In the little Town of Amity Park, the most reputed hauted town of Ameriqua, a brun boy, his hood covering his pale face , his hands in his pockets aged of fourteen years old wanders the deserted streets of his home town in a torrential downpour.
The teen responding to the name Daniel James Fenton also know as Danny Fenton aka Danny Phantom found himself alone after his family kick him out after discovering his secret and his two best friends turned theirs back on him.
The scene of the discovery of his secret play in loops in his head. He just beat for the fifth time of the week the ghost of the boxes even trought it was only wednesday at the end of the day. The Halfa was going to make the ghost in his dimension when his parents had irrupted in the labotory. The two ghost hunters held their weapons on the ghost teen.
« Mom ! Dad ! I can explain everything to you ! panic the Helfa. He didn't wanted to reveal himself like this but he didn't had choise.
-Explain us what dirty ghost ? You only are a monster ! Tell us where is our son ? Ask Maddie approching him whit her weapon. Danny who was at that time in his ghost frome transform back to his human frome.
-I sweat to you it's me ! I'm Danny ! I'm your son ! No ghost posses me . I am human and ghost, he defend himself.
-Our son never will be a dirty ghost ! shouted Jack. He will never be a monster made of etoplam !
-But …
-Go away from here ghost we never had a son to begin whit. And even less of a monster of a child. Added Maddie. Danny transform back into his ghost forme, tears in his eyes and leave his home whit an heavy heart. His own parents had disowned him. And Jazz who had promise that his parents would accpet him no matter what had been wrong for the frist time of is life. And of course the moment he need his sister the moqst she isn't here.
Next he goes to Sam's house and. He suprised his two best friends kissing. The two started to undress.
-Are you sure you want to do it Sam ? Ask Tucker worried
-Yes Tucker, i'm sure ! I trust you Tuck ! I know you won't hurt me and goes at me peace.
-Good and for Danny ?
-For this monster, we say nothing to him ! If happend to discore it he will become like Vlad ! And it's the last thing we want ! And let's stay whit him for few more days before making an end to our friendship.
Felling betrayed, once again by the person he loved and hurt by they propos of his ex best friend. He returned one thousand time the sentence in his head, he will become like Vlad, if he happend to know. He will become like Vlad. Never in his life he will become like him, never. He couldn't ask help to anyone. He deicide to wanders in the streets and it was like that he end up in this situation, alone, woked wet to the bones, later in the streets of the town a night of Halloween. And his tears flowing freely on his face mixed whit the rain.
This last hour has to be nothing but an horrible nightmare . This couldn't be the reality . It was a trick from Nocturn or Frightknight . Said Danny to persuade himself and continue t advance and don't face the reality. Then at the park, he sit on the edge of the fontain where Desiree lives who was listening whit him knowing. His tears still in his eyes.
-I wish that my life is like before whispper the boy. I want to get my true identity back, he whit the same tone beforre falling unconssious because of the mental epuisement. Desiree had hear him and even if she dislike the boy for defeating her, she can't help her self to exaut his wish . After all exausting wishies was her obsession.
Danny wake up in a confortable ans soft bed. It was hot. The fourteen yearl old kid refuse to open his eyes not wantting to lose this sensation of security. She moans.
- Hello littek princess greated Vlad
- Vl-ad ?
- Yes little princess
- What happend ?
- We don't know just that Desiree found you and realise your wish that was that everything goes back to normal.
- Why am i here and not in your labotory
- It's a story for another time but your wish reveal who you really are and this person is really important for the ghost zone. Go back to sleep you still need sleep. After you wake up next it will be needed to explain why Desiree found you in this state. The girl nod her head.
After those words Danny fall back asleep. The kid know that something was going on and that her memories where the key,
Vlad Plasmius more know as Vlad Masters leave the kid's room, close the door slowly and goes down to the othres ghosts that are waiting for him in te livingroom.
- How is she, ask Desiree. Vlad sigh fearing that question
- She go be better. Seeing me she didn't do a crise nor struggles or try to escape. I consider that like a good point. But from the other side i think that she is lost whit everything that happend to her even trought i want to know what put her in this state. We all know her and it's need a lot to break her like she is.
