Wowed! I got like nine reviews! I'm updating because I want to now. I'll try to reply to them each individually, but if I just get a "please update" I'm not going to reply to that. I like those too so I guess it doesn't really matter. Just review and if you have an idea let me know and I'll try and work it into the story!

-----------------

After a few hours of sleep Danny woke up to find that it was nearly midnight. I'm still so tired, he thought. He shook it off and walked down the hallway to where his father was sleeping. Watching him, he thought back to when his dad was nice and loving.

He had liked, no loved, Danny back then. What Danny wouldn't do to get back those moments. He smiled as he touched the picture of him, his dad, his mom and his sister. They were having fun at the park – a weekend of "no gosthunting" as his mother had put it. Danny had been about nine.

Those were the good days, Danny thought as he slipped the picture under his shirt and at that second, Jack woke up. "You little!" he growled, grabbing Danny's arm and shoving him onto the floor. He carefully got the picture and dragged a resisting Danny too his bedroom where he handcuffed him to the door handle, shutting the door.

"I'll get you in the morning," he said.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Later that day…

Danny nearly threw up when Dash shoved him into the locker wall. "Hey little Fenton, come out and play?" he teased as he twisted Danny's already-broken arm. Danny's scream sent Tucker and Sam running down the halls.

Once Sam saw what was going on she sent Tucker to the principle's office, wincing as Danny was kicked by Dash in the ribs.

"You scream like a girl, Fen-Ton," he teased. "I'd say you're a girl any day, maybe grow your hair longer…"

Danny just winced as he saw the principle coming. My dad is going to kill me, he thought when Sam appeared. "Danny! Are you alright?"

"No," he said, shuddering and trying hard to keep his heart from beating a million times per minute.

"Dash, Fenton! What is the meaning of this?" Lancer yelled.

"I… I…" Dash stuttered, "I didn't --- I ---"

"Lancer, I think his arm is broken," Sam cut in.

"Dear sweet God Dash, you're going to get Jack Fenton all over the school in a matter of minutes," Lancer said.

Pease don't lift up my shirt, Danny thought. He knew he had fresh bruises from where the handcuffs had been and bruises where Jack had been kicking him.

"Get him to the nurses' office," Lancer said. "Ok, people, show's over, everyone go back to his or her respective class, please."

----- In the nurse's office ------

The nurse lifted up his shirt. "What happened? Was this all Dash?"

Danny bit his lip. He wasn't sure what to say. "No, I fell off a tree when I was tree climbing," he lied.

The nurse lowered his shirt. "Danny, are you protecting someone, being abused at home? I know you've recently gone through a lot lately, what with your mother dying and all that."

Danny jumped up, alarmed. "I told you, it was from falling off a tree," he said. "B-but I think my arm's broken."

The nurse muttered something to herself and began to set Danny's arm in a cast. Being a school where lots of ghosts liked to roam about, they had many medical supplies on hand. One of them was the ability to cast any body part.

"Danny, you need to tell me if something's going on, please," The nurse said as an angry Jack stormed into the room. Sam and Tucker were behind him, watching.

"Danny, you're ok!" he cried, hugging his son. A confused Danny guessed he was acting. Jack turned to the nurse and asked, "What the hell happened here?"

"One of the school bullies, Dash, was 'razzing' on your son," the nurse explained, "and apparently broke his arm."

---------------

Sam glanced at the scene in the office. "Well, Sam?" Tucker asked.

"OK, OK! I admit it. I was over reacting. Just drop it, okay?" she asked as Danny walked out of school shooting them a worried look.

Jack glared at Dash as he walked by. "You'll be hearing from my lawyer," he said, slamming the door shut.

"See?" Tucker asked, and the two walked back to class.

------------------------------------------------------

Danny bit his lip as Jack started up the car. "Daniel, the nurse could have found out about it, and I think she hinted at it. That was stupid of you, next time just bite your lip," he ordered. "I will contact my lawyer to make sure this doesn't happen again, remember Danny, if anyone finds out…"

Danny gulped. If anyone found out, he'd be sent to live with Vlad for sure. "No one will, Dad, I'm sorry," he apologized, his heart beating quickly with fear.

Jack sighed. "Start your chores," he said unsympathetically as an angry Danny slammed the car door.

--------------------------

Once he got inside, Danny didn't start his chores right away. Instead, he grabbed his picture of Jazz and his mother from his bedroom and started to cry.

Jack had threatened to send him to live with Vlad after he found out Vlad was also part ghost, part human.

Jazz, what should I do? Danny wondered. He couldn't tell anyone; that was out of the question; he could run away, but he had no one to turn to and if he got caught he'd surely be turned back into Jack who would turn him into Vlad Masters.

I hate this, Danny thought. Jazz, I wish you were here. I wish I could make a wish and have everything just go away.

Deep down, he knew that Jazz was there, in spirit. Jazz, he thought, wherever you are, please stay safe.
