Chapter 3: Truth
Tuesday morning
It's now been almost a week since Ethan's return and Danny's relationship with him was getting back to the way it was before he left. He had spent the entire week trying to he with Ethan as much as he could. Ever since the first time he disappeared he's feared that Ethan would leave him again and he didn't want that. He was sitting outside the school at a table waiting for Ethan to show up but he never did. The warning bell started ringing and he thought about calling Ethan but then decided not too. Grabbing his stuff he got up and headed inside the school.
Ethan pulled into his normal parking spot next to his brother in the school's parking lot. Aidan wanted to help the others with their problem but all Ethan wanted to do was be with Danny. Helmet under his arm he got off his bike and made his way inside. He locked onto Danny's heartbeat and went right to his first period class. Peering inside the classroom he saw Danny sitting the back with his head in a book.
Danny could somehow feel someone watching him and when he looked up from his book he saw that he was right. Ethan was standing outside the classroom and motioning for him to come outside so he said he had to use the restroom and left the classroom. "Hey, where were you last night?" He asked as soon as he was outside of the classroom.
Ethan grabbed his hand and led him away from the classroom. "I'm sorry I know I should have called but something came up." Even though the halls were empty and quiet he kept his voice low.
"I thought something had happened to you." Danny says leaning against the lockers.
"Sorry it's just been crazy the past few days." Ethan says taking Danny's hand. "I am sorry about last night though because I really did want to be with you."
Danny sighed. "It's alright."
Ethan suddenly heard footsteps coming down the hall. "Someone's coming." He whispered.
Danny looked around but didn't see or hear anything. "What do you mean, I don't see or hear anything."
"Trust me." Ethan says.
Danny nodded. "Alright then I guess I'll see you later." He started to walk off but Ethan still had his hand. "Are you going to give me my hand back?"
Ethan walked up to Danny and pulled him into a kiss. "Come to my place after school, we need to talk about something."
Danny sighed but nodded. "Alright." Ethan kissed him once more before backing away.
"I love you." Ethan says.
Danny smiled. "I know, I love you too." After Ethan disappeared down the hall he turned and started to head back to class but he bumped into another teacher. "Sorry I did see you."
"Don't worry about it." He said. "Just get to class."
Danny thought it was strange how Ethan heard him but not him. Shrugging it off he walked pass the teacher and went back to class.
After school
Danny was sitting in the parking lot of Ethan's apartment building. He had no idea what Ethan wanted to talk to him about and he was a little scared. Taking a deep breath he got out of his car and made his way inside. When he reached Ethan door he just stood there, staring at it. Just as he was about to knock it opened. "Aidan?"
"I thought you were going to stand out here forever." Aidan says letting go of the doorknob and folding his arms.
"How did you even know that I was out here?" Danny asked.
"Um I was looking out of the peep hole watching you watch the door." Aidan quickly says. Truth was he heard Danny coming from all the way down the hall. "Well I'm leaving so good luck."
Danny watched him go and wondered what he meant by good luck. Turning back towards the door he found Ethan standing there, he smiled. "Hey?"
"Hey?" Ethan says. "Come on in?"
Danny walked inside and did a quick scan of the living room. "Never thought I'd see the inside of this place again."
Ethan closed the door and walked over to where Danny was. He could hear Danny's heartbeat slowly picking up and frowned. The fact that Danny was nervous made him even more afraid to tell him the truth. "Come on, let's go to my room." Taking his hand they walked back to Ethan's room and sat on the bed.
"What's going on Ethan?" Danny asked. Wiping his sweaty hands on his jeans.
"I need to tell you something but I don't know where to start." Ethan replied.
"Just start from the beginning." Danny says looking over at him.
One hour later
Danny and Ethan were still seated quietly on the bed staring at the floor. Ten minutes had passed before either of them had said anything to each other. Ethan continuously found himself looking over at him, hoping he would say something but nothing and now he was really starting to get scared. Ethan got up and walked across the room, leaning against the wall he sighed. "Danny, what are you thinking about right now?"
"All this is kind of heard for me to believe right now." Danny says still looking down.
Ethan then understood what he had to do. "Danny, I need to show you something."
"I don't want to see it Ethan." Danny says. "Besides I've seen teen wolf the movie so its not like I need too."
"That was just a movie, this is real." Ethan says. "Let me show you, look at me."
Danny kept his view the ground a few seconds before looking over at Ethan. His eyes were glowing light blue, he now had facial hair, fangs and claws. He couldn't look away from him.
Ethan could hear Danny's heartbeat get even faster and he started to go back over to him but the slightest move from Danny made him stop, he was scared. "Danny?"
"I have to go." Danny says still looking at him. He watched as Ethan's face returned to normal and quickly got to his feet.
Ethan found himself biting his bottom lip and he nodded. "Yeah." He didn't move from his spot as Danny left his room and left his apartment.
Later that night
Aidan returned to the apartment he shares with his brother and found it dark and quiet. The only light he saw came from Ethan's room so he headed there. Opening the door he found Ethan lying on his bed staring up at the ceiling like he was fixated on something. "I take it that it didn't go so well with Danny." He didn't get an answer from him so he walked farther into the too and sat in the chair at the computer. "How much did you tell him?" He asked leaning forward in the chair.
Ethan sighed. "Everything."
Aidan nodded. "Did he say anything afterwards?"
Ethan sat up and shook his head. "No, he just got up and said he had to go so I let him."
"I wish there was something I could do." Aidan says.
"You cant do anything, I just have to wait for him to come to me when he's ready." Ethan says laying back down.
Aidan got up, left his brothers room and went to his own. Just as he did he got a phone call from Lydia. "Hey I was just going to call you, I need your help with something."
...
Danny was just getting home when he found his mother sitting on the couch watching TV. "Hey mom, how was work?"
"Good." Marcy says putting the TV on mute. "What's going on with you?"
Danny shook his head. "Nothing, why do you ask?"
"Just by way you walked in I knew something was wrong." Marcy patted the cushion next to her. "Come on, let's talk."
Danny always hated the fact that his mother could read him like a book but considering that it's been just the two of them since he was six apart of him didn't think it was so bad. In fact he loved how close he was to her and how he could tell her anything and she would always understand. He didn't know if telling her what Ethan had just told him was a good idea though. Closing the door he sighed and sat next to her but didn't say anything.
"Spill it." Marcy says sitting back on the couch. "Is this about Ethan, everything okay?"
Danny laid his head back and closed his eyes. "Yeah it's about Ethan."
Marcy frowned. "What is it, a few nights ago you two looked so happy together?"
"We were but something came up and now I don't know anymore." Danny says. "He told me some things, some good some bad and one particular thing that has me a little freaked."
"Can you tell me about it?" Marcy asked.
"It's nothing that you should really worry about mom." Danny said looking over at her. "But I promise that if anything comes up I'll come tall to you about it."
"Are you sure?" Marcy asked.
Danny thought about it then nodded. "Yeah, it's getting pretty late so I'm going to bed." He leans over and kissed his mom on the cheek before getting up and heading to his room. "I love you!"
Marcy smiled. "I love you too." She turned back to the TV but couldn't stop worrying about her son.
Turning on the light to his bedroom he looked around before walking inside and sitting on his bed. Pulling out his cellphone he saw that he had a missed call from Ethan and one from Lydia as well. Turning off his phone he laid down and closed his eyes, he fell asleep two minutes later.
