Alex Chase: Beyond The Multiverse

Chapter 17: Half Dead, Half Hero: Part 3

I woke up on the couch to my phones alarm, feeling sore and tired.

" Morning, sis." I said, yawning widely. Jazz detached herself from my chest and stretched.

" Morning, Danny. Do you feel any less tired then yesterday?"

" Maybe a little," I lied. Jazz crossed her arms. " Yeah, not nearly enough."

" Me either," she admitted.

" Think we should tell Mom and Dad that we're going to school?"

" No. They probably forgot we ever even came home last night. Want me to drive you to school again?"

" Could you?" I asked hopefully.

" Hey Callista. Hey Gwen. Hey Ben. Hey Kevin," said Tucker.

" Hey guys. Need any help walking Danny?" Callista asked. I was limping. It wasn't my fault. A ghost cut our brake line on the way to school. A twenty-ton ghost blaster was not ideal for putting pressure on an already bruised and scratched leg.

" Nope, I'm fine," I said, even though my face probably told them I needed to see a doctor, or at least a therapist. The ironic thing was, I'd actually gotten both those people, and they'd both turned out to be ghosts.

The therapist was actully doing the exact opposite of her job, trying to make me even more miserable by making me think my sister thought I was a loser. After I came to my senses and realized Jazz would never think of me like that, I took that rotten ghost down. But still.

" Cool. . . so we were talking about this this new class that we're taking during last period. Every grade in the school is required to take it with another random grade at a random time of day. It's called I.G.D.E.M. Also know as: Intro to Ghosts and Dark, Extraordinary Magic," said Gwen.

" It's to help be prepared for all the ghosts in this town. We have Danny Phantom, but we want to be prepared for when he's can't help us. You know, help him out a bit. It was your Mom and Dad's idea, but Callista made it happen," said Ben. Oh man, Callista is the greatest! She just made my job a hundred times easier!

" You okay man? You changed from exhausted to overjoyed in two seconds flat," said Kevin.

" Where do we go?" I asked excitedly.

" I can take you. You too, Jazz," said Callista, grabbing my sisters hand. She yanked her along, pulling me with them.

" Hello class. I am Ms. Morgan Lei Faye (Morg-ann Lee F-eh) But you call me Ms. Morgana. You are here to learn about the very complicated art of dimensional worlds beyond our understanding," said a very pretty woman.

Many people whispered under their breath. Morgan Lé Fay AKA Morgana was a very well know dark sorceress from medieval times, and the rumored nemesis of Merlin, the greatest sorcerer of all time. What a fitting name for a teacher who was supposed to teach us about the ghost and monsters of the universe.

The woman in front of us actually looked like she could be the real Morgana. She had long wavy black hair that fell down to her waist. She had on this old-fashioned white and gold dress, with a hoop belt and the ribbon coming down the end.

Her skin was so pale, she could've been a vampire. Her eyes where a very odd shade of gray. She even had what looked a green and black scepter on display behind her desk. But there was something...off about her smile that completed the look.

I was being paranoid, as usual. " There is a realm of magic, a realm of the dead, a realm of Chaos, and there are many Multiverses. Who can tell me the common name of the realm of magic?" She asked. Only two hands went up. Callista's and Gwen's. Ms. Morgana picked Gwen.
