Growing Pains

Vlad loathed having to go to work these days. On the other hand, he did have to bring home the bacon and he did have to make an honest living for himself and his son. Even if their lives were anything but ordinary. He just despised leaving because it was so hard to leave for work because Daniel was continuously looking at him with those huge sky-blue eyes pleading with his Daddy not to leave him home alone.

He especially was attempting to circumvent it today. He had a significant conference today with some abroad investors that he'd asked Ian for a lot of help preparing for as he'd been too occupied the last few days helping Daniel master his powers, and making certain there were no monsters under the bed.

For a half ghost, his son was still a normal 3-year-old child, who was terrified of the dark and still wet the bed on occasions. Furthermore, didn't like the idea of 'monsters' prowling under his bed.

He was just getting his briefcase packed when his red ghost sense went off and he knew it was his son. Normally they didn't set each other's sense off except only when his son was in exceptional distress did it trigger as if to respond to his emotional distress. Looking up he saw the three-year-old standing in the doorway looking ready to cry. He was holding his favorite toy the stuffed badger in a Packer's jersey he had given him for his first birthday. He never went anywhere without that thing.

"Daniel? What's the matter?" he asked in a concerned tone looking at the little boy who was his pride and joy.

He was crying and ran up to him and hug him tightly cried. "Don't leave me alone, Daddy! When you go away I'm all alone! Please don't go!" wailed the little boy.

Daniel was already looking a lot more like Vlad thanks to his periodic injections. Seeing how his raven black hair was already in a short ponytail and his behavior and mannerism were like him. Though he didn't partake in his daddy's love of the Packers as he wasn't dressed in green and gold, rather he was dressed in black and white. In fact, all of his outfits were black and white. But to each his own.

"Daniel, please I'll only be gone for a couple of hours. I promise it won't be like last time when I was gone for a couple of days. That was a business trip. This is just going to the main office. I'll be home in time for dinner," as his father crouched to hug him tightly to comfort him.

"Who gonna read me stories? Finger paint with me? Play hide and seek?" the three-year-old wanted to know as he looked up at his father again with pleading sky-blue eyes.

'You know Nanny Anna will be taking care of you and the house while I'm gone. I expect you not to cause trouble for her. Let her get the housework done and you behave," he reminded his son in a firm voice.

"She can be mean!" countered the little half-ghost.

"Well, she did work for a king and his many children when she was alive remember? She is the same woman from "The King and I?" he snickered as they had just watched the video last week.

Needless to say, Nanny Anna hadn't been delighted by that portrayal of herself. The dramatization of her life she said was a far cry from how she literally lived. Not to mention she did plenty of other achievements than simply work for a king in her life as a human.

"I know, the cartoon version is better than real people," his son gave his opinion on his nanny's life even if that would've made her super mad to hear that.

"Everything better as a cartoon," chuckled his daddy as he patted his head, " Now please behave and I'll be back in a couple of hours. I'll bring a surprise back when I get home."

"Okay," the boy yielded. Kissing his forehead he smiled as they walked out of the master bedroom into the woman in question they'd been discussing.

Nanny Anna was an amazing nanny and housekeeper and came highly recommend. Though she did have in her contract every other weekend off, along with with holidays as well as two weeks of paid vacation twice a year.

When Anna wasn't working and he needed a babysitter he turned surprisingly to Pandora in the Ghost Zone. It was unexpected to discover the Ancient Greek Ghost was surprisingly good with children as long as they stayed away from her box. Which is why numerous other ghost parents with young children turned to her for babysitting purposes when they needed a night out.

She, of course, asked to be paid and had her own rules for her services, then again what babysitter didn't? Plus she was still from Ancient Greece so you had to take that into account how the Greeks were. Still, she was the top-quality babysitter in the whole Ghost Zone nevertheless.

After a final goodbye and Anna reminding him her check was due at the end of the week, he bid them adieu and left for work but not without thinking of the sad eyes of Daniel in his mind.


Vlad was driven to his main company offices where he was greeted instantly by his right-hand man Ian Kent who for some reason looked out sorts today. He normally was dressed impeccably and looked calm and confident but today he was anything but that. Truth be known he looked rather frumpy and absolutely in a state of panic.

"Ian! What's the matter?" Vlad demanded as he walked into the main company.

"What?" he looked like he was coming out of hyperspace.

