Back with part 2! Hope you like it :p You may need to reread chapter 5.

Btw, I know the updating is slow… I blame it on school like I always do. Also, it could be the fact that me and my friend have started an wattpad account(LIMONAVA) with a new book.

Phantom:

Slowly, I started to regain consciousness. I lifted my arm to rub my headache away, but noticed that I couldn't, and my eyes snapped wide open in terror. I looked to my right to see my hand was handcuffed to the side, and my other hand was the same. I was on the bed in the white empty room. I started to panic and tug my hands, trying to yank them free. I had seen on a movie that the character broke his hand, in order to get free, but I know I wasn't capable doing that.

I wanted to scream for help, but who would hear me? I was three floors down.

What had I agreed to? Why didn't I just do what my mom told me, to wait and talk to my doctors before I decided? Maybe the doctors would know who this Vlad was.

What had the man meant, by the way? 'Make you special?'

What did he plan to do with me? I didn't want to be special! I just wanted to get healthy and go back to my family...

I felt tears stinging my eyes. I just wanted to go home...

The Ding! from the elevator brought me back from my thoughts. The doors opened and I saw (what I assumed was) Vlad and Molly stepping out before the doors closed again. I couldn't see well, since they had removed my glasses... But I could see that Vlad rolled in a medical cart with a black box on it.

They approached me and stood on each side of the bed. The cart was behind Vlad now. I glared at the box, not trusting the contents. What if it was a gun? Maybe they had decided that my life wasn't worth saving and wanted to put me out of my misery. Vlad was smiling as usual and had his hands behind his back. Molly however showed no emotion on her face. She stood there for a moment staring down at the floor, hands hanging on each side of her. But when she made eye contact with me, she smirked and her joyless eyes stared down at me with admiration. But she also looked...hungry? Like if her eyes could, they would eat me right here and now. I continued to stare at her for some reason and as she did the same, she started to breath faster.

"Molly, I know what you are thinking... And don't." I heard Vlad say, firmly.

'Don't what?' I thought, still staring at her, trying to read her mind.

When she heard him say that her gray eyes changed to yellow. I yelped and flinched away from her, and I would have crawled away if the handcuffs had let me.

What was she?! There was no way a human could have done that! I knew I saw something similar before, but I had thought it was a side effect from the sedative.

"I know I know..." She said and looked at Vlad, but then she looked back down at me again and added, "But I just love his green eyes!" Molly defended, smiling down at me. She took a seat beside me on the bed and I moved as far away from her as the handcuffs let me. This couldn't be the same person who picked me up from the car!

"I can't wait 'til he's like me!" Molly spoke again, and literally purred.

What? 'Like her?' A monster?! I turned my head to stare at Vlad with widened eyes.

"Don't look so frightened, David. I'm going to save you," Vlad said, standing there.

" By turning me into a m-monster!?" I asked, with a shaky voice, but regretted it when Molly growled beside me. "Watch your mouth kid!" she snarled, her round pupils changing into slits like a cat's. I could see that her canines was extended, like a vampire, only worse.

This couldn't be real, she couldn't be real. Monsters didn't exist! This have to be a dream. A bad dream I would laugh about. A joke! I would wake up soon and call my friends and tell them about my hilarious dream.

I didn't realize that Vlad had opened the black box until I saw the syringe he was holding. The contents were dark red, like really dark. Almost black. He handed the syringe carefully to Molly and when she had the (a little too big) syringe in her hands, she looked down at me and hummed.

Why did he hand it over to her?! When Vlad turned around to the table again, I understood; he had picked up another syringe, and this one contained some glowing green liquid.

What was it? And why did it glow?

He turned back again and leaned down toward me. "W-Wait!" I yelled, but he barely paused.

"We can't wait, David. Your condition is getting worse every day and we need to work quickly," Vlad said, while he aimed the needle against the side of my neck.

Vlad couldn't be human, how could a human work with a monster? Was he a monster too? Why else would he do this to me? I knew that I was weak and dying, but I didn't deserve this! I was told there was a cure! Not some kind of... Experiment.

"No! W-wait, sto-" I tried to beg, but he pushed the needle in and started to inject me with that glowing stuff. When he was done, I instantly felt coldness spreading from my neck, running through my veins. I started to cough when it reached my lungs, because every breath felt really cold. I could see small clouds of mist escape my mouth every time I breathed out. I looked at Vlad, who seemed to observe every little move I made.

Every single muscle in my body tensed and felt really sore. Then my eyes started to burn. I pinched my eyes closed, but when it didn't help the pain, I opened them again. But I didn't expect what I saw. My sight... Got better? Not just better, it was perfect. I could see every small detail on everything.

Molly gasped when I opened my eyes. Why? What happened to my eyes besides my sight improving to get that reaction from Molly?

My whole body felt cold now, but it wasn't unpleasant anymore. It felt like it was a part of me, and I hated it! This shouldn't feel normal.

"What did you do to me?" I asked, out of breath. Everything felt weird. My skin was tingling and felt tender. I looked down on my hand and saw that I was really pale. And I had fought for a tan for so many years!

"I'm going to explain everything later, but first let us finish with your treatment, hmm?" Vlad said and looked up at Molly. It was then I remembered that there was another unused syringe.

