The mansion was a total house of confusion. He couldn't sleep that night. How could he possibly be able to? It just felt like it his world had flipped upside down in a bad way. His head rattled with so many problems. Vlad wasn't supposed to know Caitlyn his whole life. He wasn't supposed to marry her. Dad wasn't supposed to be happy with them dating. Skulker wasn't supposed to be on Vlad's side. Caitlyn wasn't supposed to be half ghost. None of this was supposed to be happening, but it was. What had he done to deserve this? He had sat up, and left the lage spacey bedroom. Danny tried to walk around the mansion. The house had a few candles in the rooms, that were lit. Caitlyn did that to feel safe at night. He never really understood how she felt safe that way There wasn't a single sound in the house, but then again larger houses always seemed all the more quiet. With alot of space for the volume to stretch, it made perfect sense. He walked into the ball room, to see if Vlad and Caitlyn were in there. He peeked around the corner, and they were, sure enough. They were way high up near the top of the cieling, stringing banners, and streamiers, and adjusting lights on the cieling. One of the banners had the words "Welcome Fenton family!" written on it. Danny thought that was pretty redundant. He changed into his ghost self, and watched them carefully, to see if they said anything about him. Vlad looked over to his new love. He floated in her direction, and grasped both her hands in his, and floated down carefully, with her in his arms.
"I can't wait to meet your family, other than your mother. To meet your extended family, it sends butterflies in my stomach." She tapped the tip of his chin, smiling at the flattering remark. Danny made a sarcastic gagging sound.
"Don't get too excited. Jack's brothers are like a bunch of Jacks, that all talk the same, and act the same. Get ready for a Jack army." He grinned, messing her white hair up. She returned the favor rustling his dark black rough hair.
"How is Daniel? Has he forgiven me, yet?" Vlad asked with her in his grasp. She looked down and shook her head. She slowly felt herself tear up. He frowned, and pulled her to chest. "Please don't cry, my love. You I cry when you cry." He changed back, and looked at her in the eye. She leaned her head up against his strong chest, a small smile forming along her mouth. She stained Vlad's front of his tuxedo in tears. He buried his mouth in her still white hair, smelling her long hairs scent in. She stayed as a ghost. She did look rather beautiful as a ghost, but Danny didn't care. He was to busy making sure that Vlad wouldn't hurt her.
"You know, If Daniel hates you, fine. I don't really care anymore." She whiped the front of her face on her long ghost dress. "The important thing is that I love you. He has no say in it. He's not my mother. Michelle likes you, and the whole rest of the family likes you. As far as that's concerned, I think that will be enough for me. He knows nothing about what you've done for me in life. What was it that made Daniel change his mind so quickly, is my question. It must have been something serious. Do you have any clue why he did what he did?" She asked putting the bowl on the table for Saturday. It was going to be filled with sweet punch for the family.
"I . . . " Vlad put his hand in his pant pocket, and clutched his hand around the satin black box. Was this going to be the moment? Would he do it alone? Then he moved his hand away from his pocket, his hand empty. "I don't know." He lied. How could he ruin the proposal, by telling her why he was angry. He ran up to her, where the spotlight shined in the middle of the room. "If there is one thing I know, it's that if anything, our new life together will be perfect with each other to lead us. Trust me." She hung her head down a bit, and smiled. He pulled it up to meet his glance. "I promise." She smiled through glittery tear filled eyes. She hugged him suddenly, and with great joy. Vlad reached down, and kissed her, finally. His long fingers held her small waist, as his other hand was weaved through her long satin white hair. He teared up, with his eyes closed up. She ran her fingers through his ponytail, and laid a second hand on his shoulder. They pulled each other as close as they could get. It seemed like if there was ever a match made in heaven, this had to be it.
Danny had built up his rage, until he couldn't hold it in anymore. "NOOOOOO!" They broke their kiss as Danny had flew towards them at top speed. He tackled Vlad to the ground his hand glowing green. Danny pinned him to the ballroom floor. His hand was a far ways away from Vlad. Vlad had a fresh look of fear written on his face. He didn't change into Plasmius, but stayed in his human form. He held Danny's wrist away from his throat. Caitlyn was in a state of pure fear.
"DANIEL NO!" Caitlyn cried seeing Daniel on top of Vlad. Skulker and Ember were watching the whole thing. Ember had tried to run the in order to help Caitlyn, but Skulker pulled her back, not letting her near the fight. As soon as she felt Skulker's grip on her waist, she was clutched backwards, and stared wide eyed at the fight. Skulker stared at the eye popping scene before him as well. They held each other close, not able to turn away. This is what people must have referred to as one of those sights that was like a train wreck. Danny looked like a wild animal. It was terrifying. Vlad was staring at Daniel completely frighetened.
