I'M BACK FROM THE DEAD!
I'm so, so sorry about not updating this story! I've been juggling other stories, creating new ones and right now doing a collab with the awesome AstroGravityPhan, I've hardly had any time to write a new chapter of A Phantom On The Edge. But, I will finish this story! I intend to finish it, and I will, I swear.
So, here's the next chapter!
Onto the story!
Gothi Knows…
Inside the hut, Dani looked nervously at Gothi as she asked, "Uh, not to be rude or anything, but why did you want me to follow you in here? If it's about Equinox, then-"
"You really need to work harder on keeping that secret of yours a secret, if you're going to be staying with us. Us Vikings can be a bit superstitious, especially when it comes to the supernatural," Gothi suddenly said, interrupting Dani.
Dani blinked, her mouth agape.
"You can speak?" she asked.
Gothi chuckled.
"Just because I rarely speak and communicate through symbols doesn't mean that I'm mute, dear. But yes, I can speak."
Hearing that, Dani looked down sheepishly, rubbing her arm.
"Er, right, sorry. I just thought you were-" Dani apologised, before she cut herself off, her eyes widening when she remembered what Gothi had said earlier, about working harder to keep her secret a secret. As if… she knew?
"Err, what secret do you mean, Gothi? I don't have a secret. Especially a secret that concerns why Equinox chose me. Why would you think that I have a secret?" Dani rambled nervously, smiling weakly.
Gothi looked at her in that unnerving way of hers and said, "You may be able to fool everyone else, Danielle, but you can't fool me. I know that Equinox can only choose someone who is both living and dead, which brings to question as to why it would choose someone who is seemingly fully alive. Until I looked into those eyes of yours, that is. Eyes that appear to both alive and dead."
Dani gulped as Gothi continued to stare at her, shuffling towards the raven-haired halfa girl and causing her to step back.
"I understand, you don't want anyone else to know, and honestly, I can't blame you. But, if you do intend to tell someone, you can tell Hiccup. He can be trusted to keep a secret, considering he kept Toothless a secret from all of us until he saved him in the arena ages ago. And after that, you can work on telling the others. But it will be best you tell them than they find out. Less chance of them trying to fully kill you if you told them before they find out. But until then, you can trust me to keep your secret a secret. After all, almost nobody can read the symbols I draw anyway, not that I would reveal it in the symbols though."
Dani, who looked a bit relieved, asked nervously, "And what secret do you think that I'm hiding, Gothi?"
At hearing the question, Gothi smiled knowingly.
"I may not know how or why it happened, and I don't want to know, but I do know this. The secret you're hiding is the reason why Equinox chose you, Dani Fenton… or should I say, Dani Phantom?"
Dani's eyes widened as her entire body went numb with shock, and all that she could think of was, Oh crud.
Yes, Gothi knows that Dani's half-ghost and that she's also not from the HTTYD world. Then again, that medicine woman is like Clockwork; it's like she knows everything. I swear she knew that Hiccup had befriended a dragon before Toothless saved Hiccup in the arena in the first How To Train Your Dragon film.
Anyway, I'm so, so sorry about the wait! But, I promise that the next chapter will come out soon after this. I swear!
I hope that I didn't make either Gothi or Dani OOC, and if I did, I'm so, so sorry! I try to keep them in-character as much as possible!
Please read and review!
