Well, two chapters in one day! Cool!

Well, thanks for all the reviews from the past that I forgot to thank you guys for.

Anyway, on with the story—

Chapter 4:

On the jet, Mac fell asleep while playing video games on his cell phone.

After he was asleep, Vlad began to question some things about the boy. Was he really his son? How did he get all those scars? And most importantly...

Did he also acquire ghost powers from Vlad?

Vlad wasn't feeling very evil, so he wouldn't try to kill Jack, attack Danny, or make out with Maddie today. He had to ask Maddie if she knew about Mac. That's why they were going to Amity Park.

Hours later—

Vlad shook Mac until he was awake.

When he woke, Vlad said to him, "we're here."

Mac looked around. He wasn't in a plane anymore. He was in the front seat of a car. He looked out the window to see a large building that had the light up word "FENTON" on it.

He got out of the car and stretched. Then he and Vlad walked up to the house and knocked on the door.

A boy with black hair answered the door. He saw Vlad and said, "PLASMIUS? What are you doing here?" the boy demanded.

Mac looked over at Vlad. "Plasmius? What's that?"

"Just a nickname," Vlad answered quickly, "hello Daniel. Nice to see you too."

"Who's that?" asked Danny, pointing at Mac.

"The reason I'm here. Is your mother home?"

"That depends. Are you going to try to make out with her again?"

"HUH!" Mac asked his father looking shocked. His eyes were almost bugging out of his head, "EW! GROSS!"

Vlad looked at Danny and answered, "maybe, now I need to talk to her. Is she here or not?" he asked, a little annoyed and embarrassed.

Danny paused for a moment, than said, "yeah, she's here," he called his mother, but he didn't take his eyes off Vlad.

"Who is it Danny?" asked Maddie as she walked up too the door. She saw Vlad at the door, then she looked over to Mac, who was fidgeting with his goggles on the top of his head. Then he looked her with happy eyes. He was smiling.

"Who is that?" Maddie asked, pointing at Mac.

"Well Maddie, I was about to ask you the same question," Vlad reached into his pocket and handed her the birth certificate.

Maddie read it with wide eyes. "Danny, go upstairs," Maddie said.

"But mom, I..."

"Danny, go upstairs," she repeated again, then walked up the stairs into his room and shut the door.

Maddie walked outside and hugged Mac. Vlad, at the moment, was jealous. She didn't come and hug him at all.

Maddie started to cry, "Oh Mac honey, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have sent you to Florida," she cried, "come in guys. Jack isn't home."

"Who's Jack?" Mac whispered to Vlad.

"Her husband."

"...oh..."

They walked inside and Maddie got each of them some coffee. Mac wasn't too interested, but he drank it anyway.

There was a long pause, while Vlad and Maddie just looked at each other, each sipping there coffee.

Finally, Vlad started the conversation.

"Maddie, why didn't you tell me that I had fathered a child?" Vlad asked, while sipping his coffee again.

"I didn't want anyone to find out about Mac and Jeff, so I sent them to a foster home in Florida,"

Maddie replied.

Uh oh, Mac thought.

"Jeff? Who's Jeff?" Vlad asked.

"Mac's twin brother. Speaking of him where is he?"

Vlad spit his coffee all over the table. "WHAT! TWIN BROTHER? MAC WHERE IS HE!"

Mac took a sip of coffee and tears filled his eyes.

Vlad saw this, and remembered the scars on Mac's back and how he said that he was protecting his 'best friend'. He figured that was Jeff.

Mac took another sip of coffee, and replied, "...Mom...Jeff is... dead..."

Vlad and Maddie both spit their coffee out on the table. "WHAT!" they both screamed.

Mac told them everything. How he picked a fight, the break in, the lashes, slitting his throat, but he left out one tiny detail.

Vlad was speechless and Maddie started to silently cry.

"I'm sorry guys... I didn't mean to... I did all that I could but..." Mac said, taking the goggles off of his head and holding them, " I just wasn't quick enough..."

He showed his parents the goggles. "These were his. He gave me them the day before the accident. It's the only thing that I have left to remember him with," he pulled the strap of the goggles to reveal the tag on the inside part of it, there was a name. It looked like it was written by a 6 year old. It read:

Jeffery Masters

Vlad slammed his hand on the table. He looked over the table at Maddie with angry eyes. "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" he screamed at her, "IF YOU HAD JUST TOLD ME THAT WE HAD A SON... OH NOT ONE, BUT PERHAPS TWO, HE MIGHT STILL BE ALIVE RIGHT NOW! NOT TO MENTION..." Vlad didn't stop screaming at her, but in Mac's mind, he couldn't hear anything.

The fighting was too much.

He was losing his temper again.

Mac grabbed his head as Vlad continued to yell at Maddie. Finally, he lost control.

"STOP YELLING AT HER!" Mac screamed as he jumped over the table and tackled Vlad to the ground. Maddie ran around the table to see what was going on. Vlad had his teeth clenched, and an angry look on his face.

"IT'S NOT HER FAULT! IT'S MINE! IF I WASN'T SO STUCK UP, JEFF WOULD STILL BE HERE NOW! IT'S MY FAULT! MINE!" Mac screamed at him, but then he backed off.

Vlad got up and brushed himself off. "I think it's time that we leave. Thank you for the coffee Maddie," Vlad said. Mac nodded and got a sponge from the sink to wipe off the table with. Pretty soon all of the coffee was gone and Vlad and Mac were ready to get on their way, When Danny stopped them at the door.

"Tell me Vlad," Danny asked, "Who is this kid?"

"Well Daniel, this is your step brother. He is both mine and Maddie's son," he replied, and with that, Vlad and Mac walked out the door.

Neither one of them said a word to each other on the way back to Wisconsin. Mac fell asleep again, knowing he would be in deep water when they got home.

When they finally got back to the castle, Mac started to walk up the stairs to his room, when his father stopped him and threw him against the wall.

"What was that all about? Back at Maddie's?" Vlad asked him angrily.

Mac rubbed his head and then looked up at him, "I was going to ask you that. You shouldn't have yelled at her like that," he replied.

Vlad picked him up by the throat and held him in the air.

"Mark my words kid, if you EVER do that again, I will KILL you!" Vlad yelled at him.

"You don't have that kind of power over me. You couldn't kill me if you tried!" Mac said lookin down on him. One of his eyes were closed.

"Do you want to bet?" asked Vlad. Two black rings appeared around his waist, changing him into Plasmius. "Still want to fight me child?"

"Well this is a surprise... so you're a ghost too?" Mac asked him, changing into his fiery ghost form.

Hope you liked this chapter!