- Like all of us ! Declam the the horror knight, in the frist time, she need to trust us. And after maybe she will open up.
- I will miss not chassing her, plaid Skulker.
- She will need time to adapt to her new life. Nocturne can you watchher sleep. Ask Vlad, she really need rest and it will be best to avoid her doing nightamares,
The big ghost nod his head and fly in direction of Daniella. He land on top of her bed.
Some hours later, the teen wake up and Vlad is once again at her side whit a lunch trail.
- Hello Daniella how are you
- Hello to you too Vlad, mostly well. Not noticing the the name use by the older.
- I'm surprised at you, I'd have thought you'd run off at the first opportunity as soon as you recognised the room.
- One of the reasons I'm staying is that you're the only person I can rely on at the moment. And another reason is that even if my memories of when the Fentons kidnapped me are hazy, you were the one who brought me up in the human world, so I have a modicum of trust in you. And if you wanted to kill me, I wouldn't be here but in your laboratory, undergoing some experiment.
- Do you remember this?
- Like I said, it's all a blur, but the only thing I know for sure is that the Fentons kidnapped me and gave me hormones to make me look like a boy.
Danny's stomach growls to make his presence known. The girl blushes in embarrassment and Vlad laughs gently at her.
He hands her the meal tray and thanks him with a look. While she eats, the two halfa continue to chat, avoiding the subject of "Amity Park", much to the teenager's relief.
Once the tray was finished, Vlad placed it on the desk. What do you want to do about classes?
- I'd like to go back to Casper but to do that I need a new identity because otherwise the Fentons and my ex-friends will guess that it's me. Even if they're idiots, they'll make a direct link with me. That's why I need Daniel and Ellie, my new name for the public, to meet at least once and then Daniel Fenton can disappear and we won't have to worry about anyone looking for him! All we have to do is find Amorpho, ask him to take on my appearance and have witnesses watch him die.
- As for where to find him, he's downstairs with the other ghosts you've met. Get some more rest. We'll come up with a plan tomorrow.
- Thank you Vlad for everything! I really do.
- Please, Daniella, get some sleep now, you need it and your memories will surely be clearer tomorrow. But first, why did Désiré find you soaked to the bone?
- The Fentons discovered my secret, they tried to kill me and my 'best' friends are having sex behind my back and they're only in it for me. I don't want anything more to do with them!
- They wanted to dissect you?
- Yes, they did. Ran away. And then you know the rest of the story. I'm going to ask you just one thing - no attacks on my family or friends until I've worked out a plan. Knowing you and the others, I know you'll be able to kill them.
- No promises little Princess, now sleep. Your body still needs rest.
In a few minutes the child fell asleep. Vlad joins the other ghosts in his laboratory.
- So, how is she? Pandora asks.
- She's doing better. I know the broad outline of events. Her parents tried to kill her after discovering she was a Halfa and they disowned her. Her 'friends' betrayed her by having sex behind her back. She won't let us take care of them," growls the man. The good news is that she's starting to remember her life before she was kidnapped.
- Did she get her place back? Dora asks with interest.
- Maybe she did? I've no idea. But there's a good chance she will, given that she no longer has any ties to the human world.
A few hours later Danny wakes up feeling completely rested.
- How are you feeling?
- I feel better!
- That's a good thing. Come on, the others want to see you!
- The others? I told you yesterday. Your wish has revealed your nature and the ghosts you fought are waiting in my laboratory to apologise.
- Well... what are you waiting for? The younger girl exclaims.
- Everyone wants to apologise.
Vlad pulls her and drags her into his laboratory in her ghostly form to buy time.
After Daniella forgives the ghosts present. She thinks of a new plan. Organising her death or taking her former parents to court would take too long.
- Desiree, can you grant me another wish?
- You know the formula, Danny. replied the woman in a gentle tone
- I wish that Daniel James Fenton never existed in the eyes of the public but that Daniella Masters exists in the eyes of the public and must be recognised as the biological daughter of Vladimir Masters.
- So be it!
- Are you sure that's a good thing? asks Vlad, shocked by the girl's wish.
