Alright! It's finally here! Sorry it took me so long but I was suffering from some major writer's block not to mention planning for my senior prom and working all the time. I plan on finishing this story up within the next few chapters!

Chapter 12

As soon as they got to his room, Dani made herself comfortable on Danny's bed while he looked through the papers. Having his back to her, Danny realized how quiet the young halfa clone was and turned to check on her. He smiled when he saw that she had fallen asleep. He stood and walked over before stroking her hair. Sure she looked like a teen but she was only 4 years old. Her aging had increased during her travels until she stopped at 18. Her traveling made her a lot smarter and as Danny's ghostly assistant, she knew almost as much as he did about the ghost world. Danny's hand froze when a thought occurred to him. Sure, she was his assistant and basically his sister (calling her a clone was rude) but it wasn't really like her to follow him to Transylvania just to give him his reports.

Danny knelt by the bed and nudged the girl.

"Leave m' 'lone..." Dani moaned, tiredly, turning away from him and burying her face more into the pillow.

Danny let out a small sigh and stood up, yawning slightly.

"Now that I think about it, I haven't gotten much sleep either..." he said aloud, pushing the girl over slightly as he layed in his bad. "We can talk in the morning..."

Neither were aware of the vampiric figure watching from the window (like a creeper). Vladimir Plasmius was annoyed. He had already lost his grip of the teen boy when he died fully and now the ghost's half human clone had seeked out refuge in the hotel as well.

'No doubt the brat will tell Daniel all about my plans...' Vlad thought, glaring at the two through the glass before flying off into the darkness of the trees, preparing for his final plan.

Danny, who had fallen into deep sleep, groaned as a nightmare consumed his unconscious mind.

Screams echoed all around him.

"See here, boy. Look around. You're just a ghost. You have no friends. No family. None who would care for you. You're just a ghost." A familiar voice taunted.

Danny fell to his knees. When had he been standing? He couldn't remember. All he knew was the voice that echoed around him. He had given up, beginning to think those words were true. Listening to the screams all around him, he didn't recognize any of them but it still brought tears to his eyes.

It was his fault.

He knew it was true. Why wouldn't it be? He was a ghost. He would do something to cause someone else misery. On purpose or not. His existence was a waste of space. Danny pulled his knees to his chest, ready to give up. So many deaths were his fault. Why shouldn't he just give up.

"Danny! Wake up!"

He almost didn't hear it. The voice of a female calling out to him. A blurred image of a female with black hair appeared in his mind. She seemed panicked, like she was worried about him. But why would she be worried about him? He was just a ghost.

"You're just a ghost. You don't have friends. You're just my pet."

"Danny! Please! Open your eyes!"

Sam? No. Sam was gone. Because of him. The memory of her dead body flashed in his mind. A gun held to her head as she screamed at him to do something. Danny gripped his head. What had she wanted him to do?

"Go find something pretty for me while I take care of these pests that followed us."

"Danny!"

Another voice joined the already urging one. It was muffled but it seemed familiar.

"What's going on?"

"Danny won't wake up! He's having a nightmare!"

A nightmare? Is that what this is? Just a bad dream? Then they're alive? Sam? Tucker? Jazz? Mom and Dad?

"No, you fool! You've killed them all. This is simply memories of their deaths." The voice explained. "You don't need them. Just me. Listen to my voice. Come to me when you wake up. You'll know where to find me."

"I just need you. My master..."

"Danny!"

The phantom shot up in his bed, colliding heads with the black haired girl that was his sister. Danielle rubbed her head as she glared at the boy, their aunt Sally watching from her spot on the other side of the bed where she had been stroking her son's hair, as if trying to coax him out of his dream.

"You have a hard head, bro." Dani laughed from her spot on the floor, her hand to her head.

Danny couldn't help but smile slightly at her.

Later, the two walked through the halls, Danielle had changed to her ghost form so she could follow if Danny decided to phase through the wall.

"I get the feeling you have a different reason of being here than visiting." Danny finally said, voicing his thoughts.

Danielle, knowing her brother, wasn't shocked at all when he said this so she simply nodded as they passed the lounge. She grabbed his hand and guided him over to a table, sitting him down before taking a seat as well.

