I leave an extra chapter! For these holiday days.
Happy holidays, I send you a hug and I hope you have a great time.
P.S. I leave the link of the cover that ALLYPHANTOMRUSH did for me, because in this view only LENNA and DANNY are seen in their human and phantom form. Follow her, she's super talented. allyprushdrawings/photos/a.331519350512367/814345855563045/?type=3&theater
I know that surely there will be some mistakes in writing and spelling, as I'm sure you realized English is not my natural language, so if someone could help me improve it, I'd really appreciate it. You could also have the chapter before, think about it hahaha.

DANNY
Jazz was in front of me and she bit her lip, she looked nervous and could see in her tearful eyes that she felt guilty, but why? My head ached, the nausea and vertigo forced me to keep my eyes fixed on the floor, I knew that my parents, Lenna, Anton and Danielle were in the basement, but I could not get close to them.
-The situation with the NSA is getting complicated, they want to go check the house- Tucker murmured -I'm trying to close the access for diplomatic immunity, but ... -
-Do what you have to do-
-What do you think he's doing? - Jazz demanded, but her tone was hesitant
-Tucker will not be able to stop them; they are more interested in what happened in your house than in Vlad's mansion ... -
-What do you know about that, Valerie? - The brunette put her hand on my shoulder -They did a very superficial review, they all wanted to be assigned to your house ... They suspect that you are involved with "The Legion ..." -
-We thought he was- I shivered from the column, Anton had his clothes full of blood and his tattoos seemed even more intense because of his pallor -I need to talk to you, now ... -
-You can do it in front of... –
-It's an order- He interrupted Jazz, without looking at her.
-I understood- The vertigo made me lean against the wall; Valerie stood next to me to hold me and Jazz opened his mouth to reply -It's my commander ...-
-Danny, you cannot...! -
- Stop meddling in my affairs - I cut Tucker. I let go of Valerie's arm and followed Anton to the basement stairs.
-Alpha says that the best thing is that you take the NSA to the basement and give them Anna's body... -
-How ... - I felt a jumble in my stomach -But ... -
-You will say that Lenna and Anna attacked you, that they were frantic, mad, that they were fighting each other; we need them to believe that they are infected... You will say that Lenna killed her ... -
-But…-
-You don´t think, it's an order- Antón sighed angrily and scratched his head -If it were up to me I would avoid giving Lenna more hunting, but ... it's the best ... -
- I don't know what happened, I ... - I stuttered clenched my fists
-You don't have to give explanations, at least not to me ...- His voice was tense and uncomfortable. -I appreciate Lenna and Anna coming to the call, Danielle and I could ... It doesn't matter if I didn't survive, but ... I couldn't allow something would happen to my Dani ... I shouldn't have listened to her, I knew it was risky to use the ghost portals ... But she wanted so much to come with her family that I was stupid…- He pressed his palm against his forehead with force -Sierra attacked us. I tried to contain her, but ... She is very strong ... I asked Danielle to release the alarm, Lenna arrived a minute or two later ... but... She looked so deteriorated ... Her attacks were erratic and with a single blow Sierra made blood flow from her abdomen, to her legs ... Danni pounced on her and Anna arrived shortly after ... –
-If I had…-
-But you wasn't- Anton put his hand on my shoulder and sighed before returning to the entrance of the house..

LENNA
-They're going to start a hunt against you, is that what you want? -
-Yes-
-I do not understand you- Jack grumbled, releasing a light tap on the desk. -They already have Sierra in their sights ...-
-Yes, but not Antón, not Danielle and still doubt your son's intentions- I replied -They were coordinated attacks on both accesses to the ghost zone, I need everyone to be free to find out who the hell wanted to enter or leave and why... -
-How do we know you did not do it ... -
-Maddie, you cannot... -
-I don't need you to trust me- I interrupted them trying to stop a potential discussion between the Fentons -I really prefer that you were not involved in any way ... But given the circumstances and that this happened in your territory ... I need you to agree as quickly as possible ... –
Jack snorted and crossed his arms again. He was like a child, passionate, unconscious, unconcerned, but firm to the ideal whose framework seemed to be available only to him.
-Tell us what you need and we will talk with Tucker, Jazz and Sam ... Daniel will take care of Valerie- Madeline murmured with a brief smile. She was even more disconcerting, because her rationality and intelligence seemed to take a back seat, as if she believed firmly in the playful logic of her husband.
-What will happen to Danielle? -
-It is better that Anton and she disappear from here- I looked at my watch, it had been almost seven minutes since we had entered through the ghost portal, we had at most two or three minutes before they burst into the property -Anton will take good care of her, If he was not the best, I would not leave him in charge of her- I continued to see the consternation in their faces -What I need now, is that they are the best ghost hunters... Go for Daniel and Anton, do not waste any more time-

