After everything, Vlad brought me to this room. Another mental room. But this one wasn't white. Instead, it was black. I don't know how long I have been sitting in this corner. My back and butt hurt, so I guess it's been a while. Phantom was left behind so I have no idé where he is. To be honest though, I want to be alone for a while. No more mythical creatures to mess with my mind. Everyone around me right now wasn't human. Not even Phantom. They didn't say what Andrew is, but I will probably find out soon enough.

Somehow I was angry at Phantom, but I knew I shouldn't be. Nothing was his fault. I don't know why my eye color is messed up, but I think it has to do something with that time when my eyes did glow green for a second.

Phantom must have accidentally done something to me.

But what? And are my body going to change more?

I looked down at my hands, just to make sure they looked normal. And lucky me, they do.

A random door I didn't know existed, opened, and Phantom was pushed inside. The guards in white lab coats didn't say anything before they left. Closing the door after them.

Phantom looked distressed at first, but then he saw me.

"Danny," He sighed in relief and started walking to me. His mask had been removed, but he still had his hands handcuffed, just like me.

"Please Phantom. I just want to be alone right now." I said, hugging my knees. Phantom didn't stop and when he was one meter from me, he crouched down. Looking intently at me.

"Danny, I'm sorry for how I acted before. The stuff Vlad gives me does that to me." Phantom apologies, which just made me angrier.

"Are you seriously apologizing about that?" I spat. "My eyes are fucking half green and you think I'm bothered about your behavior?" I added and looked away from the teenager in front of me.

Phantom frowned.

"I have no idé why your eyes are almost green, Danny. I'm as confused as you. But we will figure this out. Together!" Phantom said and leaned forward, trying to take an hold of my hand. But I jerked it away, stood up and went to the other corner to sit down.

"Danny?"

"No Phantom! I don't know what the fuck you did to me, but I want you to undo it!" I yelled, feeling my eyes burn more, which made me look away and glare at the floor. Probably my eyes just glowed or something.

"You think I did this to you on purpose?" Phantom growled.

"How should I know? You have been spending time with that sick shit, called Vlad. So how should I know? You could be lying to me right now!" I growled back at him, that ended up in a half yell/roar, in anger. Anger at myself. I didn't want to growl! I'm a human, not a monster!

"So you think I'm a monster now huh?" Phantom asked.

Apparently, I had accidentally said my thoughts aloud.

"Thanks, Danny. Say something I don't know." He sadly said and leaned his back against the opposite wall. I could feel regret flooding back but I pushed it away with my anger.

The room went quiet for a good while. I could hear the ventilation running and the same with my heart and lungs. I could hear every breath I took, thanks to the uncomfortable quit atmosphere.

"I'm sorry." We both said at the same time. Which made us laugh.

"You're not a monster Phantom, you are far from it," I said and smiled lightly. Phantom just smiled back but didn't say anything, which meant that he probably didn't agree with me. And that bothered me.

"And I'm sorry that I brought you into my mess," Phantom said and looked down on the floor.

"Well, it was actually me who jumped into your mess. I could have ignored you in that alley, but I didn't." I tried to comfort him.

"Done is done, right?" Phantom then said and I nodded.

"Right, let's just try to escape this mess together," I answered and stood up and Phantom did too. I headed to him and hugged him as I apologies again.

After the hug, we started looking around in the room.

As expected, there was a camera in every roof corner and we found out that every wall had a door.

Weird

This room was weird, and so was the whole situation. What was Vlad waiting for? Why did he put us in the same room and then just leave us? Did he expect us to do something?

My thoughts were disturbed when one of the doors opened and to my surprise, Andrew stepped inside.

"Hi Danny." Andrew said and completely ignored Phantom. Not even trying to hide it.

"Hi?" I said back, wondering why he was here.

"Vlad send me to tell you about your blood sample." He smiled and Phantom to my surprise looked unsure. I looked at Phantom, trying to read him. But I couldn't even make eye contact with him, because he was to busy having a staring contest with the floor.

"Don't worry about him now Danny. Right now you just need to focus on me." Andrew said, and suddenly my worry about Phantom slipped away. It was like everything around Andrew became blurry, while he himself was clearer than ever.

"Nice! However, as Vlad and I thought, You have somehow gotten ICS in you."

My eyes widened. I remembered clearly what that was. It was the stuff that made Phantom an incubus. But I haven't been close to that 'poison', have I?

"How?" I asked.

Andrew just smiled like this all was a wonderful thing.

