Remember: A father`s daughter

The pills

One month later

Aria moved restlessly in her sleep, she tossed and turned and quickly held the blanket. She breathed heavily and quickly placed her hand on her scar from the Death reaper`s sword, she groans and felt something burning.

"AGH!" Aria shouted suddenly waking up from her sleep and throwing the blanket onto the ground; Aria breathed heavily as sweat fell from her forehead. She got up and walked towards the bathroom when she felt the burning sensation from before; Aria groan and covered her mouth as she tried to hold back her screams of pain, she didn`t want to wake her parents.

"Aria?" Ember said softly opening the door from their bedroom, "Are you alright?"

"I'm just fine, mom" she lied looking away from her mother, so she wouldn't see her face showing how much in pain she was. Ember frown slightly and closed the door, she walked towards her daughter and gently touched her arm.

"What's the matter? Tell me" Ember said

"It's….. just the scar…" Aria mumbled and sat down against the wall, "It's burning…."

"What?" Ember quickly went down on one knee and lifted Aria's shirt, she touched the scar slightly before Aria pushed her hands away.

"Don't touch it….." Aria groan and lowered her shirt

"Aria! Have you been taking the pills Clockwork gave you?" Ember asked frowning slightly, "You have to take them!"

"I forgot…. To take them" Aria mumbled as she held her side. Ember quickly got up and went to Aria's room, she took the special pills Clockwork had made just for Aria's condition. Aria hated taking the pills but she had too, the pill subdued the Death reaper's sword effects. Clockwork and Rhea remove most the damaged from the sword, but some residue was still inside her body.

"Take them!" Ember said quickly taking two pills and placing them in her hand, "Right now, Aria!"

"Mom….." Aria groans and just took the pills, she couldn't care the pain and immediately felt better once she had taken them. Ember sighed in relief and sat down beside her, she held Aria in her arms and hugged her.

"You have to take your pills, honey," Ember said softly holding her tightly

"Sorry…." Aria mumbled holding her mother's arm slightly

"Clockwork is finding a way... We have to wait" Ember said kissing the top of Aria's head, "Just take your pills"

"I hate this" Aria mumbled and hug her mother, "I thought the sword wouldn't affect me anymore…?"

"Remember what Clockwork said? The Death Reaper sword is an ancient weapon, powerful and dangerous! Clockwork himself knows very little from it"

"Ugh... I know, mom" she said and sighed

"Now come on," Ember said helping Aria up, "It's still early, you should go back to bed"

"Okay," Aria mumbled and walked to her room. Ember smiled and returned to the bedroom, she lay down on the bed and hit Danny's chest to wake him.

"What?!" Danny shouted jumping slightly and looked around.

"Your daughter isn't taking her pills!" Ember said crossing her arms and glaring, "And you didn't even hear her in pain earlier!"

"Ow!" he mumbled rubbing his chest slightly and pout at her, "Wait?! My daughter? Isn't she our daughter?!"

"Don't start!" Ember said rolling her eyes at hum, "Aria is in pain because of the sword"

"There nothing I can do, Ember," Danny said rubbing the back of his neck, "Aria is a teenager"

"I'm not going to have my daughter in pain! Just because her daddy doesn't scold her!" Ember said and glared at him, waiting for Danny to get the point.

"Fine," he said and sighed

The next morning

"Morning Aria!" Danny said sitting down in front of her and poke her head, "Did you sleep well?"

"I guess" she mumbled and yawned

"Danny!" Ember mumbled and moved her eyes slightly while she cooked, "Hm!"

"Right…. So, Ari!" Danny said smiling at her, "Did you take your pills this morning?"

"Not yet" she mumbled yawning slightly

"You have to take them," Danny said and bring the pills closer, "They prevent the residue from the sword to harm you"

"I know, I know," Aria said sighing and taking the bottle, "I'm just scared slightly"

"Why?" he asked

"I don't know….." she mumbled looking away, "I guess it doesn't matter….."

"Everyone scared of something," Danny said taking out two pills for her

"You're not scared of anything, dad," she said taking them with a glass of juice

"Of course, I am!" he said smiling and closing the bottle

"Of what? Mom?" Aria asked raising a brow

"No! I'm not scared of mom!" he said

"Danny! I told you not to drink all of the juice!" Ember shouted and waved a pan at him, "UGH!"

"Okay mom" he said smiling at her as the two laugh quietly

"You're crazy dad! Mom is going to kill you if she hears you!" Aria whispered

"Shush!" Danny placed his finger on his lip and smiled, he messed Aria's hair and got up. "Love you dear!" he shouted and wink at Aria.

"Buy juice!" Ember said glaring at him

"Yes ma'am!" he said saluting before going ghost and flying off. Ember frown slightly and sighed, she gave Aria her breakfast and sat down with her.

"So! What did your father tell you?" she asked leaning closer

"Nothing mom" Aria said eating her eggs

"Hm….." Ember narrowed her eyes slightly and just ate as well. Aria simply ate her breakfast and sighed, she moved her toast around and stared at the pills.

"I'm tired of taking those things" she mumbled

"Aria, you know you have to take them," Ember said sighing slightly

"I know I do! It's just so annoying! Three times a day! Just to make sure I don't drop dead?!" Aria said moving her plate to the side, "I haven't even tried to use my powers since the incident!"

"Your father and I both agree to wait, we don't know if your powers are affected or not," she said holding Aria's hand, "We can try next week?"

"If I don't blow up" she mumbled

"Don't be so negative, Aria," Ember said shaking her head slightly, "And you know I don't like this... Dead talk from you!"

"Okay, okay," she mumbled standing up

"Where are, you going, Ari?" Ember asked watching her leave

"Bathroom" Aria mumbled walking upstairs

"Bathroom" Ember mumbled sighing and looked down slightly; she sighed some more and tried to think. She knew Aria was tired of taking those special pills, but Clockwork hadn't found a way to get rid of the residue from the Reaper's sword.

Pariah's Keep

"Very soon…." Pariah said softly from within his sarcophagus, "Very soon I'll be released from this dam sarcophagus!"

"And then I'll get my revenge Danny Phantom! And what better way to hurt you... Is to hurt your offspring…." Pariah smiled as he anxiously waited for the person to free him, he savoured the excitement of torturing the one who sealed him away.
