Sorry guys for the big cliffy! Had to make sure at least more than
one person was reading my fan fiction. (Grins) and now, on to the rest!
Chapter 12
"-In surgery. We don't know if her stomach could heal itself, so we will have to see if we can close it ourselves."
"Will she be alright? I mean she can't die from this could she?" Jazz looked into the doctors green eyes. He closed them. She had her answer.
"The stomach is one of the major organs of the body, without food to be disgusted there is no energy and she would slowly starve to death. We still are unsure if it can be fixed. Please, wait in the waiting room with everyone else and let us do our job."
Scared and in shock, two nurses led Jazz back into the waiting room. Everything there looked even grimmer than before.
Danny was hugging Sam, both of their eyes were closed, as if they were concentrating to help Rosa survive by some magical power inside them.
Tucker had his hat off, for once. He sat, looking at the ground. He still couldn't believe this was happening.
Rosa's mom and dad held each other, crying. An older girl stood beside them. Jazz didn't notice her before. She had long red hair, it almost reached her lower back. Her bright green eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of water. She looked as if she was about to cry, but refused to. Her arms were on either side of her, fists clenched. Jazz walked over to her.
"Hey." Jazz whispered softly, the girl seemed around her age.
The red haired girl turned her green eyes to look into Jazz's.
"Who are you?" the girl whispered.
"My name is Jazz, I am Danny's brother."
The girl looked away. "You know, that's my sister lying on that table in there." Her voice seemed to have no emotion.
"You mean your Rosa's sister?"
"Yes, I am Ruby." The girl's voice never faltered. Jazz found this very strange. She must have control issues. Like she had to always be in control and never let any emotion show, cause it might be a form of weakness. Jazz looked at the girl harder. She had a scar on her forehead. She wondered what that was from.
"Jazz?"
Jazz tore her eyes from the girl to look into Danny's blue eyes.
"Yeah?"
Without another word he put his arms around his sister and started to cry.
Jazz looked down sadly at her brother. Jazz held him close to her.
"Don't worry bro, I am sure Rosa will be fine." If only she believed those words.
Nearby, a girl with red hair and green eyes looked at the pair, with fire in her eyes.

It felt like days, but was really hours, before the doctors came out from the disinfectant smelling room. Danny no longer knew the smell of anything else for the last twelve hours. He looked up at the doctors from his sitting position in the chair. Sam next to him, trying to calm his nerves by putting an arm around him. He looked at her thankfully and smiled. Then stood up and walked to the doctors, where Rosa and his parents were. As he walked closer, he felt his stomach twinge inside. What if she was dead? What would he do? He could not even think straight. When he got there, he looked into the doctor's eyes. The doctor looked back and began. "Well it seems after hard work, Rosa is-"
The next thing surprised him. "-alive and well." He was ready for the death possibility, but this totally blew him away. He felt himself break down in tears, from joy. He couldn't believe it! She survived! "Yes, we were successful in healing her stomach up. She should be ready to go home in a week. Until then, visiting hours are..." Danny tuned out the rest. He was so happy! Rosa was alive! He turned his face towards his friends who had somber faces. Apparently when they saw Danny fall to his knees in sobs, they thought Rosa had died. He smiled at them. A genuine happy smile. They all blinked and looked confused. He ran over to Sam and hugged her tight. "They said Rosa was alright! It worked!" He was hopping up and down while hugging Sam. Tucker felt a smile creep across his face. Jazz looked very relieved and fell back into her chair. Sam laughed and hugged Danny back. They both suddenly pulled a little away and looked at each other. They knew how close they were. Both sides blushed and pulled fully away. Tucker decided then to jump into the middle of them and demand a group hug. Jazz was soon pulled in too. It seemed their worries were over.
....................................................................................