And I had thought he was nice.

"We think that Phantom may have transported it to you." He casually answered.

"How?" I asked again

"We don't know. That's why you're so special. What is happening to you shouldn't even be possible."

"Wonderful..." I muttered. I wanted to look at Phantom, but some invisible wall made sure I could not. It was something with Andrew that was alluring. I should ask, but there were bigger problems right now.

"Thanks for telling me that awesome information. You can let us go now." I tried but already knew the answer.

"We can't."

"Maybe Vlad won't, But what about you?" I asked, walking forward, having to lean my head back to look up at the tall man.

"You could sneak us out, Please! I can handle this new weird eye thing. But Phantom and I can't stand being stuck here with Vlad." I pleaded. Staring into his dark eyes. It looked like Andrew actually thought about it, but then the same smile crept back.

"But what if I don't want to let you go?" Andrew said and lifted his hand to gently grip my jaw. Immediately my warnings bell triggered.

Okay, this man had issues.

Phantom growled and I could finally look at him. He stood a couple meters away. Standing like he was ready to attack any moment. His eyes were glowing and fangs showing. But at the same time, he looked uncertain, like if he was afraid of Andrew.

"Phantom?" I said to get his attention but didn't get it. He was to busy staring at Andrew. It was when I looked back at Andrew I understood Phantoms worry. The tall man's eyes were now glowing blue. A really light blue, almost white.

I still didn't know what he is. I slowly backed away, which made Andrew growl.

Then he looked at me for a while, thinking.

"You need to leave Andrew..." I carefully demanded. Andrew's ice blue eyes, slowly faded back to dark brown and he put his hands behind his back like Vlad used to do.

"Yes, of course. But you guys are coming with me." Andrew said with a smile. Straightening his back.

"What? Why?" I asked.

"Aren't you hungry? That snicker I gave you can't possibly satisfy you." Andrew turned around and headed for the door. When he noticed that I had not moved a muscle he sighed.

"Come on, The food hour is almost up." He said and waved his hand, gesturing us to come along.

Speaking of, what time is it? And what day?

After some more arguing about not wanting to leave Phantom, we were now walking in the white long corridors again. Phantom and I holding hands like life was depending on it.

We walked past many different kinds of doors, which made me wonder how many people Vlad had successfully kidnapped and experimented with. That thought made me shiver. They all couldn't possibly be like Phantom, could they? Why would Vlad do that then? What was the purpose of his experiments, There must be a reason, Right?

My thoughts were disturbed by a scream. I came to a stop to stare at the door where the sound had come from.

"Oh my, I wonder what they doing today," Andrew asked himself. He didn't sound disturbed at all. Someone was literally screaming his lungs out and Andrew just shrugged his shoulder and continued walking.

I decided not to say anything. I glanced at Phantom who looked like he would be sick, and I didn't judge him. I probably looked the same.

After some more walking, we finally came to and a dead end. There were three doors in front of us. Andrew put his hand on the door in the middle and it opened quickly. He stepped aside and gesturing to us to go inside. I did and Phantom followed soon after, but Andrew put his hand on the door frame, stopping Phantom to take another step.

"These rooms aren't actually supposed to fit more than one human. But you're special." Andrew said but didn't remove his hand.

"Behave." He added and backed away so Phantom could enter. After he did, Andrew waved goodbye as the door closed.

It was after he left I noticed how small the square room was and I understood why it only was meant for one person. The room literally just fit a small table and a chair. On the opposite wall from the door, was a small gap. It did remind me of those small windows in prison cells that food came thru. Not like I've been in prison. More like I watch TV a lot.

The walls to our left and right weren't really walls. They're glass. It was then I noticed the other rooms. The other side looked exactly the same as our room.

There was another person on the other side. Eating food from a silver tray.

"Sit, Danny." Phantom eventually said.

I did sit down as Phantom went to the "food window", Knocking twice and it opened. He pulled out a similar looking silver tray and put it in front of me. I expected it to be bad quality prison food, but to my surprise, it looked pretty good. What did make me uneasy, was the little plastic cup with my name on it. Inside was three different looking pills. One red, one green and one yellow. I picked up the cup to put it aside. Not trusting it for a second.

However, on the tray was a couple of sausage, mashed potatoes, salad, and bacon.

I started splitting everything into two portions, but Phantom stopped me by putting his hand on my right one.

"Danny, we just get one meal per day and I can survive longer without it since I'm technically half dead," Phantom said and smiled gently at me.

