Chapter 10

Night fright

Vlad had debated going to check on Danny after Jasmine had left because they had not finished what they were talking about before she arrived and he also wanted to see if he was okay because he looked sad.

Vlad couldn't help but feel a little guilty for making the young hybrid feel so sad because he knew it was his fault that Daniel was upset but he hadn't thought about but he noticed that Daniel did not look well actually the boy had looked awfully pale and he meant more than usual.

Vlad figured that if Daniel wasn't feeling well that the boy would probably tell him. Or maybe not why would he after all he knew that the teen did not trust him so why would he ever tell him about his health.

Vlad went to bed thinking that he would ask Daniel tomorrow if he was feeling well if the boy didn't confess he could always run an analysis on him even if he had to do it by force.

Two hours later...

"NO!!!!!!!!!!!!" Vlad heard a scream Daniel he thought. Well he guessed that answered if the boy was alright.

He guessed he should go check on Danny and see if he was alright he must of had a nightmare and it must have been a bad one to make him scream that loud. Hopefully Daniel was okay.

He knocked on the door no answer he knocked again this time a little louder again no answer he decided to call and see if that worked "Daniel" he called and still no answer he was getting a little frustrated he knew the teen had not just simply gone back to sleep.

"Daniel I'm coming in alright" Vlad said and still no answer he walked into the room and realized that he was not even in the room "Butter biscuits where is he?"

Then he sensed Danny's ecto signature and followed it, the signal was coming from outside so he changed into his ghost form he flew up and found Daniel sitting on the roof knee's up to his chest arms on his knee's and his head looking up at the full moon.

He couldn't tell if the boy looked sick or not because he was in ghost form, the teen let out a sigh and started to get up.

Vlad finally found the courge to speak up "How long have you been out here"

Danny jumped when he heard the older hybrid's voice but then he relaxed and answered "About fifteen minutes"Danny grabbed his head he still felt dizzy.

Vlad seen this and floated closer "Are you alright"he asked worried.

Danny was about to answer but then he felt very faint and he blacked out.

"DANIEL!"Vlad cried out in panic as he watched the young half ghost faint and change back. Vlad caught him and started to shake him really scared.

"Daniel, Daniel come on little badger wake up" but nothing worked he put his hand on the boys forehead and he realized the boy had a really high fever he took the boy back to his room.

"Phil I need you to bring me some cold water, towels, and a cup of tea and some soup" he told his butler and then he went and sat near Daniel's bed no one had ever scared him like this and he guessed he knew that the boy was sick but he ignored all the signs.

He put his hand on the teens "I'm sorry Daniel" he said to the teen softly and waited for Phil to return.

Chapter 9

Nightmares

After Danny went to his room it didn't take long for him to fall asleep and after the events that happened last night he began to dream....

Danny woke up and found himself in Vlad's lab. Why am I here he thought, he tried to get up but he realized that he was strapped to a table.

He tried to struggle free even though he knew it was useless and then suddenly a hand went on to his shoulder. The next minute he saw Vlad with a surgically mask and apron on.

"Don't struggle Daniel it'll just make it worse" said Vlad trying to calm him.

"Vlad what's going on why are you wearing that and why am I.." Danny didn't finish because Vlad put 2 fingers to his mouth.

"Don't worry little badger it'll all be over soon you won't feel the pain anymore" said Vlad going to a table and noticed what was on it.

The Ghost Gauntlets.

Now Danny knew what was going on and he was scared that horrible future was going to come true and there was nothing Danny could do to stop it from happening.

Vlad came back with a mask "Okay Daniel I'm going to put you under now" he said and tried to put the mask on but Danny started to struggle again and again Vlad put a comforting hand on his shoulder "Shh little badger don't worry everything is going to be all right I promise but remember this my boy" Vlad said softly then he kissed Danny on the forehead "I love You"

And those were the last words that Danny herd before the scene changed everything went black and then Danny herd familiar evil laughter.

"Hello Danny remember me" said the voice.

How could Danny forget that voice then suddenly Dan Phantom appeared in front of his face.

