110Hello! And yes, I have started another story. I have no idea why I do this, I just keep stressing myself out. I guess I just enjoy it too much.
Oh, well. I hope you like it!
I do not own Danny Phantom or X-Men: Evolution.
Enjoy!
A ten year old boy with black hair and blue eyes peeked his head out from inside a tent. It was the middle of the night and his parents and sister were fast asleep. But the boy had heard a sound and he wanted to see what it was.
He slowly made his way across the clearing were the charcoaled remains of the fire sat. He crept past the RV and made his way into the woods around him. He could hear the strange sound ahead of him. As he carried on the noise got louder and louder until he stumbled upon another clearing. Then he realised what the sound was. It was a bear. The beast laid eyes on the boy and started to move towards him. The boy grew scared and tried to run but tripped over a stone, landing flat on the ground. He turned around to see the bear above him.
And then something kicked in. Suddenly the boy could hear everything going on around him clearer, he could see as if it were day, he could even smell the charred wood from his family fire. The boy looked down to see his body growing red fur. He started to panic but the sight of the strange boy seemed to have slowed the bear down. The ten year old got to his feet as fast as he could and fled.
As he ran he started to feel smaller. Then he hunched over and his hands hit the ground. Though they weren't hands any more. He stopped and looked at himself. Red fur, white paws, bushy red tail with a white tip. He was a fox? His head shot up. He could smell the bear. It was getting closer. He raced through the forest and came across another fox. The fox made a low noise in the back of it's throat and somehow the boy knew it wanted him to follow it.
The two foxes made their way through the forest to a small whole in the ground. The fox jumped down and the ten year old followed. Inside was another fox, who the boy knew to be female, and three babies. They all crouched down in the hole until the bear was long gone.
The boy looked to his new friends, grateful. He then made his way back to the clearing. As he drew closer he began walking on two feet again and crawled back into bed as if nothing had happened.
The woman woke up to see the sun creeping in through the tent opening. She looked to her sleeping husband and smiled. Her daughter was the same. And her son... was gone!
She quietly snook out of the tent, not wanting to wake her husband and daughter. As she looked outside she heard a child's laugh. Turning her head she saw her little boy playing with a fox.
A fourteen year old boy stood holding up a white hazmat suit with black accents on the hands and feet. His African-American friend stood watching as a Goth girl dressed all in black held up a camera.
"Smile!" His friend took the picture as he stood infront of his parents ghost portal.
"Ok, I showed you the portal. Can we get out of here now? My parent's could be back any second. Besides, they say it doesn't work anyway."
"Come on, Danny!" the girl replied. "A ghost zone! Aren't you a little curious?"
"You know what?" Danny said his face perking up a little. "You're right, Sam. Who knows what kind of awesome things lie on the other side of that portal!" He stepped into the suit and zipped it up. Just as he was about to step through, Sam placed her hand on his chest and ripped off a sticker of his dad's face.
"You can't go wandering around with that on your chest." He smiled before turning towards the portal and stepping inside. As he walked through he leant on the side of the machine. But his hand fell on the 'on' switch his dad had foolishly placed on the inside and forgotten about. The portal hummed to life and Danny was caught in the middle of it, green ecto-plasmic energy electrocuting him. He screamed as the shock changed him forever.
The white haired, green eyed ghost hero said goodbye to his friends as he headed home after an almost all-nighter fighting ghosts. He phased through the wall into his bedroom and was about to revert back to his human half when he suddenly fell to the ground and his vision went black.
The ghost boy woke up and tried to move bit couldn't. He was strapped to a table. He looked around and noticed he was in his parent's lab.
"What's going on?" he asked confused.
"Ah, Ghost Boy!" a voice said from behind him. His eyes widened as his mother stepped forwards. "You're finally awake."
"W-w-what's g-going on?" he stuttered.
"You're going to tell me what you've done with my son," she said looking at him with a cold stare.
"What are you talking about?" he said. "I havn't done anything to him!"
"Liar!" she said. "He goes missing and then you show up in his room. I'm not stupid. Now what did you do with my son?" His eyes darted around nervously. He tried to phase through the straps but he was shocked. "Good luck getting out of there, Ghost Boy," she said with laugh. "Now, where is my son?"
"Look, I haven't done anything to your son!" The boy yelled. He took a deep breath and reverted back to his fifteen year old human half. "I am your son. Mom, it's me, Danny!" He saw the surprise in her eyes and his heart swelled with hope. But then they filled with hate again.
"Stop pretending to be my son!" It hurt that she didn't know it was really him and tears started to prick his eyes and sting his cheeks. "I'm not pretending. How can I? I can't use my powers with these straps on. Mom, why can't you see it's me?" His sobbing grew louder as he spoke quieter.
"You ghosts are always working on new tricks," she replied. He looked up into her eyes and knew that she was never going to believe it was him.
With tears in his eyes he morphed into his fox form, it was small enough to slip between the straps. He leapt down from the table and became human again. He turned around to see recognition flash across his mother's face. She now knew him to be her son. The recognition quickly melted into horror and another tear rolled down the boy's face. He wiped it away and smiled. He waved goodbye before changing into his fox form and racing up the stairs.
A big man in an orange jump suit walked towards his basement just as a small red and white fox came racing out and fled through his kitchen towards the front door. He tried to follow it but he didn't see where it went. He headed down to his lab to ask his wife.
"Honey, why did a fox just run through the house? Was it a ghost?!" After hearing no reply he looked towards his wife and saw her frozen in place, staring at the door, her face a mixture of horror and hurt.
In a forest a few miles away from Amity Park, wind rustled through leaves. Birds cooed in the treetops. Animals scurried searching for food. A lone fox wandered around looking for a place to stay, a place to live, a place to call home. A place to belong.
So that was the first chapter. Really excited about this story. I'm making Danny a little different to how he is in my other stories.
I have no idea how regular I'll be so sorry in advance.
Anyway, please follow, favourite and review!
Until next time!
