Oh dear, what is going to happen, will they get free? Who knows..., and I don't own DP, if I did then it would still be running!
Line break
Four hours later Maddie was still trying to smooth Phantom's hair, specks of blood coated it like confetti. Suddenly an announcement called for lights out.
The lights shut off leaving both Phantom's faintly glowing skin. After about five minutes she heard a groan. She listened carefully and determined the others were asleep.
Gently she reached over and shook Phantom's shoulder "Phantom" she whispered. Phantom groaned again and his dull green eyes slowly opened.
He slowly turned to Maddie and flinched "Mom" he whispered. Maddie rolled her eyes "No it's Maddie Fenton, you are just a little confused Phantom" she said quietly.
Phantom sat up straight and looked at himself in a panic "Where are we" he asked quietly. Maddie sighed "Locked up in a ghost jail" she simply yet quietly.
Phantom's dull eyes widened "Why are we being quiet" he asked cautiously. Maddie sighed "We don't want to wake everyone" she said.
Phantom's eyes widened "Who else is here" he asked nervously.
Maddie sighed "My husband and daughter, the Foley's, the Manson's, the Grey's, Lancer, Masters, and in your cell there is a girl who says her name is Danielle Phantom" she said.
Startled Phantom whipped around and instantly spotted the young sleeping girl "Danni" he whispered. He lowered his head.
Suddenly he grabbed his side in pain "Are you okay" Maddie asked. Phantom gritted his teeth "Lets just say it feels like I got hit by the behemoth" he said roughly.
Maddie raised an eyebrow "A what" she asked. Phantom looked up with pain plainly showing in his eyes. Maddie flinched "The behemoth is a giant monster that guards certain areas in the ghost zone" he said.
Maddie winced "That bad" she asked.
Phantom tilted his head to the side "Lets just say I think Walker let the guards use me as target practice by how it feels" he said wearily.
Maddie rolled her eyes "Why does that not surprise me" she muttered.
Phantom smiled gently "Because you have hunted ghosts for years and have a small comprehension on how we work" he said innocently.
Maddie chuckled softly and ruffled his hair "Always a joker" she said. Phantom grinned, though pain was still evident in his motions.
Maddie carefully touched his shoulder "How did you get to be so brave" she asked. Phantom looked at her cautiously "What do you mean" he asked.
Maddie rolled her eyes "I mean the fact that you can be in more pain or bear more responsibility than adults yet not be bothered" she said.
Phantom frowned "In all honesty I'm complaining on the inside but I know that if I let it bother me then I can't help those I care about" he said quietly.
Maddie smiled "You had better get some sleep" she said. Phantom winced "If I sleep then the same thing could happen" he said fearfully.
Maddie cocked her head "What do you mean" she asked.
Phantom shook in fear "They could torture me again, Walker really wants to get back at me so I know he'd do it" he said.
Maddie rubbed the scared boys back "It's okay, I'm sure whatever you did couldn't have been that bad, one ghost mentioned a mass break out but I'm sure that's an over exaggeration" she said.
Phantom shook "Lets just say that I freed every single prisoner he has locked up and then flaunted his superiority in his face, not to mention defeating him when he over shadowed the mayor and rescued a class full of kids he had kidnapped" he said.
Maddie smiled "And kept me and my husband from getting a divorce" she said gently. Phantom whipped around towards her "How did you…" Maddie put a finger to his lips.
Maddie smiled "The guards…said some, thing's" she said hesitantly. Phantom studied her closely "What kind of things" he asked.
Maddie sighed "They mentioned the break out and the gift, along with you being half human" she said quietly.
Phantom turned away "Get some sleep, we'll need it" he said tensely. Nervously Maddie nodded before laying down.
Slowly Phantom relaxed as well and laid by the bars.