"I did come to tell you about the reports I did for the ghosts but it was something that I discovered in the reports that I came to talk to you about." She held her hands together as she spoke, leaning against the table on her elbows. "It seems that several of the new arrivals have left before getting organized and debriefed along with some of the old ghosts leaving the zone without telling anyone. I ran into Ember and she told me she hadn't seen Skulker in a long time and was looking for him. When I came out of the zone, following a new arrival, I came across a mansion that belonged to Vlad Masters. You know him as Plasmius. I ran into him on my way here and I think he's planning on attacking the hotel."

"You're sure of this?" Danny asked, getting serious.

"When Ember gets worried about her boyfriend that she already never sees and doesn't care about, I'm positive."

Danny nodded before running a hand through his hair.

"Me and Mavis went for a fly and Plasmius attacked us a few days ago." Danielle's eyes widened and Danny held up a hand before she could start fussing about him. "We both got away just fine but I went back out to talk to him-"

"Talk to him? He attacked you and you decide to have a chat?" Danielle said, beginning to get upset before Danny fixed her with a look.

"He told me something about my memories and I had to find out more. You would've done the same." he explained.

Danielle opened her mouth to respond before closing it again, knowing he was right. She leaned back against the chair, crossing her arms as she watched her brother.

"So what'd he tell you? Are you sure you can believe him?"

"I don't know but he told me I tried to be a hero. That I used to be like you, a half ghost, before my family turned on me..." Danny lowered his head to look down at his shoes.

At this, Dani seemed to have enough, shooting up in her chair and slamming her hands on the table, making the others in the room jump.

"He did what!? Danny! You know that's wrong! How would he know how you died?"

"Do you? Does anyone? Plasmius seems to be the only one who knows anything about my life. How is it I know more about my sister's life than my own?" Danny said, raising his voice but staying seated.

Dani stared at him for a few seconds before sitting back down, slumping in her seat.

"I guess you're right. I don't even know what happened to you... but we can't trust Vlad."

"Yeah..." Danny agreed.

The two sat in silence before a cough caused them to look up at the redhead that had made his way over, looking more at Danielle than Danny.

"Hey, I heard shouting. Is everything ok?" he asked.

Danielle and Danny exchanged a look before she stood and smiled at Johnny.

"Yeah, we're fine. You're Johnnystein, right?"

The redhead's eyes lit up and he smiled goofily at her as he nodded.

"Yeah. But, uh, you can call me Johnny. Or John. Or Stein. Or J-dog." he rambled as Danny laughed silently and Danielle giggled.

"J-dog?" she laughed. "I'll just stick to Johnny."

The redhead blushed and stuck his hands in his pockets and grinned. Their silence was interupted by the black haired vampiress as she entered the conversation.

"Hi there. Don't mind me. I just came to get Danny. You two have fun." She grinned, leading the ghost boy away by his arm and stopping at the open doorway to peek back at the couple still standing by the table.

"Something tells me you've got a plan, Mave." Danny said, leaning against the wall and grinning at the girl.

Mavis smiled innocently before taking Danny's gloved hand and leading him along the halls.

"I just wanted to spend some time with you. Is that a crime?" she asked, her eyes big with well practiced innocence.

"No but I don't know if shipping my sister with Johnny isn't either."

"Come on! Don't you think they look cute together?"

"Yeah but she is my sister. Forgive me for being protective." Danny said as they walked onto the patio.

"Johnny's a big softie. There's no way he'd hurt her. He thinks she's super cool. Did you see how he looked when she talked about traveling? Adorable! I feel like a proud mom!" she clutched her hands in front of her chest.

Danny laughed and wrapped an arm around her shoulders as they sat on a bench, watching the swimmers in the pool.

"Alright. Alright. I give. You can play matchmaker as long as I get more time with you." He grinned at the vampiress' blush and she nodded.

"Of course."

Ok so before the hate comments come in, I'd like to explain. Yes, I did have Danielle say she was Danny's sister instead of his cousin but I wanted the two to have a close bond and personally, I think the show should've had them as a form of siblings anyway. It's super cute. I like it. It makes a bond that Danny can attach to during the story and it's someone he can trust that can end up with Johnny.