"Ha you thought you could run from your future well look where you are now"Dan at Danny and grabbed him and looked him right in the face.

"I still exist which means you still turn into me" Dan said and laughed evilly and then Danny began to feel himself changing he could feel himself growing fangs and his ears beginning to grow pointed..

"NO" Danny screamed and sat up in his bed drenched with sweat and hyperventilating he got out of bed and looked in the mirror to see if it had been real.

He looked normal so it was just a dream or more like a nightmare this was the third one he's had since he came to live with Vlad but tonight's was the worst yet.

He decided to go for a midnight flight to clear his mind and to relax him he didn't even notice that he looked paler than usual.

Danny flew up to the roof and looked at the stars and the full moon and he felt kinda dizzy so he went and sat on the roof.

Chapter 8

Danny's Explanation

When they got into the living room Danny started telling Jazz what happened before and after Sam called but then Jazz interrupted for the bazillionth time.

"Okay wait what did he do after you woke up and realized where you were" Jazz asked.

"Jazz I told you a hundred times already"Danny complained because it was true.

"Just tell me Danny" she said pleadingly while Vlad gave an amused face at the two teens fighting.

"Fine" Danny said annoyed and the continued "Okay like I said I tried to escape got caught then he zaped me with the Plasmius Maximus which shorted my powers for a day because he upgraded it. Then he tried to catch me I doged and went for the door when I realized it was locked it was too late because his duplicate caught me and then took me back to the couch. Then by force he made sit sideways on his lap while still holding me in a fice grip then the real Vlad came up to me and forcefully injected a serum into me which made me sleep for two days got it" Danny asked.

Jazz nodded and then Danny told her that she would have to ask Vlad for the rest because he was not telling it and also he didn't really know.

"No! I'm not letting that fruit loop explain anything to me" Jazz said giving Vlad a glare.

"I'm hurt that you don't trust me Jasmine" said Vlad showing a fake hurt look

"Well unless you don't want to hear the rest Jazz I would ask him because I'm not telling it" said Danny in a serious voice.

"No I think I got all I need Danny at least enough to tell Tucker and Sam and mom and dad" said Jazz in low voice.

"What?!"Danny shouted "No Jazz you can't tell them none of them this has to stay between us" he said still shocked that Jazz would suggest his parents.

"May I interrupt" Vlad said " I'm sorry Jasmine but did you just say your parents because they saw Daniel's body so they would not believe unless you were planning on telling the Daniel's secret"Vlad said giving her his own glare now.

"Well actually yeah I was." said Jazz hestintally

"What! No! No! No! Jazz thats my secret you have no right to tell them anything about Danny Phantom"Danny shouted angrily at his sister.

"But Danny don't you want to come home and be with your family again instead of living here and being miserible." Jazz said now tears in her teal eyes.

"Of course I do but I don't want to reveal my secret and then get made into a sience experiment Jazz didn't you think of that." said Danny annoyed.

"SIENCE EXPERIMENT! You really think Mom and Dad would do that Danny." Jazz shouted back.

"Maybe not mom and dad but what about the Guys in White Jazz they'll find out and then I'll have to leave again and probaly never come back." Danny shouted.

"I-I never thought of that" Jazz said the tears starting to run down her face "But Danny I miss you and I want you to come home." she said now crying.

"Jazz please don't cry I miss you guys but there's nothing I can do so Jazz please go home and don't tell them anything just say I wasn't here okay"Danny said pleadingly.

"Okay little brother I won't say anything as long as he promises to take care of you" Jazz said indicating Vlad who Danny forgot was still in the room.

"I promise that Daniel will be fine with me." he said coming up to Danny and putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Okay well Bye Danny"Jazz said and hugging Danny One last time when they got to the door.

"Bye Jazz"said Danny tears rolling down his face and returned her hug and then let go still tears in his ocean blue and her teal eyes.

When Jazz left Danny headed straight for his room and Vlad didn't stop him knowing that would want to be alone.

