"Danny!" A voice calls from the surrounding forest. He turns in the direction it came from.
"Who's there?!" He calls.
"Danny! Come on!" The voice calls again.
He stands there for a moment, deciding whether or not to go after it. Oh, what the heck? Why not? Danny runs in, his senses on high alert as he runs deeper and deeper into the forest.
"I think he's coming!" The voice yells on Danny's right side.
He turns towards the sound and several moments later runs into a clearing. He looks around. I don't understand. That voice sounded like it should have been right here.
"Danny!" The voice yells in his ear.
Danny sits up, a yell escaping through his lips. He looks around, the familiar sight of his room confusing him. I was...I was dreaming?
"Jazz, I told you to stop yelling." Maddie says, walking into Danny's room and sitting beside him on his bed. "How are you feeling, Danny?"
"I feel...fine. How long have I been asleep?" He asks.
"Just a few hours, dear. Not too long. Your friends were here when we got back so I told them what happened. They were really worried about you, but I told them that they should probably go home."
"What happened after I passed out?"
"I pulled you into the van, while mom and dad kept Vlad away." Jazz answers.
"Danny, we told you to stay in the house and not fight Vlad. What were you doing?" Maddie asks.
"Mom, you have to believe me. I didn't leave the house. He came to me."
Maddie closes her eyes for a moment. "Then we have a big problem, Danny. Vlad won't stop trying to hurt you until you're gone. You have to hide somewhere. Some place that me and your father won't even know where you're at. That way if Vlad gets us we won't be able to tell him where you're at."
"No, mom! I'm not leaving! I won't leave the town when it's in danger." Danny yells, trying to get up.
Maddie pushes him gently back onto the bed. "Danny, I'm just saying. I love you. You're my little boy and I don't want to see you hurt. Even if you are a better ghost fighter than me."
Danny looks up at his mom. "You really mean that?"
"Of course, Danny."
Danny smiles. "Thanks, mom."
Maddie smiles back. "Get some sleep." She says as her and Jazz leave the room. "Good night."
"Good night, mom." Danny says as Maddie closes the door.
"You didn't really mean that, did you mom?" Jazz says quietly, a smile on her face and her arms crossed in front of her.
"Every word." Maddie says. "Except the part about him being the better ghost hunter. Everyone knows that Maddie Fenton is the best ghost hunter in the world. But Danny is pretty good too." She says smiling.
