Chapter 4
Danny Fenton sat, bored out of his mind, trying to concentrate on whatever the class was doing. He was in math class if he remembered correctly, not that he really cared. The halfa looked to the clock and read 9:30 am. Ugh.
School was always a bore, but ever since his identity was exposed, the teachers decided he was smart and gave him a 75% or higher no matter how terribly he failed. At first, it was awesome but after a while, there was nothing to come to school for. It didn't matter if he even came or not, they all just wanted to get on his good side- except Lancer (of course).
The popularity was irritating and not at all like the attention everyone given him when he "dated Paulina". There were crowds constantly gathering around him, trying to tear him apart for an autograph or a picture. There was also the harassment Sam got for being his girlfriend. You'd think that people would leave the Hero of Earth's girlfriend alone, but really, they just got more vicious. Paulina kept going after her, of course, reporters and journalists hunted her down to get the scoop on Danny Phantom's love life, and there was also his mass group of anti- fans berating the Goth.
And so, there he sat, in math class, dozing off until there was a chilling sensation rising up in his chest. He let go of the cloud and looked around for the ghost. Not seeing it, Danny raised his hand and excused himself from the class.
When he reached the outside of the school, he saw a familiar head of blonde sitting on one of the lunch benches.
"Allyson?" he called.
Said girl turned her head to see Danny. She smiled at him warmly, gesturing him over. "What are you doing out here?" she asked sweetly.
"I felt a ghost nearby and wanted to check it out. What are you doing here?"
"Oh, I was just in the neighborhood and I wanted to see Sammy, but I'm not sure what time her lunch is…" she trailed off to check her watch. It read 9:50 am. 'Perfect. Now I just have to keep him talking…'
"I should probably go look now," he said, walking the opposite direction. "Oh yeah, and lunch is at 12:35."
Allyson stood up and followed him. "Maybe I could come with you?" She looked at her watch again. "It's only 9:53 and I have a lot of free time. I promise not to get in the way," she pleaded, looking up at him with puppy- dog eyes. She clasped her hands together and smiled expectantly.
Danny furrowed his eyebrows, unsure of what to do. It could get dangerous, but if he doesn't take her, she will probably follow him and get even more hurt. He nodded, causing the Manson to let out a small squeal. It was strange seeing his girlfriend's face on the body of her polar opposite. The bubbly and kind girl was an interesting character that Danny couldn't help but like.
"So where's the ghost?" she asked, looking all around. Her blonde hair blew with the slight breeze, causing Danny's eyes to constantly flicker to it. For a moment, Danny thought he preferred blonde over black, then shook the thought away. What was he thinking? Was he starting to like his girlfriend's sister?
Danny was pulled out of his thoughts by another cold breath. "I think he's over there." Danny pointed to behind the school.
"He…?"
"There's a ghost named Ryloe that keeps showing up and I have a funny feeling that this is him." He quickly went ghost and took a defensive stance in front of the blonde. A few moments of silence led to a Bang behind the school.
Danny lifted himself higher into the air to spot the ectoplasm- filled being from the air. After a few minutes of waiting in the air, Danny heard a bloodcurdling scream from where he left Ally. Shooting back down to the ground, Danny found the pale ghost attacking the girl. Just when he is about to let out an energy blast, he suddenly found himself trapped inside a sphere of energy. The glowing purple orb held Danny so tight he couldn't get free.
The next thing he knew, Allyson was beating the ghost with just her hands! She then grabbed a bench and pulled a piece of wood clean off with ridiculous strength. The girl started to bludgeon the suddenly still ghost, cursing and berating him. Shocked, all the halfa could do was watch with an incredulous expression.
When Ryloe finally retreated and Danny was freed, Allyson dropped the splintering wood. Danny could have sworn he saw her eyes flash red before she fainted.
What the heck is going on?
(A/N): Another chapter down! Sorry for the late update and super short chapter, but gosh, school is such a pain! I barely get any writing done anymore :( Oh well... I kinda didnt like this chapter all that much though 'cuz Allyson keeps getting in between everything! Oh, and if you want to see a blonde Sam pic, I'd bee happy to upload one.
So what did you guys think? Is Allyson Ryloe's master, or is someone else behind this? Review please!
