So while I'm writing this, I haven't actually had any hits on the first chapter yet, but I remain ever vigilant in my hopes that one of you will leave me a comment/review. Anyways, in unrelated news, I have decided to start typing this on my phone because it is so much more convenient than trying to hold my laptop over my face while in bed. Not only that, but it hurts a heck of a lot less when I drop it on said face. Yes, it happened. Don't ask me how. All you need to know is that the next chapter is up :)

Chapter 2 -

"Calm down Daniel, you struggling is not going to help anything!" Exclaimed Vlad as he was trying to hold Danny down on the table.

"Let me go! What are you doing to me?"

"Daniel!" Vlad shouted, stunning Danny for long enough to speak. "An ectobomb was detonated at the party you were at. You suffered from a concussion and two broken ribs. You would have died had Ember not protected you, and despite that you were still wounded.

Danny could feel the twinge of pain that raced through his chest when Clad mentioned the ribs, and even be had to admit that be was finding it hard to focus his eyes. "There's nothing to be afraid of now, your high ghost energy will speed the healing process."

"How is Ember? Is she alright?" asked Danny.

"Yes, she will be fine. She took more shrapnel due to her protecting you, but she is expected to make a full recovery." Then Vlad added jokingly, "It's hard to kill a ghost, Daniel. You should know that well enough by now."

Danny huffed at that, sending a slight twinge through his body. "I suppose so. Where is she?"

"In a recovery room down the hall. You will be allowed to see her later, but right now we have some extremely important matters to attend to. Can you walk?"

Danny stirred, and righted himself in his bed. Than he stood, a little wobbly at first, but soon steadied and found he could in fact stand. "How long was I out?" asked Danny.

"8 hours after Ember administered the drug. You were struggling against her and in her condition, she couldn't risk you getting away from her."

There was a feeling in the back of Danny's mind, some lost thought struggling to surface. It hit him. "Sam and Tucker. What happened to them?" Vlad's face darkened and be let out a sigh. "I'm sorry Daniel" we weren't able to recover the bodies. We can only assume that they were killed in the blast. I'm so sorry Daniel. We did all that we could."

Danny's throat turned dry and he began to sweat. The color drained from his features, his breathing sped up, and a look of confusion took over his features. "What are you saying?"

"Daniel, you're friends are most likely dead."

Danny realized that he was screaming. Everything was a blur as be fired a ghost ray at Vlad in the chest. He Morphed and became intangible, taking a deep breath, he flew through the wall and then straight up. He came up through the ground and rocketed upwards and unleashed his Ghostly Wail; the screeching sonic blast shattered the morning calm. He poured his anger and pain into the blast and as he drained himself of power, he began to revert to his human form, shreds of his ghostly form being torn from him as the Wail continued. Eventually, he had nothing left to give it, and he fell from the sky, hitting branches on his way down, and crashing violently into the ground. He wept. He screamed in sheer agony, not even feeling the newly broken collarbone. He couldn't control himself. Vlad, in his ghost form floated towards him, scooped the crying child up in his arms, and flew him back to the castle. Behind him was a smoking quarter mile of the smoking remains of the Wisconsin landscape.

And that's chapter two! Did anyone expect that? My killing off Sam and Tucker? Or that Vlad isn't actually behind the attack? Anything? Now, I know this chapter is short, but I have a reason. I plan on dividing chapters by events and perhaps POVs, but I haven't really decided if I want to break from the third person. If I get enough support for something like that though, you will definitely see dome first person action. Also, I know this chapter was short guys, I get that. And I am sorry. Again, I want to keep story elements separate if at all possible (for now) Next on the agenda, I am thinking about revisiting my old smuts and editing them a bit to make them sound less like a 13/14 year old wrote them, and more like a 16 year old wrote them XD. Let's see, anything else…? Oh yeah! How could I forget!? I got my first review today :D Shoutout to RASKOV. Thank you so much for the comment! I know it seems stupid, but to see such an immediate response was almost overwhelming. I appreciate it a lot :D And guys, I still need advice, I know its not much to work with yet, but I need it for this story to go well. So thank you for reading and yeah. Anticlimactic ending for the win! XD