I knew that it wasn't much on the tray, but there is no way I would let Phantom just stand there watching me eat it all.

I picked up a sausage on my fork at ate it. Phantom looked pleased.

I picked up another sausage, but instead of eating it, I turned around the fork to point it at Phantom's face. His smile turned upside down as he squinted his eyes at me.

"Don't give me that look Phantom. Just eat it." I sighed.

After some more protests and Persuasion, he ate it. And so it went on until the tray was empty. Phantom wasn't happy about it, but it was the best thing to do.

Phantom didn't say anything as he picked up the tray to put it back in the food window.

The only thing left on the table now was the small plastic cup with the colored pills.

"Is this also a normal day thing?" I asked Phantom, pointing at the cup.

He picked it up to look inside. He sniffed it once before he tilted it downwards against his hand to crush the pills.

"No, it's not. Don't ever take any medicine from these people." Phantom growled as he threw away the now empty cup, and then brushed his hands onto each other. White powder falling from his hands.

"Wasn't planning on it," I mumbled.

"By the way Phantom. What's the deal with Andrew? You look really uneasy around him, like if you're afraid." I remarked which made Phantom glare down at the floor.

"His dangerous, Danny." Was all Phantom responded.

"Yes, I understand that by now. But what is he then?" I asked and Phantom looked up at me again, moving closer to lean his hip against the table.

"He's a..."

Suddenly, there was a loud bang to my right. The dude on the other side of the glass had thrown his tray at the glass and was now screaming. I couldn't hear him, but his facial expression on his face showed clearly that he was screaming. Either he was mute, or these rooms was sound proof. The boy had shoulder-length hair, his cheeks pretty hollow which made his cheekbone and jawline stand out. He looked like to be as tall as me.

The boy abruptly stood up, making his chair tumble over. My eyes then widened as he easily punched the table, making it split in two. Then he rapidly turned his head towards us, staring right into my eyes. I didn't know what was more creepy, his eyes or this whole situation. Both his irises and Pupils were yellow, meanwhile, his scleras were black.

My observation was shortcutted when the boy threw himself at the glass and proceed to claw at it with his inhumanly long nails.

"holy shit!" I exclaimed as I quickly stood up.

"He's new," Phantom confirmed and took a step closer to me.

"What do you mean?" I asked, never breaking eye contact with the strange boy.

"I haven't seen him before, so he is very likely a new creation of Vlad," Phantom answered, also keeping a close eye on the boy.

The scene in front of us seemed to get worse as the door to his room was thrown opened and three guards stormed into the small space. One of the guards jumped at the boy, making them both tumble down onto the floor. The second guard went down beside them to press a needle into the boy's neck. He quickly went limp in their arms and they dragged him out by his arms. The last guard to exit stopped had a bald scalp and blue eyes and looked quite big. Not big in a fat way, more like a short person with muscular. He stopped in the doorway and looked sideways at us. He then smiled wickedly and proceed to exit.

Phantom and I looked at each other and moments later our own door opened and the same guard stepped inside.

"Do as I say and I must not use this," The guard said, waving a syringe.

I heard Phantom growl quietly behind me. I went to stand beside him and grabbed his hand.

"Where?" I calmly asked. Nobody wanted the guard to use any violence right now. Since it would only cause more trouble.

"Shower room." He said loudly as we started walking.

Once again, white corridors. Long, boring and quiet corridors.

He led us to a white door which had an S letter on the center. Probably standing for the word "shower".

"I guess you know how to wash your bodies. You don't have any limited time, but if you take forever, we will come and get you." The guard said and opened the door. And for the first time, the door opened with a key. All the other doors I had encountered required a handprint.

We all stepped inside.

"New clothes can you find on the shelf to the left". He added and then left. Leaving me and Phantom confused.

So, first, they gave us food and now shower. What next?

I didn't expect them to care about feeding us or our hygiene. It's weird.

"Is this normal?" I asked Phantom.

He should know since he has been here before and been used to their routines.

"Kinda," he said, shrugging. "Shower is every third day, more if needed."

"So, what's the catch? Is there cameras recording us?" I asked while looking around.

I couldn't see any cameras in this medium sized room. What I could see, was a white tile floor and Wall. One shower head and a drain placed in the middle of the floor. and that's it, or well. There was also a brown plastic shelf to our left with clothes, shampoo and so on.

"What I know, there is no cameras, but you'll never know." Phantom said and started to unzip his jumpsuit. My eyes widened.