"Ian? Is something wrong? Because this would be the wrong time for you to be out of sorts seeing how we are going to have our overseas meeting in a few short hours and I need my right-hand man to be in top form for it."

"I'm sorry, sir. I've everything ready on your desk waiting. I'll make certain that the represented from the robotics, genetics, chemistry are present. Also, you just acquired rights to a publishing company and a music studio that you wanted further knowledge on how to market their merchandises, correct?"

"Yes, I've some silent partners who are in the writing and music business and if we can turn a profit with up and coming authors and musicians with my silent partners we should do that. I would say it's a particularly wise expenditure.

Now, I was also to desire to look into branching into other areas to invest in and help them enhance their commodities including also at the same time improve the company model by going in a more green direction.

Which is one of the significant issues we must address at today's conference. Now do you have all the charts, diagrams and everything I'll need to explain for all this?" he inquired to his right-hand man who for once wasn't firing back immediately. It actually took him a few minutes.

"Umm, yes, I do. Let me just find them," he looked even more frazzled and after twenty minutes Vlad stopped him and asked, "Ian I know you better than anyone else. What is bothering you?"

"Bothering me sir?"

"Please, just get it off your chest now. So we can get it out of the way and move on with the meeting without further distractions?"

Looking around he asked, "You sure no one gonna walk in on us?"

"It's the boss office. I've had this room wired and guaranteed 100% privacy. Now, what's on your mind, Ian?"

Making sure the door was closed he reached into his suit's left pocket and pulled out a small velvet box and opened it to show a truly magnificent diamond ring. "Wow, that is one serious rock you got there. I know I strive to pay my employees decent wages but how did you afford that?"

Blushing, "It was my mother's engagement ring. She kept it in a safety deposit box back home. I told my parents I was planning on proposing to Stacey on our anniversary this weekend. She overnight it too me and if Stacey says yes my parents say they will pay for the wedding."

"Really? That's awfully generous of them, considering they have to spend so much taking care of your sister Piper."

"Well," he sighed, "My parents always promised they pay for their children wedding and had a special account set aside to pay for their children weddings. I mean there already a trust fund for Piper we keep putting money in, but the wedding fund also been built up for years as well."

"Well, I wish you the best of luck and know both me and Daniel will be at the wedding because I've no doubt Stacey gonna say yes."

"Thank you, Vlad, for the vote of confidence."

"You're welcome. Now Saturday is still five days away. So, for now, worry about how your gonna pop the question after work and help me get ready for our important meeting with the oversee investors okay?"

"Yes, sir."

Vlad couldn't help but feel some excitement for Ian as they went into the meeting and kept smiling as the monotonous meeting played out and it was being in that frame of mind, being happy for Ian and thinking of his son at home that made the meeting so prosperous.


When Vlad got home he was greeted by his son literally flying into his arms. Daniel was turning out to be a super fast flier. He was having a lot of trouble with turning at random time intangible but he was wicked fast at flying.

"Wow! You sure are getting faster! I don't think even I could go that fast when I first got my powers!"

"It's so much fun to fly Daddy! Other kids just ride Big Wheels when they want to go faster, I can fly!" he squealed as he spun him around.

"Yes, but you do know those gifts come with a price right, son?"

'Yes, Daddy I know," he was frowning now.

"I know you don't like getting them but it's the only way to keep you healthy and keep you from falling apart. After all no-one else in the world is like us. Furthermore, you know what would happen if anyone would find out about us?" he asked his son who replied instantly.

"Bad men would come and take us away and do all kinds of bad things to us. Like those bad people on TV. They cut us open and stick us in jars or something," Daniel replied as he shivered at the thought.

"Yes, they would and you know who is to blame for that? And who be the first in line to rip us apart for being who we are, right son?"

"Yes, the dummy Jack Fenton. The bad man who hurt you back in school. And if he ever found out what his dumbness did to you or me he hurt us and we never see each other again and it is worse then death," the child answered obediently.

Vlad smiled at his son's answer as he had told him as soon as he was old enough to understand who the bad guy was and who had hurt them both. He also made sure to remind Daniel of this twice a week so he not forget.

"Good boy. Now it's time for your shots."

"No! Please, Daddy, they hurt!" he cried as his father scooped him up and hugged him tightly.

"There, there, Daniel, I know you don't like them, but again you need them to be healthy. I promise after you get your shots we can go pig out on ice cream and watch your favorite cartoons all night long."

