"SORRY!" Danny shouted as well and quickly left the room before running downstairs. Danny rubs his hand behind his neck and sighed in relief, he gazed at the ceiling and just knew he was going to get an ear full from his wife later.

"Danny!" Danny quickly turned around and saw Ember glaring at him

"I…. I didn't mean to!" Danny nervously said and backing away from her slightly, "You know that right, Ember?"

"We've talked about this!" Ember said sighed and hitting his chest, "Knock before you enter Aria's room!"

"Sorry! I don't go to her room often... And… and I'm just used to…. Like….. just walking in with you" he said backing away slightly while Ember kept hitting him, "You don't care!"

"Because we MARRIED!" Ember shouted and hit his big stupid head, "It's not the same rule with your daughter!"

"Okay! Okay!" he said and holding her hand, so she would stop hitting him.

"You must always knock when there is a girl in the house! Always! Well, you must always knock for anyone, but especially for women!" Ember said glaring at him and moving her hand from his grip, "Moron!"

"And I love you too," Danny said laughing slightly

"I hate you, dad" Aria said walking passed him and sitting down

"Aw…. Don't say that, Aria" he said smiling while he sat down beside her, "Don't you love me?"

"Not when you walk in without knocking," she said glaring at her father and felt something inside her getting agitated.

"What is this feeling?" Aria placed her hand on her knee and couldn't understand what this was? Was it anger? No, she didn't really have a reason to get mad at her father, he only walked in by accident.

"I'm sorry, Aria," Danny said and nudge her slightly, "Go easy on your old man? Will you, runt?"

Aria closed her eyes slightly and felt something take over, she opened her eyes slightly and stared at her father. She quickly got up and kicked him to the ground, Danny hit the ground and stared in shock!

"DON'T YOU EVER CALL ME RUNT!" Aria shouted in a deeper voice with her hands glowing in some strange black colour, which wasn't her typical green like her father's. "GOT IT!" Aria shouted gripping his shirt and glaring at him.

"ARIA!" Ember shouted and pulled her off, "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!"

Aria's eyes widen and back away, she stared at her hand which held her father's shirt. She lowered her hands and guiltily looked at the floor, she shook her head slightly.

"What the hell?! What's wrong with me?!" Aria thought while she watched her father standing.

"Aria?" Danny said softly slowly sitting up, "What's wrong? Why did you…?"

"I'm….. I'm so sorry, dad" Aria said lowering her hand and looking away, "I…. I don't know what came over me….?"

"Aria" Ember said walking towards her, "What was that? Why did you attack your father?"

"I… I don't know, mom," Aria said shaking her head some more with tears forming, "I'm so sorry"

"It's….. alright, Aria," Danny said hugging her while he glances at Ember, "It's in the past and we won't talk about it"

"Okay" she mumbled and hugged her father

"Hey! How about we train for a bit? What do you say?" Danny asked and messed her hair

"Sure," she said nodding her head slightly.

"Come on," he said while he went outside with her. Ember frown slightly as she stood in front of the kitchen's window which faces the yard, she moved her hands slightly and knew something wasn't right. She had never seen Aria get so…. Cruel and cold-hearted before, her daughter did get mad on occasions but never like this.

"Something wrong" Ember mumble and watched Aria and Danny talk, "Aria has never acted like this... Never…."

"Hm…. The scar is gone? And Aria acting weird? Maybe I'm over thinking this" Ember sighed softly and moved away from the kitchen.

Backyard

"Alright, Aria" Danny said creating a clone and backing away, "Give it all you've got"

"Sure" she and stared at her father's clone, she took a deep breath and opened her hand. She started to form a plasma ball when she suddenly felt this feeling from before awakening; Aria stops slightly as her eyes return darker for a few seconds before returning to normal.

"Kill" Aria glared at her father's clone and lowered her hand, she could feel a strange power inside of her growing, replacing her weak abilities.

"Get ready!" the clone said while Danny flew to a safe distance. Aria eye twitches slightly and opened her hands, she immediately forms a black ball and fired it. The clone quickly dodge it and saw the ball stop and suddenly headed towards him, the clone quickly backed away and moved in different patterns.

"What?" Danny mumbles watching the black ball following his clone regardless the direction it took.

"What is this? Aria doesn't have this kind of power?" Danny raised a brow while he watched, he saw his clone place a barrier and could deflect it. Aria quickly flew towards the clone when she suddenly disappeared, the clone looked around and tried to find her.

"Where did she go?" the clone mumbled turning around just in time to see Aria was standing behind him. The clone quickly threw a punch, his eyes widen slightly when Aria block his attack and stared at him with an emotionless glare.

"What's going on?!" Danny uncrossed his arms and stared attentively, he was shocked to see Aria was able to keep up with his clone….. his own abilities. He was wasn't too bad when it came to hand to hand combat, his skills were good enough to fend off Skulker but it had taken him years to master this. But Aria easily held her own, she was even overpowering his clone.

"This isn't right….." Danny whispered backing away slightly.

"UGHH!" the clone shouted as he stumbles to the ground after being struck in the chest, he looked up as Aria walked towards him with her emotionless glare. Aria lifted her hand and surrounded it with her black powers, she smiled and evil grin before she suddenly kicked him to his knees.

"Bye, bye" Aria coldly said smiling and punctured the clone's chest with her blade like a hand, she smiled and watched the clone disappear. Danny couldn't believe it! His own daughter merciless killed his clone without any hesitation, she smiled and lowered her hand.

"Something very wrong" Danny whispered, he put one of his hands behind his back and started to form a knockout spell just in case, as he approached her. "Hm…. Very good, Aria," Danny said while he cautiously approached her.

"It's a shame it was a clone, daddy" Aria said tilting her head to the side slightly, "Right, daddy?"

"This isn't good" Danny glared slightly and back away, he didn't like this feeling he was receiving from her. "I have no choice….." Danny quickly grabs Aria's hand and moved it away, freeing her chest for his attack. He quickly placed the small green orb into his daughter's chest, he quickly caught her and stared at her unconscious state.

"Something very, very, wrong," Danny said while he gently placed her on the ground, "This isn't like Aria to act like this….. or have these abilities"

"I must see Clockwork" Danny looked back at the house before looking back at his daughter, he opened his hand and placed it on her forehead.

"I shouldn't do this… but I don't want to take the risk of being attacked by those strange powers" Danny said softly while his hand glowed slightly, he nodded and removed his hand before he stood up. "This should disable her powers for two hours, hopefully it's going to be enough" he said staring at her.
