I don't own Danny Phantom, only Erin and Jarrett.

Okay, I just wanted to say that this chapter is a little more mushy, but I just couldn't help it. Dan is just so cool. Anyways, enjoy the next chapter with a special appearence from...the BOX GHOST!
-----

Erin sat in the bathroom for another twenty minutes still wrapped in her towel. Her mind was jumping around at all sorts of conclusions she had about Dan and why she continued to protect him.

Another thing that bothered her was the fact that neither she nor Danny had been able to sense him in the house. The last time she could remember her ghost sense no acting up was when she was in the Ghost Zone and she was surrounded by them.

Erin gasped. Could it be because she was close to another halfa? That was a very good possibility. It would make sense.

Sam knocked on the bathroom door, waking Erin up from her thoughts.

“Are you okay in there?” Sam said through the door.

“Yeah,” Erin said standing quickly. “Sorry I was just lost in my thoughts.”

Erin quickly tore off the towel and started dressing in the clothes that Sam had set out for her. There was a black tank that was V-cut and clung to her body tightly with a black mini skirt. Both were plain. Then there was the black stockings and the black tennis shoes that looked more like they were Danny’s than Sam’s.

Erin quickly found a brush and started working on the tangles that had formed in her mostly dry hair. Finally after several minutes of work Erin had her blonde hair shining and flowing past her shoulders.

Erin stared at herself in the mirror. It was a different look, but it was nice. In her old life she would have never worn so much black in an outfit, but now that times had changed it was a welcome relief.

Erin raised her arms and ran her fingers through her hair and then down her neck.

“Ouch,” she said out loud. Erin moved her hair aside and there on the junction where her neck met her shoulder was a small scratch. It didn’t look too bad, but when she touched it she could feel a sharp pain.

“How did I…” Erin remembered now where it had come from. Dan must have scratched her with his fangs while they were in the shower together.

Erin blushed at the memory. It had only happened maybe an hour ago, but it felt like several days had passed. Erin moved her hair back into place, hoping to cover the mark.

Erin closed her eyes and thought about Dan. He had seemed so different while they were together. It was almost like she brought out a different side of him.

Erin ran her hands along her bare arms. She could almost feel Dan’s body pressed up against her own. The idea sent waves of desire through her and she sighed.

“Why am I thinking about him like that?” she said to herself. “He’s the villain. He’s the bad guy. He is the only guy who has ever done this to me.”

Erin groaned. It was the truth. She had had a few lovers in the past but none of them had made her yearn for them after such a short time. What was wrong with her?

Erin sighed and left the bathroom. Now was not the time to dwell on this. She had to help the others and was determined to put Dan and their…encounter in the back of her mind. She had to be strong and not give into these feelings of lust she was feeling toward the highly attractive ghost.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dan sat in the attic of a nearby abandoned building. For some reason he could not force himself to go any farther away from that halfa girl. He had never met anyone like her before, and for some reason she seemed familiar to him.

That morning had been quite a surprise. He had given into his lust for her and then even after he left her he still wanted to be with her.

“Damn that Danny,” he said to himself before he even realized he had thought it.

What was it about this girl that provoked such a response from him? The last time he had felt anything close to this feeling was back when he was still a halfa and he had fallen for his friend Sam.

Dan narrowed his eyes. Was it possible for him to still retain human emotions even though he had given up his human side? If that was true then why hadn’t he cared whether Sam and Tucker lived or died when he fought with his younger self six years ago?

Dan had to ask someone this question and as luck would have it, a familiar box-obsessed ghost flew through the ceiling at that point.

“I am the Box Ghost…Beware!” he said before realizing that this was a very powerful ghost sitting here.

Dan smiled wickedly before grabbing the Box Ghost around the neck.

“Answer my questions and you may have a very happy afterlife.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Erin listened to others as they planned out a way to get Dan to enter the Ghost Zone. Most of them were pretty stupid ideas.

“Maybe we could trick him and then push him into the zone?” Tucker said. Danny shook his head.

“That wouldn’t work. He’s too smart for that.”

“He’s you isn’t he? Can’t you think of any weaknesses he might have?”

Danny shook his head again. “Not a thing comes to mind.”

