Danny stared at the man in front of him for what seemed like forever. His heart was beating fast and he found that his throat went dry and he lost his words. Just the look on the others face made Danny feel sick to his stomach. The vampire like man glared at him, clearly getting frustrated that Danny didn't answer him right away. " I asked you a question boy! Now answer me or face my wrath!" The man seethed as he gripped the front on Dannys shirt to bring him eye level with the other man.

What if this was Plasmius?

Cold dreed filled uo Dannys insides at the thought. With all the bravery he could come up with, he returned the glare and said "Shouldn't I be asking YOU that? " Glaring daggers into blood red eyes that narrowed at the question. " You are trespassing. "

" I'm the great Vladimir Plasmius, future ruler of the Demon World! And I will not be talked back to by the likes of you!" Plasmius said before tightening his grip on Dannys shirt while the human tried to get away but his effort was for not. Great, he pissed off the bad guy and was going to die a probable slow and painful death. Not today. Danny swung his legs forward and kicked Plasmius in his lower abdomen, making the older demon gasp from pain and drop him.

Danny started to look around for anything he could use as a weapon, he backed up a couple steps before nearly jumping out of his skin at the sound of a door being forced open with so much power he was sure it was broken now. " Plasmius, you know damn well that you are not parmitted on the castle grounds. Leave at once or face the ugly consequences of your actions. " Phantom said in a deep voice as he marched right over to Danny and Plasmius, putting himself between the two, Fright right behind him with his sword drawn. The soon-to-be King looked at Danny with a disapproving look and mumbled under his breath that he would be discussing this later with him. " Leave now!"

" Phantom is that any way to treat a guest? Surely you know better." Plasmius mocked Phantom with a smirk on his face, but he was nowhere near relaxed.

" You are no guest! How did you get past my guards in the Villa?" Phantom seethed through grit teeth, pretty sure if he added anymore pressure he would crack some of his teeth right in two. This man; Phantom scoffed at the idea of even calling Plasmius a man, had DARED come into HIS home amd start wreaking havoc?! Not on his watch.

" That's not important. What is however is your new little friend, would he be another consort damned to death to roit in hell with all the other?" Plasmius sneared as he swung a fist at Phantom, who douged it returning his attack with as much rage as he could pull together. He landed a swift kick to the olders side, his radioactive green eyes a blaze with fury, turning almost completely green as ecto-blasts charged in his hands.

Not Danny. Not again, not ever again.

Plasmius was then sent flying when Fright decided to come up from behind and use his sword as a baseball bat, making the other go over the villa wall. Phantom cursed, he wanted that ass hat out of the way so that he coukd go through with his plans of marrying Danny.

Speaking of which...

Phantom rounded on Danny to give him a level stare," Just what did you think you were doing?" Danny went to answer but Phantom cut him off, "Fright, take some men and go after Plasmius. He is to NEVER come back!" Phantom ordered, Fright Knight bowed with a quick yes your highness, before turning to get his Frightmere and some back up. Before Danny could protest, he was grabbed by his upper arm by Phantom and was being taken back into the castle. Once insode Phantom pinned Danny to a wall, making the human hive an odd yelp sound. He stared into those intense green eyes for what seemed like forever, they were the perfect shade of green. Phantoms face was hard at first but then it softened slightly and he sighed. " Are you okay?"

Danny was taken aback by how soft his tone was. Finally finding his voice he nodded and answered, " Yes, I'm fine." Phantom gave a soft sigh as if he had been holding his breath the whole time. Danny in that moment came very aware of how close they were to one another a flushed, looking down at his shoes.

" Good, now I'll ask again. What do you think you were doing? He could have hurt you he could have KILLED you!" Phantom said as he tried to stress the seriousness of the situation to Danny.

The human snapped his eyes back up to Phantoms glowing ones amd glared. " Why does that matter? You're just going to kill me anyway!" Danny grit as he tried to to get away from Phantom but failed, he needed to workout more.

Phantom sighed through his nose, the air hitting Dannys lips making him shiver. " Yes, but we have yet to talk about anything. Something that we must do, but something you need to understand is that only on the day that we wed, can I take your life. Me. No one else or you won't come back."

" What?"

"If Plasmius were to kill you, that's it you're dead. You wouldn't come back as anything, not a ghost, demon, angel what have you. You would just be dead."

"Why?" Danny found himself asking as he relaxed a bit in Phantoms hold.

" That is a question for Clockwork, all I know is that is what happens." Phantom let Danny go and turned to walk away sadly as past thoughts plagued his mind. "I will have Fright watch over you to keep you out of trouble. "

" This has happened before hasn't it?" Danny asked ignoring that he wasn't allowed walk around by himself. He stepped away from the wall and looked at how Phantom stiffed at his question. That was a big yes.

" Yes. " Phantom mumbled softly. " But you don't need to worry about that, get some rest. We have much to talk about tom1, and we will talk." With that Phantom left without another glance at Danny, leaving the poor human in the hallway wondering what was going to become of him and his life.

Going back to his room Danny felt tears in his eyes. This was too much and he wanted out, now! How could this even be happening to him? He was supposed to die and marry Phantom, but oh no, no one else was allowed to end his life. It had to be Phantom. With a shuddered shaky breath, Danny passed a hand through his hair. His mind then went to his family, teying to think of something other then his fated doom. His eyes widened, shit his FAMILY. He's been gone for days now they must be having a heart atrack over where he is!

Great, more stress. What else could go wrong?

When he reached his room he notcied something on the floor. Picking it up it was a couple flowers with a note thst said:

I apologize for the way a talked to you today and for the added stress. I know this may not be a good way to do this, but I hooe that this can be a good start.

~Phantom

Danny smiled at the note and flowers, he stepped inside his room and put them down, still smiling. It only five minutes of staring at them did Danny want to beat his head in with a hammer. This is not happening. He was NOT going to fall for that soon-to-be King jerk hole. Even if his eyes glow softly and his snow white hair looks as soft as clouds and the he smi- NO!

Danny groaned and put his face in his hands as he sat down on his bed. This was not happening, he couldn't fall in love with Phantom, no matter how nice and charming he was.

Right?
