Chapter 13

Homesick



It had almost been two weeks since Vlad had kidnapped Danny. Vlad had noticed that the teen wasn't eating much or leaving his room, he thought they had gotten through the rebellion stage but he guessed not or maybe it was not rebellion maybe he wasn't feeling well again. If that was so then why hadn't the teen told him even though he knew Danny was trying to avoid him.

"Well if he doesn't confess I'll have to confront him"he said as he went towards the dinning room, and then he sees the person he was looking for.

"Morning Daniel"he said the boy jumped when he heard the older hybrid say his name.

Danny didn't say anything cause he didn't know what to say and he didn't feel like talking to the man right now so he got up and left when Vlad sat down.

Vlad frowned when he seen this "Robbie did he eat?"Vlad asked his cook hoping that he did.

"Yes but he didn't eat much"Robbie said with sigh.

Just as Vlad had thought he had to find out what was wrong and fast before the teen starved himself to death. He went up to the teen's room, he knocked on the door but there was no answer so he just decided to phase in since he knew the would probably not answer. He saw Danny just staring at the wall with barely any emotion on his face, he didn't even seem to notice the man had just phased in the room.

"Daniel"Vlad called to get his attention, the teen didn't respond he just looked at him.

"Are you feeling alright little badger?"he asked there was still no response, Vlad went up to the teen and lifted his chin so he would look at him but Danny flinched away.

"Daniel I know something is wrong because you've barely been eating anything and I know you've been trying to avoid me."he said concerned then he continued "If you aren't feeling well little badger you should have told me I've been worried about you-" he didn't finish because the teen finally spoke up.

"You think I'm sick"Danny said glaring "You think that's why I've been avoiding you and why I've barely been eating well guess again cause you only got half of it right when you have figured the other half out then talk to me until then leave me alone!"

Vlad didn't know what to say to the boy's outburst or even do he was sure that was what was wrong with the boy but he guessed not but what did he mean "you only half of it right" Vlad didn't know but he respected the boy's wishes and left.

He went to his private study to think about what Daniel had said, he said that he had only gotten half of it right but what did that mean wait half he must have meant sick but he told him he wasn't sick unless this was a different kind of sick.

"But what kind of sick, gee Daniel I thought mind games was my thing"He said with a sigh then he looked at one his medical books until he saw something that wasn't really a sickness but did usaully happen to people often.

It read Homesickness is usually cased by being away from one's home to long the are usually depressed and don't really want to eat anything kind of like love sick.

"Homesick of course! why didn't I figure that out sooner"he said and then he started heading back to the boy's room that he was sorry and that he should have known when he felt Daniel's ecto signature come to life.

He followed it outside where he saw the boy flying somewhere he quickly changed to Plasmius and teleported infront of him so he couldn't run.

Danny bumped into Vlad and quickly tried to fly away but Vlad grabbed his arm so he couldn't and squised his arm when he tried to turn intangable.

"You're not going anywhere until we talk Daniel"He said to him seriously since he knew the teen was trying to run away.

Danny stuggled so Vlad had no choice but to use the Plasmius Maximus which would short his powers for 24 hours, the boy screamed and then he turned human he would have fell if Vlad wasn't holding onto his arm, he carried Danny inside no matter how much he protested against it.

"I thought I told you to leave me alone"Danny said annoyed at the man for shorting his powers.

"And I thought I told you not leave the property"Vlad said angry.

"I wasn't going to leave the property frootloop I was just going out to the forest"Danny explained even though he didn't know why he had too.

Vlad blinked in surprise he didn't know that well at least the boy couldn't run from their conversation now but he should say sorry for shorting his powers when he didn't do anything wrong.

"Sorry Daniel I didn't know but I also want to say I'm sorry for something else"He said to the boy who's face turned from a glare to a confused face.

"I wanted to say that I'm sorry I said you were sick when you're actaully just homesick I'm sorry Daniel I should have known"he said sencerly to the teen.

"Do you want to talk about it?"he asked Danny, but he just shoke his head. Vlad felt guilty he didn't want to make the teen so sad, he went to sit beside Daniel who had tears running down his face he put hand on his shoulder and tried to comfort him but nothing seemed to work.

"It'll get little badger please don't cry"He begged, Danny wiped the tears from his eyes and tried to shift away from Vlad but he wouldn't let not this time.

"I'm going to make you talk about my boy but it would be nice if you did, I just want to help you little badger and really wish you'd let me"Vlad said and then let go of Danny the boy went strait to his room without a word.

"I'll confront him later"Vlad said and went down to his lab.
