"You're right Karen I have to do what's right, I have to go back." Danny finally said. "And I don't care what they do to me."
"Ok kid but please promise me you'll take care of yourself, it's a big world and I hope you'll make it home alright." Karen returned, she had become like a mother to him and seeing him go was a bit painful. " And remember Danny there'll always be a place here for you if things don't work out."
Danny couldn't tell her that once he went back to his town, they'd destroy him, so he only nodded. " Hey Karen you can have this," He said handing her his computer. " I wont need it."
"But aren't you taking anything with you."
"Nah, I really don't have any use for material possessions, so please just take the computer." He explained.
Karen felt bad for accepting this, but he told her not to look at it until he left. She agreed and she was the only one who knew he left, she watched him leave, and with the turn of the corner he was gone from her life. She opened the computer and saw what he'd been looking at the whole time, they were pictures of what she guessed to be his family and friends, and he looked so happy in all of them. She hoped that he'd be that person again.
Danny turned the corner and slowed his stride. He was petrified, and he truly wasn't sure why he was going back, they needed him, but they also didn't want him. But when word of a ghost invasion soon to hit Amity got to Danny, he couldn't bear the thought of his family and friends being caught up in something like that all because of he, the guardian of Amity, wasn't there. But that didn't change the fact that he was scared for his life. He wasn't sure why though, when it came to chasing spooky murderous ghosts he was perfectly calm, but the thought of being torn apart by his own kind sent a shiver up his spine.
They all wanted to kill him before he could explain to them his side of the story. They always jumped to conclusions, he now knew what it was like to be hated for a reputation that was forced upon you without your attribution to it. It was simple underestimation and false accusations that had took a hand in destroying his life. He ever had a slim chance at a future before he didn't now. He walked another block sorting out his thoughts and pushing away his fears, before he found an alley in where he could change.
As he continued his journey in flight, he felt his stomach knot as he got closer and closer to his destination. If he ever had any thought of turning back and running into Karen's warm embrace it was repressed by the thought of innocent people, people he loved, being slaughtered by the creatures he'd let out. Those merciless spirits of former humans, whom for some odd reason had it out for the rest of the living world. He was torn between both the worlds, and because he choose to be the hero, he'd also became the protector of the living and keeper of the dead. Danny never realized that he had been keeping the thin line between them together and now that he wasn't there the two worlds are to collide if he didn't stop them.
"I cant believe I'm doing this, I must be insane to even try," Danny muttered as he approached the lighted city. He could already see the eerie glow that the ghosts must've been producing. "But they do need me whether they want to believe me or not. And I have to stop this battle, so ready or not Amity I'm coming home."
