*splash* "ahh!" Danny yelled, cold-water dripping down his face, he looked frantic surveying the place, "W-what? W-where a-am I?" Danny said shivering from the cold.

"You're in a cell kid, boss said to wake you up. Wanted to meet you or something" a man's voice said, and then the door swung open. "don't go to sleep again kid, boss will be… annoyed, and I'll tell you, my way of waking you up is much more subtle than his"

With that the sound of a heavy door shutting vibrated in the cold stony room.

Danny shivered once again, the cold air that went inside the room making him feel chilly.

Danny tucked himself in order to stay warm, his arm hugging his legs, he idly noted that his broken leg healed a little. It still stung but it looked more like a big bruise.

'how long was I asleep?' Danny thought, he looked at his surroundings, stone walls and floor, damp, dark and freezing. Danny cringe and mumbled "Mom, Dad, big sis, big bro, Jazz… Nunnally" Danny silently wept.

Danny's POV

I don't know how long, it felt hours but it could very well be just a few minutes, I felt cold, its dark here and I don't like it. I want my family back.

Just then the door opened again, and I saw a well dress man with white hair and red eyes, I shivered looking at them.

"Hello my boy, how are you? My men are treating you right, I hope?" he said, his words laced with so much sarcasm that I would have chuckled. But there was something about this person, something bad.

"W-who are you?" I stammered out, my teeth chattering due to the cold cell.

"Hmm, maybe we should change the scenery. You're shivering to death, and I still have some use for you to let you die just yet" The man said casually, I was horrified 'I-I'm going to die?' I thought scared, this man just said he'll let me die once his done with whatever he needs from me.

But why? Why me? I'm just a Kid! What can I have that he wants?!

I started to back away "S-stay away from me! I-I want my mom! P-please let me go…" I'm scared, scared of what he'll do to me, but I'm more scared that I won't see my love ones again.

He rolled his eyes at me, and looked more annoyed at my actions. "Now Daniel, no need to be so afraid of your dear old uncle" he said smoothly.

I widen my eyes at the revelation "Y-your lying! M-mom or D-dad would have t-told us if we h-had an uncle!" I denied it, what kind of uncle would do, t-this! Say this! In front of their nephew! It just isn't right! He has to be lying!

He just smirked coldly "I'm a little hurt that my good old pals the Fentons would forget little ol me" he feints being sad and depressed, a little dramatic I would say.

"And to have my nephew, look at me in fear! Such, such! A predictable reaction" He said, as he grabbed my arm forcefully standing me up, I wince when I felt weight on my hurt leg and dragged me out of the cold cell, I was in.

"Your just as stubborn as your ouf of a father" he said it with unhidden hate and loathing, Why does he hate my dad?

We walked, well I was being dragged to who knows where, and a pit started to form in my chest, my heart was beating faster and faster. I was starting to sweat, I', afraid of what will happen once we stop walking.

Soon after we reached heavy metal door, I doubt even breacher charge can even dent it. It soon opened and I saw just how thick it was, about 4 inches, steel and has some rust on it but it wont compromise the whole door.

Blinding light invaded my vision, it was either we were entering a bright room or outside, but by how warm I felt, I think we are going outside.

I let my vision adjust, squinting a few times, but I manage to see where we are, it was an ornate looking room, beautifully crafted tapestries and custom-made furniture with regal looking patters.

In the center was a long oak table, intricate with designs and symbols, on the far right of it was the outside world separated by glass, we were apparently in a forested area, by the many trees and birds I can see through the massive window.

I can see a spread of food on the table, ham, steak, fresh fruit and drinks. My mouth started to water, even in my situation I couldn't help my stomach grumbling for food.

"Its all right young Daniel, I always found that treating someone with hospitality will almost always listen to what you want" The man said with a smile, I still didn't know his name, and once more his mood changed, just a minute ago he was forcefully dragging me here, annoyed and looked ready to just kill me.

But now he was acting like the perfect host… his dangerous, very dangerous, people as chaotic like him are bad, that was what Jazz said anyway. People with bipolar are unpredictable and must be cautious around them.

So I just nodded, I'm scared that he might do something, and with me being alone I don't want that to happen. I gathered my resolve, its clear that I'm alone in this for now, so I need to endure and play along, wait until my family can rescue me.

I know they will.

I sat down on the end of the table; the man sat on the other.

"Please Daniel, help yourself, the chef gave extra effort in making theses" the man said smiling while cutting himself a piece of Ham. He started to eat gracefully, not so different from how other aristocrats would act if invited to a dinner party from other nobles.

I gulp and slowly got some chicken tenders, some greens and a piece of Ham and an apple.

"You have quite the balance diet there Daniel, not many children would willingly eat their vegetables" the man praised me, wanting to start a conversation.

I asked him a question instead "Who are you? Where are we? And where are they?" 'that was maybe a little top straight forward, but I need to know' I thought.

