I do not own Danny Phantom or any related characters. They belong to Butch Hartman and Butch Hartman alone! Though I wish I owned Danny . . .

Prologue: The Runaway Girl

A blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl ran down the lonely streets of Amity Park, the moon her only light to guide her way. She wasn't going to stop running for anything, not even to catch her breath. In fear, the girl glanced over her shoulder, discovering a red-eyed caped menace flying after her. The girl pumped her long legs though they were giving out due to the distance she had run.

"Come back here, girl! I'm not finished with you yet!" the venomous voice of the menace snarled. The young fourteen-year-old girl glared at him as she continued to sprint and stuck her tongue out teasingly.

"Why don't you come and get me yourself!" she taunted, grinning and switching her focus to the street before her.

The man examined her carefully and assumed that she'd die on the sidewalk anyway. No one was going to help an injured teenager on the side of the road. The man smiled, revealing his vampire fangs, before soaring away and leaving the girl behind…though he didn't realize that he had left her on the steps of Fenton Works…