Rosa first opened her blue eye and gazed around her. Where was she? She remembered fighting Vlad, then saving Sam from the blast Vlad threw, then.. nothing. She gazed around her surroundings in wonder. White walls, white ceiling, drapes around the room, she was lying in a bed with blue clothes on. But they didn't feel like clothes, more like cardboard or paper. She looked to her right and found strange devices all around her. She recognized this. This was a hospital. Just like the one she was in years and years ago. Old fears started to creep up into her brain. Was everything she went through just a dream? Did she never recover from the accident in her parent's lab until now? She thought hard to see if any voices were in her head. She heard none. As panic seized her once more, her stomach gave a piercing pain.
She groaned and clutched her hands into the mattress below her. It hurt so much. She took deep breaths and soon the pain seemed to disappear. She sighed in relief and let herself relax until she figured this all out.
The door opened suddenly. She blinked and looked over to the door. She smiled as she saw Tucker, Danny and Sam walk through. Each holding different gifts for her.
"Hey guys." She said weakly. She blinked.
"Yeah, the doctor said that you shouldn't talk. It's a real strain on your organs. Your stomach needs to heal." Danny smiled and handed her a get- well card.
"I got a lot of people to sign it. Even Dash did!" he chuckled a little.
Next it was Tucker. He handed her a Game Boy along with many games.
Rosa grinned. "You shouldn't have Tucker."
"Yes I should, that thing belongs to my brother and it keeps me awake many nights!" Tucker smirked.
Finally it was Sam. "Um, well, here. This is a thanks for saving me." Sam handed her a necklace with a pink gem intertwined with silver metal, holding it in place against the chain. Rosa smiled and looked at Sam.
"You didn't have to get me something for saving your life Sam."
"Oh yes I did. You gave us a scare for a while. You almost died!"
Rosa shrugged. "Second time in a month, you guys should be used to it by now." A sly smile spread across Rosa's face.
"Yeah, about that." Danny sighed. "I was thinking, maybe you should take it easy for a while. Like no ghost hunting or something. In fact, I don't think you should really use your powers at all."
Rosa blinked. "But, Danny-"
"No, you've already almost died twice because of the powers." Danny turned his head away.
Rosa looked at him concerned. "Danny, I like being with you guys. It wasn't your fault I got like this."
"But I could have stopped that ghost before he threw you into the ghost zone."
Rosa shook her head. "You couldn't have Danny."
"How do you know?"
"I know because I was there. Danny, this is not your choice, its mine, so respect my decision. I want to help. But I will stop using my powers until I am one hundred percent. I promise."
Danny smiled a little. "Alright."
..............................................................................
Two weeks later, Rosa was out and about again. Almost completely healed, she was now able to go to school again. Though her grades were in serious danger, her friends helped her pull them back up. She seemed happy again.
It was when she got home she knew something was wrong. She saw her mom and dad, sitting down, holding a piece of paper in their hands. She walked over to them.
"Mom? Dad? What's wrong?"
Rosa's mom looked into Rosa's eye and sighed. Closing her own blue eyes she let loose a bunch of tears fall from them down her face.
"Rosa, dear. Your sister." Unable to say anymore, Rosa's mom held out a note. Rosa grabbed it and read it carefully. Her blue eye immediately turned pink for a brief moment. Then dropping the piece of paper she ran to the phone and dialed Danny's number.
Ring....
Ring...
C'mon Danny pick up!
Ring...
Rosa nervously entwined her finger into the phone cord.
Ring...
"Hello, Danny speaking."
"Danny! Its me Rosa!"
"Rosa? Is something wrong?"
"Yes, Ruby, my sister has run away!"
"What?!"
"Yes, She wants to find out who hurt me. I don't know how, but she's found out that it might be a ghost!"
"Doh! My dad mentioned talking to Ruby about ghosts."
"Danny I am sorry I have to break my promise! I have to go and save my sister before she gets into trouble with ghosts!"
"But Rosa!" All he heard was a dial tone.
............................................................
The Fenton thermos lay unguarded. It had been for two weeks or so. Back at Vlad's lair through the ghost portal. Skulker gazed at it. He still had yet to figure out how to open the device. With a frustrated grunt he threw it to the ground. He blinked when he heard a beeping noise. He looked at it closely and read the words on the side of it. "RELEASE." The thermos opened, letting out the most dangerous hybrid of them all.
"I told them." He laughed evilly.
