Hellbreaker, for someone who likes Vampires like I do I couldn't wrap my mind around that series. I understand. Now the Black Dagger Brotherhood was awesome. The vampires had emotions and changed in their outlook on the world. Very good series and I need to catch back up on it. ShadowDragon357, I believe that there is truly no way for her to stay with Dan, but it does make an awesome storyline adding him into the story. One day I may make them together. pirateking1998, thank you. Sometimes doing that can be hard, but I felt that we needed to see what happened in that month that he was gone. Thanks for the reviews.


Present...

Danny now sat in his room, his eyes staring off in to space as he relived what he had seen just minutes ago. Was she really that depressed and if so why hadn't he seen it? That was something that as a close friend he should have seen! Knocking a hole into the wall next to him he flopped back onto his bed with a groan.

Present...

Danny currently sat in his room, his eyes staring off in to space as he relived what he had seen just minutes ago. Was she really that miserable and if so why hadn't he seen it? That was something that as a close friend he should have seen! Knocking a opening into the wall next to him he flopped back onto his double bed with a grunt.

"I am such an idiot!" he growled just seconds before azure mist slipped from between his lips.

"Yes, yes you are," a voice stated. Danny looked up to find himself staring into Dan's crimson eyes. "Not to blame entirely for it though. You are rather immature after all." Danny sat up with a glare and then he remembered what had happened on the streets and his glare faded even as he held onto the anger he felt.

"Why aren't you with Sam?" he grumbled out. The grown-up version of him chuckled. "What's so amusing?"

"You," Dan said simply. "You and your sentiments. I never remembered it being so hard as a adolescent and now I watch me as an adult that I never got the chance to really be and I find that it is just as comical. You are so warped in your emotions that you still can't figure it out."

"What do you mean?" Dan just looked down at the dark haired person in amusement and yet there was another emotion in his crimson eyes.

"Was I really that daft? It just makes sense to me and not to you?" Dan smacked his face, his eyes slanting at the younger version of himself.

"Just spit it out," Danny hissed as color entered his cheeks in discomfiture.

"You feel affection for Sam and you just keep taking on a new girl in hopes that she will make you stop thinking about it. Just get over it! I don't comprehend you and you are me for fucks sake!" the large male growled in frustration as he turned from Danny. "I want to assist you even as I want the Goth girl myself, but even I am not dim enough to believe that I can stay with her as I will depart this life regardless. That would cause her more hurt than the pain of me just leaving her. I would rather she have the individual she wants even if you were dim-witted enough to hurt her with your lack of common sense." Danny was turning redder with each word that left his older half's mouth, but he stayed quiet as the words he was relaying made him think. Sam wanted him?

"Why would you help me? You don't even like me!" Dan turned, a smirk on his face.

"I did abhor you, but all those years in that stupid thermos gave me time to come to terms with my outlook on life. I was able to sort through my feelings."

"I thought you had no feelings," Danny stated with hesitation. Dan's grin grew wider, his fangs flashing in the dim lighting of the space.

"You two even think in the same manner," he said with a chuckle. "I can't think for the life of me why I couldn't get close to Sam as a teen, but then that stupid catastrophe happened and I was left alone. We were left alone and then you were stupid enough to be taken in by that bastard." Danny could tell that his older half was going back in time, his feelings coming to the surface.

"I saw some of what happened," the dark haired halfa clarified. Dan turned from the halfa below him as he floated down.

"Yeah, well, seeing it and knowing what happened is an entirely different thing," the white haired ghost stated, his voice cracking with emotion. "When I saw it I was devastated and to recognize that it was my fault was just something that I didn't want to reflect about."

"I, um…" Dan turned on him so quickly, his eyes flashing green before reverting to red.

"I don't want you sympathy!" he bellowed. "I am just telling you that what you saw was like watching a movie. There is no real emotion to watching a movie unlike participating in it!"
