Chapter 9: All Hell Breaks Loose
"Ethan open the door." Danny knocked on the door. "I know you're in there E. Please let me in." Ethan was on the bed motionless with his eyes open. A shadowy figure was floating over him whispering things to him. The figure was emitting smoke that vaporized as it rose up. It heard the pounding of a door and approaching creatures of the night. The smoke started to double in size. It began to transcend around the perimeter of the house until it was sure they were the only two inside.
Danny having no more patience decided to slam his body against the door giving it enough force to budge open. He wasn't quick enough to see the vapor go into Ethan's eyes. Ethan blinked and his eyes were a deep black before returning to their normal brown color.
Danny turned around and found Ethan lying on the bed in a dead like state. He felt guilty knowing he was responsible for making Ethan feel this way. He pulled up Ethan's computer chair and sat down next to him.
Rory suggested they use the door this time. Slight problem, the threshold was holding them back. Only this threshold wasn't at the door, but at the porch, ten feet away from the door. They used their super strength to ram the invincible force but it wouldn't budge. They yelled at Danny but the sound seemed to die off before it reached the door. They tried the back door but they couldn't get near it either, something was up.
They flew up to Ethan's window only to slam into an invincible force too. What they saw surprised them. Hovering above Ethan was a black, smoky, vapor. Danny seemed oblivious to this and they tried warning him but they couldn't.
Only your love can reunite his body and soul. Danny, your love can break the hold it has over your best friend, and close it's portals. Danny heard a women's voice speak to him.
"Ethan, I'm sorry for everything. I didn't mean anything I said." He wiped away his tears and grabbed Ethan's hand, "I could never hate you; I love you." He kissed his hand.
Ethan suddenly opened his eyes slowly. He scanned the room and saw Danny, "OH Danny."
Danny smiled at Ethan with teary eyes, "I have prayed, for the day, when our love-will bring us together again." Ethan's smile began to falter into a wicked grin. He sat up laughing maniacally.
"Love!" He questioned cruelly as he stood up slowly on the bed, "I have never loved you. You were such a pathetic friend, what reason was it to love!" His eyes transitioned very quickly to black before returning to their original color. Rory and Sarah were outside the window listening to Ethan speak darkly at Danny. Danny turned around to see them.
"We can't get in." Rory exclaimed, "There's something keeping us out!" He punched the air and his fist collided with the threshold making a slamming sound. "See!"
"That's not possible." Danny exclaimed. Ethan smirked at him, "OH but it can and it is. And you..." he pointed at the two outside the window approaching them "...are powerless, vampires."
"Why?" Danny questioned the impostor, "How could you do this to us?"
Ethan smirked, "It was so easy. Now the merger is nearly complete." His eyes transitioned again, but this time it took longer. Like Ethan was fighting for control. "This one has will power. Not matter it's only a matter of time now."
Danny couldn't attack this monster, he could risk hurting Ethan and that's something he wasn't willing to do.
"I figured you wouldn't hurt this body. I learned a lot from you these last few months." Ethan toyed with Danny, "The major one being your strong emotions towards this human. Honestly, I don't even know what you see in him." He saw his reflection in the mirror, "He's not even 'HOT', your word not mine. Then again I don't know what he sees in you either."
"Shut Up." Danny scowled, "What do you want?" Ethan smirked and walked over to him.
Ethan whispered to him as he got close to his secret lover's lips, "He's dying to know what your kisses are like." Danny's breath hitched as Ethan got closer. Rory and Sarah watched the two listening in on their conversation.
He chuckled and moved away "Did you know that two spirits in the same host body is deadly?" Ethan sat on the computer chair with his legs on the desk. He extended his hand to the window and brought down the threshold. "You two disgust me."
"What do you want with Ethan?" Sarah asked with hate.
"There's nothing special about him really. I just needed a host. The last two idiotic boys were a pain really. Took a while to regain my strength after what I did. You see I was drawn to their power; power beyond anything I could imagine." Danny interrupted him.
"And we care why?" Ethan got up from the chair and walked towards him.
"I don't see how Ethan loves that attitude of yours." He whispered cruelly in his face.
"You should care because I almost succeeded in bringing the end of the world once. My powers work because of the emotion hate. Hate is everywhere; it's easy to manipulate the minds of others once anger arises. Ethan though was tough. For being a mere mortal he had more will power than you Danny, and that's saying something.
You shouldn't have underestimated him. Humans can surprise you when you need them the most. Take for example your friendship with Ethan; it goes way beyond that of just friendship doesn't it Danny. Or your friendship with these creatures. I know for a fact witches and vampires don't see eye-to-eye, but you two befriended them. Powerful thing friendships. Even more powerful than magic itself."
The three teens still had no idea where he was getting at. Danny had other plans though; Ethan's survival was diminishing with every second that passed by. He needed to act fast. He was done playing games with this, whatever it was.
"I find it very hypocritical of you to hold something from your so called 'best friend.'" Ethan turned around and headed for the door and Danny yelled, "NOW!"