Chapter 7

Unexpected Visitors



Jazz decided to go alone because Tucker and Sam had to study for a big English test for tomorrow and plus Jazz was allowed to take some time off school mostly until she was emotionally ready and also because her grades were good and the best in the school.



So the next day after she was packed she took the speeder and started heading to Wisconsin. all she wanted to do was find her brother and hope that he was still alive and not with Vlad.



She didn't have to worry about her parents coming home because they said that they wouldn't be back until Monday night. They were taking some time off to sort a get over Danny.



She really hoped that Sam was right and that was just a trick by Vlad and that Danny was either hiding or fighting for his life.



It was already 5 pm and she had left at noon. She was just flying over Madison and almost at Vlad mansion she hoped that Danny would not be there but it did not hurt to check or ask Vlad if he had seen Danny.



Jazz parked the speeder by a few trees and started going towards the door.



DP

Danny and Vlad were In the living room and Danny was about to ask him if he knew Clockwork but he didn't know how to say it without making it sound suspicious because he wasn't ready to tell Vlad about how he had met Clockwork in the first place or about his fear of becoming him or about that weird alternate future he had seen.
No he couldn't tell him that but he could say that he got a visit from Clockwork in his room and tell him that Clockwork said and maybe find out how he knows Clockwork.
"So Daniel what did you want to talk about" asked Vlad looking hopeful that he might tell him what he is so afraid of even though Danny had only been there for two days.
Uh-Oh Danny froze he didn't know what to say. Why in the was he so scared of talking to the older hybrid. Well actually he wasn't afraid of talking to him he was afraid of the questions Vlad could ask him.
"Well you see before you came to get me I got a visitor" Danny said finally in sort a scared voice.
"Really who? Cause I told all of my employees to leave you alone" Vlad said thinking that one of employees may have disobeyed him.
"What?! No no it was not any of your employees" said Danny surprised that Vlad thought someone had disobeyed him.
"Then who was it Daniel" Vlad asked now seriously confused.
"It was..." Danny never finished because someone just rang the door bell.
"Hold on little badger I'll be right back" said Vlad heading to the door wondering who in the world would bother him at almost 6 at night especially when he was on holiday.
When Vlad got to the window he did not expect to see Jasmine there and quickly raced back to Daniel he could not let Jasmine see Daniel here or let Daniel see Jasmine.
"Daniel go to your room" Vlad said trying to hide the panic in his voice but it didn't succeed.
"Huh? Why? and why do you look like you've seen my dad in boxer shorts" said Danny he had seen that same look when Jazz saw their dad in boxer shorts.
Ugh! Great now he had that horrible picture in his mind but he had to get Danny out of here "Please Daniel don't argue and go to your room please we can finish our talk after my guest goes away I promise okay" Vlad asked pleadingly.
"Okay " Danny said even though he didn't want to he went to the staircase and started climbing the steps but when Vlad left he went invisible and followed him wanting to know who Check Spellinghad made look a little scared.
Vlad answered the door finally after the doorbell had rang about a million times and looked down at Jazz and said "Why hello Jasmine what brings you to Wisconsin" he said with an Innocent smile.
"You know exactly what brings me out here fruit loop" said Jazz giving him a glare.
"If you're here about Daniel well you know he's dead." said Vlad
"NO HE IS NOT AND YOU KNOW IT!" shouted Jazz
"Hm. you know Jasmine you're very smart how did you know that Daniel is alive" said Vlad with 'I know something you don't know' smile.
"Well you maybe a fruit loop but I know for a fact that you would never kill Danny" Jazz said with a matter of faculty tone.
Danny was watching just couple of feet away from them and couldn't believe his eyes when he seen that his sister was here to rescue him.
Vlad sighed he could sense the boy was near why hadn't he listened to him for once "Well you're right about that Jasmine so" He paused and turned around to where Danny was "Alright Daniel you can turn visible I know you're there" he said and Danny turned visible.
"DANNY!" said Jazz suprised.
"Hey Jazz" said Danny a little upset that he had gotten caught.
Jazz ran to Danny and gave him a lung crushing hug. "Jazz you're suffacating me"said Danny breathless.
"Oh sorry I was just so worried." Jazz said letting go. "But Danny what are you doing here with Vlad in Wisconsin"
"Um hello sorry to interupt your little reunion but you should know the answer to that Jasmine" said Vlad coming up to them.
"I want to here it from Danny." said Jazz glaring at Vlad.
"Jazz I can't explain everying to you because well I don't know everything but I can tell what I know if it's okay with Vlad." said Danny gesturing to Vlad.
"It's fine with me Daniel after all Jasmine already knows your here so she should know the reason why." said Vlad now going back to the living room and both teens followed.

