No joke, I started writing this chapter after I had finished the chapter from 'He's Mine Now' and I wrote Daniel instead of Danny so many times before realizing I was doing it so don't be surprised if you see a Daniel in there somewhere.

Danny let out a blue wisp sigh. He leaned back on the tree he was in and looked over the expanse of the forest. He had been looking for hours but since the box ghost, he hasn't had to deal with any other ghosts. No Vlad. No 'Master'. Nothing. Danny ran a hand through his hair tiredly and turned back to the hotel. Mavis had something to tell him and though he was curious about his master, he was also curious about the vampiress. Just being around her awoke more and more memories of his life. He's only been here for a week and he's remembered more than the years spent in Halloween Town. He hasn't felt like this towards anyone since….

Danny sighed again. The blue wisp of breath evaporating in the air.

He couldn't remember her name. Could he? It started with an S.

Sara?

Saria?

Sam?

Danny shook his head as he floated down to the ground, stuffing his hands into his sweatshirt pocket. All these thoughts were making him tired. He'd go back to his room and take a nap. Maybe he'd have another dream that would help him find this 'master' of his. Who would've been his 'master' anyway? Maybe he was a teacher? Someone who showed him how to use his powers before he lost his memories? No. That was something Danny remembered. He had to figure out most of his powers. The struggles of running into walls and being discovered by other people were vaguely apparent in his mind.

Passing each tree, Danny watched his feet move in turn towards the hotel.

Maybe he wasn't even human. Maybe he was never a human in the first place.

No, he was human, he remembered that part.

Passing over the bridge, Danny's attention shifted to the panic that seemed to flow through the crowd. He looked around for his aunt and uncle and found them with Dracula and his friends. His aunt Sally looked the most calm out of all of them so he went to her.

"Aunt Sally, what's going on?" he asked, attracting the attention of the rest of the group.

"My mavey wavey is missing! She's gone!" Dracula exclaimed before burying his face in his hands.

Danny froze. Mavis was missing?

"Wait, what do you mean, she's missing? She can't be missing. Mavis wouldn't just leave. She's- She's-" Danny rambled before being cut off by Dracula.

"That's why you had one of your ghosts take her! Filling her head with stories! You've taken her, haven't you?! You were planning on taking her all along!" Dracula exclaimed, pointing a finger at Danny accusingly.

Jack stood between the two, holding his hands up to Drac, his eye sockets narrowed seriously while Sally set a hand on her son's shoulder while he was silent. His glowing green eyes focused on the floor.

"Now Dracula, you're being irrational here. Danny wouldn't take Mavis away without anyone knowing. He wouldn't do it at all. I'm sure there's a logical explanation as to why Mavis is missing." Jack said as Dracula lowered his hand and slumped again. "We'll all work to find her. I promise."

Dracula nodded and turned to apologize to Danny only to find the ghost boy had disappeared.

"Danny?"

Meanwhile, Danielle was sitting with Johnny, talking about their adventures. She had been laughing at something he had said when Danny's head popped out of the middle of the table, causing the stein boy to scream and fall back in his chair.

"Danny? Why are you in the table? That trick hasn't working in-" she started.

"Mavis is missing!"

"What?" Johnny exclaimed, sitting up and peeking over the table as Danny phased the rest of the way through.

"Mavis went missing! Dracula blames me for it! And I think Vlad is behind it!" Danny explained, standing up straight as his hands moved. "He's been sending ghosts into the hotel and up until today, I thought it was just to be a pest but he's actually done something! He took Mavis! I need your help, Danielle."

Dani nodded and smirked as she transformed. As the rings of light passed over her, she stretched. Pulling her arms over her head, exposing her stomach more in the process. Johnny stared at her in awe as she put her hands on her hips. Danny nodded and took off into the forest. Danielle smirked at the red head, closing his mouth before winking and taking off after her brother.

Danielle and Danny sored through the trees, turning intangible a few times in order to avoid crashing.

"Any ideas where he might be?" Dani called forward to her brother, who stared ahead.

'Just one.' Danny thought as a memory flashed in his mind.

Danny sat, looking out at the water that surrounded the his little island of ice. He had to think about his time in the hotel. His time with Mavis.

She wanted to tell him something.

He sighed, thinking about the vampiress. She was beautiful. Adorable. The way her eyes had seemed to sparkle when feigning innocence with her father. Her laugh. Her amazement. The way she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear that never seemed to stay. Even her bat form was beautiful. He wanted to spend a lot of time with her.

But…

With his training back in Halloween town and Mavis' overprotective father. There was no way they'd be able to spend any time together after he had to go home. He'd stay at the hotel but it wasn't possible. He had an entire world of ghosts to maintain and take care of. He could visit her every few weeks but he wasn't sure he could handle all the traveling in that tiny hearse.

But seeing her would be worth it.

Danny sighed again and set a hand on his cheek, his elbow resting on his knee.

"You seem lost in thought. You have yet to notice me so I assume that's why." a voice spoke.

Danny blinked and looked up to see Vlad floating high in the air above him. He quickly dropped into a battle stance, his hands glowing green with energy ready to be released. Vlad held up his hands in defense.

"Calm yourself, Daniel. I have no ill intentions this time. Just a message." Vlad said.

"A message?" Daniel asked.

"Of course." Vlad began before crossing his arms. "Do you recall one who calls himself your master?"

Danny froze. His muscles stiffening as fear filled his eyes. Had Vlad been having nightmares as well? Was he trying to help him? The older ghost took notice of Danny's reaction and his face softened.

"I see. You've been having nightmares too?"

"B-But… That can't be right. I know you. You'd never let yourself have a master!" Danny panicked.

He'd been remembering Vlad the most out of all the people he remembered. The teasing. The constant intrusion of his plans. Danny and Vlad had been enemies. Why? He had yet to remember but he knew one thing. He knew Vlad. His human half. His grudge with someone that had caused their meeting. Even the constant speeches about how he could train the ghost teen. Instead of glaring at him, Vlad simply held out his hands in defense.

"He's not my master. In a way, he's me. I knew he'd come for you eventually but what you need to realize is that I'm here. I'm always open to accept you as my son. You'll know where to find me." Vlad said before disappearing into a flash of pink energy.

Later that night, Danny had sat on the roof of the building for hours, contemplating what Vlad had said. He had acted like he meant well but Danny knew better. Vlad wasn't to be trusted and the disappearance of Mavis had proved him right. Vlad would do anything to have him as a son.

Hurting his uncle.

Attacking him.

Even kidnapping Mavis.

Danny glared ahead. He knew exactly where he was going. Vlad was still half human, there'd be no way the humans would expect him to have a vampire with him if he were to visit the small transylvanian village outside of the haunted forest. Changing into his human disguise that only consisted of a black cloak that could be mistooken as a grim reaper cloak, he walked into the human village. Dani followed him into the busy streets with her hands in the pockets of her hoodie. Having changed back to her human form without anyone noticing.

"You know where you're going?" she asked, her eyes scanning the streets.

"If anything, Vlad would use his human form to blend in with the humans. Keeping Mavis with him might be difficult since vampires are hazardous to sun. He'd travel with her at night. We'll rest for a few hours until the sun rises and then search the village." Danny instructed.

Danielle nodded before looking around and pointing at a building labeled 'Inn' in transylvanian. Danny nodded to her as the two made their way over and checked in.

Am I the only one who just noticed Vlad's power is pink? Kinda girly, huh?
