Chapter 1: Travelling, part 2 (Arrival)
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Danny Phantom, just the Fanfic
"I'm back guys," came Danny's voice and a few seconds later he came into view from behind the trees, dragging a full grown stag by one of it's antlers behind him with hardly any effort. Sam winced at seeing the beautiful animal limp and lifeless, but she knew that Tucker would never stop complaining if he didn't get any meat.
Danny continued to walk until he reached the center of camp, then he set the deer down right next to the fire pit.
Tucker eyed the dead animal eagerly, but when Danny prepared to skin the animal, Sam left with her face a greenish tinge, trying her best not to get sick.
It had been one week since the trio had left Amity Park, and so far, there had been no sign of the Guys in White.
The trio had devoloped a routine or schedule: Everyday, the two humans would wake up, pack up the sleeping bags that Danny had bought them, and eat breakfast. Instead of sleeping on the ground in a sleeping bag with the humans, Danny seemed to prefer sleeping perched in a nearby tree. After eating their breakfast, the trio would walk for the rest of the day, eating food from Danny's satchel whenever they were hungry (which in Tucker's case, all the time, since he was ALWAYS hungry). As they walked, Sam would often pester Danny about his past, but so far, he was able to avoid all her questions with vague answers that made no sense. Danny's mysteriousness frustrated Sam, but no matter how hard she persisted, Danny was determined to keep his past a secret. Once the sun began to set, they would stop walking and set up camp, Tucker was in charge of starting the fire, Sam was in charge of gathering edible plants (Danny had taught her all about edible forest plants and where to find them), and Danny was in charge of hunting for meat. Also, Danny was in charge of getting other supplies, he would fly to a nearby town, use his disguise, and buy stuff they would need, he even bought Tucker a cheap PDA to stop him from whining. At night, Danny would continue to tell his two human friends Angel Legends, one of Sam's favorites was Roi and Lijio, the tale of two star crossed (Angel) lovers from different clans, in the story, Roi and Lijio had eventually convinced the two clans to join together, end their feud, and become one main tribe. The story sorta reminded Sam of 'Romeo and Juliet'.
On the eighth day since they started their journey, Sam noticed two things: that the forest was begining to thin and Danny was becoming more nervous with every step they took. Sam had asked him if the lack of trees was bothering him, but he had replied by saying: "It's not that... I'm justa little nervous about reaching our destination..." that had been all Sam had been able to get out of Danny, he had remained silent for the rest of the walk.
On the ninth day, as they were walking, Danny had suddenly stopped in his tracks and told his human companions to stop as well.
"...Guys, when we reach the place I've been leading you to... you're going to have to learn a few... manners," Danny had told them after a few seconds of silence.
When Sam had asked Danny WHY they were supposed to learn some so called 'manners', Danny had just told her to trust him, and that everything would become clear in time.
"DON'T make eyecontact with ANYONE, understand? Don't say anything rude and... you know what? Try not to talk at all, period. ALWAYS stay close to me, okay?" said Danny urgently.
"...WHY do we have to do all that? None of this makes any sense! I thought that where we're going, there are NO people!" yelled Sam, she was SICK of not having a clue of what was going on! She had left her home, was following an Angel to some random place that was 'safe' from the 'GiW', and now there were humans in this 'safe place'?
"Just TRUST me, okay?" said Danny, and without waiting for an answer, he began to walk again, leaving the dumbfounded humans behind.
Eventually, the Sam and Tucker composed themselves and caught up to the silent young male Angel.
After about five minutes, the forest almost completely vanished, and in front of them, was a humoungous grass filled valley. It. Was. HUGE. There were many ledges, caves, and caverns in the sides of the valley, and at the bottom, was a small sparkling brook of fresh water. Danny paused at the top of the valley with his eyes scanning it, he let out a sigh and turned to face his human friends.
"Here we are," he said simply.
Sam was confused... this was IT? They had travelled all this way... for this? Sam had been expecting something a little... different.
"B-but..." began Tucker, but before he could finish, Danny suddenly grabbed him and Sam by their hands, and dragged them through an invisible barrier and into the valley...
The first thing Sam noticed was the winged people flying and walking around the valley, when Sam had first seen the valley, it had appeared to be diserted, but now Sam could see that this place had at LEAST fifty angels living here. NOW Sam understood why Danny had acted like there might be people living here... but instead of humans like Sam had assumed, there were angels. Every single Angel seemed to be unique, their feathered wings were each a different shade and the Angels all wore similar clothing that Danny was wearing, (fine cloth, skin tight, boots, and a few we're wearing circular bracelets on their hands).
I guess Danny isn't one of the last angels after all... thought Sam to herself as she watched a beautiful green winged female angel walk to the creek at the bottom of the valley and take a sip from the crystal clear liquid.
The winged creatures hadn't seemed to have noticed the trio yet, but Danny was frozen in place, his eyes darted around and his wings were tense and ready to fly. Sam was confused at Danny's behavior... these were members of his kind, so why did he seem so nervous to be here?
After what seemed like an eternity in breathless wonder at the small, thriving civilization of winged creatures, the silence was finally broken by Tucker who voiced Sam's thoughts almost exactly.
"...Wow..." breathed Tucker, and that was his worst mistake.
At least five of the angels had heard Tucker's remark and they all turned to look in his direction. The angel's faces were shocked and confused when they saw the two humans standing there, but when their gaze travelled to the still form of Danny behind the humans, their faces immediately turned to fear, amazement, and for some angels, anger.
"It's him!" yelled the five angels that had heard Tucker in unison, and immediately, the rest of the Angels turned to look. Gasps ran out throughout the valley as the winged beings saw Danny standing there, still and unmoving. None of the angels even seemed to care as much about the two humans standing beside him, almost their full attention was focused on Danny.
After a while, a few of the more buffed Angels walked forward and each of them pointed a spear at Danny's chest, the spearheads glowed with blue energy but Sam noticed that the Angel's hands shook as they held the spears, they were obviously scared of Danny.
Sam's mouth hung open at the sight of Danny being threatened by members of his own kind, what had caused these Angels to become so hostile and fearful towards him?
Author's Note:
Hmm... I bet you're all wondering why the other Angels don't seem to like Danny... and I bet you're also curious about Danny's past... well... I guess you're just gonna have to read and find out! *laughs knowingly*.
I've got almost the entire story planned out in my head, all I have to do is write it down and put it into words.
This chapter wasn't very well written, but I'm having fun writing with my new 'Third Person Sam Thingy'.