"W-what are you doing?!" I frantically asked, stuttering like an idiot.

"What do you think? Undressing." Phantom laughed.

He dragged the jumpsuit down and stepped out of it. Shoes going with it.

I could feel my face heat up and I knew that I was probably blushing.

Phantom was left in only boxers, so I had a perfect view of his body. Tall and slender in an attractive and healthy way. He is slightly muscular which made me mentally drool. I could see a V disappearing into his boxers and it was then I snapped out of it. I looked up to stare at Phantoms face instead, to stop myself from imagining him naked. I have never actually admired any other boys body before. Since I was one hundred percent sure that I was straight.

"See anything you like?" Phantom asked and smirked, and I didn't think my face could become any redder than it already was.

I turned around to hide my embarrassment. Phantom laughed once more and I thought I heard him purr.

"No need to feel abashed, Danny. It's not like I have something you don't." Phantom tried to joke as I felt his arms circle around me and his chin leaning against my shoulder.

His right hand traveled up to my zipper, but I stopped him before he could pull it down.

"No no no, You will shower first, then it's my turn." I stubbornly said.

"But what's the fun with that?" He asked me back and kissed my jaw, making a shiver travel down my back.

"Please, Danny. Can't I have one cute moment with you before we have to go back to be their pets again."

"We are not their pets." I furrowed my brows.

"If you say so." Was all he said and continued to place a kiss behind my ear.

I thought about what Phantom said before, about "just one cute moment". I wanted to decline his offer since the door could open whenever and there was a possibility that a camera was well hidden somewhere inside this room.

"Fine..." I whispered and let go of his hand. I could practically feel his excitement.

"But our boxers stays on!" I was fast to add.

I knew taking a shower that way wouldn't be that comfy, but my mind was not ready to see that part of Phantom yet. And if there was a camera, then I will save both my and Phantoms asses. Literally.

"Yes, no problem." Phantom agreed and started to unzip my jumpsuit. Making sure pull it all the way down to just above my crotch. He did it extremely slowly and sensually and I was moments away from kneeing him for it.

I stepped out of the jumpsuit and turned around.

Phantom was gently smiling, which made me smile too. He grabbed my hand and walked backwards to the shower. When we reached it, he switched place with me and gently pushed me against the wall under the showerhead. The shower was switched on automatically and I jumped in surprise. Phantom laughed at that and I glared at him.

He stepped closer to me, leaving just a few inches between us and I started to breathe faster.

It didn't take long before both me and Phantom was soaked. I felt my boxers clinging to my skin and for some stupid reason, I looked down. Which was a mistake. I almost dropped my jaw when I saw Phantoms black boxers. They were soaked too of course, but that wasn't the thing. It was the fact that they hung low, like, really low. Way below his hip bones. Just centimeters from showing his private parts.

I swallowed loudly as I tore away my eyes from his crotch. The look on his face didn't make anything better either.

Phantom's eyes were hooded and his mouth was slightly open.

I leaned my head back against the wall to stop myself from kissing him. That was probably what Vlad wanted. Why else would he want us to eat and shower together? But that wasn't the only reason why I didn't kiss him.

If I did kiss him now. It would probably lead to something more than just kissing, and Vlad was right, Phantom simply do not know how to control himself. And it was due to that, that Phantom had done something to me, to my eyes.

"Just so you know, I really love your eyes." Phantom purred and leaned forward to stare deeply into them.

"They fit you," He then added, whispering.

He tilted his head down to kiss me, but I turned away my head so Phantom ended up kissed my cheek instead.

"Believe me Phantom. I want to," I said turning my head back to look at him.

"But I don't trust this. You don't have full control and I don't want to change more." I told him and leaned my forehead against his.

"And most of all, I think Vlad is planning something," I added and Phantom nodded in agreement.

"I understand," Phantom said.

"Sorry for this," he then added. I squinted my eyes and was just about to ask him what he was sorry for, but before I could to that, Phantom kissed me. But thank god, he ended it quickly before any of us could deepen it.

"Phantom..." I scolded him with a laugh. He could be such a kid sometimes.

He smiled childishly and I laughed again.

I knew I wanted to spend more years with Phantom, and with luck, my whole life. But right now, everything is blurry. I'm somehow changing and Phantom is, unfortunately, the reason.

Yup, I suck at "Chapter endings". But hey! I'm learning. And that includes my grammar. This chapter became pretty long. But some people prefer them that way. Do you?
