A/N: Thank you so much to all my reviewers, I know this is a chapter that lots of you have been waiting for so here it is.

Alex flew low over the town keeping an eye out for strange activities, it had been quiet for the past few days with the exception of the usual jinx's which were barely a challenge for her anymore. The only thing that had ever been giving her any problems was Danny Phantom, but he hadn't shown up for days. Not since the alligator incident. She didn't really want to be out tonight, but she felt she had a duty to be. She hadn't yet visited her mum's grave yet today as she always did this day every year and she was hoping for a quiet night so she could justify finishing early so she could go to the graveyard.

"HEY!" A voice from behind her shouted, Alex pivoted in mid-air and looked down towards the speaker, it was Danny Phantom, but this time he was carrying some sort of gun; it looked almost like her grandfather's Fenton Foamer, but it couldn't be that.

"What do you want?" Alex asked warily.

"I want you to get out of here!" Danny snapped shooting the Fenton Foamer at her. A small burst of foam shot forward and wrapped itself around Alex's eyes, suddenly the mixture began to harden and tighten and Alex was struggling to pull it off.

"Let's see you use the evil eye on me now!" Danny growled as he fired a blast of ectoplasm from his hand at her, it hit her squarely in the chest and she tumbled downwards several feet before regaining her balance.

"Ack! What the hell is this stuff!" Alex yelped scratching desperately at the hardened goo covering her eyes.

"It's your doom!" Danny yelled punching her towards the floor. Alex crashed through several trees before landing in a crumpled heap on the ground. Alex winced and pushed herself up on her elbow, the sound of leaves rustling in front of her triggered her senses, she opened her hand and fired. Danny skidded backwards holding his stomach.

"I might not be able to see you, but I can still hear you." Alex growled as she stood up and let out a wave of green ectoplasm in the direction she thought Danny was in, the sound of him leaping from the ground let her know where she was and Alex lunged towards him.

Danny struggled with the blinded Alex before kneeing her in the stomach causing her to reel back in pain, she coughed violently a few times before raising her head to speak.

"And to think I thought you were one of the good guys." She said bitterly.

"I AM. That's why I'm here." Danny retorted shooting at her. Alex cringed as the side of her shirt crackled in the heat the blast gave off.

"But I'm not DOING anything bad." Alex growled holding her side.

"Please. I've seen your eyes, you're trying to destroy the world." Danny spat angrily as he lunged at her again.

"Destroy the world?" Alex murmured before Danny slammed into her. Danny's eyes caught sight of the steel bridge running over the river not to far away, if she couldn't see it, she couldn't phase through it, he smiled and flew towards it and started talking again.

"Don't play dumb with me." He said, and sure enough Alex followed his voice instinctively.

"I'm not!" Alex yelled firing at him and missing, she flew closer.

"Yes… just a little closer…" Danny thought to himself. Alex's hand raised almost involuntarily to the whistle that death had given her, but no, she could deal with this herself. Plus, she wasn't doing anything evil like he claimed, maybe he would realise that.

Danny reached forward and grabbed the ghost girl's shirt and threw her towards one of the legs of the bridge, there was a loud and sickening crack as her head and shoulders connected with the metal, she slid backwards and laid as limp as a rag doll on a horizontal support. Through the pain Alex registered her mind going black and everything disappeared.

Danny floated in the air not too far away and watched as she passed out.

"Good. It's the ghost zone for you." He growled, today of all days he hadn't been in the mood to mess around, he missed Sam terribly and this day every year made it worse. Most ghosts knew by now to avoid him on this day of the year. The day of Sam's death.

His eyes widened in shock and horror as white rings slid across the ghost's body leaving his own daughter lying in her place. He flew forward to her but gravity began to take it's toll on her body and she slipped off of the support beam and plummeted towards the river. Danny dived downwards after her, his arms outstretched towards her.

"Alex!" He screamed in shock and desperation as she hit the water and began to sink. His own body breached the water and he watched the air from Alex's lungs escape through her mouth causing her to sink faster. The hardened Fenton Foam that had been covering her eyes slid off and dissolved in the water, Alex's hair blossomed around her head as she sunk downwards through the water. Danny reached out to her as much as he could and eventually his hands grabbed onto Alex's leg, he swam upwards as fast as he could, puling Alex to the surface.

He pulled his only daughter onto the rocky shore and panicked at the fact that her chest was not moving with her breathing as it should have been. He forced air into her lungs again and again before she eventually coughed up some water and began breathing shallowly. He breathed a sigh of relief and ran his hand through her hair, his hand halted at the back of her head, it was warm and wet there. Shakily he held his hand in front of his face to see it stained with scarlet blood. Alex's blood.

In all his life he had never flown so fast, Alex was in his human arms as he burst through the hospital doors within two minutes of him launching from the ground by the river.

"Somebody help me!" He screamed as he burst through the door, nurses stared at him and Alex in shock and the room was silent for a second, suddenly there was a blur of activity, Alex was taken from his arms and rushed into a bed which was then wheeled through several doors.

Suddenly a nurse was at his side guiding him to a chair, he obeyed numbly.

"Sir, what happened?" She asked him calmly as she kneeled down to be eye to eye with him in the chair.

"I… she hit her head, and fell in the river. She stopped breathing… I…" Danny murmured.

"You resuscitated her?" The nurse offered. Danny nodded.

"Well she's in good hands, we've got the best doctors in with her, they're going to do all that they can for her." She nurse said reassuringly. Danny stiffened, he knew hospital talk, he knew those words meant that they didn't think they'd be able to do anything. He knew all the "I'm sorry sir's" and the "We did all we could's" he'd heard them all before. He breathed in that horrible hospital smell of sick people and disinfectant, he hated hospitals.

At some point he realised that the nurse had left him and he was alone in the waiting room, he stared down at the blood on his hands and cried. What had he done?
