A/N: Hey guys. I hope you enjoy this one, but you are totally going to hate me afterwards.
Everyone slowly and cautiously walks towards the pair.
Bending down slowly, Maddie places two fingers on Danny's neck while Jazz does the same to Vlad.
The two look at each other, momentarily scaring the others until Maddie speaks up. "He's alive." She says.
"So is Vlad." Jazz replies.
Everyone releases the breath they didn't know they had been holding.
A moan makes everyone jump and look at the person it came from.
"Danny?" Sam says, walking closer to him.
Hearing his name, Danny slowly opens his eyes and looks at his friends and family around him. "Is Dan gone?" He whispers, his voice sounding rough and gravelly.
Maddie smiles and places her hand over her son's cheek. "Yes. He's gone."
Danny sighs and falls back asleep on the hard concrete of the road.
Maddie watches him for a moment before standing up and going over to Vlad, who had woke up at the same time Danny did.
Maddie punches him. "How dare you?! How dare you harm my son?! Twice! Why?!"
Vlad smiles, wiping the blood away from his cracked lip. "I wanted revenge. Why else? Danny wasn't the first human-ghost hybrid in this world. I was! Yet he is the one being viewed as a hero. It should be me! Not some stupid, adolescent, boy!"
"It is not Danny's fault that you are an evil excuse for a man!" Maddie yells. "It's yours. You wanted to kill my son because you wanted the fame of being a hero?!"
"No. I wanted the fortune that came along with it." Vlad, faster than a bolt of lightning, pulls a knife out of his suit jacket pocket and jumps towards Danny's unconscious form. He laughs at everyone's terrified faces and plunges the knife into Danny's chest.
