"Ok so it s like this…

Danny was walking home that night only because it wasn't late and it was so nice out. He had time to kill and wasn't in any rush since it was only nine thirty. It was a beautiful crisp fall night, cold enough for a jacket but warn enough to walk in. Once he entered the park his ghost sense went off. Taking one glance at his cell phone clock he shrugged.

"Ok I've got time, why not I'll fight a lame ghost." He sighed.

Danny was just about to change his form when a large silver and blue claw knocked him down. Bewildered he got back up to stare into the face of a ghost tiger. It didn't really have a purpose, it was only here to cause senseless destruction. And it obviously wasn't in the mood for a fight. And just as quickly as it came it sliced through his chest and sent him into some bushes.

Danny tried to get up off his stomach but the pain penetrating from his body was too great. He knew he needed help or he'd die, but he just couldn't move off the cool ground. The blood spilling from his chest mixed into the dirt and suddenly he felt so cold. He began to violently shake and the only warmth was from his blood that was leaving him quickly. The world began to spin making him dizzy, slowly the colors turned to a gray and black vertigo. He fought so hard to keep his vision clear, but the darkness snatched him into the black and empty abyss. His breathing slowed and his heartbeat got louder and louder till utter silence prevailed, sweet and terrifying silence.

Finally Danny opened his eyes. Managing to shake off some pain he sat up. "Am I alive?" He whispered fearfully. He gently touched his chest and felt the blood, but he was alive. "I am, I lived."

He pulled out his cell phone that threatened eleven o clock. "Oh my God, I've been out for an hour! Mom and dad are going to kill me."

Danny grabbed his jacket knowing that he could never lie his way out of a bloody shirt. Then he immediately raced home, he was sure it hurt to move, but he'd ceased feeling, perhaps from shock. He entered the house and saw two impatient parents glaring at him, he never wanted to breakdown till then, he could feel himself slowly emotionally cracking as they yelled but luckily he was able to hold till he was alone with Jazz.

Danny finished telling Jazz his story and she had to let it all sink in for a moment. So that's what bothered him so much, he'd almost died, she wasn't completely sure what it was like to have a near death experience but it must've been terrifying. That's when it hit her she'd almost lost her little brother to a ghost. She really hated ghosts that had a need for senseless destruction. But some were good like Danny, ones that only wanted to help.

A sigh escaped Danny, as he sat quietly, Jazz felt like she needed to pull him closer just to let him know she was there. He stayed quiet for a little bit, they both did. When he broke the silence, "Jazz I'm only mortal, a stupid kid who thinks he can take the immortal. What was I thinking? I cant do anything right so why do I think I can win?"

Jazz bit her lip, not sure if she should let him be, she decided against keeping quiet. " Danny that's not true and you know it. We all get a little scared sometimes, and I'm only mortal too, but so is everyone else here. But you are part immortal too, and just cause it seems hopeless doesn't mean that it is, you can win, and you did, you beat death more than once and you've saved the world. You're not stupid, you just don't give yourself enough credit."

"What if I cant?" He asked fearfully.

"You can, I know you can. Because you're not alone, and you never will be, no matter what." She comforted. "I promise."

Danny relaxed and laid his head on her shoulder letting his guard something he never did. He closed his eyes for a little bit, just letting himself think while Jazz protected him from anything bad in the world, that was what she did best. That's all she ever wanted to do was just make sure he didn't get hurt by the cruel world, and it took him till now to realize this. When she was pushy she was making sure he didn't do something he'd regret and when she was over protective she was only was trying to make sure he didn't get hurt, when she was over bearing she was simply trying to make sure he understood. And now he got it.

The sun was setting and finally Jazz and Danny decided to leave. Danny never felt more safe to be with Jazz although he believed he was suppose to be the strong one, yet he was glad that he had her. She was the only one who was allowed and that he trusted to see him in his weakest moments. And because she had no reason to turn on him he was always safe to let her see him in any state of emotional anguish. She was his big sister, someone who was his best line of defense.

Jazz stared at Danny as he stared out the window letting the world pass through his eyes. She didn't care what others thought of him, he was perfect, brave, and strong, whether others could see it or not. She'd watched Danny grow up and she knew better, so what if he was a little jaded. He was her little brother and she'd always be there for him. Who knew how much strength he had and how much he could overcome?
