The Halfa Prince

Chapter 5: Back to School

A/N: Hey guys, so if you've gotten this far into my story I'd love to hear from you. I really appreciate reviews and FRIENDLY criticism. Anyways onto the chapter.

Danny's POV

By the time I had reached the Fenton Portal, phased up to my room and transformed back into Danny Fenton, it was almost 6 in the morning. I groaned, crawling into bed. "Maybe I can get at least a half hour of sleep," I muttered as my head hit the pillow.

About an hour later

The beeping of my alarm clock pulled me out of my peaceful sleep. I slammed my hand down on the snooze button and pulled the covers over my head hoping for just a few more precious seconds of sleep.

"Danny! Hurry up or you'll be late for school!" my mom yelled from the kitchen.

Well there goes my few extra seconds. "Coming!" I yelled half asleep. I threw off my covers and crawled out of bed. I caught my reflection in the mirror and saw the bandages from last night.

"Oh yeah," I muttered as I walked to my closet.

After quickly getting dressed in a pair of comfy jeans, my signature white and red shirt, and slipping on a red hoodie I headed downstairs. My mom was busy cooking breakfast and my dad was sitting at the table tinkering with one of his many ghost catching tools.

"Morning Danny," my mom said cheerfully.

"Morning," I replied as I sat down at the table, pouring myself a bowl of cereal.

"Something bothering you son?" my dad asked.

Aside from finding out I'm a Prince, Fright Knight is going to be following me around, and all of my enemies will soon know of my new status? "No, just tired," I said as I began munching on my cereal.

Jazz walked into the kitchen with her nose in one of her many psychology books.

"Morning princess,"dad said.

Jazz just nodded in return as she grabbed an apple and walked out of the kitchen. My dad and mom shared a look and shrugged. Finishing my bowl of cereal, I put the bowl in the sink and headed into the living room to grab my backpack. When I got in there, Jazz was sitting on the couch with my bag in her hand.

"Mind telling me what happened last night?" she said.

I stuck my hands in my pockets, "I had a little fight with Skulker no big deal."

"No big deal?" she said incredulously, "Sam texted me last night. She said she had to give you four stitches! Stitches Danny!"

"Whatever," I grumbled as I reached for my backpack.

Jazz pulled it away, "No not 'whatever' Danny. You could've gotten seriously hurt."

"Look I'm fine Jazz. See?" I said as I moved my injured arm in circles, "Now can I please have my bag? I need to get to school."

Jazz frowned but handed over my bag. I rushed out the door to avoid anymore of her scolding, I had already gotten enough of it last night with Sam and Tucker. I headed into the alley beside our house to transform, only to walk right into Fright Knight.

I fell back in surprise, my ghost sense going off as I made contact with the cement, "What are you doing here?!" I demanded as I got up.

"I am here to guard you, as we discussed last night," the ghost knight replied.

"Oh yeah," I said as I brushed myself off, "So great job, I'll see you after school." I transformed and started to fly towards Casper High. My ghost sense went off again and I turned my head to see Fright Knight flying behind me. I stopped flying and so did Fright Knight.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"I am here to protect you, and to do so I must be with you at all times," he responded.

I shook my head, "You can't come to school with me. Besides there's nothing you need to protect me from there."

"But sire-"

"Oh and please don't call me sire. If we are seen together call me welp like you normally do," I said.

I felt like I was confusing the poor guy out of his mind. I resumed flying towards my school and Fright Knight followed. I stopped, "Oh and one more thing," I said as the Spirit of Halloween stopped as well. "People don't know that Danny Fenton is not really a wimp so I have to let myself get beat up. So if you happen to see me getting bullied don't intervene. Or in any other circumstance where I look like I am in harms way," I told my bodyguard.

"But what if the situation becomes dire and I must intervene?" he asked.

I ran my fingers through my hair, "Then stay invisible and only help a little bit, I can always say that I used telekinesis if I need to explain it to my friends but they know I'm not that good at it yet." Fright Knight nodded and we continued flying towards my school.

At Casper High

I landed behind a dumpster and transformed back into Danny Fenton. Fright Knight landed behind me. I turned to face him, "Remember, stay invisible, don't interfere, and keep quiet."

He nodded and turned invisible. Thanks to Clockworks training I could see ghosts even when they were invisible so I could keep an eye on him and my friends would never know. I walked to the front of the school where my friends were waiting on the steps.

They spotted me and quickly walked over, "Where have you been?" Sam questioned.

I rubbed the back of my neck, "Slept in this morning," I answered.

Sam frowned, "Did you actually go to sleep like you promised?"

"Yes," I replied and it was technically true, I had slept for a little bit after I got home. More students began to arrive, "C'mon guys, or we'll be late for English" I said as I headed up the steps, my friends close behind. I held the door open for them as they walked in but before I followed I looked around spotting Fright Knight near a bunch of trees.

He was still invisible and seemed to know that I could see him because he nodded and moved his hand in a 'go ahead' motion. I rolled my eyes as I walked into the school.

'This is going to take a lot of getting used to' I thought.
