His human was amazing.

Even 6 months after kidnapping Danny and feeding off him multiple times, Phantom still hadn't gotten tired of his flavor. Usually, he would get tired of the taste of the same human just before he finished devouring them after stealing them away from their lives.

Danny had long ago stopped reacting whenever Phantom needed food. He had gotten used to the pain a while ago and it no longer bothered him, the kid didn't even flinch when Phantom's teeth tore away at him. The boy had pink scars decorating the entire expanse of his body, the fresher ones from 3 weeks ago a bright red where the skin had only just regenerated enough to close the wound. They were small, no more than an inch in diameter.

Phantom would be able to enjoy them more if Danny wasn't so emaciated. He actually kind of missed the amount of body mass the kid used to have, and not just because he could barely find a spot to get a good bite out of him anymore.

Death didn't look good on Danny.

His family had stopped looking for Danny long ago, and though he was satisfied that he had beat them in terms of keeping Danny all for himself, victory was bittersweet.

Danny was his, and his alone. He would give him up to nobody, no one was allowed to touch him ever. But, it was a shame that death would soon come to the boy. He actually wished that the kid would live for much longer. He actually could, if he would stop being stubborn and actually eat the food that Phantom finds and is nice enough to treat him with, all he had to do was let Phantom take care of him properly and he would live much longer. But Danny was very very stubborn and Phantom realized that death was an actual possibility for Danny. By that, he meant very soon, because at this rate Danny's heart could stop any day now.

Phantom could hear and smell everything that was going on in Danny's body, and currently, his heart was having trouble getting any nutrients to pump healthy blood throughout his body, especially up to his brain. The lack of nutrients is causing him to have severe lack of vision, his thoughts are always jumbled for reasons other than just depression, and his body was actively trying to get nutrients from the last remaining long term energy sources, like his endocrine system. 

His body defiantly wants to survive, but it doesn't seem like Danny wants to. The kid wouldn't even lift his head anymore, let alone open his eyes. Phantom had hardly seen those bright blue orbs in a month, and when he did see them they seemed so... defeated.

Maybe he should just end it for him? The boy was starting to become a pebble in his shoe, ever since the brat kissed him Phantom had been feeling awkward. He wouldn't call it love, Hell no, or even affection of any kind. However, Phantom couldn't stand the power Danny seemed to have over him. Merpeople were never meant to ever know what shame or sadness felt like, but Phantom often suspected that's what it was that he felt when he felt that painful tugging in his stomach. How dare this stupid human teach him what shame was? 

'Hades forgive me.' he wasn't like the other merpeople anymore, he understood what sadness was. All because of this stupid, stubborn, suicidal bastard. If any of the others in the cove found out he would surely be killed.

Phantom's pride and his soul were in need of redemption, he needed to prove to his God that he was still worth his tail. 

The only mermaid ever known to have supposedly felt emotions towards a human lived thousands of years ago before Phantom was even born. Her name was Arisoal, and she fell in love with a human, she even sang to him just to make his sorry royal ass fall in love with her. Hades was outraged with her and gave her one final year to redeem herself by killing the human to restore her honor. But she was still madly in love with the prince, so after that year, Hades punished her by turning her into a human herself, and she lived and died just 50 short years later. She was a disgrace to the siren race, and she died a traitor.
