Chapter 16: Amity Park Horror
Third Person:
Zak Baggins looked at Danny- the one who he heard was the 'leader' and psychic of Soul Finders. He had long-ish black hair that was a bit shaggy, pale skin, and bright blue eyes. He wore black pants, a dressy green shirt tucked in, and a black fancy jacket. He looked a bit dressy for a ghost investigation. Zak glanced at the other members of Soul Finders- each one seemed to have their own style. Gear had long purple hair for cryin' out loud! She wore gray skinny jeans and a yellow off-shoulder shirt. She had some odd techy braclet that covered her whole forearm from wrist to elbow, and a loosely hung belt around her waist that also looked techy. Nancy looked a bit hippy- long dark brown skirt with a lighter brown shirt. Charlie and Kevin seemed to be a bit normally dressed- jeans, regular t-shirts (though Charlie's had writing on it that said 'soul finders' in dripping yellow letters). Bond seemed to dress like Zak- a bit on the darker side.
Danny went over to Lily Lowell and shook her hand,
"Danny Lane, but I was born Danny Fenton."
Her eyes widened,
"You—you're the sole survivor?"
Danny nodded. Zak and his team had wide eyes, but everyone else (minus Bond) had their jaws dropped. Danny nodded. Lily looked around and stuttered, trying to continue with her speech,
"Well….w—you have the whole town and hotel t—to yourselves tonight and tomorrow night. Sh—Shannon is in the hotel and is the last worker. She'll show you to your rooms and after that, she—she'll leave and lock the gates behind her. Don't worry about food and drinks since you're welcome t—to help yourselves."
Lily quickly left, feeling slightly uncomfortable. Gear was the first of the Soul Finders to be shaken from her shock. She came up and hit him the arm, hard.
"You never told me?!"
Danny winced and then shrugged,
"You never asked."
Gear scowled, she couldn't hurt him- after all, he was her best friend. Charlie and Kevin started laughing,
"Dude," Charlie said, "That's so awesome!"
Zak sighed,
"Guys," he said, "I think I would be the last one to say this, but can we focus here?"
Danny shrugged,
"Sorry," he then glared at Charlie, "someone texted me making it sound like it was an absolute necessity that I got here."
Charlie chuckled nervously.
"DADDY!"
Before they could react, a little blur ran past them and tackled Danny. She was a two-year-old girl, who was very cute. She had long black hair in pigtails, bright blue eyes, pale skin, blue shorts, a white spaghetti shirt, and a red beanie. She was adorable. Zak raised an eyebrow at how much they looked alike- even for a father and daughter. Charlie looked thoughtful, since when did Danny get laid and not tell us? Kevin was laughing at Gear's face- which was one of pure fury. Even Bond looked shocked and taken back, his normal 'poker face' broken.
Gear skipped the shock and went straight to anger and betrayal. The cute little girl that was in Danny's arms jumped down and was soon speaking with Zak.
"What's your name," Zak asked as he got down a knee. She looked up cutely,
"Ivory."
Nancy awed- she seemed not to be shocked, as she was just overwhelmed by the cutest. Though some part of her was sad, that means the mother isn't too far behind. Gear went straight up to Danny and repeatedly,
"You never said you had a flippin' kid?! Why didn't you tell me?! Who the freak is her mother?!"
Danny winced and rubbed his arm when she was done. She was still glaring at him with her arms crossed- she at least had her anger controlled so she didn't curse in front of a kid.
"First of all, ow. Second of all, her mother died in child birth. Her name was Sam."
Gear's glare softened. She knew Danny- he would never sleep with some cheap chick. He must have been serious with her- and then she died. Gear sighed,
"Okay, but why haven't we heard of her? I mean, come on," Gear said, "we're your best friends!"
Danny flustered,
"I…Uhh…I didn't exactly know about her at first," Danny muttered, "she had been in foster care until they finally found the father- me."
Gear blinked- out of all the reasons she didn't think that it was that. Bond was a bit speechless and decided that Gear's rant had done enough talking. Charlie and Kevin had been shaken out of their stupor and just looked at the kid.
Danny coughed nervously,
"So," he said turning to Zak, "You guys must be the Ghost Adventures? Zak, Nick, and Aaron, right?"
Zak shook hands with Danny,
"Yeah, so why bring your kid on an investigation? Isn't that a bit dangerous?"
Danny shrugged,
"Didn't have time for a babysitter, I can always get her home fast. I can't leave because I don't trust this place. Besides, she is psychic too and can take care of herself."
Zak nodded, a bit young for a psychic. Something just isn't right here.
