I'm sorry about the ship, y'all. Leave me alone. In this AU, Danny Fenton and Danny Phantom are two different people. Have fun.
For a long time, Death had no name.
Now he does.
Daniel Phantom......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Danny Fenton wasn't scared of death.
He was scared of Death.
There was a difference, you see.
There was lowercase-d death, the force.
There was uppercase-d Death, the person. The Grim Reaper, if you will.
The Grim Reaper, who steals souls with his scythe blade like it's nothing.
Danny had been too close to death --and Death-- to be comfortable with the idea like everyone else in the small town of Amity Park was.
But he had heard the close-encounter stories.
He was said to be a lanky and pale teenager, with green eyes and a thick shock of white hair, wearing black hooded robes and his scythe always in hand.
Danny hadn't known whether to believe it or not earlier in life.
But now he was too close to not believe it.
Dash Baxter had fucked him up pretty badly. He had to be taken to the ER, he was bleeding so badly.
The heart monitor had gone dead twice already, but the doctors managed to pull him back.
Death gets what he wants...
Danny shivered. It was nearing 3 AM. He needed to stop thinking abou-
A dark figure slunk in the room, but not through the door. Through the window.
He pushed off his hood, his thick white hair and pale skin shining in the moonlight, his green eyes cutting through the darkness to rest on the dark-haired teen just a few feet away.
"W-who are y-you and what d-do you want?" Danny asked.
"I want nothing too pricey. As for who I am, you already know, don't you?"
"The Grim Reaper."
He sneered softly.
"I hate that name. Call me Daniel. What are you named?"
"My name's Daniel, too, but I like to be called Danny."
His sneer turned to smile. He stepped forward a bit and resting his fingertips against Danny's cheek.
"Such a fine soul. Too bad I have orders."
"Or-orders?"
"From a family member that also happens to be my boss."
"You have family?"
Daniel nodded, his hair catching the moonlight.
Suddenly, there was a ton of noise just outside of the door.
"I need to leave. See you again, my love." He leapt from the window, disappearing into thin air.
Nurses rushed in, only to find Danny Fenton, the other voice they heard nowhere in sight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Daniel walked into Headquarters and was immediately embraced by a muscular man.
Each of the 3 siblings took souls after certain deaths.
Daniel took souls that died from injury after an incident.
His sister (AKA boss) took the peaceful, painless deaths.
Their brother (AKA the one hugging Daniel) took the bloody deaths. Ones of war or incidents where they don't make it to the hospital.
Dan let go of Daniel, holding him at arms' length. "You ok, brother?"
"Yeah. I'm fine."
Dan stared at him for a millisecond before figuring it out.
"You went out to see Daniel Fenton, didn't you?"
"I'm in charge of his death. I can see him when I want."
"Don't let Danielle find out."
"Wouldn't imagine it."
Dan hugged him again. This time, he didn't hesitate to hug him back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dan's heart stopped when he was called to the office.
Or, more rather, it would have, if he'd still had one that worked.
Danielle (Dani) was staring at him when he walked in.
"You know where Daniel went, don't you?"
"Maybe."
"He could get killed, Dan. Humans are ruthless when it comes to things they don't understand. Look at how they perceive us."
"I get it, Dani. But this isn't the first time he's done this. He can't get caught, and if he does, helloooooo, teleportation ring a bell, sis? He'll be fine."
She sighed. "Maybe you're right."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Danny woke to a stabbing pain in his chest. He fumbled for the Emergency button on his bedside table, starting to black out.
Nurses, doctors, and EMTs rushed into the room, scared of of their minds.
Danny caught the glint of familiar green eyes, pale skin, and thick white hair before the heart monitor went dead.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Daniel held Danny's soul in his arms as he made his way back to Headquarters, the dark-haired teen passed out, his cheek pressed to the front of Daniel's black robes.
Danielle was going to hate him.
But there was no turning back now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cliffhanger!!! It's ok, y'all can hate me.
There will be more soon!!