The man raised an eyebrow and looked amused instead of offended that I ignored his compliment. "straight forward, and to the point. I like those kinds of people, less of a headache to talk to." He praised, really if he wasn't a bipolar and told me he would let me die, I might be convinced he really is my uncle.

"But to answer your question, I am Vladimir Krushevsky Masters. You're in one of my estates hidden from the public and a grave few know off. And your parents and brother are fine, but I hear your two sisters are frantic after I had my men blow up your home when they were out shopping" Vlad said casually.

I stood up, looking at him in horror "W-what!?" I yelled

Once again, he looked annoyed and rubbed his ears "You have a habit yelling that world Daniel, I would have expected a child of your birth to know more… appropriate and sophisticated words"

I just hung my mouth open slowly backing away from this, this monster "Y-you ordered them…" the realization of who this man is came bearing down on my mind "Y-you where the one, Y-you had them all killed…" I was in shock, sitting Infront of me casually eating and making conversation was the man that killed the people close to me.

The servants of our house were not just strangers we order around, they are family 'was' I corrected grimly.

"Oh? Finally figured it out, I commend you Daniel, but tell me." his one of his eyes suddenly glowed green, and before I knew it, I was locked in place, my body not listening to my brain to move.

Panic started to take root, as my body started to move on its own, it walked stiffly to Vlad, his green and red eyes boring into mine, I filched and looked away, but can't.

The mounting horror must have shown on my face, as Vlad started to smile, a cold and sadistic smile that made me shiver.

"H-How A-are y-you d-d-doing this" I said trying to speak

He didn't answer until I was right Infront of him, because he was sitting and I was standing we were at eye level. His aura of intimidation laid bare before me; I felt my legs give out but I was still standing.

"Do you want to know?" he asked a cocky smirk on his face, he bent down and whispered into my ear and said coldly "I killed the dead and now I command the living"

I froze at how malicious and vile his tone was, it was as if he was drowning in insanity, and he merely wore a mask and takes it off when he wants to.

"You want to see your family, correct? Then I shall honor your request" Vlad said and but his voice started to muffle at the end as I realize I was blacking out a second time.

Third person POV

Danny was slowly waking up again, he held his head and mumbled "what is it with Bad guys and knocking me out?" despite the situation he still has his humor to fall back to.

"heh, good one Danny"

Danny eyes widen and whirled to look behind him, it was his older brother.

"Big bro Matt!" Danny stood and launched himself in the embrace of Matthew, despite the sting he was feeling in his leg. "I'm so glad! Where is mom and dad? How are you? How long have we been here?"

"woah, easy there little brother, I'm still sore because of the person behind this" Matt said wincing when Danny hugged his side a little too tight.

"Oh uh, sorry?" Danny said rubbing his head in shyly.

Matthew or Matt laughed "Its alright Danny…" silence rein in their little cell before Matt continued to speak. "I'm sorry Danny, I was too weak, they took Mom and Dad who knows where, and that was 3 days ago…" Matt said ashamed bowing his head "I couldn't save them, or our family back in the mansion… please forgive me Danny"

Danny looked at his adoptive elder brother in shock, as long as he has been alive Matt has never shown this level of weakness, he and Morgan were always the resolute and strong-willed members of the family, and seeing his brother in all but blood breaking down and about to cry disheartened him.

But it also made him mad, mad at the people who did this, mad at Vlad for ordering them to ruin and hurt his family. So, he swore on that day, on that moment he will bring Vlad to justice for his crimes.

Danny hugged his brother again "Big brother, please, don't lose hope, you still have me, big sis Morgan, Jazz, mom and dad. We will never fault you for being weak, we will never hold it against you for what happened, and I am sure the others will not blame you for not saving them. You did your best and saved most of our family. So please don't blame yourself"

Matt snorted "You really have ways with words Danny, even though your still a kid" Matt hugged Danny back "Thanks, little brother, I promise we will get him for this, I will protect you, Jazz and Morgan, and we will find mom and Dad"

Danny smiled "See, now how will we get out-" Danny was cut off when an explosion rang out the prison they were in.

"Wh-what was that?" Danny asked surprised.

Matt narrowed his eyes "Danny get behind me and be as far away from the door as possible."

Danny hearing the steel in Matt's voice nodded, several grueling minutes passed and soon heavy footstep were heard outside of their cell.

Matt tensed and Danny was trembling a little, but was ready to listen to whatever his older brother was going to say.

"Here! They said the young lord was kept here!" Danny and Matt heard someone.

"What the hell are you waiting for?! Open it! I will not have Daniel be kept in a cold dank cell any longer!" a strong and commanding voice ordered.

Matt and Danny knew that voice, and soon their door was busted open and in came the royal army of Britannia, and walking in with stoic coldness with a hint of worry is Cornelia li Britannia, princess of the Holy Britannian Empire, one of the most successful military leaders the nation ever has.

"Daniel! Matthew!" Cornelia voiced as she made her way to them, Danny and Matthew stiffen at the look she was giving them. But relaxed when she hugged them tight, normally she will only show this amount of affection to Euphemia and Nunnally and maybe Lelouch, But the Fentons have been friends with the li britannia's for as long as Cornelia has remembered.