"Promise?" he stopped crying and his daddy nodded.

"Okay," as they went upstairs to a room that was Vlad's private medical room. This was sealed off from the rest of the castle so only he and Danny could get in. It was full of all kinds of medical equipment and other unusual items to assist with Danny's ghost serum along with other medical needs.

He set Danny down in the comfy medical chair and made sure he was holding his favorite toy tightly as he went to get the daily injection for the day. He filled up the syringe with the serum and made sure Danny's tiny arm was ready.

"Remember Daniel, think sunny thoughts so you don't feel this as it goes in, okay?"

"Like, stars, the moon, and Neptune?" he was asking as his father injected the serum into him without a problem as Daniel kept talking about space for a few more minutes.

"All done, son," as he put a space-themed band-aid on his boo-boo. Kissing it he sent Daniel to go get ready for dinner as he slides the rolling chair over to the computer where he kept his son's medical records.

"Let's see, everything is progressing well. There have been no ill side-effects from the serum such as serum-sickness. It seems his immune system is growing slightly stronger and other then he does need a little more iron things are turning out well for the human half.

Should make sure his ectoplasm antibodies and his white blood cells are still peacefully co-existing in case of infection. Need to do some blood test to see how they work together to fight a human illness or a ghostly virus to know how to treat it.

But that can wait for another day. Right now ice cream and cartoons are on tonight agenda as well as arranging a play-date for this weekend," smiling he saved the data and went to go pig out on ice cream and watch cartoons.


That Saturday Vlad's castle was overrun with ghost children for Daniel's playdate. He hoped he hadn't bitten off more then he could chew agreeing to watch all the ghost children so their parents could do their errands today.

Right now all the children were in the living room watching a Disney film on the giant flat screen TV and eating baked apples. He hoped this would keep them entertained for awhile while he worked on his laptop for work.

"Why did your Daddy have to choose "Snow white and seven dwarfs?" pouted Hunter who would've liked something with a little more action than a ridiculous dull fairytale. "I mean even the Huntsman not even a real hunter!" he whined loudly from his spot on the living room floor as he ate his baked apple. He wished they'd been allowed junk food and not this disgusting thing also.

A dainty hand hit Hunter's tiny cyborg body. His mother Huntress who again looked like a ghost version of Laura Croft; if she had flaming orange eyes and hair that was a full body ghost.

Meaning unlike his dad Skulker who was just a blob using an exoskeleton to get around she was a full-body kick ass sexy huntress like her name. Therefore the end result was he was a bit of a cyborg, but not in the disturbing sci-fiction way in the old movies. His face was like that of his father's face with his mother's eyes and hair and it looked like he got both his parents thrill of the hunt and violent aggression.

"Be quiet, you numskull! The Evil Queen who is totally prettier then that stupid Snow White about to concoct her evil plan to do away with her!" a little girl with vivid red hair, bright green eyes in a shocking pink outfit yelled at the cyborg rudely.

"Hey, Vanity, no need to be more of a meanie then that Queen who could be like your mommy!" said the green skin Arabian-like ghost in the lilac outfit sitting on the fluffy pillows on the right side of the room.

"Oh be quiet, Desire!" Vanity snapped back at her.

"Would you like me to grant your wish?" she retorted snippily.

"Do you two ever not fight? Even when we watch something that is mediocre in terms of technology?" asked an azure skin pink hair girl as she wiped her glasses.

"Why don't you stick a sock in it too, Techna!"

"Hey! Can't we all watch the movie in peace? I may be the Ghost of Time's daughter but even I can't rewind the tape without breaking it!" Prima warned them from her seat next to Danny.

"Yeah, can't we just watch the movie in peace? Please, guys?" Danny asked his friends who all sighed and went back to watching the movie.

If dealing with three-year-old ghost children just for a play date was hard enough try giving a half-ghost a time-out.


It was a year and a half later when Danny was four and a half. Nanny Anna was gone on her two-week break. Danny would be starting kindergarten in the fall in the Ghost Zone but for now, he was making the most of still getting to have fun making mischief around his home.

His Daddy was unavailable right now. He was in his home office doing boring work stuff talking with who he called his "Uncle Ian" and "Aunt Stacey". They had a baby of their own now; a little girl called Brooke and apparently she was ill. So they couldn't be at work and his father feeling bad for them and himself stayed at home to be with him. But first, he had to get through the boring paperwork.

