Alright, now while I go sob in the corner because I DON'T own Danny Phantom please enjoy this chapter! *Goes in corner and sobs*
Dash's POV
"I forgive you, Fenton." I said sincerely. Wait a minute, hold on, did I just say that? Did I really just forgive Fenton, just like that? I never do that, or if I do forgive Fenton, I usually tie him to a flagpole by his underwear first, then forgive him.
What came over me?
I guess maybe it was the fact that it wasn't his fault, for he was being controlled after all. Though maybe it was also that fact that he saved my life several times since we've been stuck here. Maybe it was that he was so distressed by that fact that he gave me a black eye that I couldn't help but forgive him.
For some reason, Fenton seems to be deathly afraid of hurting someone. My question is why? I have never seen or heard of Fenton injuring another person. Did he do something in his past to make him fear harming someone?
I have so many questions running though my head.
You know, I never thought I would say this but, Fenton is by far one of the bravest person I know. When he was facing all those ghosts, I never saw an ounce of fear on his face.
When we were captured by Vlad, Fenton really surprised me by not giving into Plasmius' demands. Even when Vlad was putting him though all that torture he didn't surrender. I'm sure that if it were any one of us, we would have given up, just to stop the pain. Fenton is truly brave.
For once, I actually feel really sorry for him, being sick and all. I can tell that this pill is not just making him sick, but is causing him great pain. Yet I have never heard him complain, even once. He tries so hard not to let it show how much agony he's in, it just amazes me. Fenton is really strong-willed.
Maybe I have been to hard on him. Stuffing him into lockers, beating him up, and making fun of him, just doesn't seem to appealing anymore. Maybe once we get back to Earth, things can be different. Still, that's big if- Fenton is still a loser, but maybe not as big of one as I thought.
Maybe, just maybe, things will be different.
Nobody's POV
Danny looked at Dash a little shocked, but then a small smile formed on his lips, and he said gratefully, "Thanks Dash."
Dash nodded and said gruffly, "Yeah, well, just don't let it happen again."
With that Dash walked off to go find a place to lay down, soon everyone else followed suit.
Danny still had tears streaming down his face, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make them stop. Maddie saw this and gently moshed for Danny to come lay next to her. Danny complied and lay next to his mom. Maddie gently put an arm around Danny and whispered into his ear. "Don't worry sweetie, everything will be alright."
Danny only nodded, not trusting his voice. Jack walked over to the other side of Danny and lied down next to him. He gently ruffed Danny's blood matted hair and said softly, "Goodnight, son."
"Goodnight Mom, goodnight Dad," Danny replied, before closing his eyes and falling asleep.
When Tucker's alarm went off in the morning, Maddie wearily opened her eyes and looked around. She slowly got to her feet, and went to go turn Tucker's alarm off.
When she got back, she looked at Danny to see that he was already awake. The thing was though that he was staring blackly at the sky above him.
"Danny?" Maddie asked, walking over to him. Danny didn't respond, he just continued to stare blackly at nothing.
"Danny?" Maddie tried again. Sill Danny didn't move. Maddie waved a hand in front of Danny's face and tried calling him some more.
Finally Danny snapped out of it and asked sleepily."What is it, Mom?"
"Are you alright, Danny?" Maddie asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine," He said. "Why do you ask?"
"Because, just a second ago you were staring off blankly and I couldn't get you to snap out of it." Maddie said worriedly.
"I was?" Danny asked, completely confused. "I don't remember doing that. I thought I just woke up."
Maddie looked at him curiously but decided to just drop it. Maddie then went around waking everyone up. Once everyone was up they decided to have some food before they set off. Maddie pulled out apple, cut it into eleven peaces, then handed the pieces out. When she handed Danny his piece he looked at it then handed it back.
"Give it to someone else," Danny said. "I'm not hungry."
"Danny, you need to eat." Maddie said firmly.
Danny sighed and looked distastefully at the food. For some reason Danny felt like he couldn't stomach anything. Seeing as he couldn't disobey his mom though, Danny reluctantly took that apple and looked at if for a moment.
Once Maddie finished her piece of her apple she looked over at Danny to find him just staring at the apple blankly again. Maddie waved her hand in front of Danny again and tried calling his name. Nothing seemed to work, he just stayed staring blankly at his food. After about five minuets Danny lifted his head and saw everyone staring at him.
"What?" he asked.
"Danny, you were staring at that apple for over five minutes." Sam said worriedly.
"I was?" Danny asked.
Everyone nodded and Danny looked a little worried. Danny sighed, quickly ate his part of the food, hopped onto his moms back, and then they set off.
Only about an hour later Maddie suddenly felt Danny's grip on her tighten and Danny began to shake violently. Maddie quickly set him down and looked fearfully at him. Danny hadn't had a shacking attack in a few days, so why was it suddenly coming back?
Danny only shook for a couple of minutes before he stopped. Any progress of getting better that he seemed to be making yesterday was now completely gone, he looked worse then before. Maddie put a hand to Danny's head and quickly yanked it away. His fever had sky rocketed and he just looked completely terrible.
Danny tried to get up, but just couldn't muster up any energy. So Maddie gently picked him up bridal style and they started walking again.
A few minutes later Danny suddenly started shivering and his teeth began to chatter.
"Does anyone have a jacket Danny could borrow?" Maddie asked, seeing how cold Danny was.
Surprisingly, Dash was the first to speak up. "Here, he can take my jacket," Dash said, taking off his jacket.
Maddie gently set Danny down and took the jacket from Dash. "Thanks," Maddie said. Then she helped Danny put the jacket on, and then she picked him back up.
"Thanks," Danny said gratefully to Dash.
"Yeah, whatever." Dash replied.
"Why did you give him your jacket?" Kwan asked.
"He looked like he needed it, and I don't see anyone else beside you with a jacket," Dash snapped.
"OK, OK, sorry, I was just asking." Kwan said, sticking his hands up.
As the day dragged on Danny's condition kept getting worse and worse. At random moments he would suddenly just stare blankly at nothing. He did it a couple of times while he was talking to someone. His shaking attacks were coming almost every hour, each one being long then the last one.
When it got to about three o'clock, Danny suddenly perked up and shouted to everyone. "Hey look, there is Frostbite's land!"
Everyone looked to see a island covered in snow and ice. Everyone immediately perked up seeing as they only had a little ways to go. Everyone redoubled there efforts and started moving at a quicker pace.
Once they reached Frostbite's land and entered the snow everyone shivered a little.
F-Frostbite h-has coats at his p-place," Danny said, shivering hard. The cold air was not helping him in the least.
Everyone nodded and sped up there pace, for everyone wanted to get out of the cold.
A few minutes later, Maddie suddenly stopped as Danny tensed up. She looked down at him to see his face scrunched up in pain. Danny started shaking harder than before to the point of looking as if he was convulsing.
"Danny!" Maddie cried, quickly setting him down in the snow.
Everyone quickly gathered around Danny and looked at him with concern. Everyone expected for Danny to stop but his shaking just got worse and it wouldn't stop.
"I'm going to run and get Frostbite, Danny needs help now!" Sam said quickly.
With that Sam took of running as fast as she could. "Please hang on, Danny!" Sam prayed.
