Chapter 3: Kai's decision

"So, today I will tell you the story of how you and your siblings were named!"

Kai looked up from etching the ring she was working on, "Um, I didn't ask Aunt Ray."

"It's Reaper and I don't care!" the witch replied as she jumped on a table.

Troy sat next to her goddaughter and sighed, "Just let it happen."

"You were the easy one to name, Kai. You see, every time one of you were born, expect for Light, your father picked a name and your mother picked a name. Your mother picked Claire and your father picked Kai, though I think they threw around names like Chloe and Riley," The woman rambled, "but in the end they stuck with Kai and Claire and flipped a coin."

"Wait, wait, my parents flipped a coin to decide on my name?" the thirteen year old asked unconvinced.

"Yes, they did. They did that with all but Light," Reaper commented, "Malak was named after your grandmothers, Malak Lightchaser and Samantha Fenton. They flipped a coin to decide whether to call her Malak or Sammy. I think Sam was relieved she didn't end up as Sammy. Levi and Kara really aren't the best at naming. I mean they named Jude and Rayna after me and Troy."

"They are?" Kai looked confused.

Troy answered this time sounding a little proud, "Yep, Kara came up with the names William and Rayna based on our names Willow and Ray. Something about always having a pair of trouble makers like us around."

"They are that," Kai muttered as she felt a pang in her chest thinking about Jude and Rayna.

"But yeah Levi, I think, wanted to name Jude, Jerry or something but Kara said no so Jude was his pick instead," Reaper explained as she shut the door to the ring shop.

"So, I'm guessing Light was named after mom right, Lightchaser?" Kai guessed giving up altogether on finishing the ring she was working on for Troy and Reaper.

Reaper and Troy shared a look as the red headed witch explained, "Well, I know her middle name Marie was picked by your dad. Levi said it was after the person that ended up making sure Levi and Kara got together. But as for her first name, yeah. Light is for Lightchaser. We picked it."

"Huh?" Kai asked confused as Troy picked up where Reaper left off, "We named Light after your mom. Light is what we called Kara growing up because Hadassah is what she went by before Kara and we all hated it. Your mom let us name for sister after we rescued Light after she was born."

"Light was kidnapped as a baby?!" The youngest Phantom exploded surprised at this knowledge.

"An hour after she was born," Reaper added quietly.

"She was the first grandchild of Danny Phantom, the heir to the Lightchaser line, and the first Witch-Phantom," Troy added, "a lot of people wanted her. One got her. We saved her. We took care of it. And in return we got to name Light. We named her after our best friend. Her mom."

Kai sat silently listening to the story a pang spread through her chest as she began thinking of her mother and in turn her family. She missed her family, she had been avoiding them in Ariel since Light left because of the tension she felt.

Reaper touched her goddaughters shoulder, "Kai, we love Light. But she's a little shit for up and leaving your family. So listen, stop hiding and get your ass up and head home so you can kick your sisters ass for me when she gets back.

"Worst advice ever."

"You're going to do it though right?"

"Oh, hell yeah."

"Why did I let this happen?" Troy questioned, "Why?