His father had promised once he was done with his work they play chess, but waiting for him to be done was so hard! Moreover being four years old he had no patience at all. He wanted his daddy and he wanted him now!

"This isn't fair!" he pouted as he wandered to the main foyer of his home where his dad kept all his football stuff. He didn't understand why his daddy loved this stuff so much.

Sure he loved it when they spent time together watching the big men fight over the football and play because they spent time together, yet he wasn't as big a fan of it. He'd much rather be playing with his rocket ship and spaceman toys then watching the green and gold men all day.

Still, they were his daddy's favorite thing, well next to him, that is. Still, he just wished his daddy finish up work so they could play. He then realized he was right in front of the dumb football that his daddy said was his most prized possession.

He didn't think some old football was any big deal. It looked like a regular old dumb ball to him. So what was the big deal? And other kids were allowed to play with all kinds of balls why wasn't he allowed to play with this one?

Feeling mad that his daddy was still busy working and just annoyed that he wasn't allowed to touch the darn thing he deiced to play with it anyway. Of course, for a normal 4-year-old, it is too high up to get to. But he wasn't normal. He still hadn't perfected going from human to ghost quite yet. But he had a least mastered how to turn his legs into a ghost tail and fly.

Hence he just flew up and grabbed the ball and started playing with it. Like always his emotional state caused his powers to react in unexpected ways. The giddy little boy raven hair turned snow white and his sky-blue eyes turned brilliant green. It seemed his black and white t-shirt and shorts were striving to transform into a different outfit but weren't succeeding as they kept fizzling.

This went on for about twenty minutes till a wisp of blue smoke came out of the boy's mouth and he stopped what he was doing and looked up at the stormy face of his father. He'd his arms crossed and his eyebrows in a V-shape with a huge frown.

"Daniel Vlad Masters what do you think you are doing?" he asked in a calm voice, though it seemed he was screaming all the same.

"Playing?"

"With my autographed football? The ball you know you're not supposed to touch?"

"Umm..."

"Young man do you know what happens when you break a rule?"

"You say you're sorry?"

"Well, there that and it's good to apologize for a mistake, son. However, for every time you misbehave, you'll have to face the consequence of your actions. And depending on how bad they are will determine how I see fit to punish you."

"You really are gonna punish me?"

"Yes, you broke a rule deliberately and you shall face the consequence of your actions young man. You are gonna be in a time out for 15 minutes."

"That doesn't sound so bad."

"Oh, believe me, son, you're not gonna enjoy your time-out. Follow me right now," as the little boy shamefully followed his father upstairs to his father's upstairs lab and he pointed to a corner that had a chair waiting for him.

Danny went to the corner and then his father turned to the wall were a computer counsel was and hit a few buttons and a timer glowed 15:00 minutes. All of a sudden electric green energy walls went up around the corner forming a box keeping Danny in.

"What?! What's going on?!" he asked fearfully and in response tried to use his ghost powers only to find they weren't working and now he was extraordinarily afraid.

"This is a time-out young man. You are currently in a spectral energy neutralized space. Anything ghostly within the confined space is rendered null and void, other words son, you're totally human for the next 15 minutes.

I hope this will give you time to reflect on your actions and correct your behavior. Because every time you misbehave you'll find yourself in "Time-Out" and till the countdown timer finish the walls will not come down."

"So I'm trapped in here?!"

"For the next 15 minutes. I'll be back after time-out over to see if you learned anything from your actions," and he walked out leaving his son to reflect on his actions.

The next 15 minutes were the longest of young Danny's life and he felt helpless and extremely scared. Realizing how hard it was to be totally human at the same time thinking about why he was in time-out, to begin with.

Finally, his father returned just as time-out ended and he was free. His father did hug him after the walls came down and dried his sobbing eyes, "There, there, little badger, you're okay."

"That was so bad!"

"Well, if it was so bad, do you think you'll repeat your mistake?"

"No, I won't touch things I've not supposed to again, Daddy, I swear!"

"Good, now let's go play chess and then start working on you fully transforming to ghost so you'll be ready for school in the fall, shall we?"

"Yes!"


September came rather suddenly that year and soon it was the beginning of the new school year. This brought as much joy for some as it brought sorrow for others. 7-year-old Jazz was being driven to school in her family highly disturbing and ghastly car.

