Still Dannys pov:
When I opened my eyes I immediately closed them again. The room was too bright. There were lamps in every corner of the room. And the white walls didn't make it better, it just made the light even brighter.
I rubbed my eyes and had to squint to see anything. I sat up from the floor I was currently laying on. My back cracking from the uncomfortable position. Then I looked around to observe my surroundings. Everything was white and looked really...Fluffy? It kinda looked like I was surrounded by pillows. Even the floor was soft. Mental room? When I remembered the situation I was in, I stood up which made me wobble a bit. It seems like I was still dizzy from the sedative.
The room was uncomfortably quiet, it was like I almost could hear my own heart beating.
"So you are awake? Good." I heard a voice say behind me, I harshly turned around, just to be met by no one. I Looked around to see if there were any speakers anywhere, but didn't see any. Either I had hit my head or I had already lost my mind.
"Where are you?" I asked. Eyes searching everywhere.
"Right here, Danny." The voice said and a man suddenly appeared in front of me. I yelped as I stumbled down onto the floor. His sudden appearance scared the shit out of me.
"My, My, someone is an easy scared one." The white/gray-haired man said with a smug look. His hair was in a low ponytail and he was wearing a black suit. Somehow I recognize this man, but couldn't remember from where...
"W-Who are you!?" I asked, half sitting on the floor.
"Sorry for not introducing myself, I'm Vlad Masters. The one in charge here." Vlad answered and my eyes widened. I had heard that name before.
"You!" I screamed at him.
"Me?"
"Yes, you! I know who you are! You are the one who made Phantom into an experiment." I added, standing up. Phantom had told me about Vlad, but the weird thing is that I have seen this man before...
"I saved his life." Vlad defended. Putting his hands behind his back.
"No! You told his parents he died. You lied to him and his parents. You're a monster!" I spat. My anger rising, pushing away my curiosity. This man made me sick.
"He would have died anyway, so I had the best opportunity to both save him and test my theories out." The older man said as if it were obvious. He looked down at me rubbing his chin and then smiled.
"You're sick," I stated and looked away. Vlad's stare was starting to burn holes in my skin. I was tempted to hit him just to make that smile and stare disappear. It must be something wrong with that man. He looked mad. Creepy smile, and eyes that told you nothing. Usually, I could read people's expressions, but Vlad's face told me nothing. Absolutely nothing.
"Hmm, you think so?" Vlad hymned, taking a step forward. I wanted to stay put, to show him that he didn't scare me, but when he went into my personal space I snapped and pushed him back.
"Stay the fuck away from me, you sick fruitloop!" I yelled at him. I could feel some kind of rush in my body, very likely adrenaline. But something that was weird, was that my eyes burned for some seconds and I could see very clearly. And not only that, did I just growl?
Vlad looked shocked, eyes wide and mouth slightly open. I was happy that I had succeeded to get rid of his smirk. But soon again Vlad smiled again and laughed.
"That's interesting." He said, looking at me in astonishment. His smile was even bigger now. I stepped back, suddenly feeling uneasy.
"I was thinking of using you to make Phantom listen to me for once, but now I have other reason too." He added, staring at me.
I was just about to ask Vlad what he meant, but fear came back when I realized something.
"Where's Phantom?" I asked, voice slightly shaking again.
"In his room." Vlad answered without any hesitation.
His room? I thought. Like this room? Or did he at least have a bed?
So many questions I wanted to ask, but didn't.
"I want to meet him." I said, but it was more like a demand. Vlad laughed and shook his head side to side.
"No, you may not." He simply answered, and my anger came rushing back. Jeez, my Emotions was all over this place.
"What do you mean, no? You can't just keep me and Phantom here. And by the way, where is 'here' exactly?"
Vlad sighed and backed away a few steps, like he was just about to leave. But how? I couldn't see any door.
"You're filled with questions, aren't you, hmm?" Vlad asked, and before I could even answer, Vlad disappeared. Just like that. Poof!
"The fuck?" I cursed. Was he like Phantom then? The thought made me shiver. I don't even want to imagine who he feeds from. Poor thing.
…
How long have I been here? I can't tell since my phone and watch was gone. Vlad had probably taken it from me, just to make me crazy or something. This room where to quiet for my liking. I had given up pacing back and forth a long time ago. I didn't see the point in it anymore. Vlad hadn't come back once since he left and I started to wonder if he had forgotten about me.
My stomach growled and so did I. Would Vlad just let me starve? Was that his plan?
I patted my belly, making a false promise to it that food would come soon. Hopefully...
A weird hissing sound startled me and I looked to my left, where the sound had come from. Two of the "wall pillows" had moved forward like a door. And apparently, it was a door. I walked forward excitingly seeing my freedom, but not really. When I stood at the door frame, I saw a long white shiny corridor. I questioned myself if this was some kind of test or trap, but my curiosity made me step forward.
I walked pretty slowly. I didn't know what to expect, so slowly and easy it is.
At the end of the corridor was a door. A normal looking white door with a silver knob. There was a small lamp under it that glowed green, so I guessed the door was unlocked. That, or I would get electrocuted by touch.
I held my breath as I grabbed the knob. When nothing happened I turned it and the door opened with a click. I didn't know what to expect, but a hospital room was the last thing I would have guessed. Or, well, this whole place smelled like a hospital, but I really hoped to meet Phantom… I really have to know if he's okay.
The pillow looking walls were gone and replaced with normal looking white walls.
In the middle of the room was an examination table with a small silver table beside it. In the left corner stood a hospital bed with mint green blankets. The right wall was lined with cabinets, that were filled with different things I couldn't name. To the left was also another door that was slightly opened and I could see that it was a bathroom.
