Chapter 14
Danny occupied his afternoon reading medical dictionaries with Sam and Tucker. He wasn't allowed to see Ryan because the doctors figured the same thing Mr. and Mrs. Fenton had: the virus was limited to halfas only.
Then, Sam had a epiphany. "How many years was it between when Plasmius got his powers and Ryan got her powers?" she asked.
"I don't know, eleven, I guess," Danny said.
"And it was eleven hours between when Vlad passed out and Ryan passed out?"
"Yeah," Danny replied, nervous about what he knew she was going to say next.
"Ryan got her powers nine years before you, so you have..." Sam began.
"Two hours and counting," Danny muttered fearfully. That caused them all to start looking through the dictionaries faster. "I'll be right back," Danny said, flying to where Ryan said she had been working.
All of the children in the orphanage looked at me excitedly when I came in.
"You're Danny Phantom!" a little girl said excitedly.
"I saw you on the news!" a boy said.
"Hi, Danny," a familiar voice said.
"Danielle?" Danny asked in surprise.
"Ms. Richards is in the study," Danielle explained.
"Thanks, cuz," Danny said. He walked towards the direction that Danielle had pointed in. Danny saw the woman he could only guess to be Ms. Richards with her back turned to him, reading a book. "Hello?" Danny asked.
"Hello," Ms. Richards said, turning to him, "you must be one of the volunteers; sorry, but our other volunteer, Ryan, isn't here today... I don't really know what happened."
"Um... I'm her brother, actually; she's very sick," Danny explained. "I was wondering if anything strange happened when she was here."
"Hm... no," Ms. Richards said. "She was so sweet to the children... and this lulaby she sang... so familiar..."
Danny froze, my jaw falling open. "I-is y-your name... Sara by any chance?" he asked hopefully.
"It used to be, but I changed it to Emily a while back," she explained.
Danny couldn't contain his excitment. "Mom!" he yelled, hugging Sara.
"WHAT!?" she yelled back in shock.
"Okay, you're gonna think I'm crazy, but my sister and I are the children of a powerful ghost and a halfa named Sara who had her powers and her memories removed," Danny explained, waiting for her feedback.
"I don't know why I believe you, Adam, but I do," Sara said.
"See, you know my real name, even though I never told you," Danny reasoned.
"Okay, Adam, let's go see what we can do to help your sister," Sara said, following Danny. "Alison, you're in charge," she called over ger shoulder to the oldest person in the orphanage. After a couple of blocks, Sara stopped, panting.
"What's wrong?" Danny asked.
"I'm in my forties, have had two kids, and you think I can run fast!?" Sara asked.
"Sorry," Danny said, and momentarily they took off running yet again.
They finally stopped at the hospital, where Danny went into a coughing fit. His two hours were up.