DANNY
Anton, my mother and I went down to the basement. Lenna had transformed into her phantom form and I quickly corroborated what Anton had told me, the color of her black eyes was muted, her alabaster skin that usually shone, looked haggard and slightly cracked, it was hard for her to breathe.
-Anton, you have to take refuge with Danielle in Canada, I'll look for you there- Her words sounded stifled - Daniel, Madeline and Jack are going to attack me ... -
-What do you say?-
-Transform yourself now- Lenna silenced me stoically. -You have to be ready too ...- I was puzzled to see my parents activate their battle suits, although I could tell that neither of them was completely convinced.
-Lenna, I'm not going to ... -
-We don´t have time- She growled again. Anton had placed Danielle in his arms and was looking at Lenna with an uncomfortable expression. -You promised we were together in this-
-Don't try to manipulate me- I whispered clenching my fists
-You made a mistake and because of you, Anna is dead- She reproached me by standing inches from me. She was furious and disappointed - Now obey me and attack me so Anton and Danielle can escape and you and your family are free of suspicion ... I need you to investigate what happened at Vlad Masters' mansion-.

LENNA
Trembling and pale, he transformed himself a short distance from me. His green eyes reflected the same guilt and discomfort that his blue eyes, did not have time to ask him what happened, but I could imagine that the reason for his absence minutes before was the black haired girl with violet eyes with which he had left. We looked at each other for a moment and I smiled a brief smile, (as always when I was uncomfortable or nervous), he lowered his head again.
-To your order- Danny whispered shaking
-As always- I said mockingly and was the first to release the attack.
Danny fell to the ground and without thinking his mother was the first to respond to the attack with a hit in my stomach that made me scream in pain. I could see how while I was kneeling on the floor, Danny was turning annoyed towards his mother and how Jack looked at me horrified when he noticed that the blood was coming out of my abdomen again. He wouldn't be encouraged to continue with the plan, I had to motivate him.
I threw a phantasmagoric lament, followed by waves of ghostly fire and the house shifted as the beams creaked around us; Jasmine's screams filled the air. She would be the key, I heard her footsteps through the basement stairs and I began to gather energy to direct her, Jack and Maddie responded by throwing lightning bolts of energy, but I dodged them easily, Danny would have to attack me ... And he did..

DANNY
My muscles had reacted to the threat before I could avoid it, I knew that she would not have been able to attack Jazz, but to feel the flow of dark energy produced my instincts to rebel to protect my family. Lenna was leaning against the wall, bleeding and because of the tight fit of her dress and her breathing I see she have a broken rib.
I recognized her movements and responded to her attack, a wave of ice arose from me as she released radiations of ghostly fire that was enhanced by the frequencies emitted by the portal of the Ghost Zone. The vibrations made the environment unstable; I could perceive how the thin line that divided the ghost zone from our reality was blurred in a matter of seconds. Anton took advantage of the moment and transformed into his ghost form to disappear with Dannie.
The NSA broke into the house in a violent way, breaking glass and doors, I guess their energy monitors had gone mad at the increased radiation and would have recognized Lenna's energy. Through the laboratory monitors I could see at least a dozen heavily armed men enter, if we allowed them to reach us, this could end in a massacre.
Lenna glanced quickly at my parents who pointed their weapons at the nebula that had formed between us, "I'm going to look for you" I stammered without saying a word, she forced a grimace trying to smile and attacked harder. When my parents joined the attack there was a flash and a violent force pulled me unconscious seconds later.