The door behind me closed when I took a step inside the room. At the same time, a door opened beside one of the cabinets and a man stepped inside. He looked kinda young. Maybe around 25. He wore black clothes under his long white lab coat. He has black styled hair and was really tall. Phantom was 4 inches taller than me. This man must be like 8 inches taller than me. And I was around 5'6. Yeah, do the math yourself. He kinda looked like a younger version of doctor strange.
"Hi, Daniel. Glad that you found your way here." The man said and I wanted to laugh. It wasn't like I had to find my way through a labyrinth.
"Why am I here exactly?" I asked the tall man. Rubbing my left arm in the process. I never liked hospitals. They gave me the creeps.
"No one has told you?" He asked shocked.
"Um, No." I honestly answered.
The man rubbed his chin.
"Come, Daniel, let's sit down and I will explain." He said and gestured to a table with two white chairs to my right that I had missed. I sat down and so did the other person.
"I'm Dr. Andrew Moore. And from today you're my patient." He said and it wasn't until now I heard his weak British accent.
"My name is Dan.." he cut me off and continued for me. "Daniel Fenton, Yes I'm aware," Andrew said with a kind smile.
"Please, Danny." I insisted. No one called me Daniel these days.
"Okay, Danny. I'm just gonna do a fast checkup on you today, It shouldn't take so long." Andrew said and stood up. I did the same and followed him to the examination table.
"What kind of Checkup are you going to do?" I asked carefully as I sat down on the table. I know that I shouldn't just give in like this. But somehow I trusted this guy.
Andrew went to one of the cabinets and picked out some stuff that he put on a tray.
"Nothing special, just a small examination to test your general state of health." He answered as he walked back to me. I didn't say anything after that, just nodded.
"Here, you must be hungry," Andrew said and handed me a Snickers.
"It's not much, but that's the best I can give you for now." He added while I accepted the offer. I ripped open the plastic cover and three bites later, the Snickers was gone.
I hummed in satisfaction. It wasn't much, but it had to do for now.
…
Andrew checked my eyes, ears mouth, reflexes and so on. It was when he wanted a blood example I hesitated.
"Do you really have to?" I asked scared. I wasn't a big fan of needles. And I didn't trust him completely to take my blood.
"Yes Danny, but I promise you it will be quick." He said and put his hand on my shoulder in a reassuring gesture. He leaned down to better make eye contact, His almost black eyes seemed to lighten some, and once again, my doubts and fear disappeared. It was really weird, but I could trust this man. And by the way, he looked really good.
I lifted my arm without taking my eyes off his. Andrew smiled and took a hold of my arm. He picked up a needle and before I knew it, the needle was in place. Andrew then proceed to draw blood into a glass vial. When he was done he put on a small sticking plaster.
"Thank you, Danny, I would like you to drink this and then we are done for today," Andrew said and handed me a glass. I looked inside it and saw light green glowing water. My doubt came back and I wanted to put the glass away.
"What is it?" I asked without looking up.
"Nothing bad, promise you. Some vitamins." Andrew answered as he put his hands in his pockets. Standing in front of me and waited for me to drink.
I didn't ask more and drank it fast. It didn't taste much. My stomach felt cold after and I coughed. It looked like blue mist escaped my mouth, but that must be my imagination.
"One more thing before you can leave." The good-looking man said and handed me a plastic bag. I was about to ask him where I would go, but he would probably say that later anyway.
I looked inside the bag and saw some kind of fabric. I picked it up and it turned out to be a tight jumpsuit. Black and white.
"And why do I need this?" I asked while standing up from the table.
"To be honest Danny, I do not know. It's an order from Vlad." He answered and turned around to give me some privacy.
"Of course it is," I mumbled to myself as I started to strip. I folded my clothes and put them on the table beside me. Then I stepped inside the suit. I pulled up the zipper and I was shocked. This thing was comfy.
"Done?"
"yes."
Andrew turned around and nodded.
"Good," he then said and headed to the door he had entered from.
"Come. I will show you where you should go next." Andrew added and glanced back at me.
"Where?" I asked as I followed him. This time he didn't answer and I guessed that he hadn't heard me.
We stepped out from the Hospital room and into another hall. Like before, the door behind me closed itself. This hall looked more like a labyrinth. I wondered how Andrew didn't get lost here.
While we were walking I thought about my family and friends. What would happen when they noticed I was gone?
"We're here." Andrew suddenly said pointing to the door we had stopped in front of.
"Good luck Danny, My work is done." Was all he said and started to leave.
"Wait!" I exclaimed. "What am I supposed to do?" I added. looking back and forth from the door to Andrew.
"Just do as they say and you will be fine. See ya later Danny!" Andrew said without looking back, and then he was gone. I questioned myself if I should run after him and demand a better explanation. But to be honest, I would just get lost in these corridors. So I looked back at the door, just to see the red lamp turn green and I opened the door.
It was another mental room and I sighed.
Really, I thought. But my annoyance was soon gone when the door on the opposite wall opened. Anger came flowing back when I saw Molly Step inside the door. I really hated her. How could she help a monster like Vlad? How could a human be that evil? But then I remembered, she wasn't human. I was about to curse something at her, but then I saw two other guys that I had never seen before step inside. Both of them wore white lab coats like Andrew. In their hands were silver chains leading to a pair of thick handcuffs. My eyes widened when I looked behind them. It was Phantom who wore those handcuffs. His head hung low and his hair was a mess. He had the same jumpsuit as me and I still wondered what was so special with this outfit.
I whispered his name, that I didn't think he would hear, but to my surprise, he did. Phantom jerked his head up and when our eyes met,
all hell broke loose.
