Phantom Family Chapter 3
Ellie opened her eyes and sat up from her bed and moved her arm shocked to find it didn't hurt.
She flew to her mirror and noticed that all her cuts and bruises were gone as well. But the real kicker was that her eyes had a gold glow instead of the usual green.
She transformed into her ghost half and her suspicions were confirmed Ellie now had golden eyes and white hair even whiter than Danny's. 'At least no one can mistake me for him anymore, in this form at least.' She thought.
Ellie grabbed a brush and combed through her white hair once that was done she walked out of her room to find Dan sitting on her couch.
"Took you long enough." Dan accusingly as if she was the reason for his boredom.
Ellie ignored him and asked him a question that's been on her mind since she's met him. "Why do you look like Danny and somehow like Vlad at the same time?"
Dan smirked expecting this question sooner than later. "As long as you answer my question I'll tell you. "
Ellie nodded and sat down in the chair across from him. "I'm from an alternate timeline, where Danny and Vlad's Ghost side merged to create me" Dan explained before Ellie could get a word in edge wise.
Dan asked "How about you Ellie?" As he watched her wince.
Ellie responded with her shoulders hunched and her voice low. "I'm a clone of Danny using his DNA created by Vlad.."
Dan of course heard it if his pointy ears were anything to go by. "That explains so many things." Dan replied sincerely for once.
Ellie replied with "I guess so" As she opened her mouth to poise a question she shut it just as fast feeling a strange tug in her ghost core.
All of a sudden it was like her body went on autopilot as she watched in the front seat. Ellie opened her door and flew to Desiree's lair which was literally a huge gold genie bottle.
Ellie transformed into her human form and phased through the wall Until she found what she was looking for a compass filled with ghostly energy that could find whatever you desired.
How Ellie knew this was that she could sense the energy emanating from the object.
Seizing this chance she slipped it in her pocket and phased through Desiree's home and took off towards her lair.
Ellie went inside her lair and saw Dan sitting right where she left him. Dan smirked"So you finally found it your obsession, huh?"
"I guess I wasn't excepting it to be, stealing, though. What will Danny think of me now?" Ellie frowned as her eyes filled with tears.
"You may be his clone but your life doesn't revolve around him besides there's a plethora of ghosts around that steal ancient artifacts. You can get them back and fulfill the pull of your obsession along with doing a good deed. " Dan explained.
"Thanks, Dan but what gives? You don't seem to be the type to care." Ellie asked as she wiped her tears away with her sleeve.
"Simple the less I see of Danny the better... " Dan breathed out.
"Why did my eyes and hair change color?" Ellie questioned curious of this new discovery.
"Well, your ghost core is an awakened electric core which causes physical changes as well as mental." Dan replied.
"What kind of mental changes?" Ellie asked once more as felt nervous about the answer she would receive.
"Oh, you know finding out your obsession having little changes happen to your psyche until you can't recognize yourself anymore" Dan explained with a straight face.
"What!" Ellie exclaimed.
"Relax, I'm kidding" Dan said with a smirk. 'That's what happened to me before I became this' Dan thought with a frown.
"You have a pretty dark sense of humor" Ellie mumbled in annoyance.
All of sudden her body was accumulating sweat and her legs shook struggling to stand upright.
Ellie's legs gave out she tried to use her ghost powers but found it out of her reach.
Just before she hit the floor Dan caught her in his arms. "Clockwork, I know your watching get over here!" Dan yelled.