In the end, Ivory ended up staying with them for the investigation. Of course, they were all against it, but Danny insisted that she would be fine.
"She's two," Zak protested.
"She'll be fine!"
Danny waved off Zak's concern, who was a bit frustrated. Nick and Aaron kept sharing a few glances. Gear and Charlie trusted Danny's judgment. Nancy was horrified. Bond didn't care and Kevin was not taking a side in the matter.
"What if it's demonic," Zak said.
"Trust me," Danny said, his eyes briefly flashed green, "If anything was going to hurt her- I wouldn't let it. Now, don't we have an investigation to do?"
Danny, Gear, and Zak were investigating Axion Labs while Charlie, Kevin, and Aaron investigated FentonWorks. Nancy, Bond, and Nick went to investigate a spot the town hall. Danny instructed Ivory to stay with Charlie in FentonWorks. Though, they were surprised that he didn't want his daughter with him- Charlie understood since the guy practically grew up in that house and trusted it to be safe.
Danny looked around the remains of Axion Labs, weird that it stayed in place….wait…Maybe the fire didn't destroy Axion Labs? Maybe it was the mutt instead? Danny shook his head; he needed it clear for the investigation. He had to act like he usually did, otherwise it would raise suspicion, and who knew what would happen if they found out? What if they called the Guys in White? What if they found out Ivory had the same powers? What if Ivory got caught? He couldn't risk that. He couldn't risk anyone hurting her. He would give the rest of his 'half life' up for her if it meant she would be safe. He smiled sadly, already thinking like a father.
Zak had the air mask on- so many investigations with too much dust took a toll on his respiratory system, making it so he wore the mask often on investigations. He looked at Danny briefly- poor guy. He sees ghosts and he comes back to place where everyone he knew died and on the tenth anniversary too. He glanced over at Gear.
"This is the line," Gear said, "people who passed it have gotten bit, and clawed."
Zak nodded. Danny looked confused, okay; Cujo wouldn't have done that….but…What if the ghosts of the other guard dogs did? What if those other guard dogs became a spirit, not an actual ghost (a Ghost Zone ghost) like Cujo did? It would explain a few things. Danny knew Cujo wouldn't bite people or claw them. If he did, he most likely would be seen since he doesn't seem to bother with invisibility much.
Gear and Zak shared a look and stepped over the line. Danny followed them,
"I don't see any ghosts," he stated, "wait," he shivered, "never mind. There is defiantly something here."
Zak's EMF detector started to go off.
Nancy, Bond, and Nick looked around town hall. People reported seeing orbs, hearing voices, seeing apparitions, and a few people reported that they saw a 'Dracula-like' figure flying around.
Nancy looked around nervously as their EMF's started to go off.
"Is there anyone here with us," Nick stated.
The EMF spiked again.
"What is your name," Nick continued.
The EMF spiked, but no voices. Bond got out the spirit box,
"This may be easier," Bond said, "Did you die in the Great Fire?"
Laughter cut through the static.
Charlie, Kevin, Aaron and Ivory walked around FentonWorks. Charlie looked over at Ivory- something about her seemed off. The same way Danny felt off. He shook his head; he was still surprised that Danny had a kid. He was even more surprised that Danny didn't know about it. Charlie thought Danny the type of guy that would sleep only with the one he loves, and if they had a kid- that he would do anything for her/him. He seemed to give off this protective aura. Though, if he did love that Sam chick, then it explained why he never hit on the college girls.
Kevin kept glancing at Ivory. She didn't seem to understand things around her- which was normal since she was a kid. But if she was psychic, maybe she could help them? He shook his head, no, Danny would have his head if he let Ivory be in danger. Danny was, after all, a protective father. It was a bit odd though. Something about Danny's story didn't set well. If Danny just found out he had a daughter, why are they so connected? Usually it takes a while for a father to bond like that to their kid, especially if they just met. Then again, is there anything normal about Danny?
Aaron started to feel a bit uncomfortable. He just met that Danny dude, and his kid, but Danny's team didn't know Danny had a kid. Aaron could cut the tension with a knife; it was so thick in the air. Not only that, but he did have a kid too. He would never let his kid on an investigation, but Danny seemed too casual about. Danny, though they just met, didn't seem like a careless father- especially the tone of his voice when he told Zak that his daughter would be safe no matter what. Aaron also felt a bit uncomfortable since the kid- someone else's kid- was with him. It made him feel responsible for someone else's kid in a place where there is paranormal activity- and maybe even demonic activity.
Ivory gasped just as their EMF detectors went off,
"Mommy."
