Danny Phantom – Spectre Rejecters

Part 16

Vlad hid invisibly at the back of the church, and watched the love of his life walk down the isle. She looked gorgeous. Her white wedding dress trailed behind her, her face covered by a snow white veil. Brown hair curled round her shoulders, and she held a bouquet of beautiful flowers in her hand. Wedding music echoed throughout the building, all was peaceful until a loud explosion was heard from outside the church. He doors opened and in walked Jack; his suit had a layer of ecto-plasm on it. He'd been experimenting on his wedding day. He couldn't even last out his own wedding day without it involving ghost hunting. Pathetic. Oh how Vlad would give all he had and more for it to be him walking down the isle about to wed the woman of his dreams. A thin blonde woman dressed in to say the least, a rather revealing outfit. Vlad could see her scowling, she must not be happy about this marriage either… But that didn't matter, nothing did. He sat lonely at the back as the ceremony took place, not knowing exactly why he had even stayed there. The final words were spoken. 'You may now kiss the bride…' those words repeated in his head for a second, until the happy couples lips came in contact. His life was over. He felt a sinking feeling in his heart, and fled the church. Outside he leaned against a tree, and pulled out a packet of cigarettes. People began pouring out of the church and gathered around an outdoor buffet and a stage. White and pink flowers adorned everything, the sky was a beautiful blue and the band upon the stage played heavenly music and sang like angels.

He then saw what he thought was the last person to leave the church, Maddie. His eyes followed the beauty who headed for the buffet and her family members.

"I only wish Vladdie was here…" She sighed. For a moment, he considered approaching her. He could make any excuse… For example, being late because of bad traffic… Nah; it was hopeless, she was married. It was too late; she had already tied the knot. He miserably walked over to the church, invisible of course. He trudged to the front of the front and a single tear fell down his cheek. "I hate you god." He muttered, before he was distracted by something. It sounded like a young woman giggling. It appeared to be coming from beneath a table which was covered by a white sheet. He bent down and phased through the cloth, and saw a sight that would haunt him forever.

Jack had been disloyal. He had been with another woman, Vlad recognised her – it was the scowling blonde he had seen before… Not only had he passionately kissed someone besides his bride on his wedding day, he had done it in a church. How low can one get.

Anger filled Vlad. His eyes became red, darker than ever before. He smashed the table, and began trashing around the church. Jack and the blonde ran out just in time, seconds later the church would have collapsed on top of them. In the heart broken man's heart, it would have been better if Jack had been crushed alive.

His thoughts were interrupted once again; the ambulance had arrived. Loud sirens soon stopped, as two paramedics knocked on the door. Maddie let them in, and they began tending to Jack and Sam.

"What happened here?" One of them asked,

"And is that kid alright?" said the other, staring at the boy who lay on the couch.

"What the…" Jazz stood in the doorway, staring at Sam, Danny, and ultimately her father who seemed to be the worse off.

Jack was later taken to hospital, with but the paramedics to keep him company.

Maddie and Jazz sat by Sam, making her as comfortable as possible. Being comfortable was difficult as she had just been stabbed in the back. Luckily, it hadn't entered any organs, so was repairable with stitches which, after Sam refused to go to hospital, were what she had to settle for. Vlad sat by Danny, keeping a constant eye on the boy. He was dreaming again, and his sleep didn't seem at all peaceful…
