I don't own the series or character, but I do own the plot.
On to Chapter 3!
GHOSTS! GHOSTS! GHOSTS!
Vlad blinked. "What?" I looked down to the floor and shook my head.
"Never mind," If Vlad had a response like that to my statement then it's obvious that we don't know each other.
But then why would I have this feeling in the pit of my stomach? It was telling me that I SHOULD know who he is, and not just his name! Then there's a that power coursing through my veins! Am I just high on drugs or something or is there really something there? If I don't figure any of this out then I'm going to go insane, I just know it!
Vlad stood for a while, just studying Danny with an extreme curiosity. Who exactly was this boy? There is no possible way that he could be human if his eyes had flashed colors, right? So how was Vlad going to go about testing his theory?
He didn't want to make the boy angry, not on purpose at least. Not even a slight teasing would end well since Vlad and Danny don't know each other very well. So what's left? Vlad could either simply ask, or catch Danny doing a ghostly act. There's also the possibility of worming it out of him through simple violence, but there's no way that would end well also.
This was when a chilly blue mist flew out of Danny's mouth involuntary.
"Oh good, you two met!" Exclaimed a cheery red-headed woman, probably in her twenties, as she entered the room. She wore a bright red suit with a short red skirt and long sleeves.
Both Vlad and Danny stared at her in shock. Vlad's gaze slowly turned to Danny as his wheels turned. What in the world was that? Danny, meanwhile, was busy wondering the same exact thing along with why he felt like he should attack the woman before she got any closer and suck her into a thermos…Wait- why a thermos?
"My name is Penelope Spectra, but you can just call me 'pal'." She went on with an undying cheery attitude.
"If it's all the same to you, I'd rather stick to Miss Spectra." Vlad finally turned his gaze back to the eccentric woman.
"M-me too!" Penelope looked disappointed, if only for a second.
"Well that's just dandy, but the offer will stand since I'll be getting to know you both for a while, especially YOU Danny." Danny gulped. "I'm going to be your counselor for your duration here. Isn't that wonderful!"
Neither Vlad nor Danny knew what to say, all the understood was that Penelope Spectra is a threat, and they didn't even know why.
"Now I would like to start my first session, Vlad. And I so hope that you don't mind, but I have to kick you out of your room for a while," Vlad tried to look indifferent to this, but he felt uneasy about leaving Danny alone with her. Then again, why should he be nervous about leaving them alone together? What's the worst that could happen?
GHOSTS! GHOSTS! GHOSTS!
It was about an hour later that Vlad was finally allowed back into his room. His curiosity for Danny and Penelope only grew in that whole hour, and his dislike for her strengthened when she patted him on the shoulder and he got dizzy. As soon as he stepped back into his room he knew that something was definitely wrong.
"Hey," he called out to Danny who sat with his head resting on his knees on a chair next to the window that overlooked the park behind the hospital and the cemetery. He didn't miss the look a depression mixed with longing in Danny's eyes as he looked up towards the sky outside.
"Hey," Danny's reply was barely audible.
Well, it is official. Vlad is completely baffled. What was it that made Danny so…downhearted?
"What's up?" he felt that it was a casual enough question. Danny snickered. "What's so funny?" Vlad pulled up a chair across from Danny and sat.
"I just woke up how long ago to learn that I have no memory and you're asking me 'what's up'?" Danny glared at the people below. "I'm in a hospital with no known family and friends, what do you think is up?" he snapped. For a minute Vlad was irritated with Danny for snapping at him, when he only asked a question! But then again, he should have known.
"Sorry," he muttered.
"Whatever." Vlad sniffed and leaned back into his chair to be in a more casual position.
"I was just asking you know, just trying to be nice since we'll probably be stuck with each other for a while." Danny smiled wryly.
"Sure, you just want to know something about me and are trying to be sneaky about it!" he accused. "Well sorry buddy, but I don't know anything!" Danny pulled his head away from his knees and sat cross-legged.
"Then you don't know why a blue mist escaped from your mouth, or why your eyes just flashed green for the second time today?" Danny felt as if the air had been knocked out of him.
"W-what?"
"That's right, I saw!" Danny looked away from Vlad, thinking to himself. "Do you have any idea as to why that happens? Any at all?"
"I don't know what's wrong with me."
"Daniel, I'm sure that there's nothing wrong with you. I'll help you figure it out if my help is needed." Let's just say that Vlad REALLY wanted to know what Danny was.
"Nothing wrong with me? I'm sorry Vlad, but are you really hearing what I'm saying? I don't remember a thing! I feel like I know you and Miss Spectra, and feel like I should be shooting you, not talking to you! I feel as if I've been here before, and that I've seen you before! I feel as if there's a whole world, other than this, that I'm missing and that I shouldn't be here right now!" Danny jumped up from his seat and leaned towards Vlad. "I feel as if there's this-this power in me and that I'm going to explode if I don't do something with it!" Danny stomped his foot, but instead of the "That was all I needed to confirm my suspicion."
"What suspicion?" Danny looked at his foot and the floor in an attempt to piece together just what occurred.
"Danny, you're a ghost."
GHOSTS! GHOSTS! GHOSTS!
Penelope Spectra makes her entrance and exits leaving behind an irritateable Danny. Vlad attempts to make nice with Danny and ends in a bit of a fight leading to Vlad's suspicion being proven.
What will happen next? We'll find out in 'time'.
