Author's Notes: Thank you to all who reviewed my fic.

Miriam1: I hope the religious elements didn't offend you, I try to keep it to a minimum and figure turning to Divine is a natural thing to do when faced against a supernatural monster like Freddy Krueger. Yes it is nice that chief Suarez is going to attend Paulina's funeral. I had to look up what that saying means but yes Freddy got a taste of his own medicine. You'll have to continue reading to find out about Danni and who this 'Clock Master' is.

Smallvillegirl2: I'm not giving anything way in that respect, that's okay as I said there was a problem and the notifactions for the new chapters didn't go through. Horror is sort of a acquired taste but I thank you for the compliment.

Chapter XXXVIII: Shadow Play

Jazz

"DANNY!" I called out as I searched through the Ghost Zone hopping to find my siblings. Something in my gut told me that they were in trouble and needed me. "Come on Danny, if this is a joke this isn't funny," I told him as if he could hear me but knew that wasn't true.

The Zone was even more creepy than usual with a lot of ghosts apparently laying in comas, "I have a bad feeling," I said shuddering as I wondered through the realm but stopped when I heard a noise and hid behind a rock.

"I thought I heard Jazz here," Sam's voice said as I saw her peek out from the Specter Speeder and look around.

"I'm here!" I shouted out as I floated over to the Speeder and got inside, "am I glad to see you," I say as I buckle up.

"Same here, you looking for Danny too?" Speed asks as he enters some coordinates in the vehicle's computer and take off.

"Yeah something tells me that something is wrong and needs my help," I told him silently hoping that my brother and sister were safe and sound.

Emilano Suarez



"I appreciate you coming back, Emilano," Agapito said as I entered his house and walked to the living room. "Cardinal, may I present Jefe Emilano Suarez of the police department of Miracle City, Mexico," he said as I removed my hat knelt down before him.

"Su eminencia," I said as I kissed his ring as a sign of respect.

"Rise, we're virtually brothers," he said smiling as I stood up, "it is nice to see you again Emilano, I just wish this could be under better circumstances," he said as he invited me to sit down.

"I agree," I told my cousin and friend sadly as Agapito brought us something to drink, "have you made plans for the Masa?" I asked him as he nodded.

"Yes it will be held at Pope St. Sylvester's cathedral downtown, I will be celebrating along with Fr. Donaldson," Cardinal Sanchez told me as I nodded. "I will be there," I tell him solemnly.

"Will you be a pallbearer?" Agapito asks me warmly, "It would mean a lot to me Emilano," he says as think for a second.

"Me honrarían," I said as the two brothers smiled.

"If you would excuse me, I have to make the final preparations," Amilcar said as we stood up kissed his ring before he left the room.

Danny

"Danielle," I gasped as I gathered my strength and lifted myself up, I could tell that we were no longer in Danielle's nightmare but back on Hel Island.

I crawled on the course glassy sand wincing as it dug into my wounds and made my way over to where she was laying.

"Danni can you hear me," I ask her as I try to position my arms under her body, a difficult task when your hands are useless pieces of flesh and bone torn in half and infected.

"Dan…ny," she rasps out, I can tell it hurts for her to breathe with that glove in her chest but I was afraid to remove it lest it makes it worse for her.

"Shh, it's okay Danni, you're going to be just fine," I tell her as she coughs up blood and saliva, "I have you Danielle," I tell her using my wrist to brush the hair out of her face while trying to fight back tears.

"I…," she begins to say with shallow breaths.

"You can tell me when we get home," I tell her as I kiss her forehead and holding her close to me, I will not let her die.

"What a touching a scene," I heard a voice said as I looked up and saw Dan standing in front of us, "a pity I have to end it," he said wrenching the girl from my arms and throwing her to the ground.



"Danielle," I screamed as loud as I could as I tried to run to get her but was stopped by Dan who lifted me off the ground by the neck. "What…are…you..," I rasped out as he laughed.

"Doing? Simple, you really didn't think I helped out of the goodness of my heart," he said smiling, "No, I did this simply to get a chance to be free and kill you," he said raising a glowing fist to me ready to do me in.

Miles

"Clockwork! Clockwork!" I shouted looking for the time master, I had a terrible vision of Danielle in danger and wanted him to save her but he was nowhere to be found. While I was searching I heard a noise in another room.

I snuck into a corner and saw the Observants searching the tower, they seemed mad about something no doubt Clockwork did something to annoy them.

"He couldn't have gone far," one of them said as they split up and went into separate rooms.

"I have to find him," I said but before I could another vision hit me, "Danni," I said between sobs as I felt her try to cling to life, please hang in there, please.

Valerie

"You can go see him now," the nurse said as I walked into my dad's room. He was still anesthetized and a peaceful look crossed his face.

"Hey dad, how you doing," I told him as I went to hold his hand but I felt nothing underneath the sheets, "dad?" I asked horrified as I pulled back,

"The bullet had severed too many bones and blood vessels to save, we had to amputate his right arm to prevent infection," the doctor said as I turned to him.

"What?" I asked him as trying to fight back tears at those words.

"There was a lot of infection in there and amputation was the only to prevent from spreading," he said as he left me to be alone.

I could hold my tears my tears no longer and collapsed on his chest crying.

I know I should be grateful he's alive but this struck too close to home.

My mother died from a severe muscle infection and when they went to amputate the stupid doctor made a mistake and it cost her life. Since then I cringe when I hear the word amputate and memories of that sad day fill my mind, but I also have hope that everything went as it should be.
