Phantom lowered his head "if I didn't protect this town who would" he asked her.
What is that supposed to mean?
there is me, Jack, and the red huntress right?
Maddie frowned "what about me, Jack, and the red huntress" she asked.
Phantom snorted "no offence but the only way Jack can defend any one from a ghost is if his family is in danger" he said.
Maddie nodded "true" she acknowledged.
Phantom looked out the bars "and the red huntress isn't helpful, she just shows up and attacks me, the only ghost not causing chaos" he said.
Maddie felt a little queasy at that "yet again your right" she admitted.
Then Phantom looked into her eyes "and you have your family to take care of, and trust me I know from experience that it is difficult to lead a normal life and protect this town" he said.
Maddie lowered her head again.
Wow I actually feel bad for him, he makes it seem so easy when it's really not.
But of course, me and Jack are never at the fights and the red huntress only shoots him.
You know, I'm surprised he hasn't cracked under the strain.
Suddenly Phantom made a sharp movement as he looked away from Maddie "why did you scream" he asked.
Maddie stared at him in shock "what" she asked.
Phantom turned to her "earlier, why did you scream" he asked again.
Maddie thought for a second then giggled.
Phantom cocked his head "I needed some way to wake you up and when I tried to wake you it didn't work, then I noticed that you kept responding whenever people screamed and I figured f I screamed you would wake up" she said.
Phantom laughed.
You know what, he's actually kind of fun to be around.
It's almost like being with Danny.
Then Maddie took a good look at Phantom and gasped.
In fact, he even looks like Danny!
Phantom looked at her carefully "are you okay" he asked.
Maddie ignored him.
They look almost the same, if you just changed Phantoms hair black and his eyes blue then he could be Danny! Why in the world does this ghost look like my son.
Maddie was startled out of her thoughts by Phantom waving his hand in front of her face "are you alright, you kinda spaced on me" he asked.
Maddie shook her head "why do you look like my son" she asked.
Phantoms slipped and fell at that "WHAT" he yelped.
Maddie was confused.
How did I get THAT reaction!
Phantom nervously rubbed the back of his neck.
Hey that's what Danny does if he's nervous!
She raised an eyebrow "well, I, um, can't say" he stammered.
Maddie sighed "why not" she asked.
Phantom looked away "it's a secret" he muttered.
Maddie crossed her arms "a secret" she asked skeptically.
Phantom looked outside and Maddie jumped as a look of realization dawned on his face.
Oh no, I don't think I like that look.
Phantom looked at her smiling "I know how we can escape" he said.
This time it was Maddie turn to fall.
How could he manage that!
Maddie sat back up "how" she asked.
Phantom grabbed her hand and she yelped as she felt a tingling feeling as Phantom lifted her in the air. Suddenly she felt them flying through the roof.
He must have turned us intangible, I hope he realizes that we are over thirty stories and surrounded by a ghost shield!
Maddie looked at the ghost who was taking deep nervous breaths.
He turned to Maddie and she saw pleading in his eyes "please don't hate me and don't stop me, when I yell jump you jump" he said.
Maddie was furious.
Is he crazy, I'll fall to my death!
She stood up carefully "are you crazy! We are more than thirty stories above the ground! I will be killed if I jump" she yelled.
Phantom looked over the edge and gulped "only if I tell you to jump, I'll jump first and catch you when I'm out of the ghost shield" he said.
Maddie raised an eyebrow "um one problem, ghost shield, you're a ghost" she told him.
Phantom smiled "you see, that's where you're wrong, all this time you've been saying how you'll catch that ghost and how he can never get through a ghost shield but…" he stopped.
Maddie stared at him as he closed his eyes "I'm only half ghost" he whispered.
Maddie crossed her arms.
Who does this ghost think he is, how can he only be half ghost.
And I still want him to answer my question on how he looks like Danny!
She uncrossed her arms "prove it" she said.
Phantom looked slightly taken back "alright but please don't try to stop me no matter what, I know what I'm doing" he told her.
Sheesh, he acts like I care, but he is just a ghost.
Right?
Suddenly Maddie jumped as two rings of energy washed over his body and hi hazmat suit was replaced by jeans and a white t-shirt.
His boots became sneakers and his snowy hair became raven black.
But the thing that scared Maddie most was that his haunting blue eyes were now the familiar baby blue eyes of her Danny.
Maddie put a hand to her mouth as she gasped.
My son is a ghost.
My son is half GHOST!
Danny looked at her "remember, when I tell you to jump" he said.
Maddie felt confused but remembered what as Danny took a breath "Danny no" she shouted.
But she was to slow to grab him before he jumped over the edge.
Maddie fell to her knees crying.
No Danny's dead.
There is no way he could have survived that fall!
