SO I finally decided where I was going to take this story. I might throw in a few things you guess suggested but I think you will like what I thought of. If you have a one-shot for me to write (Danny Phantom related or an original one-shot just specify) post a comment or Pm me! If it's an original it will be posted on

"Okay, Spectra was definitely not working alone." Vlad mused as he paced around his private study.
Danny watched him as he sat in a chair. Vlad had asked to speak with him about the matter. It was a serious matter so Danny wasn't antagonizing Vlad, not yet anyway. "She had Bertrand's help." He pointed out.
"That's not what I meant." Vlad pinched the bridge of his nose. "Those two are a package deal. I meant someone more powerful than her. Spectra wouldn't be capable of surprising us like that. We suddenly wake up in a forest in Wisconsin."
"Maybe if you let her rant, she would have told you." Danny huffed. He had asked Vlad what happened in excruciating detail.
Rolling his eyes, Vlad pretended to ignore the younger hybrid and continued. "After all, our ghost sense would have went off and woke us up. How could we stay in that deep of a sleep?"
Realization suddenly hit Danny, "I know who worked with her. I may not know what they wanted with your two but they both hate me. Spectra wanted my DNA to make a new body before but I ruined it. Maybe she wanted to finally take my DNA?"
"Perhaps, that was her goal. It makes sense. Who was the other ghost?" Vlad looked at Danny closely.
"We dealt with him…er I did. His name is Nocturne and he can put anybody under a deep sleep. That's what powers him. I woke up floating in the Ghost Zone though but I don't remember how I got there. However, there was a sleeping machine on my head to get my sleep waves….I think. Anyway, it turned to be a nightmare and I woke up, which broke the machine"
Vlad hummed for a minute thinking. "We need to find out what he wanted with all of us. I can understand you and me but why Maddie?"
Meanwhile, Maddie was up in her guest bedroom deep in thought. She had taken the whole hybrid thing really well but on the inside she was freaking out. Her son was a ghost! Of course, she still loved him but it was…impossi… no Vlad proved to her it wasn't. She may of forgiven the man temporarily but he was evil unlike Danny…right? Maddie shook her head, she didn't know! Everything she had believed to be impossible or true was thrown back in her face by one conversation. She didn't know what to think anymore! Something suddenly popped into her head, a terrible thought. She had hunted her own son! How could he ever forgive her? she hurt her own son! To make it worse, she can't even show that she is sorry or even apologize because he doesn't know that she knows. Would he be mad that she knew? Would he become malevolent? She shook her head, she was starting to think of him more as a ghost but he is human as well. This information was torturing her mind.
To get out of the room for it seemed to close in around her, though it was huge, she went to explore the mansion. Voices carried down the hall, ones she quickly recognized to be Vlad and Danny. The seriousness of their tone led Maddie to believe it was an important matter but it didn't stop her from getting closer to eavesdrop.
"Perhaps, that was her goal. It makes sense. Who was the other ghost?" Vlad's voice sounded in a curious but serious tone.
"We dealt with him…er I did. His name is Nocturne and he can put anybody under a deep sleep. That's what powers him. I woke up floating in the Ghost Zone though but I don't remember how I got there. However, there was a sleeping machine on my head to get my sleep waves….I think. Anyway, it turned to be a nightmare and I woke up, which broke the machine." Danny spoke casually but Maddie could tell he wasn't giving any details. However, her son had been in the ghost zone! He could have been killed! Wait…wasn't he already half-dead? Maddie shook her head to clear the thought away.
She heard Vlad sigh before muttering. "If you didn't play hero all the time, perhaps you wouldn't have so many ghostly enemies."
Danny must of caught what Vlad said for he talked in a slightly raised voice, clearly angry. "I don't play hero! Besides, you think I'm just going to stand by and let ghosts take over the town when I can stop them! Someone has to throw their butts back into the ghost zone."
"Maybe if you knew more about ghost culture then you would know that all you have to do is claim the town as your haunt! Why do you think so little ghost come to Wisconsin? That's because I claimed it as my haunt! You must be feared or respected in the ghost zone in order for ghosts to stop attacking. You Daniel, are only feared when you have a really bad day and won't show mercy on the ghosts. You are respected but only slightly by a few. That's why you have so much trouble. Did you not realize that when you have really bad days the ghosts avoid you?" Vlad asked with disbelief in his voice.
All this information was hard to take in. However, it was new information to her and the scientist in her made her stay to listen. She had never seen Phantom be vicious. He looked really grumpy some days but there was never much ghost activity to tell if he was having a really bad day.
Silence filled the room Danny and Vlad were in. "I'm going to go get something to eat and clear my head. You can deal with this, Nocturne may not be a problem if he only helped Spectra once. I'm not too worried about it." Danny responded after some time. Footsteps were heard near the door causing Maddie to hold her breathe and stay hidden.
Danny didn't seem to see her as he went down the hall before dropping through the floor, with his intangibility. Vlad stood just outside the door.
"You can come out now, Maddie." Vlad spoke calmly as he watched her walk out of the shadows. "He still has yet to decide whether he is more human than ghost or ghost then human. Technically, our blood 50% of each but it's a mental hang up. I had the same problem. However, my decision was easier for I had no loved ones." Vlad mused as he glanced over at her slightly freaked out face. He could tell all the information was getting to her. "Why Maddie, you look like you have seen a ghost."
"We need to talk about Danny." Maddie decided. Vlad was right, the information was getting to her but she could take time later to let it sink in.
Stepping back into the private study, he gestured for Maddie to follow. The door closed with a quiet click behind them.
Alright! Please read and review!