Erin sighed. She changed into her ghost mode and looked at the others. “I need to get out for a bit. I’ll be back soon.” All this talk about Dan was really messing with her nervous system.

The others were so involved with their conversation that they barely acknowledged that she was leaving. Erin sighed as she went invisible and walked through the wall and out of the house.

She needed to find a place to think. She flew high above the town and watched the people interact. It was different from her own world where she had grown up. If she hadn’t been forced into the Ghost Zone, she would have been married and had children by now.

Erin landed on the rooftop of the school building, Casper High. She started pacing.

After they defeated Dan and then Jarrett, what would be next for her. She couldn’t attend college because it had been over 30 years since she graduated high school. After she went missing she was sure her parents and friends would have thought her dead. She wouldn’t be surprised if they had almost forgotten her by now.

Erin sighed and flopped down on the building and looked up at the blue sky. The clouds looked so peaceful just floating by without a care in the world. Suddenly her ghost sense went off and Erin jumped up looking for danger.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dan had finished his interesting conversation with the Box Ghost. As a child halfa, he hadn’t known much about ghosts, only that most of them were bad and trying to take over his town. Now he knew a little more.

Ghosts did have feelings and emotions, because they started out as humans. Despite being separated from his human half, Dan would still retain his human emotions and feelings.

The reason he had acted so indifferent towards Sam and Tucker was because he had come to terms with their death by then and saw then as dead in his own eyes. True his humanity was gone, but the feelings were still there.

That explained that, but now what was it he was feeling for this strange ghost girl. He remembered last night, which seemed so long ago now, when he had seen her fighting with that other ghost and then falling to the ground. For a split second he felt physical pain at the idea of her dying, so he had caught her. At the time he had blamed it on the fact he needed to know who this girl was.

Which was another strange thing, why did he even care? Usually he didn’t care about someone’s past, except his own of course. It shouldn’t matter whether she was a halfa or not, but for some reason he wanted to know about her.

Dan looked down on the place he called home for fourteen years and then noticed something strange. A ghost was leaving and his other self wasn’t doing anything about it.

He looked a little closer and saw that this was a girl, and not just any girl, but the one current plaguing his thoughts. He watched her fly off a good ways before deciding to follow her.

He watched as she looked down at all the people and she even frowned. It was almost like she was sad. He watched her land on top of the school and then start pacing. She seemed to be deep in thought. Then she fell back onto the top of the building. Dan flew over and watched her for a few moments in silence.

Suddenly she jumped up and faced him. She looked ready to fight until she caught sight of him.

Erin lowered her hands to her sides and changed back into human form. “I’ve come to a decision.”

Dan raised an eyebrow. What kind of decision could she have come to?

“I think I’ll answer your questions and in return, you answer mine.”

Erin placed her hands on her hips and glared at him telling him without speaking that the terms were non-negotiable.

Dan regarded the girl for a few moments before nodding in agreement.

Erin smiled before speaking. “How did you get to be you? I know the basic story of what happened, but I want to hear your side.”

Dan’s eyes widened in surprise, his side of the story? That’s what she wanted to know?

“I was not expecting that question,” he said taking a seat on the roof. “No one ever asked me my side before. I guess it would all start with the death of my friends and family. I went to live with my archenemy, Vlad Masters A.K.A. Vlad Plasmius.”

Erin nodded before taking a seat next to him, but still not close enough to actually touch him.

“The pain of their deaths grew to be too much and so I asked Vlad to make the pain go away. I thought that if I got rid of my ghost side then the pain would go to. I am the ghost part of Danny and when I was removed I did the first thing I could when faced with my enemy, I removed his ghost side like he had done with me.

“After accomplishing that I decided that the only way to destroy all of Vlad Plasmius would be to absorb his body and take over. I accomplished the act in taking over the body, but I couldn’t destroy the pure evil within. It consumed me and all the good that was in me disappeared. I decided then that I needed to become more powerful and destroy all links with my past. So, I turned on my human half, who had woken up and saw the whole thing and was shaking in fear against the wall, and destroyed him. Then I looked for the human half of Vlad, but he had disappeared, so I destroyed his house and left to fulfill my destiny to become the greatest ghost of them all.”

“I see,” Erin said looking out over the rooftop. It was a sad story, and the results were inevitable.

