This is really late.. I do have reasons, but I don't think you care for them anyway. What matters is that I'm fine, and the new chapter is here. And also, the last chapter was uploaded in a bit of a hurry.. so I totally forgot to thank everyone who reviewed. Thank you to everyone who did!

I also want to give a shoutout to sKaEtrgrL, thank you for your review, I'm glad you like it! I really want you guys to check out their stories, they're really good :D

With that said, let's get into the story.

Chapter 4 - Alone

How long have I been flying?

Danny had lost track of time, once again.

I should be far away enough.

He stopped once again, and this time he was more careful about which island he landed on.

He found a small one, too small for any ghosts to really want to live there.

He sat down on the ground as he once more turned human.

Now what? Where am I supposed to go?

He laid down on the ground, thinking about this.

He did have friends in the ghost zone, but he didn't want to be a burden to them.

He knew that a lot of ghosts would be happy to help him, but that was the problem.

Take Frostbite for example, he would do anything for Danny.

But I don't want to completely rely on him, I've already done that in the past.

No, he needed to get through this on his own.

After all, it was his own fault that he had gotten into this situation in the first place.

He was the one who had decided to reveal his secret to his parents...

My parents

His eyes started to tear up when he thought of them.

He saw their faces when they looked at him. Their eyes were filled with hate, and it was directed towards him.

My parents hate me.

And with that thought, he closed his eyes and passed out from the exhaustion of the day's events.

All around me, all I see is darkness.

Wherever I turn, there is nothing.

I feel bad, it's like there's a heavy weight hanging from my heart.

I try to move, but I can't.

There are invisible chains holding me back, keeping me in one spot.

I want to call for help, but I can't. There's something restricting my throat from making a single sound.

Then I stop to think.

Who would I call for?

I had abandoned everyone back home.

Home.

Could I even call it that?

The house of the people who used to call themselves my parents, who hated me when they learned what I truly was.

I force myself to think of the others, my sister, my best friends.

No.

They probably hate me to by this point.

Of course, they always did.

They pretended to be my friends, that they loved me, but none of them ever did, did they?

It was all an act, and now I'm all alone in an unknown place in an unknown world.

I have no one.

Danny woke up with a start, sitting up instantly.

He was still on the island.. Had he fallen asleep?

Was that a dream?

It had felt so real..

And what if t was?

At least, what if those thoughts were real?

Why else would I have dreamt them?

Did that mean.. Did his parents, his sister, his friends.. Did they really hate him?

No

He wouldn't think like that, he knew it wasn't true.

Pushing those thoughts aside, he looked around, and realized that while he was on the same island as before, the island had floated around quite a bit, and he wasn't in the same area of the ghost zone.

He decided to move again.

He had more enemies than friends in the ghost zone, so it was risky to stay in one place.

He changed into his ghost-form, and floated up.

This flight was calmer, since he wasn't in a rush to get to, or away from anything.

After about an hour of flying aimlessly through the ghost zone, trying but failing to come up with a plan, Danny saw it.

In the distance, he could see the solution to his problems.

He would be able to fix everything, get a second chance at explaining everything, and everything would be as it should be.

With newfound excitement, he sped up and flew towards the clocktower in the distance.

End of Chapter 4 - Alone

So this chapter was the most depressing one yet, but it had to be done.

I think we all know what it was Danny saw there at the end, and I don't have much to say except that the next chapter is going to be the last one, but also a very important one. It's probably going to take a lot of time, but summer vacation will officially start for me this friday, so I'll have a lot more time to write!

Thanks for reading this chapter!
