Then*
Danny was doing his normal run of the mill clean up with the escaped ghosts that were now terrorizing Amity Park.
After rounding up what Danny had thought was the last escaped ghost.
He heard a woman's scream in the distance, which sounded like it had came from one of these abandoned buildings near by.
This part of town was heavily neglected.
Fences and broken caution surrounded this area.
All of which never really stopped anyone from exploring this sectioned off part of town.
The buildings had started being demolished but had stopped abruptly due to the area being deemed to hazardous for even the shady corner cutting demolition crews.
Everything that was still standing was bleak and brittle.
An area that was once full of hope was now a hollow shell of its former self.
Danny took to the sky for a better vantage point trying to better assess where she could be but with no one in sight around the buildings, He began to investigate the cry for help on foot.
The soft sound of the glass and debris crunching under my feet with every step.
Danny paused and stood still for a moment, feeling useless as he desperately searched for any sign that she could be near.
As He began to depart the area,
Danny heard something clatter in the building, directly in front of him.
He slowly made my way to the entrance of the building.
As he continued through the building,
A disgustingly foul smell lingered in the air, like rotten eggs mixed with a strong smell of iron.
His stomach felt like it was doing flips and his nostrils were burning with this aroma.
He did his best to push the smell out of his mind and keep tunnel vison on the task at hand.
Unable to even see a few feet in front of himself, Danny used his ghost ray light a flashlight illuminating the darkness.
As he shined the light around he could see bits of torn clothing and dried blood splattered high on the walls like something you would see in a slasher film.
Hello? Everything's going to be ok. I'm here to help, Danny called out.
At this point, uncertain if I'm trying to comfort them or me He thought.
But nonetheless, Danny was left alone to the eerie sounds of the cold breeze, making its way through the gaps and cracks in the broken windows.
Now*
Sitting on the edge of the bed, in deep thought of what's next..What will await me after my senior year? Danny thought.
"Danny?" A voice calls his name from down stairs
Still frozen in deep thought, he doesn't move. His eyes fixated on this scar.
"Kakuhou..." Danny muttered.
This word is the only thing that I have to go on to bring myself closer to some answers. He thought.
"Danny!" (Jack) Danny's father called from the living room.
Snapping me back to reality, Danny stood up and began to make his way to the bedroom door. With a heavy sigh Danny opened the door and headed downstairs.
Dinners had gotten awkward since the surgery, every meal tasted awful.
Actually the only thing that Danny still enjoyed was coffee.
Everyone gathered around the table for their meal.
Jasmine, Maddie (Mom) And Danny's dad all exchanged fake smiles.
You know the ones you put on for passing strangers. Hoping it eases any discomfort as you cross paths.
They sat down at the dinner table and began to dig in.
Danny had tried to just have coffee and opt out of dinner but his mother insisted.
So he took the plate and stared deeply at the food. All my favorites...He thought to himself.
Danny began to eat the food chasing every bite with coffee. Now feeling nauseous he excused himself and proceeded expel the contents of his stomach.
After cleaning himself up Danny walked back to the kitchen, just in time to see the headline for the locals news.
Across the bottom of the screen, it read, "Masked assailants strike Axion Labs again... Multiple security guard's bodies mangled beyond recognition...Bites taken out of the victims..CCG to take over investigation"
Lost in thought again, Danny unknowingly started mumbling. The words "CCG?" slipped from his lips.
Mom must have heard him because she started to break down what they were.
It's the "Commission Of Counter Ghoul." We've never had any ghouls here that I know of. Which is probably why you have never heard of the organization Danny.
Jazz looked at Danny as if on standby to back any excuse he presented to go investigate.
But he avoided her gaze, he hadn't been able to sustain going ghost since the surgery.
Plus this hunger is crippling me he thought.
Still glued to the tv screen the following news segmentate was a little more in depth about ghouls.
"Ghouls can't process human food, in fact eating regular food would soon be followed by a strong urge to vomit"
Danny froze, trying to wrap his head around what he just heard.
Instantly he was in a panic, the blood pounded in his ears and his hands were trembling.
Unable to face this Danny left and began to walk down the street until he found himself in a alley sobbing.
A Ghoul.. .no..I can't be..I'm just sick..yeah. Danny thought to himself.
Convinced he was over reacting Danny walked to the gas station and grabbed some joke food.
After paying the clerk he walked outside and began to eat the food..but the second the food touched his tongue he hurled.
Danny repeated this process again and again until he found himself completely destroyed from the confirmation that he was in fact a ghoul.
He wandered the town for hours and around midnight decided to head home.
On his way home he had over heard what had sounded like arguing down the alleyway.
Old habits die hard. Danny thought as he somehow found himself unconsciously walking in the direction of the voices.
As he turned the corner he no longer found two people arguing but someone feeding on the bodies.
Danny was stunned he didn't move.
Then*
I found her. Danny thought to himself a woman with long purple hair and red glasses.
She was sobbing in the corner of the building.
He called to her across the building, but she never moved.
when he was within inches of her she looked up and met his gaze, her eyes full pain and regret.
Something Danny knew a lot about.
He extended his hand. Offering to help her out this place and back to safety.
After she was back on her feet, still teary eyed.
He thought if I introduced my self that she would feel a bit more at ease.
He began to speak My name's Danny Phan.."Phantom" She cut him off.
My names Rize and I know who you are Danny.
Shocked by this Danny took a step back.
I've heard about you from news, Your "The Ghost Of Amity Park" said Rize.
Right..he let out a nervous laugh. I forget I'm famous... Well locally he said.
They began to make there way out of the building when he noticed there was what appeared to be blood on her shirt.
Are you hurt? he asked. Pointing towards the blood splatter on her shirt.
She looked up at him and there was a long pause before she spoke.
I..she trailed off. I..the hell with this she said.
In a just a moment her entire persona changed. From a innocent victim to a maniac, with these eyes unlike anything Danny had ever seen. Even in the darkest depths of the ghost zone he had never seen something like this.
Eyes with a striking shade of red and the sclera now was no longer white but entirely pitch black with crimson veins stretching across the eyes and into the surrounding skin.
She began laughing hysterically as she sized up her next meal.