She was buckled into her seat with way too much overkill. But that the way her parents were ever since 'it' happened. Today was harder on her mother Maddie then her father who by all means need to stay focused on the road and not thinking about it or ghost!

Jazz often worried about her parents and their refusal to seek professional help. She was only in second grade and yet already was reading up on everything to do with psychology.

She had been reading big word books for 'adults' since she was four and was already feeling like she wasn't a child. Rather she had to be the adult and parent because her parents wouldn't get help.

It wasn't like what transpired five years ago wasn't affecting her too. But they do better as a family IF THEY TALKED ABOUT IT. She knew it was just eating at her parents and them using their sick obsession with a ghost instead of going to therapy wasn't going to help matters.

Not dealing with a problem or avoiding never made the problem go away. It only made it get worse. She'd been tempted more than once to try and figure out how to lure her parents to a therapist office and force them to talk about it.

Five years since Danny had been kidnapped. Five years without any development in finding him. Five years neither of her parents had ever really talked about it.

From her books that could only mean severe mental health problems like PTSD, depression and could lead to delusions. Even possibly drug and alcohol addiction or even suicide and she didn't want to lose her parents.

But again she was just supposed to be a little girl. How could she make them talk to the people they needed to talk to? Or get the help they needed to deal with something no one wants to deal with? The fact their child was kidnapped and disappeared without a trace?

Jazz just wished she could help but again didn't know how. She just thought how the cops had tried everything to find her brother and the lead detective had become pretty much a family friend.

It had seemed odd when she was two for her to understand that her mother's doctor and the kindly policewoman who was trying to find her brother were in a relationship, but now at seven, she was again cleverer furthermore wiser than most children her age.

She'd even taken to calling them Aunt Kate and Aunt Jackie since they'd become so close to her family and their adopted 5-year-old daughter Dominique was pretty much Jazz's only true friend. Jazz honestly didn't have any other friends as everyone else in town shunned her. Either because of her parents being the weirdos of Amity Park with their ghost hunting or because they didn't know how to deal with someone as intelligent as her. Also, everyone believed if they did associate with her they disappear too given what happened to her brother.

Consequently, Jazz was extremely alienated most of the time and if it wasn't for Dominique she wouldn't have a single friend at all. Still, she knew today she should've been enjoying Danny going to his first day of kindergarten. Furthermore seeing her parents excited about their son on the first day of school. Only they were just so out of it.

Dropping her off at school she made her way to where the kindergartners were to wait for Dominique as she promised too. The little girl wanted her 'big sister' there to take to into the school and make sure she was okay.

She quickly saw the little girl she was looking for. A little girl with creamy skin, long braided auburn hair, large turquoise eyes with a beauty mark under her left eye. She was dressed in a long-sleeved mauve shirt, khakis, and tan boots.

"Jazzy! Jazzy! Hey!" she called out as she saw her approach and ran into her open arms.

"Hello, Dominique, how are you today?"

"Je Le fais bien!"

"You're doing great?" Jazz translated the little girl's french.

'Yes, sorry, I know I should use English" she flushed and Jazz shook her head, "You should be proud you can speak so many languages at such a young age. That means you're quite intelligent to know how to speak English, French, Hindi, and Swedish. Be proud of that. Be proud of your family."

"Thank you. You sure other people are not gonna be nasty to me because I have two mommies?"

"Well, my mommy and daddy fight ghost so not like I'm 'normal' either. But I'll be here if you need me. C'mon let's get you to your classroom and then I've to get to my own classroom. But I'll see you at lunch and recess."

"Okay!" taking her hand and she led the little girl to her classroom and silently thinking, "Danny wherever you are, I hope you are having a good first day of school."


Danny was currently attending his first day of Ghost Zone School as his father took him to kindergarten at Enchantra Elementary. It looked exactly like what you expected a normal school to look like really. Except for a ghostly version and the school was just floating in the middle of a green swirling energy landscape.

But all the other parents were holding their children's hands who were dressed in their best clothes and holding paper bag lunches. There were pictures being taken, everyone gushing how grown up their children were, how they couldn't wait for them to come home and tell them how their first day of school was. The kindergarten teacher was a plump, friendly-faced woman with frizzy red hair, cyan skin and in tartan pattern dress and spoke with an Irish accent.

