Ugh. I got writer's block in all of my other stories. So I decided to make another story. Dani-centric this time, since there really are NOT enough of those. Plus it's Artemis Fowl, and those... are minimal. There are only four and none have been updated any recent time at all. So now I'm making one. Yay! Yes, this time my stories may suffer a little, but hey. Writer's block is more to blame than this story. Also, it is all in Dani's POV, so it will move along faster than the book.
Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom, Dani Phantom, or Artemis Fowl.
Chapter One
Summer in Ho Chi Minh City. Sweltering when you weren't used to a steady seventy-eight degree body temperature. Dani was traveling again, and at the moment she was sweating a lot. In the time since Danny stabilized her, she had gained ice powers. She had no Ghostly Wail, but instead, she could do the equivalent of that in ice form. Like an Icy Wail instead. It froze everything it touched, and then half the time shattered it. She cooled the air around her and relaxed slightly. Too warm, and she got majorly dehydrated. And for her, too warm was about eighty degrees. Not good.
She caught sight of a tall man beside a boy. She took no notice of them, though. Little did she know how significant they would be later on.
A few hours floating around exercising her ice powers to keep herself cool, and that was all it took for her to decide that this place was not for a ghost. Especially a ghost that had ice powers, and therefore a low body temperature, even for a ghost. Sweating profusely, she flew off, deciding on Ireland as her next destination. It would be fine there. Ireland wasn't likely to boil her ectoplasm. Or blood, once she was in human form again.
Dani was not a usual ghost. Or a usual human. Or even a usual halfa. She was half ghost, half human - a halfa - and not only that, but she was a clone. She still felt like her own person, but she was painfully aware of the fact. Not to mention, some ghosts liked to take a break from fighting Danny and tracked her down instead. Why they bothered, she didn't know. She did know that Walker had decided that she had broken a couple of his stupid rules. She didn't even remember what they were now.
Once in Ireland, she just wandered around for a while, seeing sights and just enjoying the area. She did settle down a little, if only to eat. She was doing odd jobs for random people so that she wouldn't have to steal to eat. She loathed the times she had to. A few months later, she was relaxing under a tree, in ghost form. She should be safe here - she had seen two fields, a stile, and a bog on the way here overland. She was hardly likely to be found.
She was startled as someone short landed and hung up a set of high-tech equipment in front of her. The short humanoid had not noticed her, and she became invisible, but stayed there. She was curious. She just hoped curiosity wouldn't hurt in this case.
The humanoid took off her helmet and massaged the pointed tips of her ears. Pointed? Apparently her first impression was right - humanoid, yes. Human, no. At least it wasn't a ghost. Her ghost sense would have gone off.
The figure bent down. Even in the dark Dani could see, as she had night vision. One of the good things about being part ghost. The figure brushed away some dried leaves and picked up and acorn. Right after she bent, Dani's vision swam as she felt a piercing pain in her arm. She looked down and saw a dart stuck there. She lost invisibility. Dropping to her hands and knees (when had she stood up?), she felt herself sinking into unconsciousness. The humanoid was looking at her, as were two figures that had just appeared from seemingly nowhere. She was panting for breath, struggling to stay awake, to stay in ghost form, but her attempts were futile. She blacked out as two rings appeared around her waist, moving up and down and changing her back into human form.
Yeah, I do realize I skipped a lot. Most of that was stuff that I didn't need Dani to know, so I just skipped it. Plus there was no reasonable excuse for her to know. Anyway, R&R!