Chapter 6

Expected Vistors

The next Day

After Danny had breakfast he went back to his room wondering what had happend to him last night. like why did he break down like that and actually let Vlad give him comfort when this was all of his fault in the first place he should hate Vlad not want comfort from him.

But the fact was all of that did happen and there was nothing he could do about it now. And also he was thinking about what Vlad said last night like how did the man know that there was something else wrong besides him just wanting to see his loved ones.

Well he was examining my face and he said it was written all over my face Danny thought but that still didn't explain how he knew because all that was on his face was sadness not fear.

And Danny knew exactly what that fear was he that if he was here then he might become evil he might become him.

Dan Phantom.

He never wanted that future to come true but here he was in Wisconsin living with Vlad. Danny knew that only one person could help him now.

Clockwork.

But how was he going to get to Clockwork? Vlad had already told him that he was not allowed to leave the property so his portal at home was out of the question. He guessed he could use Vlad's but he also told him that his priviate study, secret lab, and office were off limits plus he didn't know how to get to Clockwork's tower from here.

Danny sighed "So how am I supose to see him if I can't get to him?"

Suddenly as if answer his question a mysterious voice said "TIME OUT" and the next thing Danny knew is that there was a Time medalion around his neck and Clockwork was standing right in front of him.

"Clockwork?" Danny asked just so he was sure that this was not a halluncenation or a trick by Vlad.

"Yes Danny it is me I know you wanted to talk to me and well that you were unable to come and see me." said Clockwork.

"You knew?" said Danny even though he knew what the answer was.

"Of course Danny I know everything remeber I also know that you fear of becoming him and that alternate future becoming a reality." said Clockwork changing into his older form.

"Yeah I am. Clockwork will it happen if stay here because you probly know this but I can't leave everyone will soon think I'm dead."Danny said worried that Clockwork might not be able to help him.

"I know Danny and I know what your thinking and the answer is no. I will not prevent Vlad from tricking your parents or anything else for that matter. Clockwork said changing into a child and then back to his usual form.

"But why you know what might happen can't you fix this please I need my family, my friends please Clockwork please." said Danny pleading he really missed his family and Tucker and Sam.

"I can fix this but I won't beacause that would be interfering which I am not allowed to do and some things just happen for a reason and you have to let them take there course but remeber this Danny. Don't let your anger take control of you and you will be fine. Oh and Tell Vlad I said Hi. TIME IN" And Clockwork disapeared leaving Danny alone.

Danny couldn't belive how unfair that was although he knew Clockwork and knew that he never did anything without a reason and wait did Clockwork know Vlad because he just told me to say Hi for him to Vlad.

"This just keeps getting weirder and weirder mabey I should find and ask him instead of confusing myself." said Danny headed for the door when he all of sudden he bumped right into the person he was going to look for.

"Oh Daniel I was just coming to see you sorry about that" said Vlad noticing Danny rubbing his head.

"Thats okay Vlad I was just going to look for you actually" Danny said still a little shocked that they both wanted to see each other at the same time.

"Oh really why?" Vlad said a little confused at why Danny wasn't the least bit annoyed.

"I just wanted to talk to you thats all." said Danny

"Well alright but will do that after lunch little badger okay"said Vlad that was the real reason he was here to make sure the boy didn't starve himself.

Danny was a little confused it was lunch time already? he shrugged it off an said "Okay" and went with Vlad down stairs.