"This one will not be so pleasant," I heard Molly warn, but didn't get the chance to look at her before I felt her pressing in the needle on the other side of my neck. The first shot didn't hurt that much, everything just felt sore after it and cold.

But this shot hurt...

Like hell.

I screamed the moment she started injecting the dark liquid; it felt like someone poured lava down my throat, and it spread. I started to choke on nothing. If my hands wasn't stuck down to the bed, I would be grabbing and clawing my throat. The pain was so intense and my heart was beating so fast that I thought it would explode.

My back arched from the bed when the lava pain reached my back, making me squirm more. My sight started to fade from black to normal.

I thought that this was it, I was dying. God had finally heard my prayers and I would finally have peace. My family would move on and be happy again. No more suffering, no more grief.

I stopped struggling. My body stilled and I was now just staring at the white ceiling. But I couldn't stop breathing heavily. My lungs didn't calm down, and neither did my heart.

I heard Molly and Vlad talking, but were they talking to me or each other? I couldn't tell. The smirk on Vlad's face was gone and it looked like he and Molly were arguing. Molly looked pissed off at Vlad. But when she looked down at me, she looked worried. One of her hands held my arm and her touch felt warm. So, so warm.

Finally when I thought everything was over, the pain increased. My eyes closed and I screamed. I screamed and screamed until everything went black, and I thought that I had finally died.

...

When I woke up, I expected to feel pain or at least to feel sore. But I felt nothing. Actually, I felt strong and... Hungry? How long had I been unconscious? It felt like I hadn't eaten for days. But why did I feel so strong? Shouldn't I feel weak, exhausted?

I lifted my head from the pillow to see if Vlad and Molly were around, and to my delight, they weren't. I lifted my hand to see if I still was handcuffed, and then something weird happened; the chain snapped, and my right hand was free.

"What the?" I whispered.

I did the same with my other hand and legs, and then I was free. I jumped out of the bed, rubbed my wrists and looked around again. Everything looked the same, except the oblong mirror in the corner. I considered it for a moment before I decided to go to it.

When I could see myself, I gasped and my eyes were once again wide in disbelief. My hair was white, my skin pale and my eyes... My eyes were glowing plasma green. I didn't look anything like myself. What did they do to me?!

I backed away from the mirror and someone chuckled behind me. I recognized that sound and I turned around sharply to look at Molly. She had removed her white lab coat and was only wearing a black shirt and loose black pants.

"I really love those eyes." She purred, and I growled. When I realized what I had done, I took a step back. Did I really growl at her? What was I, an animal?

Molly seemed to notice my distress and laughed again. "Don't worry kid, that's a normal reaction for us," she said and smirked.

Us?

My body started to shake in anger. I had never felt that angry before. I was nothing like her! My finger started to sting and twitch, my upper back hurt and my eyes started to burn. I didn't understand why, but I couldn't really care less right now.

"This will be fun," Molly said, and roared. Like she was challenging me. The weird thing is, that I roared back at her, accepting the challenge.

I watched as Molly's fingertips grew into long black talons, her pupil turning to slits. Then her shirt ripped at the back, and a large pair of bat wings grew from her.

I didn't have time to think about it before she launched herself at me. I tried to dodge her by stepping aside, but she grabbed me by my throat and pushed me hard to the floor. The impact made me gasp and my hands grasped the hand that was holding my throat; it wasn't until then that I realized my fingers also had black talons.

"That was too easy," Molly laughed, which made my anger turn into rage. I lifted my knees to my chest and kicked Molly in the stomach. She was thrown of me and I jumped up. Molly was already on her feet and she growled. This time I ran at her, but she easily dodged me, grabbed my shoulder, bent me down, and kneed me in the stomach. Then she threw me away from her.

I didn't surrender though. I ran to her once again, and this time she failed to dodge. I grabbed her throat and slammed her down onto the floor. My vision was electric green and I was so, so angry. I straddled her and then my back started to burn more, right before I heard a tearing sound behind me. In my shadow I saw a pair of black demon wings grew out from my back, but I was too angry to be scared or upset.

I looked down at Molly and I roared. My wings extended fully and my roar was deafening. I had won, and she needed to know that.

Molly actually looked concerned for a moment, but then she looked to the side of the room and smiled.

"Very well my boy. I see that you have already accepting yourself," Vlad said, leaning against the wall. I snapped out of my rage and jumped away from Molly, all emotions slamming back at me in full force. I staggered back and widened my eyes at no one.

What had I just done?

I looked to my left, were the mirror was standing. My pupils was slits, my fingers long and sharp. And then there was those big black wings coming out from my back.

"What have you done to me?!" I screamed at Vlad. "I didn't ask for this!" I hugged myself, suddenly feeling empty and alone.

"You were dying, Phantom!" Vlad said, as if that would explain everything.

...hold on a minute.

"Phantom?" I asked. Vlad laughed.

That's it for the flashback. It was supposed to be rushed, don't want to drag it out.

Hmmm I'm curious about how Danny's parents will react about the missing ghost. Btw, I'm halfway with the next chapter, and I think It will be out 22-28 february. (Maybe earlier) I'm trying to get a monthly updating, but I can't promize.
