Guess who's back! I found out something tonight. I can only write this story when I'm hyper so I had to eat a peanut butter and caramel sandwhich to get hyper enough to write more. Mmm, peanut butter and caramel. You know, I had something planned out with that dream from the last chapter, and I completely forgot what it was. Guess that's the bad side to being hyper while writing. I'm dissappointed in the amount of reviews I got last chapter. I mean, I would think that a story that was getting a lot of good reviews would get even more reviews after finally updating after five months. Thank you to the loyal reviewers who never gave up on me. I guess you wanna read more now, don't you? Okay, I guess I can stop talking now. Enjoy!

Last time

"You could stay longer," Chloe said hopefully.

"I told you, I only plan on staying one year."

"But why?" Chloe said like a little kid. "It gets so lonely here with just me and Daddy. I thought you liked it here. Plus, it took all that work to get you here in the first place."

It took a moment for what Chloe had just said to register in his mind. He looked at her.

She had her hand clasped over her mouth.

"What exactly did you mean by the work it took to get me here?"

Chloe stared wide eyed at Danny, her hand still clasped tight over her mouth.

"What did you mean?" Danny said getting up from the bed, his anger growing with every second she remained silent.

She gulped and slowly started backing up. Before Danny could realize what had happened, she turned and sprinted out of the room. Danny quickly gave chase. He chased her down the long hallway until she turned into a room. Danny followed close behind.

Danny came to a stop just inside of the room breathing heavily. He looked around, but didn't see anyone. His ghost sense went off.

"I know you're in here," he called to the seemingly empty room. All of the sudden, he heard a scream from near the back of the room. He ran to the source of the noise.

Chloe was rubbing her elbow and trying to kick loose the rope that had wound its way around her ankle. She stood up to find herself face to face with one angry ghost boy. She laughed nervously, but his expression didn't change in the slightest.

"Hey, aren't your friends coming here today?" Chloe asked nervously as she slowly creeped away from Danny. He followed her every move. "Maybe you should go get dressed. Wouldn't want your girlfriend to see you with bed hair, would ya?"

She laughed nervously again as she began to inch her way to the door. Danny predicted this and got between her and the door.

"What did you mean?" Danny asked again, his voice dripping with anger.

"You g-gotta understand, D-Danny," Chloe stuttered. "It was for your own good. I-I wasn't trying to make you mad."

"For my own good?" Danny asked. He laughed a somewhat evil laugh that startled Chloe. "Sounds more like you were doing it for your own gain."

"I-I wasn't, I swear," Chloe pleaded. Danny looked thoughtful for a second, always keeping his eyes on Chloe.

"I have to go get dressed now," he said after a minute, "but you will tell me what you did later."

"What if I don't want to tell you?" Chloe asked, unsure where the sudden burst of bravery had come from.

"You will."

With that, Danny turned and left the room, heading down the hallway back to his own room. Chloe let out a relieved sigh and slid to the floor.

"Danny is really scary when he's mad," Chloe said to herself. "Mental note, never make Danny mad."

"Oh, Daniel." Vlad's voice floated to Danny's room. He got up excitedly and headed for the front door. He smiled as he saw his family and two friends waiting for him by the door. He ran quickly to them.

His family gave him a hug all at the same time, Jack nearly lifting them all off the ground. Excitement quickly turned to nervousness as he saw Sam. They both blushed slightly. Danny broke the nervous moment by hugging Sam. He then gave her a quick kiss on the cheek which caught everyone off guard.

"Bout time," Tuck said which caused them to blush harder. Danny tried to change the subject.

"You forgot to mention that I have a cousin, too," Danny said to his parents.

"We have a cousin?" Jazz asked.

"Daniel, where is Chloe?" Vlad asked.

"Don't know, don't care," Danny said. "I'm not speaking to her right now."

"Well, can you go find her anyway?" Vlad asked. Danny reluctantly nodded his head. His family and friends were already noticing his changed behavior. "Jack, Maddie, Jasmine, I'll show you to your rooms. Daniel, you may show your friends to their rooms after you find Chloe."

After Vlad had disappeared down one of the many halls of the castle, Danny, Sam, and Tuck went to look for Chloe.

"So how old is your cousin?" Tuck asked.

"Fourteen," Danny said as though he would rather be talking about anything else.

"It doesn't sound like you like her very much," Sam said. "Why not?"

"Well, apparently she's the reason I'm even here in the first place, but I didn't have time to find out what she did. I'm going to right now though."

He stopped outside Chloe's room, and without even bothering to knock, opened the door. First glance, it would seem that no one was in the room, but Danny knew better than that.

"I know you're in here, Chloe," Danny said.

Chloe suddenly became visible on the bed. Sam and Tucker jumped.

"She's a ghost!" Tucker said, surprised.

"What do you want?" Chloe spat out angrily at Danny remembering a second too late about her mental note not to make Danny angry.

"Vlad wants you."

