Chapter 2: Desiree Gets Back On Her Feet
As Desiree stumbled away from the chaos at the human ghost hunter gathering, she was surprised to see the streets were completely empty. While she was grateful that she wouldn't have to worry about being seen, the silence was oddly disturbing. Catching her breath by a bench, Desiree tried to summon her ecto energy by concentrating on her hands again, to try and reignite them like she did before. But failed. Couldn't even light a spark.
"Damn that whelp! The next time I see him, I don't care how, but I will make him suffer!" she growled. Suddenly, the shriek of sirens passed by her. Taking a peek, she noticed several white and black metal carriages with bright red and blue flashy things on top heading in the direction of human ghost hunter gathering.
'They must be here for wish constructs.' Desiree reasoned. 'What are they going to do when they find it empty with just armed humans more insane than the standard mortal?'
Not wanting to find out Desiree got up from the bench to escape but the second she did she fell back down on her knees from the sudden exhaustion. Picking herself up she groaned. "Ugh, that's not going to work."
Desperate Desiree looked around for something- anything that could help her move. She found it when she spotted an abandoned yellow and black striped metal carriage that had crashed into some small red metal construct that was spewing water, she crawled her way towards it using what strength she had, trying not to draw too much attention to herself. When she got to the metal carriage she grabbed the metal handle to the door, but just her luck the second she did the metal door broke right off and fell on her head. "GAHHH! Ughhh, I hate this realm."
Still rubbing the site of where the door landed on her head Desiree crawled into the driver's side of the carriage and looked at the metal and plastic controls.
"Alright. Think, Desiree. You must have conjured up a dozen of these metal carriages for the humans of this settlement, many of which were more luxurious than this. How difficult can it be to control one?"
Looking at the instruments, she shifted the car into drive. Next she put her foot down on the left peddle and noticing that it did nothing.
"Strange. Why would they put in a pedal that did nothing?" she asked aloud. Seeing another pedal, she felt that this one would make the vehicle move forward.
Satisfied with her conclusion, Desiree confidently slammed her foot on the gas pedal. Immediately, the car shot off down the street like a bat ghost outta the ghost zone. She tried to maintain control of the car using the plastic circle but she kept pin balling from one parked car to another.
"No! I'm going too fast. Krishna, protect me!" Desiree prayed as the car sped towards her destination.
Much to her relief, the building she was trying to travel to loomed ahead. Unfortunately, she still did not know how to slow down the speeding vehicle.
"Come on! I'm the one that grants bad luck, not the one that receives it!" she shrieked. Looking ahead, she saw a glass storefront getting closer and closer.
Unfortunately, at the rate the car was moving, she knew she was about to crash into the building. Shielding herself as best she could, Desiree felt the car hit and pop off the curb before it began to spiral in the air. Time seemed to slow for Desiree as she saw various objects, like coins, random bits of paper, and various wrappers, float by her face as the world turned upside down. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, she heard the shattering of glass before the vehicle landed on its roof inside a pink colored store. Her head made contact with the roof as it slammed on the ground, and then her head slammed into the 'driving circle' giving her a splitting headache as a shard of glass made a gash on her right temple. Desiree had just enough time to look up from the wheel to see the car run head first into the plaster wall. Desiree tried to brace herself as she knew her head would collide again with wheel and dash only harder. But thankfully a large bag of air erupted from the center of the driving circle and protected her head from the impact.

Opening her eyes from the blackness Desiree sat up from laying down on the bag of air in the car seat and had a splitting headache and felt as though her body just died again. She tried to look around but only saw everything blurry and twice of everything, even her left hand. Desiree then tried to get out of the car but the second she turned she fell flat on her face on the ground. Her body screaming in pain Desiree groaned as she pushed herself onto her back. "I really, really hate this realm!"
Desiree turned her head to the sound that was coming from the mall side entrance of the store. Flipping herself onto her back again Desiree started crawling her way to the glass doors, she observed the Ghost Child, one of her oldest enemies: Danny Phantom, fighting Skulker. Supposedly the ghost zones greatest hunter.
"Stand still, whelp. I will eviscerate you and mount your head on my wall! Its only a matter of time." Skulker boasted firing off several rockets at Danny.
"This day just keeps getting better and better." Desiree coughed. "First I lose all my powers, then I crash into some merchant's plaza where I'm sure I died again. Now it turns out that the cursed hunter is fighting the Phantom not even twenty feet away from me. And now I'm so weak, all I can do is pray to Kali that the ghost boy can't find me."
"The day I let you eviscerate me is the day you get laid outside of that suit." Danny bantered, dodging the rockets and firing off several ecto-rays back at the hunter.
"Your tongue I can live without!" Skulker replied as he charged at Danny.
"Ole!" Danny mocked as he dodged the sloppy attack. "Want to try that again, toro?"