- Yes. Having thought about it, organising my death or taking the Fenton family to court would take too long. And I wanted to stay as far away from them as possible. The best choice was a wish, even though I hate taking the easy way out. I had to make a wish that would take me away from them but at the same time change little or nothing in the course of time. This wish allows me to keep the timeline intact... or almost. And it means that the Fentons no longer have any rights over me. Nor will they be able to charge you with kidnapping a minor.
- Clever girl. Compliment. The owner of the castle
- Thank you," she smiled. By the way, Walker," he turns his attention to her. Thanks to my status, I've been granted a royal pardon. But if one day the people who put me in this state, you can arrest them for having entered a world that is not theirs and you can multiply my sentence by a hundred. And if they come as a ghost, I'm sure you'll find something to stop them and you'll have the right to add my sentence to them and multiply by any number you like. Everyone looks at her shocked. We don't think you're that petty.
- We don't think you're that petty!
- They tried to play me, they're going to lose. Stop thinking I'm a perfect little angel. I can be demonic when I want to be.
Two weeks later, the teenager returned to Casper High. During this time Clockwork had locked the castle in a loop so that the teenager could catch up on her lessons and learn to behave like a society girl.
- If you have the slightest problem, call me and I'll come and get you!
- Yes, Daddy," blows the girl. In the eyes of the world, she called Vlad Daddy to keep up the lie. Once out of sight, her name reverts back to Vlad. I really hope you haven't sent anyone to keep an eye on me.- We're worried about you! We don't know how you'll react when you see them.
- I'll be fine and just ignore them. If he has a big problem, I'll call you. The girl raises her eyes to the sky.
- Good.
The pair head for Principal Ishiyama's office.
- Good morning, Mr Mayor, and this, I presume, is your daughter?
- You presume correctly, this is Daniella. I've got some business to attend to, so I'll leave her in your hands. And behave yourself, Daniella.
- You know me, Dad, I'm a little angel. I'll see you tonight.
- That's exactly what I'm afraid of," mumbles Vlad as he leaves the office.
- Miss Masters, I'll take you to your class.
- I'll follow you, ma'am.
The girl smiles as she walks through the familiar corridors of her school.
- Your main teacher will be Mr Lancer, who will also teach you English, maths, history, science and literature. When she got to the front of the classroom, she knocked on the door.
- Come right in!
- Hello Mr Lancer, I've brought a new student.
- Introduce yourself!
- Hello everyone, my name is Daniella Masters but you can call me Elie.
- Why going to school only now?" asks Dash.- Mr Baxter, next time raise your hand and wait for me to give you the floor. Go ahead Miss.
- I was fed up with lessons at home and I needed to be with people my own age rather than with adults. It took a lot of persuading to convince my father to come and study at the lycée.
- All right, miss, go and sit in the back on the free seat. The teenager complies. Today you're going to take a test on the book you have to read today. You, Miss Masters, are excused.
- What's the book, sir?
- Wuthering Heights by Emily Jane Brontë.
- I can take the test, I read it a few weeks ago. The ghost writer forced him to read all the French and English classics Vlad had in his library.
- If you say so.
She passed the test with flying colours, much to her teacher's surprise.
At midday, she sat down alone at a table and ate the meal prepared for her by Lunch Lady Ghost. She is soon joined by the A-listers.
- What can I do for you? She barely looks up at them.
- What's in it for me?
- You'll be popular, you'll be with the best and you'll be at the top of the chain.
- Prove yourself to me within the week and I'll give you my answer on Friday.
During the week, the popular group tried to show their good side and she ended up joining them.
Daniella can feel Shadow guarding her and keeping her two former best friends at bay. She sighs. She can't blame her new protective family.
--
Since I'd made that wish my life had changed for the better. I had a family who loved me unconditionally, friends who accepted me as I was with my two parts. I asked Desiree to give them back the real memories. They apologised for their mistreatment. I told them all was forgiven. Even though I was against it, they intimidated my old friends, during those times I always slipped away and I had one of the girls from the group with me.
I was going to be queen of the ghosts when I was twenty-one. Their betrayal always hurt, the more time passed, the more I managed to move on and overcome that pain. If I had to start all over again? I wouldn't change a thing. My life is perfect the way it is, despite everything I've been through.