It didn't help that Cornelia saw Jazz as much of a little sister as she saw Euphemia, and thus she saw Danny and to a degree Matthew cherished siblings.

"I was so worried, after the attack in the Aries villa I prepared for the worse" Cornelia said letting her stoic and emotionless mask fall. The soldier that followed her had the decency to look away and leave the siblings a time alone.

"W-what happened in the Aries Villa?" Danny asked fearful.

Cornelia stiffens, something both Matthew and Danny saw, she broke the hug and ordered two soldiers to support Matthew as she was the one to carry Danny.

If it weren't such a serious situation the soldiers would have melted at the cuteness of Cornelia of all people carrying a child in her arms such loving care and protectiveness of a mother that it would shatter her public image.

But one glare from her made the soldier rigid and held a silent promise 'tell anyone of this and I will gut you' the threat was clear and the soldiers nodded as Cornelia walked out of the prison still carrying Danny.

"U-um, your highness?" Danny asked

Cornelia look at him and whispered "When we are in the car Daniel, I'll tell you and Matthew, so please be patient" Danny nodded and waited.

It was silent in the royal car as they made their way to the best hospital in the empire, Cornelia looked at the battered forms of Matthew and Danny, silently cursing who ever did this to them 'they will pay, I should tell Dalton to increase the torture of the captured scum'

"Um, Big sis Cornelia?" Danny asked meekly, "C-can you tell us what happened in the Aries Villa?"

Cornelia regarded Danny for a moment before looking at Matthew, someone at first she despised because he was not a pure Britannian, but he time and time again proved himself and thus earned her trust.

"Before That Daniel, I want to know what happened to you and your family, your sisters are safe and with Lelouch as we speak, Jasmine was frantic, while Morgan was cursing and using their guards as stress relief" Cornelia snorted in amusement "She punched them so hard that they sang soprano for 2 minutes straight".

A chuckle escape Danny and Matthew, the first smile in days gracing their lips.

"My sister will never change" Matthew said with mirth, before adopting a serious expression.

He soon started to recount what he remembered, the attack, his and Danny's capture, the 4 days he was in that cold cell.

"That was about it, but" He then turned to Danny "Danny talked to the Bastard that planned all this"

The two adults then looked at Danny, he sucked in a breath at being put on the spot, seeing this Cornelia said "It's ok of you don't want to talk about it for now Daniel, you and your Family had a long week…us too" she said the last one in a whisper.

Danny shook his head "N-no, its fine, he didn't really told me much, just a name and some other creepy stuff I didn't listen too. He was threating me… in some insane way"

Cornelia looked in thought "Vladimir Krushevsky Masters, only information we have on him was he went missing years ago, but why did he appear now?"

"Cornelia" Matthew called her name, to some this was a sign of disrespect towards a royal, to the Fentons, its alright in private. "What happened in the Aries Villa?"

Danny went rigid, a bad feeling coming forth in his mind 'please, no, not them' he thought desperately, like he knew what had happed.

Cornelia paused and a look of shame, disgust and above all sadness came to her, in a defeated voice she said "Lady Marian was assassinated, Nunnally was crippled In the attack, Lelouch is fine physically, but mentally he is about to explode, only Jasmines presence is holding him back from storming parliament and demanding father an explanation of how his mother was killed"

Danny and Matthew froze.

Matthew was the first to recover "when was this?"

"The same time your House was attacked" Cornelia answered, both their eyes met, a silent conversation between them, as they both knew what to think 'this was coordinated' attacking both the Fentons and the Vi Britannia's on the same day? Coincidence no, it was planned, most likely by the person that struck the Fentons.

Matthew said in a low growl "Masters…"

Danny however froze when he hears Nunnally was hurt, flashes of a bloody and dull eyed Nunnally invaded his imagination, soon the images of the dead servants came back, their soulless eyes looking into his.

Danny started beathed heavily, he was trembling, he was scared but most of all he felt weak, so pathetically weak. Soon a deep hatred formed in his mind, one that will resurface once face to face with the man who hurt so many of his precious people.

Danny mumbled something the other two didn't hear

"What was that, Danny?" Matthew asked his brother.

Danny's face was shadowed by his hair and as soon as he lifted his face to look at them, both Cornelia and Matthew Faught back flinch. As they look into the menacing blue orbs of a child that has suffered and wants to take revenge.

"I want to become strong, strong enough to protect the people close to me" he stared at them long and hard "Please help me train" the conviction in his voice impressed and unnerved Cornelia.

"A fine Goal Daniel, but withhold it for now" the car stopped moving "we are now at the hospital, worry not, your rooms will be as close to Nunnally's as possible Daniel" Cornelia got out first while helping Danny out.

Matthew was helped by the nurses.

As they were placed in their rooms, Danny made a promise 'I will bring Vlad to justice, and find mom and dad.'
