Chapter 6
Another piece! i look forward to people their reactions :3
-----------------------------------
Your body shook awake, gasping for air. A hand was holding your throat, which was actually your own, you reached up in attempt to find release, to grasp some air. It was like there was a knife in your throat blocking any air that should go in or out. Squirming on the bed you suddenly felt two warm hands on your shoulders and in the distance there was a vague voice. Gasping for air, half choking on it as your hands were held down. Suddenly the air rushed into your longs, your breath fast and ragged and your eyes moving from side to side frantically trying to see through the darkness.
"(y/n)! .. (y/n)! wake up, oh god this isn't good. Call someone!" You heard in the distance. Suddenly you felt the ground under your back disappearing, at first it made you panic more and squirm but after just a few seconds a calm flowed over your body. The wind gently caressing your face and filling up your longs. Slowly the black crawled out of your vision and you saw three really worried faces. A sheepish smile appeared on your lips. "Sorry guys, that must have been scary, huh?" you said softly, still feeling the pain in your throat. "For us? Dude it was like you were dying!" Tucker said frantic. Sam glared at Tucker for sounding so panicked. "We were worried that you choked yourself or something" Danny said calmly, but his eyes betrayed his panic.
You looked past them to see where you were, your head was out of the window while your body was held up by the three friends. The cool breeze flowed through your pyjama's creating a shiver over your body. "I'm sorry. It hasn't happened in a long time so I thought I would be fine.. Can you put me down?" you questioned calmly. Your body was like the silence after a storm. They nodded and slowly put you on the soft carpet. Taking in a deep breath you looked up at them. "You probs want to know what happened" you said softly, not really wanting to tell them your whole past. A little, a little couldn't hurt though. "That would be appreciated" Tucker said. "But if you don't want to it's okay as well. Just tell us what to do when it happens again" Danny said glaring at Tucker who held his hands up defensively. You nodded and signalled for them to sit down.
You took a moment to enjoy the calm in your body before you spoke. "I never remember my dreams, or rather, nightmares. All I know is sometimes they get so bad that my body works against me. When that happens I need something cold and favourably fresh air" you explained, glad that it could be done without saying the nightmares were related to the experiments done on you. Sam looked thoughtful before she spoke, "ever been to a doctor for it? It could be life threatening if someone isn't close by" she said worried. You shook your head. "I have a fear of hospitals, when I see the interior I will begin hyperventilating and my body will go into a panicked frenzy. Besides, I had this attack once when I was alone and I survived" you gave a forced smile. Danny put a hand on your shoulder and frowned, "don't smile when you can't. Not with us at least" he gave a gently sympathetic smile.
Your smile faltered and you rubbed your tearless eyes. Unable to cry it was a reflex, somehow it was like your body still wanted to cry even though you couldn't. "O-okay... sorry I kind of ruined the party" you stuttered. The three looked at each other before they surrounded you with a group hug. "It's fine. Besides, we got to see a new side of you" Sam said while caring your back gently as if she was comforting a child. You gave a hearty chuckle and stayed like that for a while, finding comfort in their warmth. After 15 minutes you stopped shaking, which you hadn't noticed you did, until you stopped, and the three let go. "So, who is in for some pancakes and waffles!" Sam cheered. The rest, including you following the example of a cheer.
Breakfast was peaceful and delicious. After you all said goodbye at the door you walked with Danny to your house. After a long silence, taking you halfway to the house Danny spoke. "Are you alright?" he questioned. You looked surprised up at him, "yeah, why?" "You seem nervous" he stated meeting your eyes. His icy blue orbs were piercing, as if they looked into your soul. You shook off the thought and shrugged, "I've never brought anyone home. My parents are always out of town so it's only me and my brother" you explained. "Oh, what do your parents do?" Danny questioned, "Our mother is an archaeologist and our father is a writer who is never able to write in a known surrounding" you chuckled at the made up characters who were your parents. Danny seemed to have bought the lie and looked sympathetic, "must be harsh". You shook your head and gave a broad smile, "my brother is plenty". Danny smiled back but there was something in his expression that bugged your mind. There was a hint of doubt, did he see through your acting? No, he couldn't... Right?
There was another silence were both of you just walked, Danny following your lead. Just 20 meters before your house Danny glanced at you and sighed, "(y/n)?" he questioned as he stopped. You stopped and turned to face him, tilting your head in confusion. "Yes?" "How..." he shook his head and seemed to search for the right way to tell what he had to tell. You waited patiently, expecting the worst. He couldn't have discovered your identity, neither of your brother. That was simply impossible. It was probably- "How come you knew the stuff on my homework was green?" he asked. 'The dog incident, maybe I shouldn't have said it' you thought. "What do you mean?" you questioned, trying to avoid the subject. It was fun to see him surprised like yesterday but it cost information which made him closer to who you were. It was a dangerous game, but you felt like playing.
