Yeah Danny and Daniel have such unresolved issues... I'm gonna fling them together again and see them fight... well eventually. Danny maybe sick (and possibly dieing) but that doesn't mean they wont intereact with each other... hmm I think I revealed too much. Must shut up now... thanks for reviewing!

SMILE:D
You have to know Im noutorious for killing characters... but never in the way you expect... and deaths can never be for sure... oops did I say too much? I just love twists... don't you? I can't reassure that Daniel wont like Vlad since Vlad offered him a way out... also I wont take too long. I just realised Im up to the tenth chapter. It takes as long as it takes. Sorry to the million fan girls...

I don't get your review (sweat drops) I'm sorry! Please forgive me!!!

So now my fellow fans (of the shows), readers, reviewers and watchers enjoy!

Danny woke up with a start. He shot up to a sitting position. He realized he was in his own room, in his own bed. With a deep sigh of relief he put his hand to his head.

"It was just a dream"

All just a horrible dream.

Danny climbed through his tangled sheets and out of his bed. Surprised to find that he felt fine.

Maybe my sickness was a dream after all…

He entered the hallway, silence met his ears. His bare feet padded along the carpet as he slipped downstairs into the living room. Danny suddenly didn't like the silence. Surely by now he would have heard some kind of noise from the kitchen or the basement.

"Mom? Dad?" he paused for an answer before continuing, "Jazz?"

He entered the family room finding it empty, just decorated with the basic familiar furniture. He decided to look in the kitchen and wondered over.

"Hello? Anyone home?" he called

The complete silence was too much to bear. There were no background noises of any kind; no household appliances, no occasional noises from the outside not even the ticking of a clock was heard. It was all too weird. Uneasiness filled his stomach as he brought his guard up. Something was wrong here and he knew someone or something was messing around, messing with him.

On guard he moved towards the last area to check, the lab.

He slowly descended down the stairs; his footsteps seemed to echo in the complete stillness. He tried to ignore it and made his way to the foot of the stairs. He saw a green glow splash the lab equipment and furnishings; he turned to find the Ghost Portal completely open, swirling in its mysterious existence.

Suddenly a tall black figure shadowed and towered over him. Danny gasped as large yellow eyes bore down on him.

Sam looked dejectedly out of the window not really listening to what the teacher was talking about. How could she concentrate when the seat next to her was empty? Devoid of the life it would've held.

"Life is cruel" she muttered darkly as her thoughts caught up in past events with ghosts and situations right up until this point.

Tucker sat behind her; he too ignored the drone of the teacher. He slouched and laid back as much as he could fiddle around on his PDA. Even his Bethany Barks pictures weren't so appealing anymore not when your best friend is sick and could die…

He gave a sigh wishing he was home or doing something to help Danny out. Doing nothing seemed to be a killjoy. He was glad the day was going to be over soon. He and Sam didn't talk much, only to avoid the painful idea that their friend was gravely sick and they were stuck at school helpless to do anything.

This was wrong all wrong. Daniel rubbed his eyes for the fifteenth time. He was reading the same text so much that he could still see it behind his eyes. His stomach growled as the empty pit of his stomach ached. He looked at his watch it was four in the afternoon. He blinked wondering where the whole day had gone. He was no closer to finding the answers.

The text looked familiar and yet different. It looked Ancient Egyptian but it was different symbols, nothing was documented in papers or on general internet sites about these strange symbolling. The only known translation was in his father's journal.

Hunger, stress and tiredness gnawed at him so he decided to head off home and take a closer look at his father's journal again. He could find no more here than he did today. Looks like no one discovered what his father was on or they were trying to discover the secret for themselves… what ever it was the bottom line that he was getting nowhere fast.

With that he packed up his gear and headed off home.

Danny's mind went into panic mode as he stumbled backwards. He fell on his rear but to his legs it didn't matter. They kept working sliding Danny away until he hit a wall and couldn't go any further

Do not be afraid, ba.

A rich smooth voice echoed across the silence. Danny looked at the thing for the first time. It was tall and it was pitch black with the silhouette. The yellow eyes pierced right through him, into his soul and yet they were guarded, wise and kind. Danny recognised the two long points on the top of the figure was ears and he could barely make a snout.

Danny's thoughts immediately shifted to Wulf but this wasn't Wulf. It dwarfed Wulf.

I have come to guide you young one

The smooth voice echoed once more. Danny clamed a little seeing he wasn't being torn to shreds at the moment. He could feel a massive presence and enigma from the being. He couldn't tell if it was a ghost or a supernatural life form.

"Who… who are you?" Danny couldn't help but stammer. He cursed himself for not being braver and keeping his voice even

I am known by many names but you may know me as Anubis

"Anubis?" Danny echoed. His heart thudded, he felt the blood drain away from his face and dread filled the pit in his stomach. He knew enough Ancient Egyptian in History to know who Anubis was.

Lord over death, living souls and responsible for all who enter the afterlife

Danny gasped. I.. I'm dead?