“Now I believe that it is my turn,” he said. Erin nodded. “I know that you are a halfa, but how is it that I have never heard of you till now?”

Erin sighed. “I don’t know, but if what Danny told me is true about you being from a future that no longer exists, then perhaps we did meet in your time, but under different circumstances. Why I never met you in your younger self was probably due to the fact that I was busy fighting against Jarrett for my freedom.”

“Jarrett?” Dan asked in surprise turning to her. Erin nodded as the anger for him crossed over her features.

“He trapped me in the Ghost Zone with the intention of becoming his bride. I refused and we have been fighting ever since. We usually stayed in his region of the Ghost Zone until just recently when I heard of the one who helped him was in another place and went to search him out, but Jarrett caught up with me and I accidentally knocked him through the Fenton portal.”

Dan lowered his head. It was all coming back to him now. “I remember.”

“What?”

“In my own time, a ghost came to me insisting on help with his future wife. He said his name was Jarrett and he was in line to inherit the left region of the Ghost Zone once he married. He swore allegiance to me and I helped him because I wasn’t getting into Amity Park at the time due to the ghost shield they had constructed.

“The girl was slightly older than you are now, but you look just like her. I was able to capture her as was the plan, but Jarrett was late and she and I got to talking. She was kind and so very beautiful. I wanted her for myself and challenged Jarrett for her. I lost and so, I turned her human and killed her with my own hands. Jarrett and I fought for 6 years after that before I was captured by my younger self.”

“Why did you kill her?”

“I cared for her a great deal, but I didn’t love her. She said that she loved me despite the fact that I was evil, I was still nicer to her than Jarrett and I treated her better. She made me swear that if there was no way she could be free then I was to make sure that I was the last thing she ever saw. I kept my promise.”

Erin’s eyes widened at this. “Do you think that she was me?”

Dan looked over at the girl. “I don’t know, but it would make sense. You do seem awfully familiar to me.”

“How sad,” she said closing her eyes to the tears threatening to fall. “The man she loved was forced to kill her and not once did she ever hear him say he loved her in return. I can’t think of anything sadder.”

“I didn’t love her though,” Dan pointed out. Erin nodded.

“I know, but still. If I was going to die, I would like to die believing that the person I loved loved me in return, even if it wasn’t true.”

Dan’s eyes narrowed at this. “That is nothing more than a bunch of sentimental nonsense.”

Erin sighed. “Do you even feel love Dan?”

Dan’s thoughts flew back to his conversation with the Box Ghost.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Is it possible for ghosts to feel human emotions?”

The Box Ghost looked at him with confusion in his eyes. “Of course. We all come from humans at some point in our lives and even those that are born pure ghost inherit the human emotion from their parents. It is only natural that we would feel the same things humans would feel. In reality we aren’t all that different from them anyways.”

“Can ghosts love?”

“Yes, very strongly too. It is so strong that it is almost possessive. Ghosts, unlike humans, only fall in love once and then they are hooked to that ghost for all eternity. It is that strong.”

“Could a ghost love a human?”

“I suppose it’s possible, but not advisable. If a ghost were to fall in love with a human and that human didn’t reflect those feelings then the ghost would just wither away into nothingness.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The words kept flowing through his head as he thought about the question. Could he love?

“Yes, I can love.”

Erin looked over at Dan with surprise in her eyes. For some reason her heart was pounding in her chest.

“But you didn’t love her?”

“That is true. I cared for her, but it wasn’t love.”

“Have you ever loved anyone?”

Erin bit her tongue after saying that question. What could have possessed her to ask such a question?

What could have possessed her to ask such a question? That was the thought going through Dan’s head along with images of them together. Each one brought out a different emotional response. Anger when they fought, jealousy when he saw her leave him in the field as she flew off with his other self, desire when he looked at her, passion when he kissed her, fire and electricity when they were together physically, pain when he thought of her dying, happiness when he saw her smile, and hope when he looked in her eyes. Hope that he wasn’t as bad as he thought he was and that maybe someone would save him from himself.

Did he love someone? Dan turned to her and took her chin in his hands forcing her to look at him. Her cheeks were stained red as she blushed at the small contact. He smiled.

“Yes,” he whispered before taking her lips with his own.
