Warnings: Insanity, Amnesia, Confusion
Pairings: DxP, Vlad x Phantom+Danny (fatherly)
Chapter 4
Vlad took a walk in the woods that surrounded his mansion. The Wisconsin air was cold with the soon-to-be winter weather. He saw a few bird fly off of the pine branches and fly south, freely.
--
Phantom saw a group of cardinals fly south. Danny was on his back humming, the tune of Fly. Personally, Phantom didn't like Hilary Duff, but whatever made Danny responsive was fine.
The birds were flying south, and Phantom and Danny were flying north.
--
Vlad flew above the forest in his ghost form. He liked seeing the paths that he had paid people to make. If anyone looked down at the patterns and lines, they would see a flower. Of course, his workers didn't know that. Only Vlad would.
"AH!!!!" "AH!!!!"
Vlad looked up a pair of green eyes and a pair of blue eyes before the two flying... things sent all three of them careening down to the ground. Luckily they only hit a few branches before landing in a clearing about 300 yards from the mansion.
Vlad stood up angrily, his red eyes glowing menacingly. His arms were cut from the branches, but all together, he was quite fine... except for getting flung to the ground. "What on Earth were you thinking, you-- Daniel?!"
Danny was on top of Phantom, both boys having cuts on their arms and on their heads. Vlad bent down next to the boys, who had both sat up, and returned to his human form. Danny was crying, with Phantom trying to calm him down.
Phantom held Danny's head, making him look into the ghost's eyes. They glowed and Danny's eyes became glazed. The boy fell asleep against his lover and brother. Phantom turned to Vlad.
"Daniel?"
"Danny's Daniel. I'm just Phantom." Phantom looked at Vlad in confusion, no recognition flashing across his eyes.
"Phantom, do you know who I am?"
The boy's eyes lit up a few moments later. "Of course, Father."
Phantom smiled, Danny dreamt, and Vlad wished that he wasn't so worried so he could enjoy this victory.
Three birds watched from above: a dove, a raven, and an eagle.
