Chapter Twelve
…
Danny, Gus, and Henry all watched Shawn as he moved in the bed. Just turning and flipping. Henry even tried waking him up, but he just seemed to be in a very painful, deep sleep. Danny felt really guilty that Shawn had to go through this, not knowing what he was seeing at the moment. Shawn had opened his mouth a few times, but no words or sounds came out of it. So the trio just watched him, helplessly. Danny knew he could try to go in and try to find out what was going on, but something inside of him told him not too.
Then Shawn froze, his mouth opened, his chest moved up like he was getting stabbed on the back. But nothing came out, no sound, nothing. His expression told the trio he was hurt, he was getting killed, something so painful it was hard to watch. His mouth showed as if he was screaming his head off, but they didn't hear the screaming. Then Shawn just collapsed, moved into a sleeping position.
They watched him for another 30 minutes but Shawn didn't do anything. Gus and Henry finally left the room, heading down to get something to eat. Danny stayed in the room; he found a chair and sat on it, watching Shawn.
"Why now Shawn?" Danny whispered. "Why does it have to be now? Are you really going to find out?"
He didn't get an answer back; Danny didn't expect anything or anyone to answer him. He felt like he was watching an old friend dying in a hospital, so painful he couldn't even look at him, like he wasn't ready for him to go, not now, not ever. Danny bowed his head, fiddling with his fingers, waiting for a sound. Then he sighed and talked some more.
"I really hope you're not going to find out that I'm a halfa," Danny said softly and whispered softly when he said "halfa". "But by the look on your face and all the moving, I can tell you are going to find out when you wake up. When are you even going to wake up Shawn?"
Shawn stirred.
Danny's head snapped up to look at Shawn, but only found out that Shawn had turned to the other way of the bed. He sighed and decided to listen to Shawn's steady, rhythm, breathing, Shawn sound like he was in such a wonderful dream. Danny just hoped that Shawn wasn't thinking about telling everyone that he was a halfa and thinking that would be such a wonderful idea.
…
Shawn was in the darkness mode again, but he could move this time. For the first time, Shawn finally found out how to work his legs again. He thought that if he just walked ahead that he would find something.
But instead of finding something that something came to him.
He saw the three dead bodies, laying in half hexagon. The scene changed and he saw the ghost kid getting shot.
Get him there now! Whoever you are get him there now!
Shawn remembered hearing that voice. A girl voice.
The scene changed once again. He saw the hospital, the room that the ghost kid was in, but the scene was mostly pointing out the hotel card they had found. Then they were at the hotel in the room where they had arrested Danny's parents. The next thing Shawn saw that they were at the Police Department, where Juliet was treating Danny because they had found out that he was shot.
"Later these months, he started to have problems at school and a night, after curfew. Every day he would come home all cut and stuff, every night, after curfew, he would have the same thing."
Shawn found out that was Maddie's voice.
Danny laughed, "Oh I beat them, but that doesn't mean I get hurt."
The scene changed once again to the car accident and where there was a guy shouting, "That's him! That's the kid that was supposed to be killed but survived!" And he saw Danny wince.
He saw Lassie talking to Danny at the car accident.
"And the man had been shot by it; he had burn marks on him." Lassie said.
"It can give burn marks on people," Danny agreed. "But it cannot harm humans."
"And why should I believe that?" Lassie growled.
"I don't expect you too I'm just saying," Danny said, "After all my parents are ghost hunters, so I know a few things."
Then he saw that his best friend, Danny, and himself were down farther from the car accident and found the "ectoplasm".
Shawn heard his voice: "Is it safe to touch?"
"Um, no, er, yeah I guess," Danny sputtered.
Then they were back to taking to Lassie and Danny was talking, "No he was dead before he even crashed."
He found himself and Danny walking outside and heard his own voice, "Do know this ghost kid?..."
Danny hesitated, "Yeah I do."
The scene changed again, showing Maddie and Jack in the "questioning room". Maddie was the one talking, "We did find something else strange though we would make ghost weapons to use on ghosts, but when we got tracking radar or something like that, it would always,alwaysland on Danny. But of course we didn't want that to happen so we both admitted it was broken and tried to fix it, but nothing worked, it still tracked Danny."
The scene faded and another one popped up, they were walking outside again, no, running. But they both stopped, Shawn remembered this scene, he looked at Danny and a blue wisp came out of his mouth.
"A Ghost Zone?..." The girl chirped.
Then the green light built in front of Shawn, hearing Danny's painful scream and then Shawn woke up.
…
"Shawn!" was Danny's first words when Shawn had woken up.
Shawn rubbed his head, seeing Danny was already too much compare to what he had already seen.
"Shawn?" Danny asked worriedly. "Are you alright? You seem a little shocked."
Shawn found his voice after a few seconds, "Yeah, I think so."
Danny stood up, "You Dad took Gus to the store to grab some food. I'd tell them when you would wake up; do you want me to call them?"
Shawn shook his head, "No not yet."
Danny sat down uneasily. "So how are you feeling?"
Shawn stared at Danny stupidly, "Um I don't really know," He admitted, "But I am feeling pretty tired."
"Do you still want to sleep?" Danny asked.
Again he shook his head, "I think I had quite enough of a nightmare." He smiled. "I should ask how you are feeling."
Danny took that by surprise, "Having a heart attack," He joked. "Seriously you scared me to death."
Shawn chuckled, "What did I do?"
"Well you did pass out and start muttering stuff that I knew," Danny started, "Then you started doing some creepy stuff on your bed—"
"I'm in my dad's house and he put me in my room?" Shawn cried and looked around. "Why is he keeping this stuff?"
Danny laughed and continued, "—and then you just stopped, acting like you were asleep."
"I'd find that a little creepy," Shawn admitted. "What did I say when I passed out?"
Danny thought for a minute and said, "Green light, screaming… and I knew what you were talking about, and unlike Gus and your dad they didn't have a clue."
Shawn's smile flattered, "Well I guess that is true. You went in that portal because your friend told you so?"
Danny hesitated, "Sort of. I mean I thought it would be cool too, I mean who gets to walk into a portal?"
"You do have a point, but how did you live?" Shawn asked. "I saw the portal turn on and stuff, but I never saw after the screaming began."
Danny sighed in relief, "I guess I was lucky."
"Yeah I guess," Shawn agreed, "But then I started having flashbacks from the time I met you and stuff like that, clues I should say."
"What did you find out?" Danny asked as if he was waiting for something big.
"I—I don't know…" Shawn sputtered, "There's something I'm missing… still…"
"So you said you didn't see anything after I was shocked?" Danny asked Shawn.
"No, nothing," Shawn answered. "Am I supposed to know?" Shawn looked at Danny, his expression, showing that he was nervous. "Wait that was the big hit wasn't it? That was the part you wanted me to see! What happened Danny? What happened after you were shocked?"
"Nothing," Danny lied.
"You want me to find out huh?" Shawn said, getting out of bed and marched over to the door way. "Fine, I will, and when I do I will start from the beginning of everything." And he walked out, leaving Danny sitting on the chair looking down, feeling guilty.
…
I know this one is shorter than the others. But I will make the next one longer, I promise!
R&R!
And I am sorry if this one wasn't very "exciting" Shawn will find out soon! And possibly Gus, I don't know. You guys choose if you want Gus to find out, I can fit that in the story if you like!
Again please review!