He shook his head, "No! No it can't be! I can't be dead!"

Do not be afraid, ba

"I'M NOT DEAD!" Danny shouted clearly upset by this revelation

He couldn't possibly be dead! He never wanted to die! He wanted to live! Unshed tears formed at his eyes to a point where he couldn't see properly. A lump swelled in his throat making it hard to swallow, his body shook with shock, his lips trembled as his mind gripped the very horror that he wasn't going to see his family and friends again. They were all gone and he was never coming back to them.

Ever.

He never even got to say good bye. He'll never hear his mother calmly speak to him when he was upset or scared, he'll never smile at Jazz's overprotective compassion, he'll never see his father's megawatt smile when he was teaching Danny something of father-son importance, he'll never cause mischief and hang out with Tucker and he'll never get to spend time or share personal feelings with Sam ever again.

He realized his cheeks were wet and wiped at them sniffing pathetically like a little child but he was at a lost of what to do where to go. Am I full ghost now? Will I be able to be 'Danny Phantom'? Those questions popped up in amongst the grief.

He clenched his jaw but his lips wobbled as tears spilled once again. After a while he seemed to have calmed a bit. His heart ached less but it was still raw with loss.

This is a hard thing to accept young one but one mustn't linger, only move on to the next existence.

Danny looked at the tall dark figure. He'd forgotten the thing was there. He realized he could see the figure much more clearly against the green light that came from the ghost portal. It was a half human half dog like creature. It was covered head to toe and short pitch black fur except for the sides of his muscle at its neck. The fur was long only to stop past its shoulders. It almost looked like hair. Its neck was adorned with a thick Egyptian looking necklace. Its golden eyes held a guarded look.

"So…" Danny said shakily, "Am I really dead?"

I cannot say, ba. My role is to guide souls to the afterlife. You are such a soul young one.

"I don't want to go!"

You cannot remain here. If you do, you shall stay here on this earth wondering like the spirits you fight.

"I'll live in the Ghost Zone?" Danny asked shocked, "What about my powers?"

Lingering here will turn you mad and obsessive as you see your loved ones but yet cannot reach them. Your ability is apart of you. It is part of your soul but it shall take on a new meaning once you've entered the next life.

Danny drew his knees up and rested his forehead on them. He didn't know what to do, what to think or feel. He just felt numb, numb with disbelief, grief and shock. He closed his eyes.

This is just a bad dream. It's a really bad nightmare but it will be over soon.

Come young one, we have a fair way to travel. The travel to the next world can be tough but is there for those who are true.

"I don't want to go" Danny's voice barely held its whisper, "There has to be a way… I can't be dead"

I know it is a shock but you cannot linger.

Danny stood up shakily, "I'm not going! I know I got some life left in me! I'm not going to leave my family or my friends"

The being was silent for the moment as Danny started his way back up the stairs; his stubbornness forced his legs up each step8 and he held on to the side rails just so he wouldn't fall flat on his face.

Very well ba. If you are not ready to leave then I can await your decision to do so.

Danny turned and suddenly sunk down on the stairs, his body—or at least what he thought is his body—shook with shock. He felt so tired like he wanted to sleep for a thousand years but he couldn't give up, not yet. He owed it to his family and to himself to try. He's come so far and been through so much that giving up and letting go here seems like giving up.

He sighed and before he knew it darkness claim him once more.

Jazz entered the house. It was quiet. She made her way upstairs and dumped her school stuff in her room. It had been a busy day and had lost herself in school work. Her worry for her brother left her mind for a couple of moments before coming back again with a memory or a thought. She silently made her way to Danny's room and entered. She found her brother not to be there. She gasped and was at a lost what to do and what to think.

Where's my brother? Where's Danny?

Tears threatened to spill as her anxiety, worry and panic rose to the surface.

"Danny?" she called, "Danny?!"

Seeing he was not in his room she rushed down stairs and to the kitchen.

"Jazz down here" her mother's voice called from the basement

Jazz raced down the stairs and into the lab. She saw her mother looking weary with smudges under her eyes.

"Sorry to scare you dear but we had to isolate him just in case the virus spreads" Maddie explained before she said a word

Jazz looked over to a curtained off section and quickly covered the short distance. She entered the space to find her brother hooked to an IV sleeping peacefully. He was hooked to a heart monitor that kept a steady rhythm. She vaguely wondered where her parents get this stuff and if they actually know what they were doing…

She noticed her father was sitting next to Danny. He gave a weary smile and rose from his chair. He turned to leave, to give his daughter privacy with her brother. As he past her he gave her a short but reassuring firm hug before disappearing behind the curtain.

Jazz relished the heartfelt hug and took her fathers place by her brother's side. She grabbed his cool hand. She looked to see his face in a mild panic knowing humans shouldn't be that cool but she saw the rise and fall of her brother's chest and relaxed.

"Come back to us little brother"

To Be Continued...