"Don't worry about anything. The wee ones will be just fine. I'll make sure the little darlings will be just fine," she assured the parents as they all left even though Vlad was extraordinarily concerned about Danny.

He had only just finally gotten transforming into his ghost half right. Right now as a ghost his hair and eyes were snow white and green and his outfit was a black t-shirt under white overalls with a D and M on the chest. Still, like every other parent he just had to hope for the best for his little badger and wish him a good first day of school.

"Okay children calm down. Everyone calm down!" called out the teacher and presently everyone settled down and the Irish Ghost smiled widely at her newest students. It was always a joyous moment in her life to see new minds to start filling with knowledge. Therefore the first day of the school year was her favorite day of the year.

"Thank you. Now my name is Wilful Ashurst and I'll be your teacher for your first year of school. Now the first thing we are going to do is properly get acquainted with one another.

Then we are going to learn the Ancient Laws that you will now be bound too now that you are of school age. And from there we shall learn what you need to know for the basics. So everyone please get in a circle."

Circle Time went pretty well given they all were friends already given their parents already knew each and thus they knew one another. Still, it at least helped their new teacher learn about them.


Then it was time to learn about the Ancients along with the Ancient Laws they were bound too now they were able to be held accountable for their actions.

This was almost like learning the Pledge of Allegiance as children learn in human schools. As they were made to recite the names of the Ancients and their laws in both song and games.

After being read from pop-up books and sing-along about the history of the Ancients then it came time to understand the Ancient Laws and there were many of them but they had to remember them all for their entries lives were bound by these laws.

The Ancient Laws of the Ghost Zone.

1. Everyone will respect each other boundaries. Meaning everyone has their own home and space that their own and the other ghost will respect their boundaries and space. Like how here on Earth we can't trespass or things of that nature.

2. Every Ghost is allowed a certain amount of Ghostly Money per month and it's illegal to steal money or exceed that amount by any means not approved by the Ghost Bank and the Miser. Like how we are supposed to obey our own financial rules and not commit fraud.

3. All Ghost Children are required to attend each of the ghost schools and obey the rules of their schools.

ghost kid can be out after curfew which is the Ghost Zone hour of 10:00

5. Birthday Truce. Same rules on a ghost's birthday as Christmas. Meaning on that ghost's birthday no one can harm them or do violence and at their birthday party, they must be truly treated as a guest of honor.

6. Christmas Truce we know that one

7. All Forbidden Locations are forbidden for a reason and are made well known from the earliest age and why people aren't to venture there.

8. Love Laws. All relationships are accepted in the ghost zone and marriage is legal to anyone unlike earth and wedding days are also truce days.

9. Zero Tolerance- can't bring illegal human stuff like drugs, alcohol or smokes or other truly dangerous items back to the ghost zone from the human world.

10. Ghost Children become Legal adults like humans at age 18.

11. There is a Ghost court of justice which is used in extreme cases but again only in extreme cases if the ancient laws are broken only.

Their teacher informed them they would go over these laws and the Ancients every day till they had it down by heart. But they would also learn other things as well just like any other person in kindergarten. But these things were the most critical thing for them to learn.


So that's what Danny's first day of school was like. Pretty much going to Ghost Zone school was a lot like human school other than instead of P.E., The young ghosts were taught how to control their diverse capabilities which were different for every ghost.

The rest of Danny's childhood was relevantly average as one could anticipate apart from the ghost powers. He and his friends did a lot of ordinary things. They learn to read, write and other normal school topics while they master their unique powers.

They played video games, read comics books, played sports, went on outings with their parents, saw movies and hung out. Got in and out of trouble. Had a few vacations. Discovered the joys of what the internet could do for them. Were all ecstatic when they were old enough to have money of their own to burn. Tried to do their homework.

Plus his ghostly friends also worked on various ways they could pass for a human to come to visit him in the human world for short periods of time and hang out at the castle which had all the things a rich kid would be spoiled with.

The only human kid Danny knew was Brooke and while she was a friend he really wanted a friend that didn't happen to be someone he already knew because of she the child of his dad's best employees.

Also as Danny grew up his powers only got stronger as he too masters them though he still had to extremely careful if humans who rarely came to the house were around.

All in all Daniel Vlad Masters' childhood was a truly happy and delightful one all around and he wouldn't have traded it for anything. He had no way of knowing other people weren't having such joyous childhoods. No, not at all.
