Hello dear readers. This is another chapter in Maddie's point of view. I hope you enjoy it!
Tick, Tick, Tick.
Maddie was sitting in a chair staring at a clock.
It has been 5 hours, Phantom must be up by now. Why did I not question him originally? He reminds me so much of Danny when he sleeps. I hope Danny is ok.
Maddie, deciding enough is enough, she got up and walked down the staircase to talk to Phantom. She walked in to Danny just lying on the table, staring at the ceiling.
Is what I am doing Humane? Of course it is he is just a ghost after all. But even ghosts were once people.
"Mrs. Fenton, are you ok?" Phantom asked.
Maddie was brought back to reality.
"Yes, Yes. I just wanted to know if you know what happened to my son Danny."
Phantom tensed up when Maddie said his name. Maddie, taking this as a sign that he knew something, questioned him further.
"So you do know what happened to Danny."
"No, I mean yes, I uh know of him but not what happened to him," Phantom answered nervously.
Maddie was trying her best to not let her anger appear on her face.
"I know you know where my son is. Now, where is he?"
"I can't tell you. You wouldn't believe me if I told you," said Phantom.
"I will do anything for my son, Phantom. You better remember that."
"Even if you found out he was a ghost?" He asked.
"Even then."
"Well I can tell you for sure he isn't in the Ghost Zone. He is somewhere in Amity. Where, I can't tell you."
"If I find out you or one of your ghost friends hurt him, I will destroy any semblance of life you have left ghost. You can count on that."
Phantom just continued to stare at her unfazed by her words.
Why isn't he showing any emotion? Does he not care anymore?
Maddie, knowing she wasn't going to get any more out of Phantom, walked up the stairs to find her son. The first thing she could think of was to talk to Jazz again.
"Jazz, get down here please."
Jazz popped her head out of her room and quickly ran down the steps.
"What is it mom?" Jazz asked.
"I know Danny isn't at Tucker's. I want to know why you would lie to me and where Danny really is."
Jazz slowly started to walk back up the steps, hoping her mother wouldn't notice.
"Mom, all I can say is that for now Danny is safe and you should release Phantom."
"Jazz, stop. What does Phantom have to do with Danny and why can't you tell me where Danny is."
Jazz sighed.
"Mom, I can't tell you how they are related and it is Danny's secret. Just release Phantom and when Danny gets back ask him."
Maddie knew she was getting nowhere with Jazz. She needed to talk to someone else. Jack was home she could talk to him.
"Ok Jazz, I got to go talk to your father."
Maddie walked into her and Jack's shared bedroom where Jack was currently watching T.V.
"Jack, I don't know what to do with our kids. They are obviously hiding something and now I learned they are somehow connected to Phantom. Don't they know how dangerous he is? We also still have no leads on where Danny went."
Jack stopped watching T.V. once he noticed how stressed out Maddie was.
"Mads, you remember how we were when we were kids. We kept secrets from our parents and I am sure you were at least a little reckless. We will find Danny eventually."
"But Jack, we never hanged out with a dangerous ghost like Phantom. It is actually funny, a couple hours ago I walked in to Phantom sleeping just like Danny does. He looked just like Danny then."
Phantom and Danny can look so similar at times.
Maddie remembered her earlier conversation with Phantom about halfa's.
No, Phantom and Danny can't be related. Danny would have to have a lot of ectoplasm go throughout his body and actually change his DNA. Not only would that probably kill him, it would be incredibly painful. But Phantom has helped the town, and he has to have access to the Ghost Portal to release ghosts into the Ghost Zone, and why Danny isn't here and why Jazz won't tell me anything. It would also explain while most of our gadgets go after Danny.
"Jack do you believe someone could become half ghost?"
Jack looked surprised by Maddie's question.
"Well we both know that some scientists are making waves in that field. It would require a lot of energy, but it could be possible. The ectoplasm just has to change someone's genetic code to create more ectoplasm. The DNA also has to be able to replicate safely. Why?"
The only thing we have built that would release so much ectoplasm would be the Ghost Portal. It did mysteriously turn on one day, but Danny knows not to go into our lab alone. He is a teenager though, he wouldn't listen. Oh no!
"Jack you don't think…..never mind"
If I tell Jack, he will be heartbroken, but he deserves to know. Well Danny doesn't know I know, and I want him to tell us himself, not the other way around.
"Honey, I don't think Phantom is evil anymore."
"But Mads, he is a no good ghost."
She wanted to tell Jack that he was talking about their son, but knew not to.
"Jack it is inhumane."
Jack sighed.
"Fine Maddie, but if he makes one mistake-"
"He won't, I promise." Maddie interjected
"Fine then, you can release him."
Maddie rejoiced on the inside. She got up and walked down two flights of stairs into the lab. Phantom was just lying there staring at the ceiling.
"Okay Phantom, she said while turning off a machine. You can go."
Phantom was obviously shocked by what she said.
"Wait you are releasing me?" he asked.
"Yes, me and my husband talked it over and we agreed that you can go. We will be keeping an eye on you though."
"Uh, thank you!" he said while getting off the table and standing up.
"Just don't destroy the town."
"Don't worry I won't."
He then shot up off the ground and went through the ceiling of Fenton Works.
Time to see if I am right about Phantom being Danny
Please tell me what you guys thought of this chapter. Did I rush Maddie knowing or do you guys think this wasn't relevant to the story? I want you opinions because I will probably base some future chapter off of this one so please review. Also does anyone know if my theory on how Danny got his powers is new or something? The other Fan fiction I read kinda said that but never said everything I thought.