All at once Rory and Sarah flitted to Ethan at great speed to prevent him from leaving. They tackled him into the hallway. He was a bit stronger than usual and was able to throw Sarah into one of the rooms, Rory though tackled him again onto the stairs and they both fell down toppling over each other. Danny stayed behind and summoned his spell book. He read a section about entering someone's mind. To his surprise he found something similar; a mind link spell, he quickly studied the chant and went to Sarah.
"I found something that may help." He helped her up.
"Danny, wait. Have you always-" She couldn't finish because Danny knew what she was going to say, he only nodded.
"Later okay? Right now I gotta save him, I can't lose him again." They quickly went downstairs to find Rory struggling with Ethan.
Sarah told him to do his thing while she helped Rory. Danny stood at the end of the staircase and began reciting the spell.
"Life to Life & Mind to Mind,
Our Spirits intertwine.
Meld our souls and journey to
the One whose thoughts I wish I knew."
A strange gust of wind picked up in the living room and Ethan turned around to see Danny collapsing.
"NOOO!" Ethan's voice rang with rage. He too collapsed on the floor darkness consuming his vision.
Danny was in a barren white room. White light radiated from the room to every corner stretching for miles and miles. This was Ethan's mind or at least he thought it was. He walked around, not really sure knowing where he was but he felt safe, that he was sure of. He called out for Ethan, his voiced echoed throughout the room.
After what seemed for hours he finally found the boy sitting on a white bench. He looked awful his aura was fading away. He looked weak, almost transparent. He joined him.
"Ethan?" He touched his shoulder, "E?" Ethan finally looked up and faltered a smile. "Hi Ethan." Danny brought him in for a signature Danny hug. He started to sob, "E, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything I made you go throu-"
"Danny, it's okay. I heard you the first time in my room. You don't have to apologize." Ethan's voice was beginning to sound like an echo. "I should have told you sooner; I was afraid of losing you." Ethan voice shimmered in an out as he spoke.
"I should have told you too. I just never wanted to put you in danger. I never told you how my mom died for the same reason I never told you. I don't want to lose you E." He separated from the hug and grabbed his face, "I love you Ethan." They leaned in and a sudden flash radiated the room. The once barren, white room had come to life with memories of the two. From the day they met, to their first sleepover, when they met Rory, to the first day of high school and the newest memory; their first kiss.
Ethan's aura was shinning immensely with power. He became whole again and the boys were sent back into their own bodies. Danny awoke on the couch gasping for air while Ethan's body was still in slumber.
The two vampires could see a dark force over Ethan. The black smoke was exiting his eyes and gathering on top of him.
"I underestimated you Ethan. That won't happen again. I have a message for your friends; prepare because final battle will begin. You will need all the forces you can get and even then it might not be enough. I will be seeing you again." The dark energy began to swirl around Ethan before completely vaporizing. Ethan abruptly awoke gasping for air.
"Thanks for coming with me E." The two teens walked through Knightwood Bay Cemetery, holding a bouquet of flowers.
"You know I would do anything for you D." Ethan remarked as he held hands with Danny. "I know you've never once visited your mom's grave after what happened long ago, and after you told me what happened a couple weeks ago, I knew you had to come. Besides I owe her my gratitude." Danny chuckled.
"You're something else Ethan. Only you would come thank the dead." The two began to laugh.
Here lies Patricia, Beloved Wife and Mother.
Ethan set down the flowers and said a couple of words.
"Mrs. Havens may you rest in peace. Thank you for helping Danny go through a tough time and for bringing us closer. I swear I will keep this goofball from doing stupid things." Danny nudged Ethan in the ribs.
"Hey you can't tell her I do stupid things. He's joking, false alarm, no need for lectures." Ethan chuckled, "Bye mom." Ethan turned around only to be spun around by Danny pulling him into a sweet and loving kiss. Danny using his magic made the leaves and flower petals swirl around the two.
Danny's Mom appeared behind her gravestone admiring the two. A second ball of aura swirled around her until it became visible. "Aren't they adorable?" She spoke.
"Hello Megan. How's the Angel of Destiny doing these days?" Patricia spoke.
"Not well, I'm the first Angel of Destiny with child. As you know, we are preparing. I could not meddle much seeing as I have to keep the balance. Besides this was his destiny; it's why I allowed you to appear to your son. The other's would be infuriated, but it is after all for the Greater Good." Patricia nodded in understanding.
"Thank you." Megan waved her off. "So as punishment you had to keep the last name Gregor?"
"Unfortunately, Yes. Though to be fair I did not see that coming. But what's done is done. Now are you ready to return to the after life?" Patricia nodded and took one final look at her boys. Both entities disappeared into a glowing ball of aura and ascended into the sky.
Rory and Sarah flitted scaring the two boys as they walked out of the cemetery. "What did we miss?" They hissed at the two. The four began to laugh as they headed towards the mall.
I want to thank everyone who showed their support by reading and reviewing. It means a lot to me. This was an awesome experience, this was way out of my comfort zone. Hopefully everyone liked it. I want to thank Emo-Rocker for letting me use their first chapter to inspire this story. Until next time. Now to continue The Seer and The Spell-Master.
