BROKEN

Chapter One

...

Danny yelped as the alarm clock went off and hurried to turn it off. He laid in his staring at the ceiling, thinking for a minute. Wasn't it Saturday today? Then he turned to read his clock.

7:00 AM

He flipped to his back once again. Why did he set his alarm clock? Maybe he just forgot to turn it off last night. Danny groaned as he got up, he decided to get up because he couldn't seem to get back to sleep. Now that was something new. Slowly he got dressed, still in the half asleep mode, then he fixed his hair with his hands and walked down stairs.

The surprising part was: that Jazz was up as well.

Danny walked down the creaky stairs, "'Morning." He greeted his sister.

"Good morning, Danny," She paused. "Wait why are you up?" Jazz asked.

"Donno," Danny shrugged as he got some fresh milk from the fridge, "Ask the alarm clock."

"Well what did it do you this time?" Jazz asked with a sarcastic tone.

"I guess I forgot to turn it off," Danny admitted and got a bowl for his cereal, "What were you doing up?"

"I'm usually up at this time every day, reading," Jazz told him and got up to get herself some cereal.

"Even on the weekends?" Danny asked in disbelief.

"Even on the weekends," Jazz confirmed as she poured milk into her bowl of cereal.

"But weekends are for sleeping in."

"Not for me."

"You have problems."

"Says the boy with the ghost powers."

Danny shot her a warning glare and started to eat his cereal. The same went for Jazz, but while she was eating she read at the same time. When Danny saw her getting out the book he rolled his eyes. Usually if he had time to eat in the morning he'd like to look around and kind of drift to his own world. And that happened today.

…

Skulker zoomed to building to building, trying to find a hiding place where he could be visible and not invisible. Once he found one near the Fenton's home he got out his gear that he had brought with him. He brought out a green, blue, and silver gun from his suit and placed it on the roof he was on. Skulker smiled evilly as he stared at the gun.

"I'm going to get you this time Ghost child," Skulker promised. "And you will be gone, soon I'll have you."

He looked at his gun and back at the house, through the window he saw Danny walking around. Seeing that he was talking to someone, Skulker picked up his gun and got it read for shooting position.

"Come on out Ghost Child," Skulker whispered, "I cannot be seen."

…

Danny had finished his cereal first and plopped the bowl and spoon in the sink. He turned around to see Jazz mostly reading and not really eating. She held the spoon and would move it a little every few seconds, but then would stop to read some more. Danny sighed and looked up the stairs, his parent's door was still close, and his parents were still asleep. He turned back, "I am going to see if Sam and Tucker are awake, 'cause I am going to die of boredom if I don't find something quick."

Jazz looked up from her book, "You can't die of boredom Danny. But you can go see if your friends are awake."

"Alright then," Danny said and walked back to his room to find his cell phone. Once he got there he went over to get his phone but paused as his eyes caught something. It was bright.

He walked over to where it was and looked around to see what was causing it to shine. It was one of those things where the mirror or something that has a reflection thing and when the sun hits it, it makes a shiny, bright thing. Danny looked out the window and tried to find it. He couldn't see anything, and the shine was gone when he had looked out.

Danny shrugged and went back to get his phone. The first call was Tucker's house. After four rings someone picked up the phone.

"Hello?" The person on the phone asked groggily.

"Hey Tucker," Danny greeted, "I just wanted to see if you were awake."

There was a soft groan on the other line. "Well I am now, what do you need?"

"Um, well to see if you wanted to go someplace to hang out,"

"At 7:30 in the morning?" Tucker asked in disbelief. "Why aren't you sleeping in?"

"It's a long story," Danny admitted, "But then what time?"

"Let's say 8:30, okay?" Tucker moaned. "I'm sure Sam will be up by then too."

"Let's plan that."

"Kay, bye. See you later."

"You too."

Danny hung up the phone and put it back on the table stand he had for his alarm clock. He turned around and the bright thing was back. Was someone spying on him? Danny walked slowly over to it and quickly looked at the window, sadly he saw nothing. And that was the same for the bright thing, it was gone as well. He groaned and decided to walk down stairs. Then he stopped, maybe he could for a little flight around the town.

He transformed to his Danny Phantom ego and got ready for takeoff when he heard his mother's voice, "Danny! Come down stairs, we need to talk to you!"

"Uh, okay I'll be down in a second!" Danny said quickly and turned back to his human half.

When he got down there he saw Jazz, still reading her book, and Jack on the couch by her eating some fudge. Not thinking about it, Danny asked, "Okay seriously who eats fudge at 7 in the morning?"

"7:45," Jazz corrected not taking her eyes off of the book.

"Whatever." Danny said with a roll of his eyes and took a seat by his sister.

Maddie walked over from the kitchen and took a seat in a chair across from them. Everyone on the couch looked at her, even Jazz, and waited for something.

"First off," Maddie began, "Happy birthday Danny… well tomorrow."

Danny's eyes widen, "I forgot it was my birthday tomorrow."

"Who forgets their birthday?" Maddie asked with a small chuckle.

Everyone raised their hand. It was hard in that house, since there is so much going on there. They'd forget special things. Maddie glared at them and everyone slowly put their hand down. Danny got up and stared at the wall, it was the bright thing again. He walked over to the wall and looked around, but the strange thing was, it was the same exact one from his room. He could tell from the shape, it was a perfect circle with a small dent on the top.

Danny put his hand on the wall where the bright thing was, now it was on his hand, but wavy. "Why is this thing following me?"

"Danny, what are you doing?" Jazz asked.

Danny turned around and saw that everyone was looking at him strangely. He looked at the thing on the wall and asked, "Do you guys see that?"

Everyone looked to where Danny was pointing, they all stared at it for a minute then everyone shook their heads.

Danny groaned and before he could say anything jazz interrupted him, "Wait I see something."

"You do?" Danny asked as joy rose inside of him, proving that he wasn't crazy.

"Yeah," Jazz said, "I see you by the wall."

Danny frowned. "Come one, seriously, no one sees the bright circle thing on the wall? It's been following me ever since I went upstairs to get my phone."

"Well maybe it's your phone," Jack shrugged.

"I don't have it right now." Danny pointed out. He looked at the wall and the circle was gone. "That's strange, it's gone again."

"Perfect," Jazz said sarcastically, "Now you can go pretend there were more circle on the wall."

"But I am serious I saw it in my room and now here, but it's gone for now, this thing is starting to creep me out." Danny told them. "And you think I'm making this up?"

"Yes," Everyone said in unison.

"Lovely," Danny muttered as he took his seat again.

Right when he took he seat, there was a loud bang then a crash. Everyone covered their heads and fell to their knees. Danny closed his eyes and opened it again. He grew a tad angry, but enough that his eyes turned green. When everyone was sure that everything was over Jazz looked over at him and pointed at her eyes.

Danny was confused for a minute, but at the same time his eyes went back to blue. Everyone got to their feet and saw that the window had broken, they looked down and right by Danny's feet was a silver, blue bullet.

…

Good start? Bad? Hate it? Tell me if I should continue or not!