Daniel had held the ecto blast stirring in his hand longer than he could have imagined. His anger causing a homicidal grin to form on his lips. The only thought that had crossed his mind was how happy he was going to be, to see Vlad sitting in a body bag. He had suddenly remembered the strong blast that Vlad had taught him. Vlad was pulling his face in the opposite direction of Danny's hand.
"Don't do this Daniel, please. I don't want to fight you." Vlad's eyes held tears, as he suddenly tried to look into Danny's eyes. The eye contact only made Danny all the more furious. He trembled trying to get his hand closer to the oldest of the three halfas. He was so close he could feel the ecto blasts power close to overwhelming.
"You shouldn't have taught me that blast, because you're going to get one sent straight to your face." He said through clenched teeth. Vlad wasn't going to hurt him, but didn't want to get fatally injured. He was trying to build up all the energy he could. He felt like a heartbeat in his palm.
"DANIELLE YOU NEED TO GET OFF OF VLAD!" Caitlyn was straight across from Danny, above Vlad's head. Danny felt her freezing cold breath, against his forehead. Her eyes burned into his soul. She couldn't let this get more out of hand than it already was. She grabbed Danny's wrist, and trembled, pushing it away from Vlad's face. He grunted trying to turn it near Vlad's forhead. It was just a mere few inches away. The hand was slowly pulled up away from his face. The ecto energy was so pressurized in his hand he couldn't hold it much longer. His hand was pointed up to Caitlyn's stomach. Danny could hold the blast any longer, and it made it's way ut with a BOOM!
It took a little while to figure out what had happened in the silence that followed. Danny and Vlad were still unharmed, and took in the sight before them. The first thing they took into sight was Caitlyn. She was on the opposite side of the room. She was in her human form, clean off the floor. She as not floating, but had been blasted into a bookcase. Her eyes tight shut, and her eyebrows scared. Her mouth was slightly opened. Her arms were at forty five degre angles on her sides. The worst of the sight had to be a large black bruise in middle of her stomach. She was up against the wall in a time of what seemed like forever. She then fell to the floor. She wasn't moving. The bookcase she was up against fell flat on her.
Vlad looked at Caitlyn on the floor. "Caitlyn!" He quietly gasped. "NOOOOOO!" He shoved Danny off of him, and Dany just stood there staring at his hands .Vlad ran over to the bookcase. "You're lucky I don't put you in jail boy." His voice had grown hard, like it was before the vacation. It was the one full of anger that Vlad had before he knew he was related to her. Danny kept his eyes on his hands, and slowly changed back. He had shot one of the most powerful blast of his life, and it had actually hit his second cousin. How could he have done such an awful thing? Vlad heaved the heavy bookcase of off her, and lifte her face upwards to check if she was breathing. The expresion on his face said she wasn't. "Daniel, call 911!"
Danny had grasped the phone on the other side of the room, but froze as soon as he dialed.
"911 What's your emergency?" Danny couldn't make words. He was still scared of what he had just done.
"Don't worry. We traced the call to Caitlyn's manor. An ambulance is on it's way." When he turned around, he was all the more scared of the sight before him. Vlad was giving her CPR. He had never been in a situaion where he had actually seen CPR being performed. He knew a few people that have, and they said it was a sight you never forget. They were right. Caitlyn wasn't responding. The seconds of her stillness seemed like hours. After what felt like eternity, she came back to consiousness. She didn't respond quietly. When she woke up, she clutched Vlad's arm, and squeezed till her knuckled turned white. Her mouth gasping for the breath, she craved. Her eyes were wide as dinner plates, and drench in adrenaline. After several much needed breaths, she caughed a few times, clearing her throat of whatever she could. Danny could see her muscles tremble, as they were clenching, and tightening up.
"Oh thank heavens, you're alright." Vlad sighed a breath of rellief.
The rest of the family came in, not too long after. Jack ran next to Vlad. "What happened we heard a sharp explosion, is she alright?" Caitlyn was clutching her stomach writhing in pain. The sight was almost enough for Danny to throw up. Jazz was in a state of near crying. Maddie was holding her close, trying to keep her daughter calm.
"I don't know. Daniel and I came in, and we found the bookcase over her. Daniel called the hospital. They'll be here." Vlad was, of course, right. Three men dressed in white scrubs ran into the room in a matter of minutes, and lifted Caitlyn onto a stretcher, and put her in the back of an ambulance. Vlad stayed with her, in the ambulance. Danny, and the family, got in the RV, racing to the hospital.
