Chapter 13

Danny's POV

"Ya got every thing you need kid?" Death Toy asked me as we were getting ready to leave his lair and go to the human realm.

"I don't own anything to bring with me," I replied blandly. I'd waited forever for this, well for as long as I'd know about it. You can't really tell time in the ghost zone, it's pretty much the same all the time here.

"Fair enough. Now, shall we get going?" he said, opening the door leading to the rest of the green swirling ghost zone, and exiting through it. "Come on then, Kid, we don't have forever. Well, we do but... Arrr, let's just go." he shouted, irritation showing on his features.

"Calm down, I'm coming, I'm coming" I answered, also exiting. "How far is the portal from here, anyway?" I questioned as we started flying... somewhere; I'm not entirely sure. It's incredibly disorientating outside the lair, with all the green, and no real sense of gravity.

"Not too far, we'll be there soon, Kid," he replied, turning to face me. "Trust me, I've been there enough times to know, I'm not suddenly going to forget or anything."

"What exactly do you do in the human realm, Death Toy?" I asked, still not knowing where he'd been going all those times he wasn't at the lair.

"I make nightmares about people's worst fears. Most of them are about people, or that person dying or being killed. Thats also how I got my name; ironically." he said "That explain it for ya, Kid?"

"You're the bogey man?" I asked innocently.

"Hell no!" Death toy snapped, yelling at me, clearly not impressed by what I had just called him.

"But-"

"I am not the bogey man," He hissed plainly, glaring at me with murderous eyes.

"O-okay," I stuttered as Death turned back around. 'Better not bring that up again if I fear for my life,' I thought to my self.

'I thought it was hilarious~ King' Dark laughed out in my head. Stupid Dark, enjoying his self. I thought he was supposed to be me; yet he clearly enjoys watching me suffer.

'But now I know he hates that name, I'm never letting it drop, King~ Haha.' he sang out.

'You just love toying with me, don't you Dark?' I sighed in my head.

'Awww, whatever gave it away, King~?' he teased, and even though I couldn't currently see him, I could tell he was wearing that incessant smile plastered on to his face. Arr, he annoys me.

"Shut up!" I shouted, out loud by accident.

"I wasn't saying anything, Kid," Death Toy said, looking at me as if I was crazy. Then realization hit him. "You were saying that to Dark, weren't ya?"

"Yep, he's getting on my nerves again." I replied. This was not the first time Dark had annoyed and teased me, to an extent I forget I'm the only one hearing him speak. I'd hate him if he weren't me.

"Well, that won't last for long. We're at the portal now, Kid, so it shouldn't bug ya as much now." Death Toy announced.

"Can I get that in writing, please?" I asked, knowing Dark will annoy me no matter what the circumstances.

"Nope!" he answered straight forwardly, zipping through the portal to the human realm.

"Hey! I was serious about that! Come back here!" I yelled, following him through the portal, and landing in a basement of some kind, with lab equipment everywhere, making me feel incredibly uncomfortable.

"Death Toy?..." I called out, looking around to see if I could see him anywhere. With no luck, I gave up and left. Going intangible and passing through the ceiling, then through a wall, and out on to a street.

The human realm looked nice. I'd only seen it on the viewing thing, at Death Toy's lair.

The next thing caught me off guard.

"GHOST!" I turned my attention to where the shout came from. A human was standing frozen with fear, just staring at me. "Get away from me." she muttered, stepping away from me, but slowly tripping up and falling over.
"Why? I haven't done anything to you." I questioned, holding my hand out to help her up. 'Maybe if I show I'm not at threat she'll be less scared,' I thought.

'If only it were that easy, King.' Dark sighed.

"SOMEBODY HELP ME, PLEASE!" The human yelled, terrified.

"I just want to help you up." I said calmly, stepping a little closer, arm still stretched out to help her up.

"THEN GO AWAY!" she yelled, petrified, snaking my hand away from her.

'I'd do as the human says, King,' Dark started 'I told you, King, it's not easy to get humans to be less scared of something that they should be scared of~' he finished.

'But I don't want her to be scared of me,' I argued.

'I'm afraid there isn't much you can do about that, King, humans are always scared of things they can't understand.' Dark replied

'Fine, I'll leave. I have to find Death Toy, anyway.' I sighed mentally, as I turned and left the human shaking in fear on the side of the street.
