Hi, everyone. Me again and sorry for the wait. Things been busy at school. Danny still doesn't belong to me. Anyway recap, the group was attacked by a ghost and Sam and the others now know Danny's secret. How did he become cursed in the first place? Find out in Chapter #5.

Chapter #5 What Happened Years Ago

"What do you mean curse?" Sam asked.

It was hours since the attack at the cave and the group just finished set up camp in the woods. The elder Fentons had set up a barrier around the camp site to protect the teens while they went hunting for food. Valerie and Jazz were treating Tucker's injuries when Sam asked about Danny's curse.

"What happened to you?"

"Well." Danny started. "We just found the gem and were heading back home when something happened..."

Flashback-Six years earlier

It has two days since they found the cave and got the gem. The Gem of Ainsley. A powerful object rumored to have the power to banish a hundred supernatural beings to the Underworld. It wasn't easy getting pass the traps Ainsley left to protect the gem, but in the end, the Fentons got the gem and are now now their way back to Amity.

"Come on, Danny." Maddie said, trying to pull her sons' shirt off. He got a huge cut from escaping the the chamber the gem was kept in. "Let me see it."

"Jazz already look it, mom." Danny said, pulling his shirt back. "She said it'll heal in a couple of days."

"Ok, then." she said, "Good night."

"'Night." Danny said.

He laid down on his mat and pulled the blanket up to his neck.

"Danny."

A few hours later, Danny woke up unsure what disturbed his sleep. He sat up and looked around. Nothing was out of the ordinary. His parents and older sister were sleeping peacefully on their mats and there were no signs of any creatures, natural or supernatural, nearby.

"Danny." a female voice called.

"Hello." Danny called as he stood up.

"Danny." the woman said again. "Come to me, Danny."

Before he could do anything, his eyes glowed and turned teal. He slowly got to his feet and out of the campsite and into the woods. He walked and walked until he reached a small clearing. Standing in front of him was a young woman around his age with tan skin, teal eyes and long brown hair. She wore a purple dress with a blue cord tied around her waist and no shoes of any kind. She smiled as she saw the young knight walk towards her.

"Hello, Danny." she greeted. "I've been expecting you."

"Who are you?" Danny asked his voice hollow and empty.

"In time, my darling."

The woman walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. She pulled back and looked up at Danny.

"Look into my eyes, Danny Fenton." she purred. "Let me have you."

She smiled slyly as her eyes glowed red and Danny started to feel weak. He moaned as he collapsed to the ground. The woman kneeled down and gathered Danny in her arms.

"You're mine." she said as she lowered her face to his and placed a light kiss on his lips.

Danny's eyes shot opened as he felt his energy drain from him. He tried to push the woman off him but he couldn't. His arms felt heavy along with the rest of his body. He moaned as he felt the life leave him. Who is this woman? What is she? She grinned as she drained half of his life and absorbed it into her.

"Danny!"

The woman growled as she looked up to see the rest of the Fenton family running towards them.

"He's mine." she snarled.

She stood up and fired an energy beam at the knights. They jumped out of the way of the blast. Jazz got up and threw a small bag at the woman. It landed on the ground in front of her and sprayed powder all over the place. She screamed as she caught a faceful and covered her face with her hands.

"Oh, damn you, Knight!"

She lowered her hands. Revealing her red, blotchy face. She looked down at her reflection in a small puddle in front of her. She screamed and covered her face again.

"Oh, my beauty!" She shrieked. "You'll pay your that, knight! Pay with your life. I'll be back for you and for Danny! I'll be back."

With that she disappeared in a flash. Jazz stood up and looked at the spot the woman was standing. Who and what was that?


"Danny!"

Her thoughts were interupted when she heard her mother screamed her brother's name. She went over to her brother side and kneeled down beside her mother.

"Oh, Jack." Maddie sobbed. "He's cold as ice. He's..."

"No! He's not dead." Jack said. "He's a strong boy. He won't die on us."

Then Danny gasped and coughed. He coughed a few times before he laid still again.

"My head." he moaned as he opened his eyes. "What happened?"

He blinked when he noticed his family was stariing at him in shock.

"What?"

End Flashback

"...we found out later that the woman was a ghost that feeds on the life forces of men to keep her beauty. A ghost by the name of Lady Paulina" Danny finished.

Sam bit her lip. She heard of ghost. No one knew how she's been around only when she was alive she was a beautiful noble woman from England whos of Spainish and English birth. She was a shallow, selflish woman who cared nothing but her title and her beauty. When her beauty started to fade, she tried everything to return her beauty and keep it forever, but failed. She died in saddness. Saddness of losing her beauty and her soul.

"Wait, you were the victim of the Lady Paulina?" Valerie asked. "Why weren't dead like the rest?"

"She only suck out half of my life force." Danny explained. "Making me half dead. During the day, I look like the way you see me now. At night, my right eye turns green and glows. I can fly, turn ghost like, anything a ghost can do. I can't touch iron which is why I had to throw my armor away."

"Because it was made of iron." Sam said. "Why did you tell me it rusted?"

"I wanted to tell you what I am, but the time wasn't right."

Danny sighed and combed a patch of hair over his right. Nightfall wasn't for another few hours but ever since what happened six years ago. He didn't want people to see his right eye. Even thought it's not a glowing green color yet. Sam looked away for a minute before returning her attention to her friend. It explains why he always covers one of his eyes all the time but still he could've told her.

That day, when the sun had set over the horizon. Sam looked up from her meal to see Danny's right eye starting to change colour and glow brightly. She watch curiously before she looked down at her bowl when Danny turned to her. That night, while everyone slept. Sam watched Danny sleep for a few minutes. He said he was cursed though with his green eye covered no one could tell that anything was wrong with him. She watch him sleep for a while before she fell asleep.

Ok, there you have it. What'll happen next? Find out in the next chapter of To Be Control or Not To Be Control.
