Chapter 31
Just to let you all know I really didn't like writing this chapter. It really hurt my heart to break one of the main characters hearts. It is not fun people really not fun. I do not own Danny phantom or its characters except Xemit.
Ember had just flung Spectra out of the ring just in time to see Danny walk off. She flew at lightning speed in front of him. He jumped and landed on his back. "sorry partner." She said helping him up. She looked at him to see he wasn't smiling. "Danny whats wrong?" she asked concerned. He looked at her with hurt eyes. "Ember were friends right?" he asked. Ember looked at him grinning. "of course." She replied. He was still frowning. "what if I told you I know where you can find the fentons son?" he asked. Ember looked at him shocked. "why would I wanna know?" she asked putting her hands on her hips. Danny sighed. "because you might hate me if I told you." He replied.
Ember grabbed his shoulders and shook him around. "Danny I wouldn't hate you even if you paid me. Look clockwork assigned us partners and we stick together no matter what." She said half blushing. Danny smiled but only for a short time. "look something my dad told me is that partners don't keep secrets this deep from eachother." He said still looking down. Ember brought his eyes up to hers. "you can tell me anything Danny." She said smiling sweetly. Danny turned away. "no you wont youll hate me for this." He said getting up. Ember looked at him in confusion. Dannys heart was pumping like mad. His head sweated worse than usual. "have I ever told you about my birth parents?" he asked not even looking at his partner. Ember shook her head. "no ive only met your adoptive family." She said nervously. "whats wrong with him?" she asked herself.
Danny turned to face Ember. "and theres a reason for it." He replied almost on the verge of tears. "because my family…" he choked. "was the fentons." Embers heart stopped. She stopped breathing. "im their son. There was an accident that killed them. Maddie jack and jazz fenton." He looked at the ground for what seemed like forever. He then looked at Ember again. "my ghost powers were an accident just like my dads." He explained everything to Ember. Only problem was her head was spinning. She paid attention. But was in pure shock. "that's why I never told you." He said tears now running down his face. "I didn't want to hurt you like my parents did."
Ember stood there gazing into space for a fraction for a second before getting up. She looked at Danny for a while before she turned and started to walk away from him. "Ember?" she stopped. "why didn't you tell me?" she asked not even looking at him. When Danny didn't answer at the speed of light he felt himself smashed against the wall held by her guitar. "ANSWER ME MASTERS. WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING?!" she shrieked. Danny looked down saddened. "Because….i really like you." He whispered. Embers face softend but then turned back to rage. She let him go but grabbed him by the throat. "stay away from me from now on Danny don't talk to me don't even say my name." she dropped him and flew off tears streaming down her face.
Clockwork along with Pandora and the Fright knight watched from his observatory in his office. Pandora wiped tears from her eyes and fright knight watched as Danny got up sulkingly. "the poor child." She said quietly. Clockwork nodded in agreement. Fright knight then spoke up. "should I go talk to the boy?" he asked. clockwork didn't even hesitate. "no this is Daniels battle therefor he must fight it on his own." He replied. He then floated to the screen behind him as he saw Ember sitting on a floating rock now sobbing. "I feel most sorry for miss mcclain." The fright knight responded. Clockwork again nodded in agreement. "yes she finds out the boy she has feelings for is the offspring of her parents killers." He said sadly. He then looked at the teachers. "go on and tell everyone that classes are dismissed for the day." With that the two teachers left not saying a word. As soon as the two coaches were gone he turned to another screen. Inside pariahs keep johnny vortex and shadow were preparing for something. Clockwork smirked. "they don't even know theyre being watched." He replied.
Meanwhile in pariahs keep shadow had just told the gang everything he had heard.(through johnnys translation.) "so Danny is heart broken and right for the picking." Desiree said smugly. Shadow nodded causing her to grin even more. "good as soon as mcclain is out of the way Danny will have no other choice but to come back to me." She said rubbing her hands together. Johnny smirked. He could just imagine her quoting:yes yes master it will be done." He snickered. Luckily Desiree was occupied with grabbing a small piece of paper. "okay you guys get over here." She ordered as the other 3 surrounded the table.
"johnny when I give the signal youll send your shadow here." She said pointing to the black X on the paper. She then turned to Vortex. "your job will be to stall the teachers. Make sure they don't come in until I say." She then stood up and smiled evily. "that's when I come out saying that Ember died saving me from a falling pillar." She said laughing. The guys turned towards her. "and how does this help us?" Vortex asked. she smiled. "you see guys when a genie has a love partner they become the slave to that genie. She turned towards johnny. "you would get your girlfriend back." She then turned to Vortex. "and you can scrap her present boyfriend." She said causing both boys and shadow to smile.