Skulker growled before firing off all his weapons. "Dodge this!" As all the rounds made impact and detonated, Skulker smirked in satisfaction. "Puny whelp." he scoffed before turning around.
"Did you miss me?" Danny chucked as Skulker faced him.
"But how?" the hunter replied incredulously.
"Your a bad shot. Duh!" Danny smirked before pulling out the Fenton Thermos. The spiral sky blue vortex capturing the hunter and pulling him into the small chrome cylinder. Looking around the empty mall, he noticed there was a lot property damage and that there were thankfully no civilians injured during the fight. Satisfied with his work, and not wanting to get stuck with the blame and the bill, Danny flew out of the mall and back home.
"Ugghhhhhh, thank you Kali." Desiree said coming back to her current situation, feeling her body get all stiff. "Nagh... how do I stop this?" She asked as she looked around and found that the mall was completely empty now.
Feeling her eyes getting heavy Desiree tried in vain to grab on to something to pull herself up but found nothing. "I am not dying again! Not like this. No way in all of the ghost zone did a nobody like that... helper kill me. No! I'm getting out of this. I'll get my powers back. And that whelp will become. My. Bitch!"
With her last bit of strength Desiree stood up and leaned against the wall and focused her eyes to look around. But she saw nothing she could use. Though she did smell something. Something... good. Desiree leaned against the wall as she stumbled toward the source of the smell. She kept following it until she tripped and fell into a metal table, covering herself in yellow and red goop along with all kinds of meat and vegetables.
"Clearly, this realm has only suffering and humiliation to offer." she sighed before looking down at herself. One of the first things that caught her eye was beef slice sitting on her breasts.
"Disgusting. Though, I don't believe they ate that Jesus fellow after they crucified him." she said, flicking off the meat patty and standing up and started walking again. When it seemed like all was lost, she came across an uneaten meal on one of the food court tables. Picking it up, she took a cautionary bite.
"Chicken." she said with a satisfied smile. "Not quite sure why it is breaded but it does taste amazing. And this red goop is none to bad either."
After consuming the meal and downing the orange bubbly beverage beside it, she looked across the large room and saw her reflection. Intrigued by what she sees she walks over to it with not trouble. Looking at herself for the first time, she saw that her light violet bedlah was torn to shreds, barely leaving any cloth that cover her ample breast and her womanhood, and legs. Being that it was see through it wasn't like the bedlah covered much anyway but still.
But beyond her clothes Desiree noticed that her hair, her skin, her eyes, even her height! Everything was the same, the same as she was when ghostly. Though now her hair was largely unkempt. But now, her skin. It wasn't the same ghostly neon green. No it was a light brown of all shades. Above all that she noticed that she was no longer a giant. If anything she was the average size of a mortal woman.
The reminder of her powerless form the former ghost genie with anger and rage. So much that she clenched her hands together, raised them into the air and groaned in hate igniting a few green sparks from her fingertips. ASTONISHED she looked at her hands and found her fingers covered in soot.
Filled with joy Desiree laughed. "YES! This is not over helper! You hear me? This. Is. Not. Over!" She announced but the moment she did her head felt light and the ghost of desire fall over to her side, forcing her to latch onto the nearby table to stedy herself. Grabbing her head Desiree tried to balance herself but then she heard a large angry sound from her stomach. "Ughhh, but first things first."
Desiree grabbed another leftover chicken sandwich and looked back at her reflection for a moment to see her tattered bedlah and how it was just barely hanging onto her body.
"This is going to have to go. But where can I find a replacement?" Desiree asked before she looked back at the store she crashed into. See saw the sign. 'Victoria's Secret'.
Walking inside a pink colored store she looked at her infernal ride. One of the wheels had bounced away from the car and had rolled away to the other side of the store while black smoke billowed from a compartment on the front metal carriage. "Well I'm not going to ride that again."
Looking beyond the carriage, Desiree could see undergarments varying from modest to leaving nothing to the imagination. "This must be an 'intimate garment' shop."
Walking towards the nearest rack Desiree looked for a replacement for her ruined bedlah. After tossing away several undergarments, Desiree grabbed as much of what she liked as she could.
"I don't quite know what secret this Victoria is keeping but she has great taste in clothes." Desiree said, striking several sultry and seductive poses before she began her search for more. By the time she exited the store, she had on a black mini skirt that barely reached her mid thigh, black heels, and a white button up blouse that barely contained her generously sized breasts. Returning to the food court she noticed a wishing well conveniently placed in the center. A mischievous grin crossed her face.
"This will be the perfect place to grant wishes. Hopefully, the more I grant, the faster my powers will return." Desiree said.
Taking a seat on a bench beside the well just as people began to return, she muttered, "Be careful what you wish for, mortals. You just might get it."