Chloe reluctantly lifted herself up from the bed. She tried to walk past Danny as though she didn't see him, but he wasn't going to let her do that.

"But first, we need to have a little talk."

"Let me guess," Chloe said in a somewhat sarcastic tone. "You want to continue your yelling from earlier."

"I guess if that's how you want to put it."

"Too bad. You just said I have to go see Daddy. Why don't you enjoy the time with your friends now, and you can yell at me later." She pushed past Danny who glared at her angrily, but didn't try to stop her this time. He watched as she disappeared around a corner.

"Come on," Danny said to his friends, "let's go to my room."

"Chloe!" Jack said excitedly as his neice entered the room. He was ready to talk to her about ghosts. "Do you know anything about ghosts?"

"Hi, Uncle Jack," Chloe said as though she would rather be anywhere but in the room with him. As she had lived with Vlad her whole life, she saw her uncle as somewhat uncivilized and a little creepy. "Hi, Aunt Maddie," she said in a much happier tone. She didn't see anything wrong with her aunt. She turned to her other cousin who she was meeting for the first time. 'I hope she's not like Danny,' she thought as she looked at the kind, smiling face of the red head. 'One is more than enough.'

Dinner had gone quiet smoothly, or as smooth as any dinner with this particular group of people could go.

After dinner, everyone was gathered in the living room. Vlad, Jack, and Maddie were, surprisingly, having a nice conversation. Jazz and Chloe were getting to know each other. Chloe quickly realized that Jazz wasn't anything like Danny at all. 'Why can't Danny be more like her?' Chloe thought as they began discussing psychology and related topics.

Danny, Sam, and Tuck were sitting in the corner playing cards. Sam and Tucker were trying their best to keep the conversation off of Chloe.

"So how have things been going here?" Sam asked. "He's not treating you too bad, is he?"

"Actually, all things considered," Danny said as he glanced at Chloe, "it's really not all that bad."

"Wait, rewind," Tucker said. "Did you just say what I think you just said?"

"If you think I said that it's not too bad here, then yes."

"It's starting to get late," Maddie said. "I think maybe we should call it a night."

"But we're having so much fun together," Chloe said, a touch of nervousness in her voice. "It won't hurt to stay up a little longer. I mean, it's not like we have anywhere to go tomorrow."

"Yes, I suppose you're right." Their conversation resumed.

"She's just trying to stall for time," Danny said angrily. "I don't see why. She knows she'll have to talk sooner or later. I would prefer sooner."

Tucker tried to think of a way to change the direction the conversation was going.

"So when exactly did you two, you know, get together?" Tucker asked which lead Danny's thoughts away from Chloe immediately. Sam and Danny blushed.

"You wanna show him?" Sam asked Danny nervously.

"Sure," Danny said. He reached into his front left pocket and pulled out the note. Sam gave him a funny look.

"You carry that around?" she asked. Danny blushed harder.

"Er, no, not usually. I just thought, you know, in case you wanted to show it to Tuck."

"Sure," Sam said obviously not believing a word he just said. Danny handed the note to Tucker, and immediately wished he hadn't. Tuck began teasing the both of them throughout the rest of their card game.

After another hour, everyone began to get tired. Chloe tried once again to get them to stay, but to no luck this time. Everyone headed off to their rooms.

Chloe tried to sneak into her room before Danny could catch up to her, but she was too slow. He stopped her just as she was about to go in.

"I think it's time we finished our talk now, don't you?" he asked in his new evil sounding tone of voice that was really freaking out Sam and Tucker.

"Not really, no," Chloe said hoping to get on his good side again.

"I do."

The four of them went inside Chloe's room. Chloe sat on her bed, Sam and Tuck sat down on the carpet, but Danny kept his position in front of the door.

"Start explaining," he said.

"Okay," Chloe said finally realizing there were no other way out of it. "It all started when-"

I think I'm getting better at writing, even if only by a little. You shoulda seen my first fanfic I ever wrote. It was horrible. And yet, it still somehow managed to get 72 reviews. Well, they were mostly from my friends. If anyone ever wants to see how much I've improved you'll find that story under the penname hpluvas. It's the Inuyasha one. I think you'll definitely notice an improvement. So how is everyone liking this one so far? I didn't actually plan for Danny to turn so evil, but I loved it when he was evil in Control Freaks so I decided he might slowly turn evil. But will he ever turn good again? Who knows. Not even me. By the way, I love that hit counter thing. Would you believe that from the time I posted the last chapter to this very moment, their have been nearly 200 hits on this story, and I have only received five reviews? Please people, if you read it, review it. I'll never get better without help and encouragement. Is it so much to ask for foryou to push the little purple button? It's not that hard, I promise. Well, I hope you enjoyed the latest addition to this story which by the way, is the 2000 word long chapter I promised you, and the longest chapter I have ever written. This is a historic moment. I'm so happy. Until next time, see ya! Bye!