A game of everything or nothing. Either you will gain friends and a life, or you will have to abandon it all. "Don't play dumb. You called it dog saliva, as far as I know you haven't seen that homework in the state you claimed it to be" Danny said with a slightly annoyed voice. A sickening sweet smile crept upon your face, a feeling of fluttering in your gut made itself up to your chest. "Your parents own a portal right? A dog came out of it and literally ate you homework" you stated simply. Danny, slightly creeped out by your blunt statement, looked a bit panicked. You could see in his eyes what he thought, 'does she know?'.
He is a friend right? You shouldn't smile like that.
Your smile faltered and your eyes cast down. "Sorry, I don't know what came over me...." you looked up. Danny seemed to calm down as your features looked normal again. There was a short awkward silence. "Say... I won't tell anyone. Sam and Tucker do know right?" you questioned. Danny paused for a moment and nodded, "they know about the ghost dog" he said, relieve filling his eyes.
He isn't ready to tell me.....
You smiled and continued to walk again. "Sorry, I must be really weird compared to others" you sighed, cursing yourself for the odd behaviour that came natural. "Yeah, but that's fine. We all are a bit weird, it makes us interesting" Danny chuckled. You looked up and smiled, "Guess so".
You knocked twice before you opened the door with a key. Danny looked confused, "if you open it why would you knock?" he questioned curiously. You shrugged, "brother wants me to" you stated simply before putting of your shoes. Danny followed your example and walked behind as you walked to your room. "Where is he then?" Danny questioned. His parents were usually noisy, as soon as they noticed that he had friends with them they always came to greet them, especially when they had something new to show.
"He's probably in his study or something" you shrugged. When the door to your room opened Danny took his time to look around the plain room. "It's not that interesting right?" you chuckled. There was a tall filled bookcase covering the left wall while the bed was placed a meter from. Against the right wall was a desk with a computer on it and next to it was a large window. "Just sit anywhere, I'm going to find the homework" you announced walking over to the bookcase and searched through them.
You actually knew where they were, but something inside didn't want to part with Danny yet. Though the max of stretching his stay was 10 minutes. After that you found the homework and handed it to him. "you can give it back on Monday" you smiled. Danny beamed as he got the work in his hands. "Thanks! This will make my week so much easier!" he said. You chuckled, "with the ghost hunting and such".
Danny paused and stared dumbfounded at you. Suddenly the realisation came to you and your eyes widened. 'Foxnuggets! Did I just seriously slip up so easy!? Stupid!!' you mentally yelled at yourself. "Did you just.. (y/n) what is really going on? Why do you know about that and about the ghost dog incident?" Danny frowned putting the homework down. You could see through his frowny layer. There was fear in his eyes. The fear you knew all too well.
With a sigh you sat down and looked at him. "I made stupid slip up. I was waiting for you to tell me..." you said casting your eyes down. There fell a silence.
"So you know? Say it clearly" Danny stated dumbfounded. He probably doesn't know for certain that it is with his ghost powers, since his parents are ghost HUNTERS. 'But what do I gain from lying? Guilt, I think the feeling is called guilt'. "Danny Fenton, I know you are the hero of amity park, you are Danny Phantom... seriously couldn't you find a better alias? Next to that, don't you think I would notice that you run off every time a ghost appears? Then magically Danny Phantom appears to save the day" you said turning to Danny with a sigh. "I- well.. I uhm.... When did you realize?" he questioned, his muscles still tense like a cornered animal. "a week ago the wheels began spinning in my head and everything made sense if you were Danny Phantom" you said, "I promise I won't tell anyone though" you smiled. That seemed to relax Danny a little. "Sorry that I kept it secret, even though you are with us for so long and such" he said, the last tense muscles in his body relaxing. "It's fine, I would have done the same" you said. 'I am doing the same'.
Danny gave an awkward smile as he picked up the homework. "Thanks again for the homework" he said as he stood up. You nodded and followed him to the door. "If there is anything you don't understand just tell me" you smiled. He returned it and waved you goodbye.
"Foolish move don't you think?" you turned around to see your brother floating in the hallway. Closing the door behind you, a sigh escaped your lips, "foolish, yes. But fools live, they don't merely survive, they actually live" you said, staring right back at your brother. He looked down on you with stern eyes but it didn't take long for them to turn soft. "Just be careful okay? If anything happens, you come to me" he said as he floated over and petted your head. Your own frown slowly disappeared and you nodded. "Sorry I make problems" you mumbled, slightly regretting your decisions. Luciel shrugged, "I am just glad you are living and making your own decisions" he said. You looked up and smiled, "Thanks Luciel".
