SURVIVING THE TITANS!

Chapter Thirteen: Raven

Saturday- Amitypark:

Danny sighed as he looked up to the starlet sky, Vlad was up to something; he could fill it. 'But what?' Danny wondered. He feared he'd find out too late.

Danny yawned stretching out on the shingles of the randomly selected roof he occupied.

'Something's here!' Danny thought suddenly, as he sat up with a jolt filling a shiver run down his spine. It wasn't a ghost though, his since didn't go off. 'What is it?' He wondered. He turned quickly to the filling to face...

Raven.

"Do you always sneak up on unsuspecting ghost like that?" He asked sourly.

"Only when I have to." She said dryly.

"What do you want?"

Raven just floated there a second looking at him. "I was patrolling." Danny stiffened a bit. "You have a very unique signature... for a ghost... so neutral to their usual patterns..."

Danny just gave her a hard look, "What? I can't be different?" He asked sounding oddly like a close friend of his...

"Of cores you can. But different involves secrets, different involves trouble, and different is something that's not so... different to me..."

Danny reverted his gaze returning his eyes to the skies. "Life involves secrets." Danny said.

"That's my point." Raven said bluntly.

'There was a point in there?' He wondered.

Danny shook his head. "What do you want, I don't fill like fighting but-" Danny glanced at her again.

Raven sighed and sat down next to him. She didn't make a move to strike him so he staid still, watching her, as her violet hair curled in the soft breeze. "What kind of ghost hunts their own kind?" Raven asked suddenly. "I mean that is what you do isn't it?"

"Yeah, but you should meet Skulker before you start telling me off about hunting my own kind." Danny laughed. "At least I have a reason."

'So she just wants to talk?'

"Skulker?" Raven said and hint of surprise in her voice. "The Ghost Worlds Greatest Hunter?"

Danny blinked in surprise. 'How much does she know?'

"He's a myth."

Danny laughed instantly. "Skulker? A myth? Ha, what makes him a myth?"

"Well..." Raven said slowly, she was obviously a little put off by his attitude. "They say he's a hunter of oddities of both the human and the ghost worlds..."

Danny nodded. "True."

"He's almost demon like, he can sore at impossible speeds, being stronger than any man and he burns of fire."

Danny couldn't help it any more, he busted out laughing. "Well! With his suit he is pretty intimidating and his hair is flam like but the real Skulker is just a blob!"

Ravens face turned red and Danny couldn't help but notice a few shingles take orbit. "Slob?" She said.

"No," Danny corrected. "Blob."

Raven gave him a look, obviously not liking that a myth wasn't really a myth and that she was talking as if she were scared of it and Danny was laughing about it. "Whatever! Still why? I mean, the only thing you could get out of-

"I protect these people whether they like me or not. It doesn't mater why." Danny said solidly. Believing every word.

"When you get stuck in a tight spot were its either you or them, then, it would mater." Raven said.

Danny glared at her. "What you think I'd turn and run, tell between my legs?" He felt insulted at the very idea.

"No." She said looking in his brilliant green eyes. "I don't. You have a strong will, for what ever reason... I'm sure you'd give every thing you had before you let these people down. Even though they hate you… you still do good."

"Tell me... why shouldn't I?"

"You should." Raven said. "We all fight to be good, at least those of us who are sane." She was silent after this, lost some where in the past.

Danny frowned at her words then spoke his mind. "None of you trust me. To you I'm just a ghost."

"Not to me." Raven said. "I can since you're not evil Danny." She looked at him catching his eyes. "Its frightening... you're almost too human..."

Danny swallowed and looked away. "You can since spirits and there energy's?"

"I can... witch reminds me... do you know Danny Fenton?" Danny coughed at the question shocked she'd ask. "He also has a unique signature... His spirit fills so strong..."

"No, I don't know him." Danny didn't look at her afraid that she'd see through his lie. "I dill with the hunters and the ghost, not with anyone else."

Raven nodded, and then spared a confused glance as Danny gasped and shivered. "There's a ghost." He explained.

"This ones weak though. It couldn't be that much of a threat..."

Danny groaned. "It's the weaker ones that are the pest. They think they're all that but all they are is a waste of time and energy."

"Then why chase them?"

"Because." Danny said, taking off, Raven at his heals.

"It couldn't do much..." Raven continued to protest to deft ears.

Suddenly they landed on a seen of people slipping and stumbling on an iced down side walk. "Won't any one be my friend?"

"Klimber!" Danny snapped. The pajama ghost looked his way and smiled.

"You will be my friend?"

Danny paled. "No! Just go home and I won't kick your butt!"

"That's mature." Raven muttered at the comment.

Klimber soared toured them with an excited kick. Danny flew up out of the death trap of the 'Bair Hug' right before it hit him, but Raven didn't move.

Big mistake.

Before she knew it she was in the ghost arms being hugged. It wasn't long though as a jolt of electricity jumped from her deflector and zapped the naive Klimber off of her.

Pore Klimber was nearly brought to tears as the shock sent him flying. Raven herself looked absolutely mortified.

Klimber took a breath preparing to cocoon Raven in a blanket of ice, angry at her for attacking him, when he was hit in the side by a green ray. "Back off!" Danny cried. Then he soared after as he pulled out his thermoses. With in seconds Klimber was gone.

Danny landed next to Raven who was still shaking off the incident. "You okay?" Danny asked.

"I'm fine." Raven grumbled.

"I'm sorry that happened." Danny said. "Klimber's a bit...

"Friendly." Raven said "Got it."

Danny frowned, blushing slightly, embraced for some reason. "Great way to prove my innocence. Have my hunters squeezed to death by a ghost."

Raven snorted. "Let me know how that works out."

Danny laughed. "Okay." He blushed when she looked up at him their eyes locking a moment. 'What is this?' He wondered getting lost in her purple eyes.

"Thank you Danny, for talking." Raven said then, and made for the sky, pulling her hood over her face. "We all have secrets, and I understand why you keep yours... I'll see you again. Danny."

With that Raven flew away.

Again Danny wondered how much she knew.
