Chapter 6 – Answers

Danny gritted his teeth in frustration.

I cant stop thinking about that stupid dream!

It wasnt stupid. I dont know about the others, but it seemed as if Sam was trying to tell you something.

Tell me what? Im closer than you think? What is that supposed to mean?

That she is closer to you than you think.

Besides the obvious.

She seemed fairly straightforward.

Not really.

Pay attention to what is in front of you.

No, I dont think thats what she- Ooof!

He ran, okay, flew, headlong into a billboard. He phased through it.

He had been patrolling Amity Park for hours, in the same perfunctory fashion he had used a decade ago, but without the extra help.

Vlad said Pariah was looking for me. I need to find some sign of his coming.

Like what? The Fright Knight? Some walking skeletons?

Uh yeah.

Pitiful. Valerie knows more about Pariahs coming that you do.

Of course. Shes actually been here for the past- Wait, what?

Oops.

What are you talking about?

He got no answer. Angry this time, Danny repeated, What have you been hiding from me?

Wraith seemed to wince. She spoke in a very small voice.

Pariah Dark and his hordes have been here for three years. Waiting for you.

AND YOU DIDNT TELL ME?!

Umm no.

What more do you know? Danny asked, a little hurt that she hadnt told him sooner.

A lot more than you think.

Danny took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

Would you kindly tell me all that you know?

Wraith sighed in his mind. I guess I have to. But- You know what? I am so tired of communicating like this. Im outta here.

Wait- No! Im sorry if I made you mad. Please dont go.

Thats not what I meant. Just go back home.

Puzzled, he flew back to FentonWorks.

Can you spare energy? Like, a good amount of it?

The inquiry took him by surprise.

Hmmm?

Ecto-energy. Can- no, may I drain some of your ecto-energy?

Umm… sure. Why?

Energy now. Answers later.

Okay, okay! But how are you planning to do this?

He was still Phantom.

You might want to sit down. And stay still! You may feel a little weak, I dont know, Ive never done this before.

Than how do I know it wont kill me?

Just trust me. Seriously, youve experienced worse.

Danny sat down and slowly closed his eyes. He leaned back, and braced himself, gripping the edges of the couch.

A little weak? That was nothing compared to the massive power drainage that occurred. It was as if he was a battery that wasnt meant to support something that large.

He moaned, and, dazed, reverted back to his human state.

Understatement, much?

Sorry, said a feminine voice from in front of him.

To his now very tired mind, he couldnt tell that word was spoken, as opposed to in his head.

So tired.

Sleep, said the soothing voice. Get your energy back. We have a long chat ahead of us.

Danny groaned and reluctantly opened his eyes.

Jeez, Wraith, how long was I out?

A few hours. Its six pm, came the voice, behind him.

He twisted in his seat, brow furrowing. Who are- Wraith? His eyes widened.

What? the female ghost in front of him asked, her voice lightly echoing.

She tucked a loose strand of midnight colored hair behind her ear. Her eyes, so dark a crimson they were almost black, gazed at him, her eyebrows lifted a fraction. Her skin tight crimson belly shirt was partially covered by a half-zipped black hoodie. Black cargo parts and crimson-and-black boots covered her lower half. She was very pale, and slim. She seemed to be surrounded by a dark glow that leeched the light from all around her.

She caught him staring.

What? she repeated irritably.

Youre a ghost? Danny asked dumbly.

Of course. Clueless, much?

How- When-

Hold your horses, cowboy. Stay there. Ill start from the beginning.

Danny nodded.

But where is the beginning? she mused.

Wraith looked up at the ceiling thoughtfully, and began.

Ive been stuck here in Amity Park for as long as I can remember. I havent had enough power to manifest myself or leave the town. I had to siphon off energy from passing living things to survive. I was very bored, after the first few years. I tried to leave. I hid in the minds of animals, hoping to get past the city limit. But I couldnt. Every time the animal, be it a squirrel, rabbit, bird, got close to the boundary, and strange terror filled its mind. Through its mind, mine, too. It would flee, me with it. I couldnt seem to bring myself to leave. Then, something happened.

Danny interrupted. What? What happened?

You came.

What do I have to do with it?

She glared at him. He looked up with an apologetic grin on his face, but closed his mouth, submissive.

You, whether you know it or not, are an amazing source of power. So much energy manifests in you that it radiates off of your being. Thats what makes you so easy to sense. Most ghosts can find you simply by seeking out the largest power source. Youre that strong.

Danny looked like he wanted to say something, but held it back.

When you wandered into town, I had enough power to semi-manifest myself in your mind. Kind of like a second conscience. But, talking to you that way is annoying, and it is so much easier to talk face-to-face. I realized that if I could get enough energy from you, I could truly materialize. It was really quite simple, really. All I had to do was use the same siphoning trick I had used on others, but use it on a higher scale. Sorry I made you pass out. It couldnt be helped.

Danny took all of this, but wanted to get to the point.

Okay, I kind of get all of this, but youre beating around the bush. What does this all have to do with Pariah Dark?

Wraith gave him a long, piercing gaze, and asked quietly,

Do you really want to know?

He though a moment. Did he really want to know? It wasnt really his business. He could just leave.

No, he then thought. It is my business. The ghost king is here for me.

I can still hear you, you know.

Danny than said, Yes.

Her face was a little sad now, but also angry?

Pariah has had a tight grip on this town for the past three years, as I said. Most of the people dont know it. While his grip is tight, it is also very, very stealthy. Only a few, like Valerie, know that he is here and oppose him. Valerie is the leader of the Resistance. The ghost king enforces a curfew. It was easy for him. He simply had his officials overshadow enough of the leaders of Amity Park to vote on the curfew. The people think its just paranoia. Pariahs troops invisibly patrol the town every night.

Her face grew angry.

But that is not the worst. Pariah has been killing off some of the people.

What!? Danny exclaimed, leaping up from the couch. He sank back down, clutching his head. He was still a little dizzy.

Pariah had been killing off those who he thinks will make good officers in his army. If they have a particular talent he deems useful, he has his skeletons kidnap them. He has invented a way of making sure that they become ghosts.

Danny was furious. If theyre ghosts, why dont they fight back?

Think, Danny! she retaliated. Most of them are new ghosts. They arent strong enough to oppose him. The consequences are horrible for rebellion.

What about Valerie?

Oh, he would love to get a hold of Valerie and her little resistance. He imagines that, in time, she would make a fierce general.

Why didnt she mention it?

The same reason she let you go. She has changed since you left, as well as most of the people you once knew. Valerie, for one, had grown harder, stronger, but also more understanding. I imagine that she wanted you not to worry for a few days. She would have told you after a while.

Seeing the expression on his face, she said, I can see you need some time. Call me if you need me.

At the last few words, Wraith faded from view.

So- whatcha think? Please review!
